Putting people into categories based on physical attributes like gender, race or physical abilities and putting artificial quotas on them is far from "acknowledging the problem". It's part of the problem. That's what gave us a "gender unbalanced society" in the first place. See every person as the individual they are, not as part of a group with a certain attribute. Then we'll get there.

Is it fine to entrust your child to a schoolteacher for six hours? Is it fine to entrust your child to some rando that walks up to you, and asks to go take your kid out for a bit? It's the same thing, essentially!

Let's not pretend that the threat profile between those two things is remotely similar. Just because it's a gradient, with grey areas in between, doesn't mean that the two situations aren't entirely different. I may not be able to tell you when black turns to gray, and gray turns to white, but I am pretty sure I shouldn't believe anyone who is trying to tell me that black is white.

It takes being incredibly secure in your physical safety to equate "Some investment firm buys my phone's data" and "Someone is physically stalking me."

It's the difference between me knowing that your house exists in a land registry... somewhere - and me physically following you to your home, and waiting outside as you go to sleep. You shouldn't lose much sleep over the former.

Human nature to avoid liability for screwing up - knowingly or not. You can see it even in little children who, having broken something, will deny they did so and invent excuses up until they realize the parent isn't buying it.

It also makes sense both intuitively and mathematically. If you screwed up and don't admit it, there's a chance (say X) nobody will find out (that it was you, or that anything was screwed up in the first place). Conversely, there's a (1-X) chance it'll be found out and you'll pay the costs - which my be huge and very personal, including tarnished reputation, monetary damage or even jail time. Now, if you admit to the error yourself, you get 100% certainty of slightly lower punishment. As long as the "slightly lower" isn't lower than (1-X), it makes sense to keep quiet mathematically. And of course, once you add fear into this, people tend to overestimate X.

Consequences to others turn this from a small to huge moral issue, but the mechanism is still arguably dominated by fear. That's why punishments are a tricky thing. Threat of losing license is a good deterrent from screwing up, but also a good motivator to hide your failure if you screwed up.

Nope, California has been the poster-child for Big Government for _decades_. Each year the State regularly spawns off several tens of thousands of folks who have 'had enough', who migrate to Small(er)-Government states, and then promptly start advocating for the exact kinds of policies that made them leave CA in the first place. It's a stereotype at this point, especially in places like Washington, Oregon, Texas, Montana, etc.

One pitfall I'm wary of when introducing visual proofs is not being able to make the leap of how to formalize the proof, i.e. how to turn it into a purely mechanical process that a computer could understand.

It can make these sorts of proofs overly convincing. https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/743067/visually-dec.... My favorite is the approximation of the circle one, because it doesn't rely on tricky, underhanded drawing inaccuracies, but instead demonstrates a need to truly formalize what it is you're talking about.

For category theory, most people approaching it already have some experience with mathematical proofs and could probably sketch out how to boil a diagram chasing proof down into tedious set of logical statements. If anyone hasn't, I'd recommend doing so for a simple example.

Note a version of this can occur for the "algebraic" style of proofs as well. Occasionally students can't really explain why they're "allowed" to cancel out terms (it can be a minor leap to see that really what's being relied on here is injectivity).

The other tricky thing about intuitions, visual or otherwise, at least in my experience, is that I often hold multiple mutually incompatible visualizations/intuitions about a mathematical object or process and the most crucial component of my intuition is knowing when to discard one and use the other when they conflict. To actually harmonize all of them requires, well, fully formalizing everything. Otherwise you end up mistaking your intuition for the object itself and going down a logically incoherent path (the evergreen target for this always seems to be Godel's incompleteness theorems).

You still need intuition though, because otherwise coming up with the creative spark for a proof is nigh impossible. But it's not a substitute for the formal object itself.

More fundamentally, I think both approaches, visual and "algebraic" in the sense of the article make it seem like mathematics is about getting the "correct" answer, when really the part of pure mathematics that resonates most with me is about running wild with "what if" and then rigorously chasing down the implications thereof.

For example, the commonly asked playground question "is infinity number?" is not best answered with a "no" or a "yes", but rather an exploration of what no and yes would entail, which first requires the formalization of infinity, which could have many different, mutually incompatible forms! Another fun one is coming up with a world where infinity plus one is larger than infinity (this often leads to an exploration of the ordinals).

This possibility is obvious from the technical documents I read, and it was what I worried (and I'm still worrying!) about. Thanks for the comment, I now know it's a real danger, not just a theoretical one.

Because of this, I eventually abandoned the mesh network experiment. I don't want to blow the school up and pay for it, and potentially have someone killed, just for a faster Intranet.

And I decided that if I'm going to do the experiment in the future, I'll just setup a gateway in an open space, somewhere middle but away from the buildings (so the gateway can pick the signals from those buildings), and run the system on solar power. In this case, lightning protection becomes easier - just ground the system and it should be fine.

I'm curious as to what planet you'd have to be living on to think that if we have billions of dollars to spare on huge transport infrastructure projects that aren't cars, that it should go to bikes and not public transport + walkability.

I'm guessing it's a special magic planet with startlingly good weather year-round, without disabled people, where everyone gets to age into spry Euro-oldsters.

Not wanting to kick off a unproductive circular firing squad vibe - in an ideal world, we'd do both, and more public transit frees up existing roads for cyclists. But public transport has to come first.
No, the abbreviation of "gouvernement" cannot be "gov" in French because it doesn't have the same pronunciation. It can only be "gouv" as those two vowels cannot be separated for abbreviations in French. It could be "gou" although it sounds a bit weird.

Also, what the other countries do doesn't matter much, because.gouv.fr is for websites for French citizens, not Irish or Australian citizens.

The thing is, you put yourself from an English speaking perspective, but France doesn't. English isn't a reference from the point of view of France, so there is no reason not to use French terms.

France also uses .asso.fr instead of .org, for example.

> The crucial limitation here is that flushBuffer gives you no way to indicate which parts of the OpenGL context have changed.

Partial window updates have been available in Windows since long ago (in non-accelerated GDI). Why don't others just copy Windows API instead of inventing their own poor API?

Maybe there is no partial updates because an application can write directly to GPU textures and GPU will redraw entire screen anyway?

Also I am not sure that browser needs OpenGL, because you cannot render text efficiently on GPU anyway and the main content of web pages is text.

Then the problem still isn't solved because a layer can be much larger than changed pixels.

I would say it does have that set of simple components: wrapper, section, column, image, button and text are all you really need. These are the ones we set new developers up with. You can create fully client-compatible versions the more advanced components with these components.

Everything else they provide is just gravy for situations where development speed is more important than client support (as we see it) or when you know you’re not going to worry about Outlook users of a certain generation.
But that indicates that it's actively failing, even if one day old. To me it needs to say "this project is not actively tested", not that it's broken. Depending on how simple/self dependent it is, it might not ever really break.
> thing we're trying to prove was one of the preconditions

This entirely depends on what you consider to be a definition of the dot product. There are many possible ways this could be set up. (e.g. if you wanted you could develop this whole theory of vector algebra within the system of Euclid’s axioms. Or you could set it up based on explicit coordinates and concrete arithmetic of numbers with no geometrical basis per se. Or ...)

The hard work leading up to this proof is showing that the algebraic definition a·b = 0 corresponds to the usual notion of perpendicularity in Euclidean space. After that, the algebraic proof of the Pythagorean identity is trivial.

> humans can accelerate the growth of plants substantially effectively "overlocking" nature.

For the production of biomass you need photosynthesis. The coupling between the amount of photons you supply and the produced biomass is strong and uncicumventable. So even when you implement all the nice optimizations to accelerate plant growth, you still need to supply a proportional amount of light. If this light is artificial, which you need to achieve the claimed space efficiency, then this implies a lot of energy and monetary cost.

When growing indoors, shutting out the sun light that is supplied for free, you even worsen the situation.

I think it is nice for people to grow some of their food themselves, but this method is nowhere near solving any of the problems agriculture and horticulture are going to face in the near future.

You need more than the definition of perpendicular, you need the definition of "angle" in such a way as to ensure flatness of your space, otherwise a triangle might not correspond to three vectors that sum to zero. In this case, you cannot obtain the pythagorean identity from the algebraic identities.

Remember a triangle is a set of 3 curves living in your space that meet back up. But angles between curves are measured as angles between the tangent vector to the curves and do not live in your space, they live in the tangent space.

A triangle on the sphere, for example, has angles that don't sum to 180 degrees and the three tangent vectors do not sum to zero even though the three curves meet back at the same point.

So what's crucial here is an assumption of flatness, which allows you to associate a tangent space to the underlying space in a way consistent with the underlying metric. This allows you to make the association between geodesics (distance minimizing curves in your geometry) and vectors in your tangent space so that you can pretend that the straight lines actually live in your space and are also distance minimizing. This is what you need for the pythagorean theorem.

This is not something that you can get just from the distributive law, you need the distributive plus the property that a triangle has angles that sum to 180, or equivalently that the tangent vectors to your triangle can be embedded in your space and sum to zero.
But going back to the original number of $0.01/GB, that's what they state upfront as a bandwidth overage cost. I would be very surprised if they disliked customers paying the overage fee. And that's still only $10k per petabyte, vastly cheaper than AWS.
