> But of course one can then question why are there exactly N different types of fields, with their specific types of interaction (at least in our universe)?

Even that has a (still unsatisfactory) answer.

Poincaré symmetry imposes constraints on the kinds of fields we can have. Gauge symmetry shows us how they may couple.

There are still some arbitrary selections of the possible permutations that nature has “picked”.

At least in NY State, babies up to 30 days old can be left for care by the state.

> New York State's Abandoned Infant Protection Act allows a parent to abandon a newborn baby up to 30 days of age anonymously and without fear of prosecution, as long as the baby is abandoned in a safe manner.

> A parent is not guilty of a crime if the infant is left with an appropriate person or in a suitable location and the parent promptly notifies an appropriate person of the infant's location. A hospital or a staffed police or fire station are examples of safe and suitable choices.

> A person leaving an infant under this law is not required to give his or her name.

Our ancestors have been “maximizing resources” for hundreds of millions of years, and all our living relatives alive today continue to do so.

Use terminal.app. Since tahoe it supports 24bit colour and has key combos for the most common features.

I wanted to read this but I couldn’t because of all the allusions in the article that distracted me from the points the author was trying to make.

Maybe that’s no coincidence as the German word braun means the same as the English word brown.

These lenders will want some interest. The collateral is only useful if he defaults. If the collateral generates realized gains then those are taxed.

I know. I would still be impressed if Bezos’s w-2 income was below $400k.

Edit: also you need to pay the loan back, and the income to pay it back is taxable. You can die with an outstanding loan, but i’m sure bezos lenders will structure the loan to make sure they get most of their money back.

The child tax credit starts tapering off if your adjusted gross income is more than $200k single ($400k joint). If Bezos is reporting less than that due to other deductions then that’s truly impressive.

Also, amusingly, France is most definitively in Western Europe, so I’m a bit confused about GP’s link between Eastern Europe and “go look up this French word”.

Yes I understand bioavailability etc. My point is that it’s nothing to do with how processed something is.

People who complain about “processed foods” generally have a basic misunderstanding of chemical/biochemical processes and energy gradients or activation energies.

Ultimately, everything is highly processed or we’d be eating rocks. The magnificent manufacturing line in animal or even plant cells is one of the most processed things at the finest molecular level that we know!
