The only example you cite is completely off-base. The media first reported on “no-go” zones in Paris, then in Sweden, and later in other European countries. These were reported as places where Muslim immigrants or refugees took over, declared Sharia law, attacked police for entering and were so dangerous that police refused to enter.

I personally visited many of these “no-go” zones in France and Sweden specifically called out in some of these reports over the past few years out of curiosity, and found the reporting to be utter bullshit. These neighborhoods ranged from completely normal, peaceful places with a mix of native and immigrant people, to places with crime but nothing more than you’d find on an average “rough” street in the US. The violence that people reported was drug-related, just as it is in most places in the world where so much crime occurs. I saw normal police drive around on a regular basis, just as they would anywhere else. There was no evidence of “sharia law taking over” or any similar garbage. My personal conclusion is that right-wing media took a common occurrence: instances of drug-related crime, and spun a racist storybook narrative around it blaming refugees and immigration.

I obviously didn’t see everything so some could have been worse, but I know enough to understand the false agenda behind this reporting.

I don’t doubt that there are places where police are hesitant to go due to high crime and violence (Camden, NJ anyone?) but those exist everywhere and can be reported on without the false narrative backing it. Merkel acknowledging that there are such high-crime areas doesn’t mean that she acknowledges the racist fairytales that go with them or that the public was misled by the lack of confirming the (false) right-wing media reports about them.

I tried to understand Roger Penrose's arguments about this in his book "Cycles of Time". I admit that I really struggled! But the idea seems to be that the initial state of the universe is very unusual compared with the rest of eternity and is essentially 1 vs nothing - and then differentiation instantaneously occurs through some physical process and immediately the universe can only be described in a complex way. The universe moved from undifferentiated high energy to and extremely complex high energy and then falls down from there back to flat.

One point that seems not to feature in these debates is that this is all (physics) fundamentally subject to the constraints of language (maths) and cognition (human), we choose to describe things in a way that appears useful to us, but these judgements and perceptions are filtered by how we understand things. We are squashy and small and it is quite silly to imagine we really are thinking about these processes in an objectively meaningful way.
That a misconfigured Singaporian banking site is the worst example in the world anyone can come up with is perfect evidence that the apoplectic reactions are unwarranted, like so many over the history of changes like this in our industry. And my comments are restricted to the "www" prefix.

> How will they know the floor wasn't accidentally omitted instead?

This is nonsensical. This www change does not hide subdomains that meaningfully differentiate among "floors". It only concerns the entirely redundant "www" ("'1st floor' for a one story building"). Accidental omission of "www" a total non-issue... in the real world, where we live.

I think your description is misleading when you start talking about no-go zones refering to a statement[0] from Angela Merkel without mentioning by which group this is supposed to be created by and then go on to talk about refugees, which suggests that they created it, when in fact those no go zones are upheld by racist violent right wingers who just attack about anyone who looks non white and foreign. I am living in Germany near those areas so I can differentiate fact from fiction.

I have one specific question. When you write in your diagrams, what brush settings do you use? Are you using calligraphy mode?

The handwriting in your diagrams has a unique look and feel that I was hoping to emulate.

For example: https://i.imgur.com/8Bb1wEY.png

That question mark is beautiful, and the thickness varies in a particular way that is quite unlike regular handwriting. It's more like chalk on a chalkboard. That's why I was hoping to know the exact settings.

Parent comment was talking more about practicing the softer, more social questions rather than hard skills and problem solving questions.
Removing the human factor from this, we are creating non-self sustaining environments at the cost of delta's which are sustainable, and play a vital role in survival in their regions.

I assure you, if there are people living upstream of a delta in places that can't sustain life, there are people living in that delta region, who rely on it just as much.

this isn't solving a problem, it's at best moving them, and at worst creating additional problems.

Instead of attempting to make every region on the planet farm land, we should focus on solutions that take into account a balanced ecosystem, and where that can't be achieved, relocation the human population.

Seems like this has some good security features, but with the move towards universal Https connecting to an unsecured WiFi network no longer carries the same level of risk it once did (other than exposing LAN shared resources). As good as prefect forward secrecy is, anything sensitive should already be being encrypted by the client (router passwords notwithstanding until that problem is solved).

I'd rather move towards a world where you don't need a password to access a WiFi network and people share their internet access freely. This would improve not only access to the internet, but also increase privacy because you wouldn't be able to rely on an IP address indicating someone's identity.
Well said, agreed. Your point is completely rational and it’s not at all controversial in any way. However, the thought police has made it so and you can bet someone will cry “racist” to drown you out at this completely obvious point.

It’s becsuse we as a society have ingrained it that even thinking this makes you a racist and our response is to immediately shut it down. I actually think that’s a very very good thing. 20th century nationalism was atrocious and all our institutions have greatly succeeded in reigning in that threat and each generation proves more empathetic than the last.

That being said, Europe clearly went wayyyy too far. Completely bonkers. The YouTube videos in 2015 were the only real source of info I had. Previously my opinion was completely made by bbc articles about poor Syrian Children. World media covered stories were completely misleading as I saw the truth on the YouTube videos. I’m not talking cherry picked random crimes either. I used to think Fox News was the crazy right wing media and everything else, especially the BBC, was high quality I’m ashamed to admit. I’m curious if my mistrust of the news of the refugee crisis was mimicked by the vocal minority who thereafter supported Trump or other extremes. The lack of faith in media has been present for a while but sharply increased with Trump and possibly preceded him with this refugee crisis. During the election, the right wing media couldn’t really hate on many foreigners in America because not many were committing crimes but they got their base all riled up with tribalism hate by covering Sweden and Germany.

Anyways, this same phenomenon is all over the place. “I support Syrian refugees and others fleeing war torn countries or persecution for sexuality or religion. I do not support 80% young males traveling alone as economic migrants or (possibly worse) and wish to quickly deport bad actors”. View shared by probably 80% of people but 3 years ago you could not even post that on Facebook. How can we seriously discuss policy when we are too afraid to hurt feelings (not being condescending, it’s true becasue I am afraid to hurt feelings too)

> It hasn't gone up in the US.

It has gone up in the US.

The poor in the US are radically better off today than they were 40 or 50 years ago.

Medicaid only came into existence in 1965. Today, after decades of expansion, it covers the bottom ~22% of people in the US with free healthcare.

The Food Stamp Act came into existence in 1964. In 1990, 20 million people received food stamps. Today, after decades of expansion (including large expansions under the Bush Administration, an unpopular fact), it covers 40 million people. The SNAP program has gone from paying out $15 billion in 2001, to $63 billion in 2016.

The real per capita income transfer, for welfare policies, has nearly tripled since 1980. The US social safety net is almost infinitely better than it was in ~1967 near the peak of global US economic dominance post WW2. There was hardly any social safety net back then. And it's considerably better than it was in 1980 or 1990.

The cynics take this to mean the US economy is much worse off than in eg 1980 or 1990 (Rhetorically does that mean Denmark's economy is collapsing? Their welfare state is far larger than the US welfare state as share of the economy). That's not the case, the US welfare state has been expanded to include more people. That has helped push homelessness and poverty to near record lows currently.
Personally I prefer interacting with women because the odds of having an intelligent exchange are better, that's my experience. Also that there are more dull males than females, and more raw geniuses males than females. But that's cafeteria talk I would never try to make science proper about, firstly because I know basically nothing about that field, secondly because I don't care enough, and thirdly because when the previous considerations are met it's a suicide getting into a loaded subject every side is eager to misinterpret because of agendas.

> Perhaps in the U.S. people are more obsessed with the very best

It's not just U.S., btw, and you're not even extreme. I remember couple of articles from the mid-90's about Russians who had moved to US after the Cold War and got married. They carried their cultural norms with them, among which there was a ruthless drive for extreme excellence.

They ran into recurring problems with their US family members when the offspring won 2nd or 3rd place in science fair. The rest of the family were proud, but those from Russia simply considered them having failed. The mentality they carried was simple: "If you don't win, it's not worth noting. Improve."

What makes this truly interesting is that the USSR/Russian education system and culture has produced a much less gender-imbalanced outcome.[0] And going off on a tangent - I have no idea whether these things are related or not, but at least in maths those educated in Russian school system are routinely considered pretty hard-core.

Xiao Jianhua, Wang Jian (HNA) are recent examples. When Bo Xilai was purged, Xu Ming, a businessman with very close ties to him, were arrested for bribery, and later died mysteriously in prison. Given the turbulent political scene it could be a good move to distance himself from everything, at least for some time.
Yes, I suspect (without further proof ATM) that this is the main reason for this quest for timelessness which Sean Carrol (cited in another comment) finds so perplexing [0]. Eternity has traditionally and in various ways been associated with (especially) monotheism. Same with infinity (of which eternity is a sort of subset).

A much simpler but perhaps more tedious way out of this apparent rational loophole for religions would be accept it. Religion may keep this final straw of rationality: we don't and can't know everything given a (probably) infinite universe. Religion is not best understood as a theory of physics anyway, but rather as a study of history, society and mind.

That's a good question, actually. I'm Not OP, I'm sure OP "understands" them as much as anyone does. But considering that the most common definition is an incomplete extrinsic definition by example, N = {1, 2, 3 ...}, I'd argue that in principle no complete extrinsic definition can be given :) That's more than a solipsism, because any number has inherent properties that make it different from all the others, even if these properties might be equal up to isomorphism with "n'th successor to zero", because then the system of isomorphisms is in question, begging the question ...

Whereas, if you know the intrinsic definition by the axioms, you know the definition, not the numbers. Big difference that is.

I'm keen on a distinction between numbers and forumals. If you take binary numbers and succ(), you have 0, 1 and an infinity of formulas. In my book that's only two natural numbers. We commonly change base to represent eg. 16 as 0x10 - or 1000 as 1k, requiring additional figures. Figure, number - potato, potato.
Much of the ancient esoteric wisdom taught that we were all of one, a mind, a singularity if you will.

I think this bit of truth was purposely hidden, as Einstein himself alluded to, by a dark cabal, and has coincidentally been rediscovered albeit as a secular institution primarily through a diefication of the scientific process.

Some of our still very early study of Quantum Mechanics points right to this matrix reality we experience.

However uncomfortable that may be.

A brief explanation of why primes peak at repeated multiples from a layman who's wondered why before.

Obvious first example all primes above 2 are of the form 2x+1. An obvious repeating pattern of primes.

You can take this a small step further. All primes above 6 are of the form 6x+1 or 6x+5. Anything else is a multiple of 2 or 3. Above 6 only 1/3 of numbers are worthy of being considered prime. This is a slightly less obvious example.

A small step further - all primes above 30 are of the form 30x+1, 30x+7, 30x+11, 30x+13, 30x+17, 30x+19, 30x+23 or 30x+29. Anything else is a multiple of 2,3 or 5. So above 30 only 8/30 numbers are worthy of being considered prime. See how we've created a new pattern for the multiple of 2x3x5 to rule out a swath of prime candidates..

I could repeat this each prime found. eg. I could take the common multiple of 2,3,5,7 (210) and create a similar pattern for all numbers above 210 that rules out the repeated multiples of 2,3,5 and 7. (leaving us just 58/210 numbers worthy of being considered prime).

This is why you see peaks of primes at various repeating multiples. For every new prime found you can take the multiple of it and all previous primes. From that you can rule out primality for various offsets to any multiples of that number. So primes above certain numbers can only possibly exist in certain forms. Which is why you see primes at repeated patterns from each other - the primes can only exist in those forms.
