I've come to believe that singular scientific papers should be consider "only slightly above noise". Like ants leaving weak pheromones when they find food: It works well in scale but close to random in the particular case. I

That's not entirely accurate. Some trickery is involved... Javascript in one site can't just access another website's content. That's the Same Origin Policy. But what you can do is dynamically link to an image on another

In the tongue it seems that whatever is damaged when it's burned (literally or via hot spice) is regenerated.

I remember reading somewhere an idea to make the polygraph produce more objective results: Instead of asking for example "Did you rob the bank?" and interpret the response as "lying" or "not lying" they can be

This is a non-issue IMO. Contrary to popular belief QCs are not magical oracles that can do arbitrary exponential calculations in polynomial time. Instead QCs can do only very specific things better than conventional computers and there are

Worth mentioning is the Toki Pona artificial language that has only 120 words. It's essentially designed for ambiguity. "With such a tiny vocabulary, ambiguity is inevitable but not necessarily bad: The vagueness forces you to foc

Good point. News is not like other business sectors in that it (ideally) plays a critical role in maintaining the balance in a democracy so it's in everyone's best interest to have a strong honest and free press. If the news secto

Very fun read. Though by focusing (with great humor and nuance) on the "Others" and their faults, it perhaps misses an important question (imo) namely, why does other people's bragging affect me negatively? Why do I not fee

It was one of my welcome-to-the-real-world moments growing up when I learned that the Transformers were initally toys and that the animation series was created later to increase sales.

I'v always found it amusing that there is no word for English meaning "not hungry". There's only "full". It exists it many languages alongside "full" and there's a clear distinction between them.

I've had an idea about this problem that I'd be happy to hear your thoughts about: Simply put, a promise for an independant future reproduction study should be part of the published paper. Once a researcher achieves a publishable

Interesting, I've never heard of the preference of female bodyguards. It makes sense and apparently: "These days, the good female PPOs can work all year round while men struggle to find jobs... Such is the demand for women, they g
