> They most likely said

No, they said what I wrote they said. It was at YouTube, from MIT, from a course in quantum mechanics.

Uh, I do understand this stuff: E.g., given a positive integer n, the set of real numbers R, the usual topology for R^n, a set C a subset of R^n closed in that topology, there exists a function

f: R^n --> R

so that for x in R^n, f(x) is 0 for x in C, f(x) > 0 for x not in C, and f infinitely differentiable. E.g., for n = 1, the result applies for set C a Cantor set or a Cantor set of positive measure. For n > 2, the result applies for a sample path of Brownian motion or the Mandelbrot set.

When I was a grad student, I discovered and proved this result. Later I published the result in JOTA.

It's NOT objectively wrong to hurt people on a whim! I concede this very easily. It's not dubious whatever. It might be illegal or make you unhappy, but please let me know why this is objectively wrong. Do you think "wrong" is more than a little human symbol referring to a little human opinion? How does hurting someone violate nature? How is it a problem? Are there invisible arrows that point to "bad" things? Do you actually think pain is a fundamental problem? What's "dubious" is thinking there's such thing as an objective "bad" out there somewhere. Go find it and take a picture. Measure it and please document it for the human scientific enterprise because it would be a fascinating (but very disturbing) discovery! I'm not trying to be mean here - I just want more people to realize this. Our society is brainwashed. Nothing matters whatsoever outside of pure opinion, as far as we know. Wake up, people.

Almost every investment deteriorates when the market does. In terms of stability and long term gains, ETFs are the best bet. You have to be willing to take high risk if you want to invest in things that are not affected by market deterioration, and many people don't have the ability to take that risk. Overall, anyone reading these comments, please take all investing advice as a grain of salt.

I felt horrible when I bought a macbook air 4 years ago. "What have i done, I sold out, I should've bought a lenovo and put linux on it -- which all the hackers do as well."

FFWD to today, I have a quiet laptop. Doesn't flicker on white background when dimmed 30%. Doesn't squeak anywhere. Doesn't wake up randomly. The keyboard is fine. Is easy to open. Fans are not spinning when charging. No coil whine, this shit still happens? Only thing in four years that broke was the battery. Bought a new one for €40.

Thanks for sharing the experience though, seems like I still have to stick to Apple for a while for my mobile computing. Unfortunately it comes with this horrible window manager and dumbed down desktop. That said, the cons list of the XPS15 is more than enough reason to cope with OSX.

Why? You have no guarantee what you're bidding for will remain private, and you don't want to give it legitimacy by bidding. Who's to say if it's real the Equation Group wouldn't bid, under the assumption that it's already out there and you have absolutely no guarantees that anyone you're dealing with would keep their word.
I agree with the influence part. Although, Given tracking of users by Facebook, Twitter (Clicked items, Time spent, browsing & sharing patterns) & Google (Chrome history, Android), I doubt people should act surprised to find such even in current state.

And, given most of the content is curated based on people we follow in our social media feeds, I wonder if it will encourage individual contributors to work on their unique content and help in capturing majority share of a focussed set of readers value rather than being a part of narrative.

> Under who's definition

W. Rudin, Principles of Mathematical Analysis.

W. Fleming, Functions of Several Variables.

For the set of real numbers R, a function

f: R --> R

x in R, d in R, function f is differentiable at x with value d provided for h in R

lim_{h --> 0} (f(x + h) - f(x))/h = d

In this case we write

f'(x) = df(x)/dx = d

In that case, in particular,

lim_{h --> 0} (f(x + h) - f(x)) = 0

so that f is continuous at x.

Differentiation is important in physics, e.g., in Newton's second law.

A start here would be to see if your reading of the AMA resulted in an accurate memory. For example, did I actually claim to have read "20,000+ books"? What did I actually say? No amount of speed is going to help if the recall is so noisy? And, something to ponder, it would have been easy to look to see if what you attributed to me was accurate? Why didn't you? And so forth.

Until such time as those "systematic measures" actually compromise the ability of people to do their job.

Carrying a weapon implies the possibility that it will need to be used at a moment's notice, and it's a hell of a lot quicker to flip a safety off than reload. These measures could wind up with someone dead.

I agree with the GP - if accidental discharges where that much a problem, then the problem is poor firearms discipline, something that can be trained and drilled into people. These are better called NDs (negligent discharges), and they're called "negligent" for a reason: the shooter was doing something horribly wrong.

NDs will get you kicked out of recreational ranges in this country at a minimum. It can also be a ticketable or jailable offense.

Firearms discipline 101 basically breaks down to keeping your finger out of the trigger guard until you intend on shooting something, and possibly the weapon on safe (depending on situation).

Hardly unreasonable or "unachievable" as another put it.

If the guards are incapable of this one simple thing, something that recreational shooters are held to a high standard on, they should be replaced with people who can.

Alternatively, if you like to stay close to the git commands themselves (which is very helpful when helping colleagues), use a git shell such as git sh¹.

After starting the git shell in the terminal (just git sh for the eponymous program) all command are simply the same as in git, only without git in front of them (so add, push, etc.). Aliases work as expected of course, so st for status, and d for diff are possible too.

These type of shells have the added benefit of a status prompt showing the basic git info, such as current branch and number of commits ahead or behind the tracked branch.

If all of the people who don't vote picked a third party candidate, the third party candidate would win in a landslide.

Of course that's not going to happen. But it's inaccurate to think that people not voting don't vote because they have no bearing on the election.
There's a third possibility, superdeterminism, in which literally everything is determined by previous conditions, so that no communication is needed, even via a property outside of our spacetime, because everything was determined by preconditions.

Think of it this way: you set two clocks to the same time. The next day, they both have the same time on them. This isn't because the clocks are communicating via nonlocal hidden variables, it's because their precondition was the same and the sequence of events which followed was deterministic.

""war exist to fund defense contractors"."

You made that up yourself. I said most of our military actions were about pushing politics or capitalism. Which the evidence supports, including many declassified documents. I said military spending in U.S. is excessive, has tons of failed programs, is justified by bribes/votes, and mostly lines pockets of defense contractors and Congress reps. U.S. records give me proof of first two, Congress records have proof of next (i.e. lobbying), and annual reports + track records show proof of last. You're straight-up reciting propaganda of U.S. military connected outfits that contradict results in their own documents. Such contradictions are confusing until you realize they can lie in some places and it's a felony in others. ;)

"oh please, you aren't even responding to my comment or claims."

Sure I am. You implied the U.S. spending is actually about the security of us and NATO. It's provably not. It's a mix of profiteering, waste, and security expenses. Of the security expenses, it's a mix of useless stuff given modern battlefield and stuff that's actually useful which usually costs far less. Your whole spending claim is bogus if it relies on false belief that U.S. military spending is about security. It's partly false if it believes that the small portion spent on security actually improves security. Most is again about jobs (eg votes in key districts), campaign contributions to Congress, military heads getting promoted for appearing to improve something, and so on.

"NATO own studies have shown over and over again that an issue it constantly faced is the uneven spending (as ratio to GPD) of its members"

And since you're belief is false, those that correctly realize most U.S. military spending has no value shouldn't try to support or match that. They should instead just buy what has value in their country spending a tiny fraction on that. Your recent claim supports they are doing this. Smart.

"the reluctance of members to put their troops within joint commands."

Joint commands fighting the wrong people for the wrong reasons with the initiator of the war admitting in declassified documents they funded and created the enemies. Their newest war was projected to create even more. (It did.) That nations are reluctant to support those deployments is again the wise choice. Their citizens or targets shouldn't die for greed or politics.

I would be careful about exposing yourself too much to failure.

People need a healthy dose of success to maintain their self-esteem and confidence and if you expose yourself to failure a bit too often, you might just start to avoid any interactions at all and regress back into the same loop of anxiety over anything.

I wouldn't use my Kindle half as much if it weren't for KOReader [0]. Ironically enough for a dedicated reading device, Amazon's built-in reader app pales in comparison to this third-party tool. The killer feature for me is on-the-fly column splitting and text reflow, with the ability to flip to the original page view by tapping a corner -- this is critical for reading academic papers, which tend to be two-column PDFs. It also features contrast adjustment, more fonts, stylesheets, wireless syncing with Calibre, and support for many more file formats including ePub.

There's also a Gargoyle [1] port for interactive fiction on the go. It's less practical due to the input lag on the Kindle keyboard, but I still pull it out every now and again.

You're describing Phoenix, Arizona there. The city (and most of the surrounding cities, with the exception of downtown Phoenix itself and downtown Tempe) is divided into streets along a 1-mile grid system. The low-density housing is usually located in the interiors of these 1-square-mile blocks, while the corners usually have strip malls with pharmacies, small shops, grocery stores, and sometimes cinemas. (Arcade? Those are extremely rare these days. Usually you'll only see them at a large mall.)

My journey was a little atypical. I rode in college decades ago because the parking situation in my college town was dire. After college the need was gone so I stopped riding. I recently picked it back up for recreation and joined two motorcycle discussion forums BARF (bay area riders forum) for general/local riding info and stromtrooper.com for information about my specific bike. The community is very open and friendly but I don't hang out too much with other riders (my personal preference). I almost always ride alone and I ride for recreation (so I do not commute or use it as transportation). I find its a great way to clear my head because when you ride you have to be "in the moment" and put a hold on all your thoughts and troubles for a few hours. Its therapeutic.

If you want to get started look into the rider training program for your state to get licensed, insured and to buy a bike. Even if you aren't in the SF Bay Area, BARF is a great place to start and get your questions answered. Cost is up to you but you can get into the hobby for less than $5000.

Not really. GitHub aren't liable for the initial upload due to safe harbor laws. If the dump is fake, then there's no problem for GitHub. Life goes on.

If the dump is real then potentially the owner could force GitHub to remove it, but in doing so would have proven the legitimacy of those files, which is something you don't usually want to do.

GitHub may, of course, choose to suspend the account for their own reasons (I don't know, for example, what their T&Cs are for running auctions via their site, but it's probably not allowed).

I think these are good advice. A few additions and complements:

What seemed to work for me:
1. I started reading very early in life, and like early sports and music learning, I think this made a difference.

2. Most recall and understanding is relative to existing knowledge, so the more you have to link up to (and the more you read with linking up in mind) the better.

3. I've found that association (2.) works better than trying to understand everything while reading (the understanding is generally there the next day).
