With that in mind, take them from the adults too lol. I know some adults who are chronically online

The last thing I’ll say is, you still need to over come the Doppler effect. But if you can send large enough packets quick enough, you can mitigate some of the issues. The biggest thing is sending something across long distances quickly. That’s the biggest issue. For that, unfortunately, you need faster than light. I hope the information provides a more exciting journey through your story.

In my opinion, the only way to have faster than light communications is a massive breakthrough on the quantum scale. Entanglement is so new and unknown, that I have no idea if that’ll be the answer. It doesn’t seem so to me, though. But quantum mechanics breaks so many laws of classical mechanics, it’s crazy. You’d almost need some wormhole to communicate using classical techniques. I.e radio, photonics, etc. Which I think is where I rest. Photonics for high data transfer pointed at a wormhole. Then someone receives it in the other side. You still have Doppler effect, but much more mitigated. Hope you enjoyed my diatribe. Much love and peace to you, friend.

You are correct, my sincerest apologies. Light at different frequencies can carry more/less data. I will leave my mistake, as failures are the price of progress. I will not make that mistake again and be more careful. Thank you for your kindness.

Edit: Clarification; different frequencies affect data transfer rate

Moreso, they are trying to impress a narcissist to make good on his country’s deal with them.

I was trying to play into it in a more macabre manner. I was hoping to imply that in the event of the collapse of the US, the states would go free for all and protect resources. I have no doubt that South Carolina would try to keep as many weapons as we manufacture. It’s a fun hypothetical to think about. The level of chaos that would ensue. It’s fascinating, really.

South Carolina might not have the ships, but we got the nukes lol

Not only that, but less than 70% vote in a general election. Probably less than 60% will vote in the midterms. Only 30% voted in my municipal elections last year. Americans are apathetic and don’t want to make time to vote. It’s stupidly easy. Early voting opens a month early, I’m literally going to go primary vote in a couple weeks ahead of it. I literally just pick a Saturday, wait most of the day and then vote.

Do I wish it was easier? Yes. Do I still think it’s easy enough for people to do it. Yes. There’s plenty of voting resources, but people don’t use them, because they can’t be bothered to research and out in any effort. Americans are lazy and apathetic and deserve whatever happens.

not unless they’re seeing the puzzle before hand and have the words stacked in a paste. it would take at least a full second just to read and process the whole puzzle. So, it might be possible, but I don’t think it’s within the spirit of the game.

Oh boy, I went down a rabbit hole. This has been bothering me to the point where I called in some favors and found some public info for what the current hypothesis on “near” light speed communications is. Because light speed is impossible…for now haha. But let’s use some assumptions.

First, light speed travel is possible. Second, that we have superior tracking technology. To the point where we can find the exact location of a traveling at light speed object in space.

The best option we have now is using photonics for communications. This bypasses using radio waves by using an array of lasers that are pointed toward a receiver, which is in turn pointed to the transmitter. We can see why space and light speed travel makes this difficult. It’s hard to track objects in space at very high speeds with the precision needed for this level of communication.

The reason photonics is the best option is, it opens up significantly more frequencies to work with. And some frequencies travel farther and faster than others. If we ever master light speed and light speed communications, I would bet money now it’s photonics. Because what’s faster than light?

Let me know if you have any questions, I’d be happy to answer. Please do not ask about FTL, crazy things start happening then. <- in jest, if you wanna ask you can. Engineers I know argue about it to the point of almost fighting. But that’s engineers for you.

The bleeding Ohio flag is sending me

It’s fine to celebrate anyone’s death.

I’m actually excited about this. I feel like it captures the vibes of RE.

So, I would assume that you would be communicating through radio waves. If an object broadcasting a signal moving at the speed light away from you, I would further assume you experience a severe Doppler effect. To the point that I don’t think you would experience anything coherent. You would receive small packets of information at a time, scattered across several million years.

This is just my initial impression on the fly, do not take this as any sort of gospel. I also did some communcations work for a time. So, this is tickling my brain and I might spend the rest of my evening in my books.

I disagree. This is a social media based article, whose only purpose is to be eye-catchingly inflammatory. It’s meant to get people arguing. All it’s doing is documenting people online fussing with each other. They specifically used this post of a women, because people will more easily hate on a woman than a man. That’s just my lived experience, though.

But they cannot sell them all. Eventually the well runs dry and they will have overstock and the wave will come to shore. The cracks in the foundation seem to be there. But I may be, and probably am, wrong. I studied engineering, not geopolitical based economics.

Oh boy! Is it hating women time already?

Ah, fair enough then. I concede.

I believe any intelligent system will be corrupted, or manipulated for greed. It’s why I believe in complete anarchy. A complete lack of state and authority. All beings equal, all provided what they need. And everyone works with their unique skills for a better future.

Adding intelligence doesn’t make it any better. It just makes the system more exclusive for the powerful. It’s a higher barrier to entry. But the entry is still there.

We both believe in utopias. And we both hope for systems in which human beings aren’t the most vile creatures on earth.

It was a pleasure conversing with you and many blessings to you.

I will fully admit my only data is anectodal evidence from friends overseas.

Edit: I’ll also add, I distinctly remember reading abouy China selling zero mileage used EVs. Which lines up with dumping practices.

To be fair, the kind of capitalism you’re talking about is/would be heavily regulated. In a free-market, which most people refer to when referring to capitalism due to messaging from Republicans, dumping is a perfectly fine tool. Is it ethical? No. But who cares? It’s a free-market.
