    1. if AI creates a productivity explosion in the next few years, short and mid term firm profits will rise sharply, but will not be fully reflected into the CAPE ratio for 10 years. This will cause the CAPE ratio to suggest that the market is highly overvalued, when in fact it may not be.

    2. in mid-2008 at the nadir of the financial crisis S&P500 earnings across the board fell about 90% in about one year. Despite stock prices also going down significantly, this caused the market P/E at the time to spike over 120. For that reason, rather than use the current P/E, when doing long-term analysis it is more useful to use the Cyclically Adjusted Price Earnings (CAPE) ratio.

    1. the motor car demands first, a pedestrian-free permanent way; second, a smooth surface; third, vast open acreage for parking lots. The first neutralizes the space for use, the second destroys the character of the space by introducing a neutral floor, the third eats up all unfenced urban openings for car-storage.

    1. Diatomaceous earth filters has been generally accepted to be the top contender for removing pollutants while having a high efficiency rate. When applied to pool filtration, a DE filter has demonstrated its capability in capturing varying particle sizes to maintain water clarity. Recent studies show that diatomaceous earth filters have been able to remove particles, ranging from 1-6 micrometers (micron) in size, thus maximizing water quality.

    1. The mouse was developed by Apple, but designed by Hovey-Kelley (renamed IDEO in 1991[7]), who built hundreds of prototypes and conducted exhaustive testing with focus groups in order to create an ideal shape for the Lisa mouse.[8] The Lisa mouse was subsequently used as the foundational design for Apple mice, until the introduction of the multi-button design on the Mighty Mouse in 2005.

    1. the focal synthesis note is instantiated as a page. The observation note about secondary attack rates is transcluded into (via block reference, and therefore a part-of) the synthesis page. The context snippets are linked to the observation note via indentation in the outline as well as via hyperlinks to their block references, all of which create explicit bi-directional links in the underlying database between the items.

    1. Parallelisation can be a powerful tool, if used properly, however, the development and de-bugging time can often outweigh the computational gains.

    1. application of electricity offers an enormous opportunity to enhance selectivity in separations that involve charged solutes, even if the membrane material itself has poor selectivity.

      I don't think so

    2. Separations in the uncharged/charged category, such as water desalination by RO or PV, permeate the uncharged solute (e.g., water) and reject the charged solute (e.g., NaCl = Na+ and Cl–). The membrane charge enhances the performance of uncharged/charged separations that are driven by pressure, which is a major reason this category features higher selectivity than the others

      Membrane charge has little to do with rejecting charged solutes in RO

    1. code refactoring is the process of restructuring existing computer code—changing the factoring—without changing its external behavior. Refactoring is intended to improve the design, structure, and/or implementation of the software (its non-functional attributes), while preserving its functionality. Potential advantages of refactoring may include improved code readability and reduced complexity; these can improve the source code's maintainability and create a simpler, cleaner, or more expressive internal architecture or object model to improve extensibility

    1. 战役暴露了明军诸多问题,最大的有两点:其一是丁酉之战明军兵员素质较壬辰之战时大幅度下降,战况利则一拥而上,不利则一哄而散,反映了明军精兵较少,冗兵较多的现实问题;其二是各部缺乏配合,如果此战中后军坚守阵线不退,则可以稳住前军军心以图再战或者至少将损失降到最低而不至全军溃败沦为鱼肉。

    1. Modulation, the shifting from one key to another, was a driving principle in both harmony and sonata form, the primary Western large-scale musical structure since the middle of the 18th century. Modulation maintained harmonic interest over an extended time-scale, provided a clear contrast between musical themes and showed how those themes were related to each other.

    1. 任何信仰、故事、或命題,只要它們起作用的方式跟古老故事對原始人起作用的方式是一樣的,都可視為神話。換言之,任何我們用來解釋萬物為何如此的事物、或者任何被我們當作行為典範的事物,都可以視為神話。

    1. What is notable about WhatsApp is that the key identifier is not your account, but rather your phone number; any sort of technological lock-in has completely disappeared

      the push for openness in the SaaS vs the opposite trend in hardware

    1. Evidence cannot verify a theory. It cannot even select a theory

      This is a grossly wrong take on the relationship between theories(being not as predictive and widely applicable as laws) and evidence. Plausible theories sufficiently similar should be grouped together(therefore 'infinite number of theories' is a not helpful description), and evidence that warrants further examination are often those that COULD select one theory, or at least refute another, thereby refuting its hypotheses.

    1. What I believe happened this weekend was a uniquely American solution to the problem of Trump’s refusal to concede and attempts to incite violence: all of corporate America collectively decided that enough was enough, and did what Congress has been unable to do, effectively ending the Trump presidency. Parler, to be honest, was just as much a bystander casualty as it was a direct target. That the tech sector is the only one with the capabilities to actually make a difference is what makes the industry stand out.

      Unique in the sense that Tech companies channel the majority of the traffic

    1. any other app with user-generated content. The goal is not to pick out the hits, but rather to attract as much content as possible, and then algorithmically boost whatever turns out to be good

      The reversal of recognition mechanism

    2. Assuming that advertising revenue is a reasonable proxy for attention, it turns out that humans like pictures more than text, and moving pictures most of all; so it has gone on the Internet.

      The increasing user base means lowering level of literacy.

    1. the Internet: by removing friction it removes the need for folks in the middle, and the result is that value will flow to the edges. In the case of publishing that is aggregators on one side, and focused, responsive, and differentiated 5 writers and publications on the other.

      A bit too optimistic, but individual-hosted newsletter are indeed trending up.

    1. 年轻一代的学生自己要决定这个辩论的价值在哪儿。当你看他们两位在争论甚么问题的时候,你可以考虑这对你自己有甚么启发,让你想到甚么,让你更想知道甚么,从而让你想找一个更好的回答。我这么想,如果真能达到这个效果,那就算是成功的争论。

      Dynamic process of refining and redefining an issue

    2. 革命不是要追求一个终极的没有矛盾的天堂,那是不现实的。革命其实是要你醒着,不要睡觉,让你看到矛盾、看到丑陋、看到问题就够了,然后你要不断地去斗争。斗争之后,可能又会有新的问题、更严重的问题出现,没有关系。只要你醒着,知道问题,继续斗争,这就是一切,这就是意义。

    1. The jargon employed in this article belied the seriousness of the discussion.

      The author simply argues against an disengagement policy for multi-national companies operating in China, but rather adapting to the market demands while leveraging new organizing schemes(and some help from rule-of-law countries) to prevent IP leakages, and be more precise in exploiting market opportunities

    1. It thus leads to a relative reduction in the benefits of trade for those close to ports or origin locations and a relative increase in these benefits for those far away.

    1. those that are disunified – are rejected (or not even considered) whatever their empirical success might be

      Another horrendous mistake, and one should recall Kuhn's concept of paradigm shift which describes the often painstaking process of displacing old theory with new, in light of new evidence.

    1. But, then, the existence of books, no matter how grim the tale, is itself a sign, evidence that humanity endures, in the very contagion of reading.

      The fables about contagion thus speaks on two front, in the narrative one is forced to see how contagious disease stripped away tolerance,compassion and reciprocity, the best qualities in human nature, leaving behind animal instincts, as they fall for the insurmountable death anxiety. Or at least it is so in the middle ages, when knowledge about science is so meager people resort to superstition. On the ontological side, these fables are the very proof humans will not succumb to the force of nature, and that there is always something more sublime than survival.
