what happened to string theory? back in the day it was memed balls hard and now i hardly ever hear about it

I’m blonde (aryan) and since I have started lifting I have an irrational disgust when I see brown haired people. They look dirty to me and I could vomit when I see their shit colored hair. Is it because I have higher testosterone in my blood, or am I just becoming more based and racist?

> Of course, in later life, Newton wore wigs, all of which were dark brunette, which could mean he wanted to have a wig matching the hair colour of his younger days. But there are other variations, particularly when it comes to books written for children, where they depict Newton with blonde hair. He is even shown with blue eyes in some illustrations, despite all of his paintings showing his eyes to be brown.

Is there any concrete proof that the mRNA covid vaccines don't cause ADE?

>spike proteins the amounts observed in vaccinated patients are miniscule. you have to look for trace measurements smaller than what you'd usually look for, and it's a crapshoot even then whether they'll show up anyways. if they do show up in measurements, they disappear by the time you get a second shot as they get destroyed by your body's natural processes
https://academic.oup.com/cid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/cid/ciab465/6279075 actual "wild" covid spike proteins can cause cell damage, but the form contained in vaccines reacts differently. covid spike proteins change shape to properly fuse to cells and cause damage (
https://science.sciencemag.org/content/367/6483/1260 ), while vaccine spike proteins are mutated to never undergo that transformation. (
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/these-scientists-spent-twelve-years-solving-puzzle-yielded-coronavirus-vaccines )
so tldr, the spike proteins in the vaccine are disabled and unable to fuse with your cells, and your body just destroys them once they've done their job of training your immune system

How does /sci/ deal with floor and ceils in solving recurrence relations via substitution. In the book Introduction to Algorithms by CLRS they say that the floor and ceils are "Usually ignored" and they are in the solutions in the book.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>13561266 You ignore them because most of the time you're looking for asymptotics, and the ceil/floor function doesn't alter the behavior of anything at infinity. I may be wrong though.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>13561266 Dude you literally made a thread earlier about this. The ceil and floor make sense for bounds or parity arguments, but they don't affect your asymptotic analysis since at most you're off by 1, and any nonconstant functions you have in your expression will either grow way past or decay way faster (you'll study o(1) functions for expectation or concentration in random algorithms),
>What are the consequences of factoring in floors and ceils or simply ignoring them? You have to understand *why* they're present but why certain types of algorithm analysis ignore them. They matter when we're trying to specify steps for an algorithm where parity or being in bounds matters, but being at most 1 off of n / 2 for n large changes literally nothing asymptotically

>>13560074 Notice how the sums change slightly when you use floor and ceiling, but if you're careful with your less than or greater than signs, you can stare and see that you get essentially the same answer than if you didn't have them.

I’m not talking about treatment or prevention, but genuine cure that works on all forms of cancer. How long will humans live for? I’ve had an all-consuming fear of ig since last year, so I started researching it; I was horrified to discover that it’s common cause of death for old people (seventies and above).

Unfortunately most funding comes from industry, meaning only the most profitable fraction of all genes are studied.

Is there a way a cryptocurreny could help redistribute wealth? By adding some constraint on how they must be traded. This is obiously impossible, but for instance - suppose you have a country with a million citizens where a single citizen has 50% of the wealth in currency. The rest of the population create a new currency, setting each citizens amount of coins equal to his actual total wealth in common currency, and then the set of all citizens just refuses to accept the old currency as payment for anything. The guy's pile of currency is worth nothing now, the value being redistributed to the new currency. Of course these guys usually hold most of their wealth in stocks, real estate and etc.. but , ignoring this

anyone supporting a proof of stake memecoins as an actual currency or store of value is either a moron, gullible, greedy or evil. no exception.

>>13559410 >The consumers have. How is that different from any other point in history? The consumers ALWAYS have the money; the entire goal of selling a product is to obtain it.
What your goal is will only be obtained by stripping the means of production from those who currently own them, which has given absolutely stellar results in all the cases it's been tried.
Would redistributing wealth help anyone, really? Or would it just result in prices going up?

So refusing 'old currency' and trying a new one has already been tried in every country and failed. You need a new country

>>13559206 > and then the set of all citizens just refuses to accept the old currency as payment for anything the problem with this plan is that people tend to do whatever benefits them, and they will trade in other stuff and store value in other stuff, be it the old currency or whatever
you cannot force people into owning nothing other than a given hypothetical cryptocurrency without severely limiting their actions, which is what typically happens with systems centred on some concept of equitable justice, they end up being hellholes
