That is the cash purchaser paying the retailer more than they need to. There's no conservation law stating that store revenue is a constant and missed revenue from one customer must be made up for by another, nor that…

They don't count the additions or shifts because they're both linear time operations, and thus provably at least as fast as multiplication (both in an asymptotic and exact sense). In any case where multiplication is…
Does he also run a time machine? He bought TikTok only earlier this year.

I don't know why someone with a cousin named Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso is that much of a better hire than someone named…
There could also be some degree of "(5) bandwagon effect" players, who pump money into an outcome specifically to get people talking about its possibility, thereby increasing its probability of coming into fruition.

> You can generally reduce the problem to a finite alphabet by taking the finite subset that actually appears in the input. You can generally sort any array in constant time by taking that constant to be the time it…
I feel like the section on primality testing with Fermat's test should at least make a shout out to Carmichael numbers and that for some inputs the probability you get a false positive result is 1.
This is so tangentially related to the P vs NP problem that the title is basically pure clickbait. Remove every sentence relating to polynomial anything and the information content of the write-up doesn't change at all.
Capping margins at a percentage also directly breeds inefficiencies. If you could spend $10M to fix a problem that costs you $4M/yr, you're effectively paying $10M now to lose $400k in annual profit potential.
It depends on their test dataset. If the test set was written 80% by AI and 20% by humans, a tool that labels every essay as AI-written would have a reported accuracy of 80%. That's why other metrics such as specificity…
TOTP inside a password manager doesn't make much sense to me. What's the point of two factor auth if both factors are stored together?
Only finitely many values of BB can be mathematically determined. Once your Turing Machines become expressive enough to encode your (presumably consistent) proof system, they can begin encoding nonsense of the form "I…
I don't understand the point of this article, as it doesn't define an objective function. It just states a strategy that is only practically implementable for small board sizes (given the cited NP-completeness result)…
Not specific to this article, but it's tragic that computer science curricula, and discussions of these algorithms, virtually never highlight the tight connection between binary search and long division. Long division…
I think the problem is in going for a Computer Science degree when you really meant to study Software Engineering.
What counts as a standard formatter? Python one-liners are Turing complete even without semicolons, evals, execs, and with finite stack depth. E.g. some formatters keep this at one line, while others introduce line…

This isn't an area I know much about, but wouldn't there be a security risk involved with storing the TOTP seeds alongside the passwords? Or is that not a real concern?
I often find myself mixing Nones into lists containing built-in types when the former would indicate some kind of error. I could wrap them all into a nullable-style type, but why shouldn't the interpreter implicitly…
Why would you assume this targeted three people? I assume the most likely scenario is that the attackers targeted as many Hezbollah members as they could, and were extremely successful at it.
This proof has almost nothing to do with Euclid. The Pythagoreans knew about it more than a century before his birth (Hippasus was apocryphally killed for divulging this proof), and the proof is widely believed to have…
I don't think that follows at all. Any series of rational numbers that converges to a rational (such as any appropriate geometric series) will still converge to a rational if you remove any finite or co-finite subset of…
