Essential Math for AI: Next-Level Mathematics for Efficient and Successful AI Systems by Hala Nelson provides a broad and comprehensive overview. The author provides a "big picture" view (important for AI/ML study since it is easy to get lost in specific details) and relates concepts to each other at a high level thus enhancing knowledge comprehension and assimilation.
Lightning protection systems are very sensitive to resistance in the chain, as any localized bit of it will cause a huge amount of heat there, and non-localized will cause current to branch out to other paths, also causing damage/heat. A typical lightning strike can be from 10,000-30,000 amps at millions of volts.
The damage from lightning doesn’t happen due to the current (as a first approximation), but rather resistance to the current causing heating/damage where the current ends up going - very rapidly, in a way the heat doesn’t have time to dissipate.
Having a working low resistance path to ground means heating (and hence damage!) is reduced or even eliminated.
Unless carefully specified and properly maintained, the odds that a random cable or chain (especially when exposed to seawater) will maintain a low impedance path to ground is not good.

> People don’t want to run their own servers, and never will
This kind of gets at the reason why I think a lot of tech articles/blogs about what the future will be like are just terrible. The wants of someone who is driven enough read and write about the bleeding edge of technology are very, very different from the general population. Like this author says, most people don't want to run their own web server, but I'd go even farther and say, most people don't really care about decentralization or even data privacy. Getting most people to care about privacy and decentralization is like getting a kid to eat vegetables. They know they should, but the alternative has more short term benefits. I think most people care about ease of use over almost everything else.
People who write these articles need to be thinking about the middle aged woman who still calls every video game system "a Nintendo". There will always be some users for technologies like web3, but until you can clearly demonstrate to that woman that this new technology has value and is easier to use than the status quo, you're never going to get mass adoption.
Connecting this back to web3, we're clearly not there yet. Almost anything being done on web3 is slower, more expensive, and more complicated than its web2 alternative. We may or may not get there one day, but until we do, I don't see web3 being anything more than a niche product.
