Later we learn that mass is determined by energy and momentum, both of which are conserved, so mass must be conserved too.

Not in a meaningful sense - the square of the total momentum 4-vector is of course conserved (and even frame-invariant), but it's not equal to the sum of the masses of the constituents:

M² = (E₁ + E₂)² - (p₁ + p₂)²
= E₁² - p₁² + E₂² - p₂² + 2E₁E₂ - 2p₁p₂
= m₁² + m₂² + 2(E₁E₂ - p₁p₂)

Totally agree - the essays/papers/artist ephemera in most of these books are impossible to find and rarely reprinted. I've always found it strange that looking at art is pretty common but reading/talking about art in a critical way is seen as too academic/inaccessible for most people. I hope that by putting this stuff into the public domain more people get excited about Art History - it's a super interesting field that has a lot to offer and learning how to do visual analysis is pretty useful in a ton of different fields.
Disclaimer: I work at Backblaze.

> absolutely no meta data is backed up

> There's a lot of metadata on MacOS files

To be perfectly clear, Backblaze backs up and restores TYPE and CREATOR metadata (on the Macintosh), and restores the file creation date and the file last modified date. Backblaze does not backup anything else, for example, what color you chose for your icons in the Finder, and Backblaze does not restore the file and folder permissions.

This works for most customers, but some customers won't be happy with it. We just want to be clear what we do and what we don't do.

The concept of "file creation date" and "file last modified" are fairly universal, and can be restored "across platform". What that means is if you backup on Macintosh you can restore to Windows and vice versa. If you restore a Macintosh TYPE and CREATOR to Windows it will lose that data since Windows (NTFS) does not have that concept.

Windows has the most sophisticated (complicated) set of ACL (Access Control Lists) that anybody has ever seen, and frankly I've never met anybody who could fully explain why Microsoft went crazy on these (and Microsoft. Backblaze does NOT backup the ACLs on Windows. But NTFS and Microsoft ACLs will simply never survive the test of time. In 30 years your iOS phone or Android tablet will never be able to understand what occurred and why "joe" had permissions as "System" while "jane" only had permissions as "Administrator" on a photo of a puppy even though those logins are long gone.

Most people who are worried about backing these sorts of things up should look into "Drive Cloning" software, which is different than "backup against catastrophic long term photo loss". On Macintosh you can look into "Carbon Copy Cloner". Not sure what to use for Windows?
That waste exists elsewhere matters not. There is no good or bad waste, waste is a pejorative term on its own. Ones with the power to should attempt to stamp it out when able (i.e. when said stamping costs don't outweigh the benefits).
If you choose to have children then your career is raising children. You have to choose to prioritize one or the other, the idea that you can take large amounts of time off and still be at the same level as people who kept working is insane. There isn't any injustice going on here. Juggling an intense career path with raising children is a bad idea. Sending children to day care for large amounts of their youth has been shown to be highly detrimental to their development.
The point of having to ~"force fathers to take time off" rings true to me, I'd even go as far as forcing both parents to take some minimum time (and maybe of equal length) off: It would relieve all parents of the pressure to justify why they "put family before career".

I'm confused. What's the point of `_conflicts` property if conflicts are automatically merged?

The linked project README, and even the CRDT Wikipedia page, seem to claim that conflicts are avoided, whereas, at least in my mind, these are more like strategies to automatically privilege one version in the event of a conflict.
The state is violence.
Generally speaking, equality of choice between the sexes is unequivocally a good thing...but we're going to spend years untangling the muddy notion in many people's minds that equality of outcome is expected when there is perfect equality of opportunity.

What actually happens in the Scandinavian countries, where both sexes have the highest levels of equality of opportunity, education, and choice in the world...is that that gender effects are actually maximized. Men tend to choose STEM careers and competitive paths because they are free to choose, and women tend to choose to become doctors, nurses, and part-time workers of any kind, because they are also free to choose.

Another way to say this is, there will always be Gender Inequality because the (biological) genders are not equal to each other. A woman does not equal a man, and she shouldn't. But try saying that at a dinner party...

I often joke that I'm not responsible enough to own a dog, or that if I was I'd just have kids. I can leave extra food for the cats and they handle themselves for up to 5 days. If it's more than that, we find someone to check in on them. The fix is not to socialize my 'problem' by finding a way to scam on medical needs and gamble that nobody will challenge my 'medical condition'.
I don't speak Dutch and Google translate doesn't work for that page for some reason, but I strongly believe you're comparing apples to oranges. What's the terms to get a 1.8% mortgage? How much loan to value (down payment) is required and how long is the loan term? Fixed or variable rate? What is the maximum debt to income ratio? Income requirements? Is that APR or APY?

I believe, again I don't speak Dutch, the longest loan term on that page is 10 years. If that's the case, then you'd have to compare it to a 10 year mortgage in the US, not a 30 year like you did.

Edit: I was holding my phone in a way I couldn't see the whole table. It appears to me that a 30 year mortgage with less than a 15% down payment is 4.40%.
No, not really. I think it’s similar to NPS. It’s visible to the store clerks to allow them to correct their mistakes on the spot, instead of having to involve corporate teams. It’s the same idea as the one behind short development cycles. It gets you faster to the goal. And the ultimate goal for the company is to provide good service and not to have another way to evaluate employees.
Yes. Will you hire a sales force to knock door on every store chain in the US to sell them on the idea? This isn’t about technical abilities.
Controlling a PI-Robot using Kitura
I don't think that would work, at all. Mulvaney's justification for requesting zero funds was that the agency already had enough funds to more than cover that quarter's spending, the law required him to request "the amount determined by the Director to be reasonably necessary to carry out the authorities of the Bureau under Federal consumer financial law, taking into account such other sums made available to the Bureau from the preceding year (or quarter of such year)", and since he couldn't find any statutory or practical justification for maintaining such a large reserve that amount was zero. It'd probably be rather difficult to come up with any kind of take-care case against someone for seemingly following the law to the letter.
Almost nothing these companies are bragging they will do in the future is stuff that phone apps cannot or will not replicate.

For example, they think that they can scrape data about traffic from thousands or millions of connected cars. Yay! But Apple and Google can scrape location data from millions of devices, and you don't have to own a car to give them useful data, they can scrape traffic flow from people riding on buses or in other people's cars.

Obviously, there are privacy and permissions issues, but on the whole I would say that the only thing propping up companies developing in-car navigation is that they help car companies make money. There is close to zero actual customer benefit. And that sounds an awful lot to me like exactly the kind of market that technology has been successfully disrupting for decades: Old-line businesses built on business models that are customer-hostile, but survived because there was no effective way to compete in a closed industry.

Car Navigation Systems Arrogantly Charge Forward Against Products That Are A Decade Ahead of Them.

You know what's great about have maps on my phone? I can get out of my car and walk and still have my route mapped in. Don't even get me started about the amount of features in Google Maps vs. in-car nav.

That being said; When I'm in the car driving, using the navigation package is much more seamless than doing it on the phone. My Mercedes is all voice controlled and works very well. Press button on steering wheel -> say "Enter destination" -> say "123 main st city ville" -> Route mapped. There's a few more steps to do this on mobile, so I prefer to use the car's navigation system.

A proper solution would be let me route voice control to my phone somehow; turn the car interface into a peripheral for my phone.
Just yesterday someone was telling me about using diffraction for imaging. He also mentioned the work of Laura Waller, who apparently is able to get 3D images of a scene by putting translucent-but-not-transparent tape directly over the lens-free sensor.

Babies are even more disruptive, from my experience. If people hate traveling with dogs or babies enough, they could pay for a more private form of transport. It’s not worth the price to me.

I could be mistaken here but I don't believe the price of gold (relative to USD) has ever halved. Ever.

Now the gold price has, historically, been more stable than USD so there have been times when USD deflated so fast that the relative value of gold dropped by more than half over periods of a few years. But there were very few of these and this is not what's been happening with Bitcoin.

So, if you were comparing Bitcoin to gold as a store of value, you're not even vaguely close.
That still wouldn't make sense, since the exact same set-up was common in the Eastern Roman Empire, which had been thoroughly Christian for almost half a millennium by that point in time.

Honestly, it sounds a bit like a just-so story. Wikipedia indicates at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_orientem indicates that pre-Christian sects like the Essenes practised it, and that Origen (second & third centuries) & Clement of Alexandria (second century) both mention it.
>> Human psychology is much like software save for one very important distinction: you cannot read the code. As such, trial and error remains the best strategy.

And there are many models of what may be wrong. You can often fit a model onto your situation, but it helps most when you find the "right one" for you and deal with it appropriately. The software bug in the brain can look like a number of things, but they are not all correct. Trial and error is correct here.
Do you mute the announcers? They're the ones constructing the narrative. And of course, the replays and camera angles are a huge part of the production too.

Apparently the other commenter is right, I should've used some kind of sarcasm mark.

As America becomes increasingly polarized and driven towards echo chambers, political violence continues to emerge across the political spectrum. For instance the recent attempt of an individual randomly murder congressmen after verifying they were republicans [1], or perhaps the mass murder of police officers in Dallas by an individual at a BLM associated rally [2]. Both had strong links to various political organizations. Using anecdotal evidence you can condemn most of anything.

In my opinion Cloudflare should not be in the business of making judgement calls one way or the other. The law exists for a reason and, as in this case, when a group is seen as acting outside the law, Cloudflare can be directed to terminate access. They need not preemptively act as judge, jury, and executioner themselves. Another issue is that when you start refusing to accept some group or another, it leads to an implicit endorsement of all the other groups. You can certainly find all sorts of completely abhorrent sites that utilize Cloudflare. A social campaign showing this sites while emphasizing that Cloudflare can, and does, refuse service to sites for what might be perceived as 'lesser crimes' would leave them in a difficult to handle situation. And this will happen. By contrast, not all that long ago they could have simply and eloquently responded, "We do not judge content."

They are not.

While I agree with the sentiment that recorded music has been devalued to all hell, implying that an artist racking up 4M Spotify streams every month is living off of $1160 a month is a bit disingenuous.

If you're pulling those numbers, and know what you're doing, you will almost always have opportunities to make (much) more money doing shows and placements.

Additionally: while the distribution of musical success was and still is bimodal, thanks to the fragmentation of culture caused by the Internet there is a growing middle creative class.
