Reply to comment by SNRatio in The Vyvanse patent expires this year. How long does it usually take generic alternatives to get approved, and how much of a reduction in cost is expected on average? by paleselan1
That's because we have a rule in place to give that first generic a 180 say exclusivity benefit because they were first, where they still price gouge because the only price they need to beat is the name brand one, and only barely.

Moving fast is stronger. About 14 ms per year slower due to moving fast versus .3 ms per year from lower gravity at ISS orbit.

If a Barnes and Noble buys and front-faces more of a book at store #723 because it's been selling a bunch there, they're not obligated to read it and verify it's not libelous or whatever. It's their choice, but having a book isn't an explicit endorsement of it. So why would YouTube, which is effectively like a chain of stores selling videos (with one store per person), be liable if they advertise videos to someone (as they're effectively the sole customer at an individual store).

If SpaceX gets Starship to the same frequency and reliability as Falcon 9, the market for other launch providers is almost gone. 60 Starship launches a year would outclass all other launch providers combined by an order of magnitude, at a lower combined cost.

Health insurance still is a factor. I have great coverage now, and have gotten predeterminations for things not-always-covered that are pretty expensive. Could I do that again elsewhere? Probably? Is it a guarantee? Not at all. Those predeterminations are worth roughly 18k a year for me, and the knowledge that future ones will be easier is another roughly 15k a year with things I know are coming. So any new job is starting out at a presumed 33k deficit on comparison, nevermind all the normal hurdles and comparisons. And good luck being able to find out detailed health insurance info pre-hire, much less individual coverage questions.

Eh, would have expected her to get more than 4-5% of the will, then.

Much cooler. The heat of vaporization of water is 5.4x the calories to take the water from 0 C to 100 C. It's even a good multiple of the enthalpy of fusion. Most of the water would freeze if it stays in one place. I think it'd be roughly -50 C, based on some videos I looked up about vacuum chambers.
