Social sciences haven't been "playing science", they are just as scientific as physics. It's just that physics produces more reliable knowledge via the scientific method, while the social sciences produce less reliable k

Right, so long as we can agree that science is not limited to the scientific method. Science should be well defined, but not limited to arbitrary confines.

Actually psychology is a part of the sciences in most universities, atleast in Canada. There's a reason for that too, I'm sure. Also, your assertion that to call a discipline a science, it needs to use the scientific method, is we

I disagree. I'm glad that science is becoming less associated with the "hard" sciences and is being used more broadly. After all, science is much more than simply the sciences that strictly use the scientific method. The &quo

A truly great and inspiring man. He really knew what science was about, contrary to how we conduct science these days.

It's more that this thread is full of people mad that 2 million Indians are going to be competing with them for jobs at lower prices than they are willing to do. The result is people making thinly-disguised racist comments about how te

yeah, looks like the hackernews community is slightly racist

That's beyond fucked up.

Yeah, this is hardly a refutation. This is just one failed attempt at replication using batteries

Doesn't this show that his version of the EM Drive shows thrust even when supplied with power from batteries? (instead of an external cable?)

Actually those on government assistance were shown to vote mostly to stay, so that they could hold on to their government assistance. The EU helps the welfare of many poor people.

No I disagree. An ultrasound picture of a baby accurately reflects the actual form of the baby. A Scanning Tunneling Electron Microscope does not accurately reflect the form of an atom because it simply uses an artificial dot to represent t

"it was created to prevent another world war and in that it has succeeded" You couldn't be more wrong here. If anything the creation of the EU makes war much more likely, precisely because of the inevitability of its breakup.

Well that's not true. Saying it's natural suggests that we have atleast evolved with it in the environment, likely interacted with it at times and have developed biological means of interacting and dealing with it. If something is

Sure, Craigslist is how I first broke into the industry. I learned how to code through codeacademy and just tinkering on some projects, then started to go to Craigslist looking for random tech/programming jobs to see how viable it was.

That's just a good storm. The normal day-to-day weather is very nice and usually sunny. Of course we have winter, but it is mild with the occasional extreme storm. I guess it just depends on how much you like the cold.

I am and have been living in Toronto, but I hear that craigslist is even bigger in the US than Canada, so I presume the same is likely.

In my experience, Craigslist has much a much more valuable asset than Upwork to my freelance career

I doubt New York has a better food scene than Toronto

by James001 10y ago
Those places must have great weather, because Toronto is mostly sun and climate is moderated by the lake

no, most standard blood tests are surprisingly limited.

Viruses are the most common way for genes to be transferred. A virus literally goes into the cell of the mosquito and copy's a small portion of its genes and splices it into its own genome, which it can then copy and splice into other

The problem is most scientists now days aren't real scientists. They are closer to laboratory workers or even bureaucrats. What we need to do is reform science as a whole, the very methodology's that we accept for science. Science

The main problem is how do we actually eradicate mosquito's without introducing other severely risks? For example, one of the popular techniques is releasing genetically modified mosquitoes that are sterile. The problem is we don'

Again, you didn't cite any actual facts. Repeating something doesn't make it true. You should reply with a citation proving that the rate of temperature rise is an anomaly. Cause right now you're ironically "making shit

That's just a beautiful layout on that page. Amazing typography and colour.

Even if nothing changed, it would have been worth it for the simple fact that it simplifies the bureaucracy of it all. That's basic income's most important feature

I think you're missing the fact that everything already is a PR piece and has been forever
