> That's not particularly true. I don't think there is a single mathematician whose papers are understandable to laypeople

I suspect that the media would indeed portray most mathematicians as geniuses, though. In fact most laypeople I know would agree that they were, and I know some fairly well educated laypeople in my opinion.

By mathematician, I mean a publishing academic with a PhD in math (or some rough equivalent to that).
> The only people making money off this stuff are the very few you hear about. And the people that "dedicate all their time" to it will, of course, tell you it's the only way to make stuff as great as theirs

That's absolutely wrong IMO. In almost every nice subject I'm interested in, there are a bunch of people creating wonderful content. This is in topics that most people have never heard of and wouldn't care about even if they did.

These people can have a career or a decent second income creating works that few people will ever hear of, and funny enough, there's a good chance that they need that extra money more than the few names everyone's heard of, since they don't have alternatives like e.g. concerts, selling signed copies, etc.

True. And also he got mathematical help from Marcel Grossmann. Poincare too was doing work on the theory of relativity.

Also one of the selling points of relativity in the early days was the difficulty of its math. I think it was Eddington who said that "only three people understood General Relativity."

Exposed earth typically emits carbon dioxide. It's not "emit" in the way a breathing mammal would, more that the carbon in the organic material is oxidized at a greater rate because it's exposed to the atmosphere.

Before deforestation, carbon would be pulled from the atmosphere by trees, turned into plant material, fall to the ground as dead leaves or whole dead trunks and be sequestered into the soil as they broke down and were buried.

This is an example where it plays a role. In Slavic languages, you would say something like “I saw that good one” (inserting a definitive article substitute) or “the one I saw was good”; in English, you don’t need the latter phrasing with “a”; indeed, it is somewhat artificial example.

What the parent post was saying was well described by his examples of where the article is obviously superfluous and doesn’t provide contextual information - which is the majority of their uses. There are situations where articles carry information (nobody disputes that I think), but they are used far more frequently as grammatical filler.
It also means to escape and to leave suddenly, perhaps to avoid paying a bill or to avoid arrest, as in "He's done a flit".

I come from the south west of England and flit was a perfectly ordinary word though not used in the RP register.

Here's a repost of an earlier comment[1] I made on the relationship between Scots and English, which also applies here:

I think you're confusing dialect with language here. Scots and Scottish English are distinct from one another. The latter does borrow some from the former which leads to confusion. Scots is a language, historically equivalent and closely related to English but still distinct.

It's a stretch to argue that "many modern English speakers derive from Scots root". At this point in history, most Scots speak Scottish English with some borrowing from a Scots root -- not the other way around. This is evident in the fact that the vast majority of a modern Scottish person's vocabulary is from mainline English and intelligible by someone from London. That doesn't happen by Scots borrowing vocabulary from English -- it happens from English absorbing vocabulary from Scots.

This is the situation for the vast majority of Scottish people. Coming across those who don't fit into the English-with-Scots-influence only reinforces this. Doric is arguably a descendant of mainline Scots which has converged on English, rather than the other way around, and means it's sometimes difficult to parse even for other Scots. Quite a lot of the Borders also speak a dialect which derives from Scots which has converged on English, and is difficult for other Scots to parse. They sound very similar to each other to someone who speaks neither, but are actually quite distinct -- mistaking someone from Selkirk for an Aberdonian will cause offence!

The Wikipedia has a pretty good article on Modern Scots, though I think it overstates the pervasiveness of modern Scots: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Scots It's also worth noting that most speakers of Modern Scots also speak Scottish English, and code-switching takes place frequently and fluidly.

Gaelic is spoken by ~57,500 people in Scotland. Some of them have English as a second language, having been raised with Gaelic as the language of the home. In some cases this does show their English usage. One common tell is slightly unusual phrasing -- one typical and quite common usage is "You will be having tea?" rather than the more common "Will you be having tea?" Even then, they're still speaking a variety Scottish English and not Scots.

tl;dr: Every Scottish person speaks at least one of the dialects of Scottish English. Some also speak a dialect of Modern Scots. An even smaller number speak Gaelic.

One parent is a Gael whose second language is English, the other parent is from the Borders whose first language is that variety of Modern Scots.

Where I live there's Velospot (velospot.ch), and it works rather well. The differences: using a RFID card, not dockless, an organisation in the city itself and cooperation with the local jobless employment institution, a yearly fee and usage fees for usages above one hour.

However, in a neighbouring city a competing bike sharing company also failed. They misdesigned the locks and after a security hole went public all their bikes got stolen.

It seems that bike sharing is really difficult!
I still don't believe you, because I have an experience of repairing MBP too. In my case it was damaged keyboard. They decided to replace entirely that half of the notebook.

First comment on your article nails it. At the end of the day lambdas scheduling is a black box. People have deduced certain behavior, but AWS is explicit about not relying on undocumented behavior.

I don't like the implications that his tweets are what cause all of the stock's price movements. Sometimes they obviously have an impact, with his infamous $420 privatization tweet being the best example, but as for the last few days of the market, stocks were down significantly across the entire market, and TSLA has always been very volatile. Tweets can have an effect but it's not fair to simply look at a tweet, then notice that the stock is down 5% today, then assume that is causation instead of correlation. I'm not denying his tweeting may be very influential, but there's much more to the market price than just that.
The 8 comments on here are spot on accurate. Blockchain is not 3.0 and has a very limited use case that enthusiasts refuse to acknowledge. I predict a great failure in 1-2 years with a few surviving beheamoths that are actually using blockchain for it's one legit use case, a ledger.

In school it's likely you were speaking Standard Scottish English. Received Pronunciation (RP) is an accent, not a dialect -- though most RP speakers speak Standard English, so there's a strong correlation between RP and Standard English. I've yet to come across and RP speaker who speaks another variety, excluding the occasional phrase or borrowed word.

Outside of school you were almost certainly speaking Scottish Standard English, rather than actual Scots. Scottish English is a branch of English that's been influenced by Scots and borrowed vocabulary from Scots, but isn't actually Scots. Almost no-one in the 20th century speaks actual Scots; those who do are immediately identifiable and generally hard for a non-Scots speaker to understand. The last vestiges of Scots language speakers are parts of Aberdeenshire and the Borders.

Yeah, it does read like a rant, but I think the suggestions are valuable. I've been using Linux since the first release of Slackware back in 1994, I believe. For a number of years, I developed desktop applications for Linux for some of the companies I worked at, but it was always a pain to support multiple distros and multiple versions of the same distro. I got tired of the effort after a while and moved to doing web-only programming. Then, in 2010, I gave up on Linux as a desktop environment altogether, simply because the user experience was so much better on macOS (OS X at the time).

I think having a standard that all distros adhered to that provided a common, universal baseline that developers could depend upon would go a long way toward increasing developer productivity, interest, and desktop usability.
I'm not sure I understand what he's getting at. What does it mean to run "on top of" vs "in"? What's the problem in saying, "To run our app you need to have libraries X, Y, and Z installed"? Is it a big deal to pick a font rendering library and tell users they need it installed to run your app?

The lesson isn't "this should be normal" or "don't worry about it", but that the underlying dynamics -- political, social, economic, media -- are so damned consistent. The dynamics are systemic. Which means it's quite helpful to see where and when the dager signs are reappearing.

If all "tropical forests" were in a single country, at 0.425 Gigatons per year of emissions that country would be the #14 most polluting in the world! [1]

The article above estimates 0.425 Gigatons of carbon dioxide per year being emitted by from the world's tropical forests. This is 1.3% of yearly global emissions! [2]

What if forests flipped from friend to foe, with poorly managed forests becoming liabilities?

I would take that with a huge pinch of salt. Census data is self-reported, and most people don't know that Scots is a distinct language from Scottish English, albeit one sharing the same Anglic root and with a lot of borrowed words and phrases.

I live in Aberdeen, and I'm pretty sure if I was to leave my flat and ask people I met in the street whether they spoke Scots or English, I'd get a disproportionate number of Scottish English speakers tell me they speak Scots; I'd also probably get some of the Doric-speaking locals tell me they speak English, even though Doric is actually a descendant of Scots.
It does though, regardless of which brake you use. I think this is because the forces are applied at the contact point on the road. It is like applying brakes to the left side of a car, it is going to turn left. The effect is less pronounced in a rear wheel because the braking is naturally limited by the tipping.

Shifting weight might help a bit, but you still need to grip.

These examples map to English well:

* ten/ta/to = that, not “the”; I.e. literally or figuratively pointing (including e.g. referencing previously mentioned object and not wanting to repeat it)

* nějaký etc. - some, not “a”, i.e. explicitly strongly expressing vagueness. “A” in English is automatic grammar construct, “some” is explicitly expressing uncertainess. That sentence would correctly be translated as “SOME woman asks for directions” - I.e. a woman you don’t know, some rando that walked in the shop for example. A more real sentence: “some woman is asking for you” (you don’t know her, never seen her, she just walked in and asked for your colleguae), “nějaká paní se po tobě ptá”. You would use “a” in English here, it warrants clarifying the situation with “some” - and in Czech, that’s the only situation when you need these, when you are pointing to/referencing something or expressing vagueness.
every supermicro motherboard that I have dealt with (several 100s) always has a jumper which can enable(shorted)/disable the bmc/ipmi. i’ve been surprised at how many we have bought used off eBay/surplus that had the jumper open (ie bmc disabled). wouldn’t having this disabled physically (jumper open), thwart this attack?

(i’m asking not suggesting)

and I do realize the majority of people do have the BMC enabled, including me)

also the fact that supermicro still offers this jumper to disable the BMC might speak to the fact that they (sm) are not in nor had any knowledge of this issue (ie they were not “In on it”)
Perhaps. But it won't make any difference if you are not gripping properly. You still have a deceleration which your body needs to deal with.
Do you wear helmet while driving a car? What’s the burden of wearing one vs. having some protection in case you have an accident? Car drivers are much more likely to die of head injuries than cyclists. Do you also wear a helmet while walking, especially in winter? What’s the burden of wearing one vs. having some protection in case you slip and fall?

Why don’t we do that? Because while the burden is low - it’s mostly dragging the helmet around wherever you go and ruining your hardcut - the actual probability it might help is quite low. And with good infrastructure, the same is true for cycling. If you look at this years stats for causes of death for cyclists in Berlin for example, the leading cause is “crushed by a truck”.

Note: if you do cycling for sports at high speeds or rough terrain: wear a helmet.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_Not . Similar things have happened and are happening to many other minority languages (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegianization ).

Also, regarding Scots not being that different, people do tend to (not always consciously) modify their speech towards mutual intelligibility when talking to people of different languages. My parents recently visited Tangier, VA[1], and had a conversation with some kids on the ferry, noticing "oh, they speak a bit differently", then they turned to speak to each other and my mom couldn't understand a word.
