Yeah all the lead atoms are the same age, whether refined or not. Does refining lead somehow make it radioactive?

Oh agreed. I wouldn’t want to install an OS from a fucking idiot either.
(And I take your point that said idiot may also be a dishonest slime ball.)
blackbrook@mander.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Who do you think was history's greatest villain?3·4 days agoalmost all of them genuinely believed they were being a force for good.
I don’t believe that. Sociopathy is extremely common in those that achieve high levels of power. Most of them used and manipulated others credulity around things being forces for good to increase their own power. For such people getting what they want is their only real criteria for good.
I agree with your last statement though.
I can’t believes he’s intentionally anti-privacy. Occam’s razor suggests he’s instead a fucking idiot.

blackbrook@mander.xyzto Philosophy@lemmy.world•I recently came across a theory from Japan that tries to rethink physics from the standpoint of the observer.English5·5 days agoDoes this person have any peer-reviewed papers? They all seem to be on ResearchGate or academia.edu. According to his profile on the former, his credentials are a bachelor of business administration, and being “founder of SIEL subjectivity intersection emergence lab”. This is not super confidence inducing.
It seems the foundational evidence for his theories is his “Non local EEG-Quantum Experiment” which claims to find correlations between EEGs and the outputs of a distant cloud quantum computer. I haven’t looked at the details but my concern would be that if you look broadly enough for some pattern in data you will certainly find one.

Its just like some dickhead on reddit posting endless bullshit on reddit to amass internet points, except that billionaire points affect the well-being of the real world, which neither the reddit dickhead nor the billionaire really live in or care about.
It needs to run a second process to send all your data back to Microsoft.

Sirloin for flavor over tenderness and richness (fat). If you prepare it correctly and it’s a good quality peice of meat, toughness or dryness shouldn’t be a problem.

The modular jack on the side of the phone is also weird, and those jacks didn’t exist yet.
But which one is which?
