Pretty sure I got into it with him on an alt before a mod on You Should Know deleted everything. Weird as hell. Genuinely reminded of those crazy people who go between mumbling and screaming while walking down a city street. Seriously needs to be checked for schizophrenia.
The same way that investors in Theranos ignored their medially trained family members. They’re gambling addicts.
I’m not sure what you’re saying. You mean the piston and portal would compress the platform? Even if that’s the case, that still means force is being transferred through the portal.
It’s doesn’t matter really, this is a red herring.
This is not a red herring. A portal can be assumed to be massless and might not interact with anything. In theory, it could have infinite sharpness and cut though the piston when force is applied. But that’s not the hypothetical. The hypothetical has the portal fixed to the piston, interacting with mass. If it can interact with the piston, it can interact with
There is the problem with your logic. The box doesnt move, there is a shortcut in space that moves around it.
The box moves in relation to the portal opening. The reference frame is the portal opening. If, from start to finish, the box takes 1 second to enter the portal, it has to take one second to exit the portal. Everything works backwards from this. If traveling through the portal quickly would cause the box to be launched, then the energy has to come from somewhere and the piston is the only source.
If the box enters the portal at a certain rate, it has to exit the portal at the same rate. Unless there’s relatively involved, that has to be true and everything else follows.
How is the portal affixed to the piston? Whatever made up system that affixes the portal to the piston would also allow it to interact with the box.
The box has to exit at the same rate it enters and the law of conservation of mass and energy dictates that no new energy is created and it has to come from somewhere. If there is no way for the energy to be transferred from the portal to the box, then simply, portals cannot exist.
If the portal is being pushed down by the piston, that means it interacts with piston. A portal isn’t a lasso because lasso’s exist and have known rules to them. The only things we can know about portals is what’s presented in the hypothetical.
Regardless of the how the portal works, if the cube enters the portal at a certain rate, it has to exit the portal at the same rate and everything else has to follow.
The cube doesn’t interact with the piston, but it does interact with the portal and the portal is fixed to the piston. The same way that when I hit a nail with a hammer, I feel the resistance of the nail though the hammer handle. I don’t touch the nail, but the force is transferred through the hammer and in the hypothetical, the force would be transferred through the portal.
The hypothetical does not bring up the possibility that the portal has infinite sharpness at it’s edges and would cut though the piston head or the possibility that relativity is somehow involved and would allow the cube to exit the portal at a different rate that it enters. Wormholes moving at different rates is a theoretical form of time travel, but not at these speeds.
B.
As the cube enters the portal, it will take on energy from the piston, slowing the piston down in the process, and that energy will propel it out. If it enters the portal fast, it has to exit the portal fast.

For people that don’t want to be dragging into a civil rights case, can you set up a dummy interface that looks used, but doesn’t have any too important available? Like you only owned the phone for a week?
It’s 100 miles. They claim 100 miles from the boarder and now “the board” is including international airports.
The plan was always to over saturate the market with coders so the big techs could lower their wages.
That is such Windows user behavior.
Not sure how the buzz word “cancel culture” fits into this. A piece of software is doing undocumented things on people’s computers. Those users should know so they know where or not they want to have the software installed or not.

A lot of those girls were hidden or otherwise, kept off the books from the Chinese government. Not actually that hard in the more rural areas. Not that that excuses the Chinese government’s polices, but the families of those girls weren’t all that depraved. Lot of of adult women suddenly started materializing out of nothing for college.
It’s been years, so citing my source is hard, but I’ll see what I can find.
…have analyzed statistics and found that a combination of late registration and unreported births explains a larger portion of the “missing girls” than previously reported in Chinese sex-ratio-at-birth statistics. Their findings are published this month in the journal China Quarterly.
The researchers believe local government officials informally worked with farmers and acknowledged that they couldn’t fully enforce the one-child policy. Instead they made tacit agreements in allowing families to have extra children in exchange for social stability in their communities. The cadres, or local governments, would then under-report “out of plan” births that ultimately influenced the national population statistics.
There was also abortions happening and infanticide probably trails behind that. Not great, but not as bad as is passed around. People probably aren’t having kids in China for the same reason they’re not having kids everywhere else. Despite what we hear, people in China are either too poor or too busy with work.
Toss the chromebooks and let kids mess with the inner workings of the computer. Teach them to make their own backups and have restore drives available.
