Your premise is extremely unlikely to begin with. Let's assume somehow it comes to pass, still the time scales of these phenomenon are on the order of millions of years. If today a blackhole were to start eating the Sun, it would take a couple of million years to finish that meal. Given a max human lifespan of 120 years. You and your next 10^4 generations have nothing to worry about.

Don't understand why the subscription is cheaper on a mobile phone, if the content and resolution is the same. Also, won't you be able to use something like Samsung Dex to watch this content on a tv anyways?

I have the same rule. Although the actual multiplier I use is 5 based on my experiences. ymmv.

I don't know why an organization called phys.org might need such sensationalization of mundane news. Every article including this one makes it sound like new developments have occurred in physics. When you actually read the article and apply a small helping of skepticism you realize, the world is just the way it was yesterday. phys.org is not HN worthy imho.

Why does it look less aerodynamic than a normal plane? Isn't a rocket or missile like shape the most aerodynamic one? Planes are pretty close to rockets with thin wings for maneuverability. Fling V has so much surface area being pushed against the air, I am honestly surprised at their claim of being 20% more fuel efficient.

.. and even if they are punished the fine is usually so small that they can commit the same crime a few hundred times and still won't run out of money.

Isn't $150 expensive? Or may be I am just too poor, to throw money at anyone who asks for it.

A lot of cash burning startups flush with VC funding have propped up salaries for everyone in the market. They are very willing to dole out crazy amounts of RSUs to compete with the already high FAANG salaries for the same talent.

Do lawyers get something equivalent to RSUs? I know many software folks whose salaries might be <150K but after adding the value of the stocks they receive they go beyond 150K usually.

When you can't offer salaries, offer them dreams.

I know a lot of people having the same problem. They make a tonne of money by contributing to some of the best companies in the world. But they don't have basic things like a house or a sofa or a dining table. Most even lease cars for a few years, instead of buying them. All their belongings are such that they can fit in a few carry on bags in case they have to urgently leave the US.

Even I was surprised by the timeline. A high speed train by 2033, really? China has them now, Japan has them now. India is building a bullet train with roughly the same length as SF to LA in 3 years. The US shouldn't be so slow compared to these other countries.

May be the company you hire for has a mediocre reputation. So that people with average programming skills don't mind applying. People are generally good at self sorting. At some level they must be thinking they can get this job and end up being surprised that all the rounds are not behavioral rounds.

This is reasonable from your vantage point. But why should that talented person work for your fledgling startup? Wouldn't he or she have more options on the table?

I was super impressed by the zoom capabilities of the Huawei P30. However, the camera seems to have a weird grainy effect which is not there on my Samsung phone. That's preventing me from switching over.
