Stone doesn't burn, and neither does concrete. Glass melts. Steel evidently didn't burn at the temperatures these fires got to. So it makes sense that a building made of concrete and steel with stone facades and fiberglass insulat

Interesting. Wikipedia [1] also says that these biomes are supposed to have canopy fires rather than smaller burns. I'm a bit skeptical (seems awefully convenient), but it looks like the 500 year climate record supports this idea [2].

I think the Snopes link indicates the grandparent's point well, if not in the way that was intended: words being subjective and imprecise, the fact checker has many degrees of freedom. If we allow fact checkers to censor content, they

There is no IRB for monkeys. The animal equivalent to an IRB is usually an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), but the laws they are subject to vary with jurisdiction, and their use is optional if your grant provider (i.e.

My guess, stated without evidence: 1. Profits are capped as a percent of health care expenditures. 2. Employers (and people in the Marketplace) purchase insurance mostly based on price, which incentivizes lower prices. 3. (I'm guessing

In my locale, every time there are budget cuts or cost increases it is the popular and the visible government functions which get the axe. I.e. The parks department has four layers of management and manages a ton of no-bid contracts, but sw

As of 2022, foreign inspections were generally preannounced, and the GAO identified the need for a "pilot plan" for surprise foreign inspections: https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/fda-must-solidify-plan-f...

My intuition is that factory inspections should be self-funding, either via tax/fee levies on manufacturers or via fines on factories which fail inspections. How is there a shortage of inspectors? Does FDA not have the authority to fi

Interesting that the reader is ranked in 2D space on dimensions for which the reader provided a single bit of data ("Able to pause work"). I wonder how those dimensions are inferred.

The reasons referenced in the declaration of martial law were "cabinet and prosecutorial impeachments" and "budget difficulties in the face of national problems".

The military tried to physically prevent the National Assembly from meeting on a vote to disband the martial law. If they had been successful, the elected National Assembly would have no power. That's about as close to a military takeo

Re: 2. The "gender war" is greatly exaggerated and much astroturfed. Marriage rates have been dropping for decades because Koreans in their 20s and 30s cannot maintain the economic expectations of their parents. (Korean norms requ

For an article like this, the negative comments would be aimed at the people in the article, not the journalist. So the article can be a great (muckraking) article, and the comments might also be vitriolic, and everything is good if the rag
