  • Co-op delivery company in the works?!

    Great on Tony, doing the damn thing!

    https://fitsmallbusiness.com/what-is-a-cooperative-co-op/

    A cooperative, or co-op, is an organization owned and controlled by the people who use the products or services the business produces. Cooperatives differ from other forms of businesses because they operate more for the benefit of members, rather than to earn profits for investors.

    Co-ops are organized to provide competition, improve bargaining power, reduce costs, expand new and existing market opportunities, improve product or service quality, and obtain unavailable products or services (products or services that profit-driven companies don’t offer because they see them as unprofitable).

    Cooperatives present lots of opportunities for small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs. In this post, I’ll go over how cooperatives work, why you should form one, and how you can start one for your business.

    edit: fix similarities typo

    Awesome to see the similarities between: Newtonian Mechanics and Quantum mechanics

    Coulomb’s law was essential to the development of the theory of electromagnetism and maybe even its starting point, as it allowed meaningful discussions of the amount of electric charge in a particle.

    Here, ke is a constant, q1 and q2 are the quantit>ies of each charge, and the scalar r is the distance between the charges.

    Being an inverse-square law, the law is similar to Isaac Newton’s inverse-square law of universal gravitation, but gravitational forces always make things attract, while electrostatic forces make charges attract or repel. Also, gravitational forces are much weaker than electrostatic forces. Coulomb’s law can be used to derive Gauss’s law, and vice versa. In the case of a single point charge at rest, the two laws are equivalent, expressing the same physical law in different ways. The law has been tested extensively, and observations have upheld the law on the scale from 10−16 m to 108 m.


  • Off topic thought I had when I saw this, more on the system being the problem.

    This made me think of an interview with Richard Wolff and Lex Fridman.

    Richard tries to explain his views on Marxism and Communism, #295.

    He mentions problems with academia, and how it is tied to the corporate world.

    Around 1:41:00, gov’t/academics/corporations are all tied together in keeping the same system going.

    To try and get back to topic, it may have to do with the kind of people needed to excel in competitive areas like a university/company/government.

    Less on taking care of people and more on competing with each other to be the best…

    Reminds me of sports and the fierce environment it produces. Some people adapt and become like them or they feel isolated.

    Haven’t thought of small phones in a while, unless you look into dumb phones, like Nokia 3310 reboot.

    Great little phone, but does not have smart features that smart phones have.

    Nice to see the sizes being compared, I was not expecting it, but wow have phone become huge.

    I wonder if Pine64 or similar would create a small phone, they have launched phones before…
