Your uber idea is exactly how the decades -old traditional consulting shop works (Accenture/Anderson, McKinsey, etc). The "partners" are well-reputed deal-makig salespeople, and they farm out work to associates .

Sort of like how Scala allows XML as an object literal format, but less wacky.

But uncountable sets do NOT model reality well.

You don't believe it is true? That's silly, there is no good reason to believe it true or false, except in the sense that you think one of Chess or Go is the more fun game of the two. Or you don't believe it is a meaningful t

Not "possible", " imaginable". "Possible" is begging the question.

Which proofs depend on an infinitely discontinuous subset, though?

How are they more ambiguous than fractals? The key structure is a shape that can be rotated onto a subset of itself. I guess with common fractals, you camnoly scale an object onto a subset of itself. The magic of BT is that the ball-shape a

You at exactly right. The "paradox" is that people naively assume that the Real ("Real" = math theory, "real" = CS turing-computable and physics "real universe") numbers are a smooth continuum, but

Uncountable sets are not reality . They are unicorns. They are a pretend construction that cannot be mapped 1:1 to anything in the universe, by definition . "Uncountable" means "outside the realm of real world algorithms a

Yes. Except that the ball can't really "be paritioned". That's a mathematical illusion. There is an isomorphism of structures, but there is no computable algorithm that can perform the partition operation.

Specifically, shapes with infinitely many "sides" in a bounded region. (a ball)

The reason those things are strange is that uncountable sets have absolutely no bearing on computable objects (== enduring in math and science) but everyone mistakenly applies their countable intuition to uncountable set theory.

Because Apple is not a webapp company, and webapps are the easiest and most common kind of startup.

And with a few trivial bits of syntactic sugar, they get even closer.

asm.JS carries you rather close to bare metal.

Similar to MapReduce in that respect. A library that supports a computational model.

It is sickening to see people boasting of the beauty of civilized Singapore and shaming the poor laborers, the ones who make the city beautiful and are massively underpaid for their effort.

False flag riot-inciting operations by police are extremely common at protests, at least. And police supremacy is a right-wing tenet, as far as the silly wing analogy goes.
