Not disrespecting your statement OP, thank you for making it

...tens of thousands...

FTFY

You just sound like an anti-corporation racist! \s

His ears look like kitten fuzz...

I think this is neat!

I have no answer but I want to help the post gain attention by putting a comment in here.

I would be super interested in the answer as well, though again I have no idea what it might be or even what factors go in to the equation. I may be off in my assumption (and you may have already accounted for it) but I imagine the calculations for a satellite orbiting the body whose horizon is the subject must be different by at least one term from the calculations of governing a body orbiting the same mass as the horizon-owning-body

This is the Sound of Freedom conman, right?

Fountain soda costs a few pennies per gallon, the lost earnings of which would ordinarily be counted as small beans compared to the wages saved by reducing the bodies you need to pay to run your restaurant. The pandemic taught companies though that you don't need a body for every job, you need only as many as it takes to keep the door unlocked. The single person whipped and frantic doing the jobs of eight people will just have to work harder and maybe next year they'll get a fifteen cent raise

I'd like to come back and read over this later. The point OP is making seems pretty obvious but it is quite directly contradicted by the sources you just provided. I want to read those later

This looks very neat, hopefully I'll be looking at it again later today.

Survivor of a TBI checking in.

I thought about this a bit actually in my earlyish recovery, though I never did confirm my thoughts with any doctors who might know more about the mechanics I was interpreting me perceptions of.

In summary, I don't think it would help (for those with injuries exactly identical to mine*). The problem as I constructed it in my mind, was;

1. A problem with my ability to interpret balance from my senses.

• I could still sense all the things I could pre-injury, but the signals would travel down the wires of my body with different kinds of "noise" than my brain had learned to adapt to for the first 20+ years of my life.

2. A problem with my ability to control the fine-motor aspects of all my balance-affecting body parts.

• The relative position and momentum of every moving and not-moving part of your body contribute to your overall "state" of balance. Now my control to each part of my body had (similar to the sensing syste's "wires") different levels of noise to adapt for than it has taught itself to deal with so far.

I think a system like the Exoskeleton referred to here would probably fix or at least greatly reduce the second problem, but the first problem would require, at the very least, a "processor" that could replace the thing that determines my balance from all my various senses (my brain, at least one part of it).

I guess I agree with that principle. I'm perhaps unfairly imagining giving more context in the article would have been a better "product".

Hah, I lived in that shit hole when I was still a conservative, my dad still denies climate change
