2FA could be via email, but is often with SMS / app on phone. There is a backup mechanism here with printed one-time-use numbers. This is not friction-less nor optimal in my view, but there is some backup. The proposed login mechanis

First of all, what if you lose access to your email address? Now you can't access your service anymore? Second, why use email? It's not secure. Depending on your threat model, it might not be a good idea. What about a (phone) app

The climate has changed rapidly in the Yukon (see below), but I am wondering if you could provide a (scientific) source for your claims? Especially: > even 20 years ago it wouldn't go above -40 for all of Dec/Jan. This seems to

Well.. it is complicated. Depending on what exactly you want to know, you could look into the concept of "Transient Climate Response" (e.g. start at [1]). [1] https://www.nature.com/articles/nature08047

There have been many reconstructions of global temperatures before 1880 using a variety of temperature proxies. A nice summary in one image is given on Wikipedia [1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleoclimatology

Technically, it is technically incorrect. There is no "speed of light", there is only "speed of light in [medium]".* Therefore, interpretation #1 doesn't make sense. Maybe colloquially people refer to the speed of l

I couldn't get it working for me on the first image. Could anyone give more pointers on how to make it work? If I "clear the blurriness", all I see is the original image, razor sharp.. No furrows and no triplet..? >Figure

This is right if you assume constant floor area for increasingly taller buildings. I think taller buildings require more floor space and that offsets the increase (at least somewhat).

Sorry for not watching your video. Could you give a ELI5 explanation of why some vpns still work now if they have this tech?

Hypothetically, if you start a VPN business with a large pool of random ipv6 addresses and assign each customer one of those, could that be a start as a work-around?

Is the embedded video supposed to be an example of their stellar reputation for making videos go viral? I'm not saying it's bad, but definitely not "viral material"

AirBnB is a plague in Amsterdam where people rent out their house almost full-time on the service. A lot of concern has been voiced by neighbours and public figures (notably Arjen Lubach, a sort of Dutch John Oliver). The critisicm comes fr

Do you interpret it as a positive sign (since your names were there) or negative sign (since the writing has faded)..?

You're down voted but I agree. 200 participants split into A/B for yes/no drugs, 8 scenarios and 3 different tests makes the sample incredibly small.. would like to hear statistical arguments opposing my PoV

Keep in mind that JWT is a space-based telescope and ALMA is ground based (and an interferometer, not a single dish).

At the time of writing this, a subscription for one year is 30$ for a bi-monthly magazine. I would love it if it was once a month (for double the price), however, shipping to Europe seems to cost another 30$ per year. I understand the cost

Hi! It's true, I did not include the explanation of how Maxwell came to the displacement current in the post [edit: I mean I didn't include a satisfactory explanation]. I cannot refer to Nahin's book anymore since I've r

I agree with your sentiment: to analyze these amounts of documents you need computers. And I understand the importance of parallelism, GPU computing can be way faster than CPUs for certain tasks. In a sense, and correct me if I'm wrong

Hi AlexCoventry, Please don't get me wrong: there is no future for CTM. You are 100% correct about this. However, quackery is still not a thing of the past. Therefore, I would ask of you not to debunk CTM or to point to its weaknesses

Thanks! This is exactly the kind of comparison I'm looking for (other fields are still welcome). If I look at the link you provide, I see an improvement which is great. However, the improvement seems to be somewhat linear year-on-year.

Thank you for the serious reply. I would like to ask you and anyone reading this: what exactly gives AI/ML the "edge"? I mean, faster computers are a given these days compared to any other time in humanity. They are giving us

At Risk of being downvoted to oblivion and out of a very well-meant interest: what if you'd replace AI with Chinese traditional medicine in the post above? Why would AI be more viable than that? (Note: I am very skeptical towards CTM

The peer review is supposed to be anonymous. So what happens in practice is you upload your paper to a central website from which a set of reviewers can download a copy for review and give feedback with comments, anonymously. This is also w

While I agree with the sentiment in your analysis, the mass spying by the NSA was already well-known even in 2004 which is documented in the novel ("based on insider information") of Dan Brown: digital fortress. I know, it's
