Dark matter halos are often found around galaxies, extending far past them. The dark matter fails to stay within the galaxy because it's not slowed down by regular interactions. Also, dark matter is able to pull regular matter to be cl

>The idea that there exists some "stuff" we can't measure (except weakly via observed gravitational effects) that is ~5-6 times the stuff we can measure and interact with seems a bit problematic. This seems to be a common

Aren't AMP pages able to be preloaded while you're at Google before you click on the link? I thought that was half the point of them. I can't see how that couldn't reduce loading times.

The design of it was discussed in https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/issues/3133 . It wasn't done nefariously. AMP prioritizes the page content and verified elements first over non-AMP content (includi

I've had issues with blank pages and scroll hanging occasionally in the years I've used Firefox on Android, but it seems like those issues have become less common for me lately with the last couple updates. Though I also did a big

It's a bad analogy because it's hard to imagine any kinds of thoughts/behaviors that we're absolutely sure we want to prevent. (Maybe some amount of nonviolent mischief is good for humanity, maybe the impulse for violent

And the application, the browser, is configurable by the user. There's no OS standard for DoH configurability so it can't just rely on the OS for that.

YouTube is a specific company and they run an engine for recommending videos to people. YouTube doesn't prevent people from finding other hosting for their own videos and linking people to those videos. Do people have any more right to

Firefox has no incentive to prevent people from blocking ads, and DNS over HTTPS isn't a tool to block users from reconfiguring their own machines. All browsers let you configure your DNS settings still. The thing that DNS over HTTPS p

To be fair, there's also developers that technically release an actual native linux build with bugs and then offer zero support for it. At least games on Proton still get worked on by the Proton developers.

In MWI, there isn't the same moon there or even any moon in many "worlds"; its existence depends on your point of view's world. Realism in this context is about the idea that probabilistic events and measurements end up

Why would YouTube want legally-enforced censorship? The existence of that would make more work for them and would open them up to liability. YouTube is specifically pushing back at propaganda coming from the government here, so I don't

The Bell paradox tells us that quantum mechanics is incompatible with local realism. Local referring to the idea that nothing is faster than light, and realism referring to the idea of there being a single objective world. You only have to

HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 are both very useful even without server push. HTTP/2 fixed the issues of HTTP pipelining and made it so multiple requests could share one connection without issues like head-of-line blocking, and HTTP/

Algorithms used for proof-of-work have to produce solutions that are very efficient to verify (it needs to be much more efficient to verify than to compute, and it also just needs to be very efficient to verify overall because every potenti

Trezor is open source, and you could generate your recovery seed on a computer and import it onto your hardware wallet. I believe Ethereum and some other cryptocurrencies prefer to use deterministic signatures on transactions, so in theory

It doesn't matter to the equations whether you're modeling the chance that a mutation happens on its own, or the chance that an event happens that causes the mutation. You would use the same equation to model either of those.

If the transitions were inevitable given the time they took here, then we would expect to see the transitions happen concurrently throughout the planet in many separate instances. But we see a number of important transitions that happened e

Even if panspermia is happening, that only gets other planets past the first rare transition. We know from the fossil record that the rest of the transitions happened on Earth rather than before Earth was seeded. The other planets would sti

Punctuated equilibrium doesn't really change the calculations involved in the article. Either mutations happen randomly on their own, or random events cause bursts of mutations to happen. The burstiness doesn't matter much when yo

The article mentions that multicellular life is something that's known to have separately evolved at least 40 times, so it's probably not a useful evolutionary step to compare to ones that only happened once.

It could be that the average amount of time for intelligent life to evolve would be much longer, like 1000x a regular planet's lifespan. Then you would only very rarely have intelligent life actually evolve, and that intelligent life w

Right, usually the plant keeps running for a while after I decide to stop putting fuel in, and I don't want it to ever be running while my steam tanks are all full because that would be a waste.

I set up my steam turbines to only turn on if an accumulator fell below 20% and then stay on until the accumulator is above 90%. Then I set up my nuclear plants to only be fueled if they're not currently fueled and my steam supply is u
