But maybe they are? I mean, if you agree on differences ("in some respects"), how can you then seriously expect to not see any differences in outcome at the end?
Why would that be great? And what the hell does "the profession is richer for it" even mean? Satisfaction of the practitioners in the field? You surely agree that this is not the only valid possible metric here. And not…
Just ask yourself: Why did CNN decide to publish this story?
> Go read about hemoglobin, its the one of the oldest genes in the genome, [..] What do you mean with hemoglobin as a gene?
I think the important point is: You can't turn over a document that does not exist.
Well, if it's collected as evidence, it is obviously too late.
You really think that this distinction holds up? Twitter, per se, not a public forum, but a specific account on Twitter (or what shall be the definition?) can actually be a public forum? And in doubt, who gets to draw…
Which major extinction event? Do you really think this is an appropriate comparison to proven major extinction events of the past (e.g Chicxulub, 66 m. years ago)?

Thanks for this link, really interesting review. Very convincing. And it does deliver, just see the notes: https://www.lurklurk.org/wolfram/notes.html And if I may, I'll add my favorite quote from Mr. Drysdale's review…

It was a scam from day one, and Gizmodo et al are only catching up now..
> [..] piggy backing on the current political climate [..] I wholeheartedly agree with your observation (including original comment), and you already found the reason here by yourself.
What makes you arrive at this conclusion? Apart from the issue that I would call that a misnomer. But don't get me wrong, I know what you mean here. But I believe that this article makes a very good point, because if…
Not sure what you're trying to hint at, but I'd say this should be part of the discourse and part of research as well, obviously. True to the principles of the scientific method.

What the hell did you expect from AlterNet?
Very interesting points... The disconnect between the expectations and reality. Well, to some degree you will always have it, but that is a very interesting facet, and I concur that it is somewhat increasing. It has in…
Yes, excellent video, I love that series. Can't recommend it enough, explains why size matters and how mass, surface and volume cause these effects.

Okay, then what is the exact position? Where are we in the cycle? Please enlighten me.. Even if we assume an observational error of just 1%, that is still +- 4000 years. 4000 years ago, the earth was still the center of…
But at least you learned about it.. thank god, I was starting to lose my faith in humanity. And thanks for the shout-out to Mr Pupin and Mr Mohorovičić, and for providing some links as well, I wholeheartedly approve of…
I was not, I have never been to Serbia in my whole life. I learned this in school nonetheless, I don't know what so say anymore. Many more had this covered in school as well, I believe, but hey, maybe you simply forgot?…
Wrong. It's a perfect test, to see whether a so called climate scientist is actually worth his salt. > There’s a large difference between being interested in the history of science, and who did what and where they…
The simple truth is: No one really knows. How do you determine the exact position in a cycle of 400000 years?
