  • Yes, and introductory geometry courses teach students how to do uniform scaling far before they teach them axis-based because it's better illustrative of the concepts of similarity and congruence

  • The scaled down rectangle should be narrower; it's not scaled in this diagram, it's squished.

    (Yes I know you can 'scale' objects on one axis but that's usually not how it's taught on an introductory level. Standard scaling assumes object similarity, which is not present in the diagram's 'scaled' rectangle.)

  • They do buy each other's a whole lot though, and they've been relying on subsidized, cheap oil to send it overseas to each other, and to the end consumer as well

  • Local police also aren't generally the best to contact over federal offenses. If it's not immediately actionable, they tend to lose interest and just shove the paperwork onto the "when we get around to it" pile

  • Iconic Wow! Signal May Finally Have An Explanation (It’s Still Not Aliens)

    Jump

  • tl;dr the signal appears to have been from a cold hydrogen cloud "resonating" off of radiation bursts; namely, those emitted by neutron stars. The stronger the burst through the cloud, the louder the signal on equipment. The WOW! signal appears to have been the result of a particularly powerful event, but by observing the same/similar (?) gas cloud(s), they've been able to spot signals with the same signature, albeit weaker due to being hit by less rare (and less powerful) phenomena.

    Some clarification might be needed on whether it's a specific cloud that produces this signal, or if any cold hydrogen clouds are capable of it. I couldn't seem to find any in the article itself. Maybe there's something in the published research paper that provides further information.

  • Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say

    Jump

  • That's really good to know, and not how I thought the system worked previously. I thought instances were responsible for all vote aggregation and simply reported totals to each other at regular intervals, plus submitting comments/edits from users which are more obviously public

  • Y'know, that's fair. I think I misspoke, and meant to say that the admins of your instance can see your IP but not the admins of another (assuming you're not self hosting on your home PC without a VPN), but I'm not 100% sure that's true because I've never looked at the protocol.

    If every interaction is already public on the backend/API level, then simply not showing the info to users is just a transparency issue.

    The more I'm thinking about this, the more I believe it's a cultural/expectations thing. On websites like Tumblr, all of your reblogs and likes are public info, but it's very up front about that. Social media like Facebook, IG, and sites like Discord, it's the same; you can look through the list of everyone who reacted.

  • Data is not suddenly public just because some people have access to it. Data is public when it's available for anyone to look at. Privacy is almost always going to be a trust issue on some level, and very few things are possible to do truly anonymously. Some data will always be available to someone in a position where it's possible to abuse. Instance admins can see your IP address. Should that be available for everyone to see?

    Jump

  • I mean, that's already true and why the federation model is used in the first place. If another instance can't be trusted, you can disconnect your own from it (extremely easy if you self-host, if you are a standard member of a larger instance it might require convincing)

  • I'm pretty sure the traffic for the ads still gets sent to your device over the Internet, it's just that the ad blocker keeps it from rendering in your browser.

  • So glad we let the leader of that country into the US Congress, let him speak his fascist diatribe, and leave freely. That opportunity should have been used to turn him in to the ICC, but instead we see whinging civility politics over the protests held just outside.

  • A lot of HOAs resist change by requiring an absurd supermajority of votes to actually change anything, sometimes unanimous. Granted, if you can manage to get everyone together to amend just that one part of the charter, the rest of the change comes much easier

  • How do I pronounce "Kamala"?

    Jump

  • I don't think it would be correct to use the A in apple for any of the As in Kamala. It's more of the A with an open mouth than constrained to the front. The A in calm is much closer imo

    I should really be using the IPA to make my point here but I don't know all the letters

  • Rule/life balance

    Jump

  • Ah well talking shit about work is different than actually changing your primary focus away from it. It's just a form of small talk and they generally change tune when you actually start doing stuff about it in your life. Not coming in on a day when the manager mass-texted us that the building was out of power? I didn't know, but apparently everyone else still came in because "it might have come on later" and I guess I was just supposed to show up out of some distorted form of solidarity?? I get that others needed the hours on their check anyways but I didn't see the point personally.

    They'll find shit to talk about. If you decide the place is too toxic and work to cut your hours, that culture of complaining often shifts to include you, especially when you're not there.

    Maybe I'm too bitter from my previous job but good gravy am I glad to have quit.
