When you’re young you experience the world, when you get older you keep the world working for the young to experience it, and when you’re old you wish you’d made it work better so you could’ve really experienced it.

“Dead scientist #15” is more my speed

Microtransactions - the answer always has been and always will be microtransactions.

Not so much in London, and usually you need to pay for the public ones.

And during those billions of minutes, most of them are cursing the existence of the spyware experience that is teams.

We live in but a bright second, yet are determined to fill it with darkness unending.

4chan is an extreme example of an unmoderated site - indeed it’s what the OSA was designed to combat. If this legislative test fails, it would undermine the acts legitimacy, and provoke questions as to it’s existence.

It’s a shit law - it’s not fit for purpose. Its sole reason for existence is to controle public speech, not protect the children.

The three pathways for most academics

Option 1 - shit out a large pile of bad (either misleading, over-sensationalised, or just clearly partial work) papers, but get funding to do the same for another year.

Option 2 - work hard to create a quality paper, run out of time, no more funding, off you go to industry.

Option 3 - take a teaching intensive role and never have any time for research, oh and also get paid less than in industry.

Neat summary and cleanup - editing original post to point at this.

Check down on data security ;)

So, I looked at age verification - it was made clear photos were on device only and never transmitted.

If this turns out to be false, then the legal fallout would be apocalyptic.

I was thinking that, you’d think they’d strike once the pot is a little larger.

This was kind of breach so predictable even surprisedpikachu.txt isn’t enough, but it must be done.

Ehh…

So, it’s more a case that the system cannot prove it’s own consistency (a system cannot prove it won’t lead to a contradiction). So the proof is valid within the system, but the validity of the system is what was considered suspect (i.e. we cannot prove it won’t produce a contradiction from that system alone).

These days we use relative consistency proofs - that is we assume system A is consistent and model system B in it thus giving “If A is consistent, then so too must B”.

As much as I hate to admit it, classical set theory has been fairly robust - though intuitionistic logic makes better philosophical sense. Fortunately both are equiconsistent (each can be used to imply the consistency of the other).

Didn’t know he had a degree in mathematics - that’s a fun one to share with my students.

Thanks!

“Statistical fact” - as someone forced to teach statistics, whenever a student writes this phrase they lose marks. Any statistical statement is an implication of evidence, not a statement of fact.

I think a lot of people are looking for a way out at the moment. Keep in mind, a college degree carries far less weight than it used to, and the majority of graduates are ending up in non-graduate roles. As such, college later in life might be a better option.

Why not play a different hand - find her somewhere local to work that covers that “field” so she can follow her interests. At the least, she’ll pick up some transferrable skills, and won’t be digging herself into debt. Worst comes to worst she enters that field with a job rather than debt (you can’t stop a hurricane) - it’s no worse than being a priest really.

Your partner needs a reality check - most men are not looking to be a provider, they’re looking for a partner. To be very blunt, unless your daughter has won the genetic lottery, she’s going to have to work for a living (like the rest of us).

Just allow companies to charge a small fee to process a DMCA takedown, and establish a daily compensation rate based on view counts for the uploader (cost payable by the company issuing the takedown - not the entity they represent). Suddenly you only issue a takedown for clear infringement, with the cost paid by the uploader only when clear proof is given that it is a DMCA infringement. If there is a long delay, the uploader gets more compensation, whereas the uploader is only liable for the initial takedown fee.

I did once consider making an onlyfans account for math tutorials.

“Come watch my new video on non-euclidean planes, you won’t believe the angles we can manage!”

“Tonight I take it deeper than ever before and explore the depths of Heyting Arithmetic.”

Yep, that’s just how it is these days. Let me ask though, does it really matter?

If the girls are afraid of the guys, that’s their problem, not yours. Stick the time into something else you enjoy, let nature run it’s course. Find a job you don’t hate, spend your money as you like, live a happy life without the anxiety of rejection.
