Evidence that P = NP (or one is a subset of the other) means all cryptography is doomed to fail.
No it wouldn't.
f(x) = 0 will securely encrypt anything you throw at it, and that's not even O(n) complexity.
Oh, you want reversible encryption? One time pads are perfect, and they scale linearly.
P = NP just means that there's a polynomial equation to get the same solution set for a given exponential (or worse) equation. (And equation here can refer to a simple equation or a complex and iterative program, which itself is still an equation as long as its deterministic.)
Evidence of P = NP doesn't make it true, nor does it give us an actual solution for a given NP problem, nor does it mean the polynomial solution will be faster than the non-polynomial one (there may be some insane coefficient on it that makes the NP solution better for all practical use).
Cryptography is all about keeping a secret. Today we do that on-demand with key exchange algorithms. If all key exchange algorithms are trivial to break, we'll go back to pre-shared keys or one time pads. Both options are much more secure than using an insecure channel to establish a secure channel, regardless of your algorithm or how ephemeral your keys are.
The problem is that they're unwieldy. You'll want to update your keys/pads regularly, perhaps even for each message. This means generating lots in advance and agreeing on a method to cycle through them, or it means using a secure channel frequently to generate new ones. There's no revocation mechanism, so you'll need a secure channel whenever shit goes down. For a secure channel, the best option is to meet in person, verify the other party, and generate and exchange keys/pads. You'll also need to store these securely.
Cryptography will survive P=NP if that ever pans out (it won't).
ffs where do they all come from a dorito is literally some flat corn with dyed garlic salt on it how are these so many calories this is a true pnp problem, not like this worthless paper
Corn is what we feed to pigs and cows to fatten them up on the cheap. The only thing in the world that actually fully digests it is the termite. Corn is a trash crop.
A machine needs a 0 wage, which a human can't beat and automation will continue to get cheaper.
Automation will get cheaper to setup. Run costs will be primarily fixed to power costs. Maintenance costs will gradually go up. Support contracts will go up.
Once automation is pervasive and most businesses can't function without it, it'll turn into "Pay us our quarterly licensing fee or your robots will go on strike.". Imagine if McDonald's decided to fully automate their kitchens and gave the contract to someone like IBM or Oracle.
It's not even clear that jobs are lost. They calculate -10 000 jobs for 1$ increase due to automatisation, but they're not considering the number of jobs that will be created by having 2.6 millions workers with extra money to spend.
I'll help you. There will be 0 extra jobs due to people earning $1 more per hour.
He's not wrong. Within LGBT... communities, transsexuals are usually outcasts and treated with hostility. Even bisexuals aren't seen as true members of their community. The classic example of such conflict across different groups is gays being repeatedly told to wait their turn, now is not your time, etc. during the civil rights era. Just sit back and hang tight, we're dealing with racism/sexism now, and we need to stay on message. You'll get your turn, and then we'll support you. (And of course that support was nowhere to be found.)
That mentality was real and it held gay rights back a few decades.
Freedom of speech implies that you're allowed a voice.
No it does not
Yes it does. Just as you can get a phone line, electrical service, run a ham radio, get a driver's license, register to vote, and have the post office carry your mail, all regardless of what you think about wombats.
I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm going to take the opportunity to point out that Charles in Charge had the better theme song, but it was no replacement for Three's Company.
Strawman argument, even assuming that those arrested were 1) actually rioters and 2) conspired to riot using this site. You don't need all of that information to catch the other conspirators, and to be honest, looking for conspirators is an enormous waste of time. money, and manpower. Trump wasted far more resources dropping a bomb on the CIA's tunnels in Afghanistan.
Strawman argument? It's an argument built around the exact specifics of the actual case. And it's correct.
The government has made no effort whatsoever to limit the warrant to actual evidence of any particular crime
Felony crimes were committed by certain people, many of those people were affiliated with the site. It's standard to then issue a warrant to grab the site's data to investigate who else was involved in crimes, including conspiracy.
Evidence discovered via the warrant will then be used to press charges against those who committed crimes. Those who did not commit crimes are in the clear.

Fewer.
Survey says "NO".
If his claim is true, he has standing to file suit.
Amazon would have to show they didn't steal his idea.
If P = NP then P * N ^ 100 = P * N ^ 99 = P
P = 0, N = ?
N = 1, P = ?

Since it's the 8th-generation, "Octium" would be fitting. There was even a Lone Gunmen episode about it...
Yes, there was.
Yep. Try and post the 'N' word here. Go ahead. And the owners of Slashdot have every right to do so.
Now if the DOJ comes in and bashes down your door for saying or typing it, then there's a violation of the First.
Yeah, they censor it, imperfectly. It's the only word they do, as far as I know. Fascists.
The best course of action absolutely is to ignore the "protest".
Rule 1 of trolls: Don't feed the trolls.
Uh, one point three million, not thirteen million.
And they're IPs, not people.
At what point does free speech, which is protected, become hate speech, which isn't?
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd.
ALL speech is protected.
The trick is he's correct.
People are calling other people (who don't agree with censorship) nazis.
People who think censorship is good are idiots.
Lower case "n", nazis are alive, sure. But you're not well.
No one 'has to' sell services to people
Wrong.
Utilities, hospitals, roads, public schools, the DMV, etc.

A group the size of about half of the US population during the signing of the constitution cannot be considered a "narrow scope."
Of course it can.
1.3 milliion and narrow scope are mutually exclusive.
No they aren't. Narrow is relative.
From the article:

Rioting, violence, and vandalism are illegal. So is conspiring to do those things.
Holy shit, you're retarded.
mi literally proved the AC's claims right before your eyes and you refuse to see it.
