Re:Wormholes help resolve black hole information paradox on Tuesday March 08, 2022 @12:51PM (#30603084)
But nothing is being resolved...

The article just says it gives completely different numbers.

"We discovered a new spacetime geometry with a wormhole-like structure that had been overlooked in conventional computations," says Goto. "Entropy computed using this new geometry gives a completely different result."

Am I missing something?

Thats why I love these types of sayings!

It doesnt always get grease, does it!

It depends on the usefulness of the source of the squeek! For me it translates as 'be worth helping'.

This even works for your couldron, is it worth fixing?

There's a saying "the squeeky wheel get's the grease".

People usually do what works for them. thats exactly why we still see fist fights, disinformation, yelling, racisim, war, complaining, etc. It does what it was intended to do. Otherwise, people would do something else.

Genuinely curious, Where are you learning this from?
Re:Ask HN: Do you think nuclear armageddon is plausible? on Wednesday March 02, 2022 @03:02PM (#30532217)
All it takes is one person to follow orders as well.

I would agree that forces wouldnt push the big red button if theyre informed of what actually happening, unfortunately I think most in those positions are kept in media silence.

what if theyre told their hometown is being nuked? Id expect retaliation from most people.

Re:BP quits Russia in up to $25B hit after Ukraine invasion on Sunday February 27, 2022 @04:25PM (#30492666)
I have a feeling, call it a hunch.

becuase the post adds nothing and is simply a post for the sake of posting.

of course no one is stopping non-ukrainians from leaving! why would they?

they are however stopping ukrainians of all races!

now I wonder if its you wants racial discourse. you parrot what other say, questioning their words but provide nothing yourself nor sources of these "posts youve read". why is that?

It may be that they're just between age 18-60. manditory military conscription means its unlawfull to leave regardless of race.
Re:The only Antonov An-225 Mriya has been destroyed on Sunday February 27, 2022 @02:15PM (#30491519)
There seems to be much more russian propaganda being spread today then the last few days.

I would agree it's coming from an official source, but with the sheer amount of disinformation going around right now I would assume no one is immune. Just because someone with authority speaks doesnt make it true just like a child speaking dosent make info false.

so far today, there does seem to be lots of hysteria through-out media.

I don't think the supply of tanks/helicopters is unlimited. 10 anti-tank anything is better than nothing.
idk, it looks like they're holding their own. If enough Russian troops die, what do you think is the most likely outcome? Is freedom worth dying for? Is denying others their freedom worth dying for?

It seem like maybe Ukraine should have kept theirs...
