“It’s not priced in by the markets,” BlackRock’s Louise Kooy-Henckel said at an event in Hong Kong on Monday. “But it is potentially also the chronic risks where institutional capital can come in because of the investment horizon.”
Does institutional capital price in the risk of scenarios in which the institutions cease to exist?
The Mercator projection is a legacy of people needing a world map in which local regions preserve accurate directions and proportional distances (i.e., people who need a map for navigation instead of a global dick-measuring contest).
The Mercator map, which has been in common use since the 16th Century, has come in for criticism as it shows Africa as similar in size to Greenland, even though it is 14 times larger.
Critics say this leads to the development needs and potential for countries near the equator to be minimised.
I think that’s got more to do with the systemic legacy of colonialism than with which world maps people look at.
You could use a galactic year (the time the sun takes to orbit the Milky Way) as a base—roughly 225 million earth years. So a nano-galactic-year (nano-galanno?) would be about 82 earth days, which seems reasonable.
That’s how I understand it: the volume element surrounding any given point has to be contracting, but it can expand in some direction(s) if it has at least one other direction to contract in for compensation.
As for qualitative differences, I'm not really picturing what the difference would be—but trying to intuit the effect of extra parametric dimensions might be like trying to explain trichromancy to a color-blind person.
You could fake a publication date in the 20th century, then have AI generate a bunch of circular fake references and seed them on forums and wikis, making it look like there’s an extended history of other works referencing your fake work.
I think you’d immediately collapse into a shrivelled-up ball of super-dense matter.
The Pauli exclusion principle keeps particles like electrons from occupying the same physical space, which is what makes them take up volume and gives atoms and molecules their size. If they were free to move in an extra spatial dimension, they could pack much closer together, and their volume would collapse.
Focus on boosting comments instead of sheer volume of posts—people post specifically because they want answers, and seeing a long stream of posts with no responses makes them think it's not worth bothering.
I think people's familiarity with the r/askhistorians subreddit may be discouraging anyone without graduate-level academic experience from responding, but the subreddit didn't start out requiring that level of rigor—it became more selective as the volume of replies increased. But for here, even a general-knowledge reply can encourage clarifying comments from more-informed people who may otherwise doubt their qualifications.
You don’t need to talk about it like it’s some kind of hypothetical—the end result would just be identical twins (albeit with an age difference). People have no conceptual trouble with the idea that identical twins are distinct people.
It sounds like the key theorist that convinced you of this is Jeffrey Bub.
Has Bub himself implied that his criticism of Frauchiger and Renner’s conclusion contradicts special relativity?

The data centers will be towed beyond the environment.

Maybe it's made of a less-conductive materal (e.g., plastic with metallic paint).
Yeah, that’s my understanding.

Ever read Borges’ Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius?

Do your writing in a public place, then ask Flock to turn over their surveillance videos of you writing it.
I liked Trust—I'll have to check out Distance.

Do the Trojan asteroid clusters in Jupiter’s L4 and L5 points still count as “clearing its orbit”?
What if there were a second planet-sized body there?
What I like is to be pleasantly surprised, which requires leaving a degree of freedom to the chef.
So once you’ve tried everything on the menu, there’s no reason to ever come back.
