...when the democracy began to unravel, the law was used as a weapon against enemies, and the rule of law was replaced by mob rule with different factions warring in the streets. This could have easily been written about the late 1960s &#

I think the mathematical term "complement" might be more in line with the intended meaning.

"Red Queen's Race" is the term often used for that.

Bose ones seem to connect to two devices simultaneously but no more than that.

It's not that they didn't realise they were on the same frequency - it's that 2.4Ghz was really the only suitable unlicensed ISM band available. There's other devices there too - 2.4Ghz DECT phones for example when land

Gravitational attraction is a function of both objects, so the force between them is not a constant, same as for the electron. The way that varies is always in proportion to the object's inertial mass though, which has the result t

Sure, but the phrase "it's a force with a magnitude that is proportional to the mass" is like me asking "how heavy are you?" and you replying "75 liters", expecting me to know that humans are basically th

That's undecidable and gravity is not special in that way How so? You can have different electric charge to inertial mass ratios, but that is not so for gravitational mass to inertial mass.

You can't create a similar transformation for an electric field under which the motion of a proton, electron, muon etc are all straight lines. The indicator that gravity is special is the fact that 'inertial mass' and 'g

In Newtonian physics it's a force with a magnitude that is proportional to the mass of the body. For two different objects at the same point in the same gravitational field, the difference in gravitational force due to their differing

Yeah we got a bunch of 8-bit NE1000 cards for free and did the same thing around that time. I remember the three-step setup process of LSL / NE1000 / IPXODI. The file sharing thing might have been NWLite?

It is worth stating this explicitly - NIST has in fact done the practical experiments to demonstrate time dilation at both 10ms⁻¹ relative velocity and 1m relative height in Earth's gravitational well: https://tsapps.nist.go

A couple of hours before the event they still can only give a probability cloud. There's still considerable uncertainty in their projected positions: https://twitter.com/LeoLabs_Space/status/13168224001311047

I suspect if paracetamol was newly brought to market today it would in fact be prescription. On the other hand diclofenac is over-the-counter in Australia.

There isn't really a local good reference for "earth's surface normal" at the scale we're talking here anyway, though - it seems that what matters is the divergence between the gravity vector at one end of the facto

I assume this is the reason that casino croupiers are rotated frequently off and on the floor as well, although there of course it is about protecting profits rather than safety.
