Looks like it triggered the flamewar detector. This usually happens if a post has more comments than votes, and the post did not reach the minimum threshold (40 points).
The effect size is quite large. From the paper, The differences were substantial: in some cases, such as total brain volume, more than a standard deviation. The effect size of d = −1.41 for total brain volume (Table 1)…

Which is moving the goalposts and changing the question. He's asking if a "hypothetical human time traveler" could survive hundreds of millions of years ago, and based off historical CO2 data, it could be possible.

>A hypothetical human time traveler, however, wouldn't survive a hypothetical time travel back to [the Cambrian explosion]. I assume you are referencing about CO2 levels. Yes, around ~500 million years ago, CO2 levels…
Fair, but that doesn't detract from the point that CO2 levels maintained 1000-2000ppm for over 100 million years. This was during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, when life was thriving on earth. Present CO2 levels…

Coffeeshops only need to print a piece of paper and tape it to the wall. The cost of compliance is less than $0.20 I think there are better arguments for your PoV than this one.
The pedestrian is 1) wearing black 2) not wearing any sort of safety reflectors 3) crossing in darkness not under street lights. In the safety video I linked, it's clear that such a pedestrian in the road would be very…
I think the point the poster is trying to make is that if the pedestrian was looking while crossing the street, they would have ample time to react to the oncoming car. Car headlights can be seen from over 1000 feet…

I have read the lawsuit, and it accuses Facebook of making false and misleading statements in their data privacy policy. It takes issue with this section of Facebook's privacy policy: While you are allowing us to use…
What material fact did Facebook lie to their investors about?
It is. In my experience, Cogent has more peering problems than other transit providers do (e.g. L3). The submitted article is a clear example of this. I don't find these peering problems surprising, given Cogent is much…
The real takeaway is that Cogent over-promises and under-delivers. If you want reliable transit, switch providers.
I am sorry, but you are still making the same mistake I pointed out earlier, conflating statistical concepts with colloquial ones. You don’t seem to understand the point I am making at all. To understand a statistical…
You are playing word games with the phrase ‘considered normal’. The phrase has different meanings whether you consider it from a statistical (as the submitted scientific paper would) or colloquial (as you are)…

The change in coverage occurred before Trump was president, when he was still a candidate competing for the 2016 Republican nomination. This wasn't just 'a new interest in reporting on The Whitehouse'.
He has touched the editorial side. Bezos personally ordered the Washington Post to cover as many stories as possible on Trump and the Post dedicated 20 full time editors to him at his direction. I don't think Bezos has…
Using weasel words like "standard network management" doesn't imply those standards conform to net neutrality principles. It's clear that that some of those standards, such blanket blocking port 25, are a direct…
