What would the world look like if you visualized it in terms of all sorts of dimensions?

Picture this:

Every action as a dimension, or hyperplane in multi-dimensional space, transforming from one to another, all dependent on time.

If we were to plot this, what would it look like?

Then in theory you could have an entire model of someone's life.

The Red Pill Part 1: BRIFFAULT’S LAW

The female, not the male, determines all the conditions of the animal family. Where the female can derive no benefit from association with the male, no such association takes place.
There are a few corollaries I would add:
  • Past benefit provided by the male does not provide for continued or future association.
  • Any agreement where the male provides a current benefit in return for a promise of future association is null and void as soon as the male has provided the benefit (see corollary 1)
  • A promise of future benefit has limited influence on current/future association, with the influence inversely proportionate to the length of time until the benefit will be given and directly proportionate to the degree to which the female trusts the male (which is not bloody likely).

Saigo Takamori

敬天愛人


On Saigo Takamori's famous philosophy of "Respect the heavens and love the people".

I felt that it does make a whole lot of sense.

If one respects the heavens but does not love the people, he will have a very boring life free of company.

If one does not respect the heavens but does love the people, he will be an irrational but loving person.

If one doesn't respect the heavens and doesn't love people, he will be irrational and lonely.

If one respects the heavens and loves the people, there arises a question - what do you do, when?

Such is life.

Saigo had the same issue. In his last act of rebellion, he put people first, irrationally ignoring his chances.

Maybe reason always has to go first.

Why you should hire developers with IoT experience

IoT is full of side effects.

One action never just does one thing, there are multiple effects to every cause and multiple causes to every effect.

IoT developers learn to deal with this effectively using the latest functional reactive programming techniques.

Being able and used to figure out the side effects of any one change may have, as well as a clear picture of overall architecture is where IoT developers excel at.
