"5 million 40-year jobs" = ~320 billion work hours = ~30 trillion dollars. My point is not the amount of money. It's the crooked rhetoric in use.

Britain is in very good spot from renewable energy generation point of view. It has lots of wind, tidal and some solar energy too. Countries next to it have worse situation considering renewables and have just as high population density. Im

Also political shift is needed. Currently in Finland you need parliament permission for any new nuclear plant. If you are likely to get only one permission every 8 years, you have to go big to have any impact. Which seems to be the reason w

I think this college rivalry thing could should be used to benefit science. I'm from Finland, country of good PISA grades for 15 year old kids. Also a country with lackluster universities according to Shanghai rankings. Our universitie

First thing that came to mind about the study was that if participants have to wake up at certain time every day, and they have to be still for 30 minutes, they are likely to use that eating breakfast. For me having fixed sleep rhythm and

I live in Helsinki, Finland. There is kind of China Town in my city. The local technology university has somewhat high Chinese population. I lived at the uni campus and there was this incident about shady van going around and distributing w

It doesn't even have to taste like meat. I just don't like to eat tasteless rubber. Then the next problem is that I'm poor bastard. I can buy groung pork for 4,50e/kg, or half a chicken for 2,50e/kg. Tofu costs 12e&

I don't know how to perfectly prepare anything. Most foodstuff is still quite enjoyable.

I'd like to taste a convincing argument that tofu is actually delicious to eat. I'd rather eat fried ants.

There was recent article on some big media house about transplant uterus implanted into woman. And she delivered a healthy baby. There was some hint that completely artificial uterus could be possibility in the future. The shitstorm from wo

I'm pretty sure some leftist SJW really can't see this as counter productive. It's not just employment, this shit cuts through everything. I can't imagine how this crowd could side with the white supremacists knowingly.

Maybe. If I could somehow target that money to content that interest me, then yes. But I would not fund news coverage of British royal family. You could make it into "crowd commission". That might instill bit of healthy pride to t

>2. What p-values tell us isn't necessarily that interesting. High p-value is the first thing to look at a study. If it's high, then you can simply assume the findings are unreliable. But if it's low, it doesn't yet m

So "probability to perceive what you are perceiving just because of dumb luck"? Then research with high p-value would just mean "we tried, and we still know practically nothing".

Then if you take into account that with large populations people seem to follow incentives quite strictly. Nobody can recall they didn't buy bottle of jack because of additional 5% tax. But that tax increase shows in alcohol consumptio

My take on drugs is that kids should not use them. Not because I say so or because some of them are dangerous. But because I hope they really don't need to self medicate broken psyche. So the best way to dump addiction is not to ban al

In Instagram there is pretty substantial amount of traffic about soft core porn. The women get thousands of followers with nicks like "ehg bloblo". If you look who he is and what he follows, it's just other girls who show som

I agree that it's major problem. But I still don't think it's existential problem for internet itself. If some person has to delete twitter account, that doesn't really justify who someone else could not order pizza via

Most people are not idiots enough to hang at notoriously neo-nazi filled irc channel and argue with them. Most people don't get death threats at internet. So internet is not lead plumbing. It's more like early electric grid, where

>Why is it so easy to radicalise these youths? The answer is obvious. Look at the opportunities these youths have in front of them. That doesn't explain high school students joining ISIS from most affluent area in Finland. These peo

You can turn forward momentum directly into upswing. So if he does switch at the low and high point of a swing, it might work. At low point he would shoot bit backwards, at high point bit forwards. He doesn't need to maintain height, b

Then the underlying reason would be price. Prestressed concrete can't compete with steel in strenght/weight ratio. But the strenght/price ratio makes it good choise for some budget designs.

Point was that it's not necessarily "because you made me look stupid". If that was the case, I would believe to be utter moron by now. (Getting sarcasm is not my thing, but that doesn't keep me from using it..)

I'd hate you mostly because of the lost brain power. Obvious sarcasm is OK, it's the guesswork that gets under my skin.

Personally I avoid talking about those mistakes because they were not my mistakes. Nor mistakes of my country. I have absolutely no qualms with Iran, and never had. You could call me nationalist and cultural relativist. I really think any n
