I somewhat agree.

It seems clear to me that its a consequence of not writing to a story arc, which in turn is a consequence of not knowing the running length of your story. Even the best execution I've seen are series that end ambiguously with open questions left for the audience to decide. In feature writing open endings are often considered edgy or avant garde, in series writing it is the most obvious of cliches.

Series that have a known fixed length do much better imho.

Mind you I think it is possible to execute on a story arc without knowing your running length in advance as long as you are within an order of magnitude in estimation. I just haven't noticed anyone trying.
wow that's so clever and simple! Love it.

> In general we have started to figure out how to make the DNA of software systems resilient against the changing tides of time. No-code seems to reject a lot of those learnings, for better or worse.

When I was a kid we had Microsoft front page, a no-code solution that allowed you to create a web page. A few years into college my brother-in-law started making money writing web pages in plain CSS and HTML and a little jQuery. I asked him why he could make money when I could make the web page in front page. he said it was much as easier to change the web page over time when it was written in code than changing the auto-generated garbage HTML that front page produced. No code, then, stood up poorly over time back then and I doubt it will today except as a way to make standard parts out of modular pieces of software, sort of like Unix did back in the '80s with its modular command line tools.
I like writing stuff down too but you miss out on search.

How is this not partial evidence that ZFC is trash?

What percentage of coders do programming on a turing tape? Is this partial evidence that turing tapes are trash? Does that question even make sense?

> I don't expect this to be solved now (tooling, as per above), but mathematicians should learn more category theory now as that works just fine pencil paper and brain. When the type theoretic tooling is ready they will be ready.

The abstractions of category theory are useless in many areas of mathematics. Prime example: PDEs.

Laypeople think that category theory is the 'ultimate math' because they hear that it provides bridges or analogies between different areas of math.
Perhaps programmers are especially prone to this because category theory does have some applications to programming.

The thing is, almost all of pure math is itself is a bridge between different areas of math. Some of these areas are bridged by category theory, some are bridged by other kinds of math, which have less catchy names.

Funnily enough, this doesn't appear to be true. Your "scattered areas" comprise a solid majority of the world's English speakers: India and Pakistan alone have almost as many English speakers as the US, and adding in the Phillipines tips it over. Similarly, Nigeria has more English speakers than the UK.

That is to say, I don't think it's accurate to say that the English-speaking population is "heavily skewed" away from sunny areas.
It's easy enough when things are on separate disks. Disk partitioning for dual-boot always was and always will be crap.
That simply won't happen. The sheer size of the international streaming market combined with the sheer volume of existing and original content (no matter what quality!) and the natural state of competition between legacy and disruptive players means we'll never return to a period where television content had to be high-quality because there was only enough signal bandwidth for 4-5 channels.

We need a Criterion Collection but for streaming TV services.

> it seems that detecting full spectrum weapons requires highly specialized and expensive equipment.

This is nonsense. If the power level is high enough to do damage, detecting it would be trivially easy.

Just a wire dipole, a diode, and a simple meter will do the job. At most it would require a set of dipoles to cover each band of interest.

Most radio hobbyists could make a set of dipoles from an a old coat-hanger in a few minutes.
They’re two separate buses, high rate and low rate, for different purposes throughout the engine and components. Not the literal high and low pins of each bus. High rate, low rate. Think cylinder timing communication speed versus, say, fuel usage. CAN operates at a fixed speed, and I understand high and low rate buses to be a common design (they’re two CAN standards, high is something like a megabit).

My code reader has fetched “CAN HI” before and the code was contextually referring to the high-rate bus, not the physical wire. I’m not a deep Jeep tech, just dangerous electrically and with a spanner, so I may be wrong in how I’m spelling those and I’m following the lead of a trouble code. If you’re nice to a service dealer with a laptop you can get a quite lovely wiring diagram that explains it better.

I once joined a gym that had a high startup cost and a high monthly rate but was close to work. Despite these high prices they wanted to nickel and dime. I quit.

Yes, ideology really seems to confuse people with stuff like this.

By way of illustration, consider two scenarios:

A: The government sends the Royal Family 100 million pounds directly, every year.

B: The government via property law enforces the Royal Family's ownership over a property portfolio, allowing them to collect 100 million pounds a year in rent.

Which of these "costs the taxpaper" and which doesn't? Many people will insist that A does, and B doesn't.

But in fact, both A and B do "cost the taxpaper" much the same.

I'm interested to know the motivation behind the CIA's refusal to send him to Walter Reed. My theory is that they fear that this might turn into a diplomatic incident. Also, questions might be asked as to whether the CIA/intelligence community even know or are able to detect whatever it is that the Russian government did here.

> Should have went with a first amendment challenge in federal court

The nature of the case in-question is clearly one of obscenity (the subject was sexually harassing someone else, which is definitely not protected by first-amendment rights).

As a WA resident myself, I'm disappointed in the judgement (though that depends on what the State Supreme Court's role is - it's unclear to me if they were deciding what the law said or if they were deciding what was just in the circumstances - kinda like how the US Supreme Court will decide if a given law is constitutional or not, regardless of how just or actually necessary that law is for a well-functioning society - this wouldn't be as big a problem if the US would end its sacrosanct, holy-text treatment of the Constitution - I used to admire and revel in the simplicity of a short written, principled, constitution - but now that I'm older, wiser and far more cynical I feel the other countries' approach of "the law IS the constitution" makes it easier to be responsive and reactive without necessarily betraying any long-standing principles.
> It is likely RIAA would have already done some sense check of usage already using metered PC panels ...

Not sure about that. The RIAA approach over the last few years doesn't seem very well researched or well thought out. They seem to more go after "targets of opportunity" + add in coercion wherever possible.

That's just my impression anyway.
Is there any insurance that would pay for merchandise that Amazon destroyed because they determined that it's fake? Why would the insurance company take his side when they could just side with Amazon and save $1.5M?

He can produce invoices that show he bought $1.5M of legit merchandise, but how can he prove that what he sent to Amazon was not fake?

Physics degree. I find it plausible. Wave mechanics are strange. Several effects can produce surprisingly high energies at a distance: constructive interference (nodes) and cavity resonance. Phased arrays are modern ways to produce these effects. These are all phenomena being used for wireless power transfer with EM, I don't see why you would doubt on first principles that the same thing with sound (the skull being a resonant cavity). I mean, I would tend to prefer a biological/chemical explanation myself, but to say "physical implausible" is wrong, IMHO.

And this wouldn't be the first time the Russians designed something like this. There is that famous passively powered bugging of the American embassy in Moscow story, where they anticipated RFID technology, in the 60's.

> so Walmart cant get goods at half the price anyone else can.

But that in itself is already restrictive. As a manufacturer I would rather give one giant customer 100,000 units than 10,000 customers 100 units in a huge range of products. The overhead of dealing with different customers, different shipping, different receiving is a big pain in the ass. This is why there is a such a thing as volume discounts.

So you’ve forced the local manufacturer to have an artificially high price for high volume customers and Walmart just goes to a Chinese manufacturer. See the problem here?
First time I see this mentioned somewhere. YES - this exact same thing has driven me crazy.

> Because of the inconsistency, I've become hesitant and scared to click anything for the first ten seconds of loading the page. I'm being habituated by negative stimulus. Nothing has ever made me want to ditch Google search more strongly because it's now literally giving me anxiety to view the search results.

I resonate with this so much. It offends me in the worst way - it makes me waste my time. Not only when I search something, but on other places too! "Will the content change before I click or not? I don't know, so I better wait a few seconds". Even if a page is not an offender of doing this, I've already been conditioned into waiting.

It's frustrating and it's infuriating. We have ever more powerful computers, and yet interfacing with them feels slower and slower.
That's because audiences will entertain the most banal stories as long as they're attached to name brands.

If his story is true, it doesn't even sound like Amazon had any evidence that his merchandise was fake. One person didn't like the fit and suggested that it could be fake, another complained about a damaged box and again thought that meant it was fake, and the other two didn't like the way it was packed.

For all we know, the complaints were from a competitor that knew exactly what would happen.

Laws of thermodynamics are not helpful in this context. Simplest example is: in the absence of glucose/glycogen, our body converts fat to ketones for energy and/or protein to glucose. But unused glucose gets converted to fat and stored, whereas unused ketones get peex out - there is no process to store them again.

Unless you check ketones, a body in ketosis used to HIIT will seem to defy cico balance. And many times even when not in ketosis.

Popular thermodynamics (Carb=Protein=4, Fat=9, etc) is useful as a first order approximation but requires so many wrong assumptions that it cannot be assumed to hold in any particular case.
> As if wireless phone charging or bitcoin mining

Love the bitcoin submarine. lol.

To add something informative to the conversation ...

The reason that the big bitcoin farmers are located in China is that the power generation model is different in China than the West.

China is controlled by about 8 Dragon Families in concert with the CCP (you'll notice that in news stories the prominent actors all descended from Maoist leaders, etc.)

So if you're a bitcoin miner, you just talk to the Dragon Family in charge of power generation (for example, one family owns the Three Gorges Dam profit stream, plus most other dams), and hook up to a hydroelectric dam. No published electricity rates for you.

The above also explains why the arrest of the Huawei CFO in Canada is such a big deal in China - she is royalty, and the West is treating her like a common peasant.
The color coordination is better but it doesn't address the big problem, which is that the geometry is too big
This is not how it works.

The bigger the labour pool, the worse deal you are going to get. You're now competing against the guy in Nowhere Town, this guy can do your job and he's willing to do it for less because he's never experienced an expensive reale estate market.

I run a small consulting practice. We are highly skilled and very experienced. We can often charge much less than our competitors because we don't have the overheads our competitors do. A 1 million dollar deal for my practice is worth a lot more than a 1 million dollar deal for Accenture. We can go down to 700,000 and still have over 90% profitability, Accenture will walk away at that price point because it's not worth their time.
