It's not supposed to be especially tricky. Yes, as soon as you realise that the horn is a bucket with a very deep section that is narrower than the assumed thickness of a coat of paint, the surprise dissipates. I believe the point of

The way I'd heard the paint comment was along the lines that "Gabriel's Horn can hold only a finite quantity of paint, but requires an infinite quantity of paint to cover the surface" . So if you think of it as a bucket

Yes, this is similar to transmitting a message faster than the speed of light by moving a very long perfectly rigid rod; a perfectly rigid rod is not realisable and neither is a perfectly rigid disk.

Similarly, if you set out in a boat and circumnavigate the world in an easterly direction, ticking off a day on your calender every sunset, when you arrive back at your setting-off point your calendar will be one day ahead of everyone else.

No because you are breaking the UX with the price reduction incentive. I'm not breaking anything. I'm providing information about an alternate service. If you choose to use the IAP, you get the same UX you always did. So the

I answer calls. My family still often calls, and I know people who can't take a phone to work so they have to use a landline to call. The spam call detection on Android works pretty well for me, it seems to catch and block at least 90

I believe this is helping illustrate why Netflix made this decision. Sure, right now they'll lose a few people like you who cbf switching apps to see what's on Netflix - but they're banking that there's a lot more who

If an app was allowed to say "you can sign up in the App Store for $X, or you can sign up directly on our website for $(0.7 X)", shouldn't that satisfy you? You'd be able to have your convenient UX and keep your financia

From the point of view of the GPS satellites, LEO and the Earth's surface are almost the same thing. The GPS constellation is a lot further away.

If the government can file 'in rem' against the pile of cash, can you also file a habeas corpus motion on behalf of the pile of cash? The entire idea of 'in rem' actions is absurd on the face of it, and is the kind of no

Shall we start policing exactly what you're allowed to order through Uber Eats? No sandwiches, but a croissant is OK? What if I get a coffee with my croissant, is that allowed?

China's nuclear forces are not sized or equipped for a first-strike doctrine. As currently fielded they are a second-strike reprisal/deterrent force.

It depends on how far away the shipping is being interdicted. And ISR platforms are potentially more useful further away, too.

Australia's closest neighbour is Papua New Guinea - the closest Australian island is only 4km from the PNG coast.

It's the same reasons Australia has always had submarines - defence of shipping because an island nation relies on shipped goods, and an ISR platform.

There has never been such an agreement. What there has been is the NPT's Article I prohibition on the provision of nuclear weapons or nuclear explosive devices to non-weapons-states (which are all but the 5 weapons states, USA, Russia,

North Korea can't buy nuclear equipment from those countries because it has withdrawn from the NPT entirely, and it doesn't have a safeguards agreement with the IAEA.

The only Pixel's I had are two that you didn't - the Pixel 2 XL and the Pixel 4 XL. I've had no hardware issues with either. Interestingly the Pixel 2 XL is another LG one, so that might be another data point there.

When we say something travels at 50% the speed of light, it's always relative to some inertial, approximately inertial, reference frame, often implied. So eg. if you hear about the particles at the LHC travelling at near the speed of l
