Essentially the difficulty arises from attempting to assign a measure (area) to every single subset of the sphere, where you say that rotations need to preserve this measure. The paradox can be viewed as a proof that you cannot assign a measure to every subset of the sphere in a consistent way.

The way measure theory resolves this is by showing that if you restrict to appropriate subsets, called measurable subsets, you can get all the nice properties you would expect.

It turns out that basically everything is measurable. In fact the existence of a non-measurable set is independent of ZF. This means that you need the axiom of choice, which was used here in the Banach-Tarski paradox, in order to construct a non-measurable set. So measure theory doesn't really lose a great deal by restricting in this way, which is why it gives such a great theory of integration.

If he was taking a bus, that would be well over a 13 hour bus ride, if he’s in fact located in St. Louis, as I guessed based on his most recent work experience listed on the site.

By train might even be longer, I don’t know if there’s a direct route between St. Louis and Charlotte. There’s a chance you’d have to go through Chicago.

Edit: I checked. You do have to go through Chicago, and Washington, DC as well making it about a 39 hour train journey. It’s also probably at least twice as expensive as flying.

I can’t fault him for flying.
The gorgeous book "Discrete groups, expanding graphs and invariant measures" by A. Lubotzky investigates the structures that give rise to measure-theoretic phenomena like the B-T paradox. It is a graduate level monograph, but I recommend it wholeheartedly. It illustrates how the study of some paradoxes from the early 20th Century led to amazing and highly applicable mathematics like expander graphs and the spectral theory of non-commutative groups.
I’m surprised that I can’t find more discussion on how this change relates to advertising dollars. What else motivates them?
Honestly, it's not that surprising if you learned the properties of infinity before, especially of uncountable infinity. If 2*Inf == Inf, and if a sphere has an infinity of points, it's not that surprising that you can make two spheres from those same points. The construction itself is of course much more impressive, I'm not downplaying it, but I don't think it's less intuitive than other properties of infinity.

My personal reckoning with this was learning that there are as many numbers in the [0,1] interval of the real line as on the whole real line.
IIRC correctly first you split the surface into an uncountable partition then you use the axiom of choice to "color" each point of each partition of a color and then define your finite number of subsets as all the points of each given color.
Apparently working together with Apple is extremely difficult because they are so controlling and demanding, and that is even without the cultural and timezone difference, so I doubt it's viable.

The problem here is that you're simply assuming near global agreement with your personal values. That is very much not the case. No, those 70% weren't just some privileged elite, it's people who simply think differently than you, or your parents, might. And this is true for the overwhelming majority of the world. People value different things in life. And there's no single system that can really embrace and fairly represent all views.

Emigration, as a component, works out of simple self interest. In this proposed system the cost of emigration would be relatively low, yet the benefits would not.

if you have an expression with n terms, then you will end up with O(n) terms each taking up O(n) space, so the overall space usage is quadratic. (that's the fair way to compare to polyhedra since they're always global)

> life advice

Can't help you with this; I'll just say life is a lot more than your job. So any "life advice" would be unrelated to being a software engineer or whatever.

> helping people by writing software

"Software" itself is just kind of like a building material; there's a very large number of ways you can apply it and things you can build with it. If you're more interested in "doing something meaningful/useful by writing software" than in "writing software to do something meaningful/useful", then you'll have to change the perspective a bit and actively look for it.

> happy

I wouldn't really know. Maybe the instances where I found something I wrote being used and liked by a user and being helpful to them, even if in a small way.

There have also been a couple of times where I built something which had some element of "fun" in the code itself. These do bring a certain happiness, but it's temporary, usually brief, and looking back it tends to sound silly and pointless. Some silliness and inconsequential fun is probably very good for your life, but it won't provide long term satisfaction on its own.

> regret

Yeah, some. But don't let regrets guide your life. They'll make you miserable.

I've used git-crypt and sealed-secrets and the problem is always backing up the master key. sealed-secrets rotates it every so often so you need to go find it and copy it to 1password or whatever you use as your root of trust. (We used a calendar invite for this.)

git-crypt is easy, the master key doesn't rotate, so don't leak it. (Secret encryption key rotation is kind useless; it's nice that if you leak an old key newer secrets aren't leaked, but it depends on your underlying secret rotation policy as to whether or not that saves you any work. I have tended to do them in bulk in the past.)

On my last project we did disaster recovery exercises every 6 months, sometimes with the master key intentionally lost, and it wasn't that big of a deal. Restoring your infra-as-code involves creating the secret encryption service manually, though, which is kind of a pain, but not like days of downtime pain or anything. Of course, if the secrets encrypted your database or something like that, then losing the master key equals losing all your data. Hopefully your database backup has some solution for that problem.
Small story, friend of mine had a malware package, it needed a backdoor installed; he had a tool to merge the backdoor with any other application, so he used a cute desktop sheep thing.

We also set it up at school (IT degree) on the shared computers, but I think a sysadmin found out. We didn't get in trouble, but a classmate was caught and nearly expelled.

Most people in Europe use Whatsapp or FB Messenger, so they don't need Facetime or Apple Messages - major selling points of the Apple ecosystem. Alongside that, only 6% of people in the EU use macs, which further shows how Apple's ecosystem does not have a solid foothold in the EU.
The "pieces" aren't pieces such as you picture.

Take a (solid) sphere ... there are uncountably infinitely many points.

Now for each point colour it read, green, blue, yellow, or purple. Do this completely randomly.

Then every point will have nearby, arbitrarily close, other points of every colour. The colours will be deeply intertwungle, with the points of each colour just being a "cloud", spread throughout the entire volume.

This is a better mental image of what the "pieces" are like.

Now, if you do this colouring in a very, very special way, the red points can be rotated around to match exactly the green points. Well, OK, so the green points are a rotation of the red points. Not a problem.

But you can also arrange it so that if you rotate the red points a different way then they will exactly match the blue points. Well, OK, so the blue points are also a rotation of the red points.

The utterly, utterly bizarre result is that the above can be true, and we can also have a third rotation of the red points that will match all the green points and the blue points AT THE SAME TIME!

At its heart, that how the B-T theorem works. There are details, and arranging that this happens in also non-trivial, but at its heart, this is what's happening.

The purpose of the theorem is to show that the concept of "volume" cannot be applied to arbitrary sets of points in 3D. If you want more details about that, I wrote a blog post about this many years ago. It was my project for my BSc (Hons) way back in 1982.

it's not much better, but it's good enough to the point that is not a blocker.
The key thing is that this is not something even vaguely physically realizable. The pieces of the sphere are not "pieces" in any physical sense - they are just subsets of points inside the sphere, that don't have a definite shape and volume.

Given the complicated relationship at least between David Leigh and Julian Assange of which I have personal knowledge: If there are not tapes or video recordings, I would not trust the memory or perception of even a group of people around Assange.

Assange had his own reality distorion field. Like inflating the number of servers wikileaks had, the numbers of active members, etc. etc. I could sense he and Daniel Schmidt aka Domscheid-Berg were making up things on the go, but I and others didn't speak up because we believed we were wrong (How could we doubt wikileaks in 2010ish?).

I personally met David Leigh during the offshore leaks investigation. Dumb & innocent as I was, I asked him right away about the password incident. For those who don't know: At first, the cables were only released in part and redacted, but there was an archive zip encoded with aes encryption and a very long password "ACollectionOfDiplomaticHistorySince_1966_ToThe_PresentDay#" that Leigh used as a headline in his book. Of course someone figured out it matched to that archive and so the cables became unredacted. Well, Leigh was really pissed about the question.

To his defense, Leigh said to me: he was under the impression that the password/archive were digital self destruct. I know, this does not make sense in any way and reality. But given how little Leigh knew about information security, encryption, tech in general - maybe he was told by Assange this as a prank, maybe he assumed it, who knows.

But boy, these people in that time - journos and hackers - back than, most of them were not thinking about any bad outcomes, it mostly about making a splash and spotlight.

And that was, is and will not be enough. I battled "on the hill" to protect a whistleblower and to block a release of information which may have resulted in people being prosecuted in countries with a death penalty. It cost me a lot, but if you're not willing to walk away from prestige and fame for other peoples lives, maybe you should find another job.

The BT paradox includes the requirement that the pieces are separated and put back together using isometries of R3, which is _way_ more restrictive than isomorphism of sets (what you're talking about). So it's quite surprising from that point of view!
My name is Aileen, I’m 32 years old. Due to the impact of the epidemic and the impact of the world economic environment, the company I run went bankrupt. In order not to default on the wages of the company’s employees, I sold all my assets and was still in debt of hundreds of thousands of pounds. My life has been in trouble since then. At the same time, my relationship with my ex-husband was in trouble. In the end, I chose to separate from my ex-husband with my daughter and come to London to live. Due to debt, pressure of life, and unemployment for a while, I was once in a state of confusion. I was alone with my child and sometimes felt helpless. I also worked as a cleaner, waiter, etc. to make a living. When life was the most difficult, my daughter and I only had one meal a day. Fortunately, three months ago, I learned from a friend that I could try to invest in the TRONWF platform and invite new users to join. I tried it with a try-and-see attitude, and then I got my principal back a few days later. Next, I kept inviting people around me and shared and promoted it on major social platforms. In just three months, I paid off all my debts, and bought a house and a car again. My living standard is better than before. If you are also in a trough now, if you don’t have a stable income, if you want to earn a second income besides salary, please join us, I will teach you how to achieve wealth freedom!

An aside, I have never seen anyone write the digit 8 like that before.

My takeaway from the video is that real numbers between 0-1 or 1-2 are infinite. And infinity+1 or -1 is still infinity. Even if you take something out from between 1-2, it will remain the same.
It make sense to me. What if we use tool or some sort of service for doing this?

In pre-internet times I loved reading computer magazines, sure they where full of ads and hyped some bullshit products but at least there where no clickbait titles or AI generated articles. There was some real useful content. You also kind of knew all the authors of the magazines and their style.
Software piracy also was a physical process, we shared floppy disks on the schoolyard and exchanged "arcane" knowledge of how to unpack it (arj / pkzip).

I also often wonder if as a civilization we really need this enormous speedup of everything. We humans can barely handle multitasking. We can compile huge amounts of ultra complex code insanely fast but we can't think faster to come up with the ideas and also can't handle complexity in our minds better than before. On the contrary, I often feel urged to rush software development.
I think there's a huge gap between "if you allow 10 packs and the person brings 20" and actual smuggling. The former is probably technically that, but I doubt many people were caught for those numbers, or it's their own fault for trying to save 10 bucks.

Cool blog. Been lurking on it for a while.
More than half of the above don't imply that you don't have money. Lack of money is only one of the possible reasons for those situations.

* an inquiry means you're asking for a loan, implying you don't have money

Entities with tons of money seek loans all the time for liquidity and risk mitigation.

* you're taking and maxing out lines of credit, implying you don't have money

Nope, lack of understanding how CC scoring works (scoring designed to keep you in the credit mill) can lead to maxing out while being perfectly comfortable financially.

* Keep old credit cards open even if you don't use them, if it's practical (a longstanding open line of credit implies you have money).

What in tarnation.

This entire charade is a grotesque dance of mad clowns.

Joining a workers cooperative. That has been the best thing I could have done feeling as I was feeling about programming jobs.

I realized I disliked the way that job market works. Too much stress; clients and bosses putting too much pressure on my daily work; lots of stupid tasks to be finished ASAP...

At the end several friends of mine and me created a workers cooperative for doing programming jobs. We share projects and decide which ones we want to take. There is not that overwhelming duty of finding new clients as there is one person who does the research and business actions.

Everyone does what they want and we mainly focus on jobs we like and the way we prefer.
