>Other leading theories are non-continuous.

Which theories discretize all variables? I'm well aware people make models all the time, but they usually fail to explain all we observe or are toy models, like 2D TQFT models, not designed to mirror reality, but to fiddle with to see if they extend.

LQG, for example, treats space as quantized at the Plank length, but this has already been disproven experimentally [1,2], forcing LQG to reassess. LQG still has continuous parameters, such as symmetry, and is based on the same continuous math as GR and TQFTs. It's simply trying to discretize (somewhat) spacetime, but it certainly has not yet succeeded at that.

Hogan's holometer experiment [3] also has shown that the scales LQG wanted to discretize spacetime at are incorrect.

So there is at least 2 different experiments invalidating a central piece of LQG. Of course LQG can simply retrench and claim scales are smaller than the Plank length.

There is no experimental evidence pointing to LGQ as reality. It has not even been shown to reproduce GR in the semi-classical limit, so it may end up simply being mathematical fantasy. LQG also has lots of other technical problems that may in the end throw it on the heap of failed theories, of which there have been many. It makes no prediction not already covered under GR.

So, yes, I realize there are people trying to discretize the universe, but so far none of these theories have reproduced what we observe in experiment, and the only theories that have reproduced all we observe in experiment are continuous.

>Any discrete model may be similar to leading continuous models, so the explanatory power of both isn't relevant unless it can only be produced by continuous models.

Which model using only discrete variables can make the same predictions of GR or SM? I cannot think of one, I cannot find one, so it may be that so far the only models that work are continuous.

Heck, even going simpler - what discrete model can reproduce only GR? LQG so far cannot, despite significant effort trying to make it do so. So that surely puts the burden of proof on showing discrete models as equivalent to continuous ones.

So I'm game for something to break current models, because that would be cool. However, nothing has, and no theories is really even close to replacing SM and/or GR.

To block trackers I use Brave on my phone and Chrome + uBlock Origin on desktop.

I just checked this extensions and seems that they put a lot of attention on UX, I loved it and is all in one product, I like the vision of DDG.

Someone knows if the blocking part is as good as uBlock and Brave?

They're also completely different questions in the sense of what you mean when you say "this result is correct."

The ball velocity is really a simplified model that gives you a correspondence truth (you verify by running the experiment and taking a measurement.) The exidtence proof gives you a coherence truth, i.e. there are no unknown factors and ur statement is absolutely true.

Just giving terminology to your intuition: coherence truth vs correspondence truth.
Cryptocurrencies have prompted central trusted parties which have done everything we don't like banks doing times ten. If cryptocurrencies take over, which is a big if, we'll probably see the same people forming similar institutions with similar behaviors and similar regulators. This isn't because of some unseen conspiracy. It's because banks do the banks things they do because they're incentivized to do them. Those same incentives apply to cryptocurrency exchanges, wallet services, payment processors, et cetera.

The truth is that innovators from all over the world come to the USA to follow their dream -- be it in technology, fashion, media. I live in NYC and meet a number of people from all over the world that want to work in the exciting environment of NYC. Russian ballet dancers come to NYC. French fashion designers come to NYC. Israeli and other tech innovators come to NYC or go to SV.

So many young innovators from all over the world come to NYC, SV, Boston, and a few other places, that we may risk a "brain drain" from developed and low-income countries alike.

Yes, although I'm not sure (and can't find god info on) whether they started from a similar lineage, or even if they just happen to just share some similarities that Mozilla's doesn't. If SquirrelFish (which became Nitro) happened to start with a similar architectural base, that could predispose them to make similar choices over time (e.g. if arrays are extremely efficient because the underlying types are well implemented, that could have survived and influenced later decisions. Array performance regressions might be seen as bugs that stop progress, and would possible cut of possible avenues of advancement).

There's a decade of history in these engines with a lot of man hours put into them, and they were actively competing with each other very loudly for a while. There's little you could tell me I couldn't find some possible narrative justification for if I consider the PR, bureaucracy, talent and design decisions that might stem from those over a decade.

1. You can make Runner to not create cache containers with Advanced Settings and `disable_cache` option,
2. As for Git Repo, you can force Runner to retry cloning,

There are two general sources of depression: environmental and biochemical. The parent acknowledged that:

Hollywood boomed when money, people and infrastructure was directed to it. It was a conscious decision made by the elites. There are tons of regulation in hollywood. It's still booming. Using your logic, hollywood should be a ghost town. Ironically, your example proves you wrong.

"lots" would need to be quantified. Mentally scanning the garage at work, I do not think I saw one American car (France, very large company).

Now that's one convoluted podcast. Starting at conflating stonemasonry with Freemasonry (Morgan was a bricklayer by the way, which is related but not equivalent to being a stonemason), segueing into conspiracy theories and finishing off at the supposed foundations of libertarianism in the US.

While for lack of reliable accounts much of what happened around William Morgan's death probably will remain uncertain William Morgan himself seems to have been a somewhat dubious character of questionable repute: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Morgan_(anti-Mason)

What becomes clear from both the podcast episode and the Wikipedia article though is that much of the anti-masonic sentiment around that time was rooted in religious and political ideas that weren't exactly egalitarian but whose originators rather worried about their own position in the new society that developed in 19th century USA.

I think this thread started out with someone saying that crypto-currencies aren't very useful as currency, but as assets (like a gold bar) instead. And then it was argued that they're not very good as assets either.

That's a really interesting comment. I had taken it a little differently.

It feels to me that our minds have been atrophied by generations of being told that we can't do anything. Forget budgeting a small business, we can't even budget for our own family. Someone else, be it the government or our employer, has to provide some universal solution to all my problems like saving for retirement or being able to buy an antibiotic for my kid. So someone presents a solution, and rather than being able to take that, adjust it to our individual needs, our psyche is so weak that we just sit back and try to figure out all the ways we can avoid taking agency in our own lives, we need big brother to solve it for us.

Ultimately it's perhaps the same thing though. In your scenario people want to pick apart the solution so they can return back to deciding that their employer or the government has to provide a solution for them.
Tesla DUI driver to court: “The car was driving”
Then we would just have a bunch of mathematicians wondering what some of the function names meant, since English isn't always definitive of obvious in definition (not to mention the non-English speakers who have to learn a combination of symbols instead of one).

All you're really doing is substituting something you're unfamiliar (or less familiar) with, common mathematics symbols, with something you specifically happen to be more familiar with (programming pseudocode).

It's really no different than someone looking at your pseudocode and saying "why can't they just write it in plain English?"

My site is a personal site, doesn't have logins, and doesn't even have any Javascript, so I think the "B" is a little misleading.

(Side note: Amusingly, if you go to https://tosdr.org with the plugin installed, they also fail for apparently not having a privacy policy listed on their own site. Also it says in a very large font that their ratings are outdated, so I really don't know how useful this is.)

I certainly don't want you riding a car into a crowded downtown. I personally walked to work in downtown Seattle (to Amazon, ironically). I'd vote for any local candidate who pushed for an aggressive pedestrian-only zone in the city with a strategy for expanding mass transit access and park and rides. The technology for affordable mass transit is almost a century old; I think incremental, sustainable progress on that technology is better than anything the Tesla has to offer. Wide-spread single-user cars are one of the worst things to happen to this country.

And homelessness can, in fact, be reasonably construed as Amazon's problem (or a problem caused by Amazon if we're a city thinking of letting Amazon in). The exacerbation of homelessness is an externality caused in part by Amazon's concentration of high-wage jobs in a small city and the subsequent skyrocketing of property values combined with mindless gentrification. So it's both a cause for concern when courting Amazon, and it's a form of pollution that they bring to town that it is not a priori unreasonable to hold them accountable for (to the extent that they are responsible for it).

> Please unpack this statement. Which part of the Bitcoin system is functioning incorrectly?

The payment system part. One of the main reasons why Satoshi created Bitcoin in the first place. As someone who got into Bitcoin in early 2011 (but left when things got crazy around 2014), it's utterly laughable to me that Bitcoin now can't even be used as a payment system. And that the fees per transaction are roughly the same as international wire transfer fees.

The Bitcoin dev team well and good shot itself in the foot by refusing the raise the block size limit. The only good thing to come out of Bitcoin recently is the Bitcoin Cash fork, who showed that the sky doesn't fall when you raise the limit to a reasonable size, and that this does take care of the current scaling and fees issues (Bitcoin Cash transfers are both reasonably quick and affordable, like Bitcoin of old).
Your opinion here goes beyond "caveat emptor" right to "vae victus". Although you seem to support the idea of cities bargaining with Amazon here, your statements make a good argument for cities to decline.

The median full-time wage in the US is 70% higher than the EU median full-time wage.

The high US inequality is a result of the spectacularly extreme outcomes that come from simultaneously having a very large integrated economy & population base, extremely high economic output, and extreme national wealth.

If you integrated large parts Europe, you'd see a similar extreme inequality between eg the top end of Norway or Sweden, and the bottom of Bulgaria or Moldova. Or othewise the top end of wealth outcomes, such as Amancio Ortega or Bernard Arnault, versus the bottom end of wealth outcomes in Croatia. Except the US bottom is dramatically above the bottom of Europe.

That doesn't mean they will be as fast or cheap (or decentralized) when the network size is as big.
I am almost perfectly certain that they're not doing this because I was referring to all of the organizations, and individuals, that are not as big as Amazon.

I'm claiming your argument is suspicious because it seems to only really apply to organizations of Amazon's size. Maybe you disagree, but it sure doesn't seem like any cities or towns are interested in luring an Amazons worth of businesses and tax-payers that aren't a single organization. The argument seems pretty agnostic; why is no one else?
