While p=np would have enabled a large number of interesting solutions
Proving P=NP would mean a P solution to an NP problem was theoretically possible, but it wouldn't necessarily help you find one.
Even if P!=NP, we might still be able to solve some NP problems in P time using quantum computing, although some people believe this is not true. Quantum computing can speed up NP algorithms but may not be able to get all the way to P.
I didn't read the paper, but I skimmed the abstract. If this is really a proof that P!=NP, then Norbert deserves a Fields Medal. Alas, he appears to be over the 40 year age limit.
Norway has no minimum wage, and has higher incomes and less inequality than America. Other countries with no minimum wage: Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland.
That's completely different than opening the wallets of every American to bail out the Banking Industry. Thanks Republicans, for being SOOOOOOO smart that you don't need my money! Oh, wait...
Before blaming that on Republicans, you should look at the facts: Democrats voted 172 to 63 in favor of the bailout, while Republicans voted 108 to 91 against it.
This is an example of BLM denouncing violence. The GPP was requesting evidence for the opposite: BLM advocating or excusing violence. So far no evidence for that has been provided.
BLM advocates nonviolence and loving engagement. When people associated with BLM have engaged in violence, the organization has denounced their actions.
Can you cite any white supremacist organization that has denounced the actions of James Fields in Charlottesville?
There are a lot of legitimate reasons to criticise BLM, but comparing them to Nazis is absurd.
BLM doesn't advocate violence in pursuit of their objectives. In fact, they don't even have any objectives. Many activists don't understand that to be effective, you need to have clear actionable goals. As an example of this, look at the two movements that arose in reaction to the 2008 financial bailout: Occupy Wall Street, and the Tea Party. One had clear goals, the other did not. Occupy Wall Street accomplished nothing, and has mostly faded away. Meanwhile, the Tea Party is running the country.
You could find the presence of varroa mites, indicators that the bees are suffering from dysentery or nosema,...
I don't think these are separate issues from the neonicotinoids. Exposure to pesticide weakens the bees, and that can make them more vulnerable to these other afflictions.
You're talking about a guy that does only what his handlers want him to. It really couldn't be more obvious...
Trump has directly contradicted his own "handlers", and made them look like fools. For instance, the statements he made about firing Comey. Several of his top advisors have been fired or quit. It certainly is not "obvious" that they are controlling him, and unlikely that they are.
Trump is amazing. Republicans were failing once again to repeal Obamacare, the CBO was estimating that their latest plan would deprive 15 million Americans of health insurance, and his poll numbers were falling fast. So he changes the subject, and manipulates the Democrats into arguing about combat soldiers in skirts, even though the military had already said this is a total non-issue. Absolutely brilliant.
Wrong. Many crops don't require bees for pollination. For instance, corn pollen is carried in the wind. Other crops, such as alfalfa are pollinated by bees, but don't need pollination to produce the crop (the leaves and stems) and may produce more foliage without pollination. So why should these farmers give a crap about a beekeeper a mile away that they don't even know? Hint: They don't.
It is already ILLEGAL to spray these pesticides without notifying the beekeepers, but enforcement is lax, and when a beekeeper finds a million dead bees in her hives, it is almost impossible to find out which farmer was responsible.
These pesticides should be banned except for some very narrow uses.
Disclaimer: My mom is a beekeeper. I help her with her hives, so I know a bit about these issues.
So if you really think we are due for "Great Bursting 2.0", then put your money where your mouth is and get rich. Then come back here and post a picture of your yacht. Good luck.
He says hiring standards had been lowered for diversity.
True. But he doesn't say that is because women are inherently less capable, but inherently less interested, so the standards have to be lowered because the female candidate pool is shallower.
Disclaimer: I am just trying to clarify what James wrote. I am not agreeing with it. I like working with chicks.
And Christians have killed more than those two combined.
Then obviously they should not be allowed on the Internet either. The Internet should only be for good* people.
But I am not so sure that Christians have killed more. If you add up the deaths from the gulags, the Holodomor, and the Great Leap Forward, then communism killed at least 50 million people. That is a high bar. The colonization of the New World may have killed that many, but that was driven more by profit than by evangelism, so perhaps the credit for those deaths should go to capitalism rather than Christianity.
Nobody is going to start censoring capitalists or communists unless they too start marching with torches yelling Heil Trump and committing acts of domestic terrorism.
Both capitalists and communists have killed way more people than neo-Nazis.
You can prevent it by shorting overvalued tech stocks. If enough people do that, the bubble will deflate. If you are right, you will not only prevent a burst, but you will make money in the process. Of course, if you are wrong, and there is no bubble, you will lose money, but you seem very certain that you are smarter than the market, so why worry?
but it is 'solving' the problem with market forces instead of laws
It is solving one problem, but creating other problems. Now that GoDaddy has set the precedent of denying service based on content, they will come under pressure to deny service to other customers as well. Should all white supremacists be denied service, even if they are non-violent? What about groups advocating for other ethnicities? What about BLM? What about James Damore?
GoDaddy has a right to shutdown the neo-Nazis, but may regret doing so.
Slashdot Mirror
strong unions already took care of that and with nearly 100% membership
Union membership by country:
Sweden - 82%
Denmark - 76%
Norway - 57%
Switzerland - 22%
Businesses where low wages are common, such as retail and fast-food, are the least likely to be unionized.

And to continue with the stereotyping, I'm also a vegan.
You forgot to mention that you don't have a Facebook account.
There are GMO salmon. There are also GMO fluorescent tropical fish available at my local Petco.
It's not that hard really.

It's all over the news.

there are other pollinators out there.
We could switch to robotic pollinators.
The robots pollinate, but they don't produce honey.
No bees means no pollination.
Wrong. Many crops don't require bees for pollination. For instance, corn pollen is carried in the wind. Other crops, such as alfalfa are pollinated by bees, but don't need pollination to produce the crop (the leaves and stems) and may produce more foliage without pollination.

Apple can't make their own search engine for the same amount?
Current situation: $3B in royalty - $0 in cost = $3B in profit.
Your proposal: $3B in ad revenue - $3B in development, hosting and indexing = $0 profit.
Of course, in reality cloning Google would cost WAY more than $3B. Google's search related operating costs are more than $20B/yr.
Apple is larger than Microsoft, so why not break up Apple first, and see how it goes?
Bigness is not a problem in itself. Only abuse of monopoly power. Apple is nowhere close to a monopoly in any market.
Then: the stock market shits itself in terror.
... and the short sellers make a fortune.
So if you really think we are due for "Great Bursting 2.0", then put your money where your mouth is and get rich. Then come back here and post a picture of your yacht. Good luck.
Women in power are quite often downright evil.
Just be glad that never happens with men.

If a capitalist Christian kills, a one goes in each column, not one or the other.
What if a capitalist Christian neo-Nazi suicide bomber accidentally blows himself up?
And Christians have killed more than those two combined.
Then obviously they should not be allowed on the Internet either. The Internet should only be for good* people.

We're entering dangerous ground...
First they came for the Nazis, and I did not speak out because I was not a Nazi ...
I don't know how to prevent that one, either.
