Actually it's much better than most of the videos made with phones and handheld cameras. You know, the ones that shake all the time, and when something awesome happens, just point at the floor until it's all over?

Germany was seriously fragmented for most of the history - during WW1/WW2 they must have been overcompensating for their past.

I know it's insensitive given the casualties. But I'm sick of these vertical videos. Because of the phones, we will eventually have to mount our screens and TV's sideways to watch most of the clips.

Nice, but why do they hold frisbees if they are not going to do anything with them? Also, what's "American seesaw"? I think you mean "Entire world except South Korea".

16. orion 76 days ago on video Computer program reveals invisible motion in video
I'm very skeptical... are they using raw video from very good cameras? Because if you take a compressed video stream or a bad camera with a lot of noise, the flicker and artifacts would overpower the microscopic sub-pixel motion.

23. orion 93 days ago on video 60,000 bottle caps later...One awesome wall.
#6 your eyes deceive you. A quick division of height by cap diameter, or a quick glance at the end of the video tells you it's about 100 caps high. So a single "square" with the height of the room contains ~10000 caps. As the wall is much wider than tall, it comes to several times that. It could easily be more than 60k.

26. orion 99 days ago on video The voyager satellite witnesses the death of a star
Scientifically completely wrong. At such scales, things take millions to cool down - sun can't suddenly go black, where would all the heat go? And pieces can't just slowly blow off, gravity is still there, and when the star dies, the inner parts collapse, and the outer parts do get blown away by the pressure of the light inside, but that is a violent explosion, not crumbling of ashes just like some common Voldemort.

52. orion 249 days ago on video 10 Useless Human Body Parts
Actually, the body hair is useful. It does provide some thermal insulation and prevents chafing. The appendix holds a reserve of digestive bacteria that repopulate the intestine after bowel problems. And male nipples are unavoidable, because male-specific genetic material is very small and can only enforce minor body changes, not a complete redesign.
27
53. orion 251 days ago on video Guy shows the way to a cat
I read somewhere that only primates recognize pointing gestures (the concept of showing direction) without training, others just look at the finger. Still, cats and dogs can be trained to partially understand it. I think he just startled the cat, or it's even just a nice timing coincidence.

I'm disappointed, I wanted to see the finished cooled off thing.
#5 it will catch on fire (even the parts above the surface) and get charred. You can see that even ice does not melt and evaporate quickly enough to create an explosion or even a violent reaction like hot oil and water.

70. orion 268 days ago on video How the internet can read your mind
#7 the keyword you are looking for is data mining. It's basically glorified statistics, throwing all the parameters in, looking for correlations and separating the data into clusters that have something in common. When new data arrives, you just compare with the categories and you get a prediction.

#4 I like it as an art form but can you enjoy it in person without casting shadows?
Its variant of building projection is less problematic in this way.
27
73. orion 278 days ago on video Curious Displays
The problem with all of these projection installations is they are useless. The illusion only works if there's noone in the room, otherwise you create shadows and ruin the experience.

Tecnically you should not define colors for nondiffuse objects. Otherwise you have big problems. If you count specular reflection as having a color, then every glossy black surface is also white (like a piano or a Mercedes).

#(removed comment) Physics helps. Reflection is always darker than the original because only a fraction of the light is reflected. The "water" is overexposed and the "sky" (reflection) is just the right brightness.

Like #1 and #2 said, this is a misleading and childish explanation.
While the spring above the bottom is stretched, it is properly "hanging" on the higher parts of the slinky, its environment is exactly the same as before the top is released. The same holds if there is a tennis ball there. At the moment of release, the forces are unbalanced only for the topmost part. The disturbance then propagates downwards like waves.
If you observe the center of mass, it falls just like any other object. Only the shape of the object changes in a way that some parts remain stationary for a while. Kinda like a falling cat, only the cat's motion is much more complicated.

There's a reason why this never caught on (there were similar technologies for wireless routers out there for years). You need a line-of-sight. Or at least good white or reflective surfaces around. Every time your roommate passes by or you shift your head, the connection drops. It's basically no different than having an optic cable running from your lightbulb to your computer.

Also, people mix up mystical energies, EM field and EM waves.

My old printer printed the page immediately when I clicked it.

And after it's done, it needs the same time to "recover". And the printers at work do the same thing. It also wouldn't turn off with on/off button and fools around for 2m55s every time the power comes back.
