Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•hey #fediverse, what is your favorite group of movies or shows that are in the same universe?English
6·1 day agoBreaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
My Italian grandmother taught me to break the spaghetti. Also, my Italian grandfather fought for the Allies in WW1, coming to the US in 1923 the last year before the xenophobic, 1924 anti-immigration bill was passed essentially cutting off immigration. He came with his pregnant sister through many trials on a long boat cruise to re-unite her with her husband who was already living in the US. So by 1940 my Italian grandmother was supporting the US where she had lived for over a decade. Please do not make assumptions about people’s Italian grandmothers.
BTW my grandfather was a bit of a bad-ass, he served in the Arditi, Italian shock-troops who specialized in explosives and close quarter combat with edged weapons. He taught me to shoot a rifle when I was 7!

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Popular science / understanding of science by non-scientists is nothing but religion.English
2·8 days agoLike all human endeavors, science is imperfect and often fails us. Yet still it is the best system we have for learning how the world works. And when it does work it is very powerful. Look at for instance the Michelson-Morley experiment to find the ether. When this experiment produced negative results it upended our understanding of electromagnetism and caused a revolution in science. Scientific progress can be slow, but learning from our failures is built into the system.

12·10 days agoImagine if religion had to adhere to the scientific method. All claims need to be peer reviewed and reproducible. Seems like a pretty big difference to me.

Einstein was not sure if the universe was expanding, contracting or static. He famously had a constant he could use to change this:
"…Einstein’s cosmological constant, is a coefficient that Albert Einstein initially added to his field equations of general relativity.
Einstein introduced the constant in 1917 to counterbalance the effect of gravity and achieve a static universe, which was then assumed. Einstein’s cosmological constant was abandoned after Edwin Hubble confirmed that the universe was expanding."

Technology@lemmy.world•Passkeys Explained: The End of PasswordsEnglish
1·26 days agoOk I see a lot if discussion on this topic but no one seems to have mentioned the main feature of the spec that makes them phishing resistant: presence detection. This is what makes FIDO resistant to credential replay. The spec is not perfect but it prevents most common phishing attacks.
