A warning IS graceful degradation, an error or unexpected behaviour would be ungraceful. The channel that warnings come over is separate from the channel the content is being rendered in and it shows, for those that look at it, that the system is degraded and an action would need to be done to restore it to a non-degraded state.

We were seen as failing a security audit recently for having firefox installed on some of the development laptops and got ordered to remove it by IT who conceeded that it was stupid but had to check boxes for insurance is ISO standards.

This causes the majority of people to only be exposed to Edge/IE or Chrome at work, and use their phones the rest of the time.

So land based internet feeds 1 tree and Starlink feeds 30 trees. Guess the Ents will be using Starlink then.

There are two scale systems at play.

pico, nano, micro, milli, unit, kilo, Mega, Giga... Which relates to the SI units.

And Micro,Meso and Macro scaling system that centers around human sized reality.

NJW posits that Real Numbers and Set Theory are based on the notion that it is possible to do an infinite number of calculations which he considers disingenuous.

He highlights in some of his Youtube videos that in respected Math textbooks the definition of real numbers is left vauge.

In his opinion set theory has the same kind of holes the we are expected to accept that we can add an infinite quantity of things to a Set by describing a function or simply having a desciption of the elements of the Set.

Kind of reminds me of how tight beam communications are used in The Expanse universe.

What can be imagined is what can be discovered.

The etymology of invent has the terms 'contrived' and 'discover' baked in. if we take the contrived root, rather than just dead-ending to say that invent is synonymous with discover, we find that it is rooted in the ability to 'compare' and 'imagine'. From this we can then formulate the opening statement.

Is the time difference between the neutron experiment results due to time dilation? One of them had the neutrons moving at high speed, I.e. In a particle beam.

Spoken like someone who only knows one natural language. As the article stated all languages are about communication. Each language has its own syntax (ie words and word order) but the concept of a rose or money is the same, the concept of an action is the same as is the concept of a pronoun otherwise people would not be able to translate between languages. The semantics of a language are often tied up in the culture of the language.

When it comes to computer languages similar principles are at play. The concept of a list or array or matrix of values is common across a wide variety of language types for OO to Functional to Declarative. As is the concept of IO. The need to communicate with something outside of the program. The fact that some languages point out the and IO operation is about to occur does not mean that the paradigm does not use or need them.

In short: Speak English when you are in Britain, yorkshire when in Yorkshire, cockney when in London, and Mandarin when in China. Use the appropriate language for the task at hand or get an interpreter.

Reminds me of this game. http://nothing-to-hide-demo.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html

My personal thoughts would be that if computer interfaces catch up to the point of being able to use them in a redwood forest you won't be looking at the redwood forest you would be working.

Much better to be in a controlled environment that does not distract you from your work but takes into account all the evolution that has taken place so far.

I wonder if this is what being a telepath would be like. Hearing all the vile thoughts of everyone in a certain radius. If everyone had the ability would we develop a sense akin to smell with BO standing for Brain Odour?

However after the list he states

  "And with the sixth example I have reached imperceptibly but unavoidably,
  the most hairy part of this talk: Educational consequences." 

The only problem I see it that MS win either way. Not that I like MS, I don't, but all these companies [http://www.fool.com/investing/value/2011/10/24/does-microsof...] produce androids and have to give MS money. So MS doesn't really care who wins in the Android vs WP game, just that it is one of them.

Thanks :)

Thanks for that, it is like you read my mind :)

Any particular reason you didn't go for the list comprehension?

    print sum([el for el in range(1001) if not((el%5==0) or el%7==0))])
