discrete vs analog

+ / - volume (discrete) vs a turning-knob volume (analog)
& the analog turning-knob volume uses a potentiometer to set the volume lvl
potentiometer is an electrical control device to alter the resistance of a resistor
a resistor is a roadblock for current
current is the water of electricity
electricity is ... confusing
any other ?'s?

@RickHunter7 @catedempsey Well ... We could break this down #Math style

Let V be the formula that reps a products value its user

So V has multiple inputs
> Cost
> Ease of Use
> Scalability
> Functionality (aka it does what the user needs)
.
.
.

& probably many more inputs haha
<to be cont>
@RickHunter7 @catedempsey Well, lets assume V is a linesr formula, ie non of its inputs directly multiple another input

Instead, inputs only are scaled or multipled by #scalars or floating point nums

Thus:
V(..inputs) = {
A*Cost +
B*EaseOfUse +
C*Scalability + ...
}

<to be cont>
@RickHunter7 @catedempsey Cool!

Now that V is abstractly def'ed, here comes the toughest part:

Determining the coefficients A thru however many there were needed

Lets assume we can determine proper coefficients

Next, we need to assign each candidate a score in each category

Every rule has an exception

Including ^ that one 😉
Huh 🤔 bummer, that claim MUST be false

If the rule "every rule has an exception" (Rule A) is true, then that very rule would need an exception

Lets say Rule X has no exceptions

But if Rule X is w/o exception, then Rule A is false

Therefore, Rule A is always false
#logic
THUS! there do exist fundamental rules / laws that are w/o any possible exceptions 😌

I wager that freelance-ish style primary work is going to become much more of a norm

I consider freelance-ish:
- Uber / Lyft
- Instacart
- TaskRabbit

And TIL about Postdates (see earlier Tweet)
There's benefits for the SAS company, benefits to the employee (flexible hours, catch-22 style set your own weekly earnings)
Well this opens the door to even MORE SAS approaches like a vacation savings holding app for online deposits to save up for that week long vacation from your freelance gigs

So many thoughts 😵

B4 I dive in, I have worked full-time in tandem with #USPS for 4 yrs, so borderline expert status (assuming 10,000hrs req'd)

Topics on which I wish to speak
1) Job Opportunity
2) why no elec voting
3) personal elaboration

cnn.com/2020/08/19/pol…
1A) if the #USPS is worried about a surge of mail-in ballots and they have dismantled their commingler machines (that's the technical name for the 'sorting machines' that the rpter was ref-ing) then why not pay out-of-work ppl a piece rate to act as commingler?
1B) weigh a bundle of LTRs as the #USPS drops the bundle off at the person's door, as not to count each separate LTR, so that the weight can be used to verify no LTRs went missing during person's sorting method

Awww the feeling of logging into my personal laptop after keeping it couped up in its carrying bag for too many days 😌

(Too many days == like 4 😆)
Enthusiasm slightly curtailed ...

Curse you Windows updates 😡

Commentary on "Menstrual Leave" & Male-Drivem Policy

#RevSickTime
<ESSAY>
1 / P, where P = 12
As a born and enthusiastically-practicing male, I have no real weight to offer to Ms Harikrishnan's argument

Now w/ that outta the way ...

Truthfully she raises valid points
2 / P
The male half of the human race has established and perpetuated the vast majority of all policies everywhere in every industry globally

I'm reminded of the saying "behind every great man, is a greater woman" and that sentiment has always provided me a small amt of solace
3 / P
But solace is not enough. Women are as capable and competent as men, and as such deserve fair opportunity and treatment

I would hope that no one contests this ideal
