That's a useful analogy, cheers!

Thank you for the heads-up, it is quite cheap indeed. I noticed that some of the newsgroups unfortunately have much spam, so I'll see if I'm really interested in subscribing. But some are moderated, luckily.

Fantastic explanation, thank you! Now I understand the difference between "server" and "group". I finally managed to subscribe now.

For anyone in my same position:

  • Create an account on news.eternal-september.org
  • Add that newsgroup on Thunderbird (Accounts panel, add new account, and so on)
  • It's important to tick "Always request authentication" on the Server Settings for that newsgroup account
  • Then you can right-click on that account in the folder list and choose "Subscribe". You'll be asked for your eternal-september username and password.
  • The subscription window has a search function to search for the newsgroup you want to subscribe to.

Done!

Thanks @tal again very much!

[Solved thanks to @tal. See instructions below.]

I'd like to subscribe and occasionally post to some usenet newsgroup like sci.physics or sci.physics.research. It's difficult! I tried to simply enter "sci.physics" in Thunderbird's Newsgroup reader, but apparently it doesn't work simply like that... Even subscribing to news.eternal-september.org didn't help – I think my understanding of providers and groups is very confused.

Could anyone kindly help?

Thanks for sharing these sad news. Understandable that they need a break.

Incidentally, anyone wants to recommend to Murata & ONE to open a Fediverse account?

Brilliant, well-written, and inspiring. Waiting for the upcoming parts!

You don't solve fascism by bowing down. But of course one can wait for another population to solve it for them.

My bad! Will delete my comment

I don't understand why they keep saying "the Trump admin is doing this", "the Trump admin is doing that", and so on. It isn't the Trump admin: it's the majority of USA citizens that's doing this and that. They voted it. They're the first responsible and guilty. Each and every single person in that majority.

This is quite new. Just wanted to share. (The link is from Sci-Hub, so the whole thing seems legit).

Edit: but, if I'm getting it right, they're just replacing paywalls with another paywall?

 

Does anyone have some thinkfan setting for Thinkpad X1E4 (X1 Extreme gen 4) to share? Cheers!

[Mod: not sure if this kind of question fits this community; please delete if it doesn't and accept my apologies]

Here's a little physics riddle. It's really meant as a moment of self-reflection for physics teachers (I invite you to compare what answers you'd give within Relativity Theory).

We're in the context of Newtonian mechanics.

There are three small bodies. In the inertial coordinate system (t, x, y, z), we know the following about the three bodies (at a given instant of time):

  • The first has mass 3 kg
  • The second has velocity (1, 0, 0) m/s
  • The third has momentum (2, 0, 0) kg⋅m/s

Now consider a new coordinate system (t', x', y', z') related to the first by the following transformation (a Galileian boost):

t' = t, x' = x - u⋅t, y' = y, z' = z with u = 1 m/s

Questions:

  • What is the mass of the first body in the new coordinate system?
  • What is the velocity of the second body in the new coordinate system?
  • What is the momentum of the third body in the new coordinate system?

Can you give definite answers to these three questions, and motivate your answers with simple physical principles? Note that by "definite answer" I don't necessarily mean an answer with a definite numerical value.

"On September 12, 2024, Lieff Cabraser and co-counsel at Justice Catalyst Law filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against six commercial publishers of academic journals, including Elsevier, Springer Nature, Taylor and Francis, Sage, Wiley, and Wolters Kluwer, on behalf of a proposed class of scientists and scholars who provided manuscripts or peer review, alleging that these publishers conspired to unlawfully appropriate billions of dollars that would otherwise have funded scientific research."
