https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild_radius The principle is simple. If something crosses it's Schwarzschild radius, it becomes a black hole. So if you had a very, very, obscenely large particle collider, y

Arguably, the information was there. People just chose to be ignorant.

Exactly. Once your object reaches the right radius it's done. It will 'evaporate' eventually. But it won't revert back. An interesting result is that you could, and this is very much beyond our engineering, manufacture b

French model was largely a failure in every way. This is the 5th iteration of their republic now, and it's gripped by internal issues that can quickly approach those US is dealing with.

Pretty much. Furthermore, investment is much smaller, upkeep much lower, transportation easier. And since rats live faster, and shorter, lives, you can get new batch of mine detector rats sooner than you would with dogs. Even under optimal

Problem is that in the past two decades university admins gave in to various deplatforming causes and enforced codes. If they had stood firm before, the arguments against them wouldn't be nearly as strong. Unfortunately, they didn&#x27

Actually, EU countries have pretty high tariffs for some US exports, and other countries too, higher than US used to have until today. That's how the common market remains competitive. We lower barriers for trade inside EU, while prote

Those in government right now certainly don't, or they don't care.

I agree. Unfortunately, almost entire developed world has this aspect of authoritarian government. Including most of Europe.

You know how in the first half of 20th century there was this big scare about overpopulation? There were books, films, studies, and lot of that leaked into the medical profession, often with a eugenics involved. Lot of experts, and highly e

It's probably not. At this point I would place my hope in second order effects. But I'm not the sort of person to do that.

Musk is a great example of how to ruin ones legacy. At this point, no matter what he does, how his companies perform, or even if this implant gives people back control of their bodies. Nothing will rid his work of the taint. It's tragi

It wasn't illegal. The official interpretation however, was that it was not built by locals. Any other opinion was considered "fringe". Which was ironic. Since local origin of these buildings was pretty much consensus among h

Ok, so how would you do it? Pick it random maybe, just ignoring all the sources?

Yep, definitely not a slander there. I mean, why would Luther of all people have a problem with one of most important figures of Catholic scholasticism.

You seem to very strict about the kind of political discourse that you would allow. And I'm going to even elaborate on how problematic is your "net positive or society" and who would possibly be in charge of determining that.

He likes feeling important, just look at TikTok. All it took was bit of sycophancy and he turned into Mr. Freemarket again. Really, people need to realize that Trump has never been consistent in any of his political positions, except for on

It all depends on the metric you are optimizing for. In academia, the metric would be grant money, directly influenced by number of published articles and citations. From that perspective, the system works. We are making more articles, in m

I have similar peeve about the "Spanish inquisition" metaphor. I wouldn't really write blog about it though. I'm of the opinion that attempts to police language in cases like this, is at best a waste of time.

We don't really have a problem with quantity, or quality, of food. We have a logistics problem. Which is nice way of saying that starvation can be a policy. Example most people don't know about: Sudan. There is a civil war there,

It seems fairly obvious that the causative factors are socioeconomic decline, along with general drop in education standards. When you are struggling, you don't have time to spend helping your children with homework. And when states de
