  1. It very much is the same incident.
  2. > Can you see which way a vehicles wheels are pointed when you are standing right in front of it?

    You're moving the goalposts. You said she tried to murder him, she clearly did not. What the officer perceived is another matter.

  3. Ozone doesn't generate ions, ionizers produce ozone, and how much will depend on the device.
  4. With an ionic air purifier.
  5. Fair point. There is actually a site that tracks this, and that post was off the front page for most of its existence:

    https://news.social-protocols.org/stats?id=46361024

  6. The first one is still on the front page.
  7. This website causes my browsers (Chrome/Brave) to use a huge amount of CPU. Firefox handles it better but still has higher CPU usage than I'd expect.
  8. For the past decade or more, the people that drone on about male privilege were arguing conscription would never happen again so it didn't matter. They knew they were telling a lie then, they'll just come up with a new one now.
  9. > The body parsing logic is in react or nextjs, that's my takeaway, is it that incorrect?

    The exploit they were trying to protect against is in React services run by their customers.

  10. RuBep? As ever, the fastest way to get a correct answer on the internet is to post an incorrect one:

    > The Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers Inc., the international governing group for such technology, has designated P1901.1 as the technical designation given to the RuBee technology, which was named RuBee by Visible Assets. "There is no real reason we named it RuBee," said Mr. Stevens. "It actually was named after the song 'Ruby Tuesday.' It just sounded good."

    I'd assume "ZigBee" was also an inspiration.

  11. Fairly sure that's a typo, or he misspoke, given the sentence immediately before says "per year".
  12. Notably, QUIC (and thus HTTP/3) uses UDP instead of a new protocol number for this reason.
  13. Dear God, I hate the way the Windows 11 Start Menu takes slightly too long to open - long enough that I often accidentally close it again. You can actually watch CPU usage increase if you toggle it.
  14. Let's see...

    Marion Donovan appears to have invented a "diaper cover" among other things, her patent then being ignored by several companies. Unfortunate, but I've never heard of whoever supposedly stole credit for that ground-breaking invention either, so it hardly seems relevant. I'd hope in the age of Ali Express and Temu that I don't need to point out how often men's patents get ignored.

    I had heard of Nettie Stevens. Her work was not stolen, she published after Edmund Beecher Wilson.

    Vera Rubin presented the very controversial theory of dark matter. Given that she worked closely with a male collaborator, Kent Ford, who co-authored many of her papers, it seems more likely that their work was overlooked due to initial resistance to the theory itself.

    Lise Meitner was a Jew in Nazi Germany.

    Alice Ball's work seems to have been stolen after she died in isolation in a leprosy colony. I'd never heard of Arthur Dean either.

    I'll stop there as this will take forever otherwise. What you have listed seem to be extremely tenuous as evidence of gender bias - one can quite easily hop on Google and find plenty of examples of stolen inventions, from automatic windscreen wipers to Facebook.

  15. > Ah yes, he just took Rosy's pictures (she doe snot deserve her full nale)

    I took that as an accusation of misogyny and I'm unclear how else it could be interpreted. Watson named her as Dr. R. E. Franklin, so it can't be him that was being impugned.

    Please also note the frothy inability to type - have I replicated that?

    > don't deem worthy

    Deem worthy of what?

    You are demonstrating my point perfectly. You have no interest in what these women did (or did not) do, what their achievements actually were (and they certainly had them), they're simply a totem that you elevate beyond reason as proof of what a Very Nice Guy you are.

    > as if you have them written down on an enemies list

  16. Tell us about how Hedy Lamarr invented Wi-Fi, how Ada Lovelace was the first programmer, how Margaret Hamilton wrote the software for the moon landings, and then repeat this claim.
  17. The only thievery here is yours. Just as we are expected to believe that Ada Lovelace invented programming, Hedy Lamarr invented Wi-Fi, and Margaret Hamilton wrote the software for the Apollo missions all by her lonesome, we must believe this, too. None of it is true, and when this is pointed out, the response is frothing accusations of misogyny that you've so aptly demonstrated.

    Well, froth away. Watson and Crick discovered the structure of DNA and appropriately credited Dr. R. E. Franklin (not "Rosy") in their paper.

  18. > If my supervisor took my data and went on publishing them under his name, not only would I have kicked him in the ass publicly

    Setting your bizarre ranting aside, you appear to have misread - Franklin was the supervisor. It was her PhD student Raymond Gosling who took Photo 51:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo_51

  19. He didn't steal anything. Franklin's PhD student took the famous Photo 51, Franklin was credited in the paper [1], and there's much more besides [2]:

    "We are much indebted to Dr. Jerry Donohue for constant advice and criticism, especially on interatomic distances. We have also been stimulated by a knowledge of the general nature of the unpublished experimental results and ideas of Dr. M. H. F. Wilkins, Dr. R. E. Franklin and their co-workers at King’s College, London."

  20. I did some Googling on your behalf as I remember having something like that but can't reproduce it right now:

    I'd make sure your drivers are up to date before fiddling with Chrome flags though.

  21. We comprehend you perfectly.
  22. The user you replied to said "collective guilt", which implies the former, and you seem to be confirming they were correct and that this side track about "feelings" is just you trying to diminish their point.

    There's no need to lash out, you certainly won't gain anything by doing so.
