#Reality is an infinitesimally small point in which three spacial and one temporal dimensions collide into what we call "the here and now." They never stop moving.

While an asset can be valuable, a value cannot be #assetable.

Nobody stops reading after a colon:

Getting out of a bed with a soft #mattress is like climbing out of a river that has steep, muddy walls.

Perhaps the #brain is kind of like a #Kubernetes cluster with unlimited resources? One where containers never really die; they just get shoved somewhere in the back.

The threshold for inappropriate content on any platform must exist on a curve. It should range from zero tolerance to things like child porn and maximum allowance for well researched, albeit sometimes polarizing, opinions.

The lawyers are like compilers. They dig through the law as it's written line by line looking for flaws to "crash out" often to one side's advantage.

While the law makers are the coders, the justice system is like the CPU, recalling and deliberating back and forth until there's a binary verdict -- "guilty" (1) or "not guilty" (0).

There are some parallels between #programming and #law. For example, writing code is like writing law, where you primarily focus on the exceptions -- "you're not allowed to <blank>."

Two-factor authentication one-time passphrase (2FA OTP) is the digital implementation of the three-body problem.

Time can be described but not seen Color can be seen but not described

My latest obsession is finding parallels at different scales, like: values take over where genes fall short. A collection of values makes a culture. And culture shapes a population of people, who individually are made up from a collection of genes.

Why most QR codes that appear in printed #marketing materials come without UTM codes is beyond me…

You should be able to tell which way is up on a honey puck style QI charger in the dark. That or it should work on either side.

I had originally thought to post this even before they broke up, but I am grateful to be alive at the same time as @DaftPunk_Music. To me, they are the modern classic composers of our time.

you extrapolate it out to more complex problems, like dealing with exponential growth, or applying the correct legal standards to figure out whether there is a conflict of interest. The future can't come soon enough. #Prediction

There is nothing novel in saying that instead of reaching in your pocket for a calculator app when you need to do some math, you'll just think about the problem and get the answer using something like the #Neuralink. But it gets a lot more interesting when...

In order to get a perfect reflector in the fourth dimension, one should slice a tasseract "diagonally" in half such that four perpendicular sides all meet at one point.
