"26.3 percent, breaking the previous record of 25.6 percent. Although it's just a 2.7 percent increase"
Uh, what? Someone flunked elementary school math.
25.6 * 1.027 = 26.29
Lots of people flunk elementary maths... apparently.
It's from Japan; their numbers are in metric - duh.
"I'm not saying it's impossible," Hossenfelder told Gizmodo. "But I want to see some backup for this claim."
Prove we're *not* in a computer simulation. I imagine that, for any sufficiently well designed/implemented simulation, proving the case either way may be impossible. Might as well ask to prove we're all alive or that we all exist or, to quote HHGTTG, we're not all products of a deranged imagination.
How am I suppose to book a +20 hour flight to Australia while having a stroke? Not to mention tracking down this one particular spider w/o getting bitten by one of Australia's many other poisonous snakes or spiders along the way.
Happiness in the US is declining and is expected to continue on a downward path, with Donald Trump's policies forecast to deepen the country's social crisis.
Make America Grim Again - or something like that...
He could probably repeal them a little quicker if he played a little less golf or spend less time getting into twitter feuds with celebrities.
Now, now... He spends way more time (and taxpayer funds) flying back and forth to Mar-a-Lago in Florida *every* weekend, and I'm sure he gets some work done on those flights -- or, at least, catches up on nap-time.

The only reasonable improvements are in reducing the cost of manufacturing and reducing the amazingly toxic byproducts of solar cell production.
And, of course, making them Godzilla proof.

Or her husband does.
Either way, I'm sure she'll feel better about all this when she wakes up in her bed after a good night's sleep...
Dear slashdot: Please add "strike" and "underline" HTML for insert-delete mark-up. Thank you.
I'd like to underscore the need for these capabilities - oh, wait...

The first thing that comes to mind is extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.
You obviously haven't been paying attention to US current events... :-)
Ah Huh. So... What flavor of the Kool Aid is your favorite?
I thought it was to EXPLICITLY prevent the courts from obliging you to give information that may incriminate you.
The password (like a key to a safe) itself isn't self-incriminating, even if the thing it's protecting may be.
And yet the cure is available online: https://www.youtube.com/playli...
Here too.

Can we trust Comey?
Sure. Inversely proportional to how much Trump likes him.
[ (Trump Likes) x (We Trust) = Constant ]
... forcing some updates necessary for "smooth operation" to download even on these connections ...
I have several ass-related jokes queued up, but can't decide which one I like best.
China's Police Will Shoot Illegal Drones With Radio-Jamming Rifles
Wouldn't it be cheaper to shoot the drones using radio-jamming rifles?
As Benny Hill would've said: BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG deal...
I first thought that was some sort of progress bar and thought, "Cool. How'd he do *that* on /." but, sadly, there's no "I" in progress bar.
Spam has economic, legal, technical and psychological causes.
Apparently, so does Twitter ... :-)
DMARC has been around for pretty much 2 decades, if it hasn't been picked up now, it never will.
I had been around for pretty much 2 decades before I got picked up. Got married a few years later.
... if the legislation is passed, the particulars would be left up to the FAA to sort out...
The FAA reauthorization expires in 198 days.
I suspect strongly that the universe does have a clock.
Ya, but given Relativity, it can't be a reference clock, so it can't be used it with NTP. (also, I don't see The Universe in any of the header files)
... the tank rotated every few minutes on top of the 11.57 microradians/second rotation of the Earth.
Or, at least, in oscillating directions tangent to the surface of the Earth.
I suspect it's the other way around: simulations look like the universe because the simulations are confined to the universe.
Or contained within a box, including the box itself.
When did hell did Linux become a "fuck you don't touch the innards" system?
You probably meant "fuck you, don't touch the Lennart" I presume?
Let's compromise. I think we can *all* agree on: "fuck you, don't touch Lennart's innards"
It just seems longer?
Tastes like despair.
Perhaps it just needs salt.
