Right, but that doesn't tell me how many other ways they carved the data up and didn't report it in the paper. Maybe they initially chose different age groups (10-22, 23-50, >50) and found no effect. Then they tweaked the cat

Most government agencies price lives around $10 million.[1][2] An ancient Slate Star Codex post does a good job explaining the reasoning ( https://web.archive.org/web/20180408043513/https://squid314.... ):

Again, that's "lifestyle consumption emissions", not total emissions. The poorest 10% make less than $2 per day. Of course they're going to be a rounding error in terms of "lifestyle consumption emissions". And

If the source you're citing is Oxfam's report on Extreme Carbon Inequality [1][2], which was widely reported as saying that the world's richest 10% produce half of global carbon emissions, that is incorrect. If you read the

Wherever they go, I doubt most of them will continue to work on open source software. I'm not sure if it's a bad thing that these man-hours will be lost to the open source community. I think Red Hat’s involvement in open source ha

No it’s not. Most comm sats are in geosynchronous orbit. This thing is in low earth orbit. Only the Iridium constellation is within its range. Most likely it is for messing with other countries’ spy satellites.

The system is used to find possible suspects. If you’re flagged, then maybe the police stop and question you or look for other evidence. This system performs much better than existing tools like drug dogs.

The 737 MAX exists because it's so onerous to get government certification for a new airframe (and for governments to certify pilots on a new airframe). Boeing would love to ditch all the legacy cruft on the 737 and start from scratch,

The whole point of distributing money instead of goods is that the goods people want change over time, and large bureaucracies are slow to react to those changes. 30 years from now, people won’t want cell phones. They’ll want whatever new t

Some rockets use hydrogen and their pressure vessels aren't so heavy as to keep them stuck on the ground. You only need to contain the hydrogen for hours, not weeks.

105-107 is probably a little high, but the real number is likely above 100. If mainland China is fudging the numbers, then Macau & Hong Kong are as well. Their PISA scores are all pretty close.[1] 1. http://www.unz.com/a

If it is, it's not due to CO2. The US Navy's submarines are run with CO2 levels varying from 300-11,300ppm.[1] The military did plenty of studies in the 60s and 70s and failed to find significant cognitive effects in environments
