I kind of get it but it seems like a circular proof isn't it? As in, it seems that you are citing Cantor's Diagonal as a necessary precondition for the argument to hold for reals and not rationals. Specifically the "it will converge in the same infinite number space" was stated in the original argument with a reason that should apply to rationals, so I think it's an erroneous step?
That's why you want incremental off-site backups that trigger alerts when too many files change at once.
True, but it was a larger issue than just Steve Jobs. If you read the histories of those who did great work at PARC, it appears that Xerox had NO way to commercialize their work:

* Apple, Microsoft, GEM, Amiga, etc, etc all shipped the GUI

* 3Com, Cisco, etc, etc, all shipped Ethernet

* HP, Canon, etc, etc all shipped laser printers. (Xerox did too on the VERY hight end, mostly as part of a copier)

PARC's Team actively moved to or started firms that shipped their ideas.

"grouped up and deployed altogether so that there is only one UI change to adapt to, not 30."

Life expectancy being 25 doesn't mean nobody lives past 25. Estimates that low for early humans is skewed by huge infant mortality rates. IIRC living into the 40s or 50s was typical for an early human that survived to adulthood. 60s or 70s not uncommon.
As for the printer, ender3 and ender5 are good budget buys, if you add a ABL sensor it's as good as prusa if not better while I'd argue my ender5 prints better than my prusa.

Here is the filament extruder I built:

You might find this interesting as many people end up spending thousands of dollars in filament and lots of wasted printed parts as getting accurate part takes several attempts.
Live wallpapers would be much more compelling if the background had context-awareness of what was in the foreground and could interact and animate in a way that augmented the foreground apps instead of just being pretty. Maybe with smart people, future OSes will make that possible.
At the very least they should require full disclosure, including an analysis of how the hackers were able to breach their systems.

I believe that some laws requiring notification to customers in case of a data breach would already cover this. However, from another article I found this statement from CWT:

"While the investigation is at an early stage, we have no indication that personally identifiable information/customer and traveller information has been compromised."

That appears to be a complete lie based on the chat transcripts, and if so I hope CWT is punished legally for it.
If these disparities are attributable to culture, we'd expect different cultures to produce different outcomes. This is not the case. Women make up the majority of pediatricians in all societies that give men and women equal opportunity to become doctors. Men outnumber women at least 2:1 in all countries. And what variability does exist is actually inversely related to equality: women are more likely to be in STEM in patriarchal countries, and less likely to go into STEM in egalitarian countries.
And you can also buy little ethernet to (client, not access point) wi-fi bridges. They're meant for connecting devices that don't have wi-fi, like printers or game consoles.

I imagine you'd get caught on the off-ramps, since you'd most certainly be reported (by the exchange and/or your bank) to FinCEN. At that point you'd have to contend with the "the money came from bags of cash that just landed in my back yard" problem if federal agents come knocking. As for whether the federal agents will show up at all, I'm not sure. There probably aren't too many criminals who would openly admit that they successfully were able to withdraw their ill gotten gains.

To me this seems kind of like a company that has a big warehouse full of product that intentionally (or carelessly) neglects its fire alarm and fire suppression system. Or a warehouse of valuable product (say, many pallets of $5000 DSLR cameras) that has very lax security. It's the network security and endpoint security version of that.

It's not absolutely guaranteed that your warehouse is going to catch on fire, or that some guys are going to back up a box truck and clean out your valuable inventory at 3am, but there is a high likelihood of it occurring.
I've had rosacea since my late teens. About six years ago I stopped using shampoo as an experiment: I figured it would either make my skin worse, or better. To my surprise it had no effect at all. I had super greasy hair for about five days, then suddenly it was fine. I never went back to using shampoo regularly, but mostly just to save money – I use it maybe once every few months if I've actually gotten dirty, or I'm in a super humid climate.

By contrast, what I eat and drink has has a huge effect on my skin, and the only time I've actually looked 100% "normal" was when I was drinking an enormous regular dose of Chinese herbal medicine. But later I used a topical antibiotic, and that more or less fixed it: not as thoroughly as the Chinese medicine, but close enough (and it's way less hassle).

What is the moral of this story? I guess that no one I've ever spoken to has the remotest clue how the skin works.

I assume that the money is just laundered and appears as clean money on accounts.

If drugs distributor has money in cash, they will probably engage in loaning short-term to ligitimate businessses with very predictable massive cashflows that pay in cash: construction, cleaning, farming, gambling etc. They don't even have to pay in cash, as long as they have cash receivables that will work as well.

They probably called something like Farming Loans Inc and deliver cash in the beginning of the month for business to meet their cash requirements. They either use it to pay their workers or will just deposit into their account as revenue. Month later they just send me back the check,that is loan pay back that is 100% clean money.

Obviously they will need to manage Farming Loans Inc balance sheet to explain where the seed money for loans are coming from, but that's where white colar crime comes in, where not so good accountants and lawyers will cook books.

For ransom money, the system will be even more cleaner. Somebody will create offshore consulting security firm, that will engage clients in return for consulting fees. So if somebody has breach, they will call them and like we need some consulting. Consulting firm will talk to ransom guys, get keys and then bill the client. So if you accountant and look at the balance sheet of multimillion dollar company, you will see consulting fee invoice and that is pretty much it. For IRS or FBI to dig any evidence, they will have to get a whistleblower plus somehow get the documents of offshore company, which makes it impossible.

In the end of the day white colar crime is 100x bigger then anything to do with drugs/ ransomware and it starts early, because the system pushes people to behave this way and 100% trust base and a lot of behaviours are 100% legal.

The good example is retail brokerage companies that encourage day trading, options trading, FX pares trading. This is just a scam, but hey why not.

I think it's a bit unfair to look at Blue Origin like that.

While it's true that Blue Origin hasn't done anything more than a few test flights, they've definitely got a different view of the way to develop rockets.

Blue Origin effectively has no requirements to make a commercial return. Until Jeff Bezos runs out of cash (unlikely), gets bored (seemingly unlikely), or pissed off (who knows) they can keep going doing whatever they like. Certainly making money is an eventual goal, but it's not like a few delays or failures are going to result in them being unable to make rent.

For this reason, they've developed from the other end, first - perfecting their launch and landing with a smaller-scale rocket and iterating from that perspective.

SpaceX on the other hand is definitely marked by their early days where they were down to their last few $ and Elon being out of cash to keep running the business if it didn't work. So they've been working mostly on the "get something that customers will buy" side of things, with the addition of landing/re-use coming secondary.

No, and I have no idea how you can misread my comment to mean that. What I'm saying is that most people don't want to work 70 hours a week. But most people would very much like the pay that you get from working 70 hours a week. If you allow them to choose both sides individually, I'm pretty sure they'd choose the low input and high output.

Twitter is ruled by the will of the company and by extensions its shareholders and by extension of that the interests of capital.

The Fediverse broadly isn't really ruled, its about who you participate with. It is to the benefit of Mastodon et al that even though the mainstream deplatforms intolerance it doesn't actively prevent them from using the software, just from using their servers of it.

Yea, if you want to be in the mainstream Fediverse you need to play by the consensus rules of that space. But its just that, a consensus of server operators, rather than the will of a corporate entity.

Very much agree. When solving a problem with Haskell one first has to step back and think in terms of what algebra the underlying domain objects satisfy, then encode that in a combination of Haskell's type system + pure functions. It takes a lot of thought, but if done right, it feels like cracking an elegant proof.
Is the movement really "low shower"? Every article I've ever read on the subject says " don't use soap/shampoo, but shower daily ". That's what I do, and yes I'm port sure I don't smell bad. I sure as hell wouldn't go multiple days without a shower, though.
I find this principle useful when users come with negative preconceptions against the usability of your product, perhaps because of previous iterations that weren't very usable or because they tried other products in the same space that weren't very usable.

Putting additional effort on aesthetics can encourage these users to consider your product with fresh eyes, or give it a chance when they otherwise wouldn't. Of course, past that initial help you need "real" usability to keep them.

For example, I would pay a lot of attention to this principle if I was working on a product in the payment space (e.g. Stripe), taxes (e.g. TurboTax), etc.

I wonder if this is a good argument to use cloud service providers. I'm sure if someone got into your network they could probably delete everything from your corporate Google Drive/Microsoft Office accounts, but these big companies are more likely to be able to restore from backup than you are. Similarly, good managed cloud databases will have backup and restore options that are much easier than setting up immutable backup infrastructure for your company, which might encourage companies to back up more often.

Quite right. Research usually are the privileges of noble men who don't necessarily need to work for life. But historical reference does not necessarily mean the best. It may be more desirable to have a mechanism so more talents can afford to do research.
