Killing invading soldiers in time of war is not genocide.

Yes, I always take my kid with me when I perform an international assassination, because they're such an asset for making a quick getaway.

That makes sense. You want the water to drain, and take the dust with it, for rain and possibly the occasional cleaning in the absence of rain. Of course, if it's not near the equator and it's angled in the orthogonal direction, then you don't need to do this.

Reminds me of this joke: When I die, I want to go like my grandmother: peacefully, in my sleep. Not shrieking in terror, like the passengers in her car.

Where is the site where that picture was taken? I've not seen that configuration, and am interested to know the latitude and orientation

Do you see the contradiction here? "Cannot be completed" and then a citation of an experiment where it was completed? i.e. the separate gravitational and kinematic effects on the clocks allows one to show that the kinematic effect is real, since the gravitational effect can be separately confirmed (e.g. the Pound-Rebka experiment) Further, the kinematic effect was confirmed where there was no difference in the gravitational time dilation (and there was a separate experiment where the gravitational time dilation was measured) https://www.nist.gov/publications/relativity-and-optical-clocks direct link to a pdf of the paper https://tsapps.nist.gov/publication/get_pdf.cfm?pub_id=905055 "Here we report the detection of relativistic time dilation due to velocities of several meters per second and, separately, due to a change in height of 0.33 m by comparing two optical clocks based on 27Al+ ions."

! Moderator Note Which, AFAICT, has absolutely nothing to do with the war.

If you fire many electrons you will see the interference pattern. The pattern goes away if you can determine that an electron went through a particular slit, but that's not the case simply because a different person observes the screen.

The radiation is likely stronger than background at the frequency being used, but when one looks at a broader spectrum, the total background will be higher.

You do realize that “speculation” as used on SFN means you have some kind of evidence. It’s not a WAG, and the plural of anecdote is not evidence. What you have is a narrative, and are cherry-picking information to support it. Your story, for example, suggests that the children were not supervised, which is a funding issue, if you don’t have the staff to do this. It’s not an inherent discipline problem. And how, pray tell, does having an online teacher solve the issue of students running off?

If they are tilted along an axis of latitude, which is what is typical, this is still the case. (I’m ignoring any effect from being raised off the ground, which has minimal impact)

! Moderator Note Some recent posts were moved to the political jokes thread

“in my area teachers make a decent wage” is something you asserted as fact. (BTW, I was able to easily find that where I went to school the 2019 entry salary was about $46k, median is ~$70k and salaries top out at ~$100k. This ranks them in the upper third in the state. They report new union contracts in the local paper) I agree that salary is only one component of hiring and retaining teachers, but an important one. Teaching online doesn’t solve the issue of being underpaid. What is your evidence that the lack of “methods to control the classroom” is the missing component? I don’t recall this being an issue when & where I was in school. What is different?

! Moderator Note The material here doesn’t meet our requirements for speculations. Too vague and broad. We need some actual way to test the idea - a model, specific predictions. Arguing against Popper isn’t an acceptable substitute, and should be a separate discussion.

I disagree. There is no interference pattern because it’s just one electron. But there is interference, and the electron will hit the screen only in a spot that corresponds to an interference maximum. That the electron might not land along its classical trajectory (i.e. not the m=0 location) is IMO remarkable. And yes, this experiment has been done, in showing that the interference pattern shows up after repeated single electrons passing through the double slit.

"he doesn't say how he knows" And neither did you.

Or just someone who is informed. What is that "decent wage"? On average across the United States, a high school teacher working in a public school earns $65,930 a year. The average occupation in the U.S. that requires at least a college degree pays $92,175 a year – according to government labor force data for May 2019. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2020/09/29/states-with-the-most-underpaid-teachers/42699495/ (as you note, teaching often requires other courses beyond just a college degree)

Let's say a person on a planet in space is in frame O, and a rocketship is carrying a passenger in frame O' The rocketship (O') is traveling at speed v with respect to O They want to look at an event that's taking place (an explosion on an asteroid) at point x and time t in the O frame. They would use the Lorentz transform to find the location (x', t') in the O' frame. Notice that the details of the motion of the asteroid (it's moving at speed w with respect to O) doesn't matter. We know it's at point x at time t

It's more of an authoritarian/narcissistic thing, perhaps popularized recently in the US. I'm sure if other dictator/dictator wannabes (or their disciples) get voted out of office outside the US, some of them would try the same tactic. You are glossing over the controversy. One needs to look at the details more carefully. The Soviets "won" on the third try at the last three seconds, which never should have happened. Lots of shenanigans involved to get to that point. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1972_Olympic_Men's_Basketball_Final#Controversy

If the body is at rest in O', then it is moving at v with respect to O But since the transform is essentially looking at a snapshot, the speed of the object doesn't matter if we are just transforming a single point described by (x,t) in O and finding its coordinates in O' Or you can get the transform the function x(t) and get x'(t') (this would have the object's velocity information in it)

Depends also on your reference year Real GDP or Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at constant (2011-12) prices … First Revised Estimate of GDP for 2019-20 of ₹ 145.69 lakh crore. https://statisticstimes.com/economy/country/india-gdp.php Matches up pretty well.

Or you can use the country’s own currency, the rupee

The x and t are the coordinates in the O frame, and v is the relative speed of the two frames. x and t can have any value; they are unrelated to v. edit: xpost with MigL
