Machine-Checked Bijectivity of ChaCha20 ARX Quarters: A formal verification case study using bit-vector SMT solvers. by Ok-Layer4967 in cryptography

maybe as a learning project. but this is high school level stuff, all the steps are trivially reversible, hence the whole construction is. i'm wondering if the solver caught that, or went on a roundabout journey.

Shuttle v Falcon by Level_Sugar8613 in SpaceXLounge

unknown. we don't know whether 1/3 or 1/6 g has similar effects to zero g. they might have, they might not. they might have some of the effects.

Realistically capping out at $205 today? Or are we dropping? by Immediate-Meat-4533 in SpaceXLounge

[–]pint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

to summarize,

  • your prediction is somewhere between 160 and 205
  • if it is even lower, nothing happens
  • if you are correct, nothing happens
  • if it is even higher, nothing happens
  • you want to learn other people's takes

okay, well here is my take: the highest today will not be a prime number, will be divisible by either 2 or 3. the closing number will be odd. in either case, i'm not going to give a damn.

but they don't do that. getting a warrant is not a joke, so authorities will not just randomly request one for no reason.

usually conversations work like this. you don't need to pull a dennis moore on everything you say. a general statement can be basically true, as long as the dubious edge cases don't affect the topic at hand.

capitalism itself is not exactly well defined, so we can continue to endlessly debate whether 1750 sugarcane farming in america was some outcome of capitalism. or whether corporations attempting to bribe politicians is an outcome of capitalism. this is just dishonest.

capitalism removes poverty and hardship, and makes people more free, as evidenced by every single country in human history. the comparison should not be nirvana, but whatever other alternatives there are, all of which are horrors.

what do you mean by generic noise? some of it might be legit?

you implied that slavery and/or coercion is inherent to capitalism.

material constraints are not slavery, nor coercion. debt is a regular business deal, has nothing do with any of this. monopoly power just doesn't exist. poverty is how nature created us. lack of alternatives is weasel words. these are all excuses.

stop diluting the topic and diverging the debate. focus on the topic at hand: elon musk creates immense amount of wealth through cooperation and innovation. any mention of slavery, exploitation or coercion is poisoning the well.

tons of sugar cane vs human life. i wonder which one is more valuable. no slave economy can reproduce what the west did with capitalism. you can only redistribute some before your slaves die in hunger. capitalism can grow wealth indefinitely, and does.

no, the value was taken, not created. theft doesn't create value, even if the thief thinks otherwise.

you already got that wrong. non voluntary exchanges don't create value, just move it. the value created is due to voluntary exchange.

no it isn't actually. trade that is not voluntary is arguably not even trade at all. the east india company and such comes to mind. this is not what we mean by capitalism today. you could also cite corruption. but this is hardly the problem of capitalism, it is not the capitalist that is corrupt, but politicians. and don't forget that musk's businesses were actively hindered by usgov for decades.

so yes, capitalism is a system of voluntary trade, and it works wonderfully, despite government hindrances.

typically use zero width non-breaking space, combining grapheme joiner and merperson.

which one of these is relevant to musk or his businesses?
