Thank you for this reply. I am happy to see a supportive comment here. Yes, I am updating on this just for others to be aware of this possibility. I was trying to solve this for a year already, and now Packt Team just stopped communicating with me whatsoever. I did not publish a book for money, and the amount of royalties is not life-changing for me, like with any other authors. But still, I don’t yet see this way of operations correct. The company is getting profits from my work, and I am devoid of my share until further notice. I am still getting quarterly notifications with outstanding amounts, but I can not do anything with them.

I share this to see if anyone ever experienced such situations, and to warn any upcoming authors with Russian nationality of potential issues.

Packt team were very supportive in the process of writing and releasing the book, and I had a good overall experience with them. And they always been on the line with me for any questions, till the last few weeks.

Author was the guest of honour for the opening panel of a book festival. An influencer was also present on the panel, and was expected to converse with the author. The influencer promoted herself instead of conversing the author. People who were there to learn about the author got outraged and demanded the influencer to apologize. The influencer apologized. The author says he wasn't offended, and doesn't think there was anything wrong.

Right, so my point that Canada taxes those who are living outside their boarder stands.

And the US has tax treaties with other countries as well, so if you pay taxes in say Japan or Canada you do not pay taxes in America as well. Unless you make over 150k a year, then you only pay the marginal difference.

This is probably the case. I hope that I will receive such information. As of now, I can’t find any communication from Packt that indicates that exact reason.
The real question to be asking is, why don’t you see more ads for big time things? The most effective advertising is for cars, beverages, etc. Are you seeing those ads on YouTube?

The ads you see tell you a lot about the effectiveness of the ads. Or at least they tell you about how effective ad-buyers perceive the ads to be.

If ad buyers thought that YouTube ads actually worked, you would see big time companies buying YouTube ads. You would also see fewer ads selling at higher prices.

The fact that YouTube ads are so garbage is an indicator that their perceived effectiveness is terrible. Therefore the ads have to be sold for low prices. And low priced ads bring in all sorts of low budget scams who couldn’t afford to buy better placements.

Also, a lot of these ads, despite being obvious scams, are not actually illegal in a lot of places. If the law doesn’t force a company like Google to turn away dollars, they aren’t going to turn them away.

Also, I think this difference in ads at least partially explains some of the different attitudes of younger generations. For example, young people do not seem to be as in love with cars as older generations. The anti-car pro-environment movement is getting strong. You have to think that young people watching YouTube instead of broadcast TV, and not being inundated with car ads, has something to do with that.

There’s a lot more going on here beneath the surface.

Without being present there, I can't analyze actual execution of the test, but test methodology can still be evaluated.

Playing A & B samples and asking which one is better/original requires much more from the listener that just hearing a difference between the two. It is possible to hear the difference, but not know which is which as that requires additional knowledge.

To avoid this issue you could:

Play (in random order) original twice and processed once and asking which one was different/processed.

Or play two sequences (in random order), [original, original] and [original, processed] and ask, if processed was in the first or second sequence.

Second option might focus better on short-term memory, because it has shorter sequences (2 samples vs 3 samples per sequence).

This would produce a better measurement of whether the difference is audible or not.

"Why are foreign investors likely to accept shares in your business denominated in, say, Rupiyah?"

Because if that country wants to sell their stuff to you, that would their only option - other than taking Rupiyah directly.

And if your country doesn't do it, then some other country will - because new sources of demand don't come by every day.

That's how you avoid a 'debt trap' and the debt prison that comes from countries not being able to go bankrupt.

Not sure why you can't draw the parallel. For me it is all group-think type of thinking "we need to make something about it". Sure, some situations are more justified than others, but to me this all reminds of the same kind mentality.

Climate activists destroying paintings, making micro or macro aggression will annoy people more than focus on the problem of climate. I think most of the people already know about climate problem. Destroying painting will not make people go out from their homes and protest.

Honestly, I learned everything from YT tutorials - just the basic stuff to get a grasp of how those infamous widget trees work. Most of my learning came from a guy called Mitch Koko. The official Flutter channel is also excellent.

When it comes to libraries, I would recommend sticking with built-in features for tasks like image loading or parsing. This actually works quite well, and there's no need to delve into external solutions, especially for prototyping. Dart's factory methods come in handy for parsing JSON from an API, and the internal HTTP package is also very well done (for more advanced stuff there is a package called dio).

The main challenge lies in state management. Be sure to choose the right external stuff. The 'bloc' package seems to be the state of the art at the moment, but if you prefer something simpler, Provider is the way to go.
The need for other libraries may become apparent after spending some time on the project.

Flutter is a great choice for quick prototyping. You can build something in a matter of minutes. Many people prefer this way over launching Figma, which says a lot :)
I too was wondering where these people are that discuss the morality of their car choices with each other.

> I'm aware the Haskell designers like category theory, and so yes, the question boils down to the degree of influence of category theory on particular language features.

So, if only a segment of Haskell's language design is based on Category Theory (CT), and only a fraction of popular programming languages are based on Haskell, then this percentage, possibly in the single digits for a given mainstream language, is too minor for you to consider it a valid application of CT. That's a valid perspective; I'll leave it at that.

> Still, to your last point, the existence of an equivalence doesn't automatically count as an application of all sides of the equivalence. ... The practitioners have to adopt that framing or rely on theorems proved via the math ...

I really don't agree with your definition of application. If I have an equivalence between three different concepts - types, propositions, and objects within CCC, then, in my viewpoint, you don't need to explicitly consider your application of a concept in the other two fields for it to be recognized as an application. To me, that's akin to saying that you can only do math in a certain way, exactly how mathematicians portray it in their textbooks. If you don't know that because you learned math more indirectly, like from programming blogs with code snippets that encapsulate the same definitions, then, according to that view, you won't be doing applied math.

To me, it simply boils down to a different perspective on the term application, one that isn't specifically about CT.

> Automated theorem verification may use category theory (does it?), and I'd love to talk to the main contributors to Lean

I have listen to some podcasts with the main contributors and creators of Lean. Lean is based on (Lean's kernel) homotopy type theory (a flavor of type theory – specifically of intensional dependent type theory).

> most traction among average mathematicians

Yes. Many math graduate students are using Lean to apply concepts from textbook math, such as HoTT, which has a strong connection to Category Theory. Basically, you can't read the HoTT book without knowing CT, and can then apply it in Lean. I think this would even satisfy your definition of applied math.

> Why do you need a SaaS to handle your auth, mailing, database, and logging?

There's absolutely no reason to require SaaS to handle database & logging, but:

1. For mail, in 2023, it's a defacto requirement, for any app. Sure you can do it yourself, but handling spam filters will be a challenge. Defaulting to SaaS on this is extremely defensible.

2. For auth, in 2023, rolling your own auth that is secure & offers decent MFA is a similarly daunting task. Would it be nice if they offered an optional local auth backend, maybe. Would it be nicer if they offered a choice of multiple SaaS backends, definitely. But it's ultimately pretty defensible.

3. It seems to me the DB can be local sqlite / libsqld (looks primarily aimed at dev envs but at least it's an option).

On aggregate though you're right, this does seem excessively SaaS-y.
The current HMD models are being manufactured by Foxconn in China and there's also a wide range of Foxconn middleware running on the phones.

Can someone explain why any one given lender wouldn't just say "fuck you, pay me"?

In the broad sense I understand - if paying would cause a going concern for the lendee, the le der would rather get something tether than nothing.

But in this case, the article even said the wework has cash on hand and a credit line. Why wouldn't any one given lender try to cash out in full and run for the doors, and leave all the other lenders who renegotiated holding the bag? Simply get a legal order forcing wework to pay in full while they still have the ability to (even if it meant paying YOU in full would make it so they wouldn't be able to pay OTHERS later).
>This is business at truest and most raw form. Its easily one of my favourite parts of capitalism where you get as close to nature as you can in a civilised world.

Considering it has a lot to do with how much money you have to throw at lawyers, and arbitrary things like how well staffed the courts are with judges, my characterization would be anything but “close to nature”.
Well, my definition of "understanding" includes, among other things, the capability to have a large and robust mental model of a specific concept, not just access to all human writing about it and the capability to rephrase and summarize that.

Of course that's a spectrum, and sometimes the distinction is not all that important. Sometimes the summary is exactly what helps somebody out in a given moment. Even a human can give you good advice without understanding what they are talking about!

This is rarely a solid argument for doing anything in & of itself. Even less so when security is involved.
That's true, but 13 or 14 years ago, the NoSQL hype was calling for widespread abandonment of RDBMSs. They were claiming key-value stores and document databases would replace traditional relational databases the same way Reddit replaced Digg. That "MongoDB is web scale" video was lampooning the very real hype that people had, and how difficult it was to pick through it. It was as bad as the more recent blockchain hype.

Even looking at HN's reactions to that video show a few comments that did not age very well (although most of them did): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1636198

The sensible takes were that NoSQL would supplement and enhance RDBMSs, but the hype was much more than that.

Depression -> comfort eating/alcohol -> weight gain -> depression.

Doesn't matter what initiates the cycle, but once you're in it, it's very hard to get out. You're not likely to manage to 'just exercise more'/'just eat less' once the depression sets in.

It's easy to not be too bothered to begin with, when you're just 'a bit fat' and 'mildly depressed', but the problems can slowly build up year upon year until you're morbidly obese and having regular thoughts of suicide.

Sedendary screen-based jobs don't help, neither does work-related stress. And the Covid period (lockdowns/WFH/isolation) put the cycle into overdrive for some.

These new drugs are a possible escape from that cycle, significantly reducing the willpower required to eat less.
> I still would place money on most of the change has been about car size (sedan -> SUV) vs car type (ICE -> EV).

That might be true in the US, but the weight issue exists in Europe too. For instance we are going to soon trade our minivan (1.7t, 3,700lb) to an ID.Buzz (2.5t, 5,000lb) — officially that car is the replacement for the car we currently have. If you go from a VW Golf (1.3t, 2,800lb) to an ID.3 (1.9t, 4.100lb) you can see that it's not helped by picking a smaller EV. The ID.3 is heavier than our Minivan!

Scams on marketplaces (ads or Amazon or the App Store) parasitize the buyers/viewers and legitimate sellers/advertisers but are symbiotic with the marketplace itself. This creates strong incentives for some PM with the goal of “make number go up” to torpedo any “clean up the marketplace” efforts if they make the number go down- and in the short term all such efforts will make the number go down because these scams are basically exchanging platform trust for revenue today.
