Where did the false "equal transit-time" explanation of lift originate from?

It's supposedly a "widely circulated" false claim that wings generate lift because of their asymmetric shape, forcing air above to travel faster so that they meet up on the trailing edge at the sam...

🙏 Mon essai "Tintin au-delĂ  des idĂ©es reçues" est l'un des 11 ouvrages indispensables de tintinologie de la dĂ©cennie 2014-2024, selon le mĂ©tatintinologue Olivier Roche. Merci Ă  lui !
📖 Son livre "Tintin. Bibliographie d'un mythe" (tome 2) vient de paraütre aux Impressions nouvelles.

Une bibliographie du mythe Tintin qui permet de nous y retrouver dans la plĂ©thore d’ouvrages hergĂ©ens

Dans un rĂ©cent article, nous Ă©crivions que les tintinophiles ne savent plus oĂč donner de la tĂȘte, car un flot de publications touchant de plus ou moins prĂšs l’univers d’HergĂ© dĂ©ferle rĂ©guliĂšrement en librairies (1), mĂȘme 40 annĂ©es aprĂšs la mort du crĂ©ateur  de Tintin ! Il y a dĂ©jĂ  dix ans, Olivier Roche, le secrĂ©taire de l’association Les Amis de HergĂ© avait cependant permis de nous orienter dans ce raz-de-marĂ©e Ă©ditorial, avec l’aide de Dominique Cerbelaud. (2) Seul aux commandes, cette fois-ci, il complĂšte cette essentielle bibliographie raisonnĂ©e et critique, oĂč l’érudition rivalise avec l’humour, en dissĂ©quant 300 nouveaux livres ou numĂ©ros de pĂ©riodiques, publiĂ©s entre 2014 et la fin 2024, consacrĂ©s entiĂšrement Ă  Georges Remi dit HergĂ© ou aux « Aventures de Tintin »

No evidence that personality traits are revealed during ambiguous image testing

A pair of psychologists in the U.K. report that there is no scientific basis for the idea that personality traits influence what people see first in ambiguous images on the internet. In their study, published in the journal PeerJ, Richard Wiseman and Caroline Watt used a crowdsourcing platform to test the theory.

Ah yes, the mighty ESP32 scandal: a non-existent "backdoor" that sent tech forums into a tizzy, only to be #debunked faster than your last IoT device update 😜. Turns out the only #vulnerability here was your gullibility, and ModSecurity's cryptic error messages đŸ›ĄïžđŸ”.

The ESP32 "backdoor" that wasn't | Dark Mentor LLC

This post refutes the claim that researchers found a "backdoor" in ESP32 Bluetooth chips. What the researchers highlight (vendor-specific HCI commands to read & write controller memory) is a common design pattern found in other Bluetooth chips from other vendors as well, such as Broadcom, Cypress, and Texas Instruments. Vendor-specific commands in Bluetooth effectively constitute a "private API", and a company's choice to not publicly document their private API does not constitute a "backdoor".
