No. These are different things. One’s an illusion. One’s real.

You’re right. It’s just cheap junk, boring and drab.

so I skimmed

Okay.

It looks like a twist because it does a twist.

No, it’s an illusion at scale. You almost say so yourself in your next sentence.

There’s no angle where you realize the windows don’t actually change planes.

Discreet flat planes constitute an illusion of a curve at scale. There are no curved components. They used offsets and angles in the outer layer. All the windows are flat planes. You can see the rectangles yourself just as you can see the triangles in a geodesic structure’s approximation of a complex curve.

A modern true curve is still often made from wood. If there’s money it’s laminated I-beam. But, curving or twisting structural steel is breaking all sorts of cardinal rules. Assuming safety is valued, cost rises exponentially from construction through build out and into maintenance and repair. An exception is large ships. That’s why they’re so expensive.

It’s very obvious you’re now trying to make a point

An artist and an engineer were given a modest budget and found a way to ask an obvious question to which the is answer is: It depends upon the perspective each of us chooses.

If you look closely you can see the flat planes and angles. There are no curves. You can see the truth of it yourself. It’s right there.

They’re obviously some intelligent people to be designing such things at all. Imagine how many times they’ve been talking about some subject or another and said, “Hey, friend, if you look more closely you can see (whatever truth) for yourself.”

Then the other person says, “It twists.”

Amazing piece of art, huh?

I’m “on about” the quality of communication that defines humans from the other animals, which has been in a nosedive for a quarter century, which is now so heavily corrupted it’s leading us to our doom.

What are you on about? Minimization and what else?

So, it’s an illusion made out of entirely untwisted components. Imagine that.

It’s truthful. I cared enough to tell them.

Wow. I’ve never before seen a comment history so devoid of content and with so little care for presentation that it was reasonable to no longer want to see their posts.

It’s a cut into the exterior that creates an illusion, leaving the core intact. If it was anything different then it’d not be standing.

I know enough about aerodynamics to speak generally about typical designs. But, this isn’t a typical design. Insight needs an aero engineer with some experience.

I think the architecture is really cool because it looks like a twist at first glance, but isn’t.

Karlatornet (lit. ‘The Karla Tower’, initially called Polstjärnan) is a skyscraper under construction by Serneke in Lindholmen in Gothenburg, Sweden.

A mod deleted my comment and suggested I approach in a better way. I apologize for my presentation.

You were righteously angry. And, it’s definitely not ethical for the other to respond to words with physical violence.

I’m a multiple-minority with a strong sense of justice. I speak from experience when I say: We must pick our battles and means wisely, particularly since the orange baffoon emboldened a wide scope and magnitude of hatred.

I wasn’t there. But, it seems almost certain this was not a wise battle for you to fight alone, perhaps at all. There’s almost certainly something you should learn from this. And, whatever it is to be learned, it’s definitely not to silence yourself and advocate others follow.

If you tell us more and solicit others’ input then maybe there’s insight we could offer. And, if this isn’t a safe enough space to do that, PM me. I’ll share a place where such a post would be very well-received.

48V, 10A at 6 feet or less length requires 16awg wire for <=3% loss (which is the critical appliance standard rather than the more lax <= 10% used for most DC circuits). That’s a wire with a conductor diameter of 1.3mm ~= 0.05in.

The cable probably isn’t 10A rated. But, it’s not an overly thick wire to get it done. Most of the girth is insulation and shielding.

This is overly simplified. And, I didn’t care to watch the video.

The Pixel 9 is broken. The correct question is if we’ve figured out how it’s broken or need more time.

I don’t answer questions twice.

I can’t dumb it down any more. Perhaps another can do so.

I mean the stock market is literally gambling

I’ve a better record of success than the most successful poker players. Is it ten years of good luck or the consequences of effort and skill?

The proposal is whether or not we should allow people to use unrealized gains to secure loans without having to pay taxes on said gains at the point of taking the loan.

Thus locking out all non-corporate investors from margin, prerequisite to options, prerequisite to risk mitigation and gains enhancement. The average investor looses the freedom to do much more than DCA a fund.

This would only occur if you’re worth more than 100 million.

1. It’ll never be passed in such a way. Legislation always favors the corporate and wealthy as they’re the ones that write it. It’s most perverse in finance and investment. There’s been nothing favoring human investors since the breakup of Ma Bell.

2. It’s totally inadequate to save the republic from the nearly-unmitigated, algorithmically-optimized capitalism that exists today. The biggest fish, corporations, would simply get bigger by eating their biggest threat: humans with a lot of resources, but not the most affluent.

The stock market is a tool. It’s not the cause.

TL;DR:

The neolib’s proposal is crap.

This isn’t:

1. legislate away most of corporate personhood

2. restore the Glass-Steagall Act

3. repeal the Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act
