Wikipedia is mostly a success of the many, both with the many contributing content and editing and by the many contributing the funds to operate. If it wouldve been funded by someone like gates, it'd be a corrupt for profit ad ridden platform. Not because gates is evil, mind you, it's because gates bias leads him to believe for profit enterprises are the solution for everything.

So:

- you're willingly ignoring other platforms that Apple has and that are more important to Apple than Mac

- you're willingly ignoring the fact that Apple never care d about gaming on Macs

- you're pretending that gaming success is predicated on supporting Vulkan even though huge gaming platforms never supported Vulkan, and are successful

But sure. Apple absolutely must support Vulkan on Macs because they are losing out or something.

> But my point was to tell you that Vulkan is the only one of "supreme" APIs which is most cross platform, modern, supported by gaming and graphics forerunners(valve, rockstar, nintendo)

1. As if Apple (or anyone really, see Microsoft and Sony) cared about it being crossplatform and modern

2. There are thousands of game developers, and a very small number of those "forerunners" care about Vulkan.

> What should [Khronos] have done?

Not sit on their asses until it was two late. Both DirectX 12 and Metal were released in 2014. It means that Apple and Microsoft had been working on these new APIs since at least 2012.

Khronos woke up and decided to create a new API in 2015.

It's amazing you're blaming Apple and Microsoft for not doing something for Khronos out of the goodness of their hearts when the "amazing open innovative forerunners" like NVidia, AMD, Valve, Epic etc. are their members and literally did nothing until, well, it was too late.

> 1. Each commissioner has their own dedicated area and portfolio, so if the problematic law is in some other commissioner's area then your vote is worth nothing.

Of course your vote is worth something. It changes another commissioner with another portfolio. Just because every subset of the demos votes for a different official doesn't make it any less democratic.

Similarly, in the US, a senator can be on a committee with a dedicated area and portfolio and you might not be able to influence their election if you live in the wrong state.

> In practice the President reserves the right to veto any commissioner they don't like, and give or take their responsibilities them at will.

This is common in presidential systems. I know for a fact it works that way in the US, but I'm pretty certain it does so in other systems as well.

> This ability doesn't exist in the treaties.

That's not the scandal you make it out to be. Plenty of democratic systems function more by convention than by written down law. Prime example is the UK, where a lot of constitutional law is nothing more than unwritten convention. The very existence of the office of the UK Prime Minister itself is not written down in law anywhere! [0]

> 3. Commissioners are required to take an oath of loyalty to the EU and explicitly promise to ignore any instructions from their governments of citizenship [2]

Of course they are, they're EU commissioners after all. US government officials take an oath to the US, too, and not the state they're from.

> so being able to appoint them - even if it actually worked - would grant national governments no real power.

Who said anything about granting national governments any power? That's not a prerequisite for a democratic system at the level above.

> It is not a democracy. It has never been and never will be. Any mechanism or system that looks superficially democratic will turn out to be subtly broken or unusable on close inspection.

None of your points are indicative of a lack of democracy. It might not be your preferred mode of democracy, but none of your complaints are unique to the EU, they're all features of other democratic systems as well.

Reading between the lines, it seems like your main gripe is the weakening of the nation state in favor of a larger block. I understand that might make you unhappy, but it is not per se undemocratic as long as the larger block is democratic. I also happen to believe it's the right thing to do, Europe has been held back by petty national squabbles for way too long, it's time we finally unify to the superpower we're meant to be.

> Well I think part of the problem is that our education system results in many people thinking mathematics is anything other than a language. Most often people think that math is something we are uncovering about the universe.

And those people would be right, as the mathematical universe is part of our shared universe/reality. It's not just language and games. A Turing Machine either halts, or it doesn't. But if you want to solve a concrete problem (in physics, for example), it is best to develop/find/learn the mathematics you need to solve your problem, and not the other way around.

In modern Windows 10, you still get that in well-designed applications. In poorly-designed applications (hate to throw shade at Firefox, but it is one), you may be able to still get that menu by hitting ALT+SPACE. It just pops out of nowhere because there's nowhere to click to get to it.

ALT+SPACE, M, arrow keys is forever in my brain due to so many poorly behaved programs which would open their window somewhere off-screen, and that was the way to move them back onto the screen.

I wasn't asking for anything. I wouldn't expect much help from Sonos, and, indeed, and the OP got what I'd expect.

One place where hidden scroll bars are a pain - side-scrolling large tables on webpages. It’s not obvious you there’s more data and it’s not intuitive for even technical users to randomly decide to side scroll in that scenario. Excel users are used to this since the scroll bar is always shown, but achieving a nice UX for data/table heavy web applications is not straightforward.

Yes. Noise induced from club soundsystems, started in 2006 with multiple flare ups every few years after an exposure, even one last year. The reality is that my hearing loss is minimal, my hearing is significantly better than most people my age, when measured. It’s a psychological phenomenon, and I’ve learned, and relearned again, to completely ignore it. I live and sleep in silence, except when I read discussions like this, and “remember” my tinnitus for a moment. But I’ve proved to myself, time and time again, that i can happily live with it, and that belief becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

If you perceive it as dangerous threat, the brain amplifies it. If you perceive it as a neutral presence, the brain ignores it. Ive used pretty ridiculous imaginative tricks to convince my brain that it’s a benign presence, and it’s worked. Noise masking is vital for me in the early stages.

At it’s very worst it was loud enough to hear during a jet flight taking off and would mask normal conversation. Now I can meditate in a silent room and barely notice it. I don’t notice it when I lie down to sleep.

Not all tinnitus is psychological: I’ve also had somatic tinnitus, a very low throbbing hum in one ear. That was extremely challenging , and the tinnitus talk forum provided a theory and solution that worked. It was caused by jaw tension, solved by sleeping with a dental guard.
And the statement that it would be fabricated should be taken as it is? Doesn't explain the witnesses though.

It's not a gift, it's a prize, which you are only likely to get if you spend a fulltime effort on it (thus losing out on other income sources). There also is a deadline until end of the year (not sure what happens after that).

So it's more of a (skillful) gambling prize than a gift.
> Unfortunately, I don't have four years to get a teaching degree, let alone a master's degree, let alone $50,000 to pay for one.

Depending on what your undergrad is (preferably STEM), there are plenty of districts that will hire you, let you teach on a provisional license with a crash course, and pay for you to get your teaching qualification.

That's nonsense. I care a lot about Palestinian babies as an Israeli. The Hamas is the reason they are at risk.

Anyone who wants to support the Palestinian people needs to understand that the biggest obstacle to a Palestinian state and liberty is the Hamas who is conducting a Jihad. It doesn't care about Palestinian lives and considers them casualties in a holy war.

I think the bombings are terrible and don't help the Israeli cause one bit. But I can't really blame the leadership here. After watching the photos there's a rage going on here which is exactly what the Hamas wanted.

I don't know why you're being downvoted, because this is the truth. AirTags are cheap, always-on tracking tags with no GPS receiver of their own. The only way they can report their location is via the goodwill of the other devices in their monolithic ecosystem, something that can only be built via large-scale cross-manufacturer cooperation, or by unilaterally doing it as a dominant manufacturer with enough beachhead devices around the world to make the system worthwhile.
I have a hard time actually visualizing this math. Let’s say you join a 1.5B valued company and get offered $100k in stock options, but at $20k. So an 80% discount.Assuming the company meets the revenue goals maybe 10 years in the future but otherwise no other growth beyond the valuation, is it worthwhile for the employee to exercise the options, not early? Presumably they would have to turn around and pay another $20k in taxes the year that they exercised

There might well be a connection between the two. However, there are much more obvious connections between electromagnetism, or all of physics for that matter, and numbers [1].

Even though I prefer to interpret things differently, the paper "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences" [2] might be a good avenue to think about these things.

I wouldn't be surprised if numbers and physics go hand in hand, in the sense that we can only observe these, and not the more irregular patterns that make up the total chaos that we might exist in.

I'm not an electoral mechanics geek but I appreciate the details, even if much of it flies over my head. Do you perchance have any resources where I could better understand such things?

Also, I think your points are very interesting but may benefit from some paragraphing for added clarity and coherence.

Another point of note is that, while interesting, it may be the case that no matter how much a government optimizes its electoral systems, it may still be subject to the other vulnerabilities listed above, which sadly might subsume any gains from such optimization.
Pretty much any lucrative area of healthcare involves more than 6 months of online learning. Most of the big money makers I work with had to study for 6 years and do additional training for another 7 years before being able to make the big bucks. Those people then have to do further upskilling in how to use robots etc if they want to. I just think it’s unrealistic to think you’re going to find something in healthcare + AI that is lucrative in 6 months of online learning.
Healthcare workers actually really represent the wage gap quite well you have those that are chronically under paid and treated like shit, and then you have the ultra wealthy but all of them probably have at least an undergrad degree but most have postgraduate certificates/degrees/masters etc

You could however apply for roles at places like Johnson&Johnson and Medtronic as a “sales rep”. Their reps actually have a pretty good deal. You don’t necessarily have to have medical training if you can bring to the role other relevant experience (like working in biotech) these companies are probably good places to get some niche insight, and experience that could lead to something in the convergence between healthcare and AI. Johnson&Johnson have orthopaedic robots etc. Robotics in medicine is actually a pretty big industry (tho some places are slow to uptake on the technology). Those big companies also have pretty good working conditions for their staff like flexi hours, company cars, at least six figure salaries etc. You probably wouldn’t get to work remote straight away, but depending on where you started and how you progressed in the company you could find yourself in a good role.
