Do you study atmospheric analysis? Weather prediction is not great currently and the weather is getting more volatile. Why should someone be allowed to implement a design at scale without testing and solving the downstream problems first? T

Everyone buying new phones and changing the infrastructure for marginal gains sounds super efficient.

You could just as easily have switched those words and that would make just as much sense. supposed benefits << cost and expected negitive externalities

Infrastructure is intrusive and imposes problems on the poorest people and wildlife who are forced to live near it, I'm not sure why you find that funny. The difference is people need power, not 5g. If you don't need it then why w

Smaller/lighter/faster phones and battery banks are already available, without 5g. Why do you need 5g specifically? It's value has to exceed the value it destroys. Not all tech developments are net improvements.

That's a technical feature. The user outcome is fuzzy because you don't know really how weather prediction interference and increased RFI will play out for users.

The landfill has CH4 off gassing, which is usually burned and used to power things. It also supports it's own ecology and residents. The transporting of rotting food around is pretty ridiculous though. You might make your distributed

There is a high loss to atmosphere/runoff on burying your food in the soil for recovering it later as available fertilizer nutrients.

I think you're oversimplifying the situation. Alzheimers could be caused by human choice and 40 years of human life has more than monetary value.

The manager is not responsible for doing any work, only meta work. The metric of work output measures mgmt value input indirectly. You need to look at their actual interaction and analyse the meta work they do directly to get a true account

I just learned this myself, but apparently if you don't cite yourself as the source of previously published information it's considered self-plagiarism.

That is a very lazy way to construct an incentive system, sounds like an HR "innovation" not legislation.

Rotenone (which has it's usage restricted in omri) and pyrethrin are pesticides, copper sulfate is anti fungal; these non synthetic moderately toxic treatments are replaced with other, generally more toxic treatments in non-organic cro

Toxicity and microbial selectivity are not the same. Whole food's positive biotic selectivity benefits could be negated by toxins present. I'm not really sure what "doing better" means bc it depends on the individual. L

No it isn't. Glyophosate is broadspectrum herbicide for use with gmo glyophosate resistant crops only, there is no organic analogue to this. Also consider that the concentration used is much higher for glyophosate application and the r

The difference is between the known interaction of chemicals that have existed for a considerable time as an agricultural product and synthetic chemicals that have unknown interactions.

For a large N, the study is only less likely to produce a false positive. It is more likely to produce a false negative though. There is an optimal N where type 1 and 2 error are minimized which is not infinity.

That doesn't preclude people from responsibly modifying cars or building their own planes or whatever.

Good point, these graphene membranes would be useful if they were chemical resistant or stronger. So that the membranes could be backwashed and chemically cleaned more easily.

Coal plant emissions contain toxic substances other than CO2. Also consider the fly ash disposal and the environmental disruption of mining. So, yes, aside from CO2, continued energy production using coal is an unsustainable strategy.

Research focused universities are R1. Professors are required to spend more time on research and less on instruction.

IIRC they download the paper as you enter the doi if it is not already in their catalogue; so does moscow library just not have subscriptions to the journals you're looking for or what?

Holding a divergant opinion and expressing it is not necessarily an act of pride or manipulation. To remain silent is often to implictly agree with an assumed group consensus.

RO water has to stored in plastic be because it is acidic. Most people don't realize that after you RO filter your water you need to add alkalinity back to it. Also if you get the ppm too low, it will leach nutrients from your body whe
