Comment Re:Not a Paradox (Score 1) 42

I'm pretty sure it's the division between the "shut up and calculate" point of view, and the one which seeks to /explain/ the rules for the calculations.
Quantum *mechanics* is pretty well accepted: it works under a great many circumstances!
It's also reviled as an *explanation*: it's hard to generalize the rules, and interpreting them in any palatable way (as, for example, explaining what is an observer and what it means to make an observation) is apparently impossible. Thus the enduring presence of people who are bringing back objections that the "shut up and calculate" response is a poor one. See, e.g. Carroll, Barandes, et alia.
Few physicists are happy with the Copenhagen interpretation, for the reason you mentioned and for many others. However, I note that you clearly have not given an alternative interpretation.

Comment Re:That's not the Efficient Market Theory (Score 2) 57

But this weeks movements in the stock market in no way disproves market efficiency or the wisdom of passive/index investing. To the contrary, I haven't seen any geniuses pop up saying "I told you last week that this was going to happen, and I made a ton of money shorting NVDA".

That's good. You apparently haven't followed the insanity of Fibonacci trading on, e.g., SeekingAlpha.

Comment Re:New Privacy Policy Today - Give us your Data (Score 1) 47

Subaru just pushed out a new version of their app that contains a privacy policy that explicitly allows them to harvest the data and sell it to 3rd party companies. So, if you want to use the features of the vehicle that Subaru sold you on, you must give up your right to privacy and allow Subaru to profit from your personal information.

I've been a big fan of Subaru vehicles over the years, but the news in the last 5 years or so of their egregious data-harvesting is a huge turn-off, as is the lack of physical controls in their central consoles. Perhaps I'll break the Subaru tradition I've sort of bought into.
Are any features in the app considered "must-have"s?
