I remember one graph theory proof in class used Cauchy-Schwarz out of seemingly nowhere. Although, I think graph theory has some of the neatest tricks/ideas. The discharge method is my favorite thing to tell people who have enough math experience to get the gist.

I do enumerative combinatorics.

Graph theory is tough. I could never really pick up the intuition for the proofs. One of my committee members was a graph theorist and he decided to tell me there's a better way to do a proof during my defense.

Oh nice. What research area?

IIRC you've got a math degree?

Proofs are important, but it's also important to get a reasonably accurate intuition, especially for more abstract material. Unfortunately, it's easy for that intuition to get lost/buried in textbooks.

So how much would you pay FortuneCookie to vote for Biden?

So you can't read?

I said I would save the 5 people. You do the simple math.

I'm choosing to save the 5.

Using the TCs trolley example, Switch 1 kills 1 person, Switch 2 kills 5 people. No matter the virtue signalling done to make one's self feel better, regardless people are going to die under the trolley scenario. You aren't a good or better person letting 5 die instead of 1 because you didn't want to choose.

The thing is, the only really awful thing Biden really has done is what every single US president would have done, support Israel.

No, it's been in the works

That actually happened on RI, but close enough.

I get why crypto has value, what Ive never been able to understand is what mining crypto is

I don't get the difference between crypto and NFTs either

Aren't they both essentially worthless?

And crypto uses a TON of energy

Probably not in the top 10000 once you factor in non-chains.

Same. Was kinda shocked anyone felt inclined to close it at all tbh.

What I mean is, if the race has a record, it's weird to me for someone who can break it to run it but as someone keeping pace for a person who hired them to help them break the record instead. Unless I'm misunderstanding and the hired guys didn't run the full race, but the article makes it sound like they did.

Hold the fuck up. DK^6 died!?

I'm asking you why voting is not a waste of time for you when you know that voting third party will not ever result in a chance of your candidate winning. I could somewhat see some logic if you were voting for other candidates for other races on the ballot but you stated you only vote for President. So you are literally wasting your time by voting, because you aren't actually voting for a candidate that has a chance of winning, and you aren't voting for any of the seats.

Can you explain why you find it worth voting in your particular case? Don't say "I want to vote".

I don't know if I'm in the minority here, but I f'n HATE Planeswalkers and I wish they didn't exist

Was it his biopic that had the whole "okay he's releasing info but we need everyone to know he's a smurt guy so have him solving a Rubik's Cube with one hand" or some s***?
