Can you buy a car in Mexico and drive it to US and register properly?

> What would be needed is some sort of compatibility switch that disables all optional CPU features. Sure, you will get some reduced performance of the compiled code, but in exchange, a faster startup time.

I think other AOT-compiled languages don't opt in for the lowest set of CPU features -- they just detect them at runtime and use whenever present, all in compiled machine code.

I remember it felt odd when XSLT code provided "otherwise" instead of "else".

And also unit tests for edge cases and loopholes in laws.

It is hard to do even sitting on a planet (even impossible) -- there are minute differences in gravity and acceleration between any two points, so time flows with different speeds. And it changes all the time.

If something is possible theoretically, it may not be in practice. But if something is proven to be impossible, it's also impossible in practice.

Note we're not talking about "below a millisecond" or below any other time range (second, minute, month). We're talking about _exactly_.

To be fair, my first computer _was_ inside its keyboard.

Entanglement (more correctly, wave-function collapse) cannot be used to transmit information. So there is a "spooky action at a distance", but there is no faster than light communication.

I find it's easier to understand if you assume that every entangled particle already "knows" what state it will be at the moment of entanglement. In theory it's called "hidden variables". John Stewart Bell has proven that there's no local hidden variables, but noone said about global variables. For example, in Superdeterminism it's all easy and clear.

PS: Physicists thet reject Superdeterminism only for philosophical reasons, there's no scientific reasons to reject it.

Theres one more thing that is often assumed, but "wrong" -- that there's some global time.

For example if you hear something like "did you know that aliens from Alpha Centauri see Earth as it was 2 years ago, as it's the time light from Earth takes to reach Alpha Centauri?". No they do not, because it would assume that there's some common "now" between Earth and Alpha C.

If we assume a common "now", it would lead to a whole bunch of paradoxes and errors, like "what was before the Big Bang?" (error in the question), or "where is the center of the Universe?", or "those faint red-shifted stars that we see as they were almost 13 billion years ago".

So it would still be stealing legally, right? And feds could watch the thief as the ledger is always public.

Einstein read Poincare papers for sure, and realized that assembling all those pieces together turns the physics upside down. But many of the results of the special relativity were well known before. For example, the great Michelson–Morley experiment was conducted in 1887, 18 years before. Einstein was the first to realize that all the pieces form a totally new puzzle.

Another weirdness is why does docker even need a daemon? Podman saw that and can work without daemon.

Similar to Helm -- in v3 they also removed a daemon (Tiller).

> not necessarily exactly equal to the time

I believe it was Poincare who has proven that it's even theoretically impossible to synchronize clocks exactly.

They will appeal.

They will appeal, as usual, and never pay that.

Old school HTML coder is close, yes.
