This is spectacular. What a great achievement. I have a few questions.

1. Will the battery pack be an additional charge?

2. What will be the defining factor for higher priced models (memory, larger battery, cellular etc)?

3. What effect on the body will this have for long term daily use?

4. Will content creators be able to price their content differently for this device?

5. How will Apple display the demo in store?

6. Is there a feature that allows multiple users?

7. Will this function as a real computer like a Mac or more like an iPad?

8. Is there a feature to prevent social awkwardness?

I had the same question! From what I can gather, the black hole is plowing through gas, when the gas gets too close to the black hole, it gets sucked in and forms a disk around the black hole. As the gas disk spirals in towards the black hole, it gets heated up and shocked, causing it to fragment and form clumps. These clumps eventually collapse under their own gravity, forming stars. How cool is that!

This study is disingenuous. It seems self evident to me that as the amount of wealth increases the amount of luck needed to get there increases. But, its possible to improve your chance of getting lucky. It might not be worth the effort but it is possible.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. The cavalier attitude toward the dangers here is shocking.

Exactly!

Isn’t it a bit reckless to keep this thing online especially since it has access to up to date info? It seems like there’s a non zero chance that it’s capable of bypassing its safeguards. Then what?

Can you explain a bit more? Why would this cause china not to support Russia? Why is counting nuke sites useful? Who’s allowed to request?
