That is a symptom not the cause. News agencies have had to slash their budgets and can no longer afford to send journalist to cover stories

If cold fusion exists that produces more energy than it consumes, it would take some extreme conditions. If cold fusion could appear under normal-ish conditions, we would have already observed it and tapped into it

I remember baby formula from Amazon arriving with the tamper seal opened. I immediately realized what happened. Someone purchased baby formula, used it, filled it with powder, sold it at the Amazon market place, and then Amazon shipped it t

I would say the situation is getting bad. Many of my colleagues don't have heat. Water pipes are bursting everywhere. I never imagined this would happen in Texas, which from my observations was well run compared to other places I'

I don't know the full set of details, so it is possible there is no shenanigans. I did my best research, and found that Highland Park receives electricity from Oncor like the surrounding areas that don't have power. As for a backu

So what? Almost all transactions are going to be significantly smaller than a billion people usd. You are just focusing on an edge case. Bitcoin is a horrible system for conducting the vast majority of transactions.

Bitcoin's value is derived by the fact that an enormous amount of calculations (and therefore energy) are required to fake a transaction. But smart investors know that just because something is hard does not make something a worthwhile

> 1. If the presence of something is not a reliable feature of the environment, dependence on that something will be ruthlessly weeded out. Something is only weeded out if it is sufficiently disadvantageous . There are lots of examples

Natural selection may not select for simplicity. It may not try to reduce dependencies. A gene can depend on thousands of other genes. And a gene can carry out multiple functions

Research with human participants is being over-sighted to the point that real research is virtually impossible. I say this, having seen the IRB approval process for human subject research. Research institutes just don't want to take on

Hundreds of millions of dollars? Not even a billion dollars was set aside for vaccines as trillions of dollars are being lost?

I say good! I am tired of hearing about the “historic” space program. It is a reminder of what we have not achieved in the decades since then. It’s time to focus on what will be done, not what was done

I get that Workaholism is a form of escapism for many people, but that's not necessarily the case for everyone. I personally become depressed if I cannot work on something important and potentially valuable, feeling that the days pass

I believe the US requires stronger safeguards. The temptations to abuse power so great, the feeling that it is necessary to steer the world in the "right" direction by holding onto office so immense, that any centralized election

The beauty of the current system is that the federal government gets no say in who is president by placing the election into the hands of the States. Imagine what Trump could have done if the federal government oversaw elections. The electo

Yeah, I'm at a medical university and in a similar situation. However, I am hearing that far fewer eligible people are electing to receive the vaccine than hoped. The line to get the vaccine is far shorter than it was supposed to be. W

What I regret about the debate of “wealth” is how it is created. Is it obtained by a zero sum game or by benefiting everyone. I think taxes should reflect this

I added that sentence to make it clear that I am not an expert. I am highlighting how this appears to me. I was hoping that someone with experience working in clinical trials would chime in

I just read that Pfizer reports its vaccine as 95% effective, even though pharmaceutical originally reported its vaccine as 90% effective. This new number matches Moderna's reported effectiveness reported yesterday. I don't know e

Human extinction from nuclear war hinges on whether or not there would be a nuclear winter. I'm not convinced the article successfully refutes the possibility of a nuclear winter. The linchpin of this article is that the matter is unde

I use the putlocker test to determine if/when a search engine ceases to provide useful results. If a search for putlocker only yields .com domains and the like, it no is longer prioritizing the most useful results. Google long ago stop
