>Baez didn't explain how one would go about searching for this proof, he just happened to know that repeatedly using the differential operator on a seemingly random differential equation would create a pattern that resembles the original equation after using substitution repeatedly.

If you're not used to working with continued fractions, the techniques are very counterintuitive. None of the usual calculus tricks for infinite sequences work normally. It's probably not best to read that part as an introduction to the theory of continued fractions. As Baez himself admitted, even he had a hard time understanding Laplace's proof.

The rest of the development, I assume, was not so confounding. It's a little of both: here's something you might understand, there's some black magic.
It's a percentage cut and they cut it in half for a segment that brings in the smallest amount of revenue. I don't really think this affects their argument at all except that they now make enough from large players to pay for everyone else and the good PR is more valuable than the cash
I've only had one support interaction but it was fairly poor. Their keyboard layout support didn't correctly honour the keyboard layout in macOS that I used, and the response was "file a bug", pointing me to a public issue tracker where I found someone else had reported it 6 years previously. I think that bug has been open for 8 years now – I got an email when another poor customer found it and asked if there was any update. All the issue asks for is for their products to honour the keys the OS says are being pressed.

Pfizer's Phase 3 study was meant to have three readouts of data, which would happen when they hit a pre-specified number of cases. The first readout was to have been at 32 cases in design, but after discussion with the FDA, Pfizer changed the first readout to 62 cases. By the time the discussion concluded, the study had already hit the second readout of 94. The final study analysis is concluded at 164.

The 90% efficacy is reported based on the second readout data, which was all the data they had at the time. The 95% efficacy is reported based on the final readout data, which was only more recently available.

Note that the media has not done a great job of indicating that the initial Pfizer (and Moderna, for that matter) results were based on interim analysis.
Wow, OneItemStore is awesome. Any chance there's a way to peak at the source? I'm just starting to dip my toes in front-end anything and simple projects like OneItemStore still seem quite daunting.
Amazon made a bunch of poorly performing and uncompetitive Android phones, and then bailed before doing the hard work of actually differentiating their product. The results are totally expected and if anything demonstrate the market is competitive, not anti-competitive.

Users don’t want an “alternative App Store market”. They want a place where they know the apps they download won’t steal their data or crash their device, where the billing policies are clear and predictable, where you can set parental controls and get refunds on accidental purchases.

Apple doesn’t have customers because they are the only one who you can buy water, electricity, or internet from at your home address. Apple has customers because people willingly and happily shovel their hard-earned money at them because their products are freaking amazing.

In no universe can anyone say that the progression / advancement of smartphones and smartphone applications indicates a stagnant market or one in need of forced government intervention.

From what I can see iPhone 1 with its 400MHz Samsung CPU and 320x480 display and its half dozen apps -> iPhone 12 with its 8 core 3GHz A14, 2532x1170 display, and millions of apps demonstrates conclusively that consumers are winning out tremendously over the last 13 years due to a highly competitive market driving truly massive R&D investment in this space.

I think the problem that people actually have with Apple is that they are so far ahead of the pack, and people don’t see where the inevitable disruption is going to come from just yet.
I'll speculate that the follow-on to the M1 Mac Mini will use a more powerful processor that has higher power requirements and supports more ports with higher power requirements. Is it cost effective to drop to a smaller power supply for one generation? Or just leave that supply chain in place?

I know some healthy young people who have a much harder time exercising months after getting the virus, but I concede that those cases are fairly rare—although much more common than any issues from vaccines in trial.

Thinking about it from a societal perspective, I'm willing to take a small risk from getting the vaccine to avoid inadvertently getting and spreading the virus to more vulnerable people like my grandparents.

Apple leadership has repeatedly said they aren't going to further restrict app installs on MacOS. Craig Fredaspaghetti just spoke about this in interviews on the Apple Silicon/Big Sur release. They use MacOS every day themselves, and deeply care about what it's different use case requires.

My key issue is working offline, if I could make that work in a convincing way with good usability that'd be ideal. You can still only store 5mb in local storage, so you can't sync a load of data to the device and allow the user to use it in the field. Also, there is now a 7-day age limit for data in local storage - I understand why this was done (for user privacy) but it just makes things more hostile for developers attempting to use it in a legitimate way.

Sure, plus possibly even some element of tax normalization etc.

But these are all cost-of-living items predicated on the assumption "I want to keep on living as I did and not be worse off for it". If that also means international schools for kids so they can stay on the same qualification track, then that's also a necessity, no?

Assistance with costs of home rental are often a separate line item in a good relocation package, and things like shipment of furniture and personal effects, temporary rentals during the initial phase of the move, the services of a local vendor to deal with administrivia are also separate from the cash COL adjustment part.

You won’t find more than the introductory stuff for advanced subjects in math, physics and computation unless the university has someone working on that stuff. It’s been over 20 years since I was last enrolled as a student, but when I was, I had to ask for inter-library loaned books every other month because my deep interests differed from those of the faculty elders.

I don’t know what the CRUD equivalent would be, if there is one, but at the time random projections and large deviations were fringe math, and only the basic texts were available everywhere.

As someone who has been following productivity/GTD for 10 years, this is the clearest explanation of the "why" behind GTD I've seen. Thanks so much for sharing it.

So much of the productivity world is still lifehacks or tricks to get an "extra edge". Anyone who has gone down that path knows it only goes so far. Same for the folks who focus solely on the tools, except that path is an endless circle.

Yet what matters most is being able to embrace the process of life, recognize where you are now, and make adjustments on the way to improve.

So, how about when your schoolwork requires you to 'ingest the drugs', you visit YouTube to watch the video your teacher picked out (they did a bad job IMO, but hey) ... then you're supposed to leave [cold turkey!] and get on with your work, except the website is highly animate and designed carefully to entice you to stay. All of a sudden you're spending the afternoon watching dross on YT because kids lack self-control and companies know how to exploit that.

Of course there's some blame goes to the teacher, but hey.

> Should a person be charged SF prices for groceries when they're living in Atlanta because they're getting SF pay?

Your reasoning makes no sense. It's a choice to live in a city that lets landlords dictate which buildings can be built. Atlanta and other cities are unconstrained for new housing development.

SF policies are a tax on its non-homeowner residents.

You shouldn't be entitled to a differential just because your city doesn't build new housing fast enough. That has no bearing on the work your employees perform.
Holy crap there's a lot of dead air space in that teeny tiny case.
I'm not sure I follow. If this is a "big" company then finding an IT person or programmer who can verify that this is not hacking should be easy. Even if this is a small company, demonstrating that right click on a web page (or ctrl-shift i) likely provides the option to inspect. If this was somehow "hacking", why would chrome provide every user with a "start hacking" button?

I'm currently living near Purdue University and that's definitely the situation here.

I think those negative commenters tend to miss what in my opinion is the most critical ingredient of what being a true "hacker" is – doing some things just because you want to, because you're having fun and because you want to see where it may lead. It breeds creativity and original ideas.

It's not too expensive, but the principle of the thing annoys me.

An a full-time indie game developer what I find fascinating is that Steam do the opposite of this. The more you make, the less you pay Steam, but the thresholds are in the millions. If you make more than $50 million then Steam take 20% not 30%. I understand the reasoning; Steam want to keep some of the big publishers like Rockstar Games, PUBG Corp and EA happy and not so tempted to move to their own platform (or to Epic).

But if you're a developer who isn't making more than $50 million (like me!) you end up paying more than the enormous corporations. Unless you're on the App Store, where it's the opposite. It's funny how the focus is different here.

There didn’t used to be a “top” where you are now.
Someone became the tech/thought leader and set the standards for what is the top now.

When you get there, you are expected to redefine “top”, which has the appearance of making it harder to reach the ceiling, but in actuality has the 4-minute-mile effect of causing those striving to reach the plateau to redouble their efforts and redefine their goals to get there.

Additionally, one would be expected to mentor those most likely to achieve the “top”, or those having trouble overcoming political or socioeconomic barriers to reach the next step on their path to it.

Once you achieve the “top” of your game, it’s over. If you don’t redefine the game or expand the scope of the top position, and help others achieve it, you’re dying professionally.

> Cost of living is determined by how much people living there are paid, not the other way around.

Cost of living affects the supply side of labor pricing.

Wages affect the demand side of cost of living.

Neither is determined solely by the other, but each influences the other.
I turned off all social media notifications on my devices so that I feel more like they're there to serve me rather than me a slave to it.

Which Linux File System Should You Use? (2017)
> I dont think it's ever the ideal drug for pain management.

this is a bold claim to make. it's worth having a wide range of drugs in a particular class, because they all have different side effect profiles and will affect individual patients differently. the short duration makes it ideal for use as an anesthetic, for instance. it is also safer than many of the older opioids, in the sense that the difference between an effective and lethal dose is much larger. when the short duration is not desired, this can be easily fixed with a time release mechanism.

the main danger with fentanyl is it's high potency by weight. this is not an issue in a controlled medical setting, nor with the transdermal patches that are typically used in outpatient.

> There would not be much of a black market for it if physicians and pharma were not getting people addicted.

this reflects a misunderstanding of the psychology of addicts imo. the exact opioid is usually fungible to an addict; they want whatever gets them the most high for the least money. they probably have a favorite, but you rarely hear of people who specifically seek out fentanyl. in other words, I don't think there are many people who are addicted to fentanyl specifically.
Thanks rossdavidh, I guess I just need to be confident on what I have achieved so far and should just keep moving forward.

Trust in the fact that whatever state you're in now, you'll be in the other one soon enough.

Trust that this is true for everyone.

With mastery and experience comes faith -- that is, an attitude of trust that permits unfettered action -- in the fact that the oscillation will continue. There is not any guarantee that you'll always be a space-god and never a dog; just the promise that you'll always come back to the other state from whichever one you're in.

I'm not welcome to buy your app on the App Store though. This seems to be the big disconnect about alternative app stores or distribution methods. It doesn't enable user choice unless every app is available on every store. It enables publisher choice and creates this loop where publishers who have a customer bases just move to the store with the fewest restrictions and fees. It's a race to the bottom where the user loses.

Hasn't this been one of the major problems with unionization in the tech world, is that so many jobs in the tech sector can, in theory, be off shored if the headache becomes too large (among others - being notoriously difficult to unionize college graduate jobs in general, for some reason). Even for non remote workers, picketing offices and going on strike doesn't seem to be a true option in practice, even if it is an option in theory.
