It's not just a question of belief, it's also a question of their information environment. The polarization in the electorate isn't just a question of what people believe, but what information their fed. Unfortunately,…
There's some discussion about a similar launch ~10 years ago (in that case going to L1) https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/2vb5kv/1second_laun...
The blog link describes the cleanup process. They take two pictures, each taking up half the total observation period. If you subtract the two images, the deltas should be the cosmic ray flashes. You can then subtract…
The study and the summary do not "assume" that the cause was inbreeding. They both assert that inbreeding could be a cause. The article says "The team suspects these deformities and tumors indicate a lengthy history of…
Yes-ish. There's a lot of different and overlapping programs in play here. I do not believe that autonomous F-16s are intended to be operational assets. That said... VENOM - program that shows you can bolt on autonomous…
Well, for caffeine you might... at least in the short term. But to be more specific: * Protein supplements make it easier for your body to get the protein required for whatever demand you're putting on it. You need…
Uh, dunno if I'd say that BW is dominated by "the young". Top 4 at the latest ASL are all born before 1995 - they're all millennials. None of them are from the first generation of BW pros, but they've been in the game…
I don't think Bret (the author of ACOUP) omits drought - he leads his section on plausible theories with "period of drying and consistent crop failures". While Bret dismisses the out to in migration/invasion theory, he…
Unclear how China will react to orbital/near-orbital launches that track near/over China in a hot war situation. If I were China, I'd probably be backdoor signalling that they would consider these launches to be…
The paper is an analysis performed on a larger dataset. No one created or ran a 15 year study on egg consumption. Someone ran a 15 year study that included dietary survey questions that happened to include eggs, and…
This map which combines population density and time zones makes some of the decisions more clear I think - https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/7vvlgz/contiguous_... The reality is that a lot of counties/areas in…
I think it's very fair to say that the mechanics of science is about creating and selecting ever more predictive models that explain observations. So that's the how and what. But what about the why? Why do we seek ever…
JWST has 4 different instruments on it. While they all share the same focusing mirrors, but otherwise are 4 different measurement devices. For the red dot observations, I believe this things have been measured by at…
From a rational standpoint, I don't understand how investors could feel betrayed by a pivot that involves creating two ovens to eventually allow the founder to capture 10% of the market. Functionally, I can't imagine a…
I like this part: The founder gets angry. He promised the VCs 10% of Spain’s oven market. The entire market. “We can’t sacrifice any of them.” It’s not just greed. The 5 million was raised with the entire market on the…
OP is talking about Canada's supply management system in place in some areas (including eggs). Supply management is a government system that basically puts all large scale production of these items under both a quota…
Didn't find the full study, but what I'm pretty sure is a preprint is here: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.05.05.25326994v... One thing to note and I guess might be a bit of the puzzle is that the data…
That's not what the article, or the paper backing it claims. The paper (https://circulareconomyjournal.org/ojs/JoCE/article/view/250) is about quantifying the environmental impact of material losses that happen in a…
In case you missed it, that was a joke. There is infact an Army Corps of Engineers that is responsible for exactly what the comment suggested (amongst a lot of other things). The Army Corps of Engineers has its…
Can you clarify? Do you mean that superconducting qubits are unable to perform the "real applications" theoretically, or that superconducting qubits at the scale this foundry could produce will be unable, or that…

A libertarian society doesn't coddle you, but it still accepts that the state has monopoly of force, and it accepts that the state needs to be fair and predictable. I think the author's fear would be that we currently…
From https://web.mit.edu/16.unified/www/FALL/thermodynamics/notes... All other things equal, range varies proportionately with efficiency. Ie, if you have 500km range at 50% overall efficiency, then at 65% overall…
This might be interesting: https://www.nationalacademies.org/read/23490/chapter/6 Thermodynamic efficiency (which is what turbine blades enable) has increased from ~30 to 55% over the last 50-60 years. The book…
This is a phys.org "article". They're usually just rehashed press releases, and this one is particularly bad - it's literally just the NASA press release with the last 2 paragraphs chopped off.…
