I'm leaning on the fact that theories are significations of events, but significations are only possible when relative to an interpretive scheme that allows those events to be connected to the theory.

A deep-math version of this would be picking whether or not you want to work with the axiom of choice or not when using groups to represent vectors (the groups and vectors aren't important here, but they play the role of theories and objects). Deciding whether or not you accept the axiom of choice can a have major impact on what theorems you are willing to accept as justifiable, but the decision is not purely aesthetical, because it's possible to have technical reasons for using the axiom of choice.

Resolving whether or not the axiom of choice for the purposes of your practice can be done but it won't usually be within the scope of the system. Often you need to introduce further information from outside the system to justify use of the axiom. And so you are building on further postulates, making more choices at the exclusion of others.

A more science-y example: It can be seen as a restatement of the Duhem-Quine thesis: you always need postulates to relate a hypothesis to its observation. These postulates might correspond to truth or might not but you are almost working with a set of assumptions with varying levels of validation when doing any scientific work.

All of this drives out from philosophical school of American Pragmatism, which includes philosophers like Charles Peirce and Charles Morris who pioneered the semiotic theory. To a lesser extent Carnap might fit in this category since he bought the semantics/syntactics/pragmatics distinction that Peirce and Morris created, then set up classical logic as we know it (including model theory), although he's usually considered a positivist.

Start with why Nintendo games are non-exploitative: no microtransactions, and a single retail purchase.

Regulate children's games such that they must have a minimum price (eg. $4.99) and contain no microtransactions.

The same could be done with pornography: require $4.99/month as the minimum charge, paid via credit card, to access, and DNS ban all sites which do not acquiesce.

As I understand it, the 737 itself is not flawed, but when you add huge new engines that need to be much further forward just so they don't hit the ground, that's what makes it unstable.

The whole problem was that they were trying to pass off an airplane that now has very different handling characteristics as a 737, in order to avoid retraining and proper safety testing.
Consider giving to nonprofits - it doesn’t change the world but nonprofits are actually pretty used to working w wealthy people so it can sometimes be a more straightforward relationship.

Check out nonprofit in person and if you like what they do give unrestricted funds.

If you start giving plan to give the same amount or more for five years. Ask for an annual report at most - no special reports or use of funds.

Thiel has switched his allegiance to New Zealand from USA so I don’t understand his talks of treason. He is founder of Plantir which has mission for spying on American citizens and using tech for military without any concerns to ethics whatsoever. This is a guy who bankrupted journalist news media because they dared to publish about him. I am not sure how far Thiel can go to establish himself as one true tech villain.
Which is incidentally yet another reason why it's very important to ensure stability of our technological civilization. We've pulled ourselves by the straps of our boots a couple hundred meters into air now; it's not safe to stop pulling. Given big enough shock to economies and populations, we'll regress not a decade or three, but all the way to the beginning of industrial revolution - you can't build the technology we have now from scratch, as it's full of cyclical dependencies. It would need to be rebooted from scratch.

Yes, you're expressing a rawer form of my comments intent. The point was to provoke thinking about other ecosystems, and possibly have a site that may shows gaps that may need to be filled, or areas where just a bit of polish could be done.

Digressing, some of the gaps may be outside of apps/open web and more to do with infrastructure/pricing (see: https://catonmat.net/incredible-events-at-browserling (india and whatsapp), and as a slight contrast whatsapp-centrism in brazil: https://youtu.be/Wu9q5fb6MO0?t=1340 ). Some areas of the world, pragmatically at this point in time, may not be served better through mere 'open web' evangelism.

In fairness, I make the same mistakes as the original author as someone who has works within an Apple-centric ecosystem and is in similar first-world social circles.
It's not artificial, it's financial.

I was against Epic's aggressive moves, until I realized just how much cash they're injecting into developers. In the video game industry developers are the ones that bring the most value to customers.

Valve has been a dragon hoarding its gold. The services they provide are better than Epic, but they really don't reflect their near-monopoly position for over a decade. 30% out of the majority of PC game sales, and what do we have to show for it? Valve doesn't even seem willing to compete and lower its cut.

In the end going with Epic will guarantee the studio can make it to the next game. That's worth downloading another client. That and the free games.
If you believe Blender is sufficiently able to do what the others can in a fashion as intuitive as those, then the answer to your question is "marketing", as the money would allow Blender to show this to a wider audience. In that respect, Maya being more popular isn't circular reasoning, it's an expression of the exact thing the money can help change, through one method or another.

Similar story to the other people here, having worked in a ups warehouse with unload rates of >1100 per hr I find it's not the physical nature of the job that's hard (in fact if you like moving around it's good) but mental stress of doing 1 dimensional things all day that is the real challenge!
For DIY home brew, aluminum would be the obvious choice by far. Controlling the particle characteristics would be a bit of a challenge though. Metals that burn easily, such as magnesium or calcium, are not necessarily great choices as they will be limited by the thermodynamics of the metal oxide and ease of burning does not imply optimal thermite performance.

In fairness, way back when I was playing thermites I just bought the required materials. Metal oxides in particular tend to be boring chemicals and arguably the more malleable half of that equation. Of course, this was in the 1990s when you could legally buy military explosives with a driver's license and cash...

must these relax only by dissipating heat, or can an applied force stretch them out again quicker?

Okay. Had a bad experience = never help people unless they beg me for it. And later, of course, he mentions how troubling it can be to have people ask rich people for money.

The kind of people who make money often don't seem to be the kind of self-aware, self-growth oriented kinds of people. They're workers, to put it bluntly. They're people who work, and that's what they're born to do. Once they have money they kind of lose their minds, because suddenly they don't have to work, and no one is telling them what to do anymore.

Casting parts like that is actually incredibly difficult. The iron will want to freeze before filling the mold cavity, since the cross section of a nail is so small. While tedious & time consuming, hand forging a nail is significantly easier than attempting to cast one. Plus, cast iron is much more difficult than forging simply due to the much higher temperatures required. A simple charcoal fire is adequate for forging, the higher temperatures required for casting necessitate specialized equipment. Hence why many village blacksmiths didn't have the capacity to produce cast iron parts.
Nicotinamide Is This a Neglected Nutrient That Can Benefit Type 2 Diabetics?

There is not a lot of money to be made in recommending B vitamins like nicotinamide for supporting good health in people who have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, so there is not a lot written about it. Ensuring sufficiency of this B vitamin is, however, as its name suggests, vital to good health.

Nicotinamide is a ready-for-the-body form of niacin, also known as Vitamin B3. This B vitamin plays a vital role in energy production from glucose. Along with R-lipoic acid and biotin, nicotinamide protects the energy producing centers of the cell from the toxic effects of free radicals, allowing the cell to become more sensitive to insulin. This makes nicotinamide very useful in treating Type 2 diabetes... but increasing insulin sensitivity is not its only benefit.

Nicotinamide also delays or prevents the biochemical processes that lead to cell death. In Type 2 diabetics, excessive sugar in their bloodstream can react with other blood chemicals to release free radicals of oxygen. These oxidants literally make tiny tears in the outer lining of cells, exposing a building block of the cell membrane known as phosphatidylserine. Tearing the outer lining of the cell triggers an inflammatory process that destroys the DNA of the cell, preparing it for death. Nicotinamide can interrupt this process so that brain cells, heart cells, and insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas have a chance to repair themselves and return to healthy function.

This vitamin can also protect the pancreas, liver, and brain from the effects of fluctuating blood sugar levels. High blood sugar levels induce the release of free radicals of oxygen. Fluctuating blood sugars trigger a 'suicide sequence' that allow the cell to succumb to the damage caused by the free radicals. Vitamin B3 or nicotinamide stops this process, and may help prevent the progression of Type 2 diabetes to a form of diabetes that can only be managed with the use of insulin.

Part of the issue of African Americans believing that the Apollo program had nothing to do with them was really bad reporting of Apollo's actual diversity. No one seemed to know of Afro-American astronaut Robert Henry Lawrence Jr or test pilot / candidate Ed Dwight. No one was covering the diversity among engineers and technicians involved in the space program, or the women of color doing the mathematics or writing software used in Project Apollo.

And fuck the modern day skinheads who can watch documentaries about the space program and gripe about scenes with minority engineers, techs, or "hidden figures" with snide remarks about "empty kitchens" or "another black taking our jobs."

Can Rust now handle partial move semantics on structs?

Prosecutors in the US can't validly charge treason in all but the most extremely rare circumstances, though.

"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court."

(This comes straight from the Constitution, hence the weird capitalization and punctuation.)

The Supreme Court has clarified the definition above, and indeed, it can't apply where no actual assemblage of force against the US was being prepared or used by either the defendant or the enemy to which one is being accused of adhering and giving aid or comfort. Maayyybe the Supreme Court will extend this to cyberwarfare, but that's hard to predict and they certainly haven't yet.

Anyway, regardless, the two-witness requirement for every single overt act involved is a very high bar.
