I do not know but I think I am happy about this. I have savings. I worry though inflation will rise and make the money worth less.

This is slightly disappointing finding for me. I tend to walk a little slow (and do everything a little slow). Mybe I can be an outlier.

You can do the same with wood, just do not glue it. On the other hand there is something to be said for making something that looks a certain way (even if it is hidden in the final presentation) for the enjoyment of the craft person. On the

I have not been to Mexico City or Vancouver but would like to see both. It seems much of the US (and maybe the rest of the world, I don't know) is becoming very homogenized. Especially along large roads and highways. This is not a new

I think the democrats are just little behind the times. It is getting ease to just make direct payments to politicians theses days.

My reply here is just bout the one quote. I more or less agree with the sentiment of your post. But.. Isn't the goal of tetris to not build the wall!?!? I think the point of the game tetris is to build a wall or at least could be tho

I really like this and may have to try to make a poster.

I think it is more like human values are so all over the place that there is no real meaning in the phrase. For all my life I have heard, from humans, everything from peace and love to destroy all humanity. Then there is everything found in

So, what is going on here. It seems like I have been reading similar stories. Are researchers giving a prompt like "Do your worst. Hack into some business" or giving free access to a bunch of tools and prompting "Do something

It looked a little interesting but I am not so sure I really like it. It does not seem to really explain so much as show another way to represent things. Such as In 1+2×3 why does 2×3 go first? My understanding of things is that it is con

I was listening to a math podcast a while back and someone said "I am a conservative" and then was quick to add "with a small c". That might be an important distinction.

We live in a big modern world there some options that are not really available. As if we are stuck in a really wide raging river. We are not going to be going upstream regardless our desires. Saying stop I want out is not really an option.

Some things I would like to see are pedal controlled devices. Something like a pedal controlled wheelchair, not powered by the pedals just control the forward and back motion. My mother with sever arthritis can still pedal but has a very ha

This is a little "Follow your dreams", not really bad or wrong just a little narrow minded. Some good companion thoughts might be found in Grant Sanderson's commencement speech a few years ago ( https://www.3blue1br

Ok, I do not know how knowledgeable this guy Terence Tao is. The first line in the paper is: As any car driver knows, it is possible to maneuver a car into a tight parking spot, or to perform a U-turn in a narrow street, by performing a se

The notion (right or wrong) is that consumers payed for the tariffs. Target may have not passed on the cost at the time but they still made a $1B profit. Now they are getting $1B on top of that. The consumers that might have payed lower pri

I am not so sure the United States as a whole will even notice. Looking around I am not really sure that the US is even noticing that the US has a space program. I have been a bit isolated for the past few years and do not really talk to ma

In some sense "understanding" (understanding if it is true, if it is important, how to use it) is about the only bottleneck in math. Any theorem that you can write down or imagine is already true, false, not provable already. In s

If I need a mathematical solution to my problem (my fusion reactor is not working) it is not quite good enough to know that some theorem is correct. I need to know how it applies. If I want to use some argument about history (US Civil War f

Maybe the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series was predictive in pointing out the problems of ill defined questions (The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything).

Paywalled, but I did see that it looks like Mathematics is the predicted profession to be taken over (I could be wrong). It seems to me something like history might be more at risk. In mathematics a wrong result can be checked. With somethi

I have been trying to read the Bible for most of my life. I find it hard to get through (at least in my begging to end attempts). Having recently finished Genesis (Creation, Abraham through Joseph). I think many people have a fairly romanti

Whoever can enjoy what ever. There is some danger in romanticize things. Romanticizing shows the good in something but leaves out the difficulties. Some may very well enjoy an extremely remote and isolated lifestyle but it is not a Disney

I sometime think we should have two votes for politicians one to get in office and one for how much jail time to serve when they leave (or maybe a bonus). This is more of a joke, but it would be nice to see public servants held accountable
