Another physicist here. I see that the issue of traveling at the speed of light has already been addressed. So I’ll ignore that bit. Otherwise, yes, the time dilation would make it appear to an observer that the traveler is speaking slowly. It would also make it appear to the traveler that the observer is speaking slowly.
You started by claiming maximizing short term profits was required and now you are claiming maximizing long term profits are required. On top of that you keep claiming profitability has to be maximized even though that isn’t stated anywhere. While you may insist on hallucinating standards that don’t exist it isn’t even possible to determine if any action maximizes profitability.
Yet another justification for enabling psychopaths.
And Google has a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders to maximize profits, basically guaranteeing this type of behavior
This is simply not true. Per the us Supreme Court, “Modern corporate law does not require for profit corporations to pursue profit at the expense of everything else”. On top of that, even if the standard did apply, doesn’t ensuring the long term interests of a company provide more total profit? Maximization is an inherently difficult standard to enshrine in the law.
In the US states have reduced their funding for public colleges shifting the burden to students. On top of that universities have more programs and features than they used to. The university I was at constantly operated at a loss.
I’ve also seen professors who get kickbacks from the sale of textbooks up to and including professors making their own textbook that they authored a required text for the course.
Nobody is getting rich by writing a textbook. The most likely reason for using a book they wrote is that it includes information they thought was important.
I am well aware.
A hash function is still math independent of your interest. Bitcoin is the first currency that has self emerged without being mandated by the state. Feel free to ignore it.
Again your comments don’t actually address the argument at hand.
You are arguing in favor of government control of money and arguing I’m high? Ok buddy. Sure thing.
Bitcoin runs on electricity, not internal combustion engines. Bitcoin’s use of energy is no more or less damaging to the environment than any other electricity user in the same area.
Bitcoin uses a public ledger making it a terrible choice for crimes. While not everyone wants to directly accept bitcoin there are exchanges throughout the world happy to exchange it for local currency. Bitcoin is not backed by violence like state currencies. It takes time for a new form of value to gain widespread acceptance.
Gold was used as a currency for thousands of years but you can’t use it at a local grocery store either.
Bitcoin’s value is backed by math and computers and that is somehow worse than the energy and violence used by governments?
Can you use us dollars in a grocery store in the eu? Does that mean the dollar has no value?
Value is only what people agree to. State mandated currency is no more real than any other currency.
Bitcoin was created to enable payments based upon cryptographic proof rather than trust, and doesn’t need additional applications. Mining has always been a race which is why long ago people figured out how to mine on GPUs - it was faster than mining on CPUs. Then onto ASICS. If people mined less than difficulty would adjust downwards and mining has nothing to do with liquidity.
This is the second time OMB under Vought has tried to gut NASA. Canceling active missions is also the most wasteful. It requires so much money and effort to get a mission into space but once it’s there it costs pennies on the dollar to actually get a scientific return from the mission. The point is to harm science.
As a final bit of general support, here is a lay article while I was still a Professor about my photonic guitar and how that relates to similar electromagnetic structures of the Earth (resonant cavity formed by ionosphere plus the effective aperture behavior of the Earth’s electromagnetic polar cap) https://magazine.utdallas.edu/blurred-lines/ scroll down I’m like the second article.
As additional background here is my latest research publication where I solve an impossible problem in space science, how to create vectors and coordinates needed to understand plasma electrodynamics in complex magnetic fields like the Earth. https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2025JA033911
As additional background, here is my paper on the diffraction of waves through an aperture. The low frequency response of an acoustic guitar results from the interaction of the acoustic body and aperture (sound hole). Understanding an aperture’s electromagnetic response is essential to understanding the EM Helmholtz resonance. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/258555911_The_dipole_impedance_of_an_aperture
Yep.
