That's the whole point of a legal(criminal) judgement! The only thing that matters is your intention.

That's not correct and in a very obvious way for anyone that pays a little attention to news. There are many factors that count.
That is, for sure. But if you can nick Apple for that decision, I think what Google can be nicked for is much bigger, and it’s not a decision on their part, but something more akin to a thing they can’t accomplish.
Auto-brewery syndrome: when ingested carbohydrates produce alcohol [pdf]
Tan wasn't the hitman. He was the original guy that ordered the hit. All the other guys, too (except the last), were acting as middlemen, ordering the hit and skimming some off the top. They were all requesting the murder of someone else by paying a 3rd party to do it.
The author does a lot of fun thought experiments that don't hold up long under critical scrutiny.

Take for example: "On the other hand, if, as it is now fashionable to maintain, the majority of voters in a democracy are prohibited from doing one thing—ending the democratic elective process itself—then this is no longer democracy, because the majority of voters can no longer rule."

It is still a democracy, because the majority of voters did not the surrender the power to make that decision to anyone, but in fact nobody is able to make that decision at all. There's no non-democratic entity who could decide so in place of the majority, because it is something that simply can't be changed. Every decision made is still made in a democratic process.

Just because you can't decide that the sun should drop out of the sky, does not mean you are not a democracy. It's simply another decision nobody can make. It's completely outside the scope of your democratic decision making.

Edit:

Another example would be a company in which all decisions are made in a democratic process. Well why can't its workers decide that murder should be legal? The obvious answer is that it is simply not a decision they can make, but is instead at the discretion of the country they operate in.

Very interesting comment, not because I agree with it, but I think it exposes a classic left vs right wing problem, and that the attitude is applied universally instead of selectively. IMO, the optimal attitude for society would be if everyone was "left-wing" (generous, forgiving,...) toward others/out-groups and "right-wing" (demanding, requesting responsibility,...) toward yourself/in-group.

Killing people,at least in western world,is becoming more and more difficult without being caught. Criminals aren't stupid either: it's far better to intimidate, threaten or blackmail people instead of killing them,as enormous amounts of resources usually being thrown at these cases,as opposed to an average policeman working a robbery case. Advancements in forensics makes it even worse.

The quantum Erasure doesn't have anything to do with wave particle duality imo. They are purely testing the effects of entanglement and choice.

I see entanglement differently than most people.

They tend to believe it's a state of identically positioned particles acting in unison. To quote the wiki
"that converts the photon (from either slit) into two identical, orthogonally polarized entangled photons with 1/2 the frequency of the original photon"

But entanglement and super position are all about balance. Too much interference and your state is lost.

Our galaxies and solar systems are macro representations of entanglement. I mean is got to be pretty obvious. We are essentially using the same technology to look at both.

So if entanglement is all about balance, no shit whatever you measure on one will be the opposite for the other.

There are two sides to a coin.

We are messing up where the axiom of choice is taking place. It always happens at the point of entanglement. Based on that choice every step from there is deterministic "in theory".

Who fills the vacuum?

I now think elected politicians should be full time, full paid, professional service workers, with fully staffed offices.

Before, I was for term limits. Until I started lobbying on my pet issue. Watching the grizzled, wily bureaucrats run circles around the part-time amateur politicians was illuminating. Whereas the longer serving electeds had enough experience, knowledge to hold the bureaucrats accountable.

I know almost nothing about Texas, or its government. But its drive-by policy making concerns me. I'd rather have my elected representatives sitting on the levers of power, keenly aware of what's what.
The key here is deceit.

I have no problem with employment where money is exchanged for time. But that wasn't the case.

The employee got paid for time in the form of money and stock. You are conveniently ignoring this part.

If the stock is worthless, why offer it? The answer to me is obvious, they are being deceitful.

As stated, the SECs' mission is so that people who deal with securities don't engage in deceitful behavior, since deceitful behavior removes trust from market participants which creates friction and increases costs and decreases participation.

The argument that people's rewards, one who put in $50 in cash and another who accepted an offer that resulted in a decreased earnings of say $50 avg should be treated differently is anti-meritocratic. Both risked $50. If the employee wasn't accepting a decreased earnings potential, why offer the stock? You can't have it both ways.

Just as the company would have failed if the investors didn't invest, it would have also failed if the employees left when they saw trouble. Many extensively won't because they have shares. That's why the shares are offered in the first place. To motivate the employee. But it turns out many times those offerings are done in a deceitful manner; the people offering stocks to employees many times know those stocks are extremely unlikely to be worth anything, yet they make a concerted effort to make it appear as if those stocks are worth something.

Investors are protected from deceitful security offerings. Surely you think that's a good thing? Why not apply to all parties?

Literally all I'm arguing for is a more honest (and therefore meritocratic) code in our system when handling the exchange of time for securities, especially in the face of a large liquidity event.

This gets silly, though. If you are going for full isolation where applications can't just let the user have data, then you have to coordinate every app talking to every other app.

This is why the share button on a phone is ridiculous. Instead of just copy to clip board, you get a ton of options.

Is it safer? Hard to say. I can do less and have less capabilities without more active work from the developers.

There is something to be said for this, of course. But it seems a losing game. I contend there is no technical panacea to security versus convenience.

Yeah it's true inside London. I was there a few years ago looking at house prices. 500k pounds gets you a two bedroom studio flat in the London and a 4 or 5 bedroom fully furnished family home 1hr outside of London. That same 4 bedroom house inside London was between 3 and 5 million pounds.

Let’s say that an H1B cost $150k today. If a large enough tax was imposed, the companies are still paying $150k, but $75k of that is a tax, and infosys is getting the other $75k, paying the H1B just $50k. Now, a US citizen would have $150K to pay his/her yearly expenses, while the H1B would only have $50k. The H1B wouldn’t be able to afford a $3000 apartment in the bay and would be forced to share a room. That would then drive down demand, reducing housing costs.

> Admittedly there’s still a bit of mystery left. How does periodicity in space quantize momentum (I think if it as a sort of resonance phenomenon). But it’s hardly an impenetrable, soul searing mystery that makes you question reality itself.

I don't find this to be true. What's left is the key issue. The entire mystery is left. The old QM worked exactly like that explanation: you take a classical explanation and postulate that some quantity in it is quantised. This is ad-hoc and not a general approach. A major breakthrough in the new QM was an explanation why things are quantised. And yes, it's a resonance phenomenon. Resonance of what? Probability amplitude waves. Once you have that explanation you can do away with the classical+quantised part of the explanation, because it becomes superfluous.

Can the majority of people decide to end democracy if they, the majority, wanted or not? If not, why not, and how is it a democracy then? If yes, then I do not understand the relevance of your comment.

> Just because you can't decide that the sun should drop out of the sky, does not mean you are not a democracy.

I think this one is pretty obvious and I am not sure of its significance here. You cannot decide to do a lot of things, but that does not mean that you cannot decide to do some other things. Allow me to say this: just because you cannot decide that the sun should drop out of the sky, does not mean that you are a democracy (just as it does not mean you are not a democracy). See the problem here?

> Another example would be a company in which all decisions are made in a democratic process. Well why can't its workers decide that murder should be legal? The obvious answer is that it is simply not a decision they can make, but is instead at the discretion of the country they operate in.

This makes no sense within the context. You have mixed the scopes yourself. It is at discretion of the country, yes, and the company most likely is not the majority that makes up the country, is it? Otherwise if there was democracy, and whoever was part of the democratic process are indeed the majority of the country they operate in, then they are either allowed to decide that, or they are not allowed to decide that. If the majority of people cannot decide that, then it is simply not democratic. At first I thought you would talk within the scope of the company, then that would have made more sense in the way that workers are not necessarily part of the democratic process, or their votes can be simply ignored, which may happen in the context of a country, too, in which case I would not call that democratic either.

If it says CLI, I tend to think of it as a normal command that runs and spits out some output (or nothing). A TUI means a full-screen, long-running, interactive application.

So if this were a CLI for lobste.rs, I'd assume it just fetches the stories and prints them.
That would require you to map the SQL to something else which would then map back to SQL or mongo or w/e. For example if you're trying to join data from multiple microservices you can't execute the join because most microservices setups are not going to allow joins. The joins would have to be mapped to service to service calls and at this point you're just rebuilding an orchestration layer which has already been solved by graphql.
QM is easy to describe. There is wave-particle duality, but not at the same 'time', only in a strict alternating sequence of propagations and interactions.

Propagation is completely wave-like. It is unitary and time reversible, without loss of information. There is no particle there, and no 'there' there, as the propagation is non-local. Waves have complex amplitudes. Interference happens because that's what waves do. Propagation is described by the Schrodinger/Dirac equation.

Interaction is completely particle-like. The interaction is non-unitary and time-irreversible. The interaction may also be known as detection or measurement.

The wave only contributes the probability of the interaction happening, which is described by the Born Rule. Amplitudes are complex, so squaring them with the Born Rule can give negative probabilities, which is why the double-slit experiment gives many fringes.

The interaction is local, because it creates the 'there'. Positions and distances are created by the interaction as a specific spacetime event. Hence the aphorism spooky distance at an action, meaning that (inter)action is fundamental, and distance is a strange thing created as a byproduct.

There are conservation laws that balance some incoming and outgoing properties, scattering laws that determine how the interaction happens for various forces, and some constraints between the knowable values of commuting pairs of observable state (particle properties) that are revealed (entangled) by the interaction. These constraints are also known as Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, but are really just direct and obvious mathematical properties of wave packets, as described by Fourier Analysis.

After the interaction, there will be propagation of new waves for the outgoing particles (meaning a bundles of state). The interaction results in an entanglement (correlation of future possible interactions) between these distinct outgoing waves.

That's it.
A TUI is not a CLI, but a GUI that 'happens' to render in a terminal environment, restricted to the features available there. (mostly ANSI escape codes)

Do you mean TUI (Terminal User Interface)? It is not the same as a CLI (Command Line Interface). A CLI is text-prompt based: run a single command, get a response.

A TUI is an interactive program with keybindings, where one can navigate around, do actions and the screen will update to reflect the new state. Basically like a X11/win32 GUI, but inside a terminal window.

I'm no engineer, but I like to work with engineers that are good at not just established "engines" but imaginary ones too.

I always thought any engineer should be able to understand this well-established graph just by looking at it, regardless of whether they had any ChE background.

Engineers already exposed to material phase behavior sometimes still take a little while, but there's not much there, it's a pretty straightforward graph.

Studying it alone should bring understanding, not of the full implications of the dynamic physico-chemical properties of course, just the states of matter that exist under the conditions indicated by the data.

Some engineers can never get this, I don't get that.

While I would prefer an engineer with an appreciation for what it takes to turn the imagination of some PhDs into apparatus capable of creating drawings like this, using commercially available components when possible, based primarily on drawings like this.

I'm no capitalist without other people's money (I personally owned two of the automated positive-displacement high-pressure [syringe] pumps), but a good capitalist to work with would have enough imagination for an intuitive understanding of the leverage used to assemble advanced equipment into money-making machines, when the majority of operators must accept the high-dollar components as unrecoverable costs.

Reduce pollution, avoid gas stations, have a lot more fun driving the safer Model 3. Electric cars are not just for the rich any more.
