i think you mean DES not DSA.

vitamin A is not water soluble. a significant excess of vitamin A is not fun. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_a#Toxicity

quantum theory is a hypothesis. perhaps it's the best one so far for what the brain is made from. but it's truth is only as demonstrable as this: it's not yet been falsified.

if you want to build a reliable system, one useful thing to do is use equipment from multiple vendors. sure it's inconvenient, but by doing this you can often de-correlate failures…

perhaps you'd like to use -nativecss as the prefix rather than -ios? you'd hope styles would be portable across platforms?

the particular property of the stable distribution, i was thinking of, is "closure under convolution" which is the above marginalisation (i believe?). infinite divisibility is (yet…

i wonder if you are thinking of another monoid property of a gaussian? suppose we have: x ~ N(0,1) y|x ~ N(x, 1) then we have: y ~ N(0, 2) i.e., gaussians are closed under marginal…

all exponential family distributions may be written in a form that depends upon a set of fixed dimension sufficient statistics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_family the…

these torrent sites seem to have a business model that makes them money, even a profit. what prevents larger media companies from adopting this proven(?) business model?

the bsd license says: "Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice, .... in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution." m…

i'm a bit confused: the bsd license allows you to re-sell someone else's source, binaries, images, etc for a profit. you just have to include the copyright notice. is that what you…

you can't really account for academic time on a hours-per-week basis. there's too much variety. as others have noted, it's a modal way of working. one week it's this, next month it…

i think you might have misunderstood what i wrote. i didn't say artists make more money from spotify/last.fm. i said they got a higher proportion of what was paid. either way, it s…

i think it can be pretty tricky to get real intuition without having the maths around. for example: exactly what assumptions do these methods make about the kinds of noise in the d…

interestingly, with spotify and last.fm, artists get a higher proportion of the total money (15.3% and 15.8%, respectively) than they do with amazon/itunes (14.5%). it's surprising…

where is the neuroscience in what you wrote?

it's a matter of how much you put into the type system: add :: Integer -> Integer -> Integer add x y = x * y in any moderately complicated code, you need to test. types only go so …

that doesn't sound like such a great innovation from an environmental point of view. nor a sustainable use of resources. is it easy to re-use parts from these failed devices?

there is not a normative way to discriminate between those two predictions. it comes down to what kind of loss you incur for making an incorrect prediction. for mean, it's a square…

if it is a power law in the sense that a few companies return a lot, whilst most return a little, how does that make the mean irrelevant? the mean of a power law of this form is mo…

if you're talking about this example: const uint16 max_pressure = 100; enum Switch_position {up, down}; ``Switch_position'' is not the name of a variable, but an enum type.
