I'm also loving their phrase "on a nonlinear battlefield" ... not sure what a linear battlefield would be

I lived in Germany for seven years and by the end I was fluent. B1 is a very low bar to pass, I know because I've done it. Sorry to say, but the rule is fair. If you want to be a p…

I had a flipped classroom for my topology lecture. It was one of my absolute favorites. We had no lectures, the teacher just gave us a short, concise textbook to read a chapter of …

I say this with the best of intentions: that cynicism of yours will keep you lonely

Very interesting article. This makes me wonder: Would it be possible to implement an equivalent to Shor's algorithm on a p-computer. Maybe the quantumness isn't necessary at all

I think there is some room for debate here about the political bias of wikipedia, and there is some evidence to suggest a left wing bias. However this article is pretty venomous an…

you're not, the proof is a famous error known as zenos paradox. Its only an apparent paradox, and indeed it's been disproven by observing that things do in fact move

very clear and detailed answer. thankyou very much

To their credit, the paper is unexpectedly fun. I'm not understanding the "separation power" thing, what does that imply?

If chat control gets passed it will also be a law, passed by legislation. The point is that laws can be unjust.

May or may not be true but it's completely unrelated to tech, science or startups. This should be moderated

Small piece of product feeback related to grammar: The landing page asks, how are you feeling? For which the possible responses are "Anxiety", "Procrastination" ... "Overwhelm". Wh…

My Qualifications: I moved to Germany for 7 years I can only add my voice to what others have said: Just apply to universities and get your student visa. In general it is very diff…

The link between DEI and the rest of the content of the article is not well-articulated at all. Leaving aside whether one agrees with the premise, his argumentation is disjointed a…

Okay we are are getting a little lost in definitions here, but nonetheless. You can solve the above by remembering that the dirac delta is the limit of a series of functions. If yo…

I don't disagree with what you've said about distributions, however I don't think that the fact that these shells are created from dirac delta functions is sufficient to call them …

Also, strictly speaking these aren't topological defects. They are massless spherical shells, i.e. a sphere embedded in 3d space and thus can be continuously deformed to a point by…

Agreed. This paper is pretty much pointless. Its extremely implausible, putting it generously, that such fine-tuned structures could even form. They mention at the end "this paper …

Good article, doesn't belong on hackernews.

I tried some of the positions in this article while trying to get used to sleeping on the floor in an attempt to fix my back pain. These hurt like hell

I live here as a nomad. Job market is pretty bad. Haven't seen any official statistics but I've heard many locals anecdotally say that the pay even for people with econ / engineeri…
