The reason clean water became consistent is because science told us clean water is important and how to make clean water widely available. Nutrition became better because science allowed us to grow more food across more land more easily. T

Are you looking at the same graph I am? The average age of death is 59 in the 1600-1650 range and steadily increases to 76.9 in the >=1930 range. That's a significant improvement. Sure, 1600-1650 is a local minimum, but none of the

If I understand correctly, "certainly new physics" is not correct. It makes the results very substantial, but you still have systemic things to consider at that point, like misapplication of a mathematical concept that no one has

Methane is going to come out of sewage whether we process it or not, and methane itself is a greenhouse gas. It's not going to come out of the ground without help (in the quantities we are using).

That's not what excess deaths mean. Excess deaths is number of deaths above previous years average. It has nothing to do with age, other than tracking who has died at what age.

If we disregard "science" how are we going to make any decisions? It's not like we're using magic here. Science is simply a way of attaining and verifying knowledge. To abandonment means to abandon those thought proce

Does a prism truly solve a Fourier in "O(1)" or is it so fast it seems to be "O(1)"?

"Propaganda" is a loaded term. VOA is historically a very accurate and unbiased (as far as that is possible) source of news. [1] [2] [1] https://www.adfontesmedia.com/voice-america-bias-and-reliabi... [2] https:

But these are attacks that worked across multiple systems. Heterogeneity is going to lead to more systems with less overall security work being done per system. Sure, using Firefox would have prevented the attacks we know about, but who&#

This is a great poitlnt, and a good driver would do the same things ng. If there's an unknown hazard, you slow down to make sure it isn't going to cause a problem. Self driving cars can have the same behaviour programmed in.

I don't understand your point. Aladdin is mildly offensive, so it's ok that Dr. Seuss was really offensive? I have those books, and the drawings in them are straight up offensive, for all individuals that are not white.

First, don't ever minimize suicide. Second, I was talking about the officer who died after being spread by an unknown chemical. There was a second officer who died by suicide. Third, I don't think the fact the pipe bombs were pl

There were also people in fully tactical gear with bombs and zip cuffs. A police officer died due to these protestors actions. Stop minimizing it.

Chapter 11 is a form of bankruptcy that leads to dissolution, but it is not the only way to dissolve an entity. In other words, dissolution can be caused by bankruptcy among many other ways. One of these is paying off all creditors and sha

I've never heard this interpretation of bankruptcy. What I have heard is it's used when an entity can't repay their debts. This is not equivalent to liabilities being one dollar larger than their assets. Normally, bankruptc

So IQ measures something, but we don't know what and we don't know how it impacts the real world. How can we meaningfully say it measures something then?

I'm not an expert on electric power, but it seems like a pretty elastic good in the short term. Would bumping the price up so dramatically actually have an impact on supply?

While I agree with what you are saying,we should keep in mind that people tend to sensationalize and emphasize the human element. This in turn would make it seem like it is a closer and less procedures process than it really was. Bottom l

I don't see the distinction you're making between "sensing" and "measuring related phenomena." What's different from using a specialized microscope to take a picture of an atom and using a telescope to ta
