> How bad could it be?

It could suggest that someone vulnerable commit suicide and have that user do it.


> yet didn't the truckers get robbed by the government?

No.

In the end, a few accounts were proactively and temporarily frozen by banks acting on their own, which they could (possibly would) have done due to fintrac [1] requirements.

No.

"Dark" matter refers to something that does not interact at all with photons - not that it scatters too little light.


What evidence do we have that the dark matter isn't interacting _at all_ with light? I would have thought there would be limits in our instruments.


electron volts is a unit of energy. Using E = mc^2, one expresses masses in the equivalent energy quantity. It turns out that electron-volts is a convenient scale for the (energy equivalent) mass for elementary particles -- much better than trying to express the mass in kilograms.


Or energy in Joules, which are around 10^19 bigger. So you'd have the inverse of that everywhere as an inconvenient factor.

As it happens eV works nicely from meV up to TeV for particles in all the most useful contexts, from chemical bonds to particle experiments. You only start getting insanely huge factors when you stop being subatomic.


I may ask a very dumb question, but, in kilograms, how much would it be ?


From FranchuFranchu's comment above, about 10 to the power of -36.


Up until a month ago, when I searched Youtube using the "latest" filter, I could reliably get the latest videos uploaded that were relevant to the search terms. Now, it shows a couple of recently uploaded videos followed by many which are for weeks ago, while I know that many more had been uploaded in the recent days.


44% down since November is a bit more than fluctuation I would think. Still, I agree that today's drop should not be described as a crash.



A modern version using Python is https://reeborg.ca/reeborg.html


One way might be to do like what IDLE does (I think) which is to essentially print the traceback to a string and extract the information.

An alternative is to use https://friendly-traceback.github.io/docs/index.html which gets even more information than Python 3.10 does and is compatible with IPython/Jupyter.


Perhaps a better approach is to click on "favorite" at the top. I personally find it easier than trying to go through my comments history.


Additionally, if you click the timestamp of a comment, you can “favorite” the individual comment!


It’s embarrassing how long it took me to find that button.
