Interesting also how he fantasizes about needing get someone else to do it for him.

I think this is what he daydreams about when he wanks.

One in 25000? Surely you mean that as a subset of those with postpartum depression? That would mean over 144 cases of homicide per year linked to postpartum psychosis. Seems a lot more rare than that.

"Over regulating" robotics would prevent widespread use of robotic labor from ever becoming common.

Nice post and an interesting comparison, but I think there's one big difference: live music remains hugely popular and a big business despite recording technology, but you don't see a lot of people showing off their arithmetic skills for profit. Today's mathematicians are more akin to composers.

There's also an interesting historical side to the analogy, as the separation between composers and performing musicians is relatively modern (and only really applies to classical art music genres anyway). And as you pointed out about Euler et al, modern math started out as a way to simplify practical calculations, such as the geometry of farming and city planning, or accounting. But this also shows a crucial difference: music has never been so much about practical utility as it's about esthetic or emotional experience. So while modern math has become a thing with its own sense of beauty, simply adding up numbers isn't very fun — though some might disagree.

FTFY.

Just an FYI, but other Russian firms have set up shell companies in Cyprus to evade sanctions:

If any Russian firm claims to have moved to Cyprus, it's a feint. Lookin at you, Owlcat.

This migration is not new. It's been happening for many years already.

If slower Internet were cheaper then maybe they would. But it often isnt.

You can't tell if entangled particles have been observed, or not?

That is the suspicion.

Are they turning this on with or without permission of the customer? Would they tell you if they did it on their own?

That blackout from last year in Spain and Portugal was embarrassing and destructive to the lives of those who experienced it.
