"early reviews of Facebook's Oculus Rift and HTC's Vive headsets have reduced non-gamers to tears."
What exactly is that implying? The headsets are so awesome that non-gamers will start gaming? They're so awesome non-gamers are crying because their gaming loved ones will spend all their time playing games again? Motion sickness? WTF?
Allergies probably. The 'True Pollen'(tm) technology in the headset for a realistic outside feel has been leading to excess mast cell disaggregation.
Short version: photons seem to have inertial mass after all.
...which raises some very serious questions such as why do we always observe photons as having the same speed regardless of frequency? In addition the proposed mechanism means that the quantization of inertia depends on the size of the universe. If this effect is observable today then shortly after the Big Bang the effect would have been incredibly huge due to the far, far smaller size of the universe. This raises serious questions bout the effect on nucleosynthesis etc. which Big Bang models without this physics appear to get right.
That's what makes it fun. A love a good contradiction in physics. Someone is going to be wrong..
You cannot just rewrite fundamental physics to fix one issue without also looking at the implications of your theory for other predictions which is it likely to change. Worse it seems that nobody has tested these drives for the emission of charged particles. A far, far simpler explanation is that this drive works by electron emission. There are a variety of way this can work which all work in a vacuum but whic would unfortunately not work in space where you are electrically isolated and would eventually build up a counter charge and cause the thrust to reduce to zero over time. This all uses established fundamental physics so it would be nice to see this ruled out BEFORE coming up with crazy new physics. It might be less exciting but it is better science.
We will keep making more sophisticated encryption. You will not beable to keep pace with our progress. We do not want you in our devices, fuck your laws.t
As one of the people who makes the crypto in the devices, I am delighted that the overreaching government actions have made it much easier for me to argue to do the right thing in terms of taking security seriously at all levels in our products and I assume this is the same in many companies. People have been claiming to do this for ever, but the apple-fbi thing really got engineers to think about it the right way.
On my desktop system at home, the video cable and power cord snake through the stand and down behind the table unseen. The USB ports are off to the right of the monitor where the cables would be hanging in mid air. I went wireless and keyboard/mouse wiring was moot.
At work I've got 5 monitors on my desk along with gadgetry of all sorts and three power strips to plug in all the power bricks. So there's nothings to be done. I gave up making that tidy. Trying to use a wireless mouse is futile. The RF environment results in a range of about 12" for a new Logitech M525, which can get 5 feet at home. So I just glory in the impenetrable thicket of wires that occupy that rear 50% of my desk.
A daisy chain carrying all things (power, ethernet, video, usb HIDs etc) would be an improvement. It's a shame how badly they screwed up P1394. USB-C is a start.
I have an awful lot of monitors with USB hubs as well.
I have never ever got on well with those things. I don't want a bunch of wires hanging from my monitor. My USB hubs live below the level of the desktop where they belong.
Shared libraries require that all the library code be present making ROP attacks easier and when there's a vulnerability in the library it is present in all the programs that link to the shared library.
Static libraries require only the code that used to be present, making ROP attacks harder. When there's a vulnerability in a set of versions of the library it is only exposed if the vulnerable code is linked and the a vulnerable version is linked.
So neither is perfect, but I like stand alone binaries that don't have shared library dependencies. They don't lead to trouble when I move them between linux versions.
I don't think so. When I've been highly ketonic (which happens in the first few days of switching to a no-carb diet) there was a slight ketone smell, but not a highly stinky ketone smell.
There are however multiple different types of ketone, so maybe some people make more of a stinky type of ketone than others.
It would require a proper scentific study to work out the answer.
The science was never settled. The research funding dictated who had a voice.
You act like you needed to write that second line. No science can ever be settled, that would practically by definition make it stop being science.
Alright. 'mostly settled'. There was always a large contingent of researchers pointing out how the studies that had been done don't back up the claims of the benefits of low fat or replacing saturated fat with mono and polyunsaturated plant based fats. Yet the advice coming out of government and in the media always portrayed that as the findings until recently.
The thing with nutrition is you can test it for yourself. Different people respond differently to the same diet. Knock out each of the macronutrient groups in turn and see what happens. Try the paleo thing and see what happens. Try vegetarian and see what happens. Get regular blood tests and repeatable assessments to keep yourself honest. I did and I found a high fat low carb diet was highly successful that corrected my cholesterol and made me lose a lot of weight. A simple counter example to the claims of the government's nutritional advice.
The actions of police have no bearing on whether an inference is sound. The method determines how sound it was. You seem to have a problem understanding this. I've explained it twice now.
No it could not. The science of evolution is well founded. Climate science has a harder problem to address, but is as rigorous as is reasonable in the circumstances. Nutritional science is a joke.
But, but, but... It must've at some point... The benevolent and omniscient government officials kept telling us, that butter is evil. They could not ban it outright for the adults, insisting on their silly "liberties" and "freedoms, but they did ban it for children. As recently as in 2013!
Oh yeah, the science was settled. Only deniers would ever believe anything but the evils of butter. The. Science. Was. Settled. Anyone not accepting that is in the pocket of "big butter" and should be sent to jail.

I don't presume to know any good accounting for any national origin of aspects of music today. I do know that the diatonic scale and its modes appeared independently in different places and so did the pentatonic scales. Jazz is a broad thing. It's easy to identify tributaries from multiples genres in multiple places. The harmonic minor was common in European classical music, is rampant in Middle Eastern music and pops up all over the place.
Trying to claim some musical style or scale or chord progression is the property of a skin color is silly.
where does the FBI think it has 25K to offer up?? I mean yes its a shame, but shouldnt reward money be paid for by the victim, not the taxpayer???
I suspect it's considered cost effective. If you can tempt someone to squeal, that's a whole lot of police work you don't have to do to catch the perps.
Bespoke is nice, but I was not in South Korea and OTS + alter is just fine. The cost of a plane ticket across the pacific undermines the benefits of a cheap bespoke suit abroad.

>Yeah. If the effect is so small you can't tell if its experimental error, it's hardly going to take you to fucking Mars...
But it's going to tell you something about the way the universe works for a lot less than the cost of a CERN.
Short version: photons seem to have inertial mass after all.
Slightly longer version: If the guy's model is a complete explanation of the measured thrust, then photons have inertial mass.

You're not the only one. This happens to some. I haven't seen a good explanation as to why this happens to some people.

The justice department has nothing to do with whether or not the science was done competently. your understanding of causation seems to be limited.

No it isn't.

Just sayin'
This is like static linking. Just link in all the code from all the libraries your program uses. Back to the simple life.

I agree, automation may come.
