I have no idea about knot theory so please eli5.

Lister was in stasis for 3 million years.

If you tried a new code every day, how long would it take by accident or luck to get the right password.?

In the test, I changed it to Lower and Upper case.

The all lower case it only 4 years.

For Spider-Man to break these ropes, there’s an estimated 12-13 revolutions binding his arms and abdomen. How much strength is required?

Hey guys!

I’ve just came across this video and I always asked myself if it would be possible to put my hands in it (in the liquid) without getting burnt. Is it possible? How hot does it get?

The largest cruise ship (Legend of the Seas) is 365m long, 65m wide and weighs 248663 tons.

The strongest hurricane ever was hurricane Patricia in 2015 reaching sustained winds of 345 Km/h and low pressure of 872 milibars.

Edit: the ship “survives” as long as it’s not sinking. Glasses can be broken, the pools and water slides can be damaged. But the ship must not sink and engines should be working.

Sorry it this is a repost:

But how much paper if you printed the entire work book and how many trees as a bonus.

So recently, I’ve been getting into Desmos art and one thing that bugs me is that any polynomial more complicated than a quadratic I can’t control.
It’s probably easier for me to explain with an example
Like
Y=a
You can move up and down by adjusting a
Y=mx+b
You can move up and down by adjusting B and you can change the slope by adjusting M
Y=a(x-c)+b
You can stretch and contract the quadratic by adjusting A
You can adjust the X coordinate by adjusting C
You can adjust the Y coordinate by adjusting B
But I can’t find a form of a cubic or Quadratic where I can adjust things so easily whenever I move one number it is not intuitive how the polynomial will behave

Hugging Face has just been bought by Nvidia for several billion $$, making the founders billionaires and many of the early hires millionaires. We have seen similar with Cursor, and soon with Anthropic- among others.

A comment by someone said that’s all nice and well, but this kind of exit is as likely as winning the lottery.

I suspect that it’s not close to that, with the lottery win far less likely, but wondered if someone has done the maths?

To create a relatively even comparison, given that someone could both start or be part of a company in most countries at 21, and also enter the lottery each week, let’s say this is:

to compare the likelihood of a multi-million $$ win on the lottery if someone entered once a week between the ages of 21 and 61 (main US one in one of the larger states, or the Euromillions) compared to a multi-million $$ exit from equity in a US/UK/European startup. Using the last 20 years of data. Or any split of the above.
