I have been using T-Clock for many years to get seconds in the taskbar clock. https://github.com/White-Tiger/T-Clock

I am the same way with HN, Reddit, or news sites. Every day I don't check the site, I feel like I am missing out on some important indispensable news and information.

Yet another reason to browse with javascript selectively disabled.

But that amount of air may not matter too much for the points discussed in the video which have to do with strength, seals, etc.

I don't disagree but that is not issue here. The issue is that for the purposes of discussing the mechanics of the tube like strength, seals, safety etc. the small amount of air left in the tube should not throw off simple calculations by too much.

I don't think that objection, by itself, invalidates the the video author's criticisms. According to Wikipedia, the hyperloop is intended to have a pressure of 100 Pa or 0.1 % of atmospheric pressure[1]. That is not much different from a prefect vacuum for the purposes of an approximate engineering calculation.

Here is a post about fats from the same author: http://theincidentaleconomist.com/wordpress/a-study-on-fats-...

Conclusion:

"Should we be eating more polyunsaturated fats? Should we be avoiding saturated fats? The honest answer is: I don’t know. Given my review of the evidence, I stand by my previous recommendations [1], which essentially focus more on foods and less on nutrients. I think the state of nutrition research in general is shockingly flawed."

This is a silly thing to argue about, but the article ends with a 5 paragraphs on how "Everett is far from the only current Chomsky challenger." And Everett has his own explanation of why his ideas still stand. It is a good article and people who are casually interested in the topic should read it.

Your [2] summarizes the whole situation evenhandedly. Far from being a take down of Everett, it ultimately comes down slightly on his side of the controversy.

Tennessine is a halogen group element and ends in -ine like all the other halogens.

About one-third of the injuries were due to anabolic steroids.

One thing that I have noticed recently is that some youtube creators from the gaming genre are moving to twitch because twitch stream subscribers are an even more direct way to make money.

Speaking of list of list on wikipedia, there is also this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lists_of_lists, to which I just added your "lists of unsolved problems".

You can plot out the wire gauges you want on a log scale and then round them to nice whole (metric measurement) numbers. That is in fact what is done for things like fasteners.

Sure. Those number I gave could be areas. I am not certain this the right standard, but IEC 60228 specifies 0.5 mm2, 0.75 mm2, 1 mm2, 1.5 mm2, 2.5 mm2, 4 mm2 etc...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60228

awg14 or whatever isn't exactly the perfect gauge for whatever application it is used for. It is somewhat arbitrary. A nice metric system of gauges would have 2 mm, 2.5 mm, 3 mm, etc. and there would be still be a nice round number gauge for each application.

But then the students might as well just read the textbook. I had in high school, physics PhDs for physics and math and it was the best experience of my educational life. The much deeper level of understanding they brought to bear allowed them convey the material more clearly and also draw our attention to deeper connections with more advanced topics.

Benford's law best applies to data that spans multiple orders of magnitude.

You are saying that when your individual line starts building up you feel pressure but when the single global line starts building up you would not feel pressure?

I read somewhere that a transmit only serial connection is a good solution.

I'm still bitter about my nexus 4 being dropped from M for no technical reason. Other phones with similar hardware got the update.

If you have .7z files associated with 7z File Manager, it will open on double click. Is that not the default on installation?

Nice video on the topic: https://vimeo.com/138807572

In addition to disabling js, another thing I do is disable styles. The web is really quite beautiful and often more usable with the default styles.

It have thought for a while now that the web and correspondingly the browser should be bifurcated into a content platform with no client side code and an application platform without the burden of the older technologies. The browser would provide all the interactivity and logic for the content platform through implementations of standard html tags. For the application platform, the browser could provide a more convenient set of apis sort of like plugins did before.

Here is a paper about a poll of physicists. http://arxiv.org/abs/1301.1069

Question 12: What is your favorite interpretation of quantum mechanics?

Top Three:

Copenhagen: 42%

Information-based/information-theoretical: 24%

Everett (many worlds and/or many minds): 18%
