How does one get there without spending an absurd amount of money? They are very remote. I'd like to visit one day...

>SBF stole billions; enough money to make it worth going through every minute of the last decade of his life with a fine-toothed comb, he worked with a ton of other people who have knowledge on his methods (and are young enough to desperately want to avoid spending decades in prison themselves- so they will testify), and he was basically plugged into one device or another at all times.
This is a good point... The fact that he has billions probably makes it worth it to put a bunch of federal agents to work and crack his case. However, I still think he probably managed to sock away a few millions of dollars (a small drop in the ocean compared to his fortune) in offshore accounts/crypto wallets (Russia/China?) that may not be worth pursuing.

Oh, I have no doubts that he will be arrested and put to justice. I'm only talking about him hiding away a few millions of his billions of dollars in crypto 'sock drawers' of sorts.

I'm sure he's stashed a boatload of money in offshore accounts and cryptocurrency wallets. I don't think the government will be able to lay its hands on his money.
The government will be able to take most of his money, but I wouldn't be surprised if he has a few million dollars (a tiny portion of his large fortune) hidden away in hard to track crypto-wallets and offshore accounts.

That doesn't answer his question. Beta decay does not increase mass of the parent nucleus, only increases the atomic number.

Yeah... extremely specific biomolecules (such as u/FellowConspirator's DNA) are likely to be present only on Earth and nowhere else.

Wouldn't most of these exotic trans-uranium elements be formed in some quantity during events like supernovae? There's enough radiation and particles flying around in that event that I'm sure every isotope is formed (if only for a few short microseconds) due to the massive scale and energetics of the reaction.

I would imagine that there are 'weaker' versions of the Malthusian catastrophe argument. For example, in most of the western world, population growth is negative (and is low enough to present significant problems). US, for example, sustains its population through immigration, as the locals aren't having enough children. Similar story for recently developed/developing countries like China and India where the population growth rate has dropped significantly.
What if the resource in question isn't food, but something like cost of housing?

It is easy to perform fusion in a non-stellar scale. They did that in the 50s with hydrogen bombs.
The challenge is controlling the reaction.

I think that we can safely assume that unless there is a revolution in the field of AI, the current paradigms won't be sufficient to create a true AGI that puts us and our jobs at risk.

The younger generations will face an existential crisis. We are living in a time of unprecedented peace (relatively), powered by the blazing rise of technology over the last century or so. We went from traveling by horse drawn cart to putting a man on the moon in around 50 years. After the pace of the improvement of other technologies slowed down, the microchip made an entrance and ensured that the constant march of progress continued without impediment.
Not really the case any more. Moore's law is dead. Chips aren't becoming that much faster anymore. Planes aren't flying faster. People in poorer countries are living longer, but not necessarily in advanced economies as we are hitting walls in the field of medicine. AI is successful in certain cases, but is nowhere near taking over office jobs. We don't have self-driving cars or nuclear fusion, nor have we set up a habitat outside earth.
Our grandchildren are doomed to find meaning in a world where constant technological progress is not the norm. I eel scared for them. When technology became stagnant, life isn't good. Look at the middle ages in Europe, for example.

3x $2 items and $1 cheese roll up, along with tax adding up to $6.58? I see that you are well regarded in the field of elementary mathematics.
Overall, I do agree though, taco bell does give some of the best value fast food.

Russian invasion is the sacrificial lamb at the altar. America is insulated enough from Russia to not be affected this much.
The main reason for this inflation is due to central banks all over the world that printed literal truckloads of money during the COVID that is slowly making its presence known.

I am well-regarded in the field of macroeconomics, and i predict that inflation will remain high for the next 4-5 years till the economy reflects the amount of money printed by central banks throughout the world, and then stabilize.

Have you been to a taco bell recently? They've jacked up the price of most items. A bean and rice burrito (in the 'value' menu) now costs $3.5...
