    Trump says he’ll sign an executive order to enact a 10% global tariff

  • ... so the US is constantly getting ripped off by trade deals, but somehow is still the richest country the world has ever known... make it make sense..

  • Quantum teleportation demonstrated over existing fiber networks — Deutsche Telekom’s T‑Labs used commercially available Qunnect hardware for the demo, claims 90% average accuracy

    Jump

  • As someone who also doesn't fully understand quantum entanglement.. is it that when two particles are entangled and far apart, when we observe them they will always be in the same state? Is there any way to manipulate that state? If so, it seems like it would be pretty straight forward to use it for faster than light communications.

    Jump

  • I had a thought the other day that I'm not nearly financially literate enough to know how true it is, but with all the talk about stocks going up, couldn't that be an effect of the dollar going down?

  • UK House of Lords Votes to Extend Age Verification to VPNs

    Jump

  • I will say that I don't live in the UK, so maybe it works differently. I'm assuming internet plans include some kind of service contract you have to sign, and minors can't legally sign contracts without parental consent. So every internet connection is the responsibility of the adult who did sign it. If kids are going to be using it then it is their responsibility to put parental controls on their network and devices.

    But like the other response said, its not actually about protecting kids. Basically, if a politician ever says those words, its almost certainly an attempt to take away freedom.

  • What happened to the assumtion that people on the internet are all adults. No kid is signing a contract for a phone or internet plan. They are on the internet through the permission of an adult who has. Its the responsibility of that adult to make sure they don't do anything they shouldn't. Don't make it other people's problem that you can't control your kids. We shouldn't try to kid-proof the world.

  • Wasn't the whole point of that announcement to make the stock price of the company that owns the patent for Tylenol plummet so that some donor to this administration could buy the company cheaply?

  • Just Days From SLS Rollout, Here’s the Latest Update for NASA's Artemis 2 Mission

    Jump

  • I know this is just semantics, but is it really "beyond earth's orbit"? If the moon orbits the earth, then isn't the moon still in earth's orbit?

  • Just Days From SLS Rollout, Here’s the Latest Update for NASA's Artemis 2 Mission

    Jump

  • It just doesn't feel as exciting as it should be. It feels more like a distraction from everything else. With all the cuts to NASA's budget, I'm just waiting for them to cancel the whole Artemis program..

  • California's ban on openly carrying guns is unconstitutional, appeals court rules

    Jump

  • Most mass shootings are done with a rifle, which is a bit more difficult to conceal. And yeah if everything goes to plan for the shooter and they keep it concealed then it would only be a matter of seconds, but there's always a chance that cops, given the opportunity for guns to be something to be on the lookout for, will be able to step in sooner.

  • California's ban on openly carrying guns is unconstitutional, appeals court rules

    Jump

  • If open carry is legal then any psycho could commit mass murder at any second, and no cops or anybody could do anything until after they start opening fire. On the other hand, if it is illegal then cops could step in at the first sight of a gun.

  • U.S. military willing to attack “designated terrorist organizations” within America, general says

    Jump

  • Is this a declaration of civil war? We all know their use of the term "terrorist organizations" is bullshit, so they are really just saying that they are going to start killing US citizens without due process on American soil. This general needs to be court martialed. He is not upholding his oath to the constitution.

  • Timing dark energy

    Jump

  • I guess that's what im getting at. What are the timestamps?

    If we see light from really far away, and it has red-shifted, then are we assuming the stretching is consistent for the whole distance or is there more stretching at the beginning or end of the trip? If the expansion is accelerating then more of the red-shift happened recently when it got closer to us since farther away also means older.

    My thought was what if most of the red-shift happened when it was still far away from us thus meaning it happened a long time ago.

    Like you mentioned some kind of timestamp would tell us, I just don't know what those timestamps would be. I'm sure there's something obvious I'm missing, but the only way I can think of to measure the difference in red-shift from the same light source at different points in its journey is to measure it from two vastly distant perspectives.

    I guess if you measure red-shift from closer objects and compare it to the farther objects, and its not linear based on distance. Accelerated expansion would mean closer objects have a higher ratio of red-shift to distance than the farther objects?

  • Timing dark energy

    Jump

  • Yes that is what I've always heard which is why I asked this question. I was hoping for bit more detail. My assumption is that we measure expansion through red-shift, and distance doesn't matter in that measurement? My thought was that red-shift tells you that light waves have been stretched out, but how do you know when or where most of that stretching occurred?
