No. These are different things. One’s an illusion. One’s real.

You’re right. It’s just cheap junk, boring and drab.

so I skimmed

Okay.

It looks like a twist because it does a twist.

No, it’s an illusion at scale. You almost say so yourself in your next sentence.

There’s no angle where you realize the windows don’t actually change planes.

Discreet flat planes constitute an illusion of a curve at scale. There are no curved components. They used offsets and angles in the outer layer. All the windows are flat planes. You can see the rectangles yourself just as you can see the triangles in a geodesic structure’s approximation of a complex curve.

A modern true curve is still often made from wood. If there’s money it’s laminated I-beam. But, curving or twisting structural steel is breaking all sorts of cardinal rules. Assuming safety is valued, cost rises exponentially from construction through build out and into maintenance and repair. An exception is large ships. That’s why they’re so expensive.

It’s very obvious you’re now trying to make a point

An artist and an engineer were given a modest budget and found a way to ask an obvious question to which the is answer is: It depends upon the perspective each of us chooses.

If you look closely you can see the flat planes and angles. There are no curves. You can see the truth of it yourself. It’s right there.

They’re obviously some intelligent people to be designing such things at all. Imagine how many times they’ve been talking about some subject or another and said, “Hey, friend, if you look more closely you can see (whatever truth) for yourself.”

Then the other person says, “It twists.”

Amazing piece of art, huh?

I’m “on about” the quality of communication that defines humans from the other animals, which has been in a nosedive for a quarter century, which is now so heavily corrupted it’s leading us to our doom.

What are you on about? Minimization and what else?

So, it’s an illusion made out of entirely untwisted components. Imagine that.

It’s truthful. I cared enough to tell them.

Wow. I’ve never before seen a comment history so devoid of content and with so little care for presentation that it was reasonable to no longer want to see their posts.

It’s a cut into the exterior that creates an illusion, leaving the core intact. If it was anything different then it’d not be standing.

I know enough about aerodynamics to speak generally about typical designs. But, this isn’t a typical design. Insight needs an aero engineer with some experience.

I think the architecture is really cool because it looks like a twist at first glance, but isn’t.

Karlatornet (lit. ‘The Karla Tower’, initially called Polstjärnan) is a skyscraper under construction by Serneke in Lindholmen in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Capital is dead labour, that, vampire-like, only lives by sucking living labour, and lives the more, the more labour it sucks.

Nothing matters if there’s no meaningful choice on the ballot. And, your single issue perspective is part of the problem: You put your feelings first.

if my ISP provided prefix changes… affects the IP addressing on my local network.

IPv6 is just people shouting NAT BAD… Having every device have a public IP6 address I’d an anti-featute.

If you’re working in IT then you should find a new career.

That’s definitely not the quality of answer I was expecting. Thank you. I’d not realized Sony has been such an innovator.

48V, 10A at 6 feet or less length requires 16awg wire for <=3% loss (which is the critical appliance standard rather than the more lax <= 10% used for most DC circuits). That’s a wire with a conductor diameter of 1.3mm ~= 0.05in.

The cable probably isn’t 10A rated. But, it’s not an overly thick wire to get it done. Most of the girth is insulation and shielding.

This is overly simplified. And, I didn’t care to watch the video.

Why is the “high end” brand Sony?

About 1998: I tried to ask a Sony receiver to deliver about 80% published RMS. After about two minutes it went into a protection mode, never to recover, bricked.

About 2005: A used Sony 5.1 HT setup’s receiver failed. The speakers said 4 Ohm on them. An HK 4 ohm stable receiver begs to differ. Speakers went to Craigslist.

I’ve been avoiding Sony for nearly 20 years. Are they doing something right for playback devices such as a CD player?

Because if you don’t do as the others then you’re perceived as personally attacking their bandwagon comfort. Said another way, your nuanced ideology is far less important than their shallow feelings.
