Really it means that the concept of motion is different at the quantum level.
Not at all. The photon is not behaving as a point-like particle here where it passes through A and then B. Think of it as a wave which can be at both A and B at the same time because of its finite size.
Er... that was my point. At the quantum level the behaviour is different to classical, and this causes people not familar with QM issues with interpreting things. Obviously I failed to explain what I meant... In both parts of your reply I think you are acually trying to agree with me but didn't realise we are in agreement.
He didn't do this because he had some mamby pamby warm fuzzy self realization. He is doing it because the people now in charge care more about feelings than code quality.
So you are saying the largest contributors are SJWs, like IBM, Microsoft? It doesn't seem very likely.
Nope, because the first thing that's going to happen now is they'll start sifting through contributors social media accounts to find things that they can sanction them with against the CoC..
Don't be absurd. Most of the contributions are through companies, and for the benefit of companies. The level of SJW outrage is pretty minimal as there are almost no SJWs of the boogey-man definition people seem to have (as it is mostly a reds-under-the-bed fantasy), let alone involved in the Linux kernel.
The entire idea behind today's Left-wing thought is that there is no objective truth, only differing points of view, all equally valid.
No. I have literally no idea where you get that concept from. In fact one of my criticisms on the left (which others have made on slashdot) is absolutism, which is the antithesis of what you propose. Your views are so far from what I have experienced I am again utterly baffled.
The concept of "race" was birthed by the Enlightenment. Before that, there wasn't any racism, just Christians and heathens.
Do you honestly believe that? If you do, I am utterly baffled. That people had particular views of entire groups of people, and based on characteristics such as their skin, is attested to in ancient writings that predate Christianity.
I do, but I seem to have a different opinion to you. This, I am allowed to have. Personally, I think you are wrong, but you are also allowed to have that opinion.
I think the point is if you imagine a photon to travel from A to B and then to C, and thing P happens at A and Q at B, and detection of state at C, then you expect the events to happen PQ. But the experiment suggests that for locations where the wave function overlaps (to a significant degree,.e. close) the concept of motion from A to B in a linear fashion isn't necessarily true, and motion could be (in a way we might sort of understand) be B to A to C. Really it means that the concept of motion is different at the quantum level. At a classical level then you are talking about large ensembles, each with a wave function, so the statistical model means A to B does make sense.
I am not a big vacation taker, and don't have children, but I find plenty to keep myself busy, so not having kids is not a problem. I have dogs, which are very much like children, but without the expense of school uniforms. I was about to say "and without the expense of ballet classes, etc" but the dogs get agility classes, but that's a form of exercise for me too, whereas a child would not want their parents jogging around the dance studio.
You will have no body to take care of you when you're old and infirm, and without grandkids your golden years will be empty and pointless. Especially if/when one of you dies.
We are unlikely to be short of labour in that time scale as many do want to have children, and the dependency ratio in many western nations is expected to start declining from about 15 years hence. Even then, there are robots and digital assistants being developed to help with life in later years. In terms of grandchildren being required to make life fulfilled in later years, these days families are often spread so the contact time between grandparent and grandchild is often not that great anyway, so it's probably better to keep active, and seek other arrangements (such as the elderly commune concept, although something more mixed might make sense).
The only ones doing any censorship are the Left. The Right is firmly in favor of free speech. You know, Enlightenment values, the ones the Left rejected as racist and sexist.
CNN is nothing to do with the Left. It's Centrist or slightly to the right of it. And it's not about Left and Right anyway, it's about liberalism and illiberalism (in the classical sense). Many of those on the Left do not reject Enlightenment values, and some do. Ditto on the Right. I'm very much in favour of freedom of speech, yet I am not politically right wing.
If we look at the UK, then in the 1980s we had the infamous Clause 28, which the right wing government introduced, and which sought to censor speech about homosexuality, by making it an offence to promote it in some contexts. There are many examples like this from the Left and Right, and oddly, in Cuba, laws fairly similar to Clause 28 too! Of if you look at Frano Spain, or Stalinism, etc., you can see that non-acceptance of Englightenment values as little to do with Left and Right, but everything to do with power.
I am liberal, and know many who are, and that is not how I would characterise liberalism. I defend your right to say offensive things (not with my life, perhaps, as I'm a coward), provided you aren't calling for harm to be done to people. And reserve my right to argue against you.
the earth warms spectacularly quickly about once every 120-140,000 years
And we know the mechanism for it (Milankovitch cycles). But 'spectacularly quickly' in that context is about an order of magnitude slower than we've seen in the last 200 years, and currently we are in the point in the cycle during which it should be (and was) cooling. This was proposed in the 1920s, but it took until the 1960s and work on corals and ice cores to finally prove it.
Please explain how that happened.
It's anthropogenic. See above.
And then, while you're at it, please explain how whatever mechanism drove those extremes of climate back toward the Holocene Optimal wouldn't work this time.
We're not in that part of the cycle. See above.
I can't get an actual climatologist to reply.
The problem is you are claiming that something should be happening (warming due to Milankovitch) when we are in the cooling phase, so climatologists are not going to take you seriously. However, on many climate science boards, climate scientists do take the time to reiterate the relevant points if they think you genuinely don't understand and are not being obtuse.
Schizophrenia is unlikely to be even one disease, and may be a set of common or overlapping symptoms for something like seven separate illnesses. Debate and research continues.
*Nothing* prevents other schools from offering the same courses with the same quality of instruction.
Quality of instruction is only one of the benefits of attending a particular institution. So attending one elsewhere with the same quality and courses will not be as good, as it won't have the same reputation. Reputations can take decades to establish.

To me, treating people with courtesy, etc, on first meeting is default respect.
Love the sinner, abhor the sin.

If you mean respect for an ability to code, that's conditional, but respect for someone as a human being should be by default.

Non-linear doesn't preclude ordering. y=x^2 is non-linear, but y=8 does not come before y=4
Scarily Dr. Who might be correct :)

CNN isn't liberal, they're leftist.
Don't be ridiculous, CNN is centrist or centre-right on the world political spectrum.
Classic liberalism:

This comment confused me at first, as Christian Democrat, to me, has a specific meaning as a set of European political parties!

If the playing field is too far from level then you are effectively throwing away talent that could enhance the economy.

In terms of the metropolitan area for population, Newark is considered part of New York City, AFAIK.
