life and information are good examples, yes. i sometimes wonder if our understanding of physics is somewhat limited to what we can see/observe/measure (include instruments here) and wonder if the laws of physics as we perceive the

here is another way of looking at it: the speed of light actually shows us the maximum speed of causality (how fast can a change in point A in space propagate). Some might speculate that the same speed of causality is observed in everything

does entropy always increase? are there systems or forms of matter that literally cheat entropy?

Fidelity is the one I also use and recommended. The other one is maybe Schwab but the rest of them are 50 shades of Robinhood. If anyone else knows other serious, professional brokers do correct me.

it's classic NIH. Our problem is special (spoiler alert: it's not) and we will invent a great solution that solves our special problem.

Popper was a cool guy and his ideas on falsifiability definitely moved the needle and gave us a robust scientific method. But… what do you do when you no longer can directly measure or even worse: the measurements impact the state of the sy

is it though? (an event horizon) the play is really simple: restore the orange clown account. get more subsidies in case the orange clown gets re-elected. that’s it. can make a big show out if it and we can build more shrines to Musk (yuck)

seriously? you’d pick a clown over someone who literally revolutionized physics? GPS, lasers, photovoltaic cells, spacetime to name the biggest things.

I’m bullish on Netflix in the long term. This is an overreaction from the market. As far as tech goes, I think Netflix has the best and I can see a future where it will provide streaming tech to all other major players. So, putting my money
