>Maybe he would have done it anyway at this point in his life. You'd think after he was done with hearings, something he was been advocating and trying to have happen since 2017. Why would he do Boeing a favor and kill himself befor

Ah yes, a rival nation would want a whistleblower that brings bad press on their rival to be silenced right before further hearings. Funny how that works out in Boeing's favor more than anyone else.

Yes but also 33% of those surveyed have heard of a fake study and less than 1/4 of them were aware of the DEFUSE proposal

I honestly find this to be unforgivable it should have been obvious early on by how fast the virus spread that it was airborne and many people died because policy and guidelines were set up around a contact spread model. IMO I think it&#x27

For Python to work in the browser via WebAssembly you'd need to have python itself compiled and running to execute python. It would consume a lot of energy and be much slower, I see no upsides. WebAssembly is meant to have lower level

Javascript works in browsers though, and it's a better async language that makes javascript APIs superior to Python.

I feel like on has been so inundated with bots and shill accounts from PR firms, non profits, and state actors that nuanced opinions get shutdown via mass downvoting by bots they also artificially boost fake shill posts as well.

So when the sources contain inaccurate information then Wikipedia does so as well. I don't see how that is a good thing people view Wikipedia as the online version of the Encyclopedia Britannica which was curated by experts. Wikipedia

That's interesting, I got downvoted. Is someone pro regulatory capture?

by baja_blast 3y ago
I hate regulatory capture! The officials heading these agencies are often picked by the industry they are meant to regulate and often become highly paid lobbyists after they retire

Well we spent over a decade and millions of dollars studying SARS coronaviruses and yet none of that work was of any help in fighting the pandemic. For example Ecohealth which was publicly funded with our tax dollars has still to this day r

But a human and chimp's have over 3 billion nucleotides in our genome. SARS2 only has 30 thousand, so the genetic distance between the two are at most decades, but with recombinants the timeline is much shorter

Yeah but there are about 20 billion G and K type stars in the Milky Way so it's not that rare.

because you need 3 transits for a positive detection of a exoplanet. And given that the habitable planet around a sun like star is anything from 250 - 700 days the observation time is too expensive so they focus on red dwarfs instead. I als

Just like how Youtube will demonetize videos with things like violent retro video games. But they don't take down the video or hide it, they just collect all the ad revenue for themselves.

Google 5 years ago was amazing, I would have never predicted Search and Maps to have gotten worse. It would have been better if they just stopped making changes altogether rather than whatever they are doing now. Does anyone have any insigh

by baja_blast 3y ago
I have made the switch to Apple Maps too, why Google seems to be destroying their key products is something I find extremely perplexing.

by baja_blast 3y ago
Anyone else feel that Google as a search engine has gotten really bad these past few years? Finding information outside of looking up restaurants, songs or products the results are often times completely irrelevant and limited now.

Considering that most of our models of how life arose on earth involve liquid water interacting with both an energy source and a rocky crust I wonder how a planet with an icy layer sparked abiogenesis. Or how the minerals and materials need

Yeah, me personally I am more upset with how irrelevant and bad Google search results have become than I am worried about privacy. I know and have accepted that Google invades my privacy, but the trade off used to be I could find whatever I

But the environments that they evolved in and the environment we evolved is completely different. Earth to them would be unbearable for them to live on, and any resource they could possibly want would be readily available via asteroids. One

That's probably the case for the majority of planets, also even with multicellular life there is no guarantee that intelligent life would evolve. Earth went 4.5 billion years with 700 million with multicellular life and imagine if earl

Lately I have found Google to be a less reliable search engine when compared to a few years ago. Whether I am trying to find an old meme, a piece of research or even googling errors it seems like the results are never what I am looking for.

If you turn on the closed captions it won't pick up the grainy dialog, but instead picks up the static as applause.
