The problem is that a three-body system is inherently unstable/chaotic. So even if you run a numerical simulation with the same granularity for a two-body and a three-body system, the three-body simulation will degrade much faster than

Have you considered marketing this to universities directly? I'm sure many universities these days have "knowledge transfer/commercialization" offices that would be interested in this.

> It's almost always the financial/monetary side that's the problem. How do you explain hyperinflation, where there is too much money chasing too few resources?

I remember reading stories about the great cuban sneakernet where people got all kinds of tv shows, etc, with quite low latency, all without internet access through USB sticks. I wonder if there is a way to run something similar to a crypt

I guess it's mostly in my head but somehow the thought of a random Uber driver puting my food on their back seat as opposed to some specialized container comes to mind, and I found that very unappetizing.

I have seen cyclists with backpacks around, just like for door dash, deliveroo etc. I thought that is their mode of delivery. Based on your comment it sounds as if my initial assumption actually correct?

Interesting, my comment was based on the assumption that the tidal volume of human breath would be much larger than the tube/mask, but it seems I was wrong, it's just 500ml for an average human breath, opposed to 6 liters of lung

Was Airbnb ever really subsidized the way that Uber was (i.e. the host gets more than you paid?)

I used to think that Uber eats meant that an Uber would be dispatched to pick up my food for me, which lined up with it being more expensive than other available options. This struck me as super wasteful and simultaneously dodgy, so I never

That doesn't make sense to me, why would a larger space allow for more CO2 buildup, if there is a connection to the outside?

On the employers side it could be something like monopsony where the employee can only chose to work at any wage or starve because no other jobs are available. On the employees side it could be something like a politicians relatives getting

I would say over and underpaid both do exist in scenarios where one party has undue/extortive power over the other. They don't exist in a well-functioning labor market.

The arguments in this comment section have been rehashed so many times on HN now it is becoming hilarious. Who would have thought that office vs remote is the emacs vs vim of the 2020s.

It matters because if the dollar amount is real this is probably the largest heist in history.

I sincerely hope it won't be necessary, but in Kim Stanley Robinsons book Ministry for the future, there is a wet bulb heat wave that kills hundreds of thousands that serves to at least somewhat galvanize the world into action. Perhaps

I recently learned about the idea of the "global carbon reward", which is an idea to create a monetary (meaning not fiscal) incentive to reduce or capture carbon emissions. Kind of like a gold backed currency is based on gold mine

Regardless of the merits of this case, I think it is interesting to also consider if the reverse could conceivably happen. Could a Chinese professor become worried about travel visa to the US because one of their students starts posting thi

One thing I have noticed recently in particular with the coronavirus, but also other topics, is that several interview podcasts fall into a sort of trap where they have guests on that have some sort of contrarian viewpoint, and this gives l

Humans can do way better than that, somewhere in the 20 microsecond range. See for example Mills (1958). https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cluster=11401696136259886... Edit: in fact, humans are among the best animals at al
