how there can be any skeptics about nuclear after Germany's fantastically disastrous decision to abandon it and instead become servant to and funder of 21st century facism is beyond me.

I really recommend this book which probes both natural and lab-leak origin theories https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/58647975-viral IMHO, it is very likely that lab-leak is the origin, though it does no

Not sure what do you mean by "already", but according to the ones we spoke - they are seeing a huge spike in demand this last year (which they correlate with masks and lack of in-person learning in very young kids). [*] "Mask

Mask mandates and lockdowns have an enormous costs. * It is estimated that lockdowns killed at least 238,000 kids in South Asia [1] * In rich parts of the world kids, especially from poor families, suffer from a huge loss in learning. Our s

whoever is in charge of Mozilla needs to go. They are no longer "fighting for the user" but virtue signal while doing the same things so-called "BigTech" does.

why DeepMind's papers all have logos and copyright statements on them and are hosted not on arxiv.org ? This looks so weird.

the University of California system (where I got my Ph.D.) just got rid of standardized test without proposing anything better.The admission is now even more unfair and subjective. First time in a decade I am not donating to my Alma mater.

did they succeed though? And if yes, did it came at the expense of "actual science"? An important lesson a parent should teach to their kids is that not 100% of what is taught to them is true and that some stuff taught to them is

"Can they get similar talent with draconian social policies like abortion bans? If I suggested moving to Texas my wife would (rightfully) tell me to go fuck myself." - I am very much against TX's policy on this. However, how

with Tesla, SpaceX, Samsung and other tech investing this heavy in Texas, when/will it surpass CA as a tech powerhouse of the future?

we have two kids: 4 and 7 and live in the Bay Area. And at this point every other parents we know of with kids of similar age are either private school, homeschool or are moving/have moved to Texas/Florida.

"Nuclear waste is difficult to deal with." This is false. It is easier and safer to store the waste from modern nuclear power plants than waste from production and used solar panels (which are conveniently outsourced to China now

wind and solar are heavily subsidized and nuclear is, arguably, over regulated despite being statistically the safest source of energy (as measured in deaths / twh)

no one is asking for 100% nuclear. Sure, when sun shines solar makes sense. But it can't satisfy all the needs all the time. Look at California - we are closing our nuclear and buying more electricity from Utah where it is generated us

being anti-nuclear at times of climate crisis is a moral and intellectual equivalent to being anti-vaccines during the pandemic

Intellectually being anti-nuclear is the same position as being anti-vaccines (talking not only about COVID here) and anti-GMO.

this is a good point. Everybody keep saying that US had a small inflation in the last 2 decades. Yes, prices of eggs/milk maybe didn't go up to0 much. But what about prices of child care, education, housing, health care, retiremen
