  • Jerzy Paczos, pursuing his Ph.D. at the University of Stockholm, Kacper Dębski, finishing his Ph.D. at the Faculty of Physics, Szymon Cedrowski, a final-year Physics (Studies in English) student, and four more experienced researchers: Szymon Charzyński, Krzysztof Turzyński, Andrzej Dragan (all from Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw) and Artur Ekert from Oxford University, have just pointed out that the difficulties with tachyons so far had a common cause.
    Physicists suggest tachyons can be reconciled with the special theory of relativity

  • I said we were having fun. He said, how can you think that’s appropriate in the law faculty? I didn’t have an answer. Fun is very appropriate in the law faculty.

  • Toward the end of high school I had a crush on a girl I ran cross country with. Another guy in the group asked her to prom. I was crushed. I awkwardly asked her out anyway, three months before leaving for college. The fallout left me more socially anxious in the first couple of years of college than I would have liked. I got into anime around then, partly because I was lonely. I was privately embarrassed about it, less because of the anime than because I was watching it because I was lonely.

  • When I was in the undercover car, I was astonished to learn that most Met police cars aren’t allowed to chase criminals on e-bikes in a police car because of the risk to the e-bike riders (and prior fatal incidents). Criminals have certainly taken advantage of this policy, another illustration of the risk/reward calculus in action.

  • Frank Herbert (yeah, I know I'm a nerd), in God Emperor of Dune, has a character observe: "What do such machines really do? They increase the number of things we can do without thinking. Things we do without thinking; there's the real danger."
    The machines are fine. I'm worried about us.
  • For most of us, saying that we’re cogs in a machine would significantly over-credit our influence.

  • All he wanted, he’d said, was to hang out with his friends. I believed him. He wanted not to be alone, the way he’d been alone for a year after having his offer of admission rescinded by Harvard. For people to pay attention to him. To exist for other people. But instead of making friends the normal way, he’d walked up to strangers and asked whether they wanted to start a company with him, and then he built the most despised startup in San Francisco.

  • As far as he was concerned, the fact that tech people were tripping over themselves to take part in his stunt just confirmed his generally low impression of them. “They have too much money and nothing going on. They have no swag, no smoke, no motion, no hoes. That’s all you need to know.”

  • If you want to be loved, find something you love. People can sense it when you have something you’re dedicated to. No one wants the burden of being the answer to your dissatisfication. When you’re unsure of yourself, it’s easy to be obsessed with the idea of love—the idea that happiness will arrive when someone else loves you. This can lead to you ignoring your own life.
