You have it somewhat backwards -- they wanted to get the word out, and the government had been suppressing discussion actively. They used IPFS to circumvent that.
"Already taken place" is not crucial, as the conditional can obviously be placed on it continuing.
Plus, an action like an embargo or sanction can be devastating to a country while still being "non-military". That old BS embargo on Iraq has claimed hundreds of thousands lives for example [1].
In fact, what we do have now is that "non-military" action happening, and no counter-response. So, it's more like them sucking up and taking it, with some verbal threats added to save face.
> If I write a theory and take over an existing word in everyday use, it seems a bit much to accuse every one else of colloquialism when they use an existing but less strict definition?
It does, but engineering is a technical profession and it's practitioners are likely familiar with the mathematical concept.
I've read about applications of chaos theory in system design, and I expected 'Principals of Chaos Engineering' to be about that topic.
The problem I have with the name is that it feels like their audience is people not familiar with the mathematical concept. In other words, not engineers; in other words, non-technical managers. And that marks it as the latest marketing fluff being pitched by management consultants.
Funny you say that. I had to restrain myself from using that term. Technically, chaotic systems are only a subset of nonlinear systems. For example, solitons are nonlinear, but neither are they chaotic.
If these represent 70% of cancers overall and ~40% of the US population will get a cancer diagnosis at some point then it seems likely you can find many populations with more than a 5% chance of having cancer.
OK, but if I have a 40% chance of getting a cancer diagnosis at some point in my life, and they run the test as part of my physical every year, then presumably my chance of having cancer at the time they run the test is much less than 5%.
That just means you should not give someone the test every year.
At 70 people have a much higher risk of cancer than 7. Long term smokers have higher risks than non smokers. Combine multiple risk factors and find groups with 5+% risk of these kinds of cancers is not that difficult.
No information can travel more than a foot (11.8 inches) in a nanosecond. Grace Hopper used to give a talk where she held up a piece of wire that was that long to illustrate this limitation. [1]
The first Cray computers were designed in a cylindrical shape to keep the signal wires short. [2]
