Podcasts about Impossibility

This lecture explores the principles of contract interpretation, performance obligations, breach of contract, and the rights of third parties. It covers how courts interpret contracts, the significance of performance standards under common law and UCC, the implications of breach, and the conditions under which performance may be excused. The lecture emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts for effective contract law practice.TakeawaysCourts interpret contracts to reflect the parties' intentions.The plain meaning rule is the starting point for interpretation.Substantial performance allows enforcement despite minor defects.The perfect tender rule requires exact conformity in UCC contracts.Conditions can be express, implied, or constructive.Material breaches excuse the non-breaching party's performance.Anticipatory repudiation allows for immediate legal action.Third parties can acquire rights through assignment or delegation.Impossibility and impracticability can excuse performance.Frustration of purpose can prevent enforcement of contracts.Chapters00:00 Understanding Contract Interpretation04:13 Performance Obligations in Contracts08:01 Breach of Contract and Its Consequences11:49 Rights of Third Parties and Excusing Performancecontract interpretation, performance obligations, breach of contract, third-party rights, contract law, UCC, common law, anticipatory repudiation, conditions, legal doctrines

Dhruv and Cris are entering the endlessly mysterious world(s) of David Lynch for the first time (of many!) this year. And joining them, in his very first (QID) outing, is Devarsi Ghosh (@devarsighosh), a film journalist doubling as their Lynch guide for this trip to Lynch's nightmarish evocation of Philadelphia in his feature-length debut film, "Eraserhead" (1977).Before reaching there, however, they all describe their introductions to Lynch Land, what it feels like being there, and why nobody can even come close to creating a similar feeling of that today. (They do question if they themselves are “grumpy cynics," but that's only to conclude that that's the only appropriate response to have given the drek they're served up today). Listen to the full episode to hear them then talk about their experience of "Eraserhead" - intended very much NOT as an “ending explained” breakdown of it; the objective - throughout all our episodes on Lynch's films - will be to preserve the mystery of his works, not undermine it!Regardless, major spoilers for “Eraserhead”!TIME CODES Introductions to David Lynch: [00:00 - 31:51]The "Dune" Caveat: [31:51 - 34:05]Impossibility of "Intuitive" Filmmaking Today: [34:05 - 56:06]"Eraserhead" (1977): [56:06 - 01:46:18]Outro: [01:46:18 - 01:50:47]TEXT REFERENCED REPEATEDLY"Room to Dream" (David Lynch & Kristine McKenna).AUDIO/VIDEO EXCERPTS REFERENCED EXTENSIVELY1.

Pastor Ed Rea Romans 3:1-20 | By Deeds of the Law No Flesh Will Be Justified In Romans 3, Paul makes a powerful case: all have sinned, and no one is made righteous by keeping the law. Whether Jew or Gentile, religious or not, we all stand guilty—but God remains faithful. This message dives into the heart of Paul's argument and explores God's justice, the failure of human effort, and the incredible gift of righteousness through Jesus. You'll see how even our brokenness becomes a backdrop for God's grace, and why it's not about our goodness, but about trusting the One who paid it all. Outline 1) Advantage of Having the Law: verses 1-2 2) Objections of the Law: verses 3-18 3) The Impossibility of Law Based Salvation: verses 19-20 Packinghouse's Sunday morning worship service from March 23, 2025.

Hey my name is Sheevaun Moran driving for your success I wanted to invite you into a conversation about impossibility. Most people talk about possibility and that's what I'm going to get to in a second, but impossibility is where most people think believe and actually strive from. When I first started helping people get their breakthrough help their business grow help their Health Challenge and really transform themselves I always said you don't have to believe in me you don't have to believe in the process you have to believe in the possibility that something can be different or better for you. If you can't believe in the possibility then I can't help you. So my invitation to you today is what are you holding as an impossibility that you need to look at that is possible because if you don't have a sliver of the door open to possibility and that's what I usually tell people and so I've helped over 15 000 people. So it kind of works. If you can allow yourself to have a sliver of the door open to the light of possibility what can occur is that the things you thought impossible before can become true and real and even more likely realized as Manifest in your life. So the important thing to think about is where do you hold impossibility where do you play a lesser game and whether are you willing to open the door to possibility. Just a sliver of light will change the whole game.

For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: "For yet a little while, And He who is coming will come and will not tarry..." Hebrews 10:36,37 Preceding message: All You Need Is Faith | https://youtu.be/M6xn42m5Zfk DominionSonship.com

Living as a truly praying people is the call of God for every Christian and every local church. Cozy Christianity has never been a healthy option for Jesus-followers. We live out our loyalties to Christ in a world that has rejected Him, His teachings and His ways. This means that we stay in constant battle mode as the enemy seeks to smother out the people of God. As that fierce resistance becomes the overwhelmingly undeniable reality against Christians, will we be ready for what comes? We certainly will if we are living as those who have embraced lifestyles of crying out to God. This riveting account from Acts 12 reveals what it looks like for Christians to overcome cultural and spiritual foes. God has plans to release supernatural breakthrough to all who will press in to Him for wisdom, trust and power. He is unlimited in how He can answer our breakthrough prayers.

If we're not careful, we can let the sweetness and beauty of Christmas distract us from the power and sheer impossibility of Christmas. God has come to earth as a child…! “Immanuel” is – all at the same time – comforting (“God is near me, how nice!”), unsettling (“God sees everything I'm doing?!?”), and completely implausible.

In this powerful exploration of Mark 5:21-43, we're reminded that with Jesus, nothing is ever truly over. The story of Jairus' daughter teaches us about the transformative power of faith in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. We see how Jesus values faith over fear, urging us to 'not be afraid, only believe.' This message challenges us to examine our own responses to life's difficulties. Are we quick to give up hope, or do we cling to faith even when circumstances look dire? The passage also highlights Jesus' intentional creation of an atmosphere of faith, showing us the importance of surrounding ourselves with believers who can strengthen our own faith. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to cultivate environments in our own lives that nurture belief and expectancy for God's miraculous intervention.   Find a C3 Church Near You: https://www.c3churchglobal.com   If you want to give to help C3 Church Global plant new churches around the world, head to https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving   Follow Me On Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1  https://instagram.com/philpringle https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl https://twitter.com/philpringle    Purchase a copy of my books today: https://philpringle.com/store

Then they dig in to episode 3 of The Penguin and episode 5 of Agatha All Along.Can The Franchise rise above the inside jokes of Hollywood to become a hit? What do a series of high profile renewals and cancellations say about the state of the television industry? Can The Penguin continue strong world building while ignoring the existence of Batman? Does Agatha All Along deliver on its big twist?

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Applications of Chaos: Saying No (with Hastings Greer), published by Elizabeth on September 21, 2024 on LessWrong. Previously Alex Altair and I published a post on the applications of chaos theory, which found a few successes but mostly overhyped dead ends. Luckily the comments came through, providing me with an entirely different type of application: knowing you can't, and explaining to your boss that you can't. Knowing you can't Calling a system chaotic rules out many solutions and tools, which can save you time and money in dead ends not traveled. I knew this, but also knew that you could never be 100% certain a physical system was chaotic, as opposed to misunderstood. However, you can know the equations behind proposed solutions, and trust that reality is unlikely to be simpler[1] than the idealized math. This means that if the equations necessary for your proposed solution could be used to solve the 3-body problem, you don't have a solution. [[1] I'm hedging a little because sometimes reality's complications make the math harder but the ultimate solution easier. E.g. friction makes movement harder to predict but gives you terminal velocity.] I had a great conversation with trebuchet and math enthusiast Hastings Greer about how this dynamic plays out with trebuchets. Transcript Note that this was recorded in Skype with standard headphones, so the recording leaves something to be desired. I think it's worth it for the trebuchet software visuals starting at 07:00 My favorite parts: If a trebuchet requires you to solve the double pendulum problem (a classic example of a chaotic system) in order to aim, it is not a competition-winning trebuchet. Trebuchet design was solved 15-20 years ago; it's all implementation details now. This did not require modern levels of tech, just modern nerds with free time. The winning design was used by the Syrians during Arab Spring, which everyone involved feels ambivalent about. The national pumpkin throwing competition has been snuffed out by insurance issues, but local competitions remain. Learning about trebuchet modeling software. Explaining you can't One reason to doubt chaos theory's usefulness is that we don't need fancy theories to tell us something is impossible. Impossibility tends to make itself obvious. But some people refuse to accept an impossibility, and some of those people are managers. Might those people accept "it's impossible because of chaos theory" where they wouldn't accept "it's impossible because look at it"? As a test of this hypothesis, I made a Twitter poll asking engineers-as-in-builds-things if they had tried to explain a project's impossibility to chaos, and if it had worked. The final results were: 36 respondents who were engineers of the relevant type This is probably an overestimate. One respondee replied later that he selected this option incorrectly, and I suspect that was a common mistake. I haven't attempted to correct for it as the exact percentage is not a crux for me. 6 engineers who'd used chaos theory to explain to their boss why something was impossible. 5 engineers who'd tried this explanation and succeeded. 1 engineer who tried this explanation and failed. 5/36 is by no means common, but it's not zero either, and it seems like it usually works. My guess is that usage is concentrated in a few subfields, making chaos even more useful than it looks. My sample size isn't high enough to trust the specific percentages, but as an existence proof I'm quite satisfied. Conclusion Chaos provides value both by telling certain engineers where not to look for solutions to their problems, and by getting their bosses off their back about it. That's a significant value add, but short of what I was hoping for when I started looking into Chaos. Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library ...

#281: In today's rapidly evolving tech industry, many startups believe they can challenge the well-established giants by offering similar products with minor tweaks. However, this approach is fundamentally flawed. Companies like Amazon and Microsoft will absorb a few of these new competitors, while many others will simply disappear. The driving force behind this harsh reality isn't just competition; it's the absence of truly innovative products. The tech landscape is unforgiving to those who don't innovate. While it might seem tempting to follow the footsteps of successful giants like Adobe, Amazon, and Microsoft, the key to success lies in innovation and offering something new. Companies that fail to grasp this reality will find themselves disappearing into obscurity. In this episode, Bret Fisher and Nirmal Mehta join Darin and Viktor to discuss how artificial intelligence is affecting the tech industry.   Bret's contact information: X (Formerly Twitter): https://x.com/bretfisher LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bretefisher   Nirmal's contact information: X (Formerly Twitter): https://x.com/normalfaults LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nirmalkmehta/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

Have you ever seen a magician on television, of even in person, who is so skilled with slight-of-hand movements until your mouth drops open, and you say, "How can that be?" "That seems impossible!" Well, today's sermon is not about magicians, but the title is "An Impossibility Made Possible." We will be looking at three different scripture passages, and we'll uncover them as we go along.

During this episode, he joins us to share deep insights into the complex and counter-intuitive nature of the index fund revolution. To kick off our conversation, we discuss some of the challenges associated with getting a true understanding of the scope of passive ownership across the US. Distinguishing between different approaches to investment, we begin to unpack Marco's paper with Alex Chinco, titled ‘The Passive-Ownership Share Is Double What You Think It Is'. We touch on the relevance of Grossman Stiglitz in 2024, pricing and reconstitution, and the ins and outs of employee stock and compensation. Using the case studies of huge global firms, we consider how to best accommodate passive demand. Lastly, as an index investor who does not own index funds, Marco shares his opinion on whether index funds have had a net positive or negative impact on financial markets. Tune in today to get a more dynamic view of the complex world of index funding and investment. Key Points From This Episode: (0:00:45) Index funds, index and passive investments, and why Professor Marco Sammon is perfectly positioned to unpack these concepts.  (0:03:36) The challenges of understanding just how big passive ownership is in the US market.  (0:08:16) Distinguishing between partial investment, direct investment and passive funds.  (0:10:14) Important concepts on the closing auction and which indexes Marco focuses on.  (0:15:50) Defining the Grossman-Stiglitz framework and its validity in 2024.  (0:20:36) Evolving ideas around pricing and reconstitution over time.  (0:23:05) Why indexing is a fixed-point problem and how to measure market efficiency.  (0:32:19) Nuances of security demands around indexing and how it differs from other investors.   (0:38:02) Employee compensation and reverse causality as illustrated by Marco's friend.  (0:42:10) Why it is important to distinguish between equal-weighted and value-weighted.  (0:44:13) How huge firms like Facebook and Tesla accommodate passive demand.  (0:48:19) Conditions that affect the responsiveness of firms in accommodating passive demand.   (0:51:13) The ‘Dead Reckoning' metaphor to describe how we can know who is clearing the market.

What is the best apologetics argument for Christianity? In this episode, we explore the powerful case for the Christian worldview through the lens of "The Impossibility of the Contrary." Discover why Christianity provides the necessary foundation for logic, science, and morality, and how these key elements of our understanding of reality presuppose the truth of the Christian faith. Key Points Discussed: How Christianity offers the only coherent foundation for making sense of the world. Why the laws of logic require a biblical foundation to be meaningful and consistent. How scientific principles presuppose a universe created and sustained by God. How objective moral values point to the existence of a holy and righteous God. Why This Matters: Strengthen Your Faith. Enhance Your Apologetics. Engage with Non-Christians. Be prepared to articulate why Christianity is not just one option among many but the essential foundation for understanding reality. This episode will equip you with a vital tool for defending and proclaiming the truth of Christianity. By understanding and employing this argument, you can engage more effectively with both believers and skeptics, showing how the Christian worldview uniquely answers life's most profound questions.

David S. Richeson's book Tales of Impossibility: The 2000-Year Quest to Solve the Mathematical Problems of Antiquity (Princeton University Press, 2019) is the fascinating story of the 2000 year quest to solve four of the most perplexing problems of antiquity: squaring the circle, duplicating the cube, trisecting the angle, and constructing regular polygons. The eventual conclusion was that all four of these problems could not be solved under the conditions laid out millennia ago. But it's also an engaging tale of some of the greatest mathematicians, and some not-so-well known ones, who met the challenge and moved mathematics forward in ways that the Greek geometers could never have envisioned. Even if you never read a single proof through to its conclusion, you'll enjoy the many entertaining side trips into a geometry far beyond what you learned in high school.
