In case it's not obvious from what others have said, doing QM on observables with discrete spectra looks very different from that on continuous spectra. Different mathematical tools are helpful in each case.

Do you mean morally or legally? It's hard to imagine a Google engineer not knowing that sharing trade secrets is something their employer would seriously frown upon, no?

Maybe this is obvious and not what you are asking, but he's just saying that if you increase your unit of measurement by a factor of X, then the number of such units that comprise your object decreases by the same factor. (Also, th

Difference from what? Even different municipalities have vastly different tastes from each other. (That said, it's never bothered me to drink tap water wherever I go, and acclimate quickly. I think the bottled water trend is insane.)

But can't a doc insist on a hospital stay following the emergency, which then isn't covered by insurance as an emergency? By "insist," I mean that leaving would be against medical advice -- and I know some insurance will

That's insane. I hand-check my root certs at least twice a day.

Interesting. In the few states I looked, there were no PPO plans (including by BCBS). As for hospitals, I guess it's important to know which hospitals are in network near home and anywhere you might be traveling? Usually in an emergenc

The other problem is that ACA plans are garbage compared to group plans, with no out of state or out of network coverage available. If you end up needing a hospital stay, you could be in trouble if the "wrong" doctors do a drive-

Indeed! Given the effort and knowledge put into the question, the obvious answer seemed too... obvious for this poster to not already know it. I thought I must be missing something!

I'm asking specifically about the "other reply" you mentioned.

The other reply mentions that cash is not a good way to help such people, not that they shouldn't be helped. Are you sure you're not reading things into people's replies?

What do you suppose their "agenda" is, other than encouraging you not to be condescendingly dismissive of a whole group based on your limited sample size?

Those lights (like most lights) give off a broad range of frequencies. The blue / violet parts that humans can see are by definition not "ultra"violet ( beyond the visible spectrum). Even if we could see those frequencies, n

This comment chain is getting circular. We can't use this as an example for itself by assuming that it is true.

Ten or fifteen years ago, I sang the old Hindi classic "Kisi Ki Muskarahaton Pe" (not particularly well) into Midomi, and it nailed it immediately. One of the most delightful tech experiences I've ever had, comparable to my e

I can totally see why that song in particular scratched that itch. It definitely has a nostalgic vibe to it (independently of my having grown up with it, I feel).

Sounds amazing! Would love to hear about your stories and learnings should you ever choose to write about them :)

Except for a small handful of Waldorf schools, there seem to be precious few schools that will give my son significant outdoor time. In fact, I'm told that WA state won't even accredit fully outdoor schools (though I haven't

Do you really think the way someone thinks is just a brand? That the ability to think mathematically is... a religion ? I think our worldviews are too far apart for us to make sense to each other here.

Surely you can see the difference between having domain expertise and having association with a particular brand?

Right, but it's a self-perpetuating process. It's not happening just top-down, but cyclically. The people "at the top" are also caught in the same system. Jeff Bezos isn't just trying to sell you stuff; he really be

Exactly the term I had in mind: Rube Goldberg. And it gets so much worse than the examples you've given. Trying to shoehorn all the leaky abstractions together across the dozens or hundreds of pieces of technology I use every day from

Not giving substantive comments makes it sound more honorable than what was actually said. I actually prefer them exposing the nonsense that corporations spew, so that their disingenuity is in plain sight and on the record.

You can insurrect or revolt from either of those two conditions. My experience (not with country-scale insurrection, of course...) is that the results will be drastically different. These aren't things you do instead of acting, but a

There are two possibilities for each human to try: 1. Pour all your effort into becoming a kinder, wiser human, and watch as it rubs off on the people around you in surprising and far-ranging ways, amplifying itself into the world through &

It's not really a question of need. I appreciate interacting with a diverse crowd, and I think most others do, too.
