As an example, UW Madison which has a fairly large and profitable athletics program generated 12 million in profit last year. They aren’t the largest athletics program in the country, but it is bigger than many. Sits around the middle.

The patents and IP owned by the university provided $134 million in grants and support. Again, the school has a large STEM component, but it isn’t a top tier university. Again, sits around the middle. The organization providing this funding manages its investments carefully and intends to provide this level of funding year after year.

Research departments generated more revenue and the funding is likely more reliable.

It belongs in a museum!

We’re currently in the information age, which is due to silicon. In a few hundred years, this time may reasonably be called the silicon age. Society has only recently transferred to the silicon age from the previous iron age. If we don’t cause a total collapse of our society, then we will be in the silicon age for a few hundred more years, and that will likely include space colonization.

The space age you’re referring to is likely the 60s, when space exploration was beginning. A decade or two isn’t long enough to be considered an age.

That’s why we name our ages after the materials within. Material science is the foundation for almost all other physical sciences.

Yeah, and stop having sex and listening to rock and role.

That’s a solution that just isn’t going to work. We as a society need to plan for using more and more energy. Therefore, we need to create cleaner and cleaner ways to generate that energy. If solar can be implemented until we scale up fission, that’s great. We can then rely on fission for a few hundred years until we get to fusion.

People will complain about the dangers of fission only while they ignore the dangers of fossil fuels and aren’t required to use them. As soon as fossil fuels start running out, then fission isn’t going to sound so bad. Frankly, it shouldn’t sound bad now.

Thanks, that’s good progress from the last update that I saw. Makes me hopeful that I can make the switch soon.

How much work is typically required? What kinds of tasks are needed?

I’m done with windows as soon as Linux can support HDR.

You’re implying that the double slit experiment is unresolved. What do you mean by that?

Edit: I’d also be interested to read the articles about entropy and time. Could you link one please?

While it’s true that a photon doesn’t see time pass, an electron does and they exhibit the same behavior in the double slit experiment. I don’t see how the particles perception of time explains the results.

It might be quick to get to a windows log in screen, but it still takes a long time to get back to a usable state, not to mention the state that you actually want it in (programs and files open, etc).

Having standby or hibernation was really great for this. Being able to put a laptop into a bag for 24 hours and then getting back to exactly where you left it was a very nice feature.

Doesn’t yelp let businesses erase poor reviews for a fee? Is the only difference here that yelp isn’t getting paid?

The presumption of innocence is really important because it reduces the chance for abusing the prosecutorial process (of course that does still happen). Prosecutors must show beyond a reasonable doubt that a person is guilty. That’s a high bar to clear, but it gets easier when the defendant builds you a staircase.

Every defendant deserves the right to plead guilty, even this criminal.
