Why is it troubling? If you take a picture of something in the sky and you cannot determine from that picture if it's a bird or a plane, why is that a problem? The real problem starts when you have multiple reliable sources that this t

The Guardian, in general, is not a bad source of information. They have done some pretty good research that was later confirmed by others. However, this is a really lousy article.

Please watch "For all mankind" from Apple TV (a really good series) instead of considering to fight on the moon.

There was a nice article in Ars Technica[0] about the number of civilizations on other planets that could have detected our human civilization, it was depressingly low. [0] https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/06&#

It is an extremely dumb mistake. There are many optical illusions that make almost everyone observe things that are not true. Machines are susceptible to similar kinds of errors. To name it an object (for most people this means a physical o

Actually, I really prefer the term UAP (Unexplained Aerial Phenomenon) over the term UFO (Unidentified Flying Object). Using the name object makes everybody assume that it is physical object, which may or may not be true.

No, they said that in most cases crucial data was lacking. Yes, they probably have a lot more data, but they won't release it to the general public for "security reasons".

Yes, they do. We have a program here in the Netherlands that is targeted towards kids from lower economics groups. It has shown some promising results. The title of the 3rd paper you mention is Greater Use Of Preventive Services In U.S. Hea

You only see it around your own head, not around other people. Because of this some people believed that they were somehow blessed.

One big advantage of AI-piloted fighter jets is that they can use accelerations that could not be tolerated by humans. Also, in theory they could be faster. But it seems a very dangerous development.

This appears to have some major anti-trust problems. Google has a monopoly on its data collection, and because Chrome is the dominant browser, other parties will not be able to collect their own data.

This seems a highly unethical app. Most governments will (correctly) regard the users as spies and will treat them accordingly. I think that most users do not fully comprehend what the app does. The following seems particularly shady: >

I don't think you use a large response when there are other alternatives. One problem is see is with tests. You can expect that there are some problems that might arise with very large data sets, but it may take some computer time to s

It was a long time ago that I looked into this. It is nice to see that there are better studies now. (I always thought that the number of errors seemed suspiciously low).

One problem with Excel is that it is mainly used by non-programmers. Approximately 10% of professional spread sheets contain serious errors. Another problem is that it mangles it inputs in unpredictable ways. Geneticists have been forced to

One of the new items was that there was a report there was a bat colony at the institute[0]. (Although, if Sky News Australia is similar to its UK counterpart, it is not a highly reputable news source). Still it wouldn't surprise me. T

The article does not contain the word climate. It focuses on the economic development of the heartland. If am not mistaken this contains some of the poorest places in the US.
