I'm pretty sure that Higgs had 2 independent experiments at >3 sigma which at the time added to more than 5 globally.

The world isn't binary where 5 is absolute truth and 4.99 is irrelevant. 3.1 is better than 1, so people think about it more than they think about 1, but less than they think about 5. This is how science _actually_ works.

Isn't the relationship between unions and corporations NECESSARILY confrontational? A corporation would like to pay its employees as little as possible. The employees would like the opposite. What am I missing? - genuine question.

Your argument for why OO is good is that you prefer one syntax over the other? The examples you gave are just syntax and have nothing to do with OO. You could imagine a language that isn't OO but where you could define the . operator t

Yeah, that's often the case but I wanted to make a conservative claim. Two personal examples where Julia turns out to be much much faster than Python without me having to do anything but the most naive implementation: - order of 10 flo

This post illustrates one of the reasons why I love Julia. When talking to Python colleagues about Julia one response is "well, but I don't really care about performance _that_ much". The thing about Julia is that you can cod

Looking at your comment history, it seems that most of your comments lately are about the lockdown being bad. You might have been radicalized... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radicalized

So I actually checked and... turns out you're right. According to Wikipedia, "paradox" can either mean "logically self-contradictory statement" or a "statement that runs contrary to one's expectation"

I like how you put paradox in quotes. I also annoys me when people call these things paradoxes. They're more properly called counter-intuitive phenomena. I wonder if there's a single-word name for that.

Thank you. Does anyone understand the difference between this and Simpson's paradox?

Not tactful, but he has a point. Some people are just fundamentalists (with bad fundamentals).

It's none :D If you knew anything about chemistry past checking wikipedia, you'd just call it none.

Except, there's no hydrogen in Venus.

That's reasonably impressive.

That's been thoroughly debunked.

Venus is almost guaranteed to be currently uninhabited because that planet has almost no hydrogen in it. Almost all "complex chemistry" that we know of involves hydrogen. So to those people who say "but but but that's ju

Does anyone know how these things work? Why did he resign the first time? Was he asked to and he accepted for no reason and now regrets it? Or was there a mechanism used to force him?

Can you explain to me why someone would want to buy such an ugly car? Is it just elon fanboyism, or is there more to it? Probably there's more to it and I'm out of the loop :D

Yes, but... those jobs are even harder to get into than investment banking :-)
