You present no evidence that this is true. You just fan the flames of outrage by assuming that a deleted post means a conspiracy. It seems far more likely that it was caught by a spam filter, or by a Reddit mod, or by a Reddit admin who mis

Non-trivial problems often require exploration of the solution space. You're not expected to ask management if they've changed their mind, you're meant to present your finding so far, and ask if they have any feedback. Simply

But those other examples suffer from the same flaw that no one has any intuitive understanding of how big those events are. - Tonga eruption was 1e7 tons - Hurricane Katrina was 1e10 tons - Melting Antarctica is 1e12 tons (afaict)

Obviously the medical community is aware of this. Take for example the very recent approval of Molnupiravir: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-59163899 https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056&#x

TLDR: an interesting discussion of a superspreader event: 117 people, 107 of whom were fully vaccinated, attended a party for 4.5 hours after checking themselves with a rapid antigen test. 66 of them were confirmed to have omicron less than

Calculate the volume of wire that would contain 6e18 free electrons, assuming 1 electron per atom. You can intuit it by knowing Avogadro's constant is 6e23. So 1e-5 mol, 1 mol of (atomic) Copper is 63g, so that's 6e-4g of copper.

Shorting involves finding someone willing to bet the opposite way. If you think a pattern is obvious, other people will too, and that will make options expensive, reducing your gains. (In general.)

I recently saw this video that aims to cut through the hype that 3D printing houses seems to generate. Although the potential is cool, there are a lot of unsolved problems: https://youtu.be/sz1LM9kwRLY

But that question is far harder to answer than testing the viral proteins in a lab. You seem to be dismissing this research whilst suggesting they concentrate on something that is probably impossible, thankfully, due to the fact that this v

We don't have to eliminate all transmission to stop Covid, we just need to bring the R value below 1 and keep it there. I don't think that direct transmission via sneezing is a significant cause of spread, but sneezed particles co

The men don't suffer from RHS though, so it's less relevant on an article about RHS. Perhaps there is another article that could be written about them.

AI doing something that humans used to do but better is pretty much the whole point of AI. The chasm between drawing a line on a map and this system is enormous, and represents 30 years of research. It doesn't have to be a breakthrough

Sure, I'd take the shorter flight, everything else being equal. But what premium would you pay for that ability? The article only mentions being better than Concorde at 5x the fuel cost (I assume it means per passenger-km).
