I wonder if this would help for elliptic integrals. They are notoriously hard to solve, and I keep hitting them in my hobbyist calculations around magnetic fields. This is maybe the best video I've found to make them approachable:

You make a valid point and which is why eye witness evidence is not sufficient.

However combined with what has been otherwise documented, I consider it a possibility we are being visited by aliens.
Would a US President have the necessary clearance to know of the existence of non-human superior technology spacecraft? A former US President is recorded on tape boasting about knowledge of US military plans to invade Iran.

I don't mean to make this political at all, just trying to reason on the basis of a personality and knowing that a president would boast about having knowledge of such trivial classified information - in comparison to the existence of non-human spacecraft; makes me believe that if he was briefed on it he likely would have boasted about it. (and so would I, just imagine what earth shaking news that is.)
You should see what the newspapers of the time looked like after the Titanic sank. Jokes around rich people dying are a classic source of humor in the English language.

Generally the easiest way to be obscenely wealthy and avoid having people celebrate your demise is to make your vanity projects acts of public good. A few of the billionaires of the previous century figured that one out.
This is the paradox of the child in modern society.

In terms of across the board consumption, there is nothing as productive as a modern child. Clothes, consumable goods, travel sports, recreations, hobbies, and diversions all lead straight to the consumption that is so vital to our economy.

And yet, with sicknesses, evening activities, and other problems, there is nothing that disrupts an individual worker's productivity as a child.

I'm not sure I am smart enough to come up with an equation, but, it's in there somewhere to tell us whether a child is a net positive or negative influence on our Economy than the other.
Why isn't this available in Michigan? We are PFAS central. Especially on the western side where I am.
I was utilizing the phrase in it's common usage.

IMHO, the H1B should be abolished, and we should adopt a Canadian style points system that sets a high bar, but once admitted, automatically grants a green card. I think even Hayek himself basically admitted that our worker visa programs were effectively a labor subsidy to megacorps because these workers did not have the same abilities to negotiate and switch companies as others.

Pretty much every woman's writing, brilliant or otherwise, has been ignored for almost the whole of humanity's existence. I think you'll find that quite a lot of it is still ignored.
Rosetta, FWIW, has _never_ been able to run 32bit x86 software, so probably not a great example.

Bootcamp, it's not clear that they really had a choice. AFAIK you can't buy Windows for ARM separately at all (it's OEM only) and in any case it has super-limited hardware support.

I am disappointed that they never replaced the Airport Extreme; it was one of their most "Just Works" products in its day, particularly in an era when consumer wifi routers very much didn't, and I'd have liked to see an Eero-type product from them (Eero is, itself, a fairly "just works" sort of product, mind you).
I would probably give up on cooking if I had to buy a new set of pans every year. That sounds entirely ridiculous. It's seriously not some special gift to be able to cook on a carbon steel, stainless steel, or cast iron pan. I've even trained people who have never cooked before in a single cooking session. Were they perfect right away? Nope. But it isn't that difficult and learned quickly after a few solo attempts
> Every date implicitly exists in a timezone, and if you ignore that ambiguity you’ll get bitten later.

Solid advice, and must come from painful burns. I've been preaching from the same book for a few years now: a timestamp without timezone offset is worse than useless.

Or as the DB expert in previous job so eloquently put it... Timestamp with zone tells you when an event actually happened. A timestamp without zone or offset is equal to wall clock time inside a windowless room, which itself is in an unspecified location somewhere on the planet.

I have heard that gem for about 2 decades now.

When the reality is more cpu/memory usually cleared things up. In the old times a good defrag did not hurt either.

People blame themselves when a lot of the time it is rubish software/hardware.

Then you have the other side of that coin. The yes clickers. If it asks a question just answer it however you need to do for whatever it is you wanted to work. Surprising number of dark patterns on that gem... Then they hand it to you and expect a miracle in 5 mins. Sorry this is the first time I have every seen something like this it may take me a few mins to figure out what is wrong before I can even begin to fix it.
The claim that plane angle, solid angle and logarithms are dimensionless quantities is a horrendous mistake and many generations of physicists have been brainwashed by being taught this aberration without ever stopping to think whether this claim can be proved.

I will discuss only the plane angle, because it is the most important, but the situation is the same for solid angle and logarithms.

The justification commonly given is that the plane angle is dimensionless because it is the ratio of two lengths, the length of the corresponding arc and the length of the radius. This justification is stupid, because that is not the definition of the plane angle, but it already includes the choice of a particular unit.

As formulated. this justification only states the trivial truth that the numeric value of any physical quantity is the ratio between that quantity and its unit. By the same wrong justification, length is dimensionless, because it is the ratio between the measured length and the length of a ruler that is one meter long.

Correct is to say that the plane angle is a physical quantity that has the property that the ratio between two plane angles is equal to the ratio between the lengths of the corresponding arcs.

This is a property of the same nature like the property of voltage that the ratio of two voltages across a linear resistor is equal to the ratio of the electric currents passing through the resistor. This kind of properties are frequently used in the measurement of physical quantities, because few of them are measured directly but in most cases ratios of the quantities of interest are converted in ratios of quantities that are easier to measure.

This property of the plane angle allows the measurement of plane angles, but only after an arbitrary unit is chosen for the plane angle. Because the choice of the unit is completely free, i.e. completely independent of the units chosen for the other physical quantities, the unit of plane angle is by definition a fundamental unit, not a derived unit.

The freedom of choice for the unit of plane angle is amply demonstrated by the large number of units that have been used or are still used for plane angle, e.g. right angle (the unit used by Euclid), sexagesimal degree, centesimal degree, cycle a.k.a. turn, radian.

The fundamental units of plane angle, solid angle and logarithms must never be omitted from the dimensional formulae of the quantities, otherwise serious mistakes are frequent & such mistakes have delayed the progress of physics with many years (e.g. due to confusions between angular momentum & action; the Planck constant is an angular momentum, not an action, as frequently but wrongly claimed). This is a problem especially for the unit of plane angle, which enters in the correct dimensional formulae of a great number of quantities, including some where this is not at all obvious (e.g. magnetic flux).
We want the shiny tech, but if the studying shiny tech is a way to step around appropriations, then there are very powerful people who will want to stop that (Congress), since it threatens the very thing that makes them powerful. Sounds to be more about DC power politics than alien technology.
>I have a family story dating back to ~1969-1970 that either means a bunch of sane family members are completely nuts, or that (in their case, a classic silver "flying saucer") are real, prevalent, and not things that can be prosaically explained.

There is a huge amount of ground between aliens are visiting Earth and your family is nuts. We don't understand a lot of things about our world, doubly so for your average layperson. When we encounter something we can't recognize, we look for patterns and aspects we do recognize. That impacts the way we view things and our memory. There are all sorts of stories about how people's native languages impact the way the view the world for example. Maybe your family saw a "a classic silver flying saucer" or maybe they just saw something they couldn't explain and a "classic silver flying saucer" was the closest thing their brains could come up with.

That is why the potential recovery part of this story is so important. It takes the fallibility of the human brain out of the equitation and would provide direct physical evidence beyond "I saw something that looked weird" level of evidence that we have previously lived in when it comes to UFOs.
What screen reader do you use? As a sighted person with no screen reader experience I tried Apple's VoiceOver on some math heavy Wikipedia pages and found that it completely mangled the formulas there, e.g. not distinguishing between numerator and denominator of fractions, not giving any indication of the difference between a coefficient versus an exponent, pronouncing invisible formatting commands, and so on.

Are there any websites with extensive, complicated mathematical formulas which are accessible to screen reader users? What's the current state of the art?

In general, would you prefer a typeset formula navigable in the usual way by a screen reader, or an explicit English language fallback explicitly pronouncing the formula the way a lecturer would read it to a class?

I ask because from what I can tell there are few if any screen reader users among authors of Wikipedia technical articles. I at least have quite a poor understanding of how to make those articles accessible.

Do you mind if I email you to ask questions about screen readers and mathematical formulas?

And the reason is that you personally want to be superior to others, and the best you can come up with is insulting their hobbies and taste.
You're assuming they've been able to figure anything out and are just sitting on it. If tech from an interstellar craft is here on Earth it's so far beyond anything we can make that we probably don't have a chance of figuring it out. It'd be like the first Europeans to reach America giving the natives guns and asking them to duplicate them, they don't even have the ability to smelt iron so it's just not going to happen and just having a gun isn't going to advance any of their other tech in the least.
First of all, race is a racist concept. Racism is grouping people arbitrarily and assigning attributes to the whole group. All 'races' are arbitrary groupings. It doesn't matter if you are in the group or not. Saying "all Italians this and that" is racist discourse. Cultural appropriation is a racist concept. Why on Earth should only a certain group of people be allowed this or that? We're all humans, we're all allowed all hairstyles, foods, clothes, languages etc. We all have individual strengths and shortcomings that have squat to do with which group anyone assign us to. And the best food in the world is Italian.
I agree though I’d say non-technical people are naive and so don’t know why the experience is not ideal or fun or smooth. I suspect if asked the right questions, non-technical people would also complain.

Computers have always been just useful enough for as long as I’ve used them (since the 80s). We’ve _always_ put up with a lot of nonsense and pain because the alternative is worse.
There's a lot in modern day life that seems to depend on an endless supply of naive young folk who don't yet realize they're being taken advantage of yet. They have that belief that their situation will be different.

It's one of those things you can't tell people either, they have to experience it unfortunately, so the cycle continues.

Not sure how you fix that beyond regulation / protection for those folks.

Lots of people look from a supply perspective. There's significant and growing political appetite for broad rezones and liberalization of housing rules.

However regardless of near term future policy that would enable more home development, interest rate hikes have soured the lending environment and caused housing development to plunge.

It may well be that we don't have enough construction workers too.
To add, the reason most computers are behind is usually a mentality of "if it aint broke dont fix it"

Bud Light is not in “serious trouble”. They are a brand owned by a multinational beverage conglomerate.

But that’s beside the point. Whether or not these corporations are pro or anti LGBT depends on which way the wind is blowing today. It’s not fundamental to their business, so they don’t deeply care about your opinions on the matter. Try talking about something more fundamental, like labor rights, and you’ll quickly see the difference.
The article mentions Amazon Linux. AFAIK, Amazon Linux is built from Fedora.

This move is largely aimed at Oracle Linux, I guess.
I would say it could be an issue, but is controlled for. The Quest Interface has a special cautionary statement for phlebotomists collecting samples for this test that says; "Note: Sample collection devices coated with PTFE/Teflon® and PVDF should be avoided because of potential specimen contamination."

I am dead aware of the connotations. Though, I expect people on HN to focus more on definitions than connotations; the latter is a very approximate tool to grasp ideas, and only the simplest ones).

So, I don't use the word eugenics on its own. UNLESS someone says, "oh, this is eugenics" - as a catch-all argument against a thing. For example, the Polish government banned abortions in most cases, including serious fetal defects. It used to be one of a few exceptions, among the mother's health or life being in immediate danger. The government phrased it as "a ban on eugenic abortions". Yes, by all means, these abortions are eugenic - so to argue otherwise would be dishonest. Yet, this is one of the cases where the majority of the population (even in a religiously conservative country such as Poland) would be in favor.

Is this really not an elaborate troll?

Arguing that a literal mathematical equivalence (e^ix = e^2piix) that you then use to “redefine“ trig functions so you can reformulate physics to mitigate making errors dividing my a constant is completely absurd.

In situations when there are strings involving 2pi where this makes any kind of sense typically a new constant is introduced to incorporate it.
I really like the "Here's what's not changing" section. Honorable mention for Twilio. Also, the kind of platform companies where you sign up and play tend to get acquired and become the kind where you sign up and a sales person calls you!
Sure, but that's orthogonal to the "angles don't really have units" assertion and the "it does make sense to add an angle to its cube" assertion, which are the ones I'm responding to.

As another example for the second assertion, you can compute e(-t) via power series too, adding seconds to seconds squared and seconds cubed, etc, which comes up all the time. But that doesn't mean `dimensionless + seconds + seconds^2` implies seconds are dimensionless any more than sin's series with `angle + angle^3` implies that angles are dimensionless.
Though if you watch Coco I think you should also watch Book of Life. Book of Life got somewhat ignored in the box office because it wasn't Pixar, but of the two had far more Mexican/Mexican-American creative talent involved behind the scenes (not that I'm accusing Pixar of appropriation, but there are some questions to be had there if you are feeling cynical), tells the more complete cultural story, and I think is very much the better movie.
I chose those because they are ubiquitous and downright hard to avoid. What do you want to bet OP made that post on a Chrome browser? Or an Android/iPhone/Macbook?

Hmmm. Wikipedia agrees with you that it's a solid. But the explanation of why it's not a fluid is handwavey; their strongest claim seems to be that experiments show that it doesn't flow on any reasonable timescale. But presumably that's at standard temperature and pressure; the article doesn't mention the conditions.

Your example of World Driver Championship is important; It had a custom RDP microcode implementation to achieve that. The RDP microcode implementations Nintendo distributed were pretty mediocre, either being very slow but accurate, or fast and too inaccurate, even for 3D games. Some of the most impressive games on the console were only achieved by implementing custom microcode, which was excessively difficult because Nintendo refused to distribute resources to help do so, despite that being an intended use of the console's hardware.

Another huge problem in rasterization was that pretty much all graphics resources had to be in a 4kb texture cache to be rasterized, and unless you micromanaged that cache really effectively (and it was cut in half if you wanted certain RDP features!) that cache constantly had the wrong data, and this would slow everything down. If they had given it just a bit more cache for textures, it likely would have been much closer to it's claimed peak performance in normal usage.
Nope. What Grease helps show is how boys are allowed to be covert about it, while girls are expected to be more, shall we say, circumspect.

Ester bonds are not usually dangerous. Wait until you find out what all the natural and synthetic flavorants inside your food are!

As far as polyesters go, the main cause for concern is the endocrine disrupting effect of polyethylene terephthalate[1] and the inability of PET to be broken down completely, leading to microplastic pollution. By contrast, PLA can be broken down by heat or a select number of micro-organisms, and the lactic acid monomer used to produce it is non-toxic. The polymer is formed by a simple condensation reaction to form ester linkages, releasing water. Esters are a very common and generally benign moiety found everywhere in nature, for example in cutin found in plants, forming the rigid exterior of cells exposed to the elements. [2]
