You get oily or porous skin man? I just use salicylic acid when it gets bad, works a treat.

Alongside what Vindris just said, I just want to point out two other things.

1) Is there really a difference between "human person" and "human being"? Is this distinction ever used except when justifying why it is OK to destroy a human being?

2) Viability is vague. You put a zygote out of the womb and it will die near-instantly. You leave a baby out of the womb and it will die after a few days. Neither is really independently viable, yet presumably a baby can't be killed, while a foetus can. The same thing also applies as above; do we ever use this argument of viability in any other situation except when we're trying to justify why it is OK to destroy a human being?

Viability also depends on your ability to provide childcare. Since Roe vs. Wade, the date for viability has been pushed back and back, so this argument would have to admit that foetuses who once could have been aborted, no longer can be. Are you suggesting that the right-to-life is granted by our ability to look after a foetus or person? Why would a 1 week foetus in poverty-stricken South Sudan be less deserving of life than a 1 week foetus in first-world Austria? They're both exactly the same kind of thing.

The movie is a little bit outdated though, esp. during the animated parts.

Dated for sure, but I think the animated bits, are some of the best parts.
Maybe they lack the, FPS, in today's terms, but other than that they are fantastic.
First, a beasts head, then turning into a fist, then a hammer, all just to goose step passed pillared hallways.

I lament that those crucial first ten words aren't in here, but the animation is amazing. IMO




Eh, the datedness takes me out of it a bit though. I love this song though, I wish it were on the album.

The 118-110 scorecard was ridiculous, but the outcome (draw) was good and reflective of the fight. Anyone who thinks this was a robbery, or that it was a blowout for GGG, simply DKSAB.


Doesnt know shit about boxing?

What long winded and vague acronym.


It's a Roger Mayweather thing. He says it a lot.



Floyd does too, occasionally.

I don't understand the NP completeness problem
How is it that no one has proven P to equal NP, or prove it isn't?

And why has no one explained why this is the case. Shouldn't there be some kind of obvious reason why we can't prove it true nor false?

I tried to look up proofs online before and they were all intentionally awful like no one is even taking it seriously.


Because proving it either way is hard lol, this is like asking why nobody has proved the twin prime conjecture or the abc conjecture.

Some pessimists have thought maybe P = NP is independent of ZFC, basically meaning the system of logic in which we conduct (most of) our mathematics is not strong enough to prove it true or false.

Wasn't there some prime factorization that a quantum processor could perform quite fast? Or was that all speculation


Yep, Shor's algorithm, which is faster than any known algorithm on a deterministic machine. But this doesn't necessarily mean quantum computers can do things faster --- it could just as well be that we haven't yet found any algorithms for deterministic computers which are as fast as Shor's algorithm. The suspicion is that quantum computers really can do some things faster than any deterministic computers though.

Again, the confusion is that people think faster = can solve a problem in fewer operations. Which is a reasonable assumption, but that is NOT what faster means in complexity theory

My impression was that people expect quantum computers to be so fast that they can solve big problems by brute force. What do they bring to the table in addition to being Turing machines?


"Fast" is not measured in terms of the number of operations, but by how the number of operations grow with respect to input size n. So even if you had a computer C1 that could do the same stuff as C2, but a million times faster, it would still be in the same complexity class, i.e. 100000000n vs. n. What's relevant is whether it can scale better w.r.t input size e.g. log(n) vs. n

It's currently not known how the quantum complexity classes fit in with the deterministic and non-deterministic complexity classes (e.g. P and NP). It's suspected that P is contained in BQP is contained in NP, because for example we've found fast algorithms for quantum computers that are faster than any found for deterministic computers, but in the general case it's not known. The hype around quantum computers basically comes from a good marketing campaign, and the sexiness of quantum anything.
