- Comment on Racism Pushed Jason Arday to the Top of the News Agenda 1 day ago:
I think that’s reasonable but someone like Arady should never ever have been in that position to begin with which is my main point. Is it the village idiot’s fault for being the village idiot? Or is it the university’s fault for making the village idiot the Dean?

This is why it’s not Ardays fault but the people who are responsible for verifying the background of the person they hired, and maintaining academic integrity. He should never have been in that position to begin with if they had even bothered to do their jobs right.

The one exception to this is CC validity checks. You can generate random card numbers, expiry dates, and security codes that pass the computational checks unherent to those numbers for all credit cards. Then the CC company charges like $0.03 per lookup or something. I’ve seen it used against scammers who don’t know what they’re doing where you spam thousands of tries per second until they shut the site down.

I guess I was referencing the original 2016 study by Borghans, Golsteyn, Heckman & Humphries that’s since been replicated and refuted. You’re right that it’s not settled academically right now so we don’t know for sure.

Intelligence is actually slightly negatively correlated with success my a lot of metrics (earnings, years of life, health) and the best predictors are general big 5 attributes like openness to experience, low neuroticism, high conscientiousness (hard working), and extraversion. Those characteristics are way better predictors of life success.

Oh MyAnonaMouse which is a cozy family friendly (they’re deadly serious about that.

- Comment on Plug-In Solar Panels Are Starting to Sprout in U.S. Backyards |Ten U.S. states have legalized systems that can be plugged into standard wall outlets. The technology typically does not require permits 2 weeks ago:
I wonder how this works. Maybe it only functions when it detects the wall has 120V power? If it backfed during a power outage it would be like plugging a generator into your house with a cheater cord (never, ever do that) which can step your generators 120V back up into 12-25kV through your local transformer and zap the linesman working to fix your outage on the neutral (a generator backfeeds onto the neutral not the “hot” sides of the circuit. I.e. the “safe” wire suddenly has thousands of volts on it)

I have a Pavlovian response to seeing shelves of spices and dried peppers in unlabeled bags in a language I can’t read because of this. If I’m already hungry and I walk in to a new place and see that suddenly I’m ravenous.
- Comment on Which is it Lemmy? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah it does explain it if you use your brain for like half a second. Is the orange portal moving down to the cube or is the cube moving up towards the orange portal? We have the reference frame of the cube so it looks like the portal is approaching the cube.

The best food is usually in places like that too. My home city has this literal hole in a wall mexican place. You know it’s good when it’s also a grocery store and nobody speaks good English except for the kids. Best fucking food I’ve ever had and I’m gutted because they closed down 6 months later and I don’t know if they moved or went out of business 😭😭😭

And as a matter of fact the fastest possible velocity you can get is with a hydraulic cylinder because of the immense amount of force it applies using the orange portal.
If you used magnetic levitation to move the orange portal the box would never make it through, because it’s made of metal and will be attracted to the levitation equipment.

You need to cut the hula hoop in half. The bottom moves and the top is stationary off to the side. The cube pops out at the same speed the bottom half is falling, but because the top half of the hula is stationary, the cube seems like it’s moving upwards.
- Comment on Which is it Lemmy? 3 weeks ago:
This has been really heavily debated before and the unanimous answer is B IRL and A for portal.
How does the cube move out of the blue portal? If you ignore the orangep portal entirely and consider just looking from the side as the cube emerges from the blue portal, the top has to be moving extremely fast. The cube needs to be moving relative to the blue portal at the same speed as the orange portal is descending or it doesn’t work.
You can also draw a force balance diagram and you get the same result…
But you’re welcome to disagree with me! That’s part of the wonder of the internet.
- Comment on Which is it Lemmy? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah if this existed IRL B is the correct answer. If you tried this in portal the video game A is the answer.
- Comment on Which is it Lemmy? 3 weeks ago:
Using portals rules yeah A is the correct answer.
B would be correct if this existed in real life and had to be compatible with general relativity. If we took this exact same setup and moved it into space, how could you tell if the cube is moving towards the portal or the portal is moving towards the cube? You also can’t use the blue portal as a reference point since it could also be moving indipendantly from the orange portal.
