Trappings of Corporate Socialization

Submitted by will on Tue, 10/10/2023 - 06:23

Corporations are powerful, useful and fascinating inventions full of the trappings of humans and are the embodiment of some of the tensions of what it is to be a person. They can be safe. They can be ruthless. Some people bristle at the thought of a cube farm and I think some people prefer the safety of a corporate environment.

Can Eyeball Planets Be Tidally Locked?

Submitted by will on Sat, 04/29/2023 - 00:00

Intro
It's not at all clear to me that an eyeball planet is possible. By definition eyeball planets are tidally locked which implies that the rocky planet, any surface water or ice as well as it's atmosphere all remain in a fairly stable distribution around the planet. Because the planet is tidally locked it would result in looking like an "eye".

There are two scenarios for which I am curious to know more about: a) planets with tremendous amounts of water and b) planets with modest amounts of water.
