That's fine as long as it can self reference.

InnerScientist ,

This is slighlty different though, we only know the two-way speed of light, not the one way speed of light.

We only know that this trip, to and back, takes x seconds. We cannot prove that the trip to the mirror takes the same length of time as the way back.

The special theory of relativity for example does not depend on the one way speed of light to be the same as the two way speed of light.

Wiki

And further down:

Unfortunately, if the one-way speed of light is anisotropic, the correct time dilation factor becomes {\displaystyle {\mathcal {T}}={\frac {1}{\gamma (1-\kappa v/c)}}}, with the anisotropy parameter κ between -1 and +1.[17] This introduces a new linear term, {\displaystyle \lim _{\beta \to 0}{\mathcal {T}}=1+\kappa \beta +O(\beta ^{2})} (here {\displaystyle \beta =v/c}), meaning time dilation can no longer be ignored at small velocities, and slow clock-transport will fail to detect this anisotropy. Thus it is equivalent to Einstein synchronization.

InnerScientist ,

The very accurate clock needed in this case is physically impossible as far as we know, there's no way to measure it as far as our current understanding of physics goes.

Though if you can figure out a way you should publish a paper about it.

InnerScientist ,

It is impossible to synchronize the clocks in such a way that you can actually measure the speed of light with it due to time dilation unless you define beforehand how fast the speed of light is to calculate that time dilation.

See also This or, more accessibly "Synchronization conventions"

InnerScientist , (edited )

And to calculate the offset needed to get them all synced up involves calculating time dilation, which involves knowing/assuming the speed of light.
These synchronizations work just as well if the two way speed of light is different than the one way speed of light.

To know the speed of light you assume the speed of light is c, but you're trying to calculate c so all those clocks aren't verified synced.

Just read through the wiki or Harvard's books if you'd like, this is an unsolved "problem" in physics for a reason or do you think no one cares about how fast c is?

doesn't support multi tab browsing

What do you mean? Having multiple tabs open at once?

InnerScientist ,

They do have a tab bar now, though it's recent.

InnerScientist ,

In the EU at least Samsung can't make a fuss either.

InnerScientist ,

IANAL: The short of it is that unless Samsung can prove that it's the software's fault that the malfunction is there, they have to repair it.
A blown efuse is just as much proof as the 'warranty broken if removed' stickers, which is none.

There's lot's of cases online where Samsung/resellers try to stop people but as long as you are persistent and don't just accept them not wanting to fix it they will repair it.

There's also some cases of going through the small claims court to handle this (which doesn't cost anything if you win)

More about warranty

Also: This ONLY applies to the normal EU warranty which you always have, any extended warranty does not need to repair your device if you've rooted it.

InnerScientist ,

How does a search engine being offline interrupt a device flashing?

InnerScientist ,

Surely it can wait, right? How likely could it possibly be that it breaks when you least expect it?

InnerScientist ,

It doesn't though? IANAL but as far as I can tell you can fork, modify and redistribute it as long as you provide the source code to your users.

It's AGPL-3.0 so.... https://www.tldrlegal.com/license/gnu-affero-general-public-license-v3-agpl-3-0

InnerScientist ,

Not yet ready for daily use!

We were on the verge of greatness, we were this close.

Cutout.Pro, an AI-powered visual design platform, leaked 20M records, including email and IP addresses, names and salted MD5 password hashes, which have then been broadly distributed. (haveibeenpwned.com)

Haha, brand new company with MD5 password hashes. Maybe they oughta consult about securities with their/other AIs more often. Hopefully, nobody did anything naughty on the site....

InnerScientist ,

Iirc rainbow tables are currently useless due to good seasoning salt.

Though password crackers can take a known pattern to drastically increase speed it would still have to do the whole calculation for every password.
