Well, if you get a small enough ruler you will already disprove quantum physics. No need to use it for anything.

Anything bellow 25 should require space heaters and the option to wear a blanket.

Anyway, hello from Brazil. Yes, YMMV.

Is it just another kind of tree?

N-Villany!

But now, he nerd-snipped Spider-Man, he changed the outcome of the experiment by explaining it. Green Goblin didn’t even see any need to intervene, he’s only trolling.

But doesn’t E=mc² teach us that mass and energy are somewhat interchangeable?

There are two ways to read that equation. Either you use the instant mass, that changes with the object’s speed and has an undefined result for anything moving at the speed of light (this is the one Einstein wrote in awe about), or you use the rest mass and that’s the half of the equation that doesn’t consider the object’s speed (this is the one everybody actually uses).

On the second case, the complete equation is E² = (mc²)² + (pc)² where p is the momentum.

Videogame cities are all dead and creepy… I can’t imagine what anybody finds beautiful about them.

Of course, they are this way because they are literally designed, by a tiny number of people, and with sole focus on the player. But still, no idea why anybody can think they are beautiful.

The sequels aren’t.

And tomorrow is Corpus Christi, I hope most of you here have it as a day off.

FAFO

They clearly need more tags.

But another one was made, and given to a research lab as a secret…

What are you talking about?

It looks like a bright dot. Or a dark one if you are photographing it.

Non-coding architects has been a well known organizational red-flag for decades.

Non-coding people always lose track of reality, and it’s a disaster to give them decision power over fine-grained technical choices.

Now, I don’t really know how that maps into non-coding software developers, but I’m not optimist.

Well. On the other hand, Trump can also decide to attack them, what will completely change their current situation of being attacked by him.

So… Aggressivity always escalates if people interact at random without a cooling period?

That’s quite a hypothesis. Seems realistic. I wonder if anybody tested it.

It’s deeper than that.

People have been doing this since cars became fast. There’s something in our brains that automatically turns driving into a battle.

I doubt even 10% of the scientists can tell a human embryo apart from a dolphin.

I really expect nobody from the physics, math, social sciences, history, geology, or almost every other department to do it.

Without your bad rephrasing:

1 - “The cult of tradition” - At no point he gives any shit to tradition

2 - “The rejection of modernism” - That’s partial at best, and partial hits do not count on that scale

3 - “The cult of action for action’s sake” - Yes

4 - “Disagreement is treason” - Absolutely not

5 - “Fear of difference” - Dude, how the fuck did you claim he hits that one? Absolutely not

6 - “Appeal to a frustrated middle class” - Yes

7 - “Obsession with a plot” - Yes

8 - cast their enemies as “at the same time too strong and too weak” - Their enemies are never strong

9 - “Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy” - Absolutely not

10 - “Contempt for the weak” - Absolutely not

11 - “Everybody is educated to become a hero” - Yes

12 - “Machismo” - Yes

13 - “Selective populism” - Yes

14 - “Newspeak” - No

Anyway, it’s complete bullshit to just list those criteria like they are a checklist. I’ve listed them here just to show that even that bullshit argument is bullshit by its own standards.

Are you claiming that fascists don’t need to be authoritarian? It’s not on the list, by the way.

He’s not a good person’s identity, by any means. But he’s not fascist.

That’s all that math is about.

I’m reserving my judgment until after 2038. But yes, everything looks much better this century.
