I thought they made it quite explicit that while P=NP would be huge, it still required someone (the hacker) to put it into action, and less explicit that certainly a bar's computer would be an easier job than, say, the NSA or a computer protected by a security firm.

Well, it's generally accepted that P!=NP with our general method of making iterative algorithms, but it's not known whether, mathematically, there is a better way to solve the problem. I like to believe that some form of chaotic emergent process based on artificial selective evolution might be a better way of solving some of the NP hard problems, but whether it will show that P=NP is really up in the air.

That'd probably be enough for lawyers to invoke the morals clause. Of course, the executive guy would get time for tampering with an investigation, and let's hope HE doesn't mave a morals clause...

I don't know, I can totally see some douchebag wall street rear end in a top hat stuffing a dead guy into a suit if he thought it would get him that $10 million bonus.

But wait, Sherlock found out Joan wasn't his sober companion in the first season after talking to his father!

Pick posted:Mycroft said "spoken directly". I believe Sherlock said "I found out when I spoke to him last week" or something to that effect. I think that implies direct communication of some type. Edit: He also got money from his father in last year's "A giant gun, filled with drugs" ashpanash fucked around with this message at 07:23 on Nov 15, 2013 |

johntfs posted:Maybe Father didn't mention the phone call to Mycroft, so Mycroft didn't know about it. I just checked, and the line is "I found out when I telephoned him last week." So yeah. Either Mycroft doesn't know, or it's a writer screwup.

Jedit posted:That's not exactly a bug. Extras in the background are only there to lend veracity to the scene; it's part of their job not to react to anything the main characters do unless instructed to do so. Meanwhile the main characters have to speak at a certain volume so they can be heard by the audience. It's a convention that was twisted in this instance because JLM is so strident as Holmes. I think he was saying that he's happy to see some sort of realistic consequences for behavior such as talking in full voices about how some guy used to be a felon at his place of work. It wasn't the performances of any background actor in the scene, it was the writers genuinely appreciating that such a display would likely have some fallout.

CuwiKhons posted:As somebody who has been on archaeology digs (admittedly not dinosaur related ones), I just... Well hey, I can point out all the things wrong with what they did with P vs NP, but let's not be pedantic about it. It's still a show structured around a procedural concept and they have to try to pick interesting stories and then embellish upon them beyond reason. That's par for the course. The interesting stuff and most entertaining stuff is rarely in the cases. I think the best way to enjoy the show is to turn your brain off when the case of the week comes on.

I liked the spin on "Why did the chicken cross the road?" "Why is the chicken outside my door?" "To wake you up, of course!"

Rocksicles posted:LL directed the gently caress out of it though. It kind of bugged me that the mobster guy told his henchmen to kill both of them, then they just sat around for a minute and a half. This was the killer guy they previously established had a quick trigger finger to kill his cousin. That whole scene took a lot of the enjoyment of the episode away from me. It felt very, very staged and safe. And I think it's entirely to blame on LL's directing.

I can agree it happens a lot on TV and in movies, and it bugs me every time I see it. I can certainly call her out on it, though. It's not "exactly the same" for every show. Even other directors on this show would have done that scene better. You have to agree it's a valid critique. It's really lazy film making. And it completely ruined my immersion.

Or, you know, just lazy film making. Occam's razor.
