in my experience it is some seemingly arbitrary criteria that was never mentioned.

> A model with a paradox is usually considered a flawed model that is the critique at hand, is it not? my understanding of the paradoxes in quantum mechanics stem from things, like measurement, being unspecified or at least being specifi

i didn't define reality, although i implied it to be everything, which was a counterpoint to the commenter's implication that quantum mechanics is reality and our intuition is somehow separate from that. > Quantum mechanics wil

right. but saying there aren't paradoxes in quantum mechanics isn't helpful and is probably just wrong. quantum mechanics isn't a physical thing and isn't reality. it is a model. of course it can have paradoxes, and does

by nikofeyn 7y ago
you could say that about any paradox. it other words, it isn't a helpful position because it doesn't give any insight. why even have the word paradox? plus, our intuition is just as much a part of reality as your "reality&quo

however, there are certain jobs that a ph.d. will basically catapult you into a senior position as soon as you are hired, and it will do so at the expense of people with just a bachelor's or master's degree. i have seen people tit

it really is messed up. in addition, it creates a bunch of weird spots in the job search space. for example, i have come across many jobs that i am more than qualified for, but they ended up being "post-doctoral fellowships". so t

and python is a jumbled mess of versions, package managers, packages, distributions, etc. that isn't a good thing either.

exactly! lol.

that is my understanding as well. it feels almost meme like that from an observer’s point of view, a black hole will have a bunch of stuff “stuck” on its horizon. i haven’t ever seen elaborations of how it would actually look though.

> “Hiding implementation details” is one of the great lies of abstraction. do you have some examples? i would imagine it is simply a matter of (poor) documentation or something not doing something it was documented to do, or vice versa.

it's more that they're built on differential forms and the exterior derivative. for a reference, see section 4.6 and problem 19.13 of an introduction to manifolds by loring tu. this is also covered in gauge fields, knots and gr

in general, i don't know what you're talking about. i don't see how anyone could mistake one of these three-wheeled things for a car. it's clear i was talking about fully electric cars, and when i say car, i include SUVs

> The average Chinese electric car is more akin to a really fast three-wheeled golf cart. that is simply not true. have you ever been to china? there are tons of electric sedans and SUVs on the road, and i would guess that greater than 8

that's what i was thinking. to me, it is a symptom of the broken patent system. when i see a patent, it is often for something rather obvious. it was my understanding that patents were to be for actually novel improvements, not just so

you reminded me of the nokia lumia 920. great design, camera, and screen, but hampered by a nascent os. nokia really seemed (seems?) to understand hardware.

that isn't entirely clear to me. https://www.theverge.com/2018/8/21/17764424/netflix-feature-... this article implies that no, it is indeed 30% for any new user, at least for netflix, but then that

apple doesn’t have a competing tinder app. apple forced the 30% upon spotify, causing a price increase for spotify, but then apple released apple music at spotify’s old price, undercutting them.

saying it works on android is a bit generous. haha. i was paying for it and using it, but it was a terrible experience. apple music on android often couldn't even play music downloaded unless it had a screaming internet connection. i h

regulatory capture is an event, threshold, inflection point, or whatever else you want to call it. it isn’t something that just poofs into existence as soon as a regulatory body is created. however, it does seem to be an end state or at lea
