      8/ where one party, the one who does the publishing (we can call that person the "publisher", if you will) fronts the cash and makes an up front payment to the authors (one might call it an "advance" payment) simplifies things, lowers cognitive load, and lubricates the gears.

      I think N.taleb has the "permanent Is transient, transient is permanent" write-up in the end of the bed of procrustes He frames it in terms of the levantine diaspora and says that there are still people who view themselves as only temporarily displaced due to a short civil war

      When I worked at the plant, my mechanical maintenance team just considered welds as bolts with more work involved. Don’t like it? Get the gouging rod out and unweld it.

          Good thread. I've noticed this precise thing, in my case also from home renovation, and from being able to piece together a life without a job-as-such. Sometimes I miss the naive acceptance of built-spaces as just being an immutable given, though. https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1344674250872025088 …

          As the greatest compilation of epigrams of the 20th century--Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri--put it: Once a man has changed the relationship between himself and his environment he cannot return to the blissful ignorance he left. Motion, of necessity, involves a change in perspective

          Acquiring the knowledge of how to fix things (with proper tools) also causes me to view those things as less binary. Before, the thing is either 'broken' or 'not broken.' If broken it remains so unless I summon the right repairman to do required magic to make it 'not broken.'

          With knowledge and tools to fix it, I realize that some sub-part of the whole is malfunctioning, but the thing itself is actually functional! Just the sub-part needs fixing! Although knowing when something is not worth the time and effort to repair is an additional skill.

          Not legal advice per se, but if you're not looking to launch a full-time business, and she persists in being unresponsive, consider just ignoring any patents and going ahead anyway (via a corp or LLC for some degree of legal security). This is actually a variant on thread theme.
