Nope, it was just a QA town hall at the old Ottawa office. I think everyone was pretty confused by the remark.

I remember one town hall where he was asked "If you had to start over again, what sort of company would you start?" and his answer was "I wouldn't, all the good ideas are already taken."

Ok, but let's take this to the logical conclusion that at some point there will be models which displace a large segment of the workforce. How does capitalism even function then?

My worry is what happens once large segments of the population become unemployable.

I've been thinking about his a bit lately. If time is non-continuous then could you model the time evolution of the universe as some operator recursively applied to the quantum state of the universe? If each application of the operator

Absolutely man!! I've been trying to tell my neighbor this for ages. I keep taking shits on his lawn and he's getting all upset about it saying that it's ruining his lawn. I tell him I value questioning like a skeptic, someth

There is also a massive consideration on the type of ammo being used. Hollow point vs steel core is gonna have very different effects.

Then what? What happens when nobody is employable?

Alternate take: Regulation should be turned up to 11 and AI should be nationalized so that the benefits go to society instead of a handful of billionaires

It's a shame every endeavour needs to fit into a capitalism-shaped hole. There are many things that people agree are beneficial but won't be profitable.

Yep, smartest guy I knew in my physics program dropped out of his masters when he realized he would earn more in a year at a MAGMA than he would over half a decade begging for grants.

I think as of today the most efficient approach is pumped storage hydropower. However that is severely limited by geography

That's a really interesting idea. I think it would be fun to see how well it would work in practice. https://imgur.com/4UZUPec

Isn't the correct answer here that you could never be travelling at the speed of light to begin with?

My dude, I used to work for Environment Canada. Climate change is real and people are causing it. I have quite literally worked with the raw data coming in from multiple sources. It paints a comprehensive picture of excess CO2 and Methane r

I challenge you to find a single peer-reviewed paper that states excess CO2 is not a contributing factor for anthropomorphic climate change.

Are you sure that quote isn't referring to the length dilation that occurs in a gravity well? Space is non-Euclidean so you can have a sphere with a radius larger than the circumference would allow.

I remember the very moment in my first year of phys undergrad when it clicked for me that what I was learning in my ODE, lin-alg, and classical mechanics were all related. It was like this 'holy shit it all makes sense' moment.

Honest question. Are these laws being put forward by groups who only want a plausible excuse to violate people's privacy, or is it misguided people who genuinely care about stoping child exploitation and don't care about the profo

Easily ELB. You would be horrified to realize that a decent chunk of the internets traffic is routed across load balancers that are pretty much just held together with the prod-eng equivalent of chewing gum and baling wire.
