It looks like Big Shrink (BS) theory is easier to understand: we are shrinking, our rulers are shrinking, so cosmic distances are looking bigger in every direction. It explains why our Universe is flat and why we cannot find a Universe-big source of energy for expanding of the Universe.

Spacetime is just 4D array: [x,y,z;t]. "Bending of spacetime" means that you need to apply a shader to this array.

If you want to talk about physics of the process, then you need to pick up a physical medium first, not an array of measurements.

> Those investments only benefit very few people though

Buy stock and benefit (or take a loss) with them.

> Instead the government needs to invest in projects that create jobs for everyone.

Vote for such government or immigrate to a socialists country, Venezuela or North Korea. They have the lot of jobs.

For example, I raised some money from Alice, so I have obligation to pay $1M(+%) to Alice. In other words, Alice invested $1M into me. Now, my business grows, risks are reduced, so Bob paid $1.25M to Alice. Now, I have obligation to pay $1M(+%) to Bob instead of Alice.

What's wrong with that?

Offshore companies are very popular in countries with unstable economy, like Russia, because oligarchs can confiscate your money at any time, so people in Russia are fighting with offshores with help of oligarchs. This is the real problem for them.

You cannot bullshit A's, so bringing your weak points to the table upfront will give you some credibility in the eyes of A's, but it will do the opposite in the eyes of B's. It's detailed in "Getting naked"[0].

If you are doing consultation and want satisfied clients only, or looking for an A level job only, then it's OK. If you are looking for any job (with high salary, of course), then it better to hide your weak points, to be accepted by a B, and then do the dull work.

It can be solved without centralized server: every content site, page, or paper, will publish Bloom filter for their content discoverable via sitemap, to which you subscribe via RSS/Atom. When you need to search, you will make hashes for words in your query, then will check each Bloom filter for potential matches. When potential match is found, full page source can be downloaded and checked more carefully for ranking.

Yep, Debian is not even trying to develop a full OS. They are distributing GNU/Linux with few popular desktops (Gnome, KDE, Mate, XFCE, etc.), and popular applications.

GNU project tries to develop full OS for Linux kernel. GNOME project tries to develop full desktop for GNU/Linux. The Document Foundation tries to develop full office suite. And so on.
