Sure, it's just that the era of super high paying programming jobs may be over. And also, manufacturing jobs have greatly changed. And the effect is not even, I imagine. Some types of manufacturing jobs are just gone.

Everyone should do the tasks where they provide unique value. You could make the same arguments you just made for recorded music, automobiles, computers in general in fact.

As an ex-HEP, I can confirm that yes, we had blinding and did correct for multiple hypothesis testing explicitly. As Kyle Cranmer points out, we called it the "look elsewhere effect." Blinding is enforced by the physics group. You

He is implying that the scientists involved haven't thought of those questions, when in reality this field is one of the strictest in terms of statistical procedures like pre registeration, blinding, multiple hypothesis testing etc Als

I never said anything about practicality, you are confusing my replies with someone else's. I said this "But why do those fields deserve more money, when at least a large part of the problem is cultural." More money won'

That is fair. Is what you suggest possible though?

I agree that studying psychology better could be beneficial. Is it possible? Or more to the point, is it merely a matter of money, as you said? I said a large part of the problem is cultural, I did not say that psychology is the only field

But why do those fields deserve more money, when at least a large part of the problem is cultural. One example is the famous reluctance to publish negative results in psychology. Nearly all published results in (collider) particle physics a

I didn't claim that it means they are "bad" whatever that means. I am saying that we should take those claims less seriously, especially if the results from that domain don't replicate, as in the case of psychology and o

Depends what you count as hard science. The replication rate in high energy particle physics is near 100%? When the LHC started up they were able to measure nearly all of the particle resonances found in the 20th century. It's not like

As others have said, that's not what a Schwarzschild radius means. You would only get a black hole if all the matter is inside the radius. The Schwarzschild radius comes from the free space solution to Einstein's equation. It only

The copernican principle is separate from the model. Basically it says that our position in the universe is random - we don't exist at the center of the universe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copernican_principle

I've seen this discussion a lot, but what about when they hire a sound-a-like voice actor for a cartoon after a popular movie? Case in point, Owen Wilson was the voice of the main character in the Cars movie, but they got a different v

Of course, there would also be other markers. Fertilizers is one. Another is the plants and animals they used for food. Why are some plants and animals still indigenous to certain areas, assuming there was a small globe spanning civilizatio

But there are other chemicals that a civilization might produce that are also visible in the geological record. Fertilizers would also leave a mark.

If they were as advanced as we are now, we would have seen that the atmospheric CO2 levels had been higher back then, no? This paper draws the conclusions that such a civilization would be visible in the geological record. https:/&#x2

I think the point is it should be part of the upfront cost when searching, rather than something that shows up at the end.

I think at an individual level it is logical to make the choice to go to an ivy if you have the chance. But ivy league schools don't present themselves as just a networking opportunity. They present themselves as a way to get a much hi

Is this not a deeply cynical reason to go to an Ivy league school? Recruiters target those schools so you get a job that will allow you to make more money, and simply because you get access to better connected people (again to make more mon
