For 11 years I have talked conspiracy theorists off the ledge using microwave ovens as examples. The President can write an Executive Order laying claim to anything you own. However, they will never have the manpower to enforce this. No Congress will authorize this.

The people they send would have conflicts of interest immediately with relatives, friends, and loved ones. The seizures would have to take place simultaneously with every adult household in the US or people could hide their assets.

So, remember where we are:

When n = 4k, Ω₃(n) is the space of quaternionic subspaces of ℍᵏ. Next we want to understand Ω₄(n), a space of minimal geodesics in Ω₃(n). But geodesics from where to where?

Milnor assumes k = 2i, writes ℍᵏ = ℍⁱ ⊕ ℍⁱ, and lets Ω₄(n) be the space of minimal geodesics from ℍⁱ ⊕ {0} to {0} ⊕ℍⁱ. The good news: these geodesics correspond to ways of extending the obvious action of

Cliff₃ ≅ ℍ ⊕ ℍ

on ℍⁱ ⊕ ℍⁱ to an action of

Cliff₄ ≅ M₂(ℍ).

When I was a teenager I knew that I wasn't a lesbian. But it wasn't as simple as calling myself bisexual, either. and I didn't have to think about it too hard, because there was queer, right there, an umbrella term big enough to cover all of us, an invitation to solidarity and inclusion. it was easy. it didn't leave anyone out. it was quick and efficient. you could say it like a flung rock. you could sing it like an aria. it had defiance built in.

This shot of Lake Michigan reminds me of the shoreline not far from where my gramma and grampa Jopek lived in Harbert, Michigan.

“Daddy what is this cable?”

“Oh that’s called a parallel cable. A DB-25 if I remember correctly.”

“What do you use it for?”

“Literally nothing.”

“Are you going to throw it away then?”

“Absolutely not.”

@dangillmor
There are no "correct" uses of words like "lose" and "wealth" here, that make it "innumerate" or otherwise wrong to say that he lost $200 billion.

No one thinks that he had that much in a bank vault in cash, and had to give it back. :)

It's entirely reasonable to describe a $N drop in "theoretical wealth" as "losing $N".

I don't really understand the vehemence that some people put into this kind of claim. (Except when they say that some billionaire isn't "really rich" because their wealth is mostly in stock. I gather you aren't doing that here.)

I wrote a few threads based on my #research on #Brexit. This is a means of an #introduction. I am a Prof of @economics at Warwick Uni.

1) Did #austerity cause #Brexit? Short answer: yes.
econtwitter.net/@fetzert/10934

2) #Bregret is NOT a recent phenomena:
econtwitter.net/@fetzert/10962

3) Why is the #PennyDropping on so many #Leave voters or #Brexit implementation supporters that voted #Remain?
econtwitter.net/@fetzert/10965

4) Have dodgy #OpinionPoll's shaped the electorate in 2016?

Just found out this afternoon that I was impacted, aka laid off from my job at Intel. My research expertise is no longer needed, at least on my current team.

If you know of openings in UX research, sustainability, responsible AI, and/or the future of work, in industry, academic, and nonproft contexts, I’m here #techlayoffs #uxresearch #mastojobs #academia

It was "woke" people who ended slavery, ended Jim Crow, passed Constitutional amendment guaranteeing women the right to vote, passed both Civil Rights and Voting Rights Act plus championed marriage equality. Now you get why the GOP hates people who are woke.

Republican billionaire donors, like Koch & Thiel, seek to create a "new world order" of corporate feudalism. It's really just neofascism.
