There is no law against mentioning Hitler or something like that. There are laws against denying the Holocaust, glorifying the Nazi regime or using Nazi symbols (e.g. the swastika).

This is is a state law, not a federal one. As far as I understand it is limited to 2 months. Just a clarification, not a justification. It was a somewhat controversial law, and I think those cases clearly show why. Those laws always get jus

You usually don't have 80k lying around at 18, and nobody is going to loan you 80k to invest them (and even if they would, the interest would fundamentally change your calculation). And 10% returns is rather optimistic, though the numb

There should be pretty large differences per country here if the costs are the major driving factor. Universities can be much cheaper or even free in other countries compared to the US.

What exactly do you want to scale? But in the end the answer is likely "connection pooling", either integrated in the application or with a dedicated pooler like PgBouncer which this article is about. For Postgres a good way to sc

The scientific fraud doesn't mean the scientists are bad. It means the incentives for scientists in China are much more misaligned than in many western countries. My understanding is that the number of publications plays a much stricte

Is any company in that area actually making a profit? It just doesn't seem like a sustainable business model given all the work necessary to handle charging and distributing the scooters. I don't think you can arbitrarily jack up

MDPI is also not exactly a reputable publisher, I wouldn't assign much value to "peer-reviewed" in this case. Not that it's entirely reliable for reputable journals either, but this looks like the kind of journal you&#x2

There are certainly diminishing returns on many of the aspects coffee enthusiasts care about. But when I started experimenting with an Aeropress and some better coffee I found it interesting that there were many fundamental aspects I could

Nice images. It's probably too much effort, but for the grinder it would have been interesting to compare the now rather old Porlex grinder with the much heavier steel burr grinders you'd get recommended today. Those are very noti

That article does seem to be jumping to conclusions. I don't think you can assume that the expense for running the free models will stay constant. And they can restrict the free version more if necessary, they obviously don't want

CS is a rare exception, the common case is 50-66% of that.

Grad students are essentially like employees, just with shitty pay and a higher dependence on the goodwill of their bosses to get their PhD. A large part of scientific research in academia is performed by grad students. To compare this with

Which is likely not that common for grad students, at least in my experience. A grad student as the sole earner for a family is not the norm.

Do I understand that right that with a minimum wage for grad students of $40,000 they would still be eligible for food stamps in many cases? I don't have a good grasp of the living costs here, but it seems to me that this income is lik

My impression is that this will combine essentially random ingredients into nonsense recipes. I added a bunch of stuff that doesn't really fit together, and it used every single one of them to create something. It's perfectly happ

I don't see how this could ever work, and non-scientists seem to often dramatically underestimate the amount of work it would be to replicate every published paper. This of course depends a lot on the specific field, but it can easily

Joe Biden has said that the cancer was probably caused by the burn pits during the war. Which is plausible, though of course hard to substantiate. So attributing the death to the war is rather confusing and potentially misleading. But if th

There is still a very large and fundamental difference between the kind of election promise breaking you expect from most politicians and what Trump did. He was constantly lying about everything and denying reality. That is not how all poli

The point here is that the country and government don't have to actually fail here to fail paying the debts. The debt ceiling rules and the behaviour of the Republican party make it a plausible outcome that the US decides to simply not

Just for comparison, an typical MRI magnet is 1.5 Tesla. An NMR spectrometer can go up to 28 Tesla (using new high-temperature superconductors). The LHC magnets are around 8 Tesla. Those are the kinds of magnetic fields the classic supercon

There is one sentence in the paper this is about ( https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0820-9 ) that I think overstates the conclusion: > we do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausibl

The timeline isn't clear to me, but another aspect is that new data became available over time. I'd expect far more speculative comments early in the pandemic compared to later. Another factor that tends to trigger a lot of cynici

We know what helium and nitrogen gas do and what dangers they represent. We also know how much of them are in the LHC. The main danger is that both displace oxygen, so you can suffocate e.g. if a large amount of helium is released by a quen

> During such a quench, the liquid helium in the magnet warms up and turns into a gas that is recovered by the cryogenic system to be re-liquified, ready to cool down the magnets again. They're capturing the helium, so it isn't

I haven't watched it as the reviews indicate it's likely not worth it, but Amazon's Citadel does seem kinda absurd in terms of money spent compared to the result. There are certainly series where you can see the money they sp

Quality control has limits, if you only test some samples you are likely to miss issues. Especially as there is a wide variety of potential problems, and you can't easily test for all of them. That is why the processes themselves are r
