What is the best data structure and why is it the skip list?

So is accounting, now go back to /g/ with your shitty trade. And they'll take your statement way too literally and belittle you for suggesting that there is a single, always-best data structure. Because they're Computer Scientists and thus don't have a functioning brain.

Kinetic energy
So if here was a one giant mass and a bunch or little masses and the one giant masses momentum = the momentum of all the smaller masses
Kinetic energy would be greater for all the smaller masses combined than for the one one giant masses kinetic energy. Because momentum is from a direct linear relationship between mass and speed so as you add more mass the speed reduces as by the laws of physics, yet and the kinetic energy reduces since it's measurement is more dependent on speed since it is derived from work equation in which it uses acceleration mass and displacement.
This right?

Im sorry but you fail at physics.
The giant mass is still a constituent of smaller masses. It works both ways. Just sum them up or derive there parts and ull be wherr you started.

The kentucky fried chicken you ate, used energy to cook, which got it from a coal power station, which got its coal from the dead plants, plants needed sunlight to grow and die, sunlight provided by sun as is depletes its reserve of hydrogen. entropy increases in a CLOSED system, ot some tiny section of it

LiFi 100x Faster Than WiFi

A German physicist at the University of Edinburgh, Harald Haas, has found a way to turn LEDs into wireless hotspots which have a verified speed of 1Gbps (224 Gbps in lab settings), 100x the speed of WiFi. A HD film could be downloaded in seconds.
LiFi works by visible light communications. When you pass a current through an LED, the LED emits photons. Varying the current to the LED changes the photon intensity. LEDs are semiconductors, meaning the the photon intensity can be varied extremely quickly, and extremely delicately so that the changes in intensity are imperceptible to the human eye, but can still transmit information in the form of dimmer and brighter light. In this way the lightbulb acts as a wireless router. Haas says any LED will do.
This technology would allow faster speeds, better security and reduced interference.
LiFi has its problems: light cannot go through walls, so every room must have a lightbulb hub, and it cannot be used outside.
http://www.ibtimes.com/what-li-fi-meet-revolutionary-wireless-technology-100-times-faster-wi-fi-2199883
I get how a lightbulb could transmit info to a PC via changing the light in the room, but I don't get how the laptop would send info back to the router unless you stick a lightbulb to it.

Same way a remote control works with a television. You need a LED in the computer to send info back to the hub, and it needs a relatively unimpeded path back.
Alternatively, since most bandwidth is downloads, you could use visible light only to transmit from hub to computer, and the usual radio frequencies to go from computer to hub (or bypass the hub and go directly back to the main router).

If you're only downloading the movies, having a 1Gbps uplink isn't important. Think of a hybrid system with a WiFi uplink, LiFi downlink. (Probably a WiFi downlink too as a secondary.)

How do you guys view the relationship between science and philosophy?
I know that Nietzsche was pretty critical of the scientific method, going so far as to say physics and evolution are just interpretations of the world, (to be fair Nietzsche was critical of objective truth in general)
On the other side theoretical physicist, Richard Feynman's view was that ultimately why questions aren't useful at all in explaining the world, because they imply the presence of purpose or intention, where in fact it's not a given that those things are always true or present.
Which is actually ironically super nihilistic.
anyway what does /sci/ think

Nobody's got any answers. But at least mathematical reasoning defines it's terms. It's what we've got so far. "Philosophers" just have to stop claiming conclusive data and start recognizing that what they've got is a more accessible terminology of description of the history of thought. They're on the cutting edge of nothing. Same with religion. It's perfectly fesable if somebody needs characters and magic to keep their attention and can systematically sift what is allegorical and let their understanding grow. But if you want to go around claiming proofs, that just won't cut it. You need maths, measurements, and less interchangeable terminology.
tldr: The big bang theory is also a miracle but it makes more sense than the bearded child getting all pissy because he sucks at omnipotence.

Well, I assume there are extremely large integers which I can't think of, but still, I can think of more that 1 (one) integer, so the question is not formatted correctly.

Given that IQ tests are discriminating against persons of lower intellectual capacity, they have to be dismissed as pseudo-science.
What other concepts of "intelligence" are there in cognitive science, accounting for the fact that all people are equal and nobody is smarter than anyone else?

So I have an exam tomorrow, 50% of my grade. One of the 4 questions is gonna be a complex numbers problem. Now, my professor has a thing for making an easy thing hard, and the hardest part of the problem is gonna be figuring out sines and cosines of weird angles without a calculator. BUT, not weird in a sin(93.8) way, but more like sin(33/2 * pi) kind of way, multiples of common angles. I cannot find anywhere how do you do those (is it a - or a +), and I forgot if we learned that in high school.
Any trick / tip / video you can tell me to solve this, probably, the most trivial of problems?

How can people say that they were born into the wrong gender when their genetic makeup makes them a male or female? This has always baffled me, and isn't brought up that often. It seems like genetics are totally ignored in the discussion about "being transgender", and that you are the wrong gender if you think you are the wrong gender alone.
I think that the whole reason for the "transgender movement" is the post-modernist ideal that everyone determines their own lives and is what they want to be (which is bullshit much like most of post-modernism, the solution to modernism invented by people who had an invested interest in people thinking they are unique and special). If you have male sex genes, you are a male. If you have female sex genes, you are a female. There is no argument beyond this;it is probable that your estrogen levels or testosterone levels are higher than average and cause you to think that you are the opposite gender, because you think like a female or male sometimes and were convinced by media that if you think you are the opposite gender you are the opposite gender.
