But he’s not dead, he’s going to prison. Does he plan to commit suicide behind bars? He’ll probably be on tighter watch than Epstein - that’s what happens when you mess with the ruling class.

my money's on him being "suicided" with the cameras off before a public trial can take place...

In a healthy society we wouldn't have "health insurance companies" which are profit driven and are motivated to cut costs, not provide care.
ConcernedCoder · a year ago
this is the correct answer, as long as health care is for-profit we will always be the product instead of the consumer

ConcernedCoder · a year ago
The DOJ are apparently idiots that do not understand tech, let alone anti-trust or monopolies... for instance: I create a useful device that consumers love and use, I sell ads on the device to anyone who will pay, in fact I auction them to the highest bidder... DOJ: you are a monopoly and must sell the device... wtf?

This is standard hospital. Rest is the healer but they will not let you rest. Tests and loud noises, endlessly. It is quite insane.

almost like it's a business and they don't want to lose any customers...

> they used to file off the chops

What are "chops"?

I always thought chop shops were so called because they chop up stolen cars into small pieces that are hard to trace and sell them individually.

Possibly related are silver coins called "trade dollars" that were minted in the usa and used for trade with china which exibit "chop marks" signifying validity: https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=9cb25f21911ea42e&q=tra...

In another way it's really cool to be able to "see the past" even if all we see is always the past. At this level it is like a super power. If only some aliens had put a mirror somewhere far so we could see ourselves too. Or multiple mirrors at different distances.

With enough mirrors and light bouncing around the size of the universe itself can be a "storage media" of the past with different photons all around carrying "how this location looked X years ago". "All" you have to do to know what happened is find the right photon to see whatever it is you want to see.

In theory, couldn't we focus on a perfect spot near a black hole where the light has been warped 180 degrees around it... i.e. if the black hole is 100 light years away, you'd see ( with perfect zoom, of course ) a picture of the earth 200 years ago...?

I understand that we'd have to account for the movement of objects, of course, but with computers, seems like a small hurdle...
