Yes, it's certainly more complicated than most proponents or opposers of it claim. I think that's because they both have a "solution affinity" for their preferred solution. Geoengineering has all sorts of promising ideas

I notice in a lot of writing about climate change that people tend to try to convince the reader that it exists, both you and the article's authors mentioned the lot of scientific evidence. It makes it sound like permanent argument mod

Could have done better using "feet" :P

Are those prices with government subsidies though?

I can't help but not feel sympathy for people like this. Did he sign up for the arming expecting not to be a soldier? Not to kill people? Not to risk physical and mental injury? The job of a soldier is to suffer these problems and infl

Epsilons are almost worse than the floating point errors they try to solve! Now you have to work out a safe epsilon that'll always work and you create even more edge cases. A lot of the programming I do involved numbers that the user i

No disrespect, but you're using weak arguments together with strong assertions that ends up sounding suspicious. Medical research has plenty of mistakes, bad science and fraud. It doesn't matter if it's published in Cell, the

I'm sure the patch will allow them to pass the tests. It'll just reduce driving performance as well.

It's true it's a bit off topic, but I think it's closely related. Both doctors and researchers are causing deaths and neither has any accountability. Doctors are perhaps a bigger problem. In general, they're simply not c

You know, I don't know what to do on the spot when somebody shows offence at my jokes. Apologizing indicates you think you did something wrong and makes an implicit promise to change your behavior (forever!). Not something to instincti

Yep. Austrialians I know are notorious for calling things "gay". I don't think the concept of gayness is going on in their heads, that's just the word they grew up using to make complaints with. This Billy even said that

I think people irrationally get offended by swearing. There's a big difference between "you're gay" meant to insult somebody and "whatever gay shit you want" indicating that they think the content might be too

OK, I understand now.

I know PayPal isn't popular but it's by far the easiest way to accept payments online that I've found. You don't have to live in the US,Canada or EU, which is a weakness of all the new services like Stripe and every othe

Can't you just assume the highest tax rate and pay that on every sale so you don't have to guess the country? Seems like it would save everyone money for a small business like this.

Indeed. I think knowing about science is probably more useful and relevant to the majority of people than trivia. That can be used more generally to distinguish scams and fearmongering from important issues. That more than a couple of perce

I don't understand the value in this. It's some mundane letters somebody wrote to his mother about his daily activities? Is there a subtle meaning in there?

A lot of people are criticizing the author but I know much less about installing things on Linux and quite quickly managed to install another, more conventional forum without any of the problems he mentioned. I just copied the files into a

Aren't pirated content and child pornography just restrictions on free speech that we're blindfolded to? To see why, imagine an advanced other country - so advanced that their economic system doesn't rely on protecting intell

Won't work if the government blocks it. Just like they do with Tor in China.

Spain's ETA reduced its terrorism because of being given some autonomy for its region. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0030438712... There was also the MK in South Africa which did some

If banks weren't run by people but were some kind of natural phenomenon, like say a mineral you can find in the ground, then we wouldn't be able to blame them. Instead we'd blame ourselves for being foolish enough to risk our

The article mentions that this isn't happening here and that's the problem. It's not so severe that families die off but is severe enough to cause a lot of ongoing casualties.

With at least 10,000 people he must be sitting on an amazing pile of data. Has he published it? If not, why not? If the patients aren't being tracked to check their progress, or at least their identity to find when they die, then his e

In fairness, looking can also be a precursor to attacking.

Complicated yes, but surely nothing that most people couldn't figure out if they had the curiosity and no formal education in the field is it? The equipment here seems to be common kitchen containers and meat from the supermarket. I do

I know people tend to underestimate how difficult other people's work is, but do you really need a doctorate and a university to do research like this? Why not just do it at home as a hobby and if you want Indian feral dogs, hire some

He mentions the multiple languages. I don't understand why Europeans stick to their local languages when they all know English anyway. Are they trying to keep foreigners out? Surely they realize there's a huge social cost of havin

How about women are more likely to change professions/jobs, so they don't get to the same levels of seniority as men. That might indicate they have a more varied and interesting life. Maybe that suits women better than men. So yea

It's not that bad. The undersea environment doesn't suffer from erosion and weathering which basically prevents any long term construction from surviving very long on in the air. If dolphins carved words into the sea floor using a
