This number could be anything depending on whether the price is collapsing because someone is trying to sell-out or rising because of hostile takeover...

The market cap of something like a company or a fake crypto coin or whatever is basically the number of outstanding shares that could be sold multiplied by the most recent sales price for some small number of shares. But the actual value of the asset in some sense should be the integral(p(n)dn,0,N) where p(n) is the price of the nth share and N is all the outstanding shares.

There's so many things I'd rather be doing than dealing with the fallout of Altadena burning to the ground followed by 4 years of Trump.

One thing it can be hard for people to understand is just how much food a family of two adults and two teen boys eats. Like, if you're a single adult woman living alone, my family goes through in one day what you do in an entire week.

The Guardian writing about #altadena. So many people have good intentions, but there's no question Altadena will change, both the character of the houses and landscape as well as the demographics of the people. It's sad, but I guess we can at best hope that the changes are not dramatically for the worse. Change is constant, but what we have to hope to avoid is #enshittification in the broader sense.

Not being expert in QM, I don't see what's the big deal about the series of Stern Gerlach experiments mentioned by Anonymous... Split the beam along the z axis, then split the z-up beam along the x axis.
Now we could do one of two experiments... Either split the x-up beam along the z axis (and get 50-50 z-up/down), or restore the split x-up/down beams to a single beam and measure z up as 100% z-up.
Anon says ...

"You cannot say that “different experiments are different” now. It’s measuring the same quantity of the same object (the z spin)."
But that's just wrong. Clearly the experiment where I don't combine the x-up/down beams is different from the one where I do combine the x-up/down beams, as there are very different apparatus in the path. It's mysterious to me why physicists think like this.

The crisis in scientific publishing is at its core another area of tension between authoritarian institutionalism and #anarchy. The people who are calling for "rigorous peer review" and to uphold "high editorial standards" and such are basically at their core trying to uphold a hierarchical view of society. There's "the people who are authorities" and "the little people who must bow to authority". It's trash, in the same way that capitalism is trash and a state run by elected elites is trash.

I want to put like 5 mini PCs on a 1U tray, with a managed switch and install it at a #colocation facility reachable from #Pasadena in less than an hour, and I want to pay like $100/mo for a gigabit uplink and power, with a /48 #IPv6. Anyone know how to make that happen?

Every West Hollywood drug store has a giant locked cabinet full of sex lube and clit stimulators. But you have to get a scowling 60 year old Slavic woman to unlock it so literally no one is buying.

I saw a couple of Whippets out for a walk with their human today. I assume they are named Devo and Good. Because of course they are.

The smell of West Hollywood is a mixture of legal Weed, Gymrat body spray, and overpowered Porsche SUV exhaust. I'm planning to bottle it and call it "Apocalypse Soon"

So the effort to get people to move to Signal for messaging was really helped by the desire of people to cooperate related to the fires. I've got almost everyone on my block switched to signal and participating in a block specific group chat. I've also got several editors of the community wiki collaborating via Signal. People won't switch until they see the benefit, and security isn't that important to most, but being able to share face photos, names, and have admins approve adding to the list..

So I've put out a call for people interested in editing articles for the #altadena wiki I've set up. Right now it's about getting reliable and comprehensive info about fire recovery resources all in one place. Currently each agency puts out some press releases etc and to figure out where you can get bottled water you need to check about 8 different websites. Anyone in the Fediverse in Altadena or #pasadena interested in helping?

I could use some techies in the #altadena community to help with #eatonfire and general community information. I'm planning to host a dokuwiki as a knowledgebase for the entire community. I'm going to spin up a linode to host it. I'd like to get 4-5 techie people who live in the community or have close ties to help put up a skeleton. To coordinate will use a Signal group (the encrypted app).

According to eyewitnesses third hand via my wife reading Facebook, the #eatonfire started when a branch fell onto the transmission lines above Eaton Canyon park, and it was reported by witnesses but took too long to respond, by then the wind had spread the embers to start the conflagration.

I'm trying to set up a Signal group for my street. I don't want private local emergency comms going over public SMS/MMS but it can be surprisingly hard to convince others that's a good idea. Doing my best.

Overnight I'm told my front yard sugarbush caught fire. Neighbor checked and doused it a bit while waiting for fire crew to respond, crew then came and put a bunch of water so I'm hoping my front yard is pretty safe from new fires.
