But this way is carbon neutral. Every CO2 molecule you pump out, started out as a CO2 molecule you took from the air. There is no reason to dislike fossil fuels, if they no longer come from fossils. It's the releasing of carbon from mi

This is a pretty basic chemistry question, but I thought someone her might be able to give a simple explanation why it seems most of these amazing catalysts are always made from precious metals. Why is it that super expensive things like go

I want to know too. I would like to buy some shares, put them in a box and save them for my grandchildren. Seems the very definition of a long play to me.

I love Friday and just reread it last weekend. Often I think that Elon Musk believes he is a character in a Heinlein novel. Tesla is Shipstone, the cars are just a mechanism to build better batteries. SpaceX, that's just DD Harriman fr

The democrats told us they wanted to get rid of carbon based fuels. This is what that looks like. There is no way to get to that without going through this.

Telomeres get a lot of press, but they are only one Hallmark of aging. Other possible related hallmarks I see in this include stem cell exhaustion, epigenetic disregulation, genomic instability and altered cell signaling. Note I have not re

I have to disagree with you on that. There are a great many mechanisms we evolved, most long before we were human, that appear to be anticancer mechanisms. Off the top of my head senescence, apoptosis, and telomeres. The fact we don't

Your skin turns read and feels hot, like a sunburn. It's the number one side effect of high dose niacin. There are some prescription extended release prescription niacins to reduce that effect, but it still happens. It's very unco

It could also simply be time. To me this is obviously a small study that should be followed up (quickly) with a double blind, randomized trial. Until then, I'd be hesitant to put a bunch of ppl on anticoagulants.

There was no mention of latency, which is the real game changer for Starlink vs other satellite providers. Seems like FUD.

Fwiw, bathrooms are usually a good place to ride out a tornado. No windows and they are usually in a central location.

Exactly this. I have a PHD in CS and am a world class expert in multi-omic data integration and analysis. I'm happy to throw my weight around in that area, but I'd never point to my PhD to pontificate on Neural nets or systems or

I believe the enforcement is federal (ATF). I'd imagine until the fed legalizes it, the process will be messy. You would have to recreate the ATF in each state. ATF also has some pretty sweeping powers that may be tough to replicate (l

While your parents have been flying in the same planes, they payed twice as much (inflation adjusted) and a lot less often. I too wish I was vacationing in Luna City tovarich, but things have gotten better by quite a bit. https:/&#x2F

I like this idea. Makes me think of nondeterministic v deterministic Turing Machines. It is easy to confirm that the magician is correct, but hard to see how they were able to get there.

My least favorite example of this is statistical "significance" which gives the impression of importance. I can't think of a word that has caused more trouble in science than that.

Thanks for pointing this out. FWIW, it appears China's number is actually 66.8%, vs the US's 108%. Your point still stands. 1 https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/government-debt-to...

I believe it is always cheaper to feed cows grass. The grain is more expensive, but fattens the cow up and produces better marbling, and most would say better taste. That is why it is done.

I think the attraction to the Turing story is that it is a classical tragedy. If what happened to him happened to any gay man, it would be wrong. But since it happened to one of the greatest geniuses of the 20th century, who may have had ot

Only the vaccinated will preferentially evolve variants that are resistant to the vaccine. The vaccines are leaky, as evidenced by the recent outbreak in the Northeast. A saner strategy with leaky vaccines is to vaccinate the small populati

Yeah. I did a lot of work with blood measures and every disease had some characteristic spike in n immune function. I worked in a lab with a ton of immunologists and we never knew what was going on. All we could say was activation of comple

That's crazy. Governments always return the freedoms the take once emergencies are over. I'd find a citation but I am almost to the front of the line and need to remove my shoes.

You've just invented the Republic. At least that's the way it is supposed to work. My opinion is that the House should be increased by a factor of 100. Hard to bribe that many people.
