advanced-DnD··on N° 9–2022: ExoMars suspended
> On 26 February 2022, Rogozin posted a video threatening to leave US astronaut Mark T. Vande Hei in space and separate Russian modules of the space station altogether.[29][30] In March, Roscosmos produced a mocked-up video portraying this, with cosmonauts saying goodbye to Vande Hei and detaching the Russian segment from the ISS.

Yeah, I don't think that is a reliable unbiased source. Moreover, wouldn't this invite defamation suit?

For a woman in the similar age, I would say she is more deserving of Nobel Peace Prize than Malala Yousafzai.

The risk that Malala takes in advocating for women right in Islamic countries is admirable, there is no denying in that. However, her impact are minuscule compared to Alexandra's in the big picture of progression as a human race. Malala's activism has not changed much on the course of women right in the countries where religion governs the lives from family to governance.

advanced-DnD··on Who's downloading pirated papers? Everyone (2016)
Don't know about EU in general.. but my articles published in Springer is open access with the German initiative DEAL. I don't know if that counts as open access as the German government is the one paying for it.

fission and fusion did not begin with private interest at heart. Not everything should be profit motivated, especially with public goods.[0]

advanced-DnD··on Australia is becoming a surveillance state
> our leading politicians still debate whether climate change is real or not.

But the Great Barrier Reef is definitely no endangered, because UNESCO says so!!!

Australia is a joke of a country. It's just a Texas with ocean.

advanced-DnD··on EU withheld a study that shows piracy doesn't hurt sales (2017)
EU Commission does has some democratic element in it. As though they are not elected by the Europeans directly, they are proxy voted by their respective government.

This is not new. For example, there are also no ministry election or, yet the government of the day still put people onto that position. This is just one example, if you're coming from the US, you can even think of the even more examples of non-directly elected official making important policies.

But judging by your two comments here, you have given this matter very little thought.

advanced-DnD··on Bring back menus, QR codes are terrible
> I absolutely hate how eating at a restaurant is seen by many as an event where you hang out forever, as opposed to a routine service I expect as a fairly quick and formulaic pitstop between other obligations.

Cultural difference. If you don't want to spend time with your friends then don't accept invitations of going to a restaurant.

As an overseas Chinese visiting China, the cashier always look at me weirdly when I told them (in Chinese) I don't have online wallet/mobile internet. They think I'm taking them for a laugh.
advanced-DnD··on Thirty Tesla crashes linked to assisted driving system under investigation in US
Think the self-driving car is about lessening accident under the axiom of: computer response better than human

Personally, I don't like to drive and I think it is a waste of my time, time that can be better used. Which is why I always find my apartment that has good public transport to my work place. Some of my research ideas are found on a train ride to office.

advanced-DnD··on The Awful German Language (1880)
1. Push your tongue against your upper inner-teeth.

2. Let out all the air out until your tongue separates said teeth

advanced-DnD··on The Awful German Language (1880)
Once you learnt the phonetics for the alphabet, you'll find German is pretty consistence.

I don't know what you're trying convey in your examples though, because all the example have consistent pronunciation. Inconsistence pronunciation often because it is borrowed words from French (das Experiment (Ex-pe-ri-mo'n?)) or English (das Schedule, informal vocab.)

advanced-DnD··on An experiment caught a quantum system in the middle of a jump (2019)
He's not claiming time isn't real, which the definition of "real" is difficult and troubling to define in itself.

I think he doesn't consider time to be 4th (or part of 3+1 or \R^3 \times \R ) dimension... or in heat equation language: that the domain is a not parabolic cylinder.

advanced-DnD··on An experiment caught a quantum system in the middle of a jump (2019)
I'm working in a field where m=1 and hbar as a semiclassical scale is given as order of N (number of bosons or fermions), i.e. I don't do actual real physics...

But.... a thought experiment:

If a particle experiences time differently dependent to its speed in relative to a frame of reference, i.e. that time experienced is scaled according to its speed. Since speed is definitely not discrete, scaling it with time, even though time in itself is discrete as you claimed, still makes the time experienced for said particle to be continuous, no? Is this not a contradiction?

advanced-DnD··on Current RNA vaccines protect against worrying coronavirus variants
In Germany BioNTech also involved in the production.. so it is also fair to call it as that..

But I'm a tad annoyed that they pronounce it "Bion-Tech" rather than "Bio-N-Tech", the latter was the intended pronunciation by the owners, I think.

advanced-DnD··on Apple learned automation can't match human skill
the smaller electronic device is, the higher the precision you need. For such a compact device such as iPhone, the precision is not enough to automate the production yet. For self-driving/flying, there is always some lee-way. The demand of lowering error variance is low.
