It's not extraordinary to state that every single thing we eat[0] can have a study designed around it to show that it might cause cancer -- that is how studies and chemicals (things we eat) work. [0]Except water, maybe. I'd bet if

"Practical python" is undoubtedly useful to a biologist, but I wouldnt understate the utility of an intro to algorithms for technical but non CS majors. 'Algorithmic thinking' more or less doesn't exist in a lot of

How is it you think families get power, goods, and services? Ammonia makes fertilizer - this plant will help feed millions, dropping food costs. Even if the power this plant is generating won't go directly to families, it will be goi

In our current, over-regulated market: yes absolutely. In a healthy market, cost of low-end housing should approach the cost of labor + raw material (plus necessary overhead for e.g. inspections, plus a reasonable risk-adjusted return on co

I generally choose the tastiest option that works towards what I 'know'[0] about nutrition based on what I've already eaten for the day and what I am planning on eating later. Considerations like 'processedness' or

Your comment kind of illustrates his point though, there's a complete lack of mechanistic empiricism[0] in the discussion of nutrition. What is the metric for 'eas[iness] to overeat and whether it pays its rent in nutritional cont

The problem is utilization: you can't get 9000 persons per hour via busing in most places, weighting by area. Fixed routing scales poorly compared to cars (or bikes which have their own drawbacks) trying to match many-to-many riders-to

Imo it's due to people have a hard time separating the worth of their idea with their self-worth. So criticism of their 'baby' breeds negative sentiment which creates a challenging political environment for criticism, which w

Almost definitely: livers to implant need to be full sized and last years to decades. A test liver could be 1cm2, fit on a microscope slide, and have a two week shelf life. Not to mention that there is a much higher bar, ethically, regulato

It is well engineered and meticulously manicured garbage though. In your example, the harder it is to discover content the easier it is to realize there is nothing new to watch. (Hence the rotating thumbnails, for a trivial example)

Indeed, this is at least a decade behind the state of the art for CO2 electroreduction and adding PTFE to gas diffusion electrodes is hardly a novel concept (see: H2 fuel cells which likely pre date it's inclusion in CO2 cells). It mig

You could use a magnetic coupling to allow a true static seal. It's reasonably common in light-to-medium duty pumps for the same reasons around leakage, but there are limits on the transferable torque.

Being non-sensical is the point of that school of rhetoric. Briefly summarized: Power is being able to say something false, that the audience knows is false, that the speaker knows the audience knows is false, and that the audience knows th

Internal pressure would equilibrate to the partial pressure of helium in the atmosphere, presuming all other species can be assumed to have zero permeability. Osmotic pressure/semipermeable membranes is the analogous liquid system.
