Also I'll add that there were many "outs" for those that supported aether theories such as frame dragging or simply experimental error as those themselves doing the experiments often believed and kept trying to develop more r

If you read the literature of the time, the issue was considered as largely understood. I would highly recommended science and hypothesis by Poincare (1905). You'll see a lot of concepts and equations that you might have assumed came f

The equations that students must often learn for special relativity were already known, hence the Lorentz naming. The question at the time was largely about how this undetectable substance called the ether behaved. Another example might be

I'll add that many huge advances have been made by solving what could be described as psuedo problems, most notably special relativity.

This reads entirely as "everyone else's approach to problems have been unsuccessful, therefore they should use my approach instead, which also had been unsuccessful solving the same problems"

A really good hack to get around the fact that motor vehicles are by law easily traceable is to...just take mass transit.

The browser side is not where all the hurdles occur. It's on the capture side and the key/certificate management/revocation side.

There are so many technical hurdles to something like this, I don't see it as a solution anytime soon or ever.

We all have the ability to infer and then "imagine" the results.

Bonus points for a USB stick that with the correct knock algorithm (plug in 3 times, unplug for 10 seconds, plug in again) presents a secret partition, otherwise presents a dummy partition.

I really like the idea of a failsafe, where if the device is locked in a cabinet for a month it becomes unusable.

It is a complex issue. Tongue tie is a real thing that causes real problems and lack of a diagnosis can lead to a lot of unneeded suffering and distress. Compounding this pediatricians are often not very responsive to breastfeeding concerns

Because they still cry in other situations when they need help, but no longer very cry just because they are being laid down to sleep.

Why do I suddenly hear some familiar jazz?

Tongue tie is so heavily over-diagnosed and even treated right now. Just an aside to those in the thread, get a diagnosis from a pediatric dentist or other doctor, not a lactation consultant and not from the doctor that is responsible for

Not only that, but at a certain age they can learn to get the things (comfort, sleep, etc) they want in ways other than crying. Past a certain age, always responding to crying right away is stunting that ability.

People just won't get it unless they have kids, I don't see any way to explain it otherwise. Even then, some people will have some unicorn baby that is magical to raise. Teaching your child to self sooth is such an important skill

No judgement here, but I think I can hear a pediatric dentist down the street streaming some obscenities of some sort.

That's the number one thing about all these advice articles. Every kid is different. That's great to have tips of things to try, but there's absolutely no secret formula and 4 kids is a really small sample size.

The recommendation in the US is to have infants sleep in the same room in a bassinet. Then moving to a crib, often in a separate room, around 4-6 months. Co-sleeping is also somewhat popular, but it greatly increases the chance of SIDS with

I gotta say, the catholic church indulgence system would have been a lot more interesting if it were structured as offsets instead of just payments. It's a great way to explain how ludicrous the current system is though. You can pay me

In theory, it's great. In practice perverse incentives and little to no regulation make it worthless. A John Oliver explainer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p8zAbFKpW0

A bit of devil's advocate here, but the slower people in the group are willing and able to rest at any point that the fast hiker is ahead and the fast hiker would never even know.

I think you'd just make the sockets and plugs keyed. A 120v only plug can only plug in a 120v outlet. A dual voltage plug can plug into either socket. Bonus points for providing some simple signal that indicates the voltage for dumb ap

For purposes of this discussion, and most importantly for the tax payer for which this system imposes the most pointless hardship, absolutely, yes, let's get it done. Now. But. The tax code is needlessly and intentionally convoluted. F

Just to make clear I'm not advocating for this solution, excessive private ownership of public spaces is a problem that's been known for quite some time and there's a number of laws in place to limit it.
