- Comment on Hertz, showing the difference between science and engineering 1 day ago:
This may be an even better example than the positron. Originally a theoretical antimatter form of the common electron, with no practical application.
Turned out to be a vital tool for medical imaging. If you or someone you know has ever had a PET scan, now you know what the P stands for.
- Comment on Are foldable phones as good/bad as they say? 4 days ago:
Some considerations:
-
Do you prefer to have only the latest technology, regardless of cost? These phones are in flagship price ranges.
-
Are you very careful with your phone? Cases exist, but necessarily protect less of the device. The screen is far more prone to damage, but they are durable enough for daily use if you are a careful person.
-
Are you looking to get/replace both a phone and a tablet? Reviewers tend to say that foldables are not an adequate replacement for a tablet, but people I know personally say that it is more than enough to use as a tablet.
-
What features are you willing to compromise? Foldables often have lower quality cameras, chips, and smaller batteries than similarly priced phones. I’m assuming you have already looked into it, since this is easiest thing to check.
-
Do you just really want a foldable? Honestly, everyone I know who has one loves it. If you like the format then go for it :)

Moths come from eggs, which are similar to beans, so… I have no idea.

What if it comes out that color that researchers discovered that you can only see by shining lasers in your eyes?
- Comment on Is feigned happiness remotely similar to actual happiness? 1 week ago:
To a certain degree, yes. Acting happy can cause you to do activities (connection) that can actually make you more happy.
In general though, a lot of unhappiness is founded in either an emotional response to an unhappy situation or in some type of chronic illness. Feigned happiness does not ever address underlying causes that should be addressed therapeutically.

I think that when someone is uniquely positioned to help people, they do have a moral obligation to take action. That may be you, but it may not.

I learned from a recent conversation (in which I was the jerk) that many of the airplane employees are not actually employees of the airline.
Often there are contractors without any benefits, including free flights. When they have to travel for work, they sometimes have to pay for their own hotels. They literally have to pay just to work.

Ah, I was thinking of curved space over the surface of the sphere. Right you are. No me for me to start getting non-Euclidean

- Comment on If darker coloured materials get hotter in the sun faster, will a display with the screen on or off change how quickly it heats up? 4 weeks ago:
No, the screen still absorbs the same amount of light, even when it’s producing its own. It is effectively black from the Sun’s perspective even when the screen is white.
A display that uses a reflective light display such as LCD or e-ink would be the exception. Since they work by changing reflectiveness, they absorb more or less light from their surface.

- Comment on i broke 5 weeks ago:
Thoughts are habits. You can’t always change your circumstances, but you can change the way you think about them. The more you practice healthy thought patterns, the better you develop good habits.

The most meaningful metric of any economy in my opinion is always median real income. It means whether most people are more able or less abke to live the life they want (to vastly over-simplify).
