*You can only teleport out to where you teleported in from.

Does this mean you get dropped into outer space if you stay inside for more than checks notes ~4 minutes?

Probably he's on a diet and his wife won't let him eat more than 1 order of meatballs.

Is it feasible? Sure. The limit on this kind of calculation is basically how much detail do we need to add to the environment (i.e., can we make the model) and how high resolution does the sound wave need to be (can we calculate it given finite compute resources).

To get something that roughly sounds like a rock? Not difficult to model or calculate, if we make some reasonable assumptions.

The sound of a wet towel thrown in the water during a hailstorm? Uhhh that's a tough one.

Simulating sound uses classical mechanics governed by the wave equation, which is well-understood. In terms of CPU power, the calculation to propagate a simple sound wave (wavelet) could probably have been done on a TI-89 calculator from high school.

Yeah and the senators who ratified women's right to vote were all elected by men but they still did the ethical thing.

At least Sanders seems to want to reduce billionaires' disproportionate influence on politics.

Maybe you're ok if Elon Musk's opinion on how much you should get taxed counts a billion times more than yours, but you really shouldn't be.

The idea is checking out with more than a basket of goods is really inconvenient. And I agree, it's much slower and there's no space for it.

How about an app that makes calls, but you have to dial like you would with an old rotary phone.

If you make a mistake with the rotations it just connects you to a random one of your contacts.

How does grouping multiple communities on different instances work? Do we need a special-purpose kind of community, like e.g. the meta-reddit functionality? Seems complicated but very needed atm

Why do you think the organic label for food means nothing?

This article claims they pay a higher effective tax rate, not more in taxes. A citizen working the same position would pay even more in taxes since they would also have to pay income tax.

Maybe the headline should be that sales + other flat taxes are becoming an increasing burden for low income workers. This is the problem for the illegal immigrants in the study, and even more of a problem for citizens who earn the same amount.

If you're not afraid of the legal system why not slap a Disney logo on there too?

thank you EU!
