so, I'll take that as a no then... Even the IPCC reports suggest that warming isn't as bad as many claim, even though it is overly confident on attributing the warming to humans. Unfortunately, evidence is all too often what'

by aldoushuxley001 7y ago
Show me some evidence that suggests the current warming is something to be concerned about. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. And AGW is an extraordinary claim.

by aldoushuxley001 7y ago
We're coming out of an ice age, so it's to be expected that temperatures should be warming naturally and without any human intervention. In fact, it would be very worrying if that weren't the case. The question though is how
94.
by aldoushuxley001 7y ago
Because it's entirely plausible that most of the warming is natural and not anthropogenically forced. If that's the case, then we're doing real harm to the poorest people in the world by needlessly raising the price of energy

Meanwhile, those of us who understand that it is very difficult to tease out natural from man-made warming are very skeptical of the increasing politicization of science. We're coming out of an ice age after all; I see nothing in the c

People being reasonable and skeptical?
97.
by aldoushuxley001 7y ago
Yup, the fact that if you dare to study the science objectively and ask, e.g. how much of the warming we’re seeing right now is attributable to humans? You’ll get effectively socially ostracized, meanwhile that’s literally the most importan

I would consider using this, but I'd likely only use it for 1 camera, as such $5 a month is untenable. You should consider a lower tier payment option.

by aldoushuxley001 7y ago
idk if people are downvoting me because they think $20 a month for a social network isn't crazy, or if they think that someone willing to pay $1 a month isn't a sign of appetite for paid social networks...

by aldoushuxley001 7y ago
The comment your replying to said they would be willing to pay $1 a month for a social network, so there’s definitely appetite for paid social networks, but $20 a month is understandably a crazy price.

What was it about select_related that slowed your queries? What'd you do to fix them? Did you have to abandon select_related, or just tweak its parameters? I'm just building out a Django app now and using select_related, or rather

Except it’s the science that shows neonicotinoids to be harmful, like the thread you’re commenting on, and the publicly registered lobbyists working for Bayer and previously Monsanto who have successfully politically lobbied for laws that b

by aldoushuxley001 7y ago
Because Bayer, formerly Monsanto, has waged an incredibly effective and successful lobbying/PR campaign. EDIT: Am I being downvoted for the truth? Or because of a very successful and incredibly effective PR campaign?

It’s frankly shocking and disturbing how many people are celebrating the collapse in fertility worldwide. This should be a sign that something we’re doing is very very wrong. Plus population is expected to plateau around 9 billion so we’re

I would imagine a safety net and subsidized healthcare actually diminishes the traditional biological functions of males in human populations. With a safety net e.g., the males don't need to necessarily be the breadwinners/hunters

The rate of change isn't unprecedented. In fact, most of the times the earth has come out of ice ages, similar to now, there have been rates of change in temperature similar to ours now.

behaviorism is still ridiculously influential, unfortunately.

Not actually a citation for the statement that 'Climate change makes coral reefs suffer more', so not terribly helpful in this context.
109.
by aldoushuxley001 7y ago
Yeah that's definitely the approach. It's simply an "unvalidated" statement either way, until evidence is provided to support it.
110.
by aldoushuxley001 7y ago
Can you cite that that’s what is “currently well known and accepted”. Burden of proof is on whoever is making the statement.

> I don't think refering to trans people by the gender they want or by "they" is too much to ask. It's not, but it shouldn't be a punishable offense either.

by aldoushuxley001 7y ago
Wrong. It's a substantiated theory, because there's lots of evidence suggesting this theory is correct. But it is not a fact, you're right there's stil la possibility it was an actual suicide, but I'm right in calli

the narwhal is very well known for its liberal bias, even to the point of dishonesty, so this presentation is not surprising.
114.
by aldoushuxley001 7y ago
Better to just call it a substantiated theory at this point.

Sad state of discourse these days. Whatever happened to having civilized discussions?

by aldoushuxley001 7y ago
Runaway states are an unrealistic scare mongering tactic that very rarely show up in nature. There are so many feedback loops, both positive and negative, but people always forget about the negative feedback loops and overemphasize the posi

Ironically it’s climate change advocates who have politicized science. The IPCC, whose reports are fundamental to climate change advocacy, is an intergovernmental panel. It is the epitome of politicized science. Judge whether or not this ki

by aldoushuxley001 7y ago
Yes, you’re right that is the connection.
119.
by aldoushuxley001 7y ago
I appreciate your civility, but it’s mildly disturbing hearing climate change advocacy being referred to as a team. I understand what you mean, but there shouldn’t be teams so much as many independent inquirers who come to the same conclusi

We should act on the insect apocalypse and do things like ban neonicinoids, etc. But connecting this to climate change is an extreme stretch considering species decline has been happening for a long time before the industrial revolution. It
