nodebb shrunk the image down
You know that clicking the reduced image brings you to the original, right?
-
@tsaukpaetra you do know that after I clicked on the image the full-size version was still scaled down, right?

How did you manage that? :/

@bb36e Remove the

You're about 1538400 pixels short in your estimate.

No, you have that wrong Mother Nature will flush it all away into Arizona bay.
Unlikely. It's mostly sliding northward, and rising up a little bit as it goes, not falling into the ocean.

Anything outside your light cone isn't exerting force on you.
While that would be true, you're forgetting that the whole universe is inside your lightcone.
Just not at the same time
Doesn't quantum entanglement allow "faster than light" "travel"? Thereby, theoretically, all the universe is potentially "inside" any given light cone, right?

@karla shame that doesn't work in the UK. You yanks and your crazy spellaring.
"Unionized" vs. "unionized"?
Or do you mean "unionised" vs. "unionised"?

There are a number of different views on quantum entanglement. As far as I know, all the viewpoints that regard it as something having an instantaneous effect on something else regardless of distance, also prevent the mechanism for being used for faster-than-light communication. It's good for secretly sharing random information but you can't control it in way that allows transferring nonrandom data, so you can't communicate with it.
I mostly subscribe to the view that there isn't anything strange going on at all, it's just a quantum version of the classical conservation laws. If you have a pair of entangled photons and measure one to spin one way, the other one has to spin in the opposite direction simply because of conservation of momentum. They were always spinning in opposite directions, rather than the earlier view that measuring one causes the other to instantly take on the opposite spin. There are certainly cases where this doesn't seem to match reality, like when you start measuring spins along different axes, but I'm only a hobbyist physicist and the description is pretty intuitive to me.

And a "kindergarten" is a place where you can stick them in mud, drench them with water, and even in some cases read or sing to them, all in the hopes that they'll grow up into productive adults.

For the purposes of a light cone, I think it doesn't matter whether the data transfer is nonrandom; the key point is that there could be an effect at all.

No, because no information can be transmitted through QE.

But what's the effect? Suppose we generate a pair of entangled photons. You take one and I take one without looking at them, and then we fly a light-year apart or whatever. I finally look at my photon and notice it's spinning clockwise. You've yet to look at your photon, but I instantly know that yours has to be spinning counter-clockwise, and if you ever look at yours, you'll see it spinning counter-clockwise. There's no cause-effect relationship here as far as light-cones are concerned. It's questionable whether you could even call this a data "transfer".

Whoever made that game deserves to have a controller forcibly fed to them and also forcibly having a controller inserted as a suppository.

@scholrlea They were definitely better back when they were having fun instead of writing for months.

@el_heffe Worst of all: they forgot the screws and Allen key.

@boner Sounds like this person hasn't seen I Wanna Be The Guy, or Cat Mario, or Eversion.

@magus And before today, I did not realize that Cat Mario is called Syoban Adventure, and uses the cheetahman themesong.

I've read the book and I can't work it out either. Maybe the film is terrible?

TRWTF is making a game like that with touchscreen controls.

@anonymous234 I definitely feel like it needs the Cheetahman theme, though.
