Meta has committed to embracing remote. They are even shutting down some office buildings. Too many employees don't even live near an office.

On the other hand, as the value of an hour of programming increases, the quantity demanded may also increase.

Not necessarily. Demand may be much higher than available supply right now. Tech companies will continue to compete, requiring spending on developers to remain competitive. Software is unlike manufacturing, in that the output is a service, not a widget. Worker productivity in general has not decreased the demand for full work weeks, despite projections in the early 20th century to the contrary. Of course, it is possible that fewer developers would be needed, but I don't think it's likely, yet.

In science, when testing the existence of something, the burden of proof is generally on the one hypothesizing the existence. The existence is generally accepted if experiments fail to reject the hypothesis.

The nerve and brain concept sounds fascinating, but I don't have enough background in sensors to quite grasp what you mean. Could you please provide a specific example?

The entire subgenre of military scifi or military space opera is full of stories that would translate well into a visual medium, with plenty of action. I've read many but haven't seen any adapted yet.

They are written in a childish manner: the white knight, the highly assertive love interest, the sociopath who wishes he could be a good guy, and the cowboy. Their personalities are unrealistic in ways that I would attribute to a young teenager. That said, the quirks of these trope-like characters is sometimes amusing. I enjoy the series mainly for the protomolecule plot, despite the characters.

The quote from John Wheeler is, “Matter tells Spacetime how to curve, and Spacetime tells matter how to move.”

If the student ID is from a public university, is that not state-issued?
