    I wonder if they are planning some anti-adblocker measures, or if they are just unaware that their business plan is completely flawed.

  6. Re:3-D to 2-D display on Photo First: Light Captured As Both Particle and Wave · · Score: 2

    Have a quote from the original article :

    The scientists shot a stream of electrons close to the nanowire, using them to image the standing wave of light. As the electrons interacted with the confined light on the nanowire, they either sped up or slowed down. Using the ultrafast microscope to image the position where this change in speed occurred, Carbone’s team could now visualize the standing wave, which acts as a fingerprint of the wave-nature of light.

    While this phenomenon shows the wave-like nature of light, it simultaneously demonstrated its particle aspect as well. As the electrons pass close to the standing wave of light, they “hit” the light’s particles, the photons. As mentioned above, this affects their speed, making them move faster or slower. This change in speed appears as an exchange of energy “packets” (quanta) between electrons and photons. The very occurrence of these energy packets shows that the light on the nanowire behaves as a particle.

    So, the photo shows the wave-like nature of light, and the fact that they could take a 'photo' by measuring the photo/electrons interraction shows the particle-like nature of light.

    Note: Is anyone aware of a term for photos taken with electrons (or anything that isn't photons) ?

  7. Echo chamber on Google Wants To Rank Websites Based On Facts Not Links · · Score: 1

    So they are essentially raising popular opinions to the top, and flagging unpopular opinions as wrong.

    I'm not convinced that this would be any better than counting incoming links.

    If your website still isn't usable without flash in 2015, I'll just go elsewhere.

  10. Re:So what's the point? on Americans Support Mandatory Labeling of Food That Contains DNA · · Score: 1

    The point is that you should be careful. Just because you see a scary sounding name doesn't mean that it is or isn't dangerous.
    The morale of the story is "We're in 2015, google it".

    Let's imagine that starting tommorrow the government kidnaps you and decides to start torturing you all day long for the foreseeable future.

    Would it suck? Sure it would. Would it KILL you? It shouldn't.
    Is that reason enough to just accept it ? I don't think so.

    Just because something isn't the literal end of the world doesn't mean you can safely ignore it.

  16. Bad PSNR on Google Announces Inbox, a New Take On Email Organization · · Score: 1

    It seems like I'm going to get even more irrelevant spam than with email. GMail does a god job of keeping the important mail in the main tab.

    But what the video is highlighting is "Promotion", "Purchases", "Social" (Sarah repinned your pin on Pinterest!, Miracles of modern science on Youtube!) and other "News".
    All I'm seeing on that phone interface is just noise and spam, there's very little actual information.
    I don't need more of that.
