The first thing that Google does is assign you a customerID in JSON format in it's advertiser.JS package that is loaded for every website that uses Google statistics/advertising, which is EVERY website.
It uses that customerID to figure out exactly who you are by cookies left on your computer. You sign out of your account, those cookies are still on your computer connected to your google account.
If you have never used a specific computer and never logged in to your Google account from that computer you will get a generic customerID until Google can associate your browsing activity to a specific customerID assigned to your google account. Once the algorithm is 95% or greater positive it has the correct person, your customerID will change to the one assigned to your google account and the old customerID will become a sub-account.
But make no mistake. Google follows you and associates everything you do to you. There is no getting around hiding from google. If you do end up blocking google from getting an advertiser ID, most webpages will fail to load.
I don't understand why anyone finds this surprising. They have been doing this since day 1.
My 2000 Ford Ranger 3.0L manual transmission will this week turn over 330,000 miles on the original engine. I've replaced the clutch twice and the transmission once at 173 miles short of 300,000 miles, doing it myself.
I purchased a replacement 3.0L engine out of a 2003 Taurus with less than 30,000 miles for my Ranger when it rolled past 140,000 miles thinking that the 3.0L wouldn't make it to 150,000 miles.
To my surprise, the Ranger is still rolling fine even this morning on the original engine. I've only replaced the water pump, timing chain, radiator and spark plugs on this vehicle, for engine parts too.
If you take care of a vehicle, it will take care of you.
I ride a bicycle more than 200 miles a week during the summer and now that it is becoming winter going to attempt at least 150 miles a week until spring... https://www.strava.com/athlete...
So with this news, I'm going to start smoking and triple up on my sugar and sodium intake.
Most people forget about methane which is 10 times the greenhouse gas that CO2 is.
Riding a bicycle to work isn't as green as everyone thinks it could be. The methane that I emit being 10 times more of a greenhouse gas is about the same as driving a car to my job, especially if I have eaten Taco Bell the night before.
I live in the Boston Mass area in the 1970's and my dad's brother was into electronics. In 1976 he had assembled a large walkie-talkie from a Heath Kit that switched between 427MHz and 435Mhz with a mechanical switch that had 7 different frequencies. It had a keypad on the bottom of it that would dial a phone number if you had switched to a band not in use and pressed the key button. It used repeaters all throughout the Boston area. He would come over to our house and show my mom and dad how it worked. I had thought my uncle was magical.
It was kind of a weird device because you could switch to a band in use and listen to the entire conversation. Every time by uncle would come over I would ask if I could listen in on it. He would let me listen for about 2 minutes and then turn it off.
In 1977 we moved to Atlanta Georgia and my uncle had given me this walkie-talkie device because he said that it was too expensive to operate any more. My uncle was also leaving the Boston area and probably had no use for it also. I still have this device today. I used to power it up just to scan the frequencies. I used to go driving around with it well after high school in the middle to late 1980's and noticed that stores like Kmart, Book Nook and even Radio Shack were using the frequencies in their stores. In the early 1990s I went to work for a warehouse company that used a band of this cellphone like walkie-talkie to talk to all the different warehouses in the state of Georgia. It worked for listening to the conversation but I couldn't talk back as I believed it used a different frequency to transmit on.
So in 1976 there was a limited use commercial cell phone like service in Boston Mass, except it wasn't using cell phones. Who the company was I have no idea. I have no idea how long before 1976 it was in existence too. It could have been several years for all I knew.

You beat me to the punch. I also remember watching this on mythbusters and duplicating it walking down the hall of the company that I worked for 10 years ago, to see if it would set off the alarm at night.
The whole premise of funny is mistaking one context for another. That is why comics are so funny. Funny is built on multiple contexts where the least intelligent context made is the funniest. Why because we like to laugh at stupid people and find stupid people very funny.
As the summary states, "I'm going to eat this with my friend" Most people with an average intelligence would assume that you are going to share what ever you are eating with another person. A less intelligent person would question "Why are you going to eat your friend too?" it is funny because it isn't the typical intelligent thought and the less intelligent person who can't make the connection wonders why you are eating your friend.
Comics are masters of pointing out the least intelligent response. I figured that out a while ago and most people now consider me funny for more than my looks. But teaching a computer the lest intelligent response to a connection is going to be difficult because you will need to have thousands of not hundreds of thousands of connection points to base a decision what response is the least intelligent. That can only be learned from decades of connection points.
All algorithms trying to find an answer to this problem will have this problem. If someone does find an answer to the best possible connection, switching the algorithm to the worst possible connection will have the funniest algorithm in the world.
You are missing something here, the producing, packaging and selling of fossil fuel isn't causing global warming. It is the customers use that is causing global warming. Should Chevy, Dodge, Ford, Nissan and Toyota be also held responsible? No the person driving the car and purchasing the oil should be held responsible.
I don't see a single person that is bitching and complaining about global warming doing anything about it. Me, I don't bitch and complain at all about global warming, yet I will ride a bicycle this year twice as far as I will have driven a vehicle. I have commuted to work every day since the beginning of May, except for 2 days because of rain. I'm on course for hitting 6,000 miles on a bicycle this year.
I got notification last Friday that Solar City has accepted my application for a solar roof. Further cutting my dependence on burning natural gas for electricity.
What have you done??? Nothing???? Quit Bitching and Complaining.
If you do any science to prove that humans are causing global warming, you are going to find causes that prove humans are causing global. If you are interested in finding ghosts, you are eventually are going to find evidence that ghosts exist, especially if you are being paid loads of money to find ghosts.
Sure humans are contributing to increased CO2 in the atmosphere by burning fossil fuel. Which one of these people pushing their agenda on global warming have stopped burning fossil fuel. I would fathom a guess, none of them. I can't prove my guess as it is only a guess. But looking at everyone's reliance on fossil fuel, I would say pretty accurate. I on the other hand have reduced my burning of fossil fuel in at least in transportation to almost nothing. Here is proof... https://www.strava.com/athlete...
I still burn natural gas to heat my home in the winter and burn natural gas to heat water all year long.
If there wants to be 100% proof that humans are the cause of 100% of the global warming recorded, you would have to study 100% of the causes of global warming and that isn't being done. Only a small fraction of the causes at this time are being studied. I do agree that humans are contributing to it, thus my drastically reducing my footprint when NOBODY else is doing it. But I do believe that the human contribution to global warming is small compared to all the other contributing factors, known and unknown at this time, are not worth the time and energy being spent trying to prove humans are the cause of everything.
If you want to do something about it... Show us how much you have reduced your burning of fossil fuel. Talk it cheap.
You are an absolute miracle. I ride with pro riders that ride everyday that can't ride almost 100 miles a day for 6 days in a row. That is almost 600 miles in a week. Yet, you are too lazy to prep for months, but not too lazy to go out and ride for near 600 miles in 6 days.
There is no rider out there that would ride like that that didn't have a carbon fiber bicycle costing upwards of $5,000. Unless you are riding every day you are not going to spend that kind of money for it to be sitting in a garage somewhere collecting dust.
There is no rider riding like that, that doesn't log their rides using a GPS. So, unless you provide a link to a website where you are uploading your rides, I'm calling Utter bullshit again on your riding.
And if you are not logging your rides, you should ride the Tour de France next year because even though every rider in the Tour de France rides every consecutive day of the year, I bet with your BMI of 30% you could easily lay waste to them with riding like that what you speak of. And they probably have a BMI of around 2 - 3% and you still could easily make fun of them all..
If you look at my National Bike Challenge page here... https://nationalbikechallenge.... you can see as of today, I have ridden 176 consecutive days in a row for an average of 19.7665342 miles a day. If I went out and rode 100 miles tomorrow, there would be no way that I would be able to ride for the next several days. You are so super human, it is amazing.
So, once again, I am calling Utter Bullshit on you. There is no way that you can carry that much fat and do what you speak of. I had my BMI measured professionally earlier this year and I came in at 14%. There is no way for me to do what you say that you do.
Technically you are correct. But, then again very few people can ride what is known as a Century ride(100 miles) or even a metric century(100Km/62 miles). I've only done it twice in my life. Here is the last time that I did it... https://connect.garmin.com/mod... and it was part of this group... http://www.cyclenittygritty.or... that does the ride only once a year... http://www.cyclenittygritty.or...
There is a reason why they do it only once a year. You need to be in great shape to ride that distance. There is no possible way to ride 100 miles if you only ride once a month. You have to condition yourself to be able to go that distance. You would need to be steadily riding about 50 to 70 miles a week for a few months to ride that 100 miles in one day.
That conditioning to get into bike shape as they call it would melt fat off you real quick. I lost 10 pounds of fat in 3 months with me only riding 0.25 of a mile a day and I wasn't really trying.
So yea, you are correct, but I still call bullshit to carry that much weight and be able to ride 100 miles regularly, if only once a month or once a year. Either he is lying about his BMI or he is lying about the distance he rides. Well, unless the 70 to 110 miles is all down hill.
I'm calling bullshit on you. There is 0% chance that you are carrying that much weight and riding 70 - 110 miles in a day. ZERO. I'm 6' 1" and when my doctor told me I needed blood pressure medication because of my weight and was possibly going to have a heart attack in 6 months, I told him I was going to do something about my weight, I was 215 at the time. So I decided to scratch the rust of the bicycle I had hanging in my garage for the last 10 years with out being touched.
The best that I could do was 0.1 of a mile a day. It took me 3 months to ride more than 0.2 of a mile from when I started. and I was only pushing 23% BMI. It took me years to rid more than 10 miles in a day.
Here are pictures of the weight loss in the first 4 months of riding to work every day only about 11 miles a day... http://wiki.xkcd.com/geohashin...
I now ride 5,000+ miles a year... https://www.strava.com/athlete... and can only average about 20 miles a day not 70 - 110 miles. I also out ride the pro's at the bicycle shops, and don't ever gain weight.
I eat all my coworkers under the table. They are amazed how much I eat and maintain ~180 lbs. If you are regularly riding 70 - 110 miles and not around 140 - 150 lbs., I'm calling serious bullshit on you.
There is no possible way you can be overweight and ride that much. None.
Cats have the intelligents of about a 2 year old. They have the ability to understand sounds but not really words. For my cat, I can call out a bunch of different names, but she will only come if I call out her name. This is only when she is upstairs and I am downstairs on the couch. It works most of the time when I'm inside and she is outside. So, they have the ability to not only learn sounds but associate that sound to themselves and understand that sound as a concept of a name.
Now other cats are not going to name themselves or have a translation of a human sound name into a feline sound name. It isn't like my cat goes around the neighborhood meowing to other cats what her name is. So, any device that claims to change my spoken word for a name into cat meow's is delusional. Any recorded sound of another cat, will easily be determined by the cat that the sound is not coming from me and will be ignored much like playing cat videos on the tv. It would just be confusing to the cat as why am I making this device make the sound of someone squeezing it's tail?
If you really want to know what it would be like for the cat, try communicating with another person that does not speak your language. Every bit of communication would become non-verbal. Humans have been communicating non-verbally for 100,000's of years before the creation of spoken word. We had to or the human race would not have been able to pro-create. How did we communicate to women that we were in the mood or wanted one of them to make us a sandwich?
Much of our communication today is still non-verbal, as with most other animals. Trying to make non-verbal communication verbal when there has never been any verbal communication before is just insane.
When my cat is hungry, she will go sit by the food bowl. When she want out, she will go sit by the door. When nature calls for her, she will run around in my feet or come jump on my lap and then run towards the door. No, meow's needed. My cat doesn't like to use the cat box.
So, no, a communication device will not be possible. Your cat or dog will learn your non-verbal communication.
If you have spent years trying to build your reputation here, the first time you mention something that goes against the norm, you can get 10 AC shouting you down telling you how ignorant and stupid you are and you need to go read a book, and don't come back till you learn something
Moderators that don't know what they are reading moderate based on other comments and you karma goes to zero and your points go to -1 fast.
I am not a physicist, I don't even play one on TV and I've never stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. In all actuality I only have a high school degree.
One day this all just made sense to me.
In your example you have one hydrogen atom exchanging energy with the rest of the hydrogen atoms. That doesn't happen. All hydrogen atoms exchange energy with all hydrogen atoms.
If I take a lump of iron and heat it to 300 degrees F and place it in a vacuum with another equal size lump of iron at 100 degrees F, the two will eventually meet half way at 200 degrees F with some small measurable loss so as to be less than 200 degrees F. From there the temperature of both the lumps of iron should decrease in equal amounts to room temperature. Following entropy and no more outside infrared energy, both lumps should eventually reach near absolute zero.
If I place two identical glasses on a table and tap one of them with a spoon, that one glass will vibrate. The opposing glass having the same harmonic will start vibrating at the same frequency absorbing some of the energy of the glass tapped with the spoon.
The vibration of the 2 glasses will last slightly longer than had there been only one glass on the table. Now fill the table full of identical glasses and tap only one of the glasses. For some small amount of time all glasses will vibrate. How can some small amount of energy make all glasses vibrate?
Same with hydrogen. Now throw in the fact that hydrogen fuses to helium giving off two neutrons and almost twice the infrared energy and the process can continue for near forever.
So getting back to your question, a 1eV photon doesn't need to maintain the existence of a 1000 MeV proton, it only needs to maintain the spin so the spin doesn't decrease.
If I spin up a 1000lb flywheel, it takes an incredible amount of energy to get it spinning. But once it is spinning at a certain speed, I could probably keep it spinning at that speed by only using my hands.
Black hole are still mass. There is plenty of mass there. If you ever take a trip to one, you are eventually going to do a face plant into that mass, you don't fall through or make it to some other dimension.
Yea, yea, I'm a dumbass with only a high school diploma so what do I know and go ahead and shout me down.

Any recorded sound of another cat, will easily be determined by the cat that the sound is not coming from me and will be ignored much like playing cat videos on the tv. It would just be confusing to the cat as why am I making this device make the sound of someone squeezing it's tail?
If you really want to know what it would be like for the cat, try communicating with another person that does not speak your language. Every bit of communication would become non-verbal. Humans have been communicating non-verbally for 100,000's of years before the creation of spoken word. We had to or the human race would not have been able to pro-create. How did we communicate to women that we were in the mood or wanted one of them to make us a sandwich?
Much of our communication today is still non-verbal, as with most other animals. Trying to make non-verbal communication verbal when there has never been any verbal communication before is just insane.
When my cat is hungry, she will go sit by the food bowl. When she want out, she will go sit by the door. When nature calls for her, she will run around in my feet or come jump on my lap and then run towards the door. No, meow's needed. My cat doesn't like to use the cat box.
So, no, a communication device will not be possible. Your cat or dog will learn your non-verbal communication.
If you have spent years trying to build your reputation here, the first time you mention something that goes against the norm, you can get 10 AC shouting you down telling you how ignorant and stupid you are and you need to go read a book, and don't come back till you learn something
Moderators that don't know what they are reading moderate based on other comments and you karma goes to zero and your points go to -1 fast.
Why risk that any more?
Infrared energy is a very small range of the electromagnetic frequency range.
When a proton decays to energy more than likely it is giving off energy in the gamma frequency range.
I hope you know the difference.
Hi Mr anonymous.
I am not a physicist, I don't even play one on TV and I've never stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. In all actuality I only have a high school degree.
One day this all just made sense to me.
In your example you have one hydrogen atom exchanging energy with the rest of the hydrogen atoms. That doesn't happen. All hydrogen atoms exchange energy with all hydrogen atoms.
If I take a lump of iron and heat it to 300 degrees F and place it in a vacuum with another equal size lump of iron at 100 degrees F, the two will eventually meet half way at 200 degrees F with some small measurable loss so as to be less than 200 degrees F. From there the temperature of both the lumps of iron should decrease in equal amounts to room temperature. Following entropy and no more outside infrared energy, both lumps should eventually reach near absolute zero.
If I place two identical glasses on a table and tap one of them with a spoon, that one glass will vibrate. The opposing glass having the same harmonic will start vibrating at the same frequency absorbing some of the energy of the glass tapped with the spoon.
The vibration of the 2 glasses will last slightly longer than had there been only one glass on the table. Now fill the table full of identical glasses and tap only one of the glasses. For some small amount of time all glasses will vibrate. How can some small amount of energy make all glasses vibrate?
Same with hydrogen. Now throw in the fact that hydrogen fuses to helium giving off two neutrons and almost twice the infrared energy and the process can continue for near forever.
So getting back to your question, a 1eV photon doesn't need to maintain the existence of a 1000 MeV proton, it only needs to maintain the spin so the spin doesn't decrease.
If I spin up a 1000lb flywheel, it takes an incredible amount of energy to get it spinning. But once it is spinning at a certain speed, I could probably keep it spinning at that speed by only using my hands.
Black hole are still mass. There is plenty of mass there. If you ever take a trip to one, you are eventually going to do a face plant into that mass, you don't fall through or make it to some other dimension.
Yea, yea, I'm a dumbass with only a high school diploma so what do I know and go ahead and shout me down.
