You know, every time there's a mass shooting in the US, a lot is made out of their big collection, but I always think about how you can only shoot one at once anyway, so it's actually a dumb thing to fixate on.
The real evil use would be telling nobody and becoming the world's best smuggler.
And even if OP had said 10, the obvious thing is for it just not to work. Either teleportation fails or the rod is left behind.
It becomes my house. Now all I have to worry about is food, water and a few incidentals. To shower, I could probably exploit the geometry for endless water pressure instead of using a pump, then I'd just need a little heater and a filter of some kind.
The first thing I do, of course, is dick with the gravity dial. See how low I can get it before I lose my lunch, see how high I can turn it and still do everything I need. Maybe I stick something heavy to the side of the dial so it turns itself and so on.
Maybe to raise the rest of what I need, I'll start a moving company.
The weird geometry could also have some engineering uses that are pretty unique. For example, you could make a magnetic bottle for plasma that doesn't leak as it wouldn't need ends, or a laser in a frequency of light that's hard to reflect.
Anti-user features are a major thing. People are dumb enough with technology you can get away with openly screwing over your "customers". The antifeature in this case is "it's not actually the advertised game, it's a cheap pay to win thing".
Presumably, people download this thinking it's cool, and then end up playing it anyway and whaling for the "developers", who may literally be four people, one of which reskins existing games, while everyone else does sales and marketing.
Oh, good. I was asking because otherwise it's the sort of thing that they'd try to shut down the first time it was misused.
I mean, that's a kind of stereotypical view of China's history. There absolutely was just as much dysfunction and disunity over there as in Europe. Feudal societies gonna feudal.
If you read the article, it's has more to do with Chinese people not understanding US politics for obvious reasons, and the Chinese government being somewhat okay with errors that make the US look bad.
I am beyond tired of this thoughtless take. “You can’t murder me, that’s illegal!” “You can’t harass me for being homosexual, that’s illegal!” “You can’t slam me into the ground and arrest me for nothing, that’s illegal!” Just. Fucking. Watch them. It was illegal the first time they did it too.
My #1 issue with the Democrats. I'm not sure how they talk about unprecedented times so much without actually acting on it.
It's a bit oversimplified, actually. Sound bounces off of discontinuities in the medium, which is why foam works. You just have to control the scattering somehow.
The big problem with using oobleck or whatever is it responds to shear, and shear can't travel through air. You could use it for earthquake protection, though, or if you could channel compressive waves from the air into shear form using a fancy bridge like in OP.
Also, shear-thinning fluid is a thing too.
Probably bad. There's no reports I've heard the guy isn't good at his job. It seems to be a political decision, maybe partly motivated by unrealistic ideas Zelensky has about where the conflict is now, which he's publicly contradicted.
Good, although I'd like to register my protest that this guy is relevant once again.
Entrepreneurial ones, I guess. They hear about a magic bottomless phone line and see an arbitrage opportunity.
Also, would you leave a void in the water if you teleported out of it, or a big puddle in your cube going the other way?
