I assume that you're just completely ignorant, and as such, you can't be educated.

> Before 1971 we had a gold-backed monetary system

We didn't.

Germany, 1932-1933. US, 1927-1933. And so on.

I guess that they're using multiple smaller towers? This does reduce the complexity of the tracking and alignment systems.

And the advantage of inflationary currency is growth. With deflation you only get stagnation.

Do you think money is transferred by shoving bank notes into the Ethernet cables?

When you transfer a dollar from your account to Putin's account in a Russian bank, in reality your bank transfers a dollar from their account within the FRS (Federal Reserve System) to Putin's bank's account within the FRS.

It can be more complicated with more intermediaries, but it can be traced and reverted.

They also get dimmer and dimmer. The same amount of emitted (or reflected) radiation gets spread out over longer and longer periods of time.

In reality, the light is also quantized, so it doesn't take that long for the last emitted photons to escape.

That's not how black holes work. It takes an infinite amount of time for the light at the event horizon to escape, true. But you can think of it as if it's an "optical effect".

If you are a free-falling observer, _nothing_ changes for you locally at the event horizon. You will cross it and reach the singularity within a finite (and quite short) time.

As someone studying for a pilot license, your take is literally ridiculous.

You should perhaps look at all the crashes where the autopilot stalled the aircraft on approach due to incorrect settings.

Uhh.... What? The wheel diameters for cars and trains are similar. The amount of slippage also seems to be the same.

You also can get periodic absolute fixes to correct for the accumulated drift.

> The only ways you'll get multiple addresses for a given host are to either hard-code them, or use DNS

mDNS exists. As does SIP and SMB.

I first discovered the ULA/GUA issue when my TimeMachine backup dropped mid-session when I was testing Internet connection failover. Apple later fixed it by allowing multiple SMB sessions in parallel and preferring IPv4 connections. I have a pure IPv6-only network, as I said.

The same issue happens with SIP, as phones send their own addresses during the media connection negotiation.

(I have another funny story about SIP: Asterisk used to send a Cartesian product of available codecs and IP addresses, so if you had IPv6 privacy addresses on, it eventually accumulated enough of them to overflow the MTU, causing connections to silently drop)

> Does your phone's GPS work in a tunnel?

My car's GPS does, using dead reckoning.

Trains can also use dead reckoning.

/me checks notes, I've heard that they move on inflexible things called "rails" that almost never change the location.

Ah, brings back memories. We did a New Year's school theater presentation in the third grade, playing out the "painting the fence" scene from the book.

In English, which is NOT my native language. I had to memorize my lines without understanding half of them :)

ULA are useless for most practical purposes because of the source address selection rules.
