My (simplistic) understanding of how Hawking radiation works: virtual particle/antiparticle pairs are created just outside the event horizon. One gets pulled 'through' the event horizon, leaving the other as a real particle, free to escape. So the real particle never actually passed back out through the horizon.
I don't know if the black hole merger constitutes information 'leaking out' of a black hole. We got a signal that may only have depended on the two objects masses and angular momentums. That is information already detectable 'outside' a black hole (if we could get up close with appropriate sensors).
But here's another thought problem about information leaking out: Lets say I could build an extremely sensitive gravitometer/LIGO or whatever that could detect minute shifts in an object's center of gravity. Now, assuming that any discrete objects could exist inside a black hole, one of them shifting back and forth could theoretically change the BH's C.G. And I could detect that. If the object was sentient, it could signal the outside using gravity.
An orchestra on the outside could follow the swing of a conductor's baton inside by watching the signal from this LIGO.
One straightforwardly physical way to explain gravity is as a distortion of electron orbitals
Nope. Simple though experiment:
All EM fields are constrained to curved of space time. A side effect of this is that none of these fields may cross the event horizon of a black hole from the inside. No fields or particles inside can get out. Except gravity. Because how else would a black hole work? If gravity were some manifestation of electromagnetism, then the matter inside the black hole (from a collapsed start, for example) would not be able to influence matter on the outside. And this is clearly not the case, as evidence for the existence of black holes is their gravitational effect on external objects.
... Trump's nationalization plan is way over the top, he (Trump) does have a point in that our telecom infrastructure is a critical utility. And to the extent that it probably should remain in private hands, it needs oversight and regulation. And if the private owners can't see fit to run it as anything more than their own marketing channel to consumers, then the government needs to step in. And this includes building systems in poorly covered areas where private capital doesn't see the ROI to justify the service.
Not just the military. What happens when a whole bunch of vehicles start showing up at some remote skunk works site? You don't think that foreign intelligence services have advertising company fronts? They can buy phone and vehicle location data and mine it for the travel patterns of known technical experts.
too important to cooperate with my window manager.
I suspect that this is what it's all about. Some app developer wants total control of your desktop and doesn't want you to drag their beautiful creation off into some corner.
I certainly wasn't implying anything remotely close to what the British did in the 70's
Yes, you are. UBI sounds great until you sit down and do the math. The Brits never came close to a UBI type benefit system with their high marginal income tax rates. Where do you think that kind of money is going to come from?
This would tend to correct the enormous and dangerous wealth disparity that is developing.
I don't care how much money Gates or Bezos make. They might be distorting the market for mega-yachts. But they can't eat more then one Filet Mignon a day. So the middle class will get by.
historically associated with undesirable social outcomes, to put it mildly.
Ah yes. The Threat. See the definition of gibs me dat.
You want to be an employee? Fine. You are assigned to the 2 to 6 AM shift. In the shithole part of town where you are likely going to be shot by your next fare.
Before Obama-care, I had a health insurance policy that was good state-wide. Ideally, ACA should have made that portable across the entire USA. Instead, the insurance industry was granted enough loopholes that they started breaking their policies up by county.
Ask the British how well financing social welfare programs with a stiff income tax on high earners worked. And cap gains will just go (or stay) overseas.
Everyone says "I'd be willing to pay more taxes." There was a good book on the evils of corporate and individual tax avoidance that was mentioned on Slashdot a few years ago. I forget the name, but it was written by a British author, now living in Switzerland.
And it was taking advantage of the fact that, generally, big shots in the government and industry don't like to go through the normal channels us plebes would have to. John Brennan or Mark Giuliano's iPad can't connect? They call the help desk and expect a fix Right Now! Ask them for some sort of identity verification and you'll risk getting on some TLA's shit list. So you reset their password or do whatever they ask for.
The FBI is particularly susceptible to social engineering attacks. To the point that, when they had more responsibility for conducting background checks for security clearances, the DoD was always bitching about how they were giving up more information than they were collecting while interviewing friends/neighbors.
And it's a problem even today. One of the projects of several NGOs has been to teach people in third world countries to use indoor cooking/heating stoves with chimneys and dampers. Better air quality and much less fuel consumed. The collection of which is a major task for the communities.
Perhaps Tesla should have selected (or produced) a battery design more amenable to automation and close packing in battery banks with serious cooling requirements. Too many design teams just toss their work over the wall to manufacturing and QA, expecting them to solve problems that never should have arisen in the first place.
Didn't work. Evidently Barriss had spent two years in jail for making bomb threats. But he was released early to relieve prison overcrowding.
It all comes down to the lack of responsibility on the part of state and local governments to contain their riff-raff. They need to pay for a large part of the damages here. And that payment needs to come out of the pockets or some of the pet projects in the liberal shitholes in CA. And when they ask where their new schools are or why their lights start to go off in the middle of air conditioning season, we'll just show them the new prison facilities they funded instead.

What about caring for their needs?
Don't care.
And once all that 'out of state' riff-raff figures out that CA is no longer a deep pocket for GibsMeDats, they'll go back home.

From the point of view of the batteries alone, manufacturing 18650s should be a solved problem. Particularly with Panasonic in the loop.
Perhaps Tesla should have selected (or produced) a battery design more amenable to automation and close packing in battery banks with serious cooling requirements. Too many design teams just toss their work over the wall to manufacturing and QA, expecting them to solve problems that never should have arisen in the first place.

All this wisdom about the value of work from a guy who hasn't had a typical job since he wrote a traffic data app using school computer time.
On the other hand, all that vacation will give people more time to write FOSS.
