You can measure the Doppler shift relative to the cosmic microwave background though

I’m using the microwave background as a reference

A kids book owned by someone who is using the money and fame to campaign to destroy the lives of a bunch of my friends and millions of others.

You can like the book at whatever age idc, but please understand the sentiment that the author should not be getting revenue from those books because they are trying to legally define people out of existence. I’m not a fan of erasing media and, not having read the books, I have no way to be offended by their content, but I do not want Rowling profiting from their sale. Spread pirated digital copies in place of print until it ends up in public domain.

Okay but irrelevant ads is the dream. I’d prefer not to get recommendations at all either. I’ll hear from word of mouth what’s worthwhile to watch, or I’ll look for it myself. Recommendations consistently muddy things up, it makes all modern social media useless, I have no idea how people can put up with it.

I don’t know if there’s a clean way to do this right now, but I’d love to see a software project dedicated to doing this. Once a data set is poisoned it becomes very difficult to un-poison. The companies would probably implement some semi-effective but heavy-handed means of defending against it if it actually affected them, but I’m all for making them pay for that arms race.

Probably not necessarily? Evolution does kind of a bad job at doing things that are beneficial, it just does things that half work some of the time, or does things at random that don’t really hurt us, or does things at random that do hurt us but don’t cause us to instantly drop dead as soon as we’re born.

This feels to me like a thing that half works some of the time. Raw speculation here, but gasping could be to get a bit of oxygen to deal with a dangerous situation, but evolution equated danger with the unexpected so some of us just reflexively gasp when there’s something unexpected. Or maybe it’s something else, who knows.

Hey they said one of.

So that’s what they meant by “fun for the whole family”

Also true, but where does that tie in to a comment saying this is a good thing? Like where did the Jesus freaks come in? We could just as easily be happy about a good thing happening.

You’re not wrong, but why are you bringing that up in response to that?

Could be a tilt shift lens which can distort perspective and make a photo look as if it’s being taken from a slightly different angle. Not sure what to look for to disprove that hypothesis though.

Ah, alright that’s a fair point. Once one of those splits happened then that single life form would have become the common ancestor for all other life. I’m satisfied with that explanation.

Why? To who? How?

Well it’s good to know my schooling might not be a complete waste at least

Well the job market for developers is still pretty tight at the moment. I don’t have the insight to say for sure why (though I have some guesses), but I know that for me and every junior developer I know it’s rough out there.

Number 2.

5 could work if it was refined a bit more.

What if a bunch of the earliest life spontaneously formed by the millions independently in different places? Would we all really have a true single common ancestor then?

Edit: I think there’s been a misunderstanding. I believe that all life on earth came from the same “species”, being the same kind of structure spontaneously generated in the primordial soup, but that there could’ve been a number of those structures that were generated and were all identical to each other. This would mean that any of them could evolve from the same starting point in terms of “design”, but not literally be the exact same object, meaning that we could have a number of origin ancestors that were all identical, and were potentially not an exact one singular living thing.

It’ll be fine. Sharks are older than trees so we can switch to them.
