Regarding ads for consumer goods, you're right. But ads for jobs should not be handled the same way. That's another market entirely. Imagine you being happy with your current employment, but you are bombarded with "outstandin

Well. That's not as easy as you think. Most companies believe that without ads they'd lose to competition.

Especially predatory credit and lending ads.

It definitely sets back the initial excitement or motivation behind a new idea, especially if it's half-backed. Can confirm from experience.

Well, there are Buddhist and Christian monasteries which I certainly know they exist. I'm sure that there are Muslim and Hindu monasteries also...

You misunderstood. It's not the idea of living in introspection that isn't making sense anymore. It's the traditions that I meant, the rigid traditions of serving god and faith inside a monastery. Those aren't making sen

That's an interesting idea. Definitely worth thinking about. An R&D monastery, where the inhabitants support each other by rotating duties and service for day-to-day life, with dedication to science, engineering and philosophy. Sou

Is there any possible modern approach to a traditional catholic monastery? I think, they are dying out, because of their rigid traditions which rarely make sense in our modern world anymore. The idea of a monastery is to dedicate yourself c

No. Because this nonsense will break my systems. What is this? Some crazy guy makes significant changes to a standard, the distribution maintainers will just gobble it up (as per usual) and then I have to weigh the pros and cons instead of

This systemd train has to stop. Why isn't Poettering just forking the Linux kernel for his very own systemd-OS distribution? If any of the Linux distributions I'm using touches the home directory because of Poettering's say-s

It says: "Sample Scene, rough version with temp music and archive. For private screening purpose only. 19:02" Which is it then? Is it finished, or is it just a teaser?

It's a webpage about an upcoming docu series about the old hackers/phone phreaks days. There is not a single finished episode.

Is this a joke? "Go find an old uranium mine" and DIY high PH acid chemistry without precautions and proper equipment. Sounds totally safe. Beware of idiots reading this, making yellowcake and selling it to a regular Sheldon Coope

What sort of pentesters was that who didn't specify and get a signed off code of conduct before they did a physical pentest? Having a paper to wave in front of the arresting cops is more important than the promise of money. Jesus. Am

It's beautiful math, yes. But a miracle? I don't know.

I think, adding anything radioactive to jetfuel even with decay halflifes of some days would leave a detectable trail.

Well, you are correct in just some cases. Caesium has only one stable isotope, so beside the actual Caesium and Caesium-133 everything else has ß-decay. Unless you are burning 100% refined Caesium, there is always a chance that you are also

I don't understand how physicists cannot see the obvious: the size of a proton appears not to have a fixed/natural value. It seems to depend on the quantum state of their system, energy levels, and the coupling partner's quan

This case is another example of sensationalism. The teenager has a rare and unusual case of malnutrition. He's gone blind by pure chance and circumstance; there are other possible outcomes. It's the fact that he's gone blind

Why isn't there any mentioning of radiation exposure effects on film? Or are they so insignificant that it's not worth mentioning?

How do you know if PrEP also works in the high-resistance cases?

Yes, exactly. Doesn't even feel like an apology.

Oh yes, quantum electromagnetic quantum field. Just add "quantum" and the discussion is over.

There is an agreement in physics that low energy EM fields are called waves, such as radio waves, and high energy EM fields are called photons or even particles. In any case they are actually both. If they are physical objects I don'

As far as I understand, dark matter is an educated guess (which was made upon the discovery that galaxies rotate differently than expected). Something out there must be causing gravity, but we cannot see it, which means that there is no
