Reducing flight time is not the same as reducing travel time. The real killer with respect to travel time are layovers airport delays. Cheaper airplanes capable of flying farther will reduce the number of layovers, and the big airlines know

The author outlines a compelling use case at the end of the video definitely worth listening to! VR is limited to the space in your bedroom, so how can you compress an entire level into just one room?

No, Dr Rosemary is not quoted in the article as coming up with the number 95%. That number is mentioned before she is quoted or her name is used

How did they determine vaping is 95% less harmful than smoking? I don't see references to the methods they used to make this assessment. Where did that number come from? As far as I can tell, the number was just made up!

Quote "I knew that the Juul fad had practically taken over American high schools recently...". After looking at pictures of their products I think I understand why [1]. I have the impression that some of these products are tailore

Still, are you going to place a majority of the blame on the victim or the burglar? It would seem that a majority of the blame lies with China if the allegations are true (I suspect they are)

Yes, but some cities are worse, much worse, than others. It's like saying nobody is perfect so it's okay to hurt others.

It's not just waiters that can't afford the city. San Francisco could literally price itself out of existence. My previous partner was looking at residency programs. Being a doctor in training is not an attractive proposition in S

My impression is that glyphosate is safe, but that the inactive ingredients, which are loosely regulated, are carcinogenic in some formulations of the herbicide. Of course, Monsanto won't admit this and open themselves up to lawsuits.

The scientific process requires experimental observation and is the gold-standard for determining truth. But the scientific process has limits and does not work on every problem. It is important to understand that not all research uses the

Until I read about actual punishments being handed out, I'm skeptical that China will actually enforce rules on intellectual property theft.

I'm worried about emissions from the aircraft, which I am guessing will probably be gas powered. Airplane emissions are not as tightly regulated as automobiles. In fact, airplanes are allowed to use leaded fuel [1]. Now imagine a fleet

Here's a thought. Alzheimer's disease is as complicated and diverse as cancer. Perhaps Alzheimer's disease has many different causes, just like cancer.

Quote: "The US government's accountability office estimates all costs associated with the project will amount to one trillion dollars." What a waste. The money could be better spent, and I'm not referring to spending mon

My take in the issue is that Google is being mismanaged. China will not allow a foreign company to compete against its home grown search engines, so why bother? By bowing to Chinese censorship, Google hurts its public image. Google's m

It's not hard to test this hypothesis. All they have to do is look if the elderly show the same pattern as addicts. If they do, it suggest that a weakened immune system leaves the body vulnerable.

I see nothing here that suggests the link is causative. It could very well be that the toll of being an addict compromises the immune system leading to conditions that most people never get.

Then you've never done real science. The term science has become watered down. People confuse the words science and research and think they mean the same thing. They are not. Science is how we verify that reality operates according to

We basically expect deep neural networks to acquire language without a body that it can use to interact with an environment. I believe you cannot separate language from the body or the environment. A corpus of text is simply not holistic en

I work at a University and frequently need to read papers. I can only access the manuscripts on campus or through a VNP. That is way too much hassle, which is why I love Sci-hub. Sci-hub makes it easier to access the manuscripts than the pr
