That'd work if I lived in a tech centre, but I'm an expat out in the boondocks and moving isn't really an option for me.

I find that you need to study a lot of words rather than focusing on a few and get the meaning/spelling exactly right. If you have a loose grasp on the meaning of 200 words vs a perfect understanding of 50 words you are much more likel

I have a similar problem. I think I need external motivation, like a job or being a member of a team, to really be motivated to do something. Since I retired early, in my mid 30s, though, I don't have this kind of environment. When I w

If the people that actually understand the issue aren't advocating for its solutions, then who will?

I have a very similar problem as this, but often it's in another language, German or Spanish usually, to boot. The access I have to mess with other peoples' lives, if I so chose, is amazing.

The title is pretty inflammatory, insinuating Quantum Leap is useless. Further down in the same article: The paper used the results to estimate that a top supercomputer would need approximately 10,000 years to match what Sycamore did in 20

There haven't been a lot of species that are all genetic clones of each other until recently, either. Such a condition makes the arrival of a superbug much more likely. A species entirely made up of genetic clones is what this whole th

This is hard to respond to, because I don't know what you think I think. I don't think viruses have some sort of “neural or neural analog” or coordinate in some way, so I suspect you don't understand what I'm saying. I j

What does the number of ants vs humans have to do with the population of a species ballooning 1 million times its original size?

Your story doesn't add up. You wouldn't get charged with a DUI if you weren't over the limit, and that takes at least 2 to 3 drinks, minimum.

African Americans consist of only 13% of the population yet commit over half of the crimes. Asians and Whites score much higher on IQ tests than African Americans and Latinos. Women have innately different interests than men.

Right, and youay ne thinking, let's play the odds. But there is only once chance, so what do odds mean anyway in that scenario? Will you wall away a failure and still take solace in the fact that by the odds you were supposed to be

Yes, but is the amount of methane released anywhere near the same as CO2? Hint: methane is measured in parts per billion, whereas co2 is measured in parts per million.

From the very same wikipedia article you referenced, under "Current Outlook": Most deposits of methane clathrate are in sediments too deep to respond rapidly, and modelling by Archer (2007) suggests the methane forcing should rem

Methane is measured in parts per billion, co2 in parts per million... So, what is your point?
