Bumping this because I'm curious and I want in on the meme. I saw "Von Neumann universes" and my nose started bleeding a bit. Conceptually that wasn't even a a very difficult idea (very very large finite numbers related to cardinality or similar), I just wasn't familiar with the jargon/motivation.

Well, it depends what kind of teleportation, if it's transporter to transporter it's relatively easy. You vaporise the guy transmit his make up at the speed of light and 3d print him at the other side.
Transporter to anywhere else you need to break a few laws.

If we somehow could ignore physics we could build you a teleporting device and you could teleport from glory hole to glory hole and get all that dick you crave, OP

Is sociology a science? Be honest /sci/
Social science sure.
As far as I know sociology is just psychology on a large scale.
>>7653546
No because it lacks a predictive aspect in a quantitative sense. Chemists and physicists can predict outcomes down to multiple decimal points.
Sociologists cannot accurately predict outcomes due to there being to many extraneous factors involved. They should be treated the same as the tarot card readers and astrologers.

Imagine you are taking this photo. After you do it, you look to the landscape. How would you see it if we saw in 3D?
>>7653502
You do see in 3d. You have two inputs, one from each eye. The brain isn't a rasterizer, it doesn't blend into a flat image. All the preprocessing it does includes that depth information that's an inherent consequence of binocular vision.

So is this where EEs, or at least people who aren't dumb like me when it comes to circuits, hang out?
Because I have this problem: I have two loads, both about 50 Ohm, and I want the sum of power on both to be roughly constant (about 0.5 W -- sourced from a programmable PSU). I want to be able to change the relative distribution of the power across these two loads reasonably quickly -- within 1 ms.
How do I do this? Plus I need to control it via a PC (i.e., the distribution changes and is not know a priori), so something Arduino (or mcu in general) - based would be ideal.
I attempted what I attached in the pic -- switching an N-channel MOSFET with PWM. It seems to work reasonably well, the PWM is going at 250 kHz (both the same output but one is inverted) BUT, it seems, the PWM interferes with other instruments -- this is thing is part of a physics experiment. When I set the PWM duty cycle to something other than 0% or 100%, I see spurious signals all over the place on the rest of the instrumentation. Even when I disconnect the programmable PSU and short the wires (but not when I just leave them hanging -- something I don't understand at all). I suspect that the unshielded wires leading to the load (about a meter) act as an antenna, but the frequency still seems rather low.
(I tried lowering the PWM frequency to 125 kHz with not much effect. I cannot go much lower than that because there are actual processes that I measure happening at <50 kHz and I don't want the load to appear modulated.)
So, is there some reasonably simple circuit that can accomplish this? Or am I just doing something really stupid? My ideal solution would be: "there is an IC for that".
Thanks.

oh, ignore that 5 V on the PSU, that's just the drawing program being dumb

Examining the published "proof" that Homogenization is a good algorithm for temperature processing.
"Quantifying the effect of urbanization on U.S. Historical Climatology Network temperature records"
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2012JD018509/full
>>7644812
>>>hoisted on their own petard
>>funny you say that, because I just happened to pull up the paper you mentioned. key takeaways:
>>According to these classifications, urbanization accounts for 14–21% of the rise in unadjusted minimum temperatures since 1895 and 6–9% since 1960.
> We look at tampered data and surprise! shrunk the UHI
FTFY
Smoking gun, #1. Pic related. See Fig 3 from the paper, "TOB adjusted" minimum (night) differences between urban and rural data. Black lines for station pairing values. From 1895 to 1960 these values are mostly negative. Yes, that means that the urban minimum (night) temperature data is COLDER than the rural data. Despite the fact that the UHI temp difference is generally strongest between urban and rural minimums (night), the urban being larger. This demonstrates that the TOB adjustments are largely bogus. This is terrible science at best. It is essentially physically impossible.
>>The USHCN version 2 homogenization process effectively removes this urban signal such that it becomes insignificant during the last 50–80years.
> The TOB "adjustments" violate physics; but effectively cools the distant past, creating an increased but fake warming trend.
FTFY
>>7653428
>>7644812
>>And here's the real kicker. What was it you said?
>>7644812
>>the algorithm does not distinguish between rural and urban temp stations...homogenization will normalize to urban stations, Read: add UHI.
>Well it turns out the authors had thought of that possibility, just like good scientists who care about robust methodology should.
Really. Why did you ignore the supplementary material?
Pic related. Fig S-2 in the Supplementary material of the paper, and Smoking gun #2. This graph supposedly "proves" that the homogenization adjustments don't bring in UHI, because using just rural temps works just as well as also using urban temps. But is this true? Remember homogenization "adjusts" the station temp value to the gengeral "trend." But the trend of the majority of rural stations is negative (see the figure for randomly chosen rural temps). Yet the chosen paired rural stations do not have a negative trend. Why? The algorithm looks at all stations (urban and rural) to decide the "correct" trend. In recent years, large numbers of rural stations have been eliminated, there are more and more UHI tainted stations. Thus the trend is UHI tainted, so homogenization chooses the "correct" rural station, the one that most closely matches UHI urban stations. Tampering data with UHI by proxy is still tampering data with UHI.
Overall, using UHI tainted data to define the trend is nothing but Goal-seeked algorithms; it's bad science at best. This fundamental flaw is the hallmark of data tampering. Something a "bad scientist" would do.

The NOAA/Zeke are using ridiculous TOB adjustments which yield physically impossible results for the more distant past. See pic for an example of actually deleting the data with bad TOB (reset in afternoon); the correct approach to dealing with data errors, you remove them. The rate of warming is miniscule. (Do you seriously think that in 1930, Sally Brown and her other urbanites always reset their thermometer right before the hottest time of the day?).
>nb4 evil denier graph
Try facts and logic for once.
>>7653439
>>7644812
Zeke and company rely on general definitions of rural and urban areas instead of looking at the actual conditions (micro-environments) of the temperature stations. The latter is what really counts. If the station is close to an air conditioner belching out hot air, it doesn't matter if the station is supposedly a "rural" station. Accounting for micro-environments is what a "good scientist" would do. See pic. Notice that the specific UHI, nearly doubles the temperature growth rate. And NOAA data tampering makes it even worse!

So I'm going through my Biology textbook, we're currently doing animals. This isn't even something I'm supposed to answer, but it bugged me when I read it and didn't understand it.
The question is: "Under which conditions would you expect a bilaterally symmetrical animal not to exhibit cephalization and why?"
Even though it's not something my class is even supposed to do, it's confusing me because I always thought bilateral symmetry gave rise to cephalization. I didn't realize there was any bilaterally symmetrical organism that wasn't cephalized
In dark conditions my friend
Bump for interest.
