Just guessing, but it might be a gaffe because it could be skewed to sound like he doesn't believe in democracy. Of course, this makes no sense because Trump has quite literally said that we might not need another election in four years.
A more careful statement might have been, "the electoral college needs to be replaced with a system where every citizen's vote has the same magnitude." If that's not the mathematical ideal of democracy, I don't know what is.
Edit: For you pedantic mathematicians, I'll add that everyone's vote should have the same magnitude, and that magnitude should be greater than zero.
We thought things were bad before the experimental DoD teleporter accident that destroyed the bodies of Trump and Musk. Elonald Trusk and Donlon Mump rose from the ashes. Their greed multiplied. Their lust for power became insatiable, but nothing could trump their carnal, sensual desire for each other's bodies. [Ok, stopping here, I don't like where this is going.]
Two things can be true. Remember the white supremacists he called "very fine people"? The "shithole countries"? Kamala Harris "turned black"? Remember when he claimed Haitian immigrants are eating cats and dogs?
Me: MICHAEL JORDAN... MIKE TYSON... MICHAEL PHELPS?
Announcer: And that's time! You were supposed to be naming baseball players, remember? Technically, you got two out of three, so I'm required to give you this ticket for a free hotdog.
The Orville was actually pretty good. This may be heresy, but it felt more like Star Trek to me than some of the nu-Trek shows coming out. And for the record I can't stand Family Guy.
I wrote my comment not to antagonize you but to point out that you're asking the wrong questions. I failed to articulate that, and I'm sorry for being harsh.
Your prior comment indicated that you have used hash tables in Java, which were very fast. You said that your program accessed the hash tables, but did not "search" the table. These operations are the same thing, which led me to believe you're out of your depth.
This last comment asks me how much this paper's contribution speeds up an average program. You're asking the wrong question, and you seem to be implying the work was useless if it doesn't have an immediate practical impact. This is a theoretical breakthrough far over my head. I scanned the paper, but I'm unsurprised they haven't quantified the real-world impact yet. It's entirely possible that despite finding an asymptotic improvement, the constant factors (elided by the big O analysis) are so large as to be impractical... or maybe not! I think we need to stay tuned.
Again, sorry for being blunt. We all have to start somewhere. My advice is to be mindful of where the edge of your expertise lies and try to err on the side of not devaluing others' work.
