I wonder if/how they controlled for age and free time. Surely those elite scientists are more likely to be old, retired or at least have a secure career so they have time to spend on their hobbies.

That's because you'll continue to vote for the same party that's responsible for it. You can blame the government all you want, but almost everybody in America is to blame for either voting for it or not voting for anyone el

They do, but it runs automatically so no need to name the service.

Depends where you are. London is deeply racially divided. There are effectively black-only schools and white-only schools. There are also schools almost completely dominated by various other ethnic groups too. The divide includes both the t

Either something's missing from the report of Vogl's argument, or she's trying to do something purely destructive in shutting down the startup offices. This seems to be the entirety of her case: - The workers use up too many

Drawing styles change with culture. Look at the comical childish pictures on Roman coins. In the days before printed material, people would have been exposed to far fewer pictures and had to invent their own ways of converting a 3D object i

Their judgement has to be appear consistent with all the famous writers who have done similar things before. So it's more specific than that. A woman can pretend to be a man, and a black can pretend to be a white but a white can't

Strangely one of the critics considered it wrong that a member of a "traditionally privileged" class pretended to be a member of a less favored class. That despite the fact that Michael's work was consistently rejected under

Part of it could be regenerated, though these ones are using mechanical brakes. Though, is energy use really a serious limitation in a lander/rover? These things hang around for months or more, so they can recharge from the sun just by

I've never seen a country with more horrible banks than the UK. They get their profit from poor people. They make it easy to accidentally overdraw and then charge you a massive fee. Don't pay the fee in time and you get another on

In this case, there's no chance of the robots proliferating out of control.

You want to see useless security theater, go to China. Every building has a live-on-site guard who's entirely unable to detect or prevent thefts, won't intervene in a fight, or do anything other than lock the doors at night. Some

Has there ever been a case where a country received too many refugees and its economy deteriorated as a consequence? People provide labor which is what causes economic growth. They're the most valuable thing a country can have if it&#x

Yes. kWh and kW confuse journalists no end. Even with a little common sense and no science knowledge, it's clear that the plant won't stop operating after a year of 120 homes because it's somehow used up all its energy. What

I suspect the fuzzy feeling was more that his discovery seemed to have caused Windows to be changed. Who wouldn't feel some kind of emotion at that?

Why weren't those excellent pictures in the article? This looks like it should just be called "superconductor for magnetic fields" or "superpermeator"?

While I don't know about panic attacks, I think it's known that small quantities of alcohol are either harmless or beneficial to health. The general public can't see shades of grey though, so they only look at the extremes of

The "tax" part of the lottery is a component of the gambling part. The gambling part is the product people pay for. Just like a tax on cigarettes, or in some countries a tax on every consumer product (VAT). You can always avoid th

I wonder if people will ever realize their morals are wrong despite being popular. We're so quick to judge people in the past or other countries (gay sex is illegal, say) but ignore our own backyards (sibling sex is illegal). The comed

Why does this matter? Somebody's going to own the land. If English people don't want foreign companies owning it, then they should make that illegal. If they don't have a stranglehold on who must pay tax to the UK government

We have to assume the conviction is correct. Otherwise that leads to basically letting everyone go free just in case they're actually innocent. So once we're sure somebody did a crime, I would say we don't give the criminal t

That's debatable. Coal is known to cause far more deaths than nuclear. Even Fukushima was nothing compared to the 10's of thousands killed by the tsunami.

Fukushima was an unsafe design. Chernobyl was both an unsafe design and being operated in an obviously risky and neglegent way when it failed. These kinds of disasters won't happen with more modern reactors that already exist. Even if

It looks like he is behaving like a normally developed adult person. Unless you consider every partner in a divorce to not be normally developed, nor anyone who's ever expressed hostility towards somebody else for what they appear to t

That'd be about 0.01% of what he has. Can you honestly say you've never spent more than that fraction of your savings on short term entertainment?

Recommending psychological help isn't a constructive way to respond to someone who's upset. We all feel various emotions and most of us say harsh things sometimes. Just because he's famous doesn't mean he has to have a p

It's a book about how to compete in a pointless arms race between applicants and the zero-sum admissions office of Harvard? Does such activity add any value to the world? It's like a book on how to predict the stock market.

In fairness, it looked a lot like a dilapidated picnic table and chairs to begin with. At least the park will look nicer now.

How does this make sense? I always want the currency I have to increase in value, not decrease. Does anyone actually like it when their savings lose value and they can no longer afford things they used to? Sure it helps exporters export mor
