Most of that reply was taking issue with using predator instead of carnivore or more broadly 'consumer', which is fair. Actually I'm not sure if that was what you were getting at, because this was in response to me pointing o

Theory is good. Not sure calling it a study in a headline is a good idea though.

Thanks! Yeah I suppose the possible scope for substantial military building absent a larger nation building project is limited

by kuhewa 4y ago
Sure but it still stands that there were probably lessons learned beyond 'what we did was a bad decision'. Perhaps regarding robust organisational development, since it appears we had attempted to building things up there in the

1. Maybe, I still haven't clicked on the article to be honest. 2. Yeah, since my first take before reading replies to point out it was exaggerated I reckon we don't fundamentally disagree. It has occurred to me since, the reason I

This comment made me wonder: if we had to do this again.. I imagine there been lessons learnt, but is there an alternative model to build up a military?

1. The comment wasn't about the new findings of the study though, it was just a note about the length of food chains in the ocean. 2. I replied to the comment to point out that it was a slight exaggeration but directionally is correct.

I'm confident there's a lot more life in the oceans than you are imagining. The majority of animal biomass is in the oceans. the reason for the massive 80x disparity is the study cited by that reference was doing a census based on

The replies to your comment were wild to read through, strong vibes of 'how dare you simplify something and retain the essence of a valid point but fail to include this one tangental aspect I thought of'

Well, the food chains are indeed longer and support more trophic levels [1], so with the same degree of cycling as you presented there are indeed more opportunities for complexity. [1] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2732212

Mammal species can be herbivores or predators though? If you are referencing the existence of omnivores, that's fair, but they'd just kinda sit at a half step between herbivore and predator. Really you'd want to consider not

by kuhewa 4y ago
Interesting, I don't think it's true on the extremes but I reckon that is true when you think of the abundance of megafaunal herbivores on land, like there's a dugong and a few decent sized fishes, but there's no prolife

Well, you have the same thing happening in marine sediments as well with interstitial organisms, and really in the water itself you have this still fairly poorly understood food web (see: Marine microbial loop) occuring before your reach a

But broadly, the distribution of thermal habitat isn't very complex, it varies across a latitudinal cline and at a broad regional scale with ocean currents but your don't have small island-sized patches of warm water for example.

I'm not sure what the greatest plausible number of trophic levels is for a single chain of consumption, probably 7 to terrestrial food chain of 5 (grass mouse. But on average food chains aren't that long, marine apex predators sit

Not 16x, but a 15 hour mouse fast definitely doesn't translate to diel IF type pattern in humans. There's a signal here sure but it probably corresponds to fasts of more than a day.
320.
by kuhewa 4y ago
I think it was 15:9 and since it is in mice it's hard to say but I reckon thats the equivalent of more like 24+ hour fasts in humans.

You had just been linked scientific sources in the parent of the comment I replied to right? And your counterpoint was that a lawyer said 'scientists' were on the jury.

No, I watched it, I'm a little surprised that one imprecise statement is compelling to you regarding a matter of scientific facts. I mean rather than taking it second hand from a lawyer that an unknown portion or a jury were 'scie

I've been meaning to use leaflet more for iterative portions of data exploration and designing a map, the stuff that a GUI and fast refresh times can speed up by an order of magnitude

Plenty of options, e.g. maps package makes it trivial to pull down data for another region and you have no shortage of projections that work well for other extents and latitudes, a number you can implement with ggplot2's coord_map(). M
