List of Plaintiffs, from the filing document:

UMG RECORDINGS, INC., CAPITOL RECORDS, LLC, CONCORD BICYCLE ASSETS, LLC, CMGI RECORDED MUSIC ASSETS LLC, SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT, and ARISTA MUSIC

Perhaps also add a list of all the works that they mentioned during the lawsuit?

Yeah, really a lot of components in calculation of work.
And every component can be a separate research paper.
Good that I didn’t try to articulate all of them.

That’s only going to affect me if I am reading something particularly boring and don’t really want to read it.
But if that were the case, I wouldn’t be reading it in the first place.

I don’t feel the need to rid myself of distractions, because when I am not in the mood to read a book, I don’t read it.

Also, this “distracted by functionality” logic is what parents seem to use to get rid of stuff with a screen.
I can say for sure, that people being loud in another room is a much bigger distraction.
If your OS is distracting you, you have installed the wrong one.

I really like being able to Ctrl+F through my book.
But there just seems to be some kind of feel to flipping a page that makes me feel more focussed.

I came here to say this. You worded it better.

Considering that
Power = WorkDone / TimeTaken
and lets just say for this instance that WorkDone is same for the jet and for the teleporter^[1], which is kinda wrong, but won’t matter anyway as you see further.

Then,
Power_teleporter = Power_jet × TimeTaken_jet / TimeTaken_teleporter

then going with “instantaneous”

With limit(TimeTaken_teleporter ⟶ 0)

Power_teleporter ⟶ ∞

Now, someone will ask, what if WorkDone in case of teleportation is actually close to 0.
But that won’t happen, simply because the minimum value for WorkDone in that case would be equivalent to the change in gravitational potential, making it a significant amount as compared to the other limits.

Oh and digital goods do have an energy cost, btw.

Yeh, then it would be teleportation costs.

To advertising companies, maybe yes.
But to the ones making the advertisement, we are the wall between them and their money, which just needs to be gotten out of the way.

Yeah, when I first got a link to a whitepaper in the newsletter, I expected it to be a… a whitepaper (I read the meaning it had back then).
After reading it properly, as if I would an academic paper, I thought it was weird that I didn’t feel like I learnt anything useful.

It would take a while (and a few other whitepapers) for me to realise what it had become.

Guess that’s why the big guys want people to be neurotypical.
To make it easier to sell them stuff.

Hmm, I don’t know how many people they were serving,
but with $5k a month, I think I could buy enough hardware to increase concurrent user count by at least 500 every month. And that is including the internet and cooling bill.

nimbus

Ah man too many variants to keep track of.

When I got COVID, it luckily wasn’t too bad. None of the “loss of senses” stuff.
Just had some weakness and reduced metabolism (ok, I did get pretty slim in the wrong places) for ~ a month and was then kinda fine.
The second time I got it, only a little weakness. I even walked over to the clinic for testing, alone.

And I’d call that very lucky, considering that the common flu, the next year, ended up being worse on me.

When I read “minimal” and “text-based”, I think of being able to type a post in a native text-editor like say vim and then send it to the server using a user-token and an ssh key using something lighter than git push.

Having to start up a browser or a web-app does not really feel “minimal” and would be really hard on my IBM R52.

There was a cartoon on it too, no?

Simple:

1. Drink water
2. I Clear the snot in the wash basin every 30 minutes
3. I Don’t drink the snot that comes in backwards from your my nose, no matter how lazy you are I am feeling
   • spit it out in the wash basin
   • this way you I don’t get cough
4. I don’t take paracetamol or symptomatic relief medicine, instead keep 2-3 handkerchiefs to keep it clean
5. Sinuses blocked and blowing nose is not enough, there is a medicine for it. But if you can, try some mace and nutmeg powder instead.
6. Fever? Yes. I Sleep with it.
   • Feeling weak, I take some ORS (the one with sugar in it)

And the most important part, don’t go around coughing/snorting it at other people.

Sinuses blocked

There’s 2 types of medicines for this.
1 will dry up your nose, essentially stopping the exit of pathogens via that vector. The other will convert blocked-nose to running nose.
The 2nd one is desirable, if you want it to actually get fixed. Of course, you will need to clean your nose more often, as a result.

Because then it won’t be creamed.

Let’s hope your 2^nd factor is not SMS

Not sure what “Just commenting here for the” means here, but
here’s my comment for “I’ve got nothing to show you either.”

Well, I can buy a GPS map device. Cash payments are not much of a problem until the Govt. starts adding that extra tax on cash withdrawal from ATMs. I will need to wait for companies to grow a brain and stop using WhatsApp for work.

For all else, I use my computer anyway.

Well, we have doping in physical sports…
