There is no constantly dark or light side

I would like to know where I made that comment. I see where I asked a question, and where you replied, and where I mentioned that your meaning hadn't been clear.

Neutrinos take away ~10MeV from a typical fission of U-235

The main problem is trying to explain quantum effects with classical analogies; such efforts always fall short, even when readers overstep and impart more meaning to the analogy than was intended. That may be, but one needs to understand QM to begin to make such an assessment

The improvement comes from spin squeezing; one partner of the entanglement has much less uncertainty in a particular state than the other, and this gets them below the standard quantum limit. They tout the improvement in the measurement but not the actual stability, which is more than an order of magnitude worse than the better optical frequency standards. That’s not to say that they won’t get there, though. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2006.07501.pdf I’d put my money on the latter being closer to the truth

Your meaning is far from clear when you speak of insurrection and protest in the same sentence. My “bias” is they aren’t the same thing.

Did you just “both sides” sedition and insurrection?

In general, the cross-section for absorption drops with energy. There are some resonances which go against this trend. See, for example fig 1here https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Neutron-absorption-cross-sections-for-several-isotopes-as-a-function-of-incident-neutron_fig5_235915631 (edit: x-post)

And? Since the article made no claim about dark matter, you need more than a hand-wave to say that it does. Dark matter seems to outweigh visible matter roughly six to one https://home.cern/science/physics/dark-matter So unless the research the article refers to is claiming a 6x discrepancy in how much normal matter is out there (it isn’t), you aren’t getting rid of dark matter. The article points out two data sets just outside our solar system. Your claim, vague as it is, is a massive and unfounded over-extrapolation of the report.

This is an example of Google being accountable to the law, if they are leaving a jurisdiction where they are not willing to comply with a local ordinance. To comply with their laws. They aren’t resettling. They are making their product unavailable. Not really different than with a physical product that doesn’t comply with e.g. a safety standard - If a widget uses lead in its electronics, there are places the company can’t sell the widget. Countries have laws to regulate this. One problem is the fines they impose are often too small to change the behavior

It’s not mentioned in the article. What is this “direct” relationship?

I can now shift my concern to the likelihood that all the vending machines at work will have been emptied by national guard folks

“Mpemba effect” is the search term you want

! Moderator Note There’s a lot that’s gone sideways with this thread. ! Moderator Note You weren’t the one quoted. Why did you think they were talking to you? ! Moderator Note You never justified your original statements, nor did I see you retract them. What I see is bad-faith discussion, so we’re done with this little disaster

Positive charges. Similar to mechanical systems, they are moving to a lower energy state (“downhill” in an electric sense) It can. In the case of EM waves, there’s no charges moving transferring energy and DC only gives static fields. Zero frequency. The details depend on the kind of bulb, but “converting frequencies” is not part of the physics model. The input electrical frequency doesn’t matter. The input electricity could be DC.

In perpetuity? We both mentioned the 10-year time frame.

You’ve argued you can’t raise it all at once, and here you’re apparently arguing you can’t raise it incrementally. So I guess there’s nothing to discuss with you on this aspect. If you’re buying a $500 bike, I’m thinking the hourly wage of someone at the store is only a small part of that, so bumping the minimum will have a small effect. But maybe that kid sticks around longer with a better wage, and you don’t have to train someone new every time some kid bolts to another job that pays more. That may be a reason Amazon went to $15 an hour recently. They apparently saw the value in doing so. It’s funny that in these kinds if examples, an edge case is used (a kid working their first job, making $10 an hour) instead of something more representative. That seems to happen a lot.

If they had raised it 7% per year we’d be there, but they didn’t. The current proposal is to raise it over 3 years, not one. - - - - Back in 2010, most states were at or very near the federal level. A few went over $8, with Washington topping the list at $8.55. Somehow several of the states have been able to increase their minimum wages over the last decade without having unemployment spike. Others let the wage stagnate. https://www2.census.gov/library/publications/2010/compendia/statab/130ed/tables/11s0651.pdf Seems like one of the arguments I’ve seen is since they’ve ignored the issue for 10 years that should prevent fixing the problem now (but not worded that way). I don’t find that compelling. If you built up a sweatshop business based on suppressed wages, well, you’re going to have to figure out a better business model.

! Moderator Note You have not established this to be the case, and your “logical conclusion” is implying that the justice system would be discarded in these cases, and is likewise without support. This is not in keeping with our rule on making arguments in good faith. I will leave the discussion open so these points can be explored, but am closing the poll

Number of people in hospital ≠ number of deaths If e.g. 20% of hospitalized patients die, then the occupancy is 5x higher than the deaths. And the length of stay matters, too. And AFAIK it’s ICU capacity, specifically, that’s being strained. Do these other afflictions result in an ICU stay?

And at least half the radiation is going to be sent in a different direction than the face. The phones work, after all.
