To quote your quote of my response: ---- > > Going from 8.9% to 8.5% is a 5% reduction in flu cases. If this translates to 5% fewer sick days during the flu-period and a 5% reduction in doctor visits that are due to flu symptoms (so

A computer can have access to sensory information beyond anything that a human can have. A computer can process that information hundreds or thousands of times faster than a human can. Therefore the computer should be held to a much higher

Ok, so coin holders are allowed to validate transactions between other coin holders, and for that they get more coins. But if I have no coins, I have to buy them from a coin holder with another form of money. So this system would require th

Imagine a stone being lifted. The weight of the stone is the current, and the height it is lifted to is the voltage. Both the weight of the stone and the height have an impact on the energy required to do the lifting. Now imagine you are li

Stealing $1.00 from a million people who won't miss it is more devious as you're less likely to get caught and if you get caught people are less likely to bother pursuing it. But I think it is impossible to say one is objectively
