All is not lost: but is it ok to tell people who think it will "automatically" fix itself and everything will return to "normal" that hope can be paralytic?
The problems we face won't be fixed for free by the institutions that have already failed.
2d patch sizes are 1/D^2 at distance D, so we need to integrate D/D^2 d pos or int 1/D d pos. That is nastier. Still, I think easier than doing real solid angle trig?
Measure of integration with a density instead of integrating over an angle? Like integrate over the surface but weigh by distance (which is speed the angle crosses the surface)? Removes need to understand volume angle integration.
Oh well, I was never good at integrating. But this is fun. :)
I sort of want to do the math for a corner. For a given spot, a 90 degree arc points at a corner, meeting edges at right angles. Average distance is ~ to size and is a function of L:W ratio.
There is a pile of symmetry in these corners. And if you solve for 1 corner and uniform start, it is x4.
Filibuster turns out breaks a democracy. Unable to do anything without 75% support *except* cut taxes via budget reconciliation, your government is paralyzed.
Previously you could bribe senators to break ranks using earmarks; that was killed, and laws became impossible to pass.
It isn't the opposition that is being tested. It is MAWA and the security services. Can they sell it to the security services and to the unwashed masses of supporters and to the MAWA elites?
The opposition they intend to oppress, imprison or slaughter.
Navy killing brown civilians is a test. ICE/BP beating up and stuffing in camps brown people on the street is a test. Security services who refuse to comply get 86'd and those that obey get tested further.
Publicly calling the opposition traitors is preparation for the next test.
