I think there is a ton of consensus on how the equations predict lab results, however, and I would be very happy with that.

I would love to get a lab manual to accompany Griffith's book on QM. I actually find it bizarre how little information there is, and I have looked. My gut tells me someone with an M.A. in physics, $5,000, and a lot of time could set up a hobby lab in her or his garage to validate everything through QED...

As for interpetation of QM, I don't think that's the problem since one can just set up an experiment based on prediction from the mathematical models. Sure, you will have make multiple runs to show the predicted distribution of the non-deterministic, umm, stuff, but that isn't a problem.

How about we spend enough time and money to give all citizens the same "intellectual tools" that upper middle class parents provide for their children?

>The only thing that doesn't appear to function well now is education, which appears to be stuck in the post-WW2 mentality of a job for life.

I would say education is stuck in a pre 1980s paradigm of prepping 80% of the population to be nothing more than warm, wet, expensive robots - - in other words, conventional blue collar workers. Humanity can be so much more...

Or fucked because you were born to poor uneducated parents in the right spot...

Perhaps poverty, access to healthcare, or education is a bigger factor? Do you have evidence race is the "real problem"?

In Washington state, the counties with the worst mortality are 95% white, with 5% native (Grays Harbor and Okanagan)

(poverty, education, race are of course very correlated)

I was shy once. I took a couple of theater classes at the community college and read Dale Carnegie. After that social situations are easy (

I can still get anxious for what I think are good reasons : like big socioeconomic differences or it is a professional event or whatever . But just meeting new folks or speaking is no problem now.

Has a similar, very cool, reverse engineering analysis been done with peripheral heavy microcontrollers?

Can someone recommend a book on chip fabrication?

So that gun is... What? Besides losing the next election, of course.

What prevents the elected city officials from voting No on the package once it is accepted by Amazon and revealed? Anything with legal teeth or just public pressure?

I gotmy PhD because grad school was more fun than a real job, and I made about 40,000 a year because I can program. The prospect of being a junior professor at a middling university gives me nightmares (think about the faculty meetings...), so now I am analyst / programmer in government.

If anyone can make octonions cool it would that physicist

In a toy model, the ether and Aristotlean mechanics worked ok too. I am not saying we should give up the notion altogether, but that causality as we intuit it may not be the best way to understand the universe.

I bet someday we realize that "causality" is about as real as the ether or force at the subatomic level. That is, something that seems fundamental and obvious but is really just wrong.

Easy for a twelve year old who has practicing motor skills for their entire life. And who would still be spastic on some assembly lines

Are there any roguelikes designed specifically for story generation? DCSS is probably the most playable but with the least interesting stories, DF may be the inverse.

Even if they have a point, this type of strident editorializing makes Harper's impossible for me to read. "mausoleums for trump supporters"? WTF? (Ignoring the dominance of progressive politics in Seattle as well...)

I think this kind of crap is on the same level as Fox News hate mongering. Embarrassing.

Science avoids the "cesspool of rigid dogma" by experimentation not by a priori argumentation.

This point seems to be lost on a bunch of physicists these days who wallow in their derivations and forget that the fundamental revolution in modern science was the empirical method. The silly philosophers who got overthrown never knew it.

I think even if there were convergent evolution in phenotype, the DNA and underlying proteins would likely be very different.

I would still like to look at the plans (though it's charming you thought I might try to build it...)

So... Are plans available anywhere?

Can anyone more knowledgeable than I comment on how this affects FreeBSD?

speaking of "other meaningless activities"

Providing subsidized college education, for example?

Hutterite communities usually split at about 100 people as they grow, with a max at 150 or so.

As I understand it, protectionis and mercantilistic policies were the norm in the USA until the close of world War 2. Same with Britain.

How does that work? Github style contributions, LinkedIn profiles, or some sort of activity trail of planning dinner with friends on FB?

Probably you meant "conscious" not "conscience".
