Care to elaborate a bit on those? Or is it the kind of thing that's impolite to discuss?
a^2 - b^2 = a^2 - (-c)^2 = a^2 - c^2 = (a + c)(a - c) = (a + b)(a - b)
Not really. If b > a, then swap them to conclude that b^2 - a^2 = (b + a)(b - a), which is what the visual proof demonstrates.
Your conclusion is equivalent to saying that a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b).
I'm not sure what changed his mind (or if he ever even really did), but he also thought that aside from the native apps that came with the iPhone, everything else should just be a web app.
If so, then it makes so much more sense to me now.
GitHub redirects you to the new name in the event of a rename and you look up the old one.
This reminds me of a blog post [1] I read before. Pertinent quote:
> Unbeknownst to me, even with --dry-run pip will execute arbitrary code found in the package's setup.py. In fact, merely asking pip to download a package can execute arbitrary code (see pip issues 7325 [2] and 1884 [3] for more details)!
Also seen on Twitter [4].

Sure enough, the end of the article indicates [1] as the reference.

It’s not hard to intuit the truth values of the conjectures in the first two questions. I don’t have proofs, though.
No idea about the third one.
> the secret exemption of Alameda from certain aspects of FTX.com’s auto-liquidation protocol
— barring the part where this is secret — this seems like it would make some sense?
Alameda was, by my understanding, meant to be a market maker for the markets that FTX allowed its customers to trade in. You probably don’t want to apply the same auto-liquidation protocol to the market maker as you would regular traders.
Of course, I’m not a finance person, so I’d be happy to be enlightened here.
As a bonus, you can install the Docker CLI (e.g. `brew install --formula docker`) and use that to interact with any containers you start with colima.
This is pretty standard for graduate-level math texts, though. That might say something about their intended audience.
> closed source, walled garden product from a company with business practices I don't like
Such a person probably won't be using Xcode, nor has any plans of publishing to the App Store, so Xcode being closed-source isn't a factor at all here.
That said, I would dispute the claim that China's economic system is distinctly non-neoliberal. In fact, most of the key elements of China's economic reform were about bringing it closer to neoliberalism rather than taking it further away.
It's brought hundreds of millions of people out of poverty [0], drastically increased their life expectancies [1], and significantly improved their chances of making it to adulthood [2].

That way you neither need to install Ninja nor remember to pass `-j` to `make`.
As for how a ballot capturing cardinal methods be reduced to ordinal ones: it depends on the ballot. Can you give an example of a cardinal ballot that does not induce an order or otherwise implies something about a voter’s preferences (assuming they were voting sincerely)?
Cardinal methods induce an order, and once a method creates an order, anything said about ordinal methods applies.
Had py-cryptography done the same thing (i.e. made the same announcement and promises, and followed through on them), I'd think we could say the exact same thing about py-cryptography as above too.
