Regarding "fully" understanding physics, I like to refer people to Feynman's answer to a question about why magnets repel each other[0]. "Assuming something" is one integral part of the scientific method. You formul

It depends. The seasonal flu mutates enough between seasons that last year's immunity doesn't help you much. If we're lucky, this one doesn't do that, or it mutates in a way that symptoms aren't as severe (since cau

This doesn't seem to be from 2016 (some identifiers suggest that it is, but it cites papers up to 2018 and it says that a tweet from 2016 is two years old).

This is the question that should be higher up in the thread. This whole discussion makes no sense. Photons carry no hidden identity.

Where's "here"? In Switzerland you also see lots of burger replacements, imported like beyond or "homegrown" like the green mountain burger.

A friend of mine had that happen with iOS (iCloud sync settings that she disabled changed after an OS update) so I wouldn't feel safe from this kind of trickery after the OS switch.

"But in this case, the researchers used a custom-made microscope that shines a light onto the sample and measures the intensity of the light that bounces back." That's how eyes work as well. Well, they need a light source to

This sounds like in theory and makes you curse in practice. Trained TF model -> deployment using TF Lite is the most robust pipeline currently as far as I know. There are lots of improvements going into pytorch for mobile at the moment,

I live in Switzerland as well and wouldn't agree that direct democracy works much better than representative democracy. You can certainly argue that it does but it's far from obvious IMO. There's less focus on lobbying and mo

It (A4) has tolerances of 2mm on either side though so you can go as close to a √2 ratio as you want :) Not sure about the tolerances on letter paper.

I don't know if I agree with your first paragraph. The weather model analogy is at least misleading since the corresponding thing in QM would be a mixture of states, not a superposition.
