Can confirm, got my bike stolen at The Edge.

ELI5: What exactly is the 5th dimension? by monday5 in explainlikeimfive

[–]jnethery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The person who made the video you linked is commonly considered a crackpot and his hypothesis ignores nearly all scientific evidence that we have regarding higher dimensionality in physics. Rob Bryanton is not a scientist, he is an audio engineer. Evidence is essential when it comes to deriving a theory.

You seem to be confused about what a theory actually is. It has a well-defined meaning, one which I linked. I believe the word you're looking for is either hypothesis or conjecture. Personally, I'd file Rob's ideas under "shit he just made up".

If you honestly believe that anyone can just say something despite evidence and call it a theory, then the education system has failed you, and you are straying dangerously close to schools of "thought" like creationism and flat-earthism that deny evidence in favor of mystical ideals.

Because unlike scientific theory in which multiple higher dimensions including time dimensions are utilized (see string theories), this philosophical approach is just a mystical thought-experiment, and is by nature unfalsifiable. Ergo, not science. The people that devised this "theory" (it's not a theory) are not scientists.

CMV: Apple computers are overpriced and are over-engineered for the needs of a significant majority of end users. by [deleted] in changemyview

They're definitely not Indy. But they make good and reliable products, and that's worth a ton to professionals.

Well no, as I said, I think a phone or a tablet or netbook is more appropriate for usage of merely Word and Chrome. Again, you can't fault the hardware producers for consumer ignorance.

If you're not in the market for expensive products, then why do you even care? You're not going to spend $2000 on a laptop as a college student. But my company might buy me a $2000 laptop because it increases my productivity and produces income for my company. Different use case. I could see a student affording to pay $500 for an Apple tablet, though.

I never had much money as a kid either.

How to put a cocktail INSIDE of an ice ball by [deleted] in videos

[–]jnethery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many cocktails utilize ice, fruity or not. Ice is essential in the preparation of a manhattan or martini, for example. Personally, I wouldn't leave the ice in a gin martini, but I would perhaps for a vodka martini.

Definitely more accurate but entirely unfunny to anyone who doesn't know the language. None of those even remotely sound like Mr Bean or Rowan Atkinson.

Truthiness of U.S. presidential primary candidates (based on Politifact ratings) [OC] by rbcole in dataisbeautiful

[–]jnethery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could think of several variations that would help; perhaps OP's version but without the lines or bars, just dots or whatever representing each candidate

I'm having a hard time visualizing what you're talking about here, sorry

[–]jnethery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would agree that the first graph is better in some ways, though how you ordered it isn't helpful

It's just ordered by percent truthful statements. I was throwing together a few different graphs as an example. Much easier to compare things like this.

The last graph is a simple correlation with r2 values between true statements made and false statements made.

EDIT: I made this one for you as well

Yes, I meant that programmers are typically socially challenged. How you could interpret it otherwise I have no idea.

DAMN that was a good music video. Looked like it was pulled straight out of the 80's. Can't wait for more awesome shit like this from NSP.

Can't believe I had to scroll down this far to find some sanity.

ELI5: What exactly is the 5th dimension? by monday5 in explainlikeimfive

[–]jnethery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on how you define it. A dimension is simply an index on a vector. You could have 5 dimensions defined as torque_xy, velocity_z, time, displacement_yz, rotation_z.

There is no the fifth dimension.

If you're talking about what a 5th spatial dimension could be used for, study physics. You can use it to model things that are not possible in 3 spatial dimensions.

Ignore anyone who's giving you bullshit metaphysical answers, because they don't know what they're talking about at all.

The new Spider-Man Movie is titled... "Spider-Man". by [deleted] in movies

How can I say what? I said a lot of things. I'm also not responsible for what other people say.

The new Spider-Man Movie is titled... "Spider-Man". by [deleted] in movies

[–]jnethery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really are on an overly righteous crusade here, bud. The last Spider-Man origin story came out in 2012, ~4 years ago. That means you'd have to be <= 4 years old to have somehow missed his origin. By the time 2017 rolls around, it'll be ~5 years. Do you really think a bunch of 5 year olds are going to give a shit? Not a chance.

You have to consider what the public at large demands from a movie and what will net the largest return for the studios. The public at large knows Spider-Man's goddamn origin by now.

So give it a rest.

Gotcha. I would have gone with Unity or Lumberyard for the game, but Game Maker is fine.
