Higgs boson conveys mass. Mass is not necessary for a gravity field. Massless particles such as photons can convey both gravity fields and momentum.

In short, gravity is correlated with energy density, which coincides with mass (via e=mc2) but the mass itself is not directly responsible for the gravity field, per se.
Just want to point out that people already "take a financial hit" in the form of taxes. I don't agree with it, but we pay taxes for a reason. So the answer may not lie in asking for "more", but rather in doing "better" or more "targeted" things with the money we already give out every month "for the greater good".

I've many times recommended we allow the populace to take a more hands-on approach when it comes to determining where tax-money should be allocated. E.g. I want 20% of federal war spending to be redirected to housing. Oh, what's that, we don't all agree? Well then, good sir, take 20% of my portion of tax money that currently goes to war spending and allocate only that to housing.

/not being snarky with the quotes, btw, that's just how it came out of my brain.
When you're launching the largest and heaviest rocket ever made not running headlong into creating the biggest fuel air explosion is part of the regulatory agencies job. The first launch was pretty wildly out of control so everyone wants to make sure the rocket explodes when told if it doesn't go where it's supposed to.

If you have Prime, it’s free to stream, while other things on Prime might need you to pay to rent/purchase to watch it.
The end goal is automation and functionality regardless of how difficult it makes manual repair. Almost nobody values manual repair capability when purchasing, so why would manufacturers?

Consumers just want easy repair/replace when it happens, and the more resilient the product the less they care.

You're still asking for "evidence" for something that's purely a personal preference.

I mean, I suppose you could argue that the article states that disabling syntax highlighting made him a better programmer, but asking for evidence that it actually did is silly. It's difficult, if not impossible, to truly measure how good a programmer is.

For water evaporative cooling is a big factor
Typo. I know the difference.
My gut was that this was some sort of April 1 paper that released early, especially when the link to the paper from CNN was broken. Now that we found an actual paper, I'm still not convinced this wasn't done tongue-in-cheek.

Probably costs for a drinking bird machine are cubic function to size, while power generation is square or linear.

Funny to think about CNNs vision here, every coastline and backyard swimming pool dotted with drinking bird machines. Need to charge your phone at the restaurant? Pull out your pocket drinking bird and put it on top of your water glass.
I'd speculate one of main tank bulkheads breached and gas kept leaking from payload door which overpowered RCS. Then, during reentry, the vehicle briefly managed to regain attitude by aerodynamic forces on the flaps, but became north-northwest aligned and broke up.
> Which is... sort of not inaccurate

Really? Do puddles not dry up at night?

My impression was that evaporation occurs because that's just the way liquid behaves. It's more important that water molecules are really small than that they experience sunlight. Temperature-based evaporation is "boiling", and sunlight doesn't make a meaningful difference there, as far as water goes...?
You know, a part of me is glad this is how it ended. It sucks that Yuzu had to get bullied out of existence, but there's a universe where this went to court, and Nintendo is successful in making emulation illegal. At least this way, no legal precedent was set.

Even still this is pretty depressing situation, simply because it might scare off people from contributing to or creating their own emulators. If they don't want to face the wrath of Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft/Apple/Google, then they might decide to pass and the emulation world will suffer for it. For that matter, I think there's a non-zero chance the Sony and Microsoft see this as their opportunity to start sicking their lawyers on emulator developers. And if we're really unlucky, one of them might be successful in getting console emulation banned.

I mean, as it stands, it seems like every large company is working extremely hard to ensure that you don't own your media, and instead are just renting it until they feel that they would be better off taking it away. Emulation is one of the few ways to take back control of the media. I can play Wii and Gamecube games on pretty much any platform, without much headache, because Dolphin runs on basically anything. I can backup my games and as of right now, there's really nothing Nintendo can do about it, and it seems like that fact drives entertainment companies crazy.

Couldn't agree more. You can't really speak about sonics in absolutist terms. Even so-called audiophiles can't agree on ideal sonics - is it a hyperclean recording with zero distortion and incredible dynamic range on CD, or is it the sound of tubes and tape on vinyl?
Yes, at the time I responded, the headline was much worse. The updated version actually provides some non-obvious information. The original merely said that prostate cancer isn't one disease.
> Do you have a background and credentials as valid?

I do. But we live in a world where people write you letters for promotion, review your grants, etc. Using your own name to say these things in public is bad for your career. So I'd rather not.

Plenty has been said in scientific publications about how junk like this leads to most papers being false, how we shouldn't do statistics this way, etc. Scientists know, but it hasn't been communicated to the public yet.

That being said, the beauty of science is that you don't need to see my CV.

A basic understanding of what Cohen's d is, or a simple translation (with some heavy assumptions) into accuracy as I provided, is enough to see that the paper is total trash. They found nothing, but they found it at huge scale, so the p value was very small.

By no-op I mean that it contributes nothing and means nothing. It's a waste of time for everyone. In a world were bean-counting publications wasn't how science was measured, I'm sure the authors would never have considered even writing this up worthwhile, never mind submitting it.

The term comes from assembly which often has a no-op instruction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOP_(code) Something that does nothing (although, that nothing may be critical depending on the instruction set).

Perhaps there's an approach where we tell an employee to rate everyone, and then use those values only as a self-assessment of the employee.
To continue with your metaphor using the Forth, if your project is to get from North Berwick to St Andrews, and you chose to estimate it "as the crow flies", your result would be about 20-30km. Whereas, if you chose to traverse the Forth up to Stirling, then return along the northern coastline, you'd be looking at 200km.

The Firth of Forth is visible with the naked eye from the ISS though. So picking a resolution that misses that geological feature and making an estimate for crossing the Forth that's out by an order of magnitude would be transparently and self-evidently incorrect... Particularly if you and your team are on the bank of the Forth when you make the estimate.

Picking an exact resolution is challenging, but picking a "good enough" resolution that minimises "out by an order of magnitude" errors really isn't for most tasks unless you're taking part in the most cutting edge of research.
I just don't believe this story. It feels like something blown out of proportion and then seeded to the press.

They show the forces tangential to the surface of the proton, going around one way near the "surface" and the other way in the middle. However, the hairy ball theorem says there must be something like "poles" in this case.

I'm wondering if their proton map covers that, and if the "axis" corresponds to anything familiar.

In vast many cases they were either forcefully conscripted by whomever was holding power in the particular area, or were simply choosing to enter armies because they were very young people who lost everything and did not have many options. Do not also discount that during the post-revolution civil war, food shortages were the norm, and the place to eat is army.

It an very different definition of visual programming to claim a system where you don't actually see the code is "visual programming”

In a text based language you see the code as text

In visual programming you generally see the code as a connected graph of nodes like Unreal Blueprints

In most spreadsheets you don't see the code. it's all hidden as formulas in cells and all you see is the result of each formula.

I'm not saying a spreadsheet isn't a programming environment but it's hard to see it as "visual programming" to see at most one line at a time

How would selling some cheap software to pirate all their games impact sales positively? Sure, they'd sell the emulator cheap and maybe make some money there (and hopefully not have people just pirate that), but then they'd just be enabling people to no longer pay for their $60/ea games which is a major part of what they make money on.

Why emulate? They could simply publish their games natively for PC and iOS/Android if they wanted to. They choose not to do so to control their platform end to end. That control nets them 30% from all other publishers who publish on the Switch, while they pay 0% themselves.

The real issue is that they didn't update the Switch hardware for so long that the Steam Deck became a better Switch than the Switch. Maybe they'll fix that with the Switch 2.
Offtopic but sort of related to ultra low power electronics:

Let's say we wanted to make a bunch of tiny dirigibles, to measure complex air currents. How small could we make a uniquely ID'd transmitter, temperature, air pressure, and attitude sensor? Something that could be tracked by multiple fixed receivers.

This isn't for anything real, I just like the thought of tiny dirigibles.
But "has reputable secondary sources" isn't even close to Wikipedia's real 'notability' determination.

Why is tradition relevant here? The indigenous community is a present day community, not a historical preservation society.

I disagree that we're all equal when it comes to defining what is and isn't "indigenous way."
Clearly there are people who cause harm. That is not what I'm reacting to.

I'm pushing against the ideas that:

1. This is somehow "self-directed" (which again makes no sense in the context of acknowledging childhood trauma)

2. Every manifestation of this trait leads to great harm (leaving no room for a spectrum or treatment/management)

3. We should "identify and isolate" people with this trait

What does 3 even entail in your mind? How would this play out practically speaking?

They kind of do if you count the classics that they let you play on Switch. Forget what it's called exactly, and I'm not sure if that's emulation or rewrites of older games.

I think the key thing with emulation is that it can be supported on various hardware, and then there is also the aspect that downloading ROMs can be done for free.
The author seems keenly unaware that all of this fake rigor in HR exists primarily so the company can say they have a process that is objective. This is not the same thing as actually having a process that's objective.

More to the point, objectivity may not actually matter much because so much of how a team performs is down to how individuals within the team gel, and you can't train someone into having a personality and work style that gels if they don't. Your coworkers can learn to handle criticism but they can't learn to be brash and assertive if it's genuinely not in their personality.
> all they need is one belief: don't use violence.

That's dogmatic. In history, there were plenty of situations where this areas was very grey. What if you are in 1943 and that you need to defend yourself? Will status quo be ever reversed at the same pace, saving lives of thousands, if there were no extremists that made "moderates" look moderate and pushed the power in place to negociate with the moderates?

I'm not at all advocating for violence, but your vision of "dont use violence is an absolute" is just simplistic.

> I don't think you can build arguments against censoring anti-vaccination opponents which are exactly valid to those advocating violence

Yes, I can, easily. The difference is that you are just going to say "no, they are not as valid, because my base hypothesis is that 'violence is never justified'". So, of course, FOR YOU, it will never be valid.

> Our ancestors lived worse lives without modern medicine, but it's conceivable to abandon some aspects of our technology and not fundamentally alter our way of life. Whereas the normalization of violence always, inevitably, leads exactly where you'd expect.

That's a good example: our ancestors went throught PLENTY of really violent time. By your own logic, violence is not that bad. You are also saying that any act of violence immediately implies a total collapse of any judgement, which is obviously not the reality.

But that's beyond the point: you just show that you have an absolute (so it's strange to criticize others for different absolutes). Which is fine. But you think that your absolute is somehow smarter or morally superior as others, while in fact it is not really advanced and rather simplistic.

This is preliminary work. The bigger issue is that this is happening at energy scales that ignore things like gluons.

> Sharper gravitational maps of both the proton’s quarks and its gluons may come in the 2030s when the Electron-Ion Collider, an experiment currently under construction at Brookhaven, will begin operations.

It would be hard to imagine the scientists are ignoring quantum effects since light + proton screams quantum, so it's unclear from the reporting alone if the lack of a quantum gravity theory is enough to make all this not particularly useful or if this is just bad reporting and the experts are confident this is the right way to do things "for reasons". My guess it's probably a mixture because the modelled answer computed from equations and the measured result seem to be aligned.
“Some level of inequality just seems inherently unjustifiable.“

Define justifiable. I would agree with “unfair.” Life is not fair. Is life “justifiable” to you? In nature, there are predators and prey, is that “justifiable”?

I like to simplify my thinking too, but your view seems inherently suppose almost superhuman discernment, that you (or other humans individually or collectively) can judge what is justified on a case by case basis without any concrete principals or criteria, and without bias! Doesn’t seem simple to me at all! How to distinguish the bill gateses from the other guys is a problem as old as civilization. There is more law and tax code written on this than you can ever hope to capture in your thinking. Ignoring policy and centuries of human knowledge isn’t “simple” as much as it is ignorance.

There is not a single school in my state that makes a "profit" on any of it's sports programs. Anything outside of D1 has no chance in hell on making money from sports.

Meanwhile these 3rd rate sports programs keep getting sanctioned for giving athletes under the table scholarships, which isn't allowed in lower tier schools.
Not necessarily. Layoffs mean higher profit margins and that often leads to an increase in stock price as it means higher potential payout for shareholders.
"An incredible number of games"? You're saying a kid can't pick up and play No Man's Sky if it's the first time they ever played a video game? Or that they can't get good at it if it's the first game they play?
That's genuinely interesting. I have yet to work at a place that doesn't use wired connections for their office workers. WiFi is always for guest use or for use when you can't be at your desk.
Why would Sony and Microsoft care? No one out there is seriously emulating their latest consoles because they're too powerful. Nintendo's problem is that they're trying to sell a medium range SoC from 2014 in 2024. It's so underpowered that emulation is something even some legit Switch owners prefer to do.
"Attempt" may be an understatement, as it worked.

We hat this experiment set up in one of our lecture halls once a year. They had to fence off the area and it had to relax for days, but we were able to replicate the measurement during our introduction to physics lecture.
