Can you point us to something to illustrate this more accurate gravity estimate reducing the need for dark matter? Sounds fascinating.

Take everything in the world. Every physical piece. Break it into the smallest slice you care to: (atoms, quarks, whatever). The count of those things is bounded. It's a huge number, but it's finite. Infinity is not a real concept, it's imaging that there is no number that can be bounded.

In NYC, you're wrong. https://freakonomics.com/podcast/the-perfect-crime-a-new-fre...

Come over to VBA! We do both! Option base 1/0

Buddy, Cahokia may have had as many people as London. Disease ravaged the Native American population and estimates are that 90% died. History doesn’t start with European arrival.

Especially since they did this in the 80s, the leather boat punctured, and they had to repair it while emptying the boat in frigid waters. Good times.

You can do this today: hang out with a reindeer herder in Siberia and then pop over to Shanghai. Nothing's changed.

I have set the settings on my TV not to do this; the common factor is the Expanse show on Prime. I have not backtested S04-.

Ok, so I'm only replying because this has some visibility and it might get seen / fixed at Amazon.

Everybody loves that Amazon and Prime bought and made new episodes of the Expanse, right? Well, on my stock Sony Bravia Android TV, if you are watching the Expanse with English subtitles, when the text for the subtitles is on, the screen is brighter. It's noticeable, and quite annoying, and this ONLY happens on the Expanse. Other apps and other shows on Prime work.

There are a million titles, so no physical store will be able to compete with a warehouse. There are no refrigeration or unusual logistics with books. They are fungible: generally speaking, one book is as good as another, identical book.

Illinois is going bankrupt to the degree that it’s affecting the U of I. They do, however, have both an iMBA and a masters in CS through coursera.

I’ve been party to this scheme incidentally and the antenna I bought mentioned that they would only honour one purchase for a discount.

Momentum based tickets. The heavier your vehicle, total passengers and load, the higher the fine.

My understanding is that this is already happening in Arizona with cartel members impersonating police for kidnappings. Don't expect this to get better.

That's... not what canceled out means.

I believe they were referred to as catfish programmers here a while ago. We say hello.

Where are you deriving these stats for Asian Americans and do they split out south vs east Asian?

Please do, those are both excellent choices.

Excel.

Indeed.

The FBI has been doing this for 15 years with cars and OnStar. They will do this with smart speakers once enough people have them.

Athabasca University offers a 4 year, Canadian distance Computing and Information Sciences Bachelors. It's affordable, the whole thing is under $40K CAD ~= $31USD. Just a suggestion for the non-Canadian Hacker News set.

Um, there isn't an easy way to say this, so I'll just say it: calm down.

I'm an Excel and VBA guy. The IDE hasn't been updated since office 97. It's not great.

But the thing that Microsoft understands iS that people buy your software if it doesn't break their workflow. Backwards compatibility is the most compelling feature when you've got an install base in the millions.

Now, they have fucked up. A lot. There is a bug that counts 1900 as a leap year. The statistical functions don't work. They can't dump VBA no matter how much they want to. They tried with VSTO and officejs but nobody is buying. I get it. They are stuck and the only real way out is to break compatibility. But haven't we seen what happens when you go down that road. Python 3. Perl 6. Acrimony. Discord. And for what? Your spreadsheet to break and you have to debug it? What if you have a spreadsheet that's never been documented with a million formulas. You probably have a day job, you need your tools to work and Microsoft understands that.

Are you familiar with our tax website? Google CCRA.

These sound incredible. Can I ask you to start a blog / podcast / Youtube channel to distill your thoughts? It seems like you have a theme of exploring economic history from an alternate explanation (energy) than what is commonly thought (technological progress is an inevitable ratchet towards improvement).

Can you elaborate re: present situation?

Warren Buffett's a pretty fun guy if you're into making money. Views differ.

Law and medicine don't Logan's run you out with a constantly and pointlessly changing tech stack every five years.

CPI doesn't include food or energy, I believe.

This sounds like an amazing war story that I just want to hear more of. Is there any more? What's your c++ stack like?
