I've never seen more than one link in a person's profile on TikTok, and "link in profile" is still a common phrase on there.

I think you may have misinterpreted what I said. I didn't claim that you'd feel like you were covering the distance faster than light. I was saying that as you go faster (relative to your destination), space contracts ahead of you

Micrometeors and radiation would be the major problem. Also, it's not just time dilation that would help. At relativistic speeds, space contracts quite noticeably in the direction of travel, so the actual distance you need to cover dim

I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think that reasoning holds up. An uninformed reading of 17 USC 102(b) sounds like it directly contradicts your theory: > In no case does copyright protection for an original work of authorship exte

I’ve heard this several times, but as far as I know this only means a person wouldn’t be able to copy the whole work, but that they’d still be absolutely allowed to extract/copy the recipe itself (in the form of the ingredients and the

I appreciate it. You're absolutely right about how exciting it is to be able to share explanations with people. This is a video of Feynman's answer to an interviewer asking about what and why you feel something when you put two ma

I get what you're saying. I studied physics in undergrad but decided not to go to grad school. I kept hearing stuff like that well into my junior and senior years. I ended up doing internships on two HEP experiments, one at Brookhaven

I suppose they could have meant that, but I think it's pretty reasonable to interpret that as having meant size on disk

Hundreds of megabytes would be a considerable improvement for me. I think my last installation of LaTeX and the few packages I depended on was around two gigabytes.

I don't have proof that it's universally the case. I expect it pretty much is, but if you have any counter examples please share them. I'd love to see something that would make me feel less bad about the world. Could you expl

Isn't the life well-off people in the United States only possible in its current form because of massive exploitation of people and resources? How is that in any way sustainable, and why should it be sustained?

You probably answered your own question there. They might want to tile things other than a terminal. I used to use Ion3 on a tiny Fujitsu Lifebook P1510D to divide the screen into quadrants containing things like a terminal (mostly used for

Asking yourself why you were mentioned is not at all the same thing as taking responsibility. If a mass shooter mentioned how much they appreciated me, my work, or a group I ran (or was even in) I'd be concerned and would wonder why. T
