post calculation. You're effectively saying, that the movement is due to a change in the center of mass of the earth?

2 trillion tons = 1/3 of 1 billionth of the mass of the earth. the distance from the ground to the surface is around 5 millionths of the radius of earth (like 100ft) So you're talking about a change in angular momentum that is on

you have blinders on. Tucker Carlsens videos have tens of millions of views on Twitter. Heads of states and scientists from around the world still communicate via twitter. Even tumblr-weirdo types still post there. You couldn't be more

I laugh, as a conservative who was on the receiving end of these tactics 2 years ago. You reap what you sow.

People seem to be under the impression that Reddit is a good place, unless the new API changes take place. I'd like to take a stance... contra to that? - Reddit is a collection of echo chambers where users pile on and moderators ban

It’s pretty easy to make a Reddit clone right? Didn’t they release their source code?

Why does everyone have to hyper-specialize? Why is it normal to be a writer a nothing else? You mean you have no life experience outside of sitting at your word processor? You're gonna be a boring writer, no matter what you write about

I think people who are angry with Twitter, really tend to overestimate how many people leave. Only 1/61 of my followers left twitter after Musk took over, and this includes a few outright leftist/communist types who stayed.

why would Helion architecture be better than a stellarator approach?

what you are saying is, he found money for a startup he invested in, and is good at his job.

The big idea is that 'Environmental changes have had far greater impact than kings and battles'. And every unexplained major change in history was due to climate change. Why did the Mayan civilization collapse? Not war, you anthro

Totally, see the other reply thread - not even the engineers building it seem to understand the irony.

Huh? But blocking someone on a distributed protocol seems impossible? to block someone, or censor them, you would have to get every node in the network to cooperate. Sure you can “mute” someone and not see their posts personally pretty easi

perpetual motion is kind of guaranteed by quantum mechanics because absolute stillness is impossible.

I'm just not sure these regulations took into account a historically large pulse of stimulus followed by a rapid rise of interest rates.

you should be worried about the case where inflation continues to rise and the unrealized losses from these bonds increases and may cause a much more consequential default now that the bond portfolios are becoming more and more concentrated

Imagine if it was true. Would you be able to publish it? Would you be able to write a grant to get funds investigating it?

I believe that Franklin thought the DNA would be a triple helix like Pauling, not a double helix. And this is where Watson and Crick won out.

Correct. Green logic is unfair. In order to "prevent the climate crisis" you have to make sure the people of India and China do not reach the same standard of living as those in the West, you have to keep them in the mud. And Belg
