From the summary, it is just a circular reasoning. The scientist has a good reason to believe that P=/=NP because other scientists have a good reason to believe that P=/=NP. Therefore there is a connection between P=NP? problem to the quantum theory. One had to understand theory is simply substituted by another hard to understand theory in a hope that since the connection is also hard to understand everyone would believe it is all connected.
That also reminded me of reasoning that how brain functions (or what human's mind is) can be explained by quantum theory. No one fully knows (yet) how brain functions and how the mind manifests in the brain so it must be connected to the [equally hard to explain] quantum theory.
Two theories have open conjectures =/=> these theories are related.
Time and time again, the USA has taken territory it could have just kept for itself, but we insist on giving it back to the people we took it from.
Well, it is obvious that you are wrong here. US could not have kept Iraq (as in "annexed" Iraq). It did not have to either considering that it usually installs puppet governments around the world. Even though it fails again and again, it is not for the lack of trying. This tactic would surely fail in Ukraine too.
Russia, on the other hand, can and will keep Crimea.
No, it is rather interesting how this airliner is deflecting discussion from MtGox's $400-450million lost money... Oh wait, the cost of Boeing 777 is surprisingly close to what MtGox "lost" in his snafu...
Coincidence? I think not!
Just giving a hint to the investigators of both cases...
Or you could spend three times that on a Bentley and have a reupholstered Volkswagen Phaeton that delivers all the mileage of a 1980s pickup truck (and is also less reliable).
Over priced as the Model S is, that price is going no where but down, and range is going to go up.
So what does it mean for Tesla's resale value? Did Consumer Reports take car's resale value into account?
Yeah, Excel 2013 and PowerPivot can even create relational data models out of them. That vendor was not aware of that either. To him, any spreadsheet = a table in SQL Server, no difference.
While SQL query design (with heavy checkpoint/drop down menu/etc UI) is sometimes useful, its ability to build queries with complicated logic is rather limited. It is good to write basic stuff or to learn basics of SQL writing, but people usually quickly move on to text mode in writing their SQLs.
I personally enjoyed solving complicated problems by writing a suitable query to our database. I liked a lot to tune my queries' performance, it felt like creating art.
My joy is about to end as our managers decided to buy a new software package from a vendor who did not see a difference between a relational database and Excel spreadsheets. Their approach to queries? No text mode, drop down menus for everything, logic of them is limited to simple joins and filters. One of that vendor's representatives said that we would not need tables other than to do simple lookups. Granted, their primary audience has never been IT professionals, so I am glad that my contribution to this project will end when the data is migrated to the new "better" system. I pity its future users though.
But... the software cannot be bad if millions are spent on it, right?
Exactly. The reason no-one RTFA is because it's usually shit, and they probably read it two days ago anyway. The comments are the interesting bit. Slashdot isn't a news site, it's a debate site.
No, it is not "debate" nor "argument" site. It is a "contradiction" site.
From what I read in Russian analytics reports, rebels are unlikely to have this done independently from their Saudi supporters.
Moreover by simple logic of "who would have benefited the most from the chemical attack", one can easily conclude that the Saudi intelligence forces were likely to be involved. The Saudi either directly helped the rebels to deploy and use the chemical weapons, or bribed some traitors in Syrian forces to pull the trigger. A few million dollars would surely do the trick. A few million dollars could easily make rebels gas themselves too.
What's Saudi interest in here? They clearly tried to manipulate US to attack Syria and as a result endanger upcoming US-Iranian talks. Both Iran and Syria would lose in case of the US attack, and Israel together with Saudi Arabia would benefit the most.
I usually put an envelope on my windshield, this way it looks like my car already got a parking ticket. My friend also puts a boot on his wheel, helps against car-jacks and police alike.
If we do become a space faring people to future generations he will likely be the best remembered American. Name anyone that accomplished anything greater in the last 200+ years? There is only one person in all of human history that will be remembered as the first person to step foot on another world. Even to this day it's likely the greatest accomplishment of us as a species let alone as a nation.
I doubt that the space faring people would forget Yuri Gagarin.
A bigger concern is what if two trains travelling toward each other collide due to a mistake or on a purpose? Isn't anyone affraid of a black hole consuming Earth here anymore?

That is right. Also do not forget hairdressers and telephone sanitizers.

I just drop a pile of papers on the staircase, and then repeat if they did not land in the right order.

Apparently you focus on mere feasibility of the simulation project, not its purpose.

There is nothing in developing your character that could go so wrong that deleting the character and re-creating it would not be able to fix.

TFA does not discuss/state that IT =/= STEM, but it points out how unexpectedly small intersection of IT and STEM seems to be.

Truly realistic physics requires quantum and relativity theories too.
Stochastic Calculus is where Knight's programmers failed miserably not so long ago. That and understanding of difference between bids and asks.

In a capitalist society, abundance is not a feature.
Who is saying about abundance? Solar power is limited.
