Well, there's actually evidence of pedophile blackmail rings for one thing; Franklin Scandal, Dutreux, Epstein, Hastert, Trump's mentor Roy Cohn. Nothing particularly Satan worshipping or Democratic party about it. Meanwhile, muh

There's some CIA disinfo right there. Rumsfeld and the neocon claque certainly ginned it up. The spooks though, said it would be a "slam dunk" that there would be WMD in Iraq. Here's Tenet grousing he was quoted: https:

I don't know how people are eliding "forests" from my statement about soil. Soil is important and poorly understood[0], which is ironic because it's where most carbon capture is happening now. Forests are nice, and every

I don't even know why this is a question. So, people burn hydrocarbons for energy. How do you expect to capture the carbon piece into a stable compound that can be buried without expending more energy? Please draw this chemical reactio

I appreciate you doing this. However .... what HN search feature? I went and read the 2013 comments; they certainly were critical of the website: almost a trope on HN, I guess considering how many people make a living at that. Nobody really

I think a first rank classics PhD is probably worth more than an average PhD in physics. The problem is, exactly as you say: the majority of "classical scholars" these days don't even read Greek or Latin; something the averag

Depends on the point in time, though obviously you have better data than me. I am pretty sure you'll eventually be able to say the same about Moderna, assuming they don't get away with a giant placebo swindle.

That's pretty disingenuous; the CDC presents the data in the same way.

They have a merit-based admissions reputation at least, and their small numbers keeps it exclusive. On the other hand, most Stanford guys I've met have also been sharp, and they graduate 700 PhDs a year according to someone below.

I'd love figures on how many PhDs are issued broken down by school in timeseries format. JDs don't count. Would be helpful to know who is debasing the currency. Caltech definitely isn't. One of the few actually elite institut

Decent program, but try to get some lower back work in there. That's an investment you absolutely won't regret. Sandbags work and are cheap; big rocks too. Bridges if nothing else.

There was some stuff about Spain in March 2019, though I didn't follow the paper enough to see if it made it into publication or was bad methodology https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.06.13.20129627v
