I'm not a physicist, so keeping around a good deal of reading material (not to mention seeking out a good explanation) to understand the odd reference or two seems horribly cumbersome. Google is way lower friction, but even that requir

When you impersonate someone, you don't have to fool everyone, you only have to fool your mark. No one else is likely to know or care what you're doing.

Your example is so decoupled from reality that it's misleading. Most catastrophic problems in large systems aren't "I made a thing and it's buggy," or "I made a thing that steals SSNs." Most of them are so

I mean, this is about the employees feeling equal. That's the purpose. Would they feel more equal or less equal if the guy with 2 kids and a stay at home wife got a smaller paycheck than the 25 y/o with no dependents? Seems like y
