One clear requirement for at least some versions of String Theory is Supersymmetry - the existence of supersymmetric partners to some of the particles in the SM at some energy level. This energy level is not really pinned down, except that it must be higher than anything we've tried so far (since we've been unable to find these particles). The sky is the limit on what is a maximal bound - probably all the way down to the Planck scale, or close to it.

The same is true of the extra dimensions - those are detectable, but again only at energy levels that far exceed what is plausible not just for the near future, but probably for the entire future of life in the universe.
What is wrong with saying that it is increasingly likely that there is life on mars and waiting to call it until we see it.

I don't understand why Google didn't just continue to grandfather the existing free accounts. They already limited them from changing primary domain and number of users that can exist. Additionally a lot of people (like me) will run out of storage and pay for the extra storage. Run ads in my account for all I care. Why is gmail still free at this point?

Instead they decided that stating "Free forever" doesn't mean forever and screw the people who decided to trust you from day 1.

Yeah, I know it's free and I shouldn't complain but moving email is a huge ordeal and giving me just a few months after 10+ years is a dick move. BTW, I have yet to receive an email from Google telling me that my account will no longer be free. I first heard of this on HN yesterday.

"Once".

That GC proposal isn't anywhere close to landing. It's making progress, but it's the "Zeno's paradox" kind of progress where the feature seems further away the more they work on it. I wouldn't be surprised at all if it still wasn't supported in browsers in 10 years.

I don't get why cost of living is factored at all.

The biggest expense is typically housing. And if you bought the house, it means the biggest expense is... building equity into an asset you can sell afterward.

Keep in mind the engineer who purchased a 2 million house in Palo Alto can sell it for two million, and then move to Ohio to a much cheaper house purchased in cash. The reverse isn't true.
Setup a Google Adwords account - once you get the basics its super easy. Very cheap to start out and they used to have a special where you got some free adword money to play with on starting a new account.

Generally I would say try to minimize the amount your spending per keyword - broader search terms or the broader options on those search terms always cost more.

Might help a ton if you renamed your software to something that is more searchable (or just add some kind of name on the end or start)
We took that feedback and wrote step-by-step guides on setting up a few popular Linux distributions, calling out what items work out of the box and what needs manual workarounds. For now, we recommend Fedora 35 as the best distro to use where everything works out of the box, and Ubuntu 21.10 as a second option that works though requires some workarounds.

The mass adoption of Zoom in areas where it really shouldn't have been used and the lack of support to users has been shocking to me. It really felt like this just happened to be the company that took off because of the pandemic but a scrappy startup could have done this 1000x better.

This happens when the air in the bottle warms up and increases pressure which tries to expand the bottle. To prevent this, fill the bottle with hot water, close it, shake it for a moment to let the air mix with the hot water and warm up, then open it just enough to equalize the air pressure, and close it tightly. As the bottle cools, its internal pressure goes down. External air pressure will try to crush the bottle. External pressure is less likely to damage the bottle than internal pressure.

Do you have any data to back this up? Starlink (and other possible future constellations) most effectively serve the low-density or unconnected areas of the world. North America alone has a land area on the order of 25 million square km, with significant topographical and geographical contraints.

I have several relatives who had what the government considered "high speed" internet available - one an old adsl 1.5Mbit connection, the other a drastically overprovisioned cell phone wireless that they were lucky if it provided 0.5Mbit real world connections. The providers offered no consolation, and there was zero prospect of them upgrading services. Both relatives are now happily using their starlink at ~200Mbit.

> other forms of satcomms can be done with and order of magnitude less satellites.

There is effectively a per-satellite maximum bandwidth, as well as distance-based power requirements. The same satellite in low earth orbit can provide much better internet than if it were in GEO. Non-LEO satellites will remain second-class internet (with lower speeds and higher latencies) because of fundamental physical limitations.
Yea, I develop a hobby project targeting desktop Mac (Objective C GUI, C++ business logic) and I’m not sure what Windows technology I should use should I ever decide to port to Windows. There are so many and they are all in various stages of unsupported. C#? C++? .NET? Win32? MFC? WPF? XAML? WinForms? UWP? Maybe just give up on trying to read the future and use Qt. Fucking madness!

Thank you for your comments, it's been a pleasure to read all of them.

> The line between spoken and written language isn't really a question of writing. Transcribed speech is still an oral language.

This is a very good point. Perhaps I shouldn't have written so categorically about this in my original comment. I only had in mind that due to the way some of the examples in the PDF are constructed, the focus seems to be more on the writing conventions than on the languages itself.
I've noticed that I seem to miskey my unlock password immediately after resuming from sleep way more often than when I use that password at other times, or when using an external keyboard (Lenovo T480). I always suspected that something was wonky, but a weird debounce bug would totally explain it, especially as I tend to type that password very quickly.
My value has most often been the ability to deal effectively with unforseen circumstances. Just because I've done this a handful of times, there's no real reason to believe that I will be able to handle the next one. There is reason to believe that I'd be better equipped than another arbitrary person.

Lately though, I've been working much more interactively on project teams. I focus more on the team's direction and output as much as I do my own. Or rather I consider my output to be the consistent and simple framing of problems and solutions that lead to coherent implementations. I don't know that this can be measured though it can be felt by those working with me.

My answer to the question of value, is I don't give a sh* how others value my contributions. In the end (literally of my life) I have to be satisfied with my own assessment of value.

Regulation that requires signoff from multiple individuals is nothing new. The only piece that is unique is the "highly targeted users" callout, but that can be generalized too. For example, there could be heightened requirements for social media accounts based off their reach. A million followers, subscribers, fans, patrons, or whatever term you use and that account now requires heightened security.

But either way, you are getting too bogged down in the specifics of my hypotheticals. Like I said originally I don't have the answer on the perfect solution, but the fact that we didn't use this incident as motivation to have a discussion about potential solutions is disappointing. Can you at least agree with that?

Just remarking its not entirely cheap. You can move there and get a job that pays well, but you aren't alone, other people are going to have well paid jobs too and you will find the same competitive housing market for decent neighborhoods that you see in places like Portland or wherever. Especially when you consider how your full tax structure works it might not be as much of a deal over time as CA with prop 13 as your taxes will be reassessed every few years and if the market climbed, so did your tax bill. There's probably fewer opportunities to leg up your earned income to match in a place with less jobs and smaller network effects like Central Ohio than there is in major job centers with more options for lateral moves.

The question of physics is entirely relevant and infrequently discussed. I think your line of questioning leads to some very interesting problem sets that bitcoin in particular was built to address.

bitcoin is by design inefficient, and it could have been efficient by design. the inefficiency model implies the need for large compute resources, which is a form of industrial, technological, and infrastructural prowess and capacity. See smaller and more power-insecure nations banning crypto-mining. Bitcoin only makes sense from an electricity standpoint when you have excess electricity that you would otherwise have no way of using. Hydropower, solar, and virtually all power plants have some excess capacity that they could theoretically convert directly to mining operations, for as long as they had no consumer power demands. The theory behind bitcoins numbers/algos is that the power plant shouldn't have to make a choice between serving customers and running crypto operations, they make the most possible serving customers, and burning excess supply.

Market conditions have temporarily distorted bitcoin mining distribution, but with fewer coins left to mine and a growing understanding of bitcoins algorithmically enforced economics, you will see it banned from everywhere that it does "waste energy", and lots of miners will realize that "stateless" currency depends entirely on industrial surcapacity which is entirely dictated and governed by the state. So a nation's governance structures and ability to adapt to a developing world turn out to be just as critical as the country's ability to supply massive energy demand. The places that are able to do this are typically worth spending money in so it makes sense as a unit of "value".

bitcoin was an attempt to replace gold mining and gold transfers, but it was also an effort to represent something about the miner who mined it. A bitcoin miner had to have lots of cheap energy and the technological capability to run distributed compute efficiently. bitcoin has been narrowing in on global energy surcapacity, and it turns out there isn't any. This will have all kinds of effects on the price of bitcoin, as lots of inefficient players and players in insufficiently developed economies are forced out of the mining pool.

however in places where bitcoin is mined efficiently, one could theoretically use those same bitcoins to purchase either cheap (or even green) electricity, efficient (cool) compute, or whatever else goes along with running massive mining facilities.

There's a logical line that extends from "we can't fire the tech guys for wearing ripped jeans at work", over a hill and past the horizon into "this guy is nearly impossible to work with but also we can't live without him."

Some people are just naturally that way, other's can't deal with creative frustration and burnout and end up that way. At some point I think it turns to flirting with disaster - they are basically daring the company to fire them (and whether they still feel that way or not, they've set a pattern that they are now blindly following). Not entirely unlike intense thrill-seeking in people with depression.
This is what I think about when people lament MacOS becoming iOS: it isn't going to happen, for exactly the reasons outlined here. Even where things are similar, where the same feature exists, we use these devices in different ways.

It's not just about finger vs mouse. It's about usually-locked vs usually-unlocked, about full-screen vs windows, about large screens vs small ones, about dozens of ways we use these devices differently despite superficial similarity.

I assume the deal with Intel was negotiated by the state government and so Cleveland was never in the running, but it must be said, the City of Cleveland has traditionally had a knack for repelling businesses that are interested in making big moves into the city. Progressive and Eaton both wanted to be headquartered downtown, instead of out in the burbs.

An Intel fab in the City of Cleveland proper is something to contemplate, but I doubt very much that it was ever a possibility. You'd probably want to locate such a thing further out in the county.
> There is no idea at all how to do quantum mechanics without unitarity so if you believe in information loss you are rejecting the possibility of quantum gravity.

I always understood that one of the hopes for quantum gravity is exactly to find a new theory that replaces quantum mechanics, hopefully a fully deterministic (and single-world) theory. So, if some possible property of quantum gravity somehow forced us to abandon unitarity, that actually seems like it might have been an enticing aspect to explore, not some obvious dead end. (Note: I'm using the term "quantum gravity" here to refer to any theory of gravity that matches the observed results of quantum mechanics, which might be a replacement for standard QM, not necessarily a theory consistent with QM).

If you have data on median compensation (outside of regular income) we can discuss it. It would however already be represented in wealth data, so it seems negligible.

Which is why I provided both.

> The dynamic nature of economic mobility over the course of someone's life. (Older people have more human capital and therefore more wealth).

How is this relevant to median income/wealth measured over time? It's not measuring one person's wealth growth, but a time series of snapshots of everyone's (meaning all ages).
