Luckily he emailed them to me…

topic: homepages

[x] 1. images are not a problem
[x] 2. talk on the web is usually a distraction

[x] a. it’s like the news
[x] b. proofs

4. which is why email/usenet are more efficient in technical conversations

3. how to coordinate a voice conference over the internet
[x] note to self: answer: let it roll on its own.

topic: miss south carolina

[x] 1. she’s technically right (modulo perhaps some understandable nonsense).
[x] and it exemplifies the current educational systems in the entire
world

fun with notes:
talk trace: miss south carolina -> education -> society -> logic (nazi
argument) -> physics -> logic (rejecting assumptions) -> physics
(relativity) -> assumptions -> physics (relativity) -> talk trace ->
society (rebels, anarchism) -> linguistics -> logic (proofs, axioms,
language) -> stuff -> rpg

Crapchat hosts Eli Sacks and Mark Essel are joined by special guest Daniel Bastos.  The discussion begins with blackhole radiation, covers the defective planes, and then moves on the complexity of the human body.

Part 1:

(er, a block at Earth’s surface, weighing 1 kg, lifted 1 meter: PE = mgh = 1 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 1 m = 9.8 kg m^2/s^2 = about 10 joules, not 1 joule)
