Its actually pretty hard for even humans to eyeball a graph and figure it out. For example, the wiki article on the peterson graph (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petersen_graph) has a few drawings that you cant easily say are the same graph.
Not really a good rebuttal. The only reason for not getting our DNA is depending on criminals having repeat offenses?

Yeah they do nothing to even hint at possible correlation without causation

I would think adding more salt would only worsen the problem. Adding soluble salts are used to precipitate other salts (e.g common ion effect). Not sure how valid that is here tho.

Yes the Russians do it, but I remember the US doing the same thing multiple times. I guess no country wants their citizens to be tried elsewhere.

Would alternative control by the private sector be better? There are tons of cases where private control of public services has been bad for the people (jails, schools etc).

Idk why you're being downvoted when you're right. I guess people are incorrectly thinking you support this behaviour instead of simply stating how it is capitalist.
Yeah was at least hoping for an equation solver e.g. find radius given area

I think op's problem is different than the one normally studied - he wants to design a halting program and find the class of programs for which it works.

This is typically not very popular as these statements depend a lot on the program, and the representations of programs unlike the halting problem computability statement.

Re:Why I Don't Love Gödel, Escher, Bach on Thursday July 05, 2018 @12:20PM (#17464476)
Turing machines output yes/no or indefinitely go on, so that might be like your possible outputs of halts/doesn't halt/don't know. I'm not really sure how much to assume you know, so the [wiki page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem) might help
Re:Unexpected hanging paradox on Saturday June 30, 2018 @11:16PM (#17433892)
The main issue is the definition of surprise for perfectly rational entities. Your argument doesn't really add much as you can just fix that time of day when all executions occur, and you've just restated the paradox.
I saw the site on page 3 after googling for "polygraph"

Although searching for "the lie behind the lie detector" gives the first result as the correct one from anitpolygraph.

Is it possible google didn't really do anything shady?

Using blazing fast JavaScript deep learning techniques of course.

You are right, but Tesla itself pushes Musk as the face of the company.
Re:Twitter ‘smytes’ customers on Friday June 22, 2018 @09:47AM (#17373911)
Seems like it is, considering its a twitter replacement and the op is kinda anti-twitter
TIL, thanks
Re:GitLab Isn’t Really Open-Source on Tuesday June 05, 2018 @10:24AM (#17237863)
They had a 5 person contributor limit for free repos which REALLY pissed me off.

Whoa, those are some pretty big features I assumed were "core".Static pages, fast-forward merges, Git hooks - aren't these core reasons to use a git website instead of just git+remote
Yeah, that article was all over the place. The only thing I could get from a first reading was that Facebook did something wrong - just using the anti-facebook sentiment I guess
Our "original" definition of seconds was in term of our earth's rotation so it is exactly OPs number. We just changed our definition to a more constant second that slightly varies from our old definition.
