Selective breeding is an important component of evolution. But evolution is certainly not just selective breeding. Population diversity whether it's through random chance, genetic drift, horizontal transfer etc. is also a key component

The argument doesn't necessarily go the other way though. Not treated well associated with less stability does not necessarily imply that women being treated equally leads to a stable society. If East Germany had treated their women wo

Some people consider the standard model to be a tape job. It can be modified to fit the predictions. But will provide any insights? Thats not necessarily the case. Ability to predict does not equal understanding

When the media fails to do its job then the people have to do it for them. Of course there will be condtradictory information coming in because the media has completely failed to provide a source of credible information. I'm not throw

More information has come out linking the violent folks to the ruling party. The farmers have said it's not their people. Indeed the leader of the group that entered Red Fort is a known BJP. There's a video of him running away whe

What you state is not "edge of chaos", it's simply the non-equilibrium steady state. There's no connection really. Non-equilibrium states can be chaotic, non-chaotic, or at the edge of chaos etc.

Here's a longer article by Thurston on the same ideas https://arxiv.org/abs/math/9404236 . Highly recommend irrespective of how involved you are with mathematics.

It's newtons method that he rediscovers. Are people not taught numerical methods these days? We learned it quite early in the much more general context of finding zeros.

I don't even know where to begin rebutting your argument. Most of the stuff we actually know, actionable knowledge that has withstood the test of time, comes from small animals, including C. elegans, Drosophila, Aplysia and others. Thi

Unless it's in Math. If a Math breakthrough makes it to the popular media then it's most likely a very big breakthrough.

Can you define groundbreaking? In a proper historical context, one might say the same about the likes of Newton, Euler etc. Mathematical ideas don't just happen out of nowhere. Everyone is inspired by something that was done before. So

Absolutely! The only way this will ever change is if the customers decide to just not tip. Yes, in a few restaurants, especially in a big city servers get paid better in tips. But I bet that is not true for the vast majority.

I've been using reMarkable for more than a year now. It's a very mediocre product with major software problems, BUT, I still will not trade mine with anyone for one simple reason: it allows me to disconnect and think. iPad, surfac

That's too bad :(. Although, I admire your attitude of focusing on improving the iOS apps rather than branching out.

Language is one of the biggest reasons. India, Indonesia and Africa are all countries with scores of different languages. Some of these are often languages in which research is conducted and communicated. Having a region specific preprint s

What happened exactly? Nobody's arguing that Indian planes crossed the LoC. But did they really bomb all the terrorist camps? Were the terrorists really killed? Were there really no civilian casualties? How do we know? In fact, how do

Is a CEOs job really to start new stuff? As someone points out below, Balmer also started stuff that cost the company, windows phone, Skype etc. So I disagree that a CEO should be measured by only things he started that were successful. I t
