Spherical harmonics arise as the azimuthal and zenithal components of solutions to the Schrodinger equation for any spherically symmetric potential. In nature, such a potential really only arises in atoms for the case of hydrogen (due to the lack of other electrons, which break this symmetry), but as you might expect can also describe certain other limiting cases where the potential is approximately spherically symmetric quite well. An example of this is an alkali atomic species -- lithium, potassium, sodium, and so on -- where the single electron in the valence shell is excited to what is called a Rydberg state. If you're familiar with the usual set of quantum numbers applicable to atoms, a Rydberg state is where the principal quantum number n is quite large, usually around 60 or so. In this limit, the single valence electron is far enough away from all the other electrons that their angular non-uniformities can be neglected, and hence the resulting potential seen by the valence electron is approximately spherically symmetric.

Another thing about the spherical harmonics is that they're also just a generally applicable, linearly independent basis of functions with purely angular dependence, so we can, in principle, use them to decompose any angular wavefunction -- whether the specific harmonic for a given set of quantum numbers is an eigenstate of the angular Hamiltonian or not.

EDIT: For completeness, I should note -- in case anyone's not so familiar, the numbers that index the spherical harmonics are called quantum numbers when used to describe atomic orbitals. Physically, the positive-or-zero index gives the orbital angular momentum of the particle whose wavefunction it applies to, and the positive-or-negative index gives the projection of the orbital angular momentum onto a specific axis.
Generally return on investment is measured in real dollar terms - not notional terms - meaning after accounting for inflation. It's not a gain if it keeps pace with inflation. Certainly not after you net out maintenance. It needs to appreciate in real dollar terms like 1-2% per year just to break even.

Yes, and together with it the flood of abusive loans with lower deposits and longer payback periods as if it would make homes "more affordable" (not)

Student loans, mortgages, or "how to make money with lower interest rates", convince people to loan more and pay more interest (with a longer period)
I'm surprised the figure is so high because an economy car is closer to the $23k figure and if you go up to like 35 you're well into what I'd consider pretty nice territory. Obviously one can spend much more but I'd say you're getting to the point of diminishing returns already at that average price.

Live with a 2 font maximum and popups every time a site chose to load another font? It would break every icon on the web. You'd either only load the icons or only load the text fonts. If you want to avoid fingerprinting, and actually think this method remotely works, by all means block those requests. If you actually care about privacy a better place to start would be the fact that chrome logs you in on the browser level whenever you login to anything with a Google password. Some random fingerprinting is not worth shutting down all design for. On that idea we should just go back to dialup because everything is too dangerous for idiots to handle.

Houses break down, but they don't literally become totaled, the way a car or food does. I don't get the comparison.

Pay has gotten so high for one tiny group of people in one or two areas they can afford high housing prices.

The most common profession in the US is a truck driver. The largest employer, I believe, is Walmart.

In a segregated bubble, this would work. Hell, it's worked for a few decades.

The problem now are the people who relied on 'cost of living high wages (wink wink)' are flexing their money all over the US. And truck drivers and Walmart employees are priced out.

No, house prices don't have room to grow. Unless we are trending towards a feudal state, which it increasingly feels like is happening.

Just being thorough, but in theory it could be both if there was a steadily more desirable city core where people invested and a large affordable urban fringe where everyone could live. No principle says everyone should be able to live in San Francisco.

And what would be ideal, in a healthy market, is that housing is sometimes a little overbuilt and becomes a bad investment, then becomes very affordable and a good investment. Sitting at some sort of market equilibrium if you will. Investors consistently winning is bad for affordability, and investors always losing means eventually nobody will build houses and people start having to live outside.

There is no paradox. You either support the right of everybody to peacefully assemble or you do not and if you do not, you don't support freedom of speech.
The FAA is the hindrance, not anyone flying or selling the airplanes.

If you want to talk to the FAA about an engineering approval you're looking at a 6 month lead time before you get an appointment for a meeting. If you are looking to compete with someone who has a similar approval for a similar thing, you can expect them to cancel the first meeting or two inexplicably and stretch it out to a year, maybe two, because you haven't paid the FAA's brother in law engineering firm to keep competitors out, the other guy you're trying to compete with paid them. All the while you pay your fixed costs, salaries, etc out of pocket.

Whatever you bring to the meeting won't be good enough, they'll send you back to change something at least once, even if you copy and paste someone else who has done an identical thing for a marginally different application.

If you run the gauntlet you'll get an approval to make your thing for ONE make/model of airplane. Want to put it on a Piper instead of a Cessna with the exact same engine? Go back to square one, repeat.

This all became the norm when? IP was extended to aircraft modifications, during the Clinton admin when the internet took off.

So you see, it isn't aviation that slowed aviation to an innovative standstill. The tech world's ideas of IP ideas did that. Prior to the advent of IP in aircraft paperwork, it was pretty common to be able to come up with an idea, sketch it out by hand, fly over to the local FAA office, demo it to an FAA engineer on the ramp, and have him help you go forward with it to get it approved. IP took away the motivation to innovate and created a motivation to fight back and forth with lawyers instead. You know... like tech corporations do with software patents.
That's real rate of return, not return on investment
I think this just sidesteps the argument entirely. Yes, everything on Earth is finite. But that doesn't change the fact that nearly an endless supply of cars can be built, whereas you can't build an endless supply of houses. You can maybe build a bunch of apartment buildings to build housing, but those aren't houses.
I think people should not underestimate this.

The presentation is cringeworthy, but VR is very attractive for teenagers and preteens. I know this from personal experience with my kids.

As much as I hate facebook, I do not think this media war against it is organic.
I don't disagree, but will point out that if demand isn't being met in an area, pricing changes won't happen until it is. So there is a LOT of demand for houses in the bay area (for example) that is unmet and people with salaries to pay the really high prices. As people move out it frees up real estate which should, as a trailing indicator, lead to lower prices. It certainly was true during the dot com bust when people moved out in droves.

What? The core aspect of FB/Twitter/etc. is twofold

1. No guaranteed-attention obligation from your circle, so you're free to share more things

2. Algorithms for YOUR attention so you see what you want to see in the order of importance. If you have very little time, you only see the most important things.

Email, Slack etc. are not even in the same category, it's like comparing a postcard to a newspaper headline
I agree that it is a little strange - usually approval of a drug relies on direct evidence from a trial of the health benefit, rather than an indirect estimation. The FDA has estimated the health benefit from observational data for hospitalization and compared it to the health risk the riskiest side-effect, myocarditis This risk also had to be estimated from observational studies in older children.

From the link above:

"FDA conducted a quantitative benefit-risk analysis to evaluate predicted numbers of
symptomatic COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, ICU admissions, and deaths that would be
prevented per million fully vaccinated children 5-11 years of age over a 6-month period, as
compared with predicted numbers of vaccine-associated excess myocarditis cases,
hospitalizations, ICU admissions and deaths per million fully vaccinated children 5-11 years of
age. The model conservatively assumed that the risk of myocarditis/pericarditis associated with
the 10 µg dose in children 5-11 years of age would the same as the estimated risk associated
with the 30 µg dose in adolescents 12-15 years of age from Optum healthcare claims data.
While benefits of vaccination were highly dependent on COVID-19 incidence, the overall
analysis predicted that the numbers of clinically significant COVID-19-related outcomes
prevented would clearly outweigh the numbers of vaccine-associated excess myocarditis cases
over a range of assumptions for COVID-19 incidence. At the lowest evaluated COVID-19
incidence (corresponding to the June 2021 nadir), the predicted number of vaccine-associated
myocarditis cases was greater than the predicted number of COVID-19 hospitalizations
prevented for males and for both sexes combined. However, in consideration of the different
clinical implications of hospitalization for COVID-19 versus hospitalization for vaccineassociated myocarditis, and benefits related to prevention of non-hospitalized cases of COVID19 with significant morbidity, the overall benefits of the vaccine may still outweigh the risks
under this low incidence scenario. If the myocarditis/pericarditis risk in this age group is lower
than the conservative assumption used in the model, the benefit-risk balance would be even
more favorable."

> lower interest rates make houses that are more expensive much more affordable on a monthly basis, which is totally fine as most folks end up with a 30 year fixed rate mortgage

Absolutely false in the long term due to feedback, although it is true in the short term.

With lower interest rates, people bid up the price of houses because they can afford to spend more on their mortgage. The amount spent on mortgage repayments trends towards the same figure as always (approximately as much as your wages allow).

I believe houses are a prime mover of the middle class economy, because it is something most people are willing to “invest” a lot of time working to achieve owning the property they want (often status driven).
"One of" ... I love this site :)
I wouldn't have thought "any publicity is good publicity" would hold even in this case.
Among OECD countries, the United States is mostly middle of the pack. See https://www.oecd.org/officialdocuments/publicdisplaydocument... IOW, these trends are basically global, not specific to the U.S. (Americans always think they're exceptional....)

For example, the U.S. is slightly below average in mortgage debt-to-income. One of the few places that the U.S. stands out is the percentage of home owners--we're second from the top at 40-50%.

Haha, yeah, doctors are pretty terrible. I had neck and jaw pain, and my Chinese-born dentist said “Well, I know how much you Americans like drugs and surgery, and there are some of those that will help, but really you’ll probably be fine if you just get neck and shoulder massages occasionally”

Sure enough, it worked. I was just hurting my neck by using my PDA too much with my neck craned downward, and getting massages/exercise or just not using a mobile device fixed the problem completely

I really lucked out with that guy

The problem being that in order to build houses or cars you need the cooperation of everyone involved - the property owners, the contractors, the municipality. How do you propose to extract this cooperation if it's not forthcoming? Handcuffs?
It was in the 1960s that Los Angeles started to reduce its zoned population capacity from 10 million people down to 4 million. (https://www.lewis.ucla.edu/programs/housing/housing-supply/z...)

When the 15th amendment was passed, Southern states didn't simply allow former slaves to vote; they passed laws that had the intent and effect of denying them the vote. You can't deny a black person the right to vote, but you can deny the vote to everyone who cannot prove that his or her grandfather was a voter, or who cannot pass ambiguous poll tests.

Zoning laws were used to make a similar end-run around the Fair Housing Act. You can't make it illegal to sell a home to a black couple or explicitly exclude them from housing, but you can make it illegal to build any new homes and give the residents and city planning/zoning commissions the political power to block new development and "preserve neighborhood character."

Of course this issue is far murkier nowadays, since everyone has their own reason for opposing new development. Some people erroneously believe that the government limiting the supply of housing when demand is (almost) always increasing will halt "gentrification"/displacement and stop or slow the rise in prices. Others believe their neighborhood should be encased in amber: never changing from the moment they bought in, and believe that they can make traffic better by simply blocking new development, like new residents won't live in further suburbs/exurbs and commute through their area anyway. In areas that passed pants-on-head property tax hike-cap laws (California, Texas), residents now have every incentive to have their local (and very responsive!) government ban all new development and increase their property value since they will no longer have to pay a corresponding increase in property taxes.

Unfortunately, even cities where 60% of the residents are renters can't seem to out-organize or out-vote homeowners, nor does there seem to be an awareness that housing prices are a political choice rather than some immutable fact.
What's the connection between NFTs and using real money to pay for Fortnite skins?
I think we might be in agreement on this - I didn't mean that a house 25% more expensive was more affordable period. I meant it was almost equally affordable after it normalizes. This is a fact a lot of articles and graphs gloss over when they compare simply the top-line numbers.
I recommend watching Black Mirror episose 'White Christmas'. You decide if this is future worth living in.
> As best I could tell, the "blue" terminology is correct Indian English; I would have no qualms about labeling it incorrect American English. No one I've mentioned this to has ever even heard of the term.

Mostly Indian, but I've seen ocassional British reference to blue as an adjective for pornographic movies. Usually not 'blue movie', but "that's too blue for me" or something.

Also, a DVD by mail service originally based in San Francisco, GreenCine, had a sister site, BlueCine, which was porn. Otherwise, never seen it used in American context.
