Crumbs and pennies I need all of mine

I've heart this being repeated a lot so it is likely not something you came up with yourself.

I always become suspicious when a software engineer has been working on a problem +10 years. The type that spend their time upgrading angularJS to angular or something like that.

He is a kwak, instead of actual science he shills these ideas on podcasts because the general public is interested in it or something like that. Whenever I meet someone from Harvard I think of this guy and automatically think less of them. Maybe that is wrong of me but then the Harvard alumni ought to have called him out on his BS.

I've been part of 4 commercial project that used the semantic web in one way or another. All these project or at least their semantic web part where a failure. I think that I have a good idea on where the misunderstanding about the semantic web originate. The author does seem to have a good understanding and is right about the semantic web forcing everything into a single schema. Academia sells the straight jacked of the semantic web as a life long free lunch at an all-you-can eat-buffet but instead you are convicted to a life sentence in prison. Adopting RDF is just too costly because it is never the way computers or humans structure data in order to work with it. Of course everything can be organised in a hyper graph, there is a reason why Steven Wolfram also uses this structure, they just so flexible. At the end of the day I don't agree with the author opinion of the semantic web having much of a future, I did my best but it didn't work out, time for other things.

Unrelenting these people pretending to be your friend, life so futile it borders on evil.

How does what I say validate all or any criticism of science, I just don't think that people who work in this industry get to take all progress though human history and put that on their own lapel.

Do you know this podcast decoding the guru, it is funny at times in breaking down internet persona like Jordan Peterson and Eric Weinstein but what annoys me about it though is this "researchers" talking about fringe internet phenomena. Sure you can find your cooks on the internet but maybe they should point their sharp criticism at their own sometimes and draw conclusions from it, as in stop funding it.

What do you call people that disagree to agree on something ... a research community. For all the good science I know I can equally find you the most asinine navel gazing triviality repackaged and sold as groundbreaking progress. Please don't get me started on what experts in innovation management ISO 56002:2019 can do to help valorise all this knowledge as they piss on us from from the top floor of their ivory tower.

People I know in academia complain about the same issues, publish or perish and all that. They even opine about formal economic models that predict that more funding/subsidies for science leads perversely to less outcome in total and not just relative to the size of the additional investment. However when you take all this as a reason to not take this industry as serious as they would like they get all offended.

Funny he don't mention recruiting engineers hate it but is what the OG's did.

It is the opinion of the EU Comission that monopolies are ok as long as they do not abuse their power and if they do they get slapped with a fine.

I bet C# and F# are actually nice languages and I shortly considered adopting them together with Unity but at the end of the day I was still suspicious of Microsoft, and support for other platforms then windows. The article honestly sounds a bit like a straw man argument. Maybe bloomberg could have made another tech choice but then again I don't know the details.

No, but there are algebraic structures that allow for this, like the Riemann sphere. The proper way to talk about this is the concept of "zero dividers". For Z the only zero divider is zero, 0/0=0.

The closest thing to what you describe is the the dual number (that together with the imaginary and hyperbolic numbers make the geometric numbers), which has zero dividers, and is defined as k^2=0 (where k is not in R).

This is a very interesting number and it can help clean up a lot of problems when using complex numbers.

He got fired because he was embarrassing his employer.
