They do have those mines that popup out of the ground and then explode, is that enough movement?

Because the smaller the blackhole is the faster it evaporates, below a certain energy the blackhole would turn all the energy/mass that was put into it into energy close to instantly, i.e. it basically turns into a bomb.
Your example of a soundwave is too local in scope, sure the wave will die down, but while the soundwave was propagating it's bumping into other particles and those particles affect other particles, which affect other particles, and on and on and on.
If you look locally, sure, eventually you wouldn't be able to tell the wave ever existed, but if you pull back far enough and take the state of the system and rewind it you will eventually reconstitute the wave.
Your example with annihilating particles is basically how CERN works, though we do know what we started with in some places.
I had started to describe the whole of how Hawking Radiation works, I'm sure you can find that easily elsewhere.
Unless we figure out how to create a black hole in the lab (spoiler, you wouldn't want to) or could get close to a natural black hole (spoiler, you wouldn't want to) you're not going to get any data for this.
I'm thinking specifically of 2002's S1M0NE[0].
I can't wait for this future.
Not to say that there isn't anything wrong with how people have been increasingly incensed in the last few decades, but that's basically what it was like in the 90s and before. Someone was like, "whoa dude what you said wasn't cool" was met with "it was just a joke".
Your reasoning cuts both ways I think.
Or of the "Great Stink"[2] in 1858 that was caused by so much sewage in the Thames, the main source of water for London, that it forced Parliament to actually do something about it.
By and large, yes there were fountains and village wells. But that water was usually contaminated because Europe at that time didn't have great sewage systems. People pissed a shat where ever they happened to be and that usually were near the very water sources they drank from.

I agree, it's a reasonable expectation that two people working should have a lifestyle that something like 100k/year would support.
That being reasonable doesn't change the fact that it's still more than what 70% of other situations get, regardless of how those situations came about.
If you want to compare that on an individual level then it's still not modest. The median Individual income is only 36k/year. Even on an individual level they're still doing better than 70% of the population on that level.
Yes, it's possible to be comfortable and live a nice life no in NYC or SF. But let's not delude ourselves into thinking that just because it's reasonable to expect that level of income for a household, that it's modest, or even the norm.
However the median household income is only $68k a year[0]. That is 50% of households in the US earned less than 68k/year. You're actually in the top 30%[1] of US households if your income is about 100k together.
I wouldn't call that modest by any stretch of the imagination.

You want software to be protected for the lifetime of the author + 70ish years? 95 years in case of corporate authorship?
The Beatles catalogue, released 60 years ago, won't pass into the public domain until 70 years _after_ the last Beatle dies. Maybe my grand kids will see that day.
Given that the law almost made the 8 note ostinato from Katy Perry's Dark Horse into a copyrightable bit of music I would weep if we tried to really apply copyright to software.

GRRM has style, and seems super original if you haven't read a ton of the genre.
Why is this news now?
