To answer your question, yes soup is easy to make, but good soup can be as complex as a full meal. A good soup comes from a good stock and a good stock only comes from building it yourself. So you need chicken or beef bones, vegetable peali

I understand the historical context of laws, my point was they are fundamental and we can believe them as fundamental truths. But those truths are layered, for example the world is round to a point but if holographic projection hold true, t

I believe when the proposition is socio-economic changes being proposed based on research there is a high bar and a high standard for that science and for the researchers conducting that science. I am not sure if I am there on climate chang

So on the 2016 and 2017 bleaching there is no doubt that in the presence of higher temperatures the nitrogen (and for that matter micro-metals like zinc in sunscreen) become more deadly. Ocean temperature is only speculation as they did not

Honestly I don't think they should ever say it, had we said that Newton's Laws where settled, I mean they are laws after all, we may not have general relativity. I don't think science is ever settled and if we find a unified

Climatology is not thermodynamics just as organic chemistry is not biology. To equate them is a false dichotomy. Just because one builds on the other does not mean that they are as fundamentally sound in their predictive ability.

It is evidence of a prediction, there are plenty of them out there. I used the first one I found as I have several threads going on, on HN so I was trying to provide a quick link that supported the claim that, there have indeed been predict

They are an authority, Saying it is settled tried to end the debate in the laymen eyes. OK maybe I can draw an analogy maybe it will just be more confusing but I will try. I see it as akin to a police officer telling you, you are under arre

You are right I am not an expert, that being said I have a confidence in my scientific background enough to weight a science as a whole, and there is no doubt that climate science is not on par with say physics or chemistry. I think this va

They come from a position of trusted authority. I am just some hack on the internet. It is not settled, it may be settled that the world is warming, it may be even settled that we are contributing a significant potion of it but the impacts

It's not false, the article you link to provide no data, nor does any of it's references that I checked and basically just states a lot of scientist agree. Which I don't deny, I have my skepticism as to how accurate climatolo

I don't disagree which is why I mentioned that I felt the data does show an arrow towards the world warming, but that is a personal feeling based on a personal assumptive conclusion based on the research I have seen. There are still se

It is a pet peeve of mine when I hear a scientist parrot this trope: "always kind of wondering why there’s persistent levels of denial about something that the science is more or less settled on" It seems like we have lost all rat

I fells for the same trap and I would caution any readers considering learning Clojure, that do not already know Emacs, to not fall for the same trap. It sets you up for a harder road and increases the chance of failing to achieve your goal

Was going to highlight the same thing. even in OO if you are not using tooling like autocomplete, you have to mentally map all of those attributes. Fortunately autocomplete is fairly ubiquitous and it exists for Clojure as well. Visual Stud

Then we should see bleaching and die-offs is most of the reefs around the world. There should not be a pattern of reefs dying off near industrial farming and reefs thriving in remote locations. Which is exactly the pattern that we are seein

In the presence of warmer water the reef will not die, in the presence of the chemicals the reef will die. Ocean warming does allow the chemicals to mix more freely but is not the cause, nor will fixing it stop the process of reef bleaching

No, I want to be clear, I certainly was not arguing that point, just making the point that I view the current state as an advancement over where we have been, in relation to past web development trends.
