The model that Americans would take any job if the wages were high enough is simple but obviously false. For manual labor there's no amount of money you could pay Americans to be farmworkers. For desk jobs there's no amount that'll overcome Americans' cultural belief that you can't do math unless you were born as a special sort of person who is "good at math".
Please don't troll.
It’s not tautological, it’s the difference between giving someone twice as many heart beats, vs making their heart beat half as fast.
Even if we figure out how to do the latter, it doesn’t help folks who have already had most of their heart beats. It’s not actually life extension.
And what is life like lived at half speed? Let’s say we can get people to 200 by keeping them immobile and cold and nearly starving them of calories and oxygen—dramatically suppressing their metabolism. Who would want that?

I can imagine quite a few people. Maybe they are already in pain or have mobility issues. At that point why not say "yeah just feed me painkillers and keep me half-frozen. i can do everything in VR/online"? It's better than hospice.

I can't find any evidence that anyone has ever died from bisphenol-A poisoning. Searching the medical literature finds no case studies of emergency-room visits or dying epoxy painters.
Rat studies like https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/document?repid=rep1&type=pdf&d... and https://www.researchgate.net/publication/236345183_Pathologi... come up with acutely lethal oral doses around 2000–3000 milligrams per kilogram, by which measure it has about the same toxicity as table salt. It also has about the same pharmacokinetic half-life as table salt. The concerns (documented meticulously in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_of_Bisphenol_A) are largely about its possible effects as a xenoestrogen, and in particular its potential to cause obesity. There have also been concerns that chronic exposure might be carcinogenic, but so far those haven't panned out, so it's clear that if BPA exposure has an effect on cancer risk, either positive or negative, it's very small in magnitude.
I don't think there's anything in the obesity concern, because the obesity pandemic seems to be associated with eating ultra-processed food rather than handling thermal-printer receipts or drinking out of Nalgene bottles. My best guess is that we'll find out that a few food additives that became popular 50 years ago upset the intestinal microbiome in a way that promotes obesity.
In the meantime, though, it doesn't seem unreasonable to try to minimize your exposure to the stuff, even if ultimately it turns out to be harmless or only slightly harmful. But I wouldn't worry about it.
Eating synthetic imitations of food, though, seems overwhelmingly likely to be bad for you.
>I can't find any evidence that anyone has ever died from bisphenol-A poisoning.
That's like talking about cigarettes and claiming people don't die from nicotine, therefore smoking isn't a problem. Missing the point terribly.

You’re thinking of a quantum jump. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/quantum%20leap
They're synonyms, per your link. Also check out Wikipedia

These quantum compasses are pretty cool, but they are not a GPS replacement. They are a more accurate version of an IMU to use for dead reckoning. They will still drift over time.
I'm guessing that once these are put in production, they will be about 1 order of magnitude better, which is still a significant improvement, but not a "quantum leap" so to speak.
Also, an electronic/physical device that "doesn't drift over time" is a device that hasn't been tested for long enough.
A quantum leap is actually a tiny event e.g. an electron energy level transition

Two comments. (From a non-CA legal jurisdiction context.)
You can always ask (but not pressure or require). Make sure you make it clear there's no downside to them refusing.
Another option I've used is to hand cash to co workers and ask them to spend it on their credit card for testing. I've rarely had anyone refuse that. (A few very junior staff members who were maybe right on the credit limit on their cards I suspect.)
There are always downsides:
your personal card can get fraud-flagged, which is a huge pain to fix.
It can also get banned by Stripe/Braintree/etc, which will really mess things up until your bank issues you a new card number.
Never use a personal card for testing, maybe with the exception of being the sole proprietor of the business or if it's a hobby project.

If the employee can get it refunded with an expense report, like any other work expense then in my experience (in California), it’s not illegal. I’ve made plenty of work expenditures with my personal CC that I get reimbursed from the company with an expense report. But *pressuring* employees to do it is plain wrong (and may be illegal).
It is wrong and definitely illegal in California:
>Here in the state of California, labor laws define that an employer cannot require a team member to take on expenses that are an integral part of the job.

California is an example, but I’m unclear about other states. Honestly, I’m unclear across the board because there are a lot of employee made purchases that are conditions of employment (phone, computer), and it could be argued that this purchase is a similar necessity especially if it’ll be refunded.
Any job that asks you to buy your own equipment, especially a computer, is a scam (unless you are a freelancer, in which case you should already have equipment)
