I was surprised by this bit: 47% of global energy is spent on indoor heating, and 42% of that specifically for residential heating. Seems like a lot to me. A cynic may say that, if that's true, then global warming would be self-correct

It is a terrible idea. What are the consequences? Punishment for those who attempt and fail or punishment for the families of those who succeed by denying them life insurance, proper burial and so on.

I think the criticism that they don't normally respond to petitions is valid so I don't really want to point this out but they did respond to the petition to allow cellphone unlocking and that has affected change. Of course, the p

She chooses to think deeply and slowly about problems but I am sure she can think fast if she has to. You don't get gold medals at the IMO otherwise. http://www.imo-official.org/participant_r.aspx?id=926

If the standard in Psychology research is the so-called p-value being less that 0.05, it means that they publish results whenever the chance of the findings being a coincidence is less than 5%. It stands to reason that 5% of the published r

Your "legitimate grievance" adds nothing to explain the main hatred of the site, which according to the article, is anti-semitism. It's hard to believe that "Jews run Hollywood" is enough to explain that. I guess yo
