Re: [FRIAM] Schwill Rock?

The minimum energy required to do something is the way that can be expected from nature. Google and Slack make that all the more obvious. I suspect the canals have always been there, but it was less obvious how they were constraining us. I tend to think any question has been considered in m

Re: [FRIAM] Schwill Rock?

Oh, and I forgot probably the funniest example. For those of you still employed, how amazing is it when you mention something in a stand-up meeting that you are attempting to do and your coworkers: 1) Each does a google search 2) Posts in a slack channel the same 5 results you got when looking for

Thanks, Jon. Pandora does a pretty good job of playing music I like based on my thumbs up. Except when Matthew's choices get mixed in. I've heard "Old Town Road" quite enough. --- Frank C. Wimberly 140 Calle Ojo Feliz, Santa Fe, NM 87505 505 670-9918 Santa Fe, NM On Mon, Oct 11, 2021, 7:23 PM

Thanks for asking, Frank. On Friday, Glen mentioned that he was attempting to train his music streaming service to identify *Schwill Rock*[0]. This is amidst the ongoing discussions we have, on the server, regarding the foundations of statistics[1], the use of AI in the legal system, and the recurr

Re: [FRIAM] [dis]integrated

Yeah I don’t know. For some years I was working in ocean-floor engineering, and got a feel for seawater. For all the devices you design, it is all-surrounding and omnipresent. It relentlessly intrudes through any crack, seam, or pore, and it corrodes whatever it touches. For whatever reaso

[FRIAM] Schwill Rock?

Do the dwarves[1] count? The _Pandora Problem_ reared its ugly head again this afternoon. Bosque was jamming out to some classic Rick Rubin recorded awesomeness, when Spotify's automated DJ passed things off to Space Hog. Can some lurker with power solve this problem and soon? [1] https://www.you

Re: [FRIAM] [dis]integrated

Doesn't work for me. My parents are in a very liberal church and (I think) like it because it gives some structure and support in their community. My dad's (I think formative) education at a strong liberal arts college probably contributed to my tendency to deconstruct things. I'm not part

Re: [FRIAM] [dis]integrated

I would describe my parents (and other close relatives) as dutifully (but not emotionally) Jewish and emotionally committed to the Jewish community. I'm a complete atheist but still have an emotional attachment to the Jewish community. That seems consistent with the video. -- Russ Abbott Professor

Re: [FRIAM] Unexpected success

There are a number of chains like Applebees including TGIF, Red Robin. I went to a Red Robin many years ago and they had large play area like a McDonalds would have. The difference is that they have alcohol to serve with the prepared frozen food. Idea is the parents can come there for an e

Re: [FRIAM] Unexpected success

There is a funny aspect about it, but it is not specific for a certain country. The funny part for me is that he was never really successful as an artist and lived a moderate life in a suburb of Nashville. It was a silly dance posted by his daughter on TikTok that brought him success, not the ha
