> GR says that the Newtonian law of gravity is an approximation that makes reasonably accurate predictions when the spacetime curvature is small and all relative motions are slow compared to the speed of light.

These are merely the aforementioned caveats.

> It does not say that the Newtonian interpretation of that equation is correct.

If the interpretation were wrong, and that's not a force, then the amount of force in that equation would be 0.

With no force, Gm₁m₂/r² = 0.

However, that's not the modification that GR applies to this, though.

GR agrees (recognizing the obvious caveats) with the classical law of F = Gm₁m₂/r², where F stands for "force". This force is caused by spacetime curvature.

People used to look like dorks walking down the street staring at a smartphone, or pulling an entire computer out of a bag at a coffee shop.

We'll adjust.

That's right. Someone's happily paying those $5000 rents in New York, and it's not largely engineers doing so.

> "Conservatives" feel that their entire ideology is being unfairly attacked by global Jewish power brokers

The Wall Street Journal, Mark Levin, and Mitch McConnell fret over these Jewish power brokers, do they?

Or did you mean the ultra-MAGA wing, where DeSantis flies to Israel to cheerfully sign a bill against anti-Semitic hate speech? Or Donald Trump himself, the most popular American president among Israelis?

Because there's no such association.

Nobody associates Coke with the reek of bum piss because they encountered a messy billboard. This is simply an unreal line of argument.

It certainly would be interesting if we lived in a world where advertisers refused to run ads in stadiums of losing teams, ran their ads only on sunny days, and only on positive, uplifting tv episodes while entirely avoiding shows about serial killers. We can fantasize, but the actual world has never worked this way.

This "association" business smells like a logical fallacy to me. Since when has advertisement even implied endorsement of nearby content?

If I see a billboard on a bus station, what is the advertiser endorsing here?

What about a magazine ad? Reasonable people assume the advertiser supports every view expressed therein?

If I happened to see an ad on a website with user generated content, would I really think the advertiser endorsed each post?

Sorry, this argument is fallacious. Reasonable people do not make these conclusions.

This seems like a generalization with as many counterexamples as examples. Also, users don't actually want censorship, they want a tailored experience that filters out whatever content they don't like.

Maybe experiments can take thousands of hours.

When I first grasped how many fake papers are floating around, I gnashed my teeth and called for heinous penalties upon the fraudsters.

After a moment, I thought better, and decided that we should actually offer incentive for fraudulent papers! Liars will always have incentive to lie. When their lies are accepted by those who ought to be more skeptical, it's an indictment of the system, which should be more robust in detecting fraud.

The CPC under Deng, unlike the CPSU, paid attention to the materialism part of Marxism, recognized that the business of America is business, and realized that the Western ruling classes stood to earn trillions from cooperation. In the west, still fresh from remembering WW2, bankers felt that trade linkages could prevent WW3. In hindsight, it was an obvious and brilliant strategy.

Yes, the comment had been edited, and makes much more sense now.

What did you think "anecdote" means? Why wouldn't your individual report of your meter measurements count? You haven't shown us the data, shown that you've controlled for confounding factors, or anything.

You posted an anecdote.

Hard drugs have been illegal in America for generations, and yet every city has had a junkie community all this time. How much more failure must we entertain?

It's absolutely disingenuous. The public doesn't care if Google employees are emotionally suited for their management roles or not!

>> I try to correct for their biases by reading Kremlin propaganda (and US, and Chinese, and some others) and comparing what they are saying.

> Yes, you are living in a tiny bubble.

How is that a tiny bubble?

Phones are longer than 6.3cm, so put the other camera on the other end, with the added benefit of encouraging landscape-oriented images as well.

> Prolog is often used in things that are kept very secret.

As in national security secrecy?

It's shocking to consider that any fee system is ever equitable, because people vary drastically in their wealth, and I hope that's not an assertion that requires a citation.

An equitable system would involve each citizen receiving an equal number of parking tokens annually.

It seems like a reasonable inference from a shocking statement.

> The point of parking meters and tickets is not to make money.

According to whom? Is it equitable because all citizens have the same amount of money?

Reddit completely deleted all your accounts for this accident?

> These companies care about their software productivity and profits, period. That's what drives their decisions.

Then there ought to be enough data on the productivity of RTO to shut up all the naysayers on HN. It's not there. It doesn't exist. Jassy admitted his decision was based on groupthink.

Really? It's more engaging to show nine than an endless river? I don't understand.

Exactly. Why would a drug dealer do such a thing?

Instagram seems to be intentionally interrupting this addiction by limiting the number of images shown for a hashtag to only NINE, instead of the infinite river they could be delivering.

Thank you for the example of the polarization we're decrying.

Very interesting. I have used Slack for work on a MacBook for years, and I have never once noticed any responsiveness issues or lags at all.

Physics education focuses on exciting areas of research. There isn't much interesting work currently taking place in fluids. We consider it a solved problem. The fact that we drive cars through fluids is completely irrelevant.

A generation has been successfully raised to believe that we are our most superficial traits, that we live as stereotypes and view the world that way.
