Yes, processed meat alternatives tend to be significantly higher protein per unit mass than beans. But other metrics like protein per calorie can be useful.
I see. But now you're in a weird state where you're saying (something a bit like) "at most n^2" to mean "not at most n". Which isn't particularly precise.
It's entirely nonsensical to use O as a lower bound though. You could have two companies no growth whatsoever in value and correctly state that one has O(n) growth rate and the other has O(n^2) because a constant is…
Yep
This is one of the myriad situations where Omega should have been be used, not O. What are they teaching in schools these days?
This seems like a new definition of entropy unrelated to existing notions of entropy relevant to language. I'm not sure I buy "entropy = 1/abstractness"...
Have you heard of pandoc?
I've never understood striking guidance either. It seems that over long enough distances everyone is a heel striker too, it's just more efficient. So I'd assume that any advice you hear is more pace-dependent than it…
There are more accidents in the US than in civilized countries. Per mile.
This is often user error. Many bike lights have a daytime mode that is far too bright for night. But winning the arms race is so important...
Some of the current players are already screwed. There is less water available than is desired. The government isn't supposed to come in and screw everything up they're supposed to spread the hurt around "fairly" or in…
Right, naively assuming the creation of a management class is a good thing doesn't sound wise.
Most academics didn't choose the career for the management side of their responsibilities. Perhaps concentrating those responsibilities in a few managerial types would free many people to do what they really want.
https://nrich.maths.org/frontpage British, run by some fantastic people from the University of Cambridge. Arguably there is no institution with a better reputation in this domain. I did some front end and back end work…
Warning: study is in mice and is quite specifically about schizophrenia. Your mileage may vary.
Is ultra-processed the right thing to target? European countries seem to go for labeling that indicates the balance of macronutrients and other important things like sodium. In the UK there's a traffic light system for…
Thomason is a phenomenal lecturer, and clearly a great mathematician. It was kind of crushing when he called my Part III essay "pedestrian".
I'm an academic. I think you make valid points but get the effect size wrong. It's entirely possible to contribute to academic fields without intimate knowledge of 50 years of past results. Breakthroughs come from hard…
An excellent question, it seems way outside my high school chemistry knowledge that you could calm water with a tiny amount of anything, be it alum or otherwise.
This sentence is... wow. "At least in America you can choose to go bankrupt in exchange for quality health care treatment." I'm so glad the founding fathers protected my right to bankrupt myself at the hands of an…
The EU gets to decide their local tech market. Should apple stop selling phones there on principle?
In my field, which is not science, MDPI seems to publish many, many bad journals. They're embedded in the for-profit publishing corner of the science-industrial complex and I would consider the very real possibility…
Because in the US verbose, complex and bespoke signage is commonplace so clearly the powers that be do not have an intuitive grasp of this concept.
My take is that there's some vicious cycle going on with cheating. It's comparatively hard to cheat significantly in a pen-on-paper exam in a classroom proctored by vigilant humans. It's much easier to cheat on other…
