Here's from my router:
IPv6 Connection Type: Native with DHCP-PD
WAN IPv6 Address: 2a02:fe0:c400:1:95d2:656f:...
WAN IPv6 Gateway: fe80::219:2fff:fee6:73d9
LAN IPv6 Address: 2a02:fe0:c411:a960:da50:e6ff:.../84
My PC gets a fe80 address, but I can ping the "LAN IPv6" address above.
My ISP supports IPv6, my router supposedly supports IPv6 (Asus RT-N66U), I can see the router getting an IPv6 address from my ISP, I can see my PC getting an IPv6 address from my router yet when I test it out on the various "do I have IPv6" pages it's failing.
After spending a couple of hours mucking around I gave up. I'll deal with it when it matters. Hopefully it's less painful then.
If I'd listen to di.fm on my way to and from work, which takes me about an hour each way, it would be about 4.6 GB per month just there.
Now if I paid for an "unlimited" plan, I would expect such casual usage to be perfectly within the bounds of "unlimited".
Indeed. Only a small fraction of the collision events are kept, otherwise the amount of data would be overwhelming.
From http://www.lhc-closer.es/1/3/13/0:
In particle physics, a trigger is a system that uses simple criteria to rapidly decide which events in a particle detector to keep when only a small fraction of the total can be recorded. Trigger systems are necessary due to real-world limitations in data storage capacity and rates. Since experiments are typically searching for "interesting" events (such as decays of rare particles) that occur at a relatively low rate, trigger systems are used to identify the events that should be recorded for later analysis. Current accelerators have event rates greater than 1 MHz and trigger rates that can be below 10 Hz.
Well the problem is that when I rate a movie, Netflix has no idea why I rated the way I did. They don't know the context.
I recently rated a movie 1 star, I didn't even finish it, because the story was just so horribly badly written. But I liked just about everything else, the plot itself was great, my kind of genre, cinematography was good, actors too. But that stupid story just killed it for me.
How's Netflix going to figure out why I rated that a 1 without asking me? I think they should ask follow-up questions to get some of that context if I rate a movie very different from their prediction.
But yes, if I've recently watched a movie... don't recommend it to me again for some time. That'd be a good start.
Dark matter is one of those as well. They've theorized dark matter and attributed each unexplained item in astrophysics to it but have no real evidence it exists.
No. You got it exactly backwards. It's entirely the opposite of string theory. String theory was born as a theoretical construct and they're trying to figure out how to make predictions with it so they can see if it matches the real world.
When it comes to dark matter, what they have is a ton of observations which does not match the predictions of our current theories. What they see is mass being affected by something we can't see. So they've given it a label until we figure out what it is: dark matter.
So, just to repeat, dark matter is just a label given to what we can see happening but which we cannot currently explain with our established theories (GR and Standard Model). Hence it absolutely is reality!
And no, having "enough" dark matter would not explain the big bang. However certain dark matter theory-candidates give predictions which can explain the matter distribution in the galaxy, which neatly solves another puzzle.
You can read up on some details here about the latter: http://www.illustris-project.org/about/#public
Previously mentioned steering wheel attendants who aren't paying attention will swerve right into your side because they weren't paying any attention!
Sure, but if they instead swerve right in front of you, and you are speeding, you will hit them with significantly more energy than if you were not speeding, making the collision significantly worse.
Speeding being dangerous is a commonly believed myth.
Physics would like to have a word: E_k = 1/2 * mv^2. If you're speeding by 15% your car has 30% more kinetic energy. If you're doing 90 rather than 65, your car has almost twice the kinetic energy.
No amount of paranoia and adrenaline can change the fact that you now need twice the breaking distance.
Must have been your pedal getting stuck or the cable. Not the throttle. The pedal only opens the throttle by pulling a cable.
Just for the record, the pedal is not the only thing that can pull on the cable. The carburetor can pull on the cable if it's mounting has come lose. This happened to my gf's car, and the gas pedal would quite literally get pulled in with it, while the engine rev'ed at max.
I deliberately left out "forvaring" as it's not intended to be a punishment. It's a means to keep people who are deemed too dangerous off the streets.
My point was that perhaps the punishment should fit the crime, so to speak, even if the resulting number of years sound a bit silly.
Why in god's name would you sentence someone to 400 years in prison unless you believe in Highlanders?
Here in Norway, the maximum sentence is 21 years, and doesn't stack beyond 21 years.
First-degree murder has a maximum of 21 years. So, you could have two guys in jail, both serving 21 years, one which murdered one person, the other which murdered say 69.
Now, I believe that taking 69 lives in cold blood is significantly worse than "just" one. However the sentence does not reflect this.
So while 400 years for one murder is a bit much, sentencing the second guy to 69 * 21 = 1449 years in prison would at least more accurately reflect the crime he committed.
How many of those years he must serve could be orthogonal, if society wants it that way.
Content-ID picked up the infringement of audio, but for music that was so ancient (Any older and it'd be on wax cylinder!) as to be public domain even in the US. I looked into it - a collecter's society had claimed the rights to it, even though the composer was dead more than seventy years ago
How old was the recording you used? The song/tune itself can be public domain due to age, but the performance/recording will still be protected by copyright if it was made recently.
I refused to use Dropbox ever since its "end to end encryption" claim was shown to be false, and they were de-duping your files.
I simply never assumed my Dropbox files were private to begin with.
While I don't share everything in my public folders, I don't put anything in Dropbox that I don't mind the whole world to see.
Why did he take his foot off the brake?
Because he put the car in neutral?
Oh wait...
Why can't they use a PRNG to dictate the detector settings? Pick a high quality PRNG, seed it with the first prime number. Run the experiment N times. Restart, seeding it with the second prime number, and run the experiment for N times again. Repeat M times until satisfied.
Then re-run the above with a different type of high quality PRNG.
Am I missing some big clue?
An Ada exception is when a routine gets in trouble and says 'Beam me up, Scotty'.
