Yeah, I gave up, and I actually like long form context. But this just wouldn't even start saying something...

In Austria until last week PCR tests were deemed adequate. Now they aren't anymore.

FWIW I wasn't checked at any cinema I go to, nor was I checked by my employer, and in fact, I wasn't even checked when I went to the hospital (of course I assume they had it on record, but that's just after you check-in and e

We use the EU-wide QR system. I don't know how easy is to get a fake certificate that would pass scrutiny, but here in Austria nobody seems to really check them. If you have something with a QR code on it, they let you pass.

And the scary part of it is that it doesn't come from some authoritarian tyrant, but rather it's supported by most, or at least a very significant part of the population...

I am not sure what you mean, care to elaborate?

No you can't, attacks like spectre are exploitable from javascript.

Same, except I am also forced to use Slack, which is worse.

by 4ad 5y ago
Channels are bad enough (for the reason explained in the post), but slack threads (also available now on discord) are another level of evil.

Jesus Christ, you have managed to make it worse than I thought it would be (and I expected it to be very bad). This is the stuff of nightmares, I would never do this while I was conscious. Hell, it would be better if there was pain.

The fact that spaces of different dimensionality can be put into a bijective map does not mean that dimensionality is not real or useful.

Twitter blogging is fine, albeit annoying. Twitter discussions, on the other hand, are impossible to follow.

There is no now on earth, as each point on earth has its own light cone disjoint from everyone else's. Of course that these light cones intersect quite a lot, and because of this intersection you are free to declare a region of small s

Yes, notice that even if you don't know what kind of coordinates are allowed in GR, from SR you know points of equal time coordinate must form surfaces, so any object with a non-zero 3-volume cannot lie on any such surface. As an aside

How much is a lot? The parent comment came with 6x10^-7s over 100 years and for 2m tall people. I haven't checked the calculation, but we'll go with that. Is that a lot? If yes, why? Or if not, why not? Let's say it's no

Of course that people have explored physics in spaces with multiple time dimensions. They aren't stable, orbits can't form, atoms can't form, etc. As far as I know 1+3 (three time dimensions and one space dimension) is stable

You seem to think that contiguous objects in space must live "in the same time" (whatever that means), so if time passed differently for different parts of the object then somehow this would break their topology because parts woul

As a physicist I find that the level of discourse around these topics among non-physicists ranges from hilarious to depressing. But I am still happy laymen are willing to have these discussions and that physics piques their interest. To be

I would recommend this introduction to type theory: https://arxiv.org/abs/1601.05035 . While it's about HoTT, it starts with a very clear general-audience explanation on why and how type theory is different from se

Maybe, if the movie was shot in 3D and intended to be seen in 3D. Dune wasn't. I had the same problem as the grandparent. I wanted to see Dune in IMAX, 2D as the director intended, but everywhere I looked, and I looked at the neighbour

I have lived in the US for about 8 years of my life in total. I have lived in Austria (not my birth country) for 11 years.

Because getting a work visa for the US take a tremendous amount of effort. I would move tomorrow if I could.

Although I complained about europeans in my other comment, I could as well complain about americans, and the fake american smile would be at the top of my list.

Very few people are racist, although you will find that if immigrants come from eastern europe instead of exotic countries like Ethiopia and Tanzania, the percentage of racist people towards them increases dramatically. Even so, few are ove

There are many horror stories indeed. Xenofobia is a big thing here, but unlike the US where racism is direct and in your face, here it is subtle. People are polite, but that won't help you get that raise that native Austrians colleagu
