I just arrives through the air. The electromagnetic wave will propagate with similar speeds through the air and wire.

Yes it does. Because the light bending by the Sun (predicted and measured in early 20th century) is bending of electromagnetic waves.

I am a scientist myself (obviously in one narrow field) and my approach to trusting the science is that unless I can myself evaluate the evidence, data, analyses, I'll trust the scientific consensus. I will not necessarily trust single

It'd be cool to be able to show the most similar fingerprints for any location. I.e. I want to see which locations have similar climate to city X.

I'm sorry, but studying category theory to save the planet sounds like something straight from 'the Onion'. For sure there are topics that (IMO) are worth studying to save the planet, i.e. physics, physics of the atmosphere,

Yes, I share similar thoughts. It was exciting when Julia came in, and it looked like it's going to replace a lot of python software in science. The symbolic differentiation is still quite nice. But every time I tried to code simple pr

I am wondering to what extent the central planning is much more tractable now with the amount of data and computerization. It is not like free market is perfect in adjusting either (i.e. situation with timber or computer chips or containers

As an immigrant (first in the UK after than in the US, followed by return to the UK), I can say the annoying things about different systems are unpredictability and long delays. I agree that it is up to every country to set up the rules who

That is your opinion. From my point of view, what I have seen is consistent with both natural and lab leak hypothesis. One can argue how much indirect indications tilt the scales one way or another (from my point of view not much), but at l

I think you are right. I was incorrect. Indeed that implies that campaining was prohibited from Friday on.

It is good there is more data being collected, so we can discuss actual facts with evidence, as opposed to pure speculations 'I believe it is a lab leak' vs 'I believe it is natural'.

I have no sympathy for researchgate. They syphon papers, they used black patterns early on to mass-send emails to invite people on the platform. And finally, as a researcher, I never found researchgate to be actually useful.

Funny enough, I actually had a plenty of issues with XPS and Linux. The machine would not go to sleep when I closed the lid and put it in the bag. The result - an extremely hot and loud laptop. I think that may have been a BIOS issue, as it

It is pretty horrific that we live in a society where such stories are considered okay. You can replace the bikes by something else and could easily believe that what is described is Dickens's story about 19th century London.

I don't agree with this calculation. Under the assumption that 1) you think about what to do then 2) you decide which decision to make then 3) the computer learns about it and provides it to organizers with 90% precision then I am pret

Given they only had 31 subjects, and the group with cannabis use without cannabis use differed drastically in alcohol and tobacco consumption, I think one should take these results with some degree of caution.

I think I mostly agree with this idea, but while removing pure investors from the market may offer some (or significant) help, however it still does not solve the mismatch between supply and demand. I think the removal of investors will low

I have mixed feelings about this. 1) It's nice that FAA reads newspapers and reacts in a sensible way 2) It's weird that they needed an article, rather than starting investigations after actual incidents.

IMO, 'A dubious writing style emerging in science' is a misleading title. It's not a style emerging in science, it's a discovery of a few more dumpster-journals, where they accept anything submitted including GPT generat
