How about recording videos of the lab? People trying to reproduce the experiment can just sift through the video. That may be tedious but it's far better than nothing. Just a little metadata would help: Experiment A, Phase N, Day X

How else should the investor respond? In many situations (I don't know enough about this one) I don't think it's acceptable to say nothing; it's effectively tacit support.

You probably won't tell me, but what is the tactical benefit of continued trolling at this point?

So what are your thoughts on this argument? It sounds like you were convinced, and the comment reads like a slightly clever way to spread these hateful ideas. (I can't speak for your intent.)

He was hardly the only murderous sadist; you can find many in the history of Holocaust camps. Look up Joseph Mengele, for example, who would perform sadistic medical procedures (called experiments, but really for sadism) on prisoners, inclu

It's much more militaristic than before 9/11. In the U.S., the military now is glorified, as is war and violence. * Despite the military's lack of success in Afghanistan and extreme recklessness and failure in Iraq, the publi

The initial statement argued that because organisms are "fine" with 1GW/sq km, they therefore should be fine with the additional heat of a datacenter. I disagreed with the conclusion, not the number. The second statement was

Agreed, very good points; thanks. I should have been more careful with my paints. I did mean to depict that we aren't there yet. > Germany had strongly militaristic culture long before The U.S. has had a strong culture of racial dis

IIRC, that is a serious hypothesis for how life began on earth, seeded from elsewhere (maybe not Mars). But certainly someone here knows more than I do about it ...

My anecdotal observation is that in the last week or so, the extremist right-wing[0] trolls have returned to HN after being silent for a time, maybe since Trump's election and especially since the inauguration time. First there were br

Also, we need to look in the mirror. If we think of the people who were Nazis as somehow alien creatures, not ordinary people like us, we overlook a central point and a critical risk. Germany and Austria were a/the centers of science,
