> GR says that the Newtonian law of gravity is an approximation that makes reasonably accurate predictions when the spacetime curvature is small and all relative motions are slow compared to the speed of light. These are merely the afore

GR agrees (recognizing the obvious caveats) with the classical law of F = Gm₁m₂/r², where F stands for "force". This force is caused by spacetime curvature.

People used to look like dorks walking down the street staring at a smartphone, or pulling an entire computer out of a bag at a coffee shop. We'll adjust.

That's right. Someone's happily paying those $5000 rents in New York, and it's not largely engineers doing so.

Because there's no such association. Nobody associates Coke with the reek of bum piss because they encountered a messy billboard. This is simply an unreal line of argument. It certainly would be interesting if we lived in a world where

This "association" business smells like a logical fallacy to me. Since when has advertisement even implied endorsement of nearby content? If I see a billboard on a bus station, what is the advertiser endorsing here? What about a m

This seems like a generalization with as many counterexamples as examples. Also, users don't actually want censorship, they want a tailored experience that filters out whatever content they don't like.

When I first grasped how many fake papers are floating around, I gnashed my teeth and called for heinous penalties upon the fraudsters. After a moment, I thought better, and decided that we should actually offer incentive for fraudulent pap

The CPC under Deng, unlike the CPSU, paid attention to the materialism part of Marxism, recognized that the business of America is business, and realized that the Western ruling classes stood to earn trillions from cooperation. In the west,

What did you think "anecdote" means? Why wouldn't your individual report of your meter measurements count? You haven't shown us the data, shown that you've controlled for confounding factors, or anything. You posted

Hard drugs have been illegal in America for generations, and yet every city has had a junkie community all this time. How much more failure must we entertain?

It's absolutely disingenuous. The public doesn't care if Google employees are emotionally suited for their management roles or not!

Phones are longer than 6.3cm, so put the other camera on the other end, with the added benefit of encouraging landscape-oriented images as well.

It's shocking to consider that any fee system is ever equitable, because people vary drastically in their wealth, and I hope that's not an assertion that requires a citation. An equitable system would involve each citizen receivin

It seems like a reasonable inference from a shocking statement. > The point of parking meters and tickets is not to make money. According to whom? Is it equitable because all citizens have the same amount of money?

> These companies care about their software productivity and profits, period. That's what drives their decisions. Then there ought to be enough data on the productivity of RTO to shut up all the naysayers on HN. It's not there.

Really? It's more engaging to show nine than an endless river? I don't understand.

Exactly. Why would a drug dealer do such a thing?

Instagram seems to be intentionally interrupting this addiction by limiting the number of images shown for a hashtag to only NINE, instead of the infinite river they could be delivering.

Physics education focuses on exciting areas of research. There isn't much interesting work currently taking place in fluids. We consider it a solved problem. The fact that we drive cars through fluids is completely irrelevant.
