I think you might mean schizotypal symptoms. Schizoid personality disorder is considered "on the spectrum" with schizophrenia but has very little similarity to it other than social withdrawal.
Please stop using that term unless you're talking specifically about the worshippers of Kali who would strangle and rob travelers in India in the 19th century. It does not mean anything else. It can never mean anything else.
Sounds like there is a need for investment into innovation beyond just building the next-generation fab for $2^x billion. Bringing the cost of a new less-advanced fab down from $2 billion to $100 million, and then building 20 of them, could also be profitable (though less exciting). There is a national economy that's actually been growing quite well for a few decades now by applying that general idea to other industries.
20Hz and 20KHz are just general guidelines for where sensitivity rapidly falls to zero in people with normal hearing. A lot of (primarily young) people can hear frequencies outside that range. I can still hear a sine wave down to about 14Hz, and I'm not sure if the limit is from my ears or the audio interface that's only rated down to 20Hz.
I can imagine "feeling" 1Hz from a big subwoofer, but it's hard to imagine what actually hearing 1Hz would be like. I wouldn't rule it out, though.
You're sure you're not hearing some harmonic? IIRC THD at lower frequency increases drastically. Or wind noise of the subs (they're moving lots of air)?
You can check with a measurement mic what's audible (& make sure to take measurements at multiple points in space due to the low wave length).
To decrease the lower frequency of the audio interface, you probably have to modify the output DC decoupling capacitors (those act as a high pass; bigger C = lower f).
If I'm filling out a modal form and "Cancel" doesn't result in a clean form after I open it again, it should probably say something like "Hide" or "Finish later" instead.
In a just world, that's a way to gain market share. In our world, people concede their data for marginal improvements in the quality of a feature because they can't conceive of how giving up control of their data could come back to harm them. It doesn't feel like there is a downside.
I don't remember the details (or outcome) but there was a lawsuit a few years ago involving CAD or architecture software and whether they could limit how the output images were used because they were assemblages of clipart that the company asserted were still protected by copyright. Something like that. A lot of "AI" output potentially poses a similar issue, just at a far more granular level.
We could launch a vessel to Proxima Centauri right now that would arrive in thousands of years. If the passengers have lifespans measured in millions of years, that's comparable to a month for someone who lives 80 years.
Has a method of long term stasis been found yet (like you see in Interstellar or other movies) where you can nap and be kept alive for that long? Otherwise I think you'd still need to overcome the mental limitations of being stuck in a metal tube for thousands of years with no way out and no way to pass the time. Or at the very least, some way of staying asleep for a few years--wake up for a few months--sleep for a few years--wake up for a few months and so on.
My guess is that stasis would be feasible sooner than keeping people fully alive and awake for the whole journey. In the latter case, they'd probably spend most of their time in the holodeck. Either way, on the scale of the universe, living in a metal tube is not very far removed from being stuck to the surface of a small iron pebble as we are now.
