If the video is real then my guess is we are looking at a glider being towed at supersonic speed. The air-tow could be flying higher in the atmosphere beyond the reach of basic ground defense systems. The glider would not give off a heat-pl

Yes, as a researcher, I will be working over the winter break. But that's what I want to do! I guess it is the people who love their job so much they do it on their time off that lowers the bar for everyone else

I RECEIVED AN OPENED BOX OF BABY FORMULA FROM AMAZON. I've basically stopped using amazon for all but a few purchases I can't get elsewhere. They lost a lot of business from me

Pretty much true given my knowledge. It is probably time to disband the FDA. That's the easy part. But the FDA serves a vital purpose and a new agency would be required to replace it

So quantum computing is expected to based on Bra-ket notation? In that case, is it simply based on linear algebra and statistical sampling? I assume you can get that experience with low-level Tensorflow and a GPU for parallel computing

I don't think it is so far fetched. The economy is the product of human interactions, and I think understanding a single human being is more challenging than everything you listed, except maybe consciousness (but perhaps artificial con

I'm using a Microsoft surface laptop and I love it! The 3:2 screen ratio makes my 13" screen feel like a 15" laptop without extra bulkiness (the 3:2 screen ratio adds an extra inch of height compared to the 16:9 ratio). Every

I think you're stumbling on a root cause of America's healthcare crisis. I think most American's don't understand just how much physicians make--and where did you get those figures because clinicians I know make a good d

I love HDF5! It is great for large datasets, and easy to use. It's great for one-time research projects when you need a quick solution. However, there is a lot of room for improvement, which is why I understand the authors decision

Using Alabama is a flawed analogy. Hong Kong has always enjoyed greater autonomy than other Chinese cities. A better analogy would be Puerto Rico citizens aggressively protesting their lack of rights electing members to congress in the fede

China's government is doing worse than that to the Uigur people--the PRC is stealing away Uigur kids. See "China, where are my kids?": https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-asia-china-48873934/xinji

P-values are just a symptom of a much larger problem--the incentives of being an honest researcher don't exist, and the incentives for appearing to generate results are massive. Picking on p-values is like attacking Toyota for contribu

Biology is not that simple. There's not going to be a single magic compound. Slowing the aging process is massively complex and will probably require a cocktail of treatments
