By emphasizing a past date, the headline (and article itself) gives the impression that the record was set over 5000 years ago, and that this is the first time the gold/silver ratio has been higher than at that point in time. "Sin

I believe his complaint is that SI defined 1 Hz as 1/s, not as 2π/s. So 2π Hz in the new definition is 1 Hz in the older. It does make the Hz unit a bit redundant (saying "hertz" is no faster than "per second",

The first implements a programming language and typesetting system, while the second just swaps characters. I'm not sure it's a fair comparison. (Additionally, the TeX source is also meant to be formatted, not read raw.)

I would consider market forces a more reasonable explanation: most people are going to pick the cheapest option. The success of cheap, flickering bulbs attests to that, I think. It doesn't help that the old Edison screw is terrible for

It's also incorrect: 36000 * 2500 m^3 * 2 kg/m^3 is only 180 Gg. I think they used the density of dry ice (1500kg/m^3) by mistake. Measuring in teragrams is also not very useful, as virtually all climate-related stats are rep

Apologies! It was late and my proofreading became less rigorous. I'll rewrite it: "The they're-a-bunch-of-quacks story doesn't have to explain the Nimitz incident. The AAWSAP/AATIP group were given footage and repor

The they're-a-bunch-of-quacks story doesn't have to explain the Nimitz incident. They were given footage and reports of the incident, but the existence or nonexistence of the event is independent of them.

I'm disappointed by this article. There is an amazing story here, and the author missed it: a collection of UFO believers and pseudoscientific quacks manage to get $26 million in funding from the US government. They produce mostly no
