   I don't know what that video is describing, relative to EFE. The paper [1] abstract describes EFE and their findings this way: Theories of modified gravity generically violate the strong equivalence principle, so that the interna

   The paper I was referring to is from 2020. She brings up MOND because she's explaining the alternatives to dark matter, and EFE is (as far as I know) an extension to MOND that was postulated Milgrom back in 1983.

   Dr. Becky has a good video on new evidence against dark matter [1] that I find super interesting, especially new evidence for the External Field Effect, where the anomaly in the rotation of galaxies (which is what dark matter is needed to e

   That doesn't ring true to me at all. I'm more inclined to agree with Stephen Fry [1], who explains that it's ultimately a matter of optimism versus pessimism. The great American comics are people like John Belushi, the wisecr

   No, it's perfectly acceptable, even preferable, to refer to him as Handel. The reason is he changed his name when he became a British citizen. He chose the anglicized version, George Frideric Handel. Note the spelling of his first and

   They sell better than any single car brand, sure, but much less as a fraction of the market. Their market share in Europe has been around 25% (compared to around 70% in the US). And it's falling. In March 2022, Tesla's market sh

    The situation outside the US is even worse for Tesla. There's a whole swathe of great EVs these days from VW (ID.3, ID.4), Renault (Megane, E-2008), Opel (Corsa-e), Volvo (C40, XC40), Ford (Mustang Mach-E), Jaguar (I-PACE), Polestar, B

    How do you "openly fake" something when the definition of "faking" is to deceive? Do you have any examples?

    I would argue that 3D games and consoles happened. People started demanding more from games: They had to be bigger, more immersive, visually more advanced. The niche gamers still existed, but the publishers didn't want to cater to them

    I frequently use my phone while in a meeting. I can't see how using your phone as a webcam would be productive. Using a phone, like an old iPhone model you have upgraded from, would be neat, though. But there are a bunch of apps that

    Toonstruck definitely felt like old hat at the time when it came out. Adventure games were a dying genre; meanwhile, the same year we got games like Quake, Duke Nukem 3D, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, and Command & Conquer. One of my favo

    We are already there, I think. Look at the success of games like the Blackwell games (and other excellent games from Wadjet Eye, such as Gemini Rue and Technobabylon), the Deponia series, Machinarium, Thimbleweed Park, Life is Strange, Disc

    Good timing! I've been looking for a better binary encoding than BSON, and even considered inventing my own encoding. This looks pretty much exactly like what I was planning to do.

    Bogle did extensive analysis on the impact of rebalancing (between stocks and bonds) on historical portfolio returns, and decided that it does not meaningfully increase your returns. His main argument was rebalancing effectively switches hi

    In the context of Bogle's statement (and the parent's comment), it was the stock market, specifically index funds. It goes back to the realization that no investor can predict the peaks or troughs of the market, so getting out of

    As a counterpoint, I would quote the great John C Bogle: "Never, never get out of the market." [1] Knowing when the market has reached the bottom is not really possible. During the dot com crash in 2000-2001, investors sold all th

    Of course you can automatically trigger builds on save; my point is that there's an entire shift in thinking that's possible if we treat development as less of a sequence of discrete "stop the world" actions and more as

    There's nothing apologist about the comment you're replying to. The parent is not defending the behaviour; they are explaining which scenarios are affected, and what the appropriate mitigations are. Nobody here is denying that it&
