People just need to use other services. 1) DuckDuckGo is great for search. 2) Protonmail is great for email. 3) gab.ai instead of twitter (heard about it but never used it; I guess twitter has some use...). 4) Voat instead of Reddit (it see

Or take the stefan-boltzmann law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan%E2%80%93Boltzmann_law In what sense is it "an application running on the quantum mechanics operating system".

From your link: >"Today, in the quantum information age," In what sense do we live in a "quantum information age"? Edit: Also, is there an example of a physical theory "running on the quantum mechanics OS"?

How is this defending the church? It was clearly a totalitarian organization where if you pissed off the wrong person they would find an excuse to imprison or torture you.

I figured the person you were responding to held that attitude. That if an idea is not novel its not worth publishing, like this story in their opinion.

Galileo was friends with the pope, but then called him an idiot in one of his books (named a character "the idiot" that used the Pope's arguments). That is why he got imprisoned.

They didnt have anyone on an actual low carb diet in the study, so they made up their own definition and then drew conclusions about "low carb" diets.

by nonbel 8y ago
There is zero reason to extrapolate from 20% (apparently the lowest percent seen in the study according to the figure), to a keto diet (5-10%). You won't even be in ketosis at 20%...

Its common to think if your research results are not novel it isnt worth publishing. That's one reason why there is a replication crisis.

You see this all the time. People will write stuff like "Crispr/cas9 is really, really awesome so dont think we're saying its not but we found out its toxic in this new way" Or "Global warming is a huge problem and

Well, the first study is the low carb = 40% of your calories from carbs study: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpub/article/PIIS2468-2... So, this is worthless.

"Evidence-based" seems to end up meaning practices like NHST where there is evidence involved, but the analysis is so messed up you can conclude anything you want from it. And its really funny they use "evidence-based medic

I think the "common conception" comes from Land Before Time and Jurassic Park, it seems almost everything we learned about dinosaurs from those movies is wrong. Edit: I just looked it up and discovered both were made by Steven Spe

I'm not downvoting anything, just trying to figure out what you are trying to say. Can you give names to the multiple vectors of time?

What does a classification have to do with time? Edit: And what does "vector" add to your sentences?
535.
by nonbel 8y ago
I've never heard of a "time vector descriptor", so what do you mean?

by nonbel 8y ago
Thats what I meant to imply. Dinosaurs are a type of bird that were bigger than "elephant birds", so the headline is (most likely) wrong.
