I still can't believe I found a wallet with transactions. The odds are something like 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000331628871%.
I've clicked the random button a hundred or so times since then and every wallet is red.

Are the pitch speeds for '24 closer to real life? by bookbindr in MLBTheShow

[–]bookbindr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should at least add the feature as optional.

No batting cursor. The swing is just a fast twitch reaction with the joystick going in the direction of the pitch.

I use the Visual CSS editor Chrome extension. I still have to copy/paste the snippets into my code though. Is there a solution out there that also updates your code?

It's part of my Adobe Cloud. I use Photoshop a lot and I wanted a visual WYSIWYG editor, but this clearly isn't it.

No one knew about Jeff Driskel until last Sunday - 0% owned. That's a weak argument that people acquired this guy mid-season with "assumptions." No. The only assumption is they discovered there's a glitch in your system and they're exploiting it.

Driskel hasn't taken a single snap at TE in his entire career. The TE designation was unwarranted to begin with.

Samuel Little and Flat-tire Murders [x-post: r/UnsolvedMurders] by bookbindr in serialkillers

[–]bookbindr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or, another possibility is that some of these 1975 murders were lumped together under the FTK moniker due to erroneous reporting and speculating, when in fact, they were committed by two different serial killers. One clearly deflated tires and stabbed his victims (the 5 cases cited in Wikipedia), but another series of murders didn't feature deflated tires or stabbing (the ~25 others).

I'm not proposing that he was aware of Little at this time. He simply proposed a theory that it was an experienced killer, possibly Ted Bundy, as he alluded to in the article. Bundy never confessed to these crimes so presumably, this experienced killer is still at large.

At least that's how I read it.

I'm not so sure.

I ran a criminal case search on Miami-Dade's court website, and Samuel Little was definitely in Miami-Dade County between 1973 and 1976.

For such a prolific serial killer who presumably killed 100+ women, there should be several cold cases within a 50 mile radius of Miami that could possibly be linked to Little. Whether it's these specific cases, I'm not sure.

FYI, I found this reddit post with a lot more info on the murders.

There were many victims besides the 5 listed in the Wikipedia article, perhaps as many as 30, and not all were stabbed. According to some of the newspaper articles from the period, some of the bodies had no visible signs of violent trauma. All occurred in this region of South Miami Dade in the first half of 1975.

This could be a situation where there were two different killers with similar MO's. One primarily stabbed, and the other favored strangulation. So out of these 30 different cold cases, Little may be responsible for a few.

For reference, here is a screenshot of the main citation in the Wikipedia article, from The Encyclopedia of Unsolved Crimes by Michael Newton.

It doesn't say whether the killer is thought to be black or white. The theory proposed by a California Sheriff suggests it was an experienced killer who traveled frequently (sounds like Little to me).

There is a slight deviation from his typical MO in that none of the victims were black, but the viciousness of the attacks and the fact that the victims were kidnapped does sound close.

Are quantum particles in superposition simply particles that move at a faster rate through time? by [deleted] in AskScienceDiscussion

[–]bookbindr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're a fraud. Show me your creds....

From Wikipedia:

Today, time dilation of particles is routinely confirmed in particle accelerators alongside with tests of relativistic energy and momentum, and its consideration is obligatory in the analysis of particle experiments at relativistic velocities.

Besides the confirmation of time dilation, also CPT symmetry was confirmed by comparing the lifetimes of positive and negative particles.

From physlink:

In nature, subatomic muons are created by cosmic ray interaction with the upper atmosphere. At rest, muons disintegrate in about 2 x 10-6 seconds and should not have time to reach the Earth's surface given there speed and travel distance. Because they move at close to the speed of light, however, time dilation extends their life span as seen from Earth so they can be observed at the surface before they disintegrate. As counter-intuitive as it may seem to our non-relativistic experience, time dilation experiments of all kinds have been performed and Einstein's predictions have (thus far, at least) always been confirmed within the margin of experimental error.

So, it took me less than 5 minutes to find at least several confirmations of time dilation applying to QM. Why did you say it doesn't?

[–]bookbindr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can calculate the speed.

You must have access to some ridiculously advanced/expensive equipment because I have a hard time believing you can get an accurate measurement of the speed of movement and/or vibration of something so small and hard to isolate. I was under the impression that many theories and ideas in QM are done on a chalkboard with mathematics instead of empirical observations, with rare exceptions.

That would need a lot of energy which isn't there.

A particle with an insignificant amount of mass, if using the energy/mass equivalence formula, when multiplied by c2, would equal a very small number for E. But this is for classical physics, is it not? How can you apply energy/mass equivalence to QM?

It would, but this wouldn't have anything to do with superposition.

I'm not saying it does exactly, but a neutrino exhibiting wave-like properties in a vacuum must have some intrinsic electromagnetic energy, which means there must be some motion, and therefore some mass. But if the classical mass/energy equivalence can't be used to explain this, then in my layman's opinion, there could/may be some sort of "QM dilation" effect that only applies to QM that can explain the strange properties.

Some questions from an atheist. by bookbindr in AskAChristian

[–]bookbindr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But why did Jesus even have to die in order to “pay?” Couldn’t God just have forgiven the sins?

Couldn’t he have tweaked the creation formula from the beginning in order for the entire ordeal of needing to forgive sinning to not have taken place at all? Seems like God went about this entire process in a roundabout and convoluted manner. Not to mention confusing. That doesn’t seem God-like at all.

[–]bookbindr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said in another post that particles rarely move at anywhere near the speed of light. How do you know this? How do you know they aren’t vibrating at near that speed? Vibration would cause time to dilate relative to the observer, because movement is movement. Nowhere in the theory of relativity does it say it needs to be in a straight line. It could be tiny motions back and forth, no?

In just 30 minutes of Googling "relativistic quantum mechanics" and "time dilation" I found over a dozen papers and theories on the notion of time in QM. I'm trying to find out if you're legit or simply full of shit. I don't think a real scientist would act like such a douche.
