Whether it was appropriate or not depends on whether the criticism was legitimate or not. That is the legitimate purpose of legal proceedings to determine.

You find it shocking that he might have a valid case against them, or that he has money to waste on legal harassment ?

I wonder for curiosity and concerns; how and why the new DNA letters have not already evolved and do not already feature in the present range of living species? Should a firm understanding of this, no matter how far off, not be a prerequisi

Salt is not toxic in all respects - salt lakes and rock formations have been natural environments in themselves, which have been present and integrated with more common ecosystems throughout natural history. The challenge is how to understa

The press release contained current and next years prices - 200$/kWh @ 8hr storage is the current cost of flow storage. Its not really sensible to price 24hrs of li-on storage considering li-ons charge/discharge rate capability

> assume that we need 24 hours of storage or roughly 57600MWh. A modern redox flow or lithium ion battery can cost as little as $100 per kWh I think the flow battery can get even cheaper than this for 24hr storage. Recent price claims[1]

Sorry I dont share your idea of correctness between this control parameter and its formulaic effect. We might say the formula naturally wraps this angle, but the formula doesn't mind what space we prefer to map from. > If you instea

If the javascript class hackers want #these #things on top of this (this this this...) I don't begrudge them - it puts the functional style in an even better light, where of course keeping private state is already simple and routine.

That was bad luck with the downvoting, I have heard the gravitational narrative of stellar evolution and element creation before, perhaps in a Feynman lecture? I recall the idea that a cloud of hydrogen atoms has more gravitational potentia

Comparing these function references: `a_inc_instance.value === b_inc_instance.value` is true in javascript when the function `value` is a class method. In the closure/factory created version it is false - each function `value` is a dif

Yet again it is not true that we didn't find citations - I did for you. This avoidance and complaining about being given a worn out lecture really seems like bad faith. I wouldn't say that but you left our previous argument saying

It's the language of carbon capture which the IPCC uses. Of course they are aware of the differences between those molecules, but the common element of concern is - carbon.

We didnt find any reference to a "truly synthetic diet", so it remains a conceptual talking point which is of unknown economy and unknown capability to produce, yet it has been too easy to confuse the medical diet as evidence of t

It is a plain language term, pseudoscience most often alludes to science by misrepresenting scientific terms. In this context "wholesome" plainly refers to foods which provide broad but not necessarily complete nutrition, so they

I was replying to your own claims, but I dont think it actually is ridiculous to worry if novel food products could "wipe out the human population". Its just an unnecessarily extreme phrase for catastrophe, but it is possible. Dis

You didn't referenced anything approaching wholesome food. Of course there are a few simple compounds which are edible, but most artificial additives are extracted and processed from grown inputs, and this is susceptible to unexpected

Its a bit of a loose tour of theories, but certainly not bullshit. I spot things I disagree with like the widely held idea that Einsteins physics rules out an "absolute frame", the sense of that depends on a certain restriction of
