Payments are a totally separate problem and basically irrelevant to a conversation about NN other than an ISP's technical ability to block access to a particular payment system (e.g. "we only support PayPal, go find another ISP if you want to use Venmo"). Net neutrality is about the Internet and the role ISPs and AS's play in providing Internet service; whatever other problems you are worried about can be solved separately.

Do I detect a source of anti-gravity . . . .

. . ."The new calculation indicates that for ordinary sound waves in most materials, the mass carried is equal to the sound wave energy multiplied by a factor that depends on the speed of sound and the medium’s mass density. And the mass carried by sound waves turns out to be negative. It is a depletion of mass, rather an addition of mass. So sound waves in a gravitational field should float upward somewhat, like any buoyant object in wate".
Ok comparison then.

Something burns releasing energy. An empty battery will release less energy than a full one, just like a burning fuel tank.

Is it possible to track not just the number of Pomodoros but also the time of day in which they occured? Something like this:

Jan 1 - 5 pomodoros between 8AM - 1PM, 2 Pomodoros between 1PM - 5PM.

Jan 2 ---etc.

Over time you could have a personal heat map showing the times you're able to string together the most. I remember the book mentioned two types of work styles and it might take some tracking to figure out which one you fall into.

One is monastic, which is where you have a work environment where you'll be left alone for hours each day (e.g. working from home, no meetings).

The other was bi-modal, where you may have a predictable chunk of time each day where you're available to do deep work, but other times won't work.

To give a counterpoint, I am working for a medical device company.

Even if I enjoyed it much more than working in consumer electronics, where you have arbitrary deadlines to sell more distracting (and often junk) devices, fundamentally it does not change that much.

By that, I mean that the business, as any business, is focused on its bottom line, margin, cost, customer satisfaction and not on number of patient saved or patient comfort.

I don't know about "weekend" catch-up sleep being different than other kinds of catch up sleep, but I just had a session where I pretty much got 1 hour of sleep in a 24 hour period. The following day I slept 10 hours. Now I know that's not exactly catch up, but I hardly ever sleep more than 7. It's hard for me to sleep more than 7. So if catch up is a lie, why is the only time I am able to sleep 10 if I had a missed day?

For an introduction and motivation to TLA+ I recommend Hillel Wayne's talk Everything About Distributed Systems is Terrible [0] and basically anything he has written on his blog about the TLA+.

I think following along with the TLA+ video course is really thorough and digestible once you've decided that you want to learn more [1].

You'll find the TLA+ Hyperbook is a useful reference and guide as you start specifying your own systems [2]. It has a number of examples and projects to work on.

Eventually if you want to go deep after you've decided it's worth it for yourself, get into Specifying Systems the text book and bible of TLA+ [3].

Program Synthesis has a lot of research in it and is starting to show promising results. I'd say that while the research has been going on for a long time it's still rather new to industrial use... for a motivating talk and explanation on what program synthesis is try this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnOix9TFy1A

> If he stayed in Russia the course of human history might have been very different... if he was developing all that technology for the USSR... and not USA.

I have serious doubts about this. His talents might be lost for humanity completely. Post-revolution and before WW2 there were a lot of constructors and engineers who were prosecuted, displaced or even worse by the Soviets.

The wikipedia says "After the Bolshevik revolution began in 1917, Igor Sikorsky fled his homeland, because the new government threatened to shoot him." (the citation link is broken, unfortunately).

This reminds me of Sergey Korolev's history. He was basically the father of Soviet rocket-building. He has survived the purges by pure luck. The leaders of his institute were executed, he was tortured to get the confession, lost his teeth, went through the gulag and got back. How many of these talented people ended up being not so lucky is hard to imagine.

Even the work results might not have protected them. For example, take the chief engineer of T-34 engine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konstantin_Chelpan. He got awarded for the invention, arrested and executed the next year, and then rehabilitated a few years later.

So you think our senses transcend what tools have the ability to measure? Maybe that was the case in 1970, but in 2000+, hearing (and vision) is completely understood scientifically and far surpassed by measuring apparatus at every frequency range.

I was born and lived for some time in the nearby state of Chiapas. Currently a coder working in a big city, fighting traffic and pollution every day, away from wife and kids, worrying about production issues, health, etc. When I see articles about discoveries like this it always brings me back to my childhood days driving around the Palenque ruins, seeing the miles and miles of hills which were obviously ruins that had become overgrown but that the government had yet to uncover. There are countless more discoveries like this just waiting in plain sight. Knowing that always gives me some kind of peace inside - what we know about ourselves and how we have evolved is very little.

And twenty years from now it's going to be hard because you'll have to scrounge the gear from a museum instead of it being available for a reasonable price from eBay or borrowing it off somebody who kept it in the cupboard after upgrading to modern digital gear. So I'm glad Monty did it in that era where the gear was still available.

It's not so much about the technology as much as the attention and care that can be given to the findings. Even in the past, most material treated with the utmost care and respect would have "survived" (in the sense that it wouldn't have lost a huge amount of precious hints about its true nature).

Postwar times in South America were... complicated, particularly the '60s. A responsible archeologist, be it Pinto or someone else, likely made an assessment that the country was not ready to pay this material the case and attention that it deserved, and decided to simply protect it by leaving it where it was. This happens elsewhere all over the world - in Italy, ancient findings are routinely re-buried when its care cannot be guaranteed for some reason. The practice was a bit less common back then, but not an impossibility - particularly for an already-established archeologist who didn't need more accolades.

> I have been toying with the idea that travel is the ultimate expression of selfishness and narcissism.

travel isn't the problem. People experiencing their lives via the lens of their phone/camera is. Take pictures by all means. But taking pictures to get likes from strangers in order to experience it as a valuable memory is pathological.

Edit: I hate to bring my phone with me when in nature because I feel it robs me of the experience I could have actually enjoying the moment. My ex always complained "why you never take pictures of these special moments?" ... If I would have my eyes on the phone it wouldn't be special. 10 or 20 years later I still have rich memories of those times where it mattered and I guess not having a phone/camera with me at the time was big part that it actually became a great memory.

Even if the lower sample rate of 48kHz would be entirely reasonable and 96kHz is overkill, 24 bits still makes an audible difference for the material I listen to (modernist classical music and ECM jazz), which is why you can find 24/48 from some labels. For pop music, which of course is distinguished by little dynamic range, then 16 bits would be fine just like on the CD format.
Amazon has developed Aurora and DynamoDB.

Your narrative makes little sense.
your sentiment is directionally correct but the details are more complicated...

a lender’s job is to price default risk. if they could do this properly (pricing at a premium), they’d prefer higher risk because it would net them more profits (this is supposed to be reigned in by regulations on risk exposure but we saw how effective that was a decade ago). so higher risk does generally benefit the lender.

however, lenders are horrible at being real estate investors and property owners/managers, so they’d rather avoid (most) foreclosures as it’s less profitable to them. they’ve even gotten out of managing the loans in many cases, preferring to sell them off and reinvesting the money in new loans instead. it’s specialization at work.

"I was thinking, why isn’t it possible to use this technology to create levitating objects or vehicles???"

It can, at least if we squint a bit. There is a clear mathematical relationship with all the various bits involved. Compute the amount of energy required to create the amount of sound to levitate, say, something with the mass of a car.

You'll compute an amount of energy sufficient to destroy any conceivable emitter and any object it is targeted at. My intuitive guess is that you'll actually require an amplitude of sound that isn't sound anymore; there's actually a maximum volume that sound can have, because the bottom of the wave can only go to zero pressure. It can't go past vacuum.

Also, I'd have to think about it a bit more, but I believe it would require the emitter to be separate from the thing being levitated... I think trying to self-levitate with a sound emitter would be the mathematical equivalent of trying to fly by pulling up on your hair.

So don't think full-sized UFOs dapperly zipping about with discreet little "blip blip blip" sounds in the distance... think a train car running underneath a levitating car, with a speaker giving off energy comparable to continuously-exploding bunker-buster bombs, if not nuclear bombs.

Definitely better off with a helicopter.
