We actually do need to talk about those feedback loops. Really. In science that is extremely important, we probably don't disagree. This is obvious. For laymen who vote about this shit and need to be informed? Again important. If we

Parody is ageless art form. I would not have canned shit in gallery over and over again. Having different kinds of bad art in gallery is always hilarious. But I have to admit I'm but of troll. The real treat is art snob fetishising ove

CEO is just a human. With about 16 wake hours per day. When company get's big enough, the role of CEO gets more and more about enabling the employees to create value. Consistency is valuable on it's own right. And it increases as

Now make "self driving container ship". Would that scale them down? The crew cost/cargo value would go to zero. So you could optimize for singe size of ship that is mass produced.

Lets assume that CEO can fuck up so bad that it will bancrupt a company. Star CEO has 0,1% chance of fuck up/year. Good CEO has 0,2% chance. And completely mediocre would be about 0,4%. Hire three mediocre dudes to CEO the company so t

The evidence clearly points that: 1. CO2 causes the greenhouse effect. This can be replicated in aquarium. It's a fact. 2. Burnind fossil fuels creates CO2 as material does not disappear. Carbon included. 3. CO2 is not absorbed by ocea

You have good point here. The person I choose to believe is the one who talks about radiation balance and p-values and confidence intevals. Then I expect to see peer revieve publication and some peer revieved confirmation. It's also po

I'd really appreciate Ra values. And some info about heat affected zone aka HAZ.

You have to be philosophist with a degree and specialization in philosophy of science to consistently make that argument. Are you?

This case was based on: "We should pity David Brooks, because he is not getting laid. And he is slowly losing his sanity." The author is free to write that. But I'm not going to spread the link.

Argument from authority is not invalid when it can be backed with fact. It's often unnecessary, because you need the fact anyhow. In some cases it's justified to save time. Like in the military.

I was skeptic until I studied the history of the subject. It's a sad state. Nobody would expect to study lets say material science from historical perspective. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_climate_chang

If you agree because someone says so, that's just another form of ignorance. If you really wish to know the shit, you find the facts science has provided. There are facts. This "99% of scientists" stuff is making the signal&#

I didn't say anything about climate change on the above comment. I only said the argument was not solid. I'm not "climate skeptic", I'm true believer. I just try to combat these authority heretics.

Actually "warming -> melting ice -> less reflection of sun -> less heat" would go other way around. If you have light surface it's likely that lot's of visible light is radiated to space. If you have blue sea in

Science is about finding truth. Truth doesn't give shit what anybody thinks. (Except in psychology, but lets not get there.) Scientific consensus is just educational and political tool. Get everybody on the same page. But it's pre

It's quite normal to deny something the entire scientific community is saying. In everywhere except math it's business as usual. Most of our current scientific knowledge was originally someone disagreeing with the majority. It&#x2

I skimmed your article and I'm now convinced that Albert Burneko is a mean person. That was about 3479 words of ad hominem. I have to respect such persistence. But I have no opinion on David Brooks.

But human genetics mostly unchanged from the days we hunted mammoths. I'm not advocating sacrifice. I just think most guys need the feeling of contributing to stay sane.

Subs are weight limited. There is current trend to make control surfaces out of glass fiber to save weight. The vessel has to be buoyant despite 80mm thick steel skin. Spain just had trouble with too heavy sub. http://www.dailyma
