At Minneapolis' Guthrie Theater, "Richard II," "Henry IV (combined)" and "Henry V" bring Shakespeare's English histories to life with the edge of the seat gripping themes of struggle, providence, and duty. The ensemble cast shines in their portrayal of these historic tales, while bringing a contemporary energy to the roles without detracting from the story staged before the viewer. The content and thematics are strong and especially good for those making "one more, last attempt" at understanding Shakespeare's prowess in storytelling that remains in contemporary times.

While the audience can participate in singular performances, those that make the 11.5 hour marathon performance commitment will kindly be guided in an intimate journey from text book word wizardry of Richard II to the a fantastical dynamic story telling of Henry V that only the likes Shakespeare can reap critical acclaim for in a historical drama. The Guthrie Theater's staged and cast performance does not disappoint.

Wars end and it must be difficult to convince Simon Ostrovsky and Ben Anderson to stay on or even captain their own ship in the fleet let alone get Morris to do something other than pharmacopia.

New implementations are generally regarded as good in the space because they help solidify the underlying protocols and add established libraries and routines in a new programming language.

But killed Calculus with Archimedes.

I meant The Romans, started out as an agrarian culture where Ceasars were more interested in tending the farm than politics that evolved into the spectacle that Rome is now known for.

Not ready to drop a book on HN regarding the nuance of Roman evolution just yet.

Thus my "musing conspiracy"....

Thanks for posting the link. Much of my commentary comes from past research on Archimedes... so I am biased and amused.

If I recall the founding of Syracuse is by Spartans and Corinthians... Archimedes society cared enough about knowledge that he was sent to Alexandria to study. Syracuse was a melting pot of cultures from the start and the Phonecians and the roman conflicts reinforced that to the end.

The Roman were truly a successful agrarian civilization, but became lackluster in progress from there.

They never made an overwhelming shift to mathematical / science based civilization. They took over Syracuse with a mandate to keep Archimedes alive, but that failed. Some scholars say the only roman contribution to math was numerals.

Basically they reaped the profits of empire, and fell into the cargo cults of opulent success, abandoning the prior agricultural based common sense by never integrating new ideas in the Aristotelian domains except for to pay homage to the originating culture enough to collect taxes.

Great tip.

Archimedes in the Sand Reckoner cites to be solving on a problem from the "Eastern Philosophers". The problem is also in the Vajra Sutra where the numbers of sands in the cosmos is contemplated.

Archimedes Father was an astronomer.

Great parallel lives material that never maid it into the original.

The Antikytheron is written in a Corinthian dialect, from where Archimdes father is said to have come from.

My musing consiracy theory for the Roman sacking of Syracuse was for the Antikythera from which harvest and thus taxes could be better calculated - i.e. Thales.

But the Romans killed the only guy who understood how the Antikythera worked.... so it became a generals paper weight.

The key innovation and premise behind Ethereum was to use a virtual machine to enable smart contracts on blockchains. Now virtual machine interpreters for blockchains is common if not standard. Tough to imagine Ethereum failing any promises based on that premise.

sctp only be came widely available after websockets and I think due to data channel implementations in WebRTC.
