<p>So fun fact, if you compile<p><pre><code>  int sum(int n) {
      int sum = 0;
      for(int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
          sum +=i;
      }
      return sum;
  }
</code></pre>
clang, with -O2, will turn this into the polynomial (n+1)*n//2. It can also do similar transformations for multiple loops.<p><a href="https://godbolt.org/z/so6neac33" rel="nofollow">https://godbolt.org/z/so6neac33</a><p>So if you do a brute force solution which could have been reduced to a polyomial, clang has a shot of doing just that.</p>

<p>I don't get it. The article's title is that the ranchers have become allies to jaguars and pumas.<p>But nothing in the article supports that view. What has changed are cattle ranching practices that reduce the opportunity of attack. Everything that the article talks about is "How did cattle ranchers adapt to an ever present threat of pumas and jaguars without killing them (for reasons that are not well discussed beyond a reference to a government mandate)" rather then "We're best buds now!" or even "We have found utility in the jaguar and puma population that benefits us".<p>It seems the adapted practices are beneficial on their own, but it sounds like they would be beneficial without jaguars and pumas.</p>

<p>I mean, if you want to argue it's a Non Profit, not a business, go ahead, but I'm not particularly interested in fitting modern tax code and business rules to an entity that has existed for 1500 years.<p>The organization has existed and has had a need to find funding for it's activities. Since the question was about 'state' run entities, the goal of "making a profit" seemed not particular salient.<p>Honestly, I thought the more contentious part of this claim was going to be if the Church of Sinai constituted a state.</p>
