Are the upper class not simply the descendants of those who were once the upper echelon?

Fair enough. I guess I presumed the preference since he uses an iPhone.

I'm surprised that despite being able to concisely explain why Apple is preferable to Google due to the privacy implications of their respective business models, they're perfectly content with a Google Home in their kitchen! Maybe

I disagree. It's a cliche at this point that when Wal-Mart enters a town, all the mom and pop stores close up. The profit margins from distributing these goods now contributes to $WMT rather than staying in the local economy.

I'm curious how much it would cost to say double the worker's salaries (or halve their hours at the same pay). How many Foxconn man-hours does it take to produce an iPhone, and what is the average hourly wage?

I never say anything about d being even. Rather, as soon as d > 0, x{d} is even, so "almost all" x{d} are even. As you vary x and d, you cover all integers exactly once, so from this perspective, "almost all" integers

The twist x{d} is even as soon as d>0.

Even the phrase almost all is a bit misleading here, since there is no canonical choice of measure on the set of elliptic curves in question.

To back up my last claim, let me prove that 100% of positive integers are even in the same spirit: Fix any odd positive integer x, and consider its "twists" x{d}, which for positive d I define to be x*2^d. Every integer is of the

It's not accurate. Looking at the arxiv link ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1702.02325 ), the idea is you fix some elliptic curve E, and you look at its "twists" E^d, where the parameter d is a nonzero integer. I

That website doesn't call it crazy, it just points out many of the difficulties, and the comments refute many of them. I do have to admit, it did not occur to me that the work week would still effectively enforce an "ordering&quot

I'm not sure if you were serious, but I actually think completely getting rid of timezones is not that crazy of an idea. It would take some getting used to, but naively I don't think it'd be any harder than say, switching to

Shouldn't any halfway decent investor discover this when performing due diligence? Or is there more stupid money out there than I realize?

Depends on the game. Totally agree for FPS, but e.g. EA Skate was basically designed to be played with two sticks.

In Boston, I've used Eat24, GrubHub, Doordash, but never Uber for food. I actually didn't realize how popular it was until this article.

From https://www.kansas.com/news/local/article208812519.html District Attorney Marc Bennett said the Wichita police officer who fired the shot that killed Andrew Finch after a swatting call will not face charges.

But having experienced direct help, what it actually means is someone talks over my head no matter how much I say I don't understand. That sounds like a problem to me. I don't know your situation, but when this happens to me, I

I think what GP meant was that MD5 is meant to be cryptographic, and parenthetically, it's bad at it. MeowHash is not even meant to be cryptographic, so it is much faster.

I don't know about the subscriptions, but my significant other uses RTR one-offs for company parties and is a pretty satisfied customer.

Nit: it's spelled "fantastic". With the "ph", it made me think of "phantasm", which is a kind of ghost or illusion.

Word gets around. As soon as anyone catches wind of this, there will be headlines in every newspaper, and any company with something to hide will prevent employees from using it.

Pretty wild that the quoted example of a racist caricature is still a product on store shelves. To be honest, I'm surprised I haven't heard of any protests or boycotts of Quaker Oats due to this.

Nit: you need to calculate the Net Present Value of that $3,000,000, as well as subtracting the cost of tuition.

At my and other FAANG companies, this is necessarily true. EM track runs parallel to SWE track in terms of total comp, but there is no EM equivalent to the junior SWE roles.
