No, there's no (experimentally supported) theory that would work at all with an object going faster than light. It just isn't in the geometry - asking for a hyperbolic rotation that stretches your motion's vector past c is like trying to turn an apple around in your hand in a way that makes it twice as big.

What they're doing here is based on the fact that you can make light move at under c if you force it to travel through a dielectric material. The c in E=mc^2 is the speed of light in a vacuum: not necessarily through a carefully designed atomic obstacle course.
You know what this is? This is an attempt to cover their asses for forcing G+ that nobody wanted. I refused to ever signup for Google Plus and was excluded from Hangouts for a longtime and thus even though hangouts supported Google Voice MMS sending and receiving, that could only be done in hangouts which could only be accessed via a G+ account. That restriction was lifted and now they're bringing features they were witholding for G+ signups to GVoice b/c nobody likes G+.

Edit update:
This is similar to forcing sign in on maps (via dark ux) and search (for cross device attribution, ie squeezing more $ out of you, not providing a better service).
Perhaps because the concept of a cloud keychain is just too tempting for exploits?

That's a lie. You implied that firing people (ending the relationship) is violation of the worker's rights:

>And with this awesome nugget of sterling wrongness, we learn that the bubble in which you live apparently excludes the hundreds and hundreds of towns across this country that have become chained-shut, fentanyl-addicted hellholes precisely because the town's main employer and tax base ended the relationship -- usually in order to hire overseas children for pennies instead.

Typical inflammatory emotional-button-pressing demagoguery that appeals to narcissistic and emotionally fragile children who want to be edgy.

More edgy garbage touted by angsty teenagers:

>For example, here's a very small sampling of daily, real authoritarian tyranny that libertarians are perfectly fine with, along with the commonly given justifications: employers drug testing employees (just get another job!), making and selling military equipment for cops to use (herp derp markets!), private profit in markets with inelastic demand such as health insurance (all people are islands with no interest in the health of neighbors nor in their bankruptcies!), industrial pollution (just move somewhere else!), racial, gender or age discrimination at a place of business (freedom of association!), heightened tax burden for communities thanks to tax dodging by the communities' businesses (taxation is theft!) and on and on and on.

I'll just address the first one as I don't have time to deconstruct the entire idiotic spiel.

Employers drug testing employees violates no one's rights. I offer you a job and say that one condition of you keeping the job is being drug tested, and you in your childish arrogance think that you have a right to punish me for making that offer, based on the lie that the OFFER somehow violates your rights.

Again: your ideology is for emotionally fragile children who can't take responsibility for themselves and think they are entitled to work for another party under terms that the other party does not agree to, and moreover you think you're entitled to be safe from "tyrranical" OFFERS, because you lack the autonomy to simply turn offers that are not in your interest down. In other words you think you're entitled to other people's wealth and not capable of making choices for yourself. Typical selfish thoughtless socialist garbage that tries to cloak your desire to plunder others under a cloak of you being a helpless victim.
Rolex goes a step beyond COSC with their Superlative Chronometer certification. While I hate they splash it all over the dial, 100% of the movements they make are certified to +2/-2 seconds per day. That even includes the new Air King, which historically hasn't been chronometer certified and why it was always the lowest cost Rolex.

Even the Tudor in house movements are being COSC certified now. Tudor has always used the highest grade ETA movements which can be COSC certified but never bothered to. Now the new movements they are making themselves are going in for testing.

Mechanical watches will never be as accurate as a good quartz watch, that is an indisputable fact. On the other hand, telling the time with nothing but springs and gears has an analogue magic that delights me every time I wear one of my mechanical watches. When I spend the day surrounded by integrated circuits and batteries it's really relaxing to have something nearby that is disconnected and simple.
Browser integration is one of the major security gains of using a password manager.

It takes passwords and makes them "unphishable", because the manager knows what domain you're on.

Of course it's also the largest attack surface. Personally, I think that tradeoff is worth it - assuming competent development.
It's easy to accept this when you realize that nobody has even managed to make a generally useful voice assistant yet, how ludicrous the "close to self driving" claim is.

Those few are actually in the order of hundreds of thousands if not millions. You are talking about a 173 million people country.

If only 1% of 173 million had a western-like middle-class+ purchasing power, that gives you? 1.73 million. A lot of people you can do business with. Like 4x that of Luxembourg.
Nope. They're different tools. They do different things.

I find paper keeps me sane in a hyper-multi-tasked distraction heavy over-Slacked world. What made it work was an idea I borrowed from Bullet Journal -- every task needs gets finished, copied to the current timeframe, or deliberately abandoned.

You could easily do this in a text file or notetaking app, I just spend so much time staring at screens that it's refreshing to have a tool that isn't one.
What? This article is talking about level 5 autonomy. AKA, "works literally everywhere and all the time".

"Sure, but NIMBYism is in direct opposition to a more socially equitable and environmentally sustainable future."

I hate to nitpick, but ...

NIMBY is a general term that refers to preserving a particular, entrenched environment.

So yes, San Francisco NIMBYism in early 21st century does seem to be in opposition to increasing environmental sustainability. I'm sure there are plenty of NIMBY environments around the world that don't fit that mold, though.

The socially equitable part is more of a reach, however.

Nobody has a gun to their head forcing them to live in San Francisco and likewise, nobody[1] is starving in San Francisco. John Smith who bought a home in SF in the early 80s and is retired on his post office pension and social security shouldn't be redistributing his wealth to anyone.

[1] That is to say, nobody that isn't mentally ill or detached from reality.
Making it easy for young women to get good sex education and contraceptives is easily one of the best investments the U.S. government could make. Every time a society has tried it, it has produced good results across the board: reductions in teen pregnancies, abortions, and venereal disease, and improved educational outcomes and economic growth.

And best of all, it is moral to permit human beings to make their own choices about their own bodies.

Unfortunately, the incoming administration and Congress have collectively said some pretty dumb things, and tried to pass some pretty dumb laws, against these ideas.

There are also potentially government issues related to race and ethnicity and sexual orientation and gender, and I think a lot of people marched with those in mind too.

The fundamental question of the Trump presidency is: who is going to own the narrative? Who gets to decide what is true, what is real, what matters, and what the government should do or not do?

The purpose of a mass protest is to seize the narrative, or at least to demonstrate that Trump does not own it. The larger the gathering, the greater its demonstrative power. Each person who decides to go knows that they are individually only a tiny little drop, metaphorically. But they hope to help make a big flood.

Most of Congress is up for re-election in 2018. The President is up for re-election in 2020. Contrary to popular belief, politicians (including Trump) do care a lot about what people think, and they will change, moderate, or slow their efforts if they get the sense that they'll lose an election over it.

This strategy is not new or unique. Republicans used it to great effect in 2009-2010, killing the public option out of Obamacare, and blocking the cap-and-trade global warming bill--even though the Democrats held the White House and Congress.
If you wanna check and see if Google Ads are live, search "windows support". There's always scam vendors in the ads there, and Google never does anything about them. Part of their business model to push Chromebooks. :)

As the case is, "windows support" still has three malicious ads up top, but the YouTube ad from earlier is gone, and it looks like they fixed the Amazon one, AFAICT.

This entire ordeal would have been so much less impactful to both Samsung and the end users if they simply went down the old and proven replaceable battery route. Not to mention it'd very likely be much more economical and eco-friendly from overall end-to-end perspective. It has consumed the time and resources they could have otherwise devoted to innovating for next generation of the phone lines.

All they needed to sacrifice is about ~1mm of phone thickness...
And Facebook!
I agree with your take. This should absolutely be taken more seriously. At the very least this site is a scam site, and it seems possible that it is even more nefarious. Google ads are supposed to be very credible, unlike the Wild West of some ad networks.

Yeah, the ads for windows support show up, however they all actually link to where the add says they do. In the case of the youtube and amazon ones today, the add link showed amazon.com and youtube.com respectively, but didn't go to either.
I think that this might be related to the "patent exhaustion" argument being put forth also by the EFF towards Lexmark's case against a cartridge refilling company. Essentially the idea of patent exhaustion is that a product, once sold, has paid it's patent holder for their invention and so there aren't any further rights or protections to be conferred. With that argument, the EFF claims that "Impressions v Lexmark" was incorrectly ruled by a lower court in favor of Lexmark.[1]
[1] Impressions bought quantities of used Lexmark cartridges, refilled them and resold them.
Y'know, that's a good point. Flow of traffic on several highways around here is 15mph above the speed limit. People are going to hate self driving cars on those unless the speed limit goes up. Maneuvers to avoid or pass them may well make the highways more dangerous, while human drivers are still in the majority.
so defunding it is symbolic at best

competitors can exist, and I'm assuming might already?
I'd contest the claim that "Google ads are very credible", they ship a lot of malware. But the key point is that that green URL bar NEEDS to be accurate. If it says http://www.amazon.com in the green text next to the Ad marker, it absolutely had better go to amazon.com.

I did a brief search of DUI penalties around the world, and it really does seem like the penalty is light everywhere.

After losing a friend to a DUI driver, I see DUI as being on the order of a manslaughter. I don't want the 12.5 years in jail that a first offense manslaughter charge carries, but the first offense of a 1 year license suspension seems far too light, and the repeat offense terms are egregiously light.

Hopefully this new process's product can help alleviate some of the issues faced by burn victims.

When I was a small child I was run over by a car and severely burned (by the catalytic converter). I had to have multiple skin grafts, one fairly large.

At the time (1987), a temporary measure was to graft pig's skin over the burn. This is apparently still done today, but this new process's product (and others) could conceivably be used instead.

After the temporary graft I got autografts, which involves cutting skin off an un-burned area and applying it to a burned area. This was pretty painful†, and I wound up with a bad infection on the donor site.

The grafts have been fine ever since, but they're pretty unsightly (thankfully my clothes cover them). I also have the scar from the donor site (worsened by the infection). The artificial skin produced by these new printers will hopefully prevent some of these issues.

† I have memories of hurting from this, but I was only 1.5 years old, so I'm not sure if they're really memories or interpolations of things I've been told.
> The mean overrun by project type goes solar < wind < thermal (fossil) < nuclear < hydroelectric. That's basically the same ordering as "minimum viable project size."

Relatedly, MIT Prof. Dennis Whyte argues that this is a/the key friction for the development of fusion power in this excellent semi-popular talk

https://youtu.be/KkpqA8yG9T4

In particular, he thinks the latest generation of superconducting magnets will lower the minimum-viable size of fusion power plants, which will have a big impact on the feasibility of them being built by human institutions even if their raw numbers on paper are comparable to older style tokamaks.
Okay, that sounds like a user experience problem, of which federal funding has nothing to do with?

OMG that video. I thought people learned their lesson after the FL man's death. The culture is even worse now!

Cars led to more deaths than people had on horseback. I'm starting to feel autonomous vehicles will be the same sort of innovation. More elderly/younger people could use them, and ultimately more deaths will result as people's carelessness increases.

Tesla is still cashing in while resisting safety features like requiring hands on the wheel. Meanwhile, accidents like the death in Hong Kong go mostly unnoticed in the US.

"What is the a good city now for mid-income childless ? More fun activities, concerts ect and low taxes that go to roads and public transport and not schools, parks and libraries."

Maybe Denver ?

Colorado has relatively low tax rates and Denver is sort-of-kind-of-almost a real, functional big city downtown.

If you're at all inclined towards weekend-outdoorsy things, it might be a good choice.

Personally, if I had to choose a city besides San Francisco (where I live) I would choose Minneapolis, but it's not for everyone (and MN taxes are relatively high).
the 'tech industry' is now. the gold speculators were then. the city could have just as easily become a carcass of the industrial era like many others.
> level 4 really is right around the corner

I disagree. Level 4 does not require driver attention. That is still a long way off.

From Wikipedia [1]:

Level 4: The automated system can control the vehicle in all but a few environments such as severe weather. The driver must enable the automated system only when it is safe to do so. When enabled, driver attention is not required.

Level 5: Other than setting the destination and starting the system, no human intervention is required. The automatic system can drive to any location where it is legal to drive and make its own decision.

Interesting point about the difficulty of removing fake news:

>> On Wikipedia, you have the freedom to set up an account, log in, and edit any entry you like. You can change the name of George Washington to Billy-Bob Washypants if you like. You can say he’s still alive and sells insurance in New Jersey. You can say he has sixteen cats and has gone vegan. Whatever. Will your edits stick? No. That’s the point. The openness of Wikipedia is the outworking of a philosophy that truth, when crowdsourced, is just as strong — if not stronger — than when managed by a select few. Now, one too many bogus edits and you’ll be banned from Wikipedia, which is, again, in line with their philosophy. If your intent toward information is chaotic-evil, fine, but you’re not entitled to go about your trickster ways anywhere you like, and Wikipedia is entitled to kick you out. So how about Facebook? On Facebook, only the original creator of a post on Facebook can edit it. The crowd has no recourse but to complain to Facebook, and Facebook, of course, has already said that the content isn’t their problem.
I made a bet with someone recently that within 10 years you will not be able to buy a self driving car off the lot that can drive someone around that doesn't have a licence.

It's a testament to Tesla's propaganda that he took the bet. I look forward to claiming my $500 in 10 years time.
This sounds like an apologist's explanation for an inconvenient truth. Sounds reasonable, but falls apart when confronted with actual data.

(Edit: I'm sure you were paraphrasing what you'd read somewhere.)

Here's a quote from the Boston Globe's 5/7/2000 article:

>> Three years before Prozac received approval by the US Food and Drug Administration in late 1987, the German BGA, that country’s FDA equivalent, had such serious reservations about Prozac’s safety that it refused to approve the antidepressant based on Lilly’s studies showing that previously nonsuicidal patients who took the drug had a fivefold higher rate of suicides and suicide attempts than those on older antidepressants, and a threefold higher rate than those taking placebos.

>> Lilly’s own figures, in reports made available to the Globe, indicate that 1 in 100 previously nonsuicidal patients who took the drug in early clinical trials developed a severe form of anxiety and agitation called akathisia, causing them to attempt or commit suicide during the studies.

-- http://ahrp.org/prozac-revisited-concerns-about-suicides-sur... (I don't know anything about this site, but I've read the quote elsewhere so I'm sure it's a true copy of what the Globe actually printed).
I believe (a coworker of mine worked on S/360) that all the old software can be effectively run through emulators on the current system z. The feeling was that once you had done the development and testing of an older system, IBM was never going to force you to rewrite your code. As a result, the upgrades were pretty seamless over the years. Many of those customers never had to upgrade and never had a reason to.
Chances are in that situation you yourself would be pulling over to regroup.
>He just stood up in front of the CIA and claimed that he had more people than any Inauguration.

Except he didn't. I watched that press conference. He said he had lots and lots of people. He never said he had more people than Obama. He was calling out CNN because CNN was trying to make it seem like had less than half.

>In reality, he had less than half.

Except we have photos showing he have almost the same as Obama. Around 90% of Obama.

The photo you saw probably came from CNN. CNN posted a photo from earlier in the day, before people started filling it up, and claimed that Trump only had half the people.
