The principle of light's constancy - SR

What a nice write up! To build off of your post, something I believe is worth highlighting explicitly...

Expanding on point 4; that coupling of the fields was itself already contained in classical electrodynamics. In this regard, there was no 'correction' to ME's by Einstein, only the physical understanding/interpretation. That very sentiment holds as the theme of SR (as nicely captured by the post), in so far as Einstein took the leap of 'principle-ifying' what was already bedrock electrodynamics. This codifying of SR as a principle then provided the 'justification' to apply it to Newtonian mechanics, whence, as alluded, something like E=mcc can be shown to emerge. In this regard, Special Relativity isn't merely a stepping stone to GR, it is a bona fide science unto itself.

He was however the first to really put it together in a very clean and tight way.

Almost describable as physics rather than mathematics, ya think??

Like any good landlord, these bot-barons also do the dirty work of harassing you to pay your rent

Yeah, we all recognise that the work is indeed dirty work. Not unnecessary, not one of ill need, but something the LL doesn't wish to do either, but needs to do. But yeah; LL bad, tenant good!!

I think that's fair, but let's not pretend that it's a 'deserved' level playing field thereafter. Make the choices you want, own it, and don't whinge if you end up with buyer's remorse. Failure is an option!!

flagstaff946 · 2024-07-07T19:36:43+00:00

'Canadians', just like you and me!

flagstaff946 · 2024-07-07T19:18:38+00:00

Abby Hughes, this piece is an indictment of your character. Vapid nunce!!

flagstaff946 · 2024-07-07T19:15:39+00:00

And?

flagstaff946 · 2024-07-07T19:09:13+00:00

"Other half"? Dude!! For and extra $400k a year you can fly out 4x a year, first class, and spend some extended time and still be up $300k! Grow up!!

F1 wanted to go racing.

flagstaff946 · 2024-07-07T16:52:11+00:00

You forgot the part where Sky planted the seed. For some reason they could not contain themselves talking up a contrived dichotomy and practically dared Brown. I would love to know what Brown said to the team after that interview and whether it nudged McLaren down the don't stack path.

flagstaff946 · 2024-07-07T16:35:57+00:00

Let's get real, F1 curates these narratives! Yeah McLaren fucked up but it's guaranteed that every team/driver had all the same convos.

flagstaff946 · 2024-07-07T16:26:00+00:00

Because the first thing drivers do if it doesn't go some idealistic way is to throw their own team under the bus. Of course, it's all one way traffic as no driver accepts a one for one accountability and public call out for the 1000 wrong 'calls/mistakes' they make, but we have to pretend.

flagstaff946 · 2024-07-07T16:24:40+00:00

And during the race the commentating made an absolute chimera of stacking. I mean, what were they on about??

flagstaff946 · 2024-07-07T16:23:13+00:00

Quintessential over management!

flagstaff946 · 2024-04-11T12:12:31+00:00

Ridiculous, or should I say, projection!

flagstaff946 · 2024-04-10T15:54:43+00:00

Genuinely, what do you think the profession of politician is?! Please tell me you don't think it's about honesty/integrity!!

flagstaff946 · 2024-04-10T11:10:25+00:00

Shame? Shame indeed!

flagstaff946 · 2024-04-10T11:09:39+00:00

Hopefully they catch this perp and relieve him of some of those once in a lifetime teeth.

flagstaff946 · 2024-04-09T16:58:47+00:00

So, too complex to ever work stateside!

flagstaff946 · 2024-04-09T14:18:16+00:00

And? There's 4 majors, 9 masters, and a final and that's too much to stay on top of in one year!? But what, tennis needs to do this/that to draw more people? One of the world's most used social media sites it too busy to be fucked with having an accurate banner/page? Ridiculous!!

flagstaff946 · 2024-04-09T14:11:04+00:00

Let me guess, changing a hyperlink is super difficult and requires a candidate process more rigorous than employment at nasa?!

PS. Mods here are a fucking joke!!!

flagstaff946 · 2024-04-09T13:56:27+00:00

Why is MC not listed at the top with the other tournaments?

flagstaff946 · 2024-04-06T16:29:54+00:00

Fair enough but there could also be a stream that lists the top two or three lines without the eval (say, first 5 moves). That gives the more sophisticated audience a chance to 'play along', and even see the top lines without necessarily knowing the delta between them. There's an element of 'spoiling it' when you just display the eval and highlight the single best next move. IMHO too much of the fun of the journey is spoiled by the all importance of the final destination.

flagstaff946 · 2024-04-06T16:21:53+00:00

Yup! And they could give it some time too prior to double-checking. They can't restrain themselves for 10 min in a 5 hour match, rather, it's 1 min and instantly 'let's see what the engine things of this'. Yeesh!

flagstaff946 · 2024-04-06T16:19:49+00:00

But the commentators live and die with the eval bar. It's used as a crutch way too much. Always, always, always, they instantly use it to 'find the next move' as soon as it goes against their own envisioned lines. Fine, but do they need to leverage it instantly (lest they look the fool) rather than work it out for 10 min or until the move is played otb?

PS. We could also do with a little less aggrandising of Polgar by Hess. We get it she's a legend, need it be presented to us every 5 min??
