If it’s translating at constant velocity, the satellite is orbiting the point in space where the object actually is. There is no “lag”, gravity points to where the center is now, not where it was 8 minutes ago.

You might be right that the AI is more difficult, but I disagree on the androids being dangerous. There are physical limitations to androids that imo make it very difficult that they could be seriously dangerous, let alone invincible, no ma

I don’t understand the “security theater” criticism. There hasn’t been an airplane hijack or terrorist attack since 9/11. That is not proof that we can relax security checks. Nor is it proof that it’s just about the locked pilot doors.

Sure, but in the context of stocks “analysis” typically refers to “fundamental analysis” which means some sort of deep dive into the business model and financial statements of the company… the rules of the S&P are more like “it the mark

You don't need to be at the limit case of 100% of the market owned by passive funds to start creating problems [1]. Still, my point was that passive EFTs create a constant bid on company shares, disregarding any fundamentals. The specu

There is no analysis done to be included in the S&P500. It's 100% rules based. It's extremely unlikely that a stock like NKLA would ever qualify for the S&P500 but it was included in the Russel 2000 (also rules based), and

I was trying to be brief but you are correct. NKLA was not in the SP500, but it was in the Russel 2000. Also, target retirement date funds will hold total stock market index funds, which will contain NKLA. Look: https://money.cnn

Part of the story is how passive index ETFs work. https://www.etf.com/stock/NKLA sort by # shares owned, you'll see the biggest owners of NKLA stock are ishares funds, vanguard etc. These funds buy based on market

It’s not about blaming the victim. It’s about getting the simple true message out there that wearing a helmet when riding vehicles can save your life.

Agree except on the peer review part. Peer review is a farce perpetrated by the journal industry, both of which are an unnecessary burden and tax on science. What “peer review” pretends to accomplish should happen after publication (comment

Electrical generation is a small part of the problem. Electricity generation takes up less than half of global energy consumption, I think the figure is 30-40%. This means most fossil fuels are burned for purposes other than generating elec

What do you use windows arm for? The Windows-only software I use only works on x86 Windows. Obviously it’s subjective, but my god, windows is so bad.

To be fair, the amount of money in uranium and refining is orders of magnitude less than the amount of money in natural gas (which is one of the arguments pro nuclear), so your counter argument isn’t so strong either

Yes, happens all the time, and it’s not a big deal. There’s product and business strategies to help protect against that. Also, it’s not as easy as it seems, and in cases where it is, it’s good for the overall economy: competition lowers pr

But then if you want to avoid the non-compete you would just get fired on purpose. Classic unintended consequence of regulation. But I do agree that non-competes should be illegal or somehow highly disincentivized.
