That rounding error in another context may well spell disaster
True, in another context. But to be fair in this context the rounding error is basically meaningless. It would be nice if they were more up front about this being lossless though.
It would be obvious if the repeated results were from lensing since the signals would come from two different locations. Also, there might be some clue in the signal if it was just a repeat of the same event.
How is it wishful thinking to assume that something we already know is possible will exist in more than one place in the galaxy? It is more wishful thinking to assume our solar system is that unique.
Obviously the smart assumption is that we will find them when we have the technology. Just because we haven't started looking for small rocky planets in the habitable zone doesn't mean there's any reason to think they only exist in our solar system.
The huge problem here is that his data is based on what we know about exoplanets so far. Of course his model will show most of the planets are much larger than earth. Those are the ones we're able to find so far.
The technology uses the frequencies generated by LED bulbs -- which flicker on and off imperceptibly thousands of times a second -- to beam information through the air, leading it to be dubbed the "digital equivalent of Morse Code"
What the hell is that supposed to mean? Is this supposed to be the first digital communication technology that operates by turning something on and off rapidly?
It's not relevant that he was an Uber driver, it's relevant that he continued to work in the middle of the shooting spree. It's at the very least unusual behaviour that is worth noting.
You are saying the grounds for your protest is that you don't want to waste money on the criminal, and yet you are calling for a fix that is much more expensive. No, the OP said nothing as foolish sounding as that.
Infrared can't pass through stars or planets either, and those are far more numerous than black holes. But they are also all still small enough they don't matter that much. The real problem was the dust and gas blocking huge areas and that is what recent surveys have been able to improve on.
Obviously their are mathematical reasons why breaking strong encryption is hard, but security is only as strong as its weakest link which in the case of an iPhone is the 4 digit pin code. Modifying the OS to allow brute forcing of the pin code isn't a mathematical impossibility.
Apple hasn't said they couldn't cooperate, they said that they wouldn't. It seems likely there is at least something they could do if they were willing to cooperate.

Is the human eye capable of detecting the difference you gave in your example? That sounds unlikely.

No, I'm pretty sure the whole idea of digital display connections was to remove the unnecessary digital to analog and back to digital conversion.
No, not at all. Google Eratosthenes.
You basically just repeated what the parent post said. The simpler explanation is the more ordinary one that requires the least unproven assumptions.

Most people consider natural light in the house a feature.
The thing is it can't replace WiFi, only supplement it. So what's the point? WiFi is already fast enough for about everything I do anyway.

What's the point of caffeine if it only makes you perform normally? I drink caffeine to perform better than normal.

You should be ashamed of yourself for even thinking something so wrongheaded.
So what? Most people aren't capable of producing a product that would significantly benefit society.
Meaningless speculation.
I use Facebook plenty, but you can control what is posted to it. I can't say Facebook has diminished my privacy in any meaningful way.

Apparently a new era is upon us.
My local credit union just sent me a new card a month ago and it doesn't have a chip in it.

Context matters. It wasn't used to describe the box plugged into an electric outlet until around the 1990s.
