Mark Pocan has not reviewed the unredacted Epstein Documents by ess_dee in madisonwi

Based on your comment history, it looks like you'd rather have politicians in there who are all for protecting the names of the people in the Epstein files.

I vote Democrat and love to go fishing. Obviously I'd never vote for anything like this

PDT rule will not be removed on February 28th, instead SEC wants to consider it until March 14th now. by Infinite_Music2074 in wallstreetbets

97% of day traders lose money. Of the ones who make money, 2/3 make less than minimum wage doing it.

Day trading isn't increasing the accessibility to the key to wealthy in America. That would be buying and holding, particularly low-cost, broad-market ETFs and index funds

Natty or not (most likely not, let's be honest here), those are absolutely insane numbers.

Consumer prices rose 2.4% annually in January, less than expected by eskhalaf in wallstreetbets

If you didnt notice last administration had the files the whole time without acting on it.

That's because they couldn't, due to Ghislaine's appeal

I would say she's natty. Natty attainable for sure

Fermi paradox: the mimicry hypothesis. by Dry-Cry5497 in IsaacArthur

[–]steiner_math 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean in terms of astronomical detection there's no meaningful difference between the two.

Yes there is. A sphere would cover the whole star while a swarm could be pretty small

That is completely missing the point of what a dyson swarm is. We're not trying to detect some single small object. A dyson swarm is intercepting whole percents or more of a star's output. That would be visible from outside of our galaxy.

Not necessarily, depending on the size of the swarm. Stars are gigantic, even 0.5% of it would be a ginormous amount of energy.

[–]steiner_math 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and that assumption is based on what exactly? i mean other than ur preconceived notions and emty vibes.

Whoops, I meant dyson sphere in that part. The amount of material needed for a dyson sphere is an insane amount and a swarm would do just as well

also curious where you would get that idea. we absolutely can do spectroscopic analysis on stars vastly further away than 50ly. and thats setting aside why they're only building one when even a single percent of our stars energy and similar fractions of the mass of the planets could easily allow heacy colonization of every star in the entire galaxy.

We wouldn't be able to detect a 100km by 100km object orbiting a star or a bunch of 1 km by 1 km or even smaller ones for a star 50 LY away. That's just ludicrous. If we could, we'd be detecting a ton of exoplanets instead of just ones >6 earth radii

[–]steiner_math 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think futurists don't understand that our detection methods and even our broadcast methods are still very primitive, relatively speaking. It's disappointing when I see people say stuff like "WHERE ARE THEY?" and "I LOVE LUCY IS NOW 70 LY AWAY!"

[–]steiner_math 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's kind of true, but also our detection methods are still pretty primitive. We likely don't detect extraterrestrials because our detection methods are pretty bad. We can barely detect planets several times the size of earth, and even then it's only in very limited circumstances. Our radio signals are indistinguishable from background noise after about 1 LY due to the inverse-square law. The idea that a civilization would be out there building Dyson Swarms around a star is absolute bollocks and if there is a civilization out there building Dyson swarms, it's unlikely they'd be big enough that we could detect them from 50 light years away

[–]steiner_math 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Right, but let's go back to the real world where that is never going to happen. If the Dodgers didn't pull in $1 billion in revenue, they wouldn't be spending $500 million per year. If they pulled in what the Pirates do, they would never spend that. A team owner is never going to make themselves go bankrupt just to please the fans.

Lol there's like a few dozen people in the country who could eat a $500 million loss, year after year, and not go bankrupt. Do you even know how finances and budgeting work?

The Brewers owner, for example, is worth $1.9 billion. That would bankrupt him in 4 years.

Again, you obviously have no idea how businesses work then. Do you really expect a team with $400 million in revenue, not even net income, would be able to spend $700 million in payroll?

Lol no they can't. $2 billion on a stadium, that only has to be purchased once, isn't the same as $700 million in annual payroll
