> A few questions/feature requests/comments: Is there a way to link to a page/mark/bookmark/figure from outside the document?

Yes you can (if I understood your question correctly). Press p and then navigate to the target file and then press p again to create a portal from the source PDF to the target PDF. (you can press tab to automatically jump to the target document if you need to)

> Can we export the marks/bookmarks/document state to a plaintext-compatible file?

Currently not but I could add it as it seems that a lot of people are requesting this feature.

> are marks single-character only? And can you not jump straight to a bookmark, only bringing up and searching the bookmarks context menu?

Yes. You are correct. Marks are meant for quick jumps around documents and Bookmarks are meant to be for more persistent situations (for example you can bookmarks an an exercise in a PDF so you can return to it at a later date when you have more time)

I think portals are perfect for this use case because, as I said, you can create portals across different documents.

Also if the standard you’re looking for only has a high price in their catalog, it’s possible it’s freely available online. Not every standard is published as a regional version, generally only those that would cost more to obtain or are popular enough to require translation.
At the moment there are only infrequent rocket launches, if the numbers go up because of space tourism the damage becomes greater, especially if space tourism reaches the price level parent was talking about.
There are no isotopes with neutron stars because they are not actually nuclei.
Perhaps not but it is very tough to do anything normal like even a laptop/reading unless there is no turbulence which is never guaranteed.
But if anything this an argument in favour of the idea that ideas do have value, as it's equivalent to the situation where the capitalist pays $10,000 to set up the ice cream stand and wanders off while their partner does all the work. The arrangement may be unfair on some level but that's a whole different question.
The Xeelee Sequence also features post-post-posthumans designed to live on a neutron star in one of the books about midway through.

My favorite “people” from the series, second only to the Roman Catholic eusocial human hives of course.

Truly the largest series I’ve ever read in scope, if you can make it past the terribad writing & characterization in the first books (and you will, the ideas are worth it) it quickly gets better.

this actually happens far to often with enough universities to make me uncomfortable. a lot of universities lack funding, even after government aid, which by the way influences what universities teach to a degree as well. i would love to see more transparency regarding funding with regards to scientific studies
Whether you like it or not, sex has an implicit emotional component that cannot be overlooked. Sex work is not the same as normal work but naked. Posting nudes is not the same as posting normal pictures. There is an amount of soul involved when humans deal with sex, whether the involved parties realize it at the time or not. The more this becomes normalized, the more unhealthy the soul of a society becomes. No, I don't have a peer reviewed study confirming this. My source is art, history, and the human experience.
Not sure what's the best proxy benchmark, sorry. Maybe something like SPEC jbb or sfs benchmarks?

I enjoy part of it. I like creating something new... building a shed or trellis, adding a new light fixture. I don't like fixing leaks, patching walls, and so on.

But doing this stuff yourself is so much better financially. You don't turn a profit by paying contractors to improve your house; you profit by investing your own labor to do it at 20% of that cost.

Imagine investing in a stock where you could put in some labor now and then, and have that actually result in substantially higher stock prices.
> I only execute my own ideas now. Even sometimes I can't finish it, I can only blame myself.

Don't blame yourself. It's okay to not finish something.

Sometimes I just want to prove to myself that something is possible. That I'm not insane for thinking it. Once the result is clear, I usually lose interest. It turns into the exact kind of boring execution work the article's talking about. Better to find some new idea to explore...
The bigger problem is the US "environmental review" process. That's its name — it is only minimally environment-oriented. It allows anyone who comments to sue and delay the project by months or years, which means that every big project is a big shakedown, paying off and appeasing groups who would otherwise threaten to sue. This is the primary reason why the nation hasn't really brought big new infrastructure projects to the table since the 1970s. Some places like California and San Francisco add their own layers, which exacerbate local crises in housing.

If I read the back story on this correctly, then no - it's not what I mean. I don't mean to change an outcome, but rather to create a situation where you can be certain of what the oucome will be. Then you can profit.

Granted, I wouldn't do this myself as I do find ethical problems. But its a fascinating thought experiment.

And if you believe in human legacies, then you don't need AI. You just build a system and manage the players so that your offspring or their offspring can take advantage of the game you have setup. Maybe this falls into Rothschild-like territory (which I frankly don't believe humans are meticulous, lucky, and coordinated enough to pull off).

If you are in this type of business, you probably also get regular audits. Checking that you have access to the relevant standards is something that ends up checked from time to time. Pirated copies will do more harm then good when that time arrives.
Yes. There are many apps that work for mobile phones. There are also some devices that block calls using a landline phone. However, they are not flexible. If you want to block phone numbers using a pattern, like *01 to *99, it is difficult to do it using those devices. That is why a Raspberry Pi would be a better fit. However, it seems to be more expensive.

It's mostly solved for well-funded researchers with modern professional-grade telescopes and professional-grade analysis software. That's far from pervasive.

"100% known" is overstating the situation, there's no easy-to-use API for an amateur to query location, date and time, alignment, frames, and pixels to get the location of satellites.

Amateurs with basic software - or researchers who don't have the funding/equipment/software triad - just pointing a DSLR at the sky have to manually stack their images, for these users it's far easier to use a long exposure. The other problem is that sensor thermal and atmospheric noise vs. photon signal ratio is mitigated by long exposures in a way that's not the same as stacking short-exposure images, each with their own changing contribution to noise.

Skilled work is not the antonym of hard work. You can work hard doing skilled work.

Knowledge work does look different from physical work, but you can work hard at both; you need to work hard at either to be successful.

As for why hard physical work is so valued - only a century or two past, it was the only practical method to prevent the starvation for yourself and your family. Knowledge work being a viable means of survival (for non-nobles) is pretty new, all things considered.

Even my own parents never really understood how knowledge work could be as valuable as getting out and working with your hands; and they were born in the early/mid 1900's.
The same reason that LeBron leaving the Lakers would put them at the bottom of the table overnight. While knowledge sharing and thorough documentation is a way to mitigate risk, I don't think it will ever address the loss of an impactful person's vision, knowledge, work ethic, etc...

It also takes considerable time to onboard a replacement, which can drastically affect timelines/budgets/etc...
The reasons why we wont have a high-speed train network any time soon, in priority order (my opinion):

1. Eminent domain and generally-high construction costs make the initial time and money outlays exorbitantly high, resulting in projects never getting off the ground or having to compensate with much-too-expensive tickets

2. Even if you get to the middle of another city, having to rent a car to get to where you need is a pain. It's easier to drive from Dallas to Houston in a car, because you have a car at the end of the trip. Only some cities have fast public transport; the rest are so big it's hard not rent a car or Uber everywhere, both options are expensive and time-consuming.

3. Trains likely take more time than flights for the mid-to-long distance journeys planes are good for.

4. A cultural lack of interest in passenger rail. It's just not a part of the culture, and is seen as weird/enthusiast thing to do, unlike in Europe, India, or China.
> This sounds like a utilitarian argument. Unfortunately, that means the weights of the increased harm vs. decreased harm are what determines the morality. And those are arbitrary.

Well, yeah and with a deontological argument, chosen moral axioms are what determine the morality, which are equally arbitrary. All arguments of “should” have arbitrary values at their root.

The doorway effect is fascinating. I don't tend to experience worry on leaving the house as you describe (I know many do), but I certainly walk into rooms and forget why I'm there.

I would talk about the issues you raise more as issues of attention, focus and division of attention, than whether one is conscious or not.

Though semantically of course I agree that there is overlap between being conscious of something, of your surroundings, of other people, of your actions etc. When someone says just "being conscious" without a particular object, I think of something different. Language is a funny, imprecise and overloaded thing.
In general, the United Nations, by means of the International Telecommunications Union, coordinates orbital assignments between member nations [1]. In the US, the FCC mediates for the American satellites to the ITU, so the FCC, as a member of the ITU, approves satellite orbital assignments [2]. In addition, the FAA plays a role in approving satellite launches as a matter of air traffic and safety, etc. [3]. The FAA doesn't get involved once the satellite is in space though.

As an example, one US company got in legal hot water by trying to skirt around the FCC in getting its satellites to orbit [4].

Re: research. I'm not sure that academic research is the arbiter of business topics like this.

In any case, we are engaging with the idea right now. This article didn't "engage" in the sense that it doesn't mention it, but you can't expect every article to mention it. I also don't think it's very important, as a consideration.

Engage seems euphemistic to me. What do you mean by it.. that people should rank it more highly as a factor? If so, why not make that case?

There actually is empirical foundation for the communication of the effects![0] But the model is strictly simpler if you remove the astrology from it; astrology has no additional explanatory power, and its novel claims (claims not predicted by any other model) are wrong.

> Such children are more likely to be picked for school teams. Once they are picked, players benefit from more practice, coaching and game time — advantages denied to those not selected, who are disproportionately likely to be younger for their selection year. Once accounting for their biological age, the older players might not have been any better than later-born children when they are first picked. But after becoming part of a team, and being exposed to training and matches, they really do become better than later-born children who might be equally talented.

I have a condition called juvenile retinoschisis. It's very similar to macular degeneration. My overall vision varies between 20/80ish and 20/120ish depending on the day.

Stripe has been doing this for at least a few months now… maybe since last year.

It’s a nice feature.

Frankly, PayPal has been doing a version of this for years where they would put a hold on your funds and then (usually) offer you a loan that would cover most/all of the money held. Of course, they called all the shots, but the idea was there.

Almost uniquely, you cannot get the Times to write about your business--what publicists call a "placement".

I think the bigger constraint would be noise. Wikipedia talks about a 70dba noise limit in residential areas after protests and such, but doesn't say what speed exactly they're running at to meet that.

70dba is rather a lot, though, I imagine you'd end up with a lower limit in the US since I don't think most people are going to be easily convinced that another inter-city transit method is going to be worth the noise to them.

You must have had some concerns when other large companies were given board seats of other open source products because they had thrown hundreds of thousands of dollars? No?

You said 'one of those companies'. So I'm sure there are companies worse than Adobe that are already doing it. Then we will later complain that they will use this as a way of controlling the project.

It's easy to explore QM and SR, because it's easy to accelerate fundamental particles to near the speed of light. Here's a video from 1962 where electrons were accelerated, they measure the time between passing two points (to get speed), and heat energy deposited on a target (to get kinetic energy) to show how SR works. Nothing QM specific, but shows how easy it is to get quantum particles moving that fast, so you can do experiments on them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0BOpiMQXQA

Combining gravity, which needs great mass, with QM, which needs small space scales, is "hard" to do in a lab.

It is a basic human need and necessity to collaborate, everybody wants and needs that!! (except those living in a lone grumpy bubble) Those not doing it are not really viable: see Yugoslavia. : )

I'm sure there are some people who match the description you offer, but what evidence do we have that "It consumes them, until they are out of money, then it destroys them" or that they make up "a large proportion of their revenue" to the degree that the business model would fail without them?

And could you not paint an equally disturbing picture about other industries and interests? Like gambling, drinking or people who eat bugs competitively? And should the presence of deeply troubled people scattered about different hobbies cause us to determine that businesses engaging with those hobbies are "evil"?

I seriously do not think so.
