Adding to IMarv's comments, the sun's neutrino output has at times varied inversely with the sun's surface sunspot count. Were the neutrinos produced in the sun's nuclear core, this relationship would be inconceivable, since solar physicists calculate that it takes about 200,000 years for the energy of internal fusion to affect the sun's surface. The observations seem to raise the possibility that fusion is occurring near the sun's surface, and it only took one non-correlated half-cycle for theorists to completely stop paying attention.

The graph which shows this anti-correlation has been deeply buried in academic papers, so I've published a copy of it here.

Most authors that have analyzed the full set of data from 1970 to 1990 find a reasonably significant correlation between the 37 Ar production rate and sunspot occurrences, solar oscillation frequency changes and solar magnetic fields.

One thing to consider, when contemplating the situation of an anti-correlation which apparently switches between on and off states is that the Sun clearly exhibits these different states through its cycle. To observe switching behavior, and immediately use that as reason to discount the existence of an anti-correlation is honestly a rush to judgment. You know, this is why we build models.

The submission states ...

Namely, it will try to help us finally understand why the Sun's atmosphere is 300 times hotter than its surface, which itself is a balmy 5,727C. This fact defies basic physics and to this day is unexplained. One of the leading hypotheses to account for the heat shift comes from famed physicist Eugene Parker, after whom the probe is named. In the mid-1950s, Parker theorized that the Sun's super-heated corona could be explained by a complex system of plasma, magnetic fields, and energetic particles that spark solar explosions called "nanoflares."

There have been a few important details consistently missing from the reporting on this subject:

(1) First of all, there is never any mention of the far simpler solution where the Sun is receiving some percentage of its power supply externally. A person need not be a solar physicist to understand that such a situation would create the thermal inversion which is observed. But, this common sense approach is never suggested in the science journalism on the subject.

(2) When Eddington first proposed his thermonuclear power source, it was widely believed that interstellar space was completely empty. And it wasn't until many years after the thermonuclear model gained in popularity -- with the first instrumented rockets launched at the start of the "Space Age" -- when it was discovered that an alternative power source -- charged particles -- fill space.

The Internal Constitution of the Stars, Arthur Eddington, p.25

"The problem of the source of a star's energy will be considered; by a process of exhaustion we are driven to conclude that the only possible source of a star's energy is subatomic; yet it must be confessed that the hypothesis shows little disposition to accommodate itself to the detailed requirements of observation, and a critic might count up a large number of 'fatal' objections."

The Internal Constitution of the Stars, Arthur Eddington, p.291

"In seeking a source of energy other than contraction the first question is whether the energy to be radiated in future is now hidden in the star or whether it is being picked up continuously from outside. Suggestions have been made that the impact of meteoric matter provides the heat, or that there is some subtle radiation traversing space which the star picks up. Strong objection may be urged against these hypotheses individually; but it is unnecessary to consider them in detail because they have arisen through a misunderstanding of the nature of the problem. No source of energy is of any avail unless it liberates energy in the deep interior of the star. It is not enough to provide for the external radiation of the star. We must provide for the maintenance of the high internal temperature, without which the star would collapse. The temperature gradient from the surface to the centre cannot be maintained by supplying heat at the bottom end. If, for example, sufficient heat is developed by meteoric impact to maintain the surface of Capella at 5200', the temperature throughout the interior will fall gradually to this level and the star will no longer be distended to low density."

It seems, in retrospect -- with the added information supplied by the presence of an all-pervasive cosmic plasma -- that Eddington's logic would have to be altered by many modern observations which support an external source.

(3) Consider, for example, the persistent mystery of the solar cycle. There's not really any reason for it which would necessarily follow from a thermonuclear model for the Sun:

"the solar activity cycle has fascinated scientists and amateurs alike for over a century, but its mystery remains, and even deepens, as we collect new data that reveals its full complexity" (

For example, Soviet Union has, thankfully, been dead for almost 30 years now, but the top-level domain (.su) continues to exist with plenty of sites under it.

And all of them spammers.

Is it just me, or does this seem fairly petty and petulant?

No, it is not just you. I wanted to say the same thing: petty. "Petulant" is an SAT-word and didn't come to my mind, but now that I've looked up the meaning, I agree, it is that too.

For example, Soviet Union has, thankfully, been dead for almost 30 years now, but the top-level domain (.su) continues to exist with plenty of sites under it.

he's using his political position (i.e. POTUS) to affect a private corporation. That can't possibly be allowed.

It sure doesn't seem like it was a problem for Obama

Since you were cool with it for eight years it seems hard to think of why it's a problem now.

In fact many seem to be saying these days the President should be some kind of moral compass. In that case I would argue it's the president's duty to attack immoral actions by companies, as Obama did. Trump is merry carrying on Obama's traditions.

There is, as best I can tell, no master map used by all or even most practitioners. The Google images for acupressure points show this: The variety of needle locations for ear, foot, or hand to treat the same disorders provides a good sense of the lack of consistency among these practitioners.

https://www.google.com/search?...

I've not been able to find a reliable report of using alternative needle placements to verify acupuncture effectiveness: I also admit to being surprised it wasn't tried, simply to ease the difficulty of a more traditional double blind test. I'd hope that the double blind could be done this way by having someone _other_ than the acupuncture expert place the needles. The non-placebo needle locations could be selected by the practitioner, and a double blind method applied to give the person applying needles a randomized but distinct set of alternative, safe needle locations. It could be particularly easily done with needles in places like the ear, which has a very close set of locations for different disorders in the maps shown on Google, and which the recipient cannot easily see or distinguish among.

It gets better, hereis what the street really looks like at night. About 1 second before the accident there is a yield to bikes sign due to all the bicycle traffic in the area.

Nit: That's not a yield sign, that's a bike lane sign. It doesn't indicate cross traffic, it indicates the shoulder of the road right of the solid white line is for bike traffic.

First, the user has to add the CA not only to the operating system's trust store but also the trust store of each web browser, as not all web browsers use the operating system's trust store.

Second, last I checked, it was harder to provision devices running a smartphone OS than devices running a desktop OS. Adding a certificate on Android is impossible without first setting up a PIN or pattern lock, and developers of apps made for Android 7 "Nougat" and later have to opt in to use of user-provisioned CAs through the network security config. Even if Chrome does, your favorite media playing app might not.

Third, friends or family bringing their own devices to your home in order to view the videos stored on your NAS or print to your printer might not be technical enough to complete the provisioning process on their own.

As described in the XDA link, custom ROM users aren't shut out. Individual users can request whitelisting of up to 100 devices, and makers of custom ROMs can also contact Google to get their standard images approved by default.

"'Space' was invented on Earth before we knew what was out there"

The car was also breaking the speed limit at the time.

Nope.

This being said, Uber's autonomous vehicle driving 5 mph above the posted speed limit should be the first red flag in this case.

Nope.

Let's review each of the many problems and oversights in your logic.

First, realize that Einstein died 3 years before (1955) anybody definitively understood that the universe is dominated by plasma (1958). Do you know why? Because for 24 long years -- from 1920 to 1944 -- the American public ridiculed Robert Goddard, the first person to suggest that we could send a rocket to the Moon, for not understanding that a "rocket would have nothing in space to push against" (a common misconception back then). Do you know what stopped the ridicule? The Germans took Goddard's invention and attacked Europe with 3,000 V2 rockets. Those V2's had all of Goddard's key inventions within them, because as the American public was mocking Goddard, the Germans were intently listening to everything he said.

Apparently, the American public learned nothing at all from that event, because to this day, we continue to ridicule innovators in the sciences. Like Don Scott of the Thunderbolts Group, Goddard was an American professor.

Re: "The scientific community says "gravity has to work pretty closely to how we think or satellites (among otehr things) wouldn't be possible and they clearly are"

Einstein lifted the Lorentz transformation from the aether theorists of the day. He did not invent this math.

Re: "So you need to come back with proof that you theory is at least as good as gravity in all areas that gravity is useful and can therefore replace it entirely or reconcile the parts that contradict gravity before it can be considered a viable addition to scientific knowledge"

The Electric Universe does not begin in the same place as conventional astronomy and cosmology. It starts by recognizing that the cosmic plasma models widely applied by astrophysicists are wrong -- and once the models are corrected to reflect our laboratory observations, the dark matter problem goes away. From that vantage point, options open up for how to proceed to explain gravity. But, Anthony Peratt's galactic simulation with proper rotation curves explains what is happening at the largest scales without need for any dark matter -- meaning that it essentially meets your criteria above (just not in the way that you imagined).

The point is that we have "potential wins" on both sides of this debate. It is not a one-sided affair, for instruments designed to detect dark matter have grown a million times more sensitive over the past 15 years -- meaning that dark matter is starting to look like modern cosmology's dead end.

You could have reasoned your way to the same conclusion without having to build all of those instruments, actually, by simply considering the ridiculous scales we are talking about here: If the Earth was just an inch from the Sun, the next nearest star would be a stunning 4 miles away (!). Simple logic and some very simple algebra is screaming at you that gravity is a "localized" force, starting at the interstellar scale.

Re: "General relativity works very well and is empirically verified by things like GPS satellites"

There are plenty of rebuttals online to this thoughtless claim. I encourage you to look them up. They're not difficult to find.

Re: "Because it is mysticism instead they claim that all things are plasma (because complex nuanced positions are hard to sell)"

All that I can say is: Welcome to the Space Age -- a revolution which is, apparently, still playing out.

Quantum Statistics of Nonideal Plasmas

"Plasmas play a fundamental role in nature. Probably more than 99 percent of visible matter in the universe exist in the plasma state. Plasmas exist, e.g. as interstellar gas, in stellar atmosp

On the specific issue of magnetic reconnection, I was really referring to the fact that there are two separate sides to that debate -- and the astrophysicists, if pressed, would have a difficult time explaining the opposing arguments.

In my opinion, a huge aspect to this problem is the institutional aversion to telling certain awkward stories that relate to these topics. The mistaken assumption of empty interplanetary, interstellar and intergalactic space is perhaps a prime example of a story which academics and science journalists seem to treat as sort of "rated X" insofar as they generally refuse to place any importance on it. Yet, it can be traced back to the selection of numerous theories in the early 1900's. For example,

"Alfven's proposal of a galactic magnetic field met with widespread resistance (if not scorn), as it directly contradicted the prevailing wisdom that a vacuum filled interstellar space."

Eddington explicitly refers to the assumption is his choice of models for powering the Sun:

"Since we are limited to energy liberated in the deep interior of the star, extraneous sources of supply are ruled out, and it is scarcely possible to escape the conclusion that the supply of energy for future expenditure is already hidden in the star. Energy, however, cannot be successfully hidden; it betrays itself by its manifestation as mass. Energy and mass are equivalent, and we know the masses of the stars."

Although I don't have an authoritative source on hand, it can also be shown that Sydney Chapman used the assumption to reject Kristian Birkeland's proposal that the aurora originated with the Sun.

These are remarkable historical observations insofar as we today know that this assumption was incorrect (And more than that, the mistaken assumption was hiding from Eddington an alternative potential power source.)

The thing about this is that it's rare to see anybody connecting the dots between this former mistaken assumption and the theories which "won out" as popular today -- yet, it is also remarkably easy to show that it did in fact play a part. And there can be little doubt that even Einstein's work could also be implicated as basing on it, for the first instrumented probes were not actually sent to space until 1958 -- 3 years after his death. So, can it be that Einstein was simply working with what he had available to him? The question would seem to be valid, for once plasma is introduced into the conversation, then we can without a doubt formulate alternative hypotheses for all sorts of cosmological observations.

The mainstream would be wise to start telling the story of this mistake, for it is extremely important. I try to explain why here.

Russia has a long history of telegraphing their intentions.

What I'm saying is that Putin doesn't respect us. And given the results of the last election it's getting harder to argue with the man. Literally as well as figuratively.

David Talbott, Ev Cochrane and Dwardu Cardona refer specifically to the oldest mythological archetypes -- the "archaic" ones. For specific examples, you'd want to search for their talks on youtube.

Realize that Plato broadly cast all of the earliest stories as a recounting of a single event. This quote is very important, due not only to its specificity but also for the unrecognized fact that Plato would appear to be describing the action of gravity -- a concept which he did not understand -- drawing back to Earth a debris field. In fact, this is a very simple explanation for why civilizations like the Mayans created calendars which looked far beyond the prediction of simple seasonal cycles:

"Phaethon, the son of Helios, having yoked the steeds in his father's chariot, because he was not able to drive them in the path of his father, burned up all that was upon the earth, and was himself destroyed by a thunderbolt. Now, this has the form of a myth, but really signifies a declination of the bodies moving around the earth and in the heavens, and a great conflagration of things upon the earth recurring at long intervals of time"

... then further on ...

"All of these stories, and ten thousand others which are still more wonderful, have a common origin; many of them have been lost in the lapse of ages, or exist only as fragments; but the origin of them is what no one has told"

The street lights just before where the accident occurred may have blinded the camera too.

Also the bushes and small trees to the left on the median would have blocked lidar and visual L.O.S. until she entered the road *and* the car was within 50'.

The road literally widened from 2 to 4 lanes right where the accident occurred.

https://www.google.com/maps/@3...

I don't see how an approaching car or human could have seen her before she was on the road.

I regularly (2-3 times a year) drive up on people who I simply do not see at night until I'm on them. If they were crossing the road instead of walking right beside it, I dont' think I could avoid hitting them.

Pull up google maps.

https://www.google.com/maps/@3...

Observe the sign that says not to cross there (one on the other side of the median too btw).

Observe the road widens from 2 to 4 lanes right before where the accident occurred.

Observe that trees and bushes on the edge of the median to the left would have blocked Lidar until the car was within 50' of where the accident occurred.

Confirm the scene against the video with the sign that reads

"
Begin right turn lane
-
Yield to Bikes.
"
Understand that it refers to bikes in the bike lane on the right.

Pull up a top down view and get a ruler and note that the street lights are about 120' apart here. They are much closer in my area ( 50-100' apart).

(Also, if you look up the light pollution map, the area to the right of the road is very dark).

Go 600' back down Mills road and observe the 45mph speed limit on this road.

It's a terrible accident. The road widening like that with bushes and small trees blocking lidar, the pedestrian walking across the road without even looking for oncoming traffic (because it was late at night on a sunday in what looks like a kinda empty area so there probably isn't much traffic).

Wait for people to really dig into this. Don't make a snap judgement.

I'm sorry someone died, but there has been a lot of bad information and a lot of people rushing to judgement before they have the facts.

So it is a bike crossing? Either way the car would not have performed any better if the lady was riding her bike instead of pulling it.

The e-field figures (5, 25 and 50 V/m) are pretty unrealistic as well. An LTE macrocell has 20-69 watts of energy at the antenna feedpoint. If you concentrate 69 watts with a 10 DBi gain lobe (typical for cell antennas and completely ignoring radiation efficiency losses of the antenna) you have to be within about 3 meters line-of-sight to get 50 V/m, 6 meters to get 25 V/m and 29 meters to get 5 V/m. There probably are cases in densely populated urban areas where you find yourself in the main lobe of an antenna at these distances, but cellular transceivers in these areas necessarily operate at the low end of the power range due to cell density, so it's pretty difficult to imagine a scenario where large populations of people are getting the amount of continuous e-field exposure used in this work.

The crossing zone is at the light, the accident occurred a significant distance from the stoplight. I'm not sure why you think there would be a crossing zone there, either, unless you got confused by the nearby bus stop? Here's the map, take another look -

No. It's been said since that the uber car was *not* speeding. CNN said the speed limit in that stretch of road is 40mph.

Look uber is a scumbag, scamming, cheating company. It sucks that this happened with one of their cars because it is hard to trust the information, video, etc.

Also (quoted from elsewhere)

"This article gives the location and that the car was northbound on Mill S. of Curry:
http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com......

When I trace back south, I get to a 45 mph sign, however the other side of Mill is 35 mph, and that sign is easier to find; a natural mistake, I expect. In CA, and I expect AZ, a divided road is considered two roads, which can have different speed limits. So the limit on the Uber car was 45.

https://www.google.com/maps/pl...

If that doesn't get you there, try 642 N Mill Ave, Tempe, AZ, turn on satellite, and zoom in.

Looking at the satellite image, several decorative brick strips go up to the curb, repeated on each side of the road. A bus stop is on one side. While these are probably not legal crosswalks, the breaks in the median vegetation make a strong case that they are used as such."

So, per the signs available for that side of the road, the speed limit was 45mph (and you can follow the link above to verify that for yourself personally).

Also, there are several "false" crossings between the divided road where the median is bricked but they have signs saying "do not cross here". The state probably should put up fences or remove the brick or remove part of the brick and plant bushes to block passage.

Here's a picture of one of them.

You do know that there are these things called rackmounted monitors and keyboards which allow you to directly access a server on a rack, right? They are designed to be 1U and stow away when not needed. If you don't I would have to wonder when is the last time you actually visited a server room.

And there are QUADRILLIONS of Stand-Alone Windows Servers that don't live in a Rack; because they are sitting in a closet or a back-room in a small business that doesn't have a full-time (or even part-time) IT Staff. They have a one or a few Power-Users that handle day-to-day "Admin" duties. Doesn't mean they "don't deserve" to read PDF docs on those Servers.

And there are also other legit situations where getting a file back from a Remote Server isn't so straightforward. What then?

You can demo firearms as much as you want; as long as you're not showing off how to install or manufacture the banned accessories, or how to construct firearms or manufacture ammunition, etc. The policy update
Prohibits attempting to then sell firearms or certain firearm accessories through direct private sale or linking to a website....

Finland, where rent control in the private market was gradually abolished in the 1990s? It seems as though currently in Finland, tenants can appeal to the court if they think a rent increase is unreasonable, but otherwise increases should be stipulated in the contract. There are voluntary guidelines but those aren't rent control either. Sweden, on the other hand, has fairly strict national rent control, and has a national shortage of housing while having similar rent-to-income ratios as Finland (second link). In Helsinki, large amounts of land set aside for public housing has contributed to insufficient housing supply, in addition to the long wait lists for said public housing.

Let's also not ignore the fact that Finland's population growth rate is significantly lower than that of San Francisco's, and has many fewer restrictions on constructing new dwellings.

Look, I'm not saying rent control is always bad, just that when it's combined with other policies like it is in SF, it can make the problem worse. Rent control (here we're talking about regulations on rent, not constructing more affordable housing) reduces supply. When you already have high population growth (and that growth is primarily people with higher incomes), a really burdensome and uncertain process to get approval to and then start building, a reduction in supply is the last thing you want. Overregulation or misregulation can be just as bad as underregulation.

Berth 240 (the property mentioned in the article) also has rail access. I don't think something this big could ship on rail, but Boeing has (and continues to?) ship 737 fuselages by rail...

I looked up "break" in the dictionary and found a verb.

break brÄk/ verb

        1. separate or cause to separate into pieces as a result of a blow, shock, or strain. "the rope broke with a loud snap"
        2. interrupt (a continuity, sequence, or course). "the new government broke the pattern of growth"

How do I push one?

The rest of the sentence was more baseless assumption, specifically, you're assuming the vehicle (or a driver) was able to see the person, and also able to react in time. But no, she was "invisible", let's go with that. Sorry if I don't want to respond to all of your baseless assumptions.

Since this is so full of assumptions, let's start with evidence.

This story shows the stopped vehicle, with damage to the right side. The sign in the photo looks like this sign. Despite articles claiming she was walking in a median, it looks like she was on the right sidewalk, especially considering the right-side damage on the car and the fact that the driver said it "happened in a flash" and that he only became aware of the collision because of the sound. If you look south in the direction where the car was coming from, there's a tree there covering part of the sidewalk. I'm going to assume that's where the woman was, maybe in the grassy area near the bench trying to cross the street to the median and ran or rode her bike off the sidewalk directly into the path of the car, which based on the picture looks like it was entering the right turn lane. The Tempe police chief, Sylvia Moir said this:

From viewing the videos, “it’s very clear it would have been difficult to avoid this collision in any kind of mode (autonomous or human-driven) based on how she came from the shadows right into the roadway,” Moir said.

So, from the evidence I'm looking at, and acknowledging that I haven't seen the video, it sounds like this woman came from behind a tree into the roadway and directly in the path of the car, with the driver first becoming aware that she was there when he heard the impact.

Now, what conclusions are you going to make about the capabilities of the sensor array, cameras, and software of the car? The driver himself says he never saw her - are you going to continue to assert that a human would have performed any differently? Could the driver have even seen the woman from behind the tree from 150 yards away like you keep saying?

If you want me to go look at the current state of that tree I can, I'll even check for recent marks where it may have been trimmed over the last day or two. I can tell you that, based on my own experience, the east side of the street right there does not receive heavy foot traffic at 10pm at night. The only destination is that theater, and it's on the other side of the street.

OK, your turn. Tell me all about how a person definitely would have seen her from 150 yards out and how the car lacks sensors and cameras.

doesn't it?

This is ~50 yards from where the accident happened.

Maybe the car was decelerating after identifying a newly posted 35mph sign?

But I am sure those "what if's" along with that same data will net the surviving family a nice chunk of change in litigation. It's not the fault of the person walking to oncoming traffic that's the problem here it's the ED-209 killer car traveling marginally outside of the posted limit.

Francis :).

A quick look at the site reveals how easy this person would have been to spot, I would go as far as to say even at night time this would have been super avoidable by any regular Joe.
The picture also reveals this goes uphill over a long distance. Now this lady was carrying shopping bags on the bike so she was overburdened to ride the bike, so she walked it up. What are the footpath laws of that area? is she required to have the bike on the road on the median? From the median she stumbles, bam, uber car.
Any "normal" person would have slowed down to pass. There are sadistic fucks who may have swerved inwards, but on the whole people are ok.
This should have been 100% avoidable by an autonomous device and raises some serious issues about safety versus time wasted to actually slow down cautiously at the cost of the rich person running late for what ever.

Sure looks like a sidewalk to me.

Maybe it's for design since it doesn't make any sense. If you move around on street view they put up signs telling people not to use it so something like this has probably happened before.
