The "life" of a human being is categorized as 5 different energies, each having a specific function. (Pancha Pranas).
Death is seen as a process where these energies exit the body in a certain sequence over a period of time.
It is said that it is possible to reverse this process till a certain point with intervention.
A small extract on what these 5 energies are:

My assumption as someone not formally trained in advanced biology is that the phylogenetic tree has an implied arrow of time, and each node of the tree is a point where a mutation occurred that was sufficient to create a new and separate family/order/genus/etc afterwards, with leaf nodes representing species.

In this sense a cycle can’t occur because a branch would need to reach back in time and rejoin with an ancestral branch. It would be a different kind of grandfather paradox: who would be the ancestor and who the descendant in a cycle?

Maybe someone could help point out the flaws in this model.
Thanks for the explanation, I saw the formula in the OP for pricing it and it seemed like using that simple formula, the price should be infinity. I came to ask about that and your comment answered the would-be question. Thanks!
Thank you, the importance of letting me know cannot be understated
The argument you present is also a tautology on the prexisting label on the bounds of a "flower" (note the error is in the context you are using the quote, the quote is awesome)

Faced with a field of flowers the technology to examine them in detail and without existing schema to bias, it is unlikely a flower in isolation could be considered a single organism, thier roots meld and many organisms require each other for metabolic and reproductive processes to succeed, it seem most likely to consider the he entire field a single organism in the sense you are reaching for.

Is xi Jinping’s grip on power really that strong? Is there no chance the CCP can vote to remove him and change course? I doubt all of them feel great about returning to a new Mao-like era when the more economically free system was clearly pleasant enough.

These same draconian measures were how China supposedly weathered the initial spread of COVID well if those reports are to be believed, and even if you don't it's the party line. Given that, it would seem more likely that they'll double down since "this worked before."

Along these same lines, crushing dissenters is also something the government has much experience with, and has also "worked before" in the worst ways. I don't hold out much hope in terms of anti-government movements taking root and actually effecting change.

A lot of companies have seen margin expansion since the pandemic, supply/demand has been way out of balance and their input costs have forced price increases anyway.

Using these retailers as examples and quoting profits in absolute terms is dishonest though, they were massive benefactors of policy recently and grew in absolute terms, with percent margins being much more mixed. Lockdowns drove business to them by shutting down competitors, easy monetary policy favors them, and they are the ecommerce winners. There are lots of B&M and other consumer companies that have been crushed recently, Kohl's being one easy example.

It's very likely we'll see their margins drop over the next year. Predicting inflation is just about impossible, but prices are likely to keep going up, and future price hikes won't be into the sort of consumer spending strength that was the case last year.

Some in the west certainly have labelled it that. There's quite a number of humanitarian crises going on at the moment, as have been over the past few years (and basically forever). Western leaders don't get up in the morning and recite lists of them.

Tankage is for anything: Liquified ammonia (stored at environment temperature under light compression. Liquified hydrogen. Liquified nitrogen. Gaseous hydrogen, underground, where geology favors it. Maybe liquified methane or kerosene, if you can synthesize that.

Perhaps surprisingly, round-trip efficiency matters a lot less than other things, for storage not drawn down often. And, it matters a lot less everywhere than only a short time ago, because top-line generating capacity has got so cheap, you can just build out enough more of that to make up the difference. If your liquified hydrogen is slowly boiling away, you just top up your tanks now and again.

The important difference from batteries I call attention to is that in batteries, you can only store exactly as much energy as you buy expensive batteries to keep it in. But for synthetic chemicals (and liquified nitrogen), the only expensive parts are what you use to synthesize them in, and maybe the way you get the energy back. Those capacities are measured in watts. Saying tankage is cheap is to note that there is no upper limit on the amount of tankage you can have, and the watt-hours you can bank; your bottleneck is only the conversion rate.

This is all aside from the fact that tankage can be shipped, both out, generating revenue from excess generating capacity, and in, if local storage gets drawn down too far.

So, batteries will be used for short-term storage. Iron-air battery factories are under construction, and those will be much cheaper than lithium, and will be used, but however much cheaper they are than other batteries, they cannot match empty tankage.
I think this is the manifestation of the current inflationary environment. Anything fungible and easily transferable is gaining value because no one wants to hold dollars right now.
It's been quite a while since I used this trick, but at the end of the day I used to put a deliberate compile error in the code where I was last working. So the next morning I'd compile the code and fixing that error was kind of a warm up to get to the right spot and keep going.

> Retaining new grads beyond a year or two is notoriously difficult.

surely it's not that difficult:

the value to an employer of a, er, "lightly-used second hand" grad with +1-2 years of real world engineering experience is dramatically higher than that of a completely green new grad. if an employer takes the initiative to award market-rate anchored raises commensurate with the value a junior engineer with 1-2 years of experience can produce, wouldn't that solve most of the problem?

(or do junior engineers often switch jobs for reasons entirely unrelated to employers not offering market-rate salary progression? )

These are unrelated things.

The reason bank run collapses are a thing is that the deposits aren't just sitting there as cash in the vault. Banks invest the deposits and those can't always be liquidated quickly and efficiently in case of a bank run.

If the bank doesn't have enough collateral to borrow the needed cash, the bank is forced to do firesales which is not the best business strategy. Nobody will lend you money when you're selling off your property at a huge discount.

The objection that the GP raised, the lack of a check that the result includes all of the elements of the input, is not needed under your notion of a system that works according to its specification, as according to that specification it is a loop invariant. It is also not useful, as it is an infinite loop. Your view of why cosmic ray sort is not a proper sort therefore contradicts GP's explanation, even if you share the GP's conclusion. My question was aimed at further exploring the GP's view; I think an opposing view does not help here.

"Affirmative action" is obviously an Orwellian propaganda term. The correct description is quotas for the groups currently favoured by the blob.

Because they are accessible examples of things that many people have been enculturated to perceive as communities that are more reasonably interpreted as single organisms.

The logic that would lead to thier classification as a "community" if applied evenly would force us to consider every multicellular organism a "community".

Not sure what any of this has to do with web 2.0.

Bad UI is bad UI. Could be web 2.0, could be an app, could be web 3.

Have you seriously not heard about using different browsers for different accounts on the same site ? Many Androids will even let you install the same app twice to use different credentials.

So basically, a lot of software is badly designed, coded, and unsafe. Yep. And apparently people are trying to blame "the web" for that ?

BTW, there's no way to navigate your blog now ? That's good design ?
Disclosure: I worked at GM/Cruise, opinions are my own.

Right now, most cars are human-driven, and this fact will remain true for the foreseeable future. When there is a larger share driven by just computers, a standard will likely emerge, but to build that now would just be a distraction from making the self-driving cars safer in the presence of human drivers.

No, I haven't read Graeber's book. This was The Grip of Death: A Study of Modern Money, Debt Slavery, and Destructive Economics by Michael Rowbotham. From memory, the title is derived from the literal meaning of the term 'mortgage'.

It wasn't a book that I sought out. I just happened to be traveling at the time and was asked to return it to it's owner, so read it on the plane. I can't remember enough of the specific substance of the book to make a definitive recommendation but I can say that I remember it being very engrossing and will always appreciate that it broadened my interest in economics at the time (coincidentally I had just finished my studies in economics that year).

One aspect of this that i'm hoping a more informed person can comment on:

Are the news reports of anger by shanghai residents directed against the national or provincial(?) government? From what I previously read Shanghai was discussed as a factional stronghold not wholly subservient to the national government (to Xi). That being the case i've been curious if these draconian measures have been imposed from the national level meant to weaken that faction's provincial support?

Given the numbers of deaths being so low and not having read about overwhelmed hospitals, these almost seem like own-goals by the chinese government? But a factional dispute would explain it, in my mind. Does anyone have any better data?

Although one does wonder how much this is face-saving by him and/or the Air Force who don't want to blame a guy for what likely cost over half a million dollars, if not more. There's the cost of all the labor, the canopy, downtime for the jet, and then those seats cost roughly over $200k each and while I imagine they might get sent back to M-B for refurbishment rather than just being chucked, ehhh: https://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/397m-for-172-martinbake...

> If technology x is replaced by a superior technology y, then technology x naturally goes “extinct.”

That is a gross simplification. Monopolies have a perverse incentive to crush superior technology that might otherwise supplant them. The electric car is just one example. Superior technology does not automatically achieve widespread adoption. If it were that easy nobody would need advice or venture capital.
Security is measured in resources. Money is the best one but its often hard to put a $ figure on things, especially when you are making a standard for everyone, so often people will use cpu time instead.

Has anyone made this easy to work with for non-Latin alphabets? I basically want the configurator tool to read an XKB layout and give me the labels I'd get when typing with those keycodes.

I've got myself Moonlander, and when I started to configure it, I realised that this is an uphill battle: I need to configure both base layer and the keyboard layout in software (there is no keycode for Cyrillic D or ZHE: so they've got some random keycodes for ASCII keyboards).

Add in any customisation I might want, and this turned into a full monthlong project.
