I have used https://skiplagged.com that takes advantage of this rule but takes it slightly further. You book the entire flight but don't get on the second leg of your flight. Occasionally it comes out cheaper than if you just book the first leg on the same flight.

> The question is what those limits really are and in some cases we do not yet know them but for the most part we have a pretty good idea of what is and is not possible technology wise.

I don't think so. We have no idea what those limits really are. What you're saying now would be like someone from the 1850s, before the invention of electricity, claims that there's no way that we can communicate instantaneously with people on the other side of the planet, actually scratch that, make that people from the next town over, because PHYSICS! I mean, it just isn't possible because we're limited by the physical distance, right?

I think it's silly to think that we can even predict what the new physical limits will look like in 100 years. At least I hope that is the case. Still pissed off that we don't have flying cars yet though.

No. I think what we consider technology now will be very different in 100 years. Where previously, the discovery of fire or the invention of wheels were technology and no one at the time could conceive of the idea of the Internet let alone ML. I believe in 100 years, there will be so much progress in technology that the idea that technology is limited by physics will be absurd. We're living in an incredible time of free education to the masses via MOOCs and even YouTube tutorials. We have expanded knowledge sharing and learning at a rate that has never been seen in history.

That being said, all this is if we manage to advance our technology fast enough so we can survive climate change and wars at massively destructive scale.
