That's kind of misleading, it's like saying Drupal has adopted NFTs because someone created this module: https://www.drupal.org/project/nft Anybody can create any kind of module for Drupal, but in the case of

Agreed, it's probably the best library for 3d graphics in JavaScript. That being said, if you want websites that load fast and perform well on a large number of devices, avoid using ThreeJS unless it's absolutely essential.

To repeat what I said already, "Obviously that's a bit extreme, but it's to illustrate that less [human] activity, not more, is what's best for the Planet." That was why I brought it up, I wasn't suggesting tha

FYI, when people are talking about helping "the Planet" they're not talking about lifeless rocks, they're talking about preserving the diversity of life on the Planet. And by balance I mean not precipitating another exti

So when people say "save the planet" they also mean preserving a completely unsustainable standard of living? I disagree, but if I wanted a strawman to shoot down that's a good one. To be clear, I meant protecting the current

This seems to be the standard response, I've certainly heard it before, but all I'm suggesting is doing less. I'm not a luddite, I'm not arguing for a "pre-modern agrarian societal model", I'm arguing for

You should still be curious as to why those correlations exist. It's still important even when the reason is p-hacking, since then you can identify dubious statistics.

I don't get this attitude, if things are correlated, it should at least make a scientist wonder why. It certainly could be random chance, but correlation can also lead to establishing a causal model or discovering a third variable. If

For plumbing, they switched to "lead-free" pipes, which is rather misleading as "lead-free" means up to 8% lead. It wasn't until 2011 that they redefined "lead-free" as being no more than 0.25% lead. http

Wuhan is 3,200 square miles, and it didn't just happen anywhere in Wuhan. The initial outbreak site was within walking distance of a laboratory that was studying that specific type of virus . Of all the different heavily-populated pla

So the best guess is that it came from wild bats, and there was a lab right next to the initial outbreak site that was studying wild bats. That could just be a coincidence, but it's a pretty remarkable coincidence and at the very least
