This is John Cleese, one of the world's most famous comedians, making a legitimate statement in his own words, on a fairly salient current issue.

Goofy stuff. But then, so is the blind adoration and acceptance of everything the government says about the vaccine. We live in a time where 95% of the population is going to act based simply on their tribe. Almost no one is capable of any kind of fair, rational evaluation of the available data anymore. Why bother when there's money to be made, fame to be won, and, if nothing else, followers to impress on social media?

Vietnam is not a strategic competitor of the United States so we pretend it's different.

That's why I threw the qualifiers like "usually" in there. I doubt Cosby would have much of an audience or desire to tour even if none of that occurred.
Rock’s absorption of neutrons doesn’t matter. Neutron thermalize. Since rock has mostly low atomic weight isotopes, it thermalizes them very well [1]. Once they are thermal they scatter easily.

Gauss’ law is for the electric field. The magnetic field is very difficult to block and we have incredibly sensitive magnetometers (probably ones that can detect magnetic anomalies of a submarine from space)

In fact, thats pretty much how deep submarine communication works very low frequency fields. Thats why I proposed a magnet: a basically static field that cant be blocked.

Is my proposal practical? Well, typically not. But if the alternative is neutron communication, I dont see why not.

[1] to a first approx think of thermalizing as momentum exchange upon collision. If you’re similar in mass to the colliding mass you’ll exchange more momentum. Assuming rock is mostly silicon, w/ a mass 28 times larger than a neutron. And there’s at least a km of rock above miners.

[2] throttle a reactor to modulate neutron? Oh boy!

EDIT: actually the crust is mostly oxygen, atomic mass 16. That only strengthens my argument.

>Mounted on an inside superstructure are about 13,000 photomultiplier tubes that detect light from Cherenkov radiation. A neutrino interaction with the electrons or nuclei of water can produce an electron or positron that moves faster than the speed of light in water, which is slower than the speed of light in a vacuum. This creates a cone of Cherenkov radiation light, the optical equivalent to a sonic boom. The Cherenkov light is recorded by the photomultiplier tubes
Not any less than before really.

I echo a lot of comments here that low-code/no-code isn't a recent movement. I think the one exciting trend that I've noticed among the historical instances of this like Lotus Notes, Microsoft Access, SharePoint Sites, etc is that they are very exciting to business users and hence gain massive adoption, which eventually turns into universal revulsion by IT at having to maintain these massive numbers of specialized apps and makes for a very difficult transition.

Seems potentially lucrative if you can build a successful business around one.

Ah I see, thanks for clarifying. I had missed the subtle distinction in your comment between "interact with" and "read": I treated them as synonymous, when in fact you were referring to the interaction that is confined to actively editing (i.e., for Knuth, "typing up" the edits he has already made on paper).

About the more perfect LP system, I agree it would be nice if the input format was designed to be the suitable way to read programs: in other words, there would be no "weave" step. [Aside: should this input format be plain text? Maybe notebooks like Wolfram's or "nbdev" count?]

The idea of having the markup in the comments is instead related to eliminating the "tangle" step. (I think there are some LP-related tools that do this; one I know is Harold Thimbleby's "warp": http://www.harold.thimbleby.net/cv/files/warp.pdf — but the structured comments are in (ugh) XML. See also Visual Studio's XML comments…. He also has a later "relit" that does "reverse" LP, extracting source code out of the intended-for-publication format.)

(These goals are indeed sort of opposites, but can be reconciled: I guess we can agree that the ultimate would be a format that eliminated both the tangle and weave steps!)

(My reason for wishing eliminating the "tangle" step (and/or enabling going back from the tangled document to the LP input format) is simply an acknowledgement of network effects: LP is unlikely to ever catch on enough to be the majority, so there needs to be a way for a random programmer using their preferred IDE/editor to edit a "literate" program without getting too annoyed.)

I read Raskin's article and it has good complaints about IDEs, and (although I don't see a close connection) I think I understand what you're suggesting as the ideal language/programming environment. But for me, because of the "LP will never be mainstream" belief, I'm still thinking of targeting mainstream languages, with "code" and "comments". :-) Anyway, this part from Raskin's article is particularly inspiring and quotable:

> …the result was very readable and maintainable. To achieve this, we had regular code-reading sessions in which one programmer read and commented on each piece of code written by another programmer. In addition, an expert documenter/writer worked alongside the programmers. If he did not understand a piece of code, he would interview the programmers until he could write a cogent explanation.

> Incidentally, many bugs and conceptual errors were discovered during this process, which more than paid for itself in decreased debugging time. Some programmers balked at the procedures at first, but all came to be enthusiastic when the project did not slow or founder as completion neared. The project was on time, on budget, and bugless (meaning that the software was released commercially to tens of thousands of users and produced no bug reports).

Yes . Non citizens can run us based companies as long as they do that from outside the US.
If they want to come to the US to run their US based company, then they have to decide on a visa. There is E2 which is a business based visa but only for certain countries. H1-B is essentially a skilled worker visa and it is assumed that you would have a company and a boss who would file for that visa.
Some US states also have militias that are wholly controlled by the state and not able to be called up by the federal goverment.

It is funny to add other languages to this discussion. To wit, I'm reminded of the article regarding someone learning clojure where their coworker left them a note that read "just use a hashmap!"

That’s not quite it. He was a very successful comedian and a big name in the industry. Imagine a titan of industry in your field asking you the same thing - you might go along with it out of fear that you’d face repercussions in your career if you said no. Sure it’s not assault, but it’s still coercive and unsettling.

Conversely, going to a social kink meetup and asking people to watch you masturbate would be totally fine. That’s a different situation - there’s no career dynamic involved.

Absolutely, but there are so many people in the USA that are excluded from the ability to obtain a credit card - even a secured one - that debit cards are a god send to us.

Both Cash App and Venmo sent me debit cards without requiring any ID.

> Some US states also have militias that are wholly controlled by the state and not able to be called up by the federal goverment.

Since the unorganized, universal militia can be called up by the federal government, in any groupings or manner Congress chooses to adopt, that's not true.

Some states have organized militia or military reserve forces that aren't part of the federal military reserve system the way the National Guard is, though.
That sounded a lot like U-235 or U-238 (I only know that because of Dan Brown's book where "the difference is three", for those that get that reference, so that's like my level of physics understanding right there). Not sure how to get to Californium's radioactive, um, configurations, I typed U-235 into Wikipedia, found a link to "isotopes of" which listed all of Uranium's, then near the bottom was a handy table with all the "isotopes of" links to other elements, Californium's code is apparently Cf so I found the right link and... 252 has a note saying "most common"! I think I get your reference :D but also, while typing this I realized I probably took the long way of getting there... indeed, re-opening the article, it's also right there, heh.
Snakebites and Covid-19: two crises, one research and development opportunity
I've been doing stock without ta and got 100% / year.

While I only started in 2017 ( and crypto got me 3 years worth of doubling in 6 months). I wouldn't change my strategy for 1/3rd and watching daily.

I also get out when I think it's the wrong moment. Eg. I only vested 30% now ( at least until end of December). And no, i don't do crypto anymore, got out at 18 k around end of 2017.

? Roseann Bar, TJ Miler, Louis CK, Kathy Griffin, Kevin Hart was cancelled from the Oscars although his career will probably be fine.

Probably only a single Comedian in the entire world, Dave Chapelle, would have walked the line he did and gotten away with it. The backlash against his Netflix special would have probably tilted against any lesser person, and that would have been it for their careers.

No regular comedian could conceivably try to do that without enormous risk, and that's the point here.

I don't think that comedy is a particularly bad place for cancellation, it's the rest of entertainment and pop culture.
Can someone tell me more about how the predefined Game of Life patterns came to be? It it fascinating to me that these have names that people remember.

Logistically, fail-safes are expensive. Keeping a fire burning for days and years takes a lot of firewood, which in turn requires manpower. Having two fires also places limitations on the distance they can be due to the angular resolution of the human eye. That'd be anywhere from 5-10 miles on basic assumptions. A signal fire can be seen from farther if you have the elevation and a smoke signal doesn't even require that (+ carries more information).

If the software adds pixels to the image than it has made a material change to the picture. Defense has a right to call the prosecution to prove that the zoom effect does not alter the picture.

This. I'm so tired of so many comments on Reddit that go something like "Exchange circuit breakers stop trading if a major index drops 15%, this would be 45% with 3x leverage meaning it's impossible for the ETF to hit zero." This is false for the reasons you mention above and has happened to leveraged ETFs in the past. No one seems to care though.
Even though you didn’t provide ID, I assume you provided a name, address, and other info they could use to perform KYC (Know your customer), no?
Humans … or I should say, modern humans have a bias towards consciousness structured as language. So yeah, it doesn’t normally occur to people that mind-to-mind contact can come in other forms. Among the (obviously non-techie) friends and communities who experiment and cultivate skills like these, using a visual channel for communicating with animals, plants, and insects is a thing. One example I heard, was a shaman telling me how she communicated to her dog that they will be gone a few days. Dog don’t understand clock time like we (modern humans) do. Dogs do understand the rising and setting of the sun though. Three of the rising and setting sun would be three days.

In the visionary shamanic community, we might call these intelligences animal, plant, or insect teachers.

Spiders have a special, very profound medicine. Many beings are afraid of them, and moving through that fear is part of the test to learn from the spider teacher. There is something similar with snakes. The venom is transformative.

I noticed too that you talk about pioneer plants and you seemed to have skill at foraging. I’ll make a bold assertion that’s out of place for this forum: I think that a civilization that are organized around local food resiliency and sovereignty using such things as permaculture design can free up the time for humans to really explore consciousness. It requires time and awareness and not better machines and technology.

Adding boundary conditions can be very interesting also. Ive played with things like stitching the field into a torus or klein bottle. You can end up with unique repeating patterns not otherwise possible.
> “This user might very well have somewhere on the order of $2,000 of debit card transactions a month. This implies about $300 a year in interchange revenue”

There seems to be a mistake in the math above. It’s not $300 a year in interchange revenue. It would be closer to $12.

Interchange in the US for credit going to an issuer is around 125 bps (and that correlates to the $300 calculation).

But the US is highly regulated on debit and interchange is around just 5 bps for debit. Making the yearly debit interchange revenue to be ~$12.

Which means this account holder in the illustrative example is still a net loss for the issuer.

EDIT: I just finished reading the article. It’s even called out at the end of the post that debit interchange is much lower. I’m confused now how patio11 did his original math knowing he’s aware of Durbin.
agreed. transition from classes to hooks and useEffect was confusing at first but it now seems very predictable and sensible (does get a little hairy when you have one effect dependent on another).

Louis CK is 'cancelled'.

To think that 'he does some shows' means he's not 'cancelled' would be to miss the point.

Whether he deserved to be cancelled or not is another question - but he had is shows cancelled, TV show bookings, roles, future roles, any mention in pop culture outside of his cancellation etc..

When you make a career out of appearing 5 times a year on nightly talk shows, daytime TV, the occasional SNL, TV role - and then all of that 'goes away' - then that's what we call 'cancelled'.

Louis CK was a tricky one because he did something questionable, that said, the details are also kind of odd and there's nuance to it.
