It would seem that flywheels can store a lot of energy, but due to the form of the energy storage (kinetic) it’s difficult to discharge the current quickly, so to speak. Especially compared to something like a capacitor which is designed for rapidly discharging a literal current, as opposed to the analogous metaphorical motive current in a flywheel.

> He was NOT impeached for bribing Ukraine into fabricating exactly this sort of story.

No, he was impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress[1].

> the democrats didn't want Biden's crimes exposed

Biden hadn't even won the presidential nomination then, so this seems quite a stretch. Also there were no allegations against Joe Biden then, and the allegations against Hunter Biden seemed all to be very non-specific.

But some DNA sequences are privileged over others!

The mechanisms for producing new DNA sequences involves copying existing DNA sequences. Thus, the ones that exist are privileged over the ones that do not exist (yet), and the adjacent sequences are privileged over a random sequence.

> No DNA sequence is more likely than any other to exist.

It is far more likely for a DNA sequence very similar to my own to exist than a random sequence.

> we need to identify strong physical processes that produce useful DNA strands

We have already identified those processes! We know quite well how the machinery of DNA replication works.

If we care about the first DNA molecule to ever exist it's a very different question. We don't need to find a physical process that produces a modern DNA molecule from 'raw parts', rather one that takes not-quite-DNA and converts it into DNA.

> it's hard to imagine what those physical processes might be since the strands they must produce are extremely, unimaginably rare in practice.

Can you imagine slightly simpler DNA? Say just a bit shorter? What's the simplest molecule we might still call DNA, that is reproducing? Can we imagine machinery that would produce that?

I think it's very reasonable to think such machinery could exist, even if we don't know the exact mechanisms involved. We know that RNA can self-reproduce, and also produce proteins, so it's reasonable to think that machinery to produce RNA strands could evolve to produce DNA strands (for example).

The only involvement randomness has in this whole process are (relatively) rare and infrequent changes to self-replicating molecules, and (potentially) the initial formation of a self-replicating molecule.

It is irrelevant how many possible DNA sequences there are, or how much information is stored within them, as we know new sequences are derived from previous ones.

I’ll also add to your point that we seem to have this reverse troubleshooting with men. We admonish them in their adult life for lacking self control or rigor (sexual harassment or being a deadbeat), but then excuse them when it matters (not focusing on school, playing video games all day, not learning social skills). Which one do you think comes first, and which do you think is the root cause that needs to be fixed?
The idea that Measurement = "interaction with the macroscopic environment" is part of the Copenhagen interpretation, not a requirement of QM itself.

Aside: (Personally, I see this more as Bohr's way of dodging questions he had no answer to, and not a viable way to think about Quantum Mechanics. A better answer would have been "I don't know. Let's figure it out." But that was impossible for political reasons. Bohr was being attacked by Einstein for 's sake. He can be forgiven for adopting Ali's "rope-a-dope" tactics if he felt that Einstein was trying to destroy his entire field in its infancy. But I find "there is no quantum world" simply unacceptable.)

Now to answer your question as best I can, an interaction must collapse the wave function when it is required to fulfill a conservation rule. For example, if an electron is captured by a nucleus it becomes bound and emits a photon. This is an interaction that must conserve momentum, angular momentum, energy, and charge. Because of that, the electron can no longer be represented by a non-localized wave function. The universe must concentrate those properties down to a point in order to "do the accounting" necessary for the conservation rules.

No, I don't know how it does that. But then, NONE of the available interpretations answer that question. This indicates to me we are thinking about it wrong.

What I like about Stuckey's paper is that it adds another factor: besides conservation rules the universe seems to require that "measurements" obey the Relativity Principle (No Preferred Frame of Reference). I have yet to figure out how to incorporate that.
> counting how many times

That's an expectation which is an extra optional layer on top of mocking. The important difference between mock and fake is that a separate mock has to be created for every single test, but a fake needs only be created once for all tests that use the faked dependency.

If you don't like the rules, you are free to make your own platform. Like it or not, twitter can do whatever the hell they like with their website that they pay to host. That being said, if you posted something heinous here on HN and a moderator removed it, as they do every day, would you leave? Why haven't you left hacker news since that is what they do, just like twitter? Why haven't you left the internet entirely since any website owner can do whatever they like on their website?

The idea that social media is some sort of public service beholden to the expectation of not ever touching their platform is just nuts to me, yet it's pervasive here on hackernews. The irony.
We've been living in a time when almost all goods and technology have been consistently available to more and more of the population.

Meeting with someone isn't illegal in anyway - it's normally a good thing! And there's probably a good chance that Joe Biden did meet Pozharskyi at some point.

But they didn't have some kind of scheduled meeting, so it seems unlikely that any business was done.

The Post story included a screenshot of what the paper said was a 2015 email from Burisma adviser Vadym Pozharskyi to Hunter Biden, thanking him for “the opportunity to meet your father.” But the email doesn’t indicate whether Pozharskyi was describing a meeting that had already occurred or one intended to occur in the future. Nevertheless, the Post reported that the existence of such a meeting undercut Biden’s long-held assertions that he had no involvement with his son’s business dealings.

Biden’s campaign would not rule out the possibility that the former VP had some kind of informal interaction with Pozharskyi, which wouldn’t appear on Biden’s official schedule. But they said any encounter would have been cursory.

Notably:

Burisma’s website lists at least some of Pozharskyi’s meetings with U.S. officials, including a meeting in November 2017 with then-ambassador Marie Yovanovitch and a series of meetings with members of Congress, though the company lists only Reps. Gus Bilirakis (R-Fla.) and Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) by name. It lists no meetings with Joe Biden. Pozharskyi also reportedly met in 2018 with Kurt Volker

Portability is a shrine that so much has been sacrificed on. In rather interesting ways.

Pretty much, inarguably, Linux is the most per code there is. And it is done using what are easily accepted as not portable practices.

But it is not a gui, is the common refrain. To which I offer Scummvm.

But it isn't a business application? True, but I find it baffling that the ui afforded for those games is somehow easier than the ui most applications need.

I think the only other shrine that has killed more with nothing to show for it, is "easy to reason about threads." Of any sort. So much is done so a program can scale to absurd use cases, that they stall and get nothing done.
That's aluminium. Steel is magical because it has an infinite fatigue life for cyclic stress below the endurance limit and you can design things to operate in this region. Pressure vessels are also designed to leak before bursting, so a crack won't cause an explosion.

Having said that, you still need to do maintenance just like you do on a wooden house or a wheeled cart or anything that might fail dangerously. Wood rots over time!
I had assumed it was just that people were consuming two entirely different media streams. But I’ve had conversations recently where college educated people won’t even concede basic factual points left out of a media narrative. Like, things that can be established just by looking at some publicly available document, which I have given them. They keep just circling back to the narrative. It’s scary.

Yeah, I've seen the ideal fit for WP sites shrinking over the past 5 years. In my mind, the ideal fit is a business who needs some custom workflow/development that isn't easily attainable on the hosted platforms, but going full custom dev is also too expensive. $10M/yr business or less essentially.

Granted, in most of the world, that's still a huge swath of businesses, but most of them realistically don't need a heavily customized online presence. Professional services are a great example of potentially higher revenue businesses that don't need a fully custom web presence. In competitive markets, I've seen plumbing firms/electricians/pest control all compete for SEO, thus spending more on web dev services, but they're the minority.

I work for a company that specializes in E-Commerce, with a narrower focus on high performance WooCommerce and custom Shopify development. We've seen some enterprise level customers start on WP and Woo for an MVP and then spend half a decade working to get off of it to their own in-house stack, or to transition to a more managed platform like Shopify. Each one has it's ups and downs, but by no means is any one a silver bullet. It largely depends on what your business requirements are and the expectations of your customers.

Selling a dozen individual SKUs with limited customization? Shopify is fantastic and has an extremely optimized checkout flow.

Need more customizations to the checkout or you want to create extremely customized user experiences for interactions like Add-to-cart? WP might be a better fit since you can control the entire stack. But WP doesn't scale as easily as Shopify (though it can scale, that's our job) so you'll pay a premium to develop the platform to handle that scale.

Outside E-commerce, I see a lot of potential for WP in the higher ed space still. Community colleges and trade schools especially as you can work towards a unified branding effort, while still providing customization and flexibility for teachers. I know a few colleges that keep a small staff of less than 5 people, who manage web development and maintenance for decent sized institutions.

All that I guess to say, is that WP still has a place, but that it's shrinking in scope, despite the increase in actual usage numbers. Only time will tell if the trend stays positive for another decade, or if we start to see a slip as other offerings continue to improve and mature.
Perhaps from this: 200k cars sold * $7500 tax credit (+ the cars sold during the phase out, perhaps another 100k maybe at an average of $2500)

Such credits are intended to go completely to consumers, but as many government programs have unintended consequences, or perhaps unadvertised effects, the producer just charges more for the item because they know the consumer is willing to spend more knowing they'll get the tax credit, only if they buy that item. Tesla even factored the credit into the price they showed on their website, which many complained was false advertising as it was very possible not to have $7500 in tax liability, but the vast majority did.

It became obvious that Tesla captured a substantial portion of the credit when they lowered the prices every time the tax credit dropped, meeting the people who "lost out" on the credit half way. They had quite a bit of room in their margins to attract new buyers with lower prices. Maybe not $1.5B of margin from the credits, but definitely not $0.
Now I am intrigued. Checking it out in detail tonight.

To put it differently, mocks aren't tested because they can't be wrong, be at they are "not even wrong". You have to have faith that mock behavior is actually a reasonable emulation of the real system, without ever checking. The weakness is that your tests of the system under test don't help you find flaws in how the system under test uses the lower level dependency, because you are simply forcing the lower level dependency to behave the way you wish it would.
Congrats on taking your first major steps on your journey.

As an outsider who doesn’t know either of you I get concerned by:

>Jimmy and I met at Stanford in a healthcare IT class at Stanford last year where I wrapped up my MBA and Jimmy is on leave from medical school

It sets a red flag this being a MBA project, especially given neither of you have worked as a professional mental healthcare worker.

I don’t know either of you, but just sharing my initial honest impression based on your post.

There is a lot of stuff above about the size of the market and your technology, but not enough about why you’re so driven to solve this problem.

Hope you find this honest feedback helpful. (Edit format)
The absence of Cisco winning infringement lawsuits or settlements with Zoom would suggest there was no IP theft.

Many founders split from established companies because the established company disregard or dismiss their product ideas.

An idea is not IP.

You know, for those of use not from US. This is pretty much the norm since Day 1. So I find it surprising it is the those from America that complains. ( That is not to say Apple is without its flaws here )

Before iPhone was available Sim-Free and Worldwide. Apple had always been using the same marketing. iPhone starts at $199 with AT&T. The same headline without AT&T get printed all around the Internet and during the iPhone 4 era, even on local news and paper press.

And all these price are without Tax, which is something new to those from EU of other part of the world, where everything included in the consumer pricing. So by the time Apple started publishing its Sim Free Price, most around the world are complaining ( and God Damn it they still do today ) the US price and EU / AUS / CA / UK price dont make sense.

So this really isn't anything new.

Then there is mmWave, which is only available in the US iPhone.

Judging from the Pricing around the world, it seems Apple really did price iPhone 12 at $799. The extra $30 seems to be trying to recoup the mmWave margin specifically for US. And personally I would much rather pay $30 more for mmWave so I could play around with it down the road when it is available than to upgrade my Phone again.
