Simply paying for a service doesn’t remove the economic incentive for the service provider to add tracking. It will always be more profitable to track users, except in cases like DDG or Brave that stake their reputation on privacy. For instance, I pay for groceries, yet my grocery store tracks my purchases and sells that information. We can’t rely on the market to protect our privacy. Government regulation is needed.

Your last two paragraphs are, I believe, the crux of my own argument. Sure, matrices aren’t even commutative, and complex numbers have their own quirks because of i^2 == -1, but these concepts build on the earlier axioms the kid has learnt. Our entire education system is built on “lies-to-children”, and as you progress they point out that what you comfortably believed was a gross simplification. This is no different.

Just a reminder that the current minimum wage is below the poverty line in all 50 states.

Those small businesses that would get "hit hard" by a $15 minimum wage? We're indirectly subsidizing those businesses with our federal taxes; those businesses are value-destroying enterprises.

(Edit: It's not just small businesses getting this taxpayer subsidy. Walmart and other large employers similarly transfer wealth from taxpayers to their shareholders by relying on government welfare programs to allow their employees to continue to do their jobs. In a very real way, Walmart dividend checks are paid in part by US taxpayers.)

The way Geometry is taught in the US is awful. Instead of learning that you can use shapes to do useful calculations like square roots, you slog through postulates and theorums without any sense of why you have to do them. Rarely is what is learnt in geometry ever used in later high school courses, save for trigonometry. I hope it is different in other countries.
It is necessary, but not sufficient. But you are correct. This is part of why I phrased this in terms of my belief, rather than absolute truth. There's no way to convince me you aren't tracking if it's free. If it is not free, and significantly larger in magnitude than the virtue of tracking, then you at least stand a chance of convincing me.

Grocery stores track you because they can use it to analyze and increase sales, a fairly direct benefit that is difficult to "compete" with as a consumer. Internet companies use it to sell you ads, which is pretty much just about the money, barring exciting conspiracy theories. We can put a decent number on how much money that is, and it really isn't that much money. Facebook makes on the order of $20-40 per year in revenue from a user [1], and the nature of the business is they do better per user than most other people. For something like Cliqz we could easily be "competing" with a revenue of less than $1/year/user, at which point the business case of that extra dollar vs. the catastrophic loss in business if they get caught is a plausible set of incentives I can believe for them to not do it. Not proof, but plausible.

Controlling for confounders is better than not; it's also far short of adequate ("controlling" means "reducing a little," not "eliminating"), and in collinear variables you can easily kill the significance of one by adjusting for the other, if you're not careful (ordinarily we experiment with the order of controlling in a multiple regression, to see if that occurs, as well as testing for interaction effects.)

Would it? Linux does support realtime priority scheduling, JACK has worked this way for years. The thing is you need userspace realtime threads for because that is what the clients need to use, it's not enough to change just the mixing thread into a kernel thread.
Imagine going back to Kronecker and their contemporaries and telling them that a spinning top weighs more than a top at rest. They would have laughed you out of the room, but a few years later the arrogant scientific confidence of the 19th century was completely crushed by quantum mechanics and general relativity.

Science is not a body of knowledge, it is a frontier of ignorance. I like to "feel" that complex numbers are part of the fabric of the universe, if only because it would be more beautiful.

Unfortunately:

- Apple has been removing many PWA apps from their App Store.

- For Google login and Play Store, Google often has new requirements, like adding more info about privacy to PWA website without replying to questions about more details with robot like answers.

Because of those increasingly more strict requirements and always changing APIs, it seems that in future web is the platform, and not mobile apps.

I have got almost exactly the same situation: PhD, physics, forgotten more math than most folks ever learn, etc., and with an 8 year old learning the same level of mathematics as you describe.

I think the only difference might be I used "iterated" rather than "repeated" when helping him. Anyone who is just learning multiplication likely lacks the depth of experience necessary to make use of the "correct" jargon and abstract concepts as a starting point. "Repeated addition" is a useful aid in learning the operation to build that experience.

The construction you refer to is due to Frege and Russell but it has its own kinds of subtleties. In particular it does not work in ZFC which we often base upon, so we usually use Peano's axioms instead to define them (depending on your context of course).

Does it also work with WINE and manages MIDI devices or it's audio only? From the project page on Gitlab it seems it doesn't; apologies for hijacking the thread if that's the case, but I'm out of ideas.

I'm currently looking for a last resort before reinstalling everything since probably after an apt upgrade all native Linux software kept working perfectly with all my MIDI devices while all WINE applications simply stopped detecting them, no matter the software or WINE version used. No error messages, they suddenly just disappeared from every WINE application but kept working under native Linux. Audio still works fine in WINE software, they just can't be used with MIDI devices because according to them I have none. WINE and applications reinstalls didn't work.
APL introduced the name "reduce" and was the first to have it by ten years or so (published 1962, implemented 1966). Fairly sure Lisp had map first as the Each operator only appeared in nested APLs around 1981. APL may have had Compress before Lisp had filter, but they're not really the same: APL's isn't a higher order function; it takes one boolean filter list and another list to be filtered.

Reduce and Compress are both denoted / which is sometimes a problem.

I think about it this way: the complex-ness of the number is really just a representational trick. What it means, intuitively, depends on what the question is really asking and why the behaviors of math on complex numbers is well-suited to representing the answer, and that reason might change based on the context.

In practice it can't though. You cannot do complex computation and still meet low latency as complex computation takes time which adds to latency. Also pros intend to use their computer, so something that complex leaves less CPU free for the other things they are trying to do.

in practice the only way this comes into play is pros are willing to fix their CPU frequency, while non-pros are willing to suffer slightly longer latency in exchange for their CPU scaling speed depending on how busy it is. It is "easy" to detect if CPU scaling is an allowed setting and if so increase buffer sizes to work around that.

Even for non-pros, low latency audio is important. You can detect delays in sound pretty quickly.
I can tell you how great my math education was. I don't even recall the quadratic formula or completing the square is. I'm almost certain they were part of the curriculum at some point.

I recall in later math course, notably calculus, the teacher assumed we we're familiar with some concept because we we're supposedly taught it the prior year, yet not a single student in the class could recall it having been taught before.

I was pretty sure that it could be done in Google with operators in the search box (going back a few years), but I don't use Google any more and one reason I stopped was that it kept incrementally degrading the ability to refine individual searches manually.

I've not tried it out, so I can't recommend, comment or anything.

And also, they were offering customers a courtesy to use unsettled funds to buy stocks immediately, rather than waiting two business days for funds to clear. Most customers generally appreciate this feature (I certainly do!).

The only thing I'd say they did wrong (but not illegally so) was not having finer-grained controls ready to go to be able to shut down purchases of shares using unsettled funds and/or margin, while still allowing purchases by users with settled funds. This is a feature that some other brokers already have, i.e. you can buy large caps with unsettled funds but penny stocks require the use of settled funds.
Agreed. I got enthused about the Power Platform, with Power BI and Power Apps, mostly. With Power BI, you get a mix of Power Query M the DAX formula language, and then comes the power automate (flow) and power apps where you use this formula language that's still different. Too much to learn. I'm not even sure if the power automate formula language is the same as the one used in power apps. Confusing.

I think this was tried on Survivor, a few times. With hilarious results.

Like for example in one game. On the women's tribe, they were trying to make decisions by voting on everything. A very nobel liberal idea. Except it lead to split votes, squabbles and gridlock, and no action being taken. No shelter being built, and food running out. Pretty much starvation. Eventually halfway through the game, the producers intervened and had the women pick some men from the other tribe to come over and help them out. Soon they had shelter and much better organization. The man tribe picked a leader from the start, and had much better success.

This is was just a game, and its just an accounting of what happened. But its pretty obvious, aside from extremist thinking. That the most successful societies both men and women work together, to outcompete other men and women working together.
