Sorry, yes, my meaning was that it seems as though the number OP used to arrive at the conclusion is incorrect, either because OP made an error, or because of some reason that leads folks to under-report (as you suggest above), or because t

I am not sure that I understand this. As far as my understanding goes, all massive objects warp spacetime. What's the theoretical difference between a modern rocket engine and one of these warp drives, or is it just one of degree?

I believe the first, they're saying that it's about as likely to report being sexually assaulted on a plane as to die in a plane crash, which seems extraordinarily unlikely to be true, and if it IS true, it implies that planes are

I'm not sure that society has reached a point where sensitivity and sensibility meet on trans rights topics. I think it's unlikely that an Indian airline will be the first to solve this problem.

Of course you don’t have to, but I don’t think this was intended as an instruction, rather as helpful advice. I would second it, my son still uses a few signs (especially “sorry”) even now he’s two.

Well, it's not exactly eternal, it's that time is not passing for that photon. It's also (as far as I can tell) only correct to say that distances shrink as speed increases when you're talking about massive objects. A ph

Yes but not evenly distributed, BeNeLux, Germany, Austria, and Nordic countries have a lot of iPhone users, while moving further east (or south) you see lower market share. Maybe it’s “two handfuls” of wealthy western countries rather than

It was adapted from an interview which took place with Der Spiegel, so I guess it was originally in German, although I haven't found the original. My guess would be there are less complicated translations, but I might be wrong. Regardl

The problem with ChatGPT is that you might not know to check the original. If the original text is “I’m getting married on the 10th July”, you’ll know to check the handwritten note if it says “I’m getting married on the l@ July” but not nec

Hm. It depends how much you care about accuracy. ChatGPT does a great job overall, but I have found frequent errors and hallucinations around numbers, names, and dates in particular. If you do go for GPT-4, just be careful of this. Where ot

While the sentiment is lovely, the conclusions ignore business reality. I did some back-of-an-envelope calculations. A CS rep who “truly cares” is gonna set you back around 50K[0] in salary, call it 75K total cost to employ. I don’t know wh
