delta-v

Could I interpret it this way?

In the EFE, if we move the cosmological constant factor to the right handside, where the stress–energy tensor is, then stress–energy tensor and the cosmological constant factor have opposite signs and stress–energy tensor can overcome the cosmological constant factor.

When we say EM-forces/Strong/Weak forces "cancel out" the expansion of the universe, it isn't because of those forces are holding matters together. But they contribute to the stress–energy tensor and "offset-ed" the effect of the cosmological constant factor.

Even without those forces, as long as the stress–energy tensor is greater than the cosmological constant factor, the solution of EFE will be non expanding.

Does this sound right to you? Thanks.

Due to the nature of the format, loading USDZ will always be slower than loading glTf. No matter how many smart engineers and money you throw on it, you can't optimize it faster. It's due to the nature of the data it stored inside. It takes more computation to translate USDZ than glTf to the format renderer/calculation uses.

The example you given is actually irrelevant for consumer use cases. For consumers, loading speed matters. They are interactive apps. They can't spend too much time loading. While for film studio, they are batch rendering scenes. Loading speed is a lot less important.

PITR is a lot slower especially if there are large transactions in the binlog.

That's not what Aurora is doing. What you have described is more like "git revert". It's O(num of transcation in the undo log).

Aurora is a log structured db, they can just reset their DB to a particular LSN. i.e. doing "git reset --hard", which's O(1).

How about saying replacing the current system with proportional representation? Is that a useful comment?

US politics is broken because the majority is being under represented both in Congress and in presidential election.

We should work together on getting rid of the ancient and manipulated election system and revamp it with a modern proportional representative system.
