  1. Absence of evidence on Has Physics Gotten Something Really Important Really Wrong? (npr.org) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    And what IS the evidence then for there being only one universe?
    Same goes for time being real.
    The article does not provide evidence for this, thus contradicting its own demand for evidence.

    It is just bla bla blah.

  2. Knife.

  3. Re:More accurate statement.... on Consensus On Consensus: Climate Experts Agree On Human-Caused Global Warming (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    If these models have to be judged over longer timespans, then you cannot know that they are true yet.
    Yet you behave as if they are true.

    Probably because of some nutty ideology.

  4. Re:I can hash fingerprints on Unhashable: Why Fingerprints Are Weaker Security Than Passwords (hackaday.com) · · Score: 2

    That method will usually fail because fingerprints are deformable.

    And I need money to survive. My knowledge might help me get money, by selling it.

  5. Re:I can hash fingerprints on Unhashable: Why Fingerprints Are Weaker Security Than Passwords (hackaday.com) · · Score: 2

    ... and this comment would give too few space to write down the beatiful proof?

    No, but I see no point in giving it away for free.

  6. I can hash fingerprints on Unhashable: Why Fingerprints Are Weaker Security Than Passwords (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    I can also extract a cryptographic code from a fingerprint, and it can be revoked and a new one made.
    I know this sounds impossible, and nobody but me seems to have made a good system for this.
    Probably because the math is quite tricky and unpublished.

  7. Re:Global warming has been changed to Climate Chan on Greenland Ice Sheet Not Covered In Soot · · Score: 1

    A former musician, Coby Beck, writes about climate on Grist, and you want us to accept him as an expert on climate.
    That is stupid.

    I am a physicist, a real expert on stuff like that, and I know that the global temperature has not increased for almost 20 years.

  8. Consensus is not Science on Congressional Testimony: A Surprising Consensus On Climate · · Score: 1

    Consensus is not Science.
    Science is testing and Ockhams Razor.

  9. Real bias? on Silicon Valley Still Wrestling With Diversity Issues · · Score: 2

    Is this the usual screaming about bias without actually measuring any?

  10. Re:Again? on A Plan On How To Stop Sexism In Science · · Score: 1

    this means is that every woman who does become a vet had to work 4 times as hard and be 4 times as talented as the men who became vets.

    Thanks for showing so clearly that you do neither understand math nor statistics.

  11. Re:Catholicism + Climate Change = Totally Appropri on Pope Attacked By Climate Change Skeptics · · Score: 2

    All other plausible non-anthropogenic mechanisms have been investigated and do not explain the observed data. Every aspect has been investigated every which way for decades.

    Claiming data and mechanisms are not the same as providing data and mechanism.
    You have just claimed, not provided, thus hinting that you are wrong.

  12. Re:Hostile environments on How To Increase the Number of Female Engineers · · Score: 1

    Anyway, Slashdot is a perfect example of said hostile environment, from the subtle ("You're joking, there aren't any women on the internet!") to the cesspit that the discussion turns into whenever the topic comes up. I'm sick of it, frankly, and I really should just stop bothering to read the comments on most stories, causing me to lose out on the occasional insightful nugget, but helping my blood pressure. Someday, it might even be bad enough to drive me away.

    Which was my point. Telling someone that they are imagining there is a problem is highly offensive, really, and tends to make people not want to be around you.

    Your comment is one of the more hostile ones I have seen here.

  13. Re:Maxwell's equations fail? on Old Marconi Patent Inspires Tiny New Gigahertz Antenna · · Score: 1

    "Lens" is the common name for an antenna made of insulating material.

  14. Re:You no longer own a car on Automakers To Gearheads: Stop Repairing Cars · · Score: 1

    The most complex well functioning systems are made mostly by hobbyists, such as Linux, FreeBSD, etc.

  15. Stupid corrupt commenters on Assange Talk Spurs UK Judges To Boycott Legal Conference · · Score: 1

    Assange discovers corruption in politics, police, and judiciary, etc.
    He then makes some evidence of this public.
    Then they attack him, in corrupt ways.
    And then he flees into an embassy.

    And top commenters here argue he should just bow to corrupt systems,
    follow some "laws", as if they were not corrupt.

    These commenters are stupid or corrupt, obviously.

  16. Wrong on There's No Such Thing As a General-Purpose Processor · · Score: 1

    I have designs for general and efficient processors, or rather computing structures, and it is provable they are both efficient and general.

    The generality of computing has been known for a long time, through emulation of Turing machines, but this has not been efficient.

  17. Means falling warmth on Past Measurements May Have Missed Massive Ocean Warming · · Score: 1

    If the heat sink really is bigger than they thought, then Global Warming must have decreased more,
    because of remaining heat from the sink.

    The global temperature stopped increasing over 18 years ago. A big heatsink will dampen the temperature changes slowly. So an even global temperature which is being warmed by the heat sink, means that the warming has to have decreased.

    In other words: A big heat sink is a sign of global cooling, not warming. And the lack of people pointing out this rather obvious physical connection, is a sign that they are charlatans, or quite stupid. And yes, I am a real physicist, not a political appointee pretending to be one.

  18. Impossible physics on Can You Tell the Difference? 4K Galaxy Note 3 vs. Canon 5D Mark III Video · · Score: 1

    The lens is just too small for 4K. It is impossible for that many different photons to pass through it at the same time. Photons are in practice about one millionth of a meter big, so about 1000 could fit beside each other passing through a 1 mm lens. But this is only valid for wide angle pictures, fish eye optics. Real phone cameras use just a limited angle, a limited view of this, removing even more photons. Even 1080p is often more than the cameras can really do.

  19. Propaganda comments on TCP/IP Might Have Been Secure From the Start If Not For the NSA · · Score: 1

    There seems to be more NSA shills here now, using faulty logic to defend NSA, such as crypto being too slow then, and that it is right to withheld crypto.

    The choice of using crypto on the net would have been nice to have back then, for stuff like protecting people, nations, businesses, even if the crypto was slow. So the job of NSA is obviously not to protect USA, but weaken it, and others. There were faster crypto back then, which of course also was weaker, but could have been strengthened by such methods as longer keys and hardware.

  20. Mathematically impossible on Naming All Lifeforms On Earth With Hash Functions · · Score: 1

    It is impossible to make a hash function that gives one hash to a set of similar genes, because there will always be too many near ambiguities.
    There are however other ways of doing things that behave like hashes. I made the best method for this for fingerprints, so I should be contacted for stuff like this.

  21. Re:So Don't Convict on Why Whistleblowers Can't Get a Fair Trial · · Score: 1

    When you're on a jury, you have a duty to both the accused and your nation to consider evidence fairly, within Constitutional constraints. Being prevented from seeing evidence would, to me, be all the reason necessary to give a verdict of 'not guilty.'

    Absence of evidence really IS evidence of absence, as proved:

  22. Research is unpredictable on ITER Fusion Reactor On Track To Generating Power By 2028 · · Score: 1

    Research is by definition: learning about the unknown, so the time frame will be unknown too.
    This belief that progress of fusion can be predicted, or that development time can be predicted, is just a religious dogma of the ruling bureaucratic class.

  23. Re:Say absolutely nothing with any real meaning on How To Talk Like a CIO · · Score: 1

    6Sigma is wrong, because it uses gaussian distributions, which reality only uses some times.

  24. USB flash dies fast on Taking a Hard Look At SSD Write Endurance · · Score: 1

    I have used a lot USB flash sticks for operating systems, and they wear out fairly fast. A couple of weeks is typical.
    I am currently using SanDisk short sticks, and they have lasted the longest so far.

  25. Re:This ain't the first time ... on Is the Era of Groundbreaking Science Over? · · Score: 1

    Magnetism can be explained.
    One starts with electrostatic fields, and separate it into two, one negative, and one positive.
    One then make relativist dilation of these fields, and add them together.
    Then one have electrostatic plus magnetism.

    In other words: Magnetism is the relativistic
      difference between the field from the nucleuses standing still in a wire, and the electrons moving.
