Capitalism is the woooooorst…

Sure, he wasn’t an engineer, so no, Jobs never personally “invented” anything. But Jobs at least knew what was good and what was shit when he saw it. Under Tim Cook, Apple just keeps putting out shitty unimaginative products, Cook is allowing Apple to stagnate, a dangerous thing to do when they have under 10% market share.

I mean… Cyberpunk needs to be on a physical card. Otherwise how would you slot it into your neck?

Wow, I have so much more context now. And honestly, it’s actually a lot funnier than I thought it was, thanks.

I guess a few agents get to slack off for a while rather than actually work. I know if I were in their position, I’d just be “following up on possible leads” for a while.

Honestly, for an FBI agent, it’s insulting to be asked to do special monitoring for an unelected official’s private business. They have more important things to do.

I wouldn’t know, I wasn’t forced to go ARM when I built that machine.

Officially, it didn’t, but actually it did. Officially it was the OS updates that made everything incompatible (and it did make more than half of my steam library incompatible) but it was those OS updates that were needed to support the new arm hardware.

So look at it however you want I guess, but there are a bunch of 4-15 year old games that run just fine on my windows PC, but no longer launch on my iMac. That’s not impressive backwards compatibility.

Oh yeah, render most of their already small software library incompatible for a 50% performance boost. It’s a sizable boost for sure, but not exactly looking at the big picture…

Die apple. All your innovation and vision died with Steve Jobs, now you’re a shambling corpse infecting everything you touch. Just die, it’s time…

Fuck closed off mobile stores, it’s all a scam.

Why are we ceding control over our personal computers to organizations who would limit our use of them?

If we have platforms capable of running arbitrary code then we should be able to do it.

OK, but being very massive is not the same as what was being discussed.

Are you sure? I mean the word “heavy” was what I was going on, but there is a distinction I suppose.

You can also “lift” a finitely massive black hole with anything else massive.

Yeah, that’s true… But again, I do have to stress that there is no alternative to “finitely massive” you really can’t have an object of infinite mass in our universe.

Edit: So I guess it comes down to this: If “lift” and “move” are synonymous, then anyone can move any object of finite mass. An object of infinite mass can’t exist in this universe. So you could say that the answer to the question is definitively no, God can’t create a rock so big that he couldn’t lift it, at least not given the laws of physics in this universe as he created it. (For this conjecture we’re assuming God exists and created the universe).

If God created this universe he could in theory also create other universes with different laws of physics. So in that case, sure, why not, who knows.

Well I don’t know about any objects more massive than black holes. I think a black hole is really the only viable form a body can take once there’s enough matter in one place, like there’s an upper limit for the size of stars and after that anything larger collapses into a black hole.

An object of infinite mass is a contradiction, a universe can’t exist with a single object of infinite mass, it would consume everything instantly.

Ok, I think we’re on the same page here. But I’m still not sure about one of your previous comments, you suggested that this “heaviest object” can’t move because it would be the logical reference to which any other body is measured.

But I want to think about that a bit. Let’s say this heaviest object (HO) has something orbiting it and we’re looking at it from earth with a telescope. As the smaller body orbits, we would probably see this HO wobble, right? Meaning that even if it’s the most massive thing around, it’s still affected by other objects, it can be moved.

You need to be thinking about n-body physics though, everything affects everything. If the earth moves, that moves the sun a little, if the sun moves, that moves the local cluster a little, etc. Why wouldn’t that affect this heaviest object?

I mean, are you suggesting that this heaviest object is simply the center of the universe and that all coordinates are defined around it? Because while that seems practical, I don’t think it’s how matter and space interact.

I’m pretty sure that’s called facebook. Have you ever added suggested contacts?. “Here are some people you might know”

Is that so? Will the chatbots help me pack a van when I need to move? Will they stand next to me at my wedding? I’m thrilled to hear that bots can finally replace friends! (Something the people have been clamoring for)

When you jump you are pushing the earth away from yourself a little bit, and then some of your gravity pulls the earth back toward you. You have moved the earth, and for a brief moment your jump has in fact altered Earth’s orbit.

I think if God creates a rock so heavy he can’t lift it, it’s probably a black hole. By definition we can’t know what happens inside a black hole, because no information escapes the event horizon. As it’s now consistent with known physics that we can’t know many aspects of this interaction between God and the black hole, I think this paradox is basically solved. We don’t know any more about the interaction, but it’s no longer a paradox, it’s consistent with physics.

I mean we have these in the universe, one example of an unstoppable force is neutrinos. These tiny particles certainly seem to contain a whole lot of energy, moving close to the speed of light. But just try to stop one.
