That’s the neat part: they don’t!

I’m just glad that renewable energy will make us independent from middle eastern oil eventually. maybe then the bloodshed can end.

ok but now, where does the word “Funke” (spark) come from?
- Comment on Hertz, showing the difference between science and engineering 15 hours ago:
yeah, true
- Comment on Hertz, showing the difference between science and engineering 17 hours ago:
There were electrochemical cells (invented in 1800) that provided a constant current for some time.
Idk the details. Look up Galvanic cell, Volta cell.
- Comment on Hertz, showing the difference between science and engineering 17 hours ago:
ooh i always guessed the word “Funk” comes from function, i.e. the radio is a useful tool that has a function to whoever is using it.

Two inventions:
- Internet
- Computers
are independent of each other, but go together nicely.
You could have an internet (sort of) without computers. Consider Teletypers, FM Radio broadcasts, or Telephone.

i would like to hear about it :)

which is about the frequency that the heart (german Herz) is beating with.

Funnily enough, Faraday seemingly also understood that the Electric Field only possesses a potential in the absence of changing magnetic fields. Because only in the absence of changing magnetic fields, the rotation of the Electric Field is zero, and only then it has a potential.

still an important question

Even if they had a complete model of all of physics, it still wouldn’t answer all questions, as a lot of important data is just random. Whether nature decided to go with D-molecule or L-molecule is essentially random.

- Comment on where are worker rights parades? why are we focusing on very limited issues? 1 week ago:
Lots of social-cultural issues make for great distractions from actual economic measures while also ensuring infighting among the population! so they get nothing done.
- Comment on Teachers Are Not OK 1 week ago:
Well i think that western society has a lot of problems, and one of the grave ones is the moralizing stance that “knowledge is good” that was taken over from christianity. In christianity, the bird represents knowledge, and in the story of the world’s creation, the snake (which represents lust) walks up to the human, scares the bird sitting in the holy tree away, and that causes disaster. Ever since then, christianity has condemned lust and favoured knowledge.
We still have that attitude in our society. Children are trimmed into going to school, after that going to more school, after that going to even more school. Young people spend 18 years of their life in school. Children are told as long as they study, they’re going to have good prospects on the job market. And now all of that comes crashing down when AI replaces white-collar workers. That’s part of the crisis.
The solution would of course be to develop true (proper) far-sightedness and develop plans and lifestyle for the next 10000 years.

It’s not soup if they discard the water after cooking, leaving only the vegetables.
The alternative, btw, would be to fry everything in butter or some plant oil, i believe. That’s what they’re opposing.

It is university’s jobs to collect and disseminate knowledge.
As such, it would make sense for university to host its own journal for scientific research. After all, that is “disseminating knowledge” as well. Universities could do it for the greater good, instead of for profit, at least in sane countries where Universities actually operate for public benefit, not for profit.

- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 2 weeks ago:
I think the point is more to filter out people quickly who you couldn’t be in a sustainable relationship with anyways.
I don’t mind it as much as i used to anymore. But ten years ago, i consistently associated “small-talk” people with people who were superficial and wouldn’t comprehend important issues should they ever come up anyways.
Also i’m not sure how right i was about that.

wasn’t there something about children born from a C-section having a notably lower amount of gut biome, which kinda proofs that a significant amount of gut biome gets transported through the vaginal channel, or am i misremembering things?

The question is not what you do, but when.
If you did the same job you do today 50 years ago, you’d get massively better pay for it.
