The more I think about it, the less sense this graphic has
For some reason I also read “first” the first time I looked at the title
This is where the name relativity comes in. You have to think in terms of relative speed. Your speed relative to earth will indeed advance closer and closer to c but never reach it. There’s a bunch of really wild and crazy implications behind this.
ah, right. In a ship travelling with c, for someone outside the ship, I turn on the lights and observe the light to travel with c. For that external observer the light from my lamp travels at the same speed as my ship
My mind was already bent! ;)
It’s popular to think of those things as like crazy high G turns but they’re not. You’re just flying in a straight line through space time.
Soooo… Interstellar was wrong with all the shaking of the camera?
Are you on earth or is the ship in space accelerating at a constant rate? Again, there’s no way to tell. They are, physically, the same.
In case of accelerating ship, I wonder what would happen in local frame once you hit/get really close to c. You’d get decelerated out of nowhere? Just as if you hit something?
The understanding I got from school was that gravity might be some kind of force and basically one mass attracts other mass, like electric potentials do
Keep in mind, that was 20 years ago. Our understanding might have changed and tbh I wouldn’t expect a high school physics teacher to be on the bleeding edge of research in all physics fields
True. But that correction still doesn’t unbend my mind
As with any shared POV
I think it’s like racists. Whether one wants to be one or not is not tied with being one or not. That doesn’t mean they all have one secret handshake
🤯
So basically L before consonants is generally mute?
Wait… What? I’m not supposed to pronounce the l in salmon?
Illusion — Why do we keep believing that AI will solve the climate crisis (which it is facilitating), get rid of poverty (on which it is heavily relying), and unleash the full potential of human creativity (which it is undermining)?
Because we keep reading sensationalist advertisements presented as articles instead of experimenting with it ourselves, understanding what it is
And unfortunately, this article is also just a response to media clickbait, not a discussion point it tries to look like
Exactly same as with a hammer ;)
In general whatever anyone does to anything, current userbase will 90% of the time be against it. But
“Next, we’ll remove all the action buttons with their superfluous interaction counts from the main timeline,” Musk posted in a subscriber-only post on X in October of last year. “Just view count will show, unless you tap into a post.”
So the main thing will be views. Not how many agree, how many object. Views
And probably it will also become the main analytic datapoint
Shit in, shit out
Firefox turns the fan on while Chrome doesn’t
Does it also happen when you change user-agent to chrome? Google has been worsening the experience of their services on non-Chrome browsers for a solid few years now
When I don’t have the time to enable sheltered apps, I use Firefox with uBlock and AutoCookieDelete to watch the links
Last time I did this was a few hours ago
Yeah, I was wrong
Is there a limit to one-time cards
There should be something about that in the Revolut EULA or something like that. But I’ve never encountered it. The moment the payment goes through, a new card appears in the app
Can you elaborate But how private your data really is, that might be hard to answer
It’s a business. A closed source. They are of course bound by laws and regulations but there’s practically no way to make sure they aren’t selling transaction data/statistics under the table. Also, the cards issued by them are either visa or mastercard (IDR), so these companies have that info too. And I’d bet they sell transactions analytics
Then there’s also the matter of telemetry. Apart from telemetry gathered by the app for Revolut, I guess there’s no way to use it without Gapps
FWIW I did not notice an influx of spam after registering an account. But that doesn’t prove anything, of course
We can’t inspect the code of the app. So it’s probably only as private as other bank apps
most banks do not support NFC payments in their apps
Huh? All the other banks I use support it
But you’re right regarding Revolut. I just checked and I was wrong, it’s not there in the settings. I have no idea how I used it with NFC in the past, then. Most of the time I use BLIK
WDYM by source? You just open phone settings, NFC and choose Revolut to be the app to be used with NFC
If you choose to be issued physical card there probably is a way to just copy it physically into NFC but I haven’t used that
Revolut is just another bank. It’s just a little less behind the times than most
Here it’s similar. I’ve found out that if to the question
I respond “No, thank you”, they often understand correctly and don’t assume I want to set one up
