So, can we just remove some bone marrow stem cells from someone, snip in the CCR5 Gene and, put the stem cells back in to cure HIV? This is very interesting as it is a medical procedure that would not need FDA Approval, and would have a huge impact on the bottom line of many drug companies. I'm getting some popcorn. to see hwo this plays out.
So no star was named. Relativitiy has a 100% failure rate for describing 99.99999% of the cosmos. (basically anything not sitting within 5 AU of the earth)
All I'm saying is that precludes it from being celebrated as a foundational theory of the cosmos that is revered for it's accuracy.
That is in no way to take away from the discovery of the theory of time dilation.
I wonder though, how exactly do you use relativity for calculating GPS? I use GIS a lot.
As far as the Lorentz transformation used to calculate time dilation in the case you are working in with these GPS Satellites, I went through the math about 10 years ago and I'm not sure the equations are saying exactly what everybody thinks they are saying. As far as implications on objects at different speeds. Just because you have not experienced the wave from an object yet does not mean that causality occurs wehn you feel it. They've got causality wrong there.
From what I can see it does predict planetary orbits correctly. It's the whole rest of the cosmos it is inaccurate about. The bottom line -the whole reason for dark matter- is that relativity is incapable of predicting something as simple as the rotation of a star about it's galactic center. If the model of relativity is incapable of predicting the motions of any stars or galaxies then it is not serving well or accurately. How can you say there is trust in a theory that is 100% wrong all of the time? If you trust relativity, can you name any stars whose motions it predicts accurately? I challenge you to name any star that relativity can predict accurately and does not involve the inclusion of invisible stuff into the equation. If your invisible stuff is 96% of the universe then your shit is just wrong bro. You are the one that believes in space weasels.
How is it my responsibility to explain the error of someone else's theory? The theory IS a theory of gravity. It does not explain ANY orbits of any stars accurately. YOU can call the discrepency "predictable" but that does not mean it is not there. Simply noting that the theory is incorrect DOES NOT EQUAL me saying space weasels exist. Physicists are the ones point at the invisible shit to explain the 'discrepency'.
yes, relativity reigns supreme. Other than not being able to predict the orbits of any stars or galaxies correctly. Look at all this invisible shit over there -> DARK MATTER MAKES MY CALCULATIONS CORRECT!
To be fair normal physics does not describe gravity correctly either. That is why we invented Dark Matter. At least quantum physics hasn't been giving wrong answers for 100 years.
It's pretty easy to wash bitcoins. I'm thinking this person did not do that. Since they did not actually purchase the bitcoins, there is no tie to them on the blockchain. Send the bitcoins anonymous online converter and convert the bitcions to ethereum, I ran through the process once just to see how it worked, but can't remember the name of the service at the moment. They are out there though. They generate a temporary wallet then send the coins back to you on a wallet you provide, which you then never have to use again. Then convert the ethereum (or litecoin, whatever) to Monero. After that use a separate online converter to convert your Monero back to bitcoin. Transfer the bitcoins to a hardware wallet. At that point you have generally removed all blockchain connections. You want to do all of this on new virgin equipment and networks not connected to you in any way. I'm way more interested in how the bitcoins were obtained in the first place. How can you access a coinbase or similar account with someone's phone number?
Got sucked into Pittsburgh during the great recession. First time I heard of an Uber self driving car, I saw it drive by me. Read about it on the internet a week later. It's not just the tech startups either, there are some large legacy sites like the BAE campus that is hiring all kind of talent, and the pressure on the shale gas / oil industry has forced them to automate the shit out of everything in order to compete with the OPEC export cuts. Which have failed. LOL They tried to out capitalism the USA.
best way to build a moon base is to bore into the side of a crater that is perpetually sunlit at on of the poles of the moon. Solar panels + boring machine = moon base. For those of you who think this is just to alleviate los angeles traffic -- this is why you are not a billionaire like elon musk.
Remember when Michael Dell said Apple should just distribute it's remaining cash and put apple out of it's misery since everyone was using Windows now?
To you, the douchebag that said use password manager or your will be hacked. I have been using the same formula for generating passwords for almost 2 decades and I have not had any issues. Enjoy your increased threat level by using additional software to store your password. You almost convinced me.
A little under $22 dollars an hour is what the minimum wage was in 1968 when adjusted for inflation and increases in productivity http://cepr.net/documents/publ... So to increase beyond what was in the 1960s we would have to go up higher than that.
I have never met anybody that thinks we should give unlimited amounts of money to colleges and health insurance companies. Restoring the ability of people to get a job they can support themselves with via government provided education as it was during the entirety of the 20th century seemed to be very successful. Most people on the left think we should eliminate health insurance companies entirely.
From my experience this happens at almost every office. I've stopped leaving because of it as you'll never get stability. It's probably tougher from a strict coding perspective, but for me I work in an engineering office and we do a lot of cad design and gis. Since the GIS is a separate set of skills I just moved to a task that the people gaslighting me could not understand and excelled at it. At which point, you can just wait them out and refuse to let them gain legitimacy by them instructing you on the 'proper' way of doing things in order to claim that your skill is because of their ability to teach you. It's actually really fun to totally ignore the gaslighter and then excel at your job. When they go to management and claim your failure point it out as them not understanding what you are doing. When they try to look over your shoulder at your screen to teach you, stop working and look at them and converse about things not related to work in a charming positive way that makes them laugh. Wait for the deadlines to come in and them get distracted then do your thing better than them for lower budget. Make yourself useful to management while smiling at them, ignoring them, and don't do what they say while agreeing to their face. Keep a positive attitude, realize that they are sad individuals with less skill that need to use intrigue to promote themselves and advanced your skill set in a way that makes it obviouse to everyone in the office that you are far superior to them and they are just pushing their weight around in order t compensate for their own inadequacies.
The article mentions hidden dimensions and other universes in the same sentence. This is a pet peeve of mine. In Multi-dimensional quantum mechanics the dimensions are additional directions. They are not other universes and the combination of the two in one sentence is either intentinally muddying the water, or the person writing the article is not familiar with the mathematics involved and should not be taken seriously. The standard Cartesian coordinate system used to describe our universe in it's basic sense contains x.y, and z, directions, a set of values that many of the programmers on Slashdot are familiar with. Multi-dimensional physics just adds more of these in an attempt to explain the very real observable quantum effects that Newtonian physics and relativity cannot explain and never will. We currently know more about the Andromeda galaxy than the Milky Way because it is difficult to describe an object when you are inside it. Getting a third person look at the universe, even if it is just a mathematical trick, is probably the easiest way to describe it. The refusal to do so is probably not going to go very far. What the emergence of time means is also not what they are describing it to be and should not be looked upon as a valid argument. In a holographic quantum view of the universe it could be considered similar to a wave propagating through a substrate, but also be akin to a temporary chemical reaction wave, where the structure of the substrate is momentarily changed while the wave propagates through. This temporary excitation of the substrate generates the universe we live in. The movement of the universe's propagation is in the direction of time. My take on the hidden dimensions is that instead of viewing them as hidden, we should look at them as directions in which the particles we are made of have a zero width. The reason we cannot travel in time is not because the directions don't exist, it's because the particles we are made of have a zero width in that direction. We would have to be made of something else, and when we went backwards in time we would effect leave our current universe. Other particles, such as the elemental particle of gravity have a non-zero width in one of these direction. What we should really be talking about is the fact that relativity CANNOT describe the orbital trajectories of any stars accurately. The lack of a theory to accurately explain a basic observable fact is more problematic than the inability of technology to currently test the most advanced physics problems. Once our ability to manipulate quantum effects (such as the creation of a working quantum super computer - looking at you google) and we can create technology that is based on quantum mechanics then maybe we will be able to test the theories. Second failure of current theory that I don't think is spoken of enough is the failure of the planck observatory to detect the effects of gravitational waves on the cosmic microwave background. There were several stories about the waves being detected but second looks at the data supporting this cast serious doubt. Since we have now confirmed the existence of gravitational waves and their effects have not been observed as inflation predicts, then the current theory of the big bang they reference at the beginning of the article (we can describe the universe up to a bit before it's creation) is in fact not supported by current experiments and should be rethought. Instead of taking a step back from quantum mechanics we need to take a second look at the non quantum component of physics as it is currently not supported by current data.
I think we should allow and encourage bringing back GNAA first post competitions and give trophies / toys to the person who gets first post every year.
I've got a packard bell pentium 133 that still works but I rarely use it now that I have dosbox. The hard drive on my 486DX66 mhz laptop with a black and white screen bit the dust about 6 years ago but it will still boot up off floppies.

We are just trying to get you to catch up. It's a bit like having a whole bunch of blind people running around claiming that light doesn't exist.

I'd recommend Crusader Kings 2. It's not exactly turn based but its pretty close, and if you like the old strategy games you may like this.

The "History of english" podcast is very informative. I like it a lot better than Hardcore History as it comes from a completely different data set.
