That would make you 11th fastest player in the world. The world record is 15:01. https://www.speedrun.com/pop1

Why couldn't you say it now? I had the idea young people are having less sex than the generations before.

Do you have a link to the post about Boole?

IIRC they can't be sold as "milk" inside the EU, they're usually called some variation of "beverage" or "drink". The only product that can be labelled as "milk" has to be produced,…

I didn't know about outline and now I love it, thank you very much.

That link requires to be registered in the site. Would you be able to post another link or just the citation?

I am not by any means an SMW expert but lately I've developed a keen interest on the SMW romhack scene. If what you want to do is extract a level and/or play around with level crea…

I actually believe the intent is the opposite. I think the PR people are just trying to sell Fokas as a polymath genius. "Look, he is not only a mathematician but also an MD, wow!"…

Does anyone have references to books about this topic? I'd be interested in reading about it.

For complex numbers it usually means the modulus of z is larger than zero.

I've seen a lot of them in Spain and I can confirm those are absolutely terrible

Isn't that mostly what happened? US pushing science and education during the Cold War to compete against the USSR?

I'm replying (I hope) just in time to wish you luck with your talk, which seemed to me, as a mathematician, incredibly interesting. Also I'd like to wish you luck with your endeavo…

For other people confused about the meaning of BP in this context, it means Benjamin Pierce Fellow. It appears this talk was given in the context of the Benjamin Pierce Centennial …

Thanks

I don't understand this and I do follow US politics. What mortgage?

You've piqued my interest. Would you mind explaining it in a few words?

Hi, fellow CPM fan here. Just in case your preference for Warsow is solely based on the lack of promode in QL, I'm really glad to tell you that there is promode now in QL, and ther…

Jesus. I really, really, really want to know an example of that. (Philosophical logicians do not score as examples of this).

Gotta love HN :)

As a mathematician I'll be interested in knowing why you ask that question to people with math degrees. What information does that give to you as an interviewer?

Maybe I'm just a sucker for group theory but that strikes me as too trivial for any mathematician. In that same vein, I'd suggest proving that a group G is abelian if and only if (…
