Not very close at all. Every map that is made leaves out an enormous amount of the territory because that detail is irrelevant to the map being used or created. The more detailed the map is, the more one should recognise just how much more

Workplace automation should be about automating specific tasks out of existence and providing a better opportunity to those in a job to be better at it and to do those things that should be under the control of people. I spent years automat

The thing here in Australia is that you can obtain the phone number (the olds POTS number) as your own and as it is on VOIP, you move you take it with you. My number is now mine and no longer assigned to any of the telco's.

Unfortunately, no amount of legislation will stop the the practice. If someone can manipulate images, they can manipulate who is supposed to have done the manipulation. It becomes a sorry mess and all sorts of people will be adversely affec

Having worked with Sales and Marketing teams in various ways over the decades, I have found that they are focused on making something engineering useful into uselessly pretty and engineeringly dysfunctional. They seem to have in their brain

The rule to use is this: If your employer asks you to do something and there is no moral imperative to to what is being asked, even if you do not think it is wise to do it, just do it. If your employer asks you to do something that has some

You reference the Zero-point energy article on wikipedia. What is interesting is the following quote from the very first paragraph of that article > if it is to be Lorentz invariant such that there is no contradiction with Einstein'

You say > Obviously the guy in the video was making the implicit assumption that we are talking about local experiments. And yet this is not discussed by Steve. And that "obviousness" and "implicitness" is your partic

When you say > If you want to consider dark energy perpetual motion, sure, but then it's excluded from the "we know that perpetual motion is not possible" rule. That's the incongruity here. You can hedge it around in

If you listen to some of the experts (professional scientists) about the matter, their language gets very iffy very quickly. Especially when they says things like "dark energy driving the expansion of the universe at a faster rate&quot

Steve makes an interesting statement when he says "we know that perpetual motion is not possible". Yet we have a modification to the general cosmological view with the theoretical entity "dark energy" which if you consid

It's obvious from the Abstract that they are not referring to the Dunning-Kruger Effect as it is NOT mentioned in the Abstract, which is the highlight of the paper. Actually who the hell knows when the paper is essentially behind a pay

This is highly nuanced. There is certainly a case for punishing a family and its generations when the culture in that family is to do evil (example any crime family). But to punish a family for the evil of one member who goes against the cu

Why is anyone surprised about this? Fraud is all about money and there are many people who will participate in such if they think they can get away from with it. Keep in mind that scientists are people too.

Thank you for your response. > It's an inhuman relation created out of the idea that women are property. That is a very general statement to make. What particular societies would be compliant to your claim? There are some that would

It depends on just how much data and how extensive that data collection was. I have recently being trying to get data on various projects and when you read their fine print associated with that data, it is not any where near as extensive as

If you read the article carefully, there is quite a disconnect between what they are saying and what they actually measured. If the article is correct about what they did actually measure then the study is mostly useless. To validate their
