The thesis was known from the very beginning. The rest is just window dressing to justify the outcome. I still scratch my head about some no-brainer vaccines such as HPV. All upsides, prevents the literal cancer. No…

You can use a turbine to generate electricity, so yes, you are converting potential energy into electrical potential. However, no real mass produced passenger plane today can use that electricity for flight (thrust).…
Not really. While you have a large potential energy buildup at a higher altitude, you cannot "bank it" / "save it" on descent. There is no way to store it in batteries or convert it back into fuel. One of the challenges…
Many airports (in the US, at least) make much more money from parking fees than everything else. On top of that, at least some operate their retail in a royalties model too (ie 20% of all sales goes to the airport,…
> Reviewers can be professors, PhD students, etc. and are paid by the journal for their time. Most journals do not pay for reviewers time. There are some experiments that allow for this, but I would say 99% of the…
It's possible they checked before (and the article suggests they had an inclination where the gene should be) but the resultant backcrosses involved a spontaneous recombination of the relevant fragment. It's possible…

Magically using billions of federal money to hold assets to maturity is a bailout. If hypothetical JPMorgan is willing to pay for the (ie) bonds $20B, but they "support" $25B of deposits... that $5B is a bailout. Even…
Happy to report that it actually has happened in the end.
In their defense, if the backup requires accessing archive tape drive records, long processing queues in non-scalable systems, etc - this could easily take 24 "physical" hours of things getting lined up correctly. It's…
I've been waiting for an archive of my data for 3 days now. And my activity on Twitter is probably bottom 25%.
I think the US needs an honest assessment about the cost of such high degree of car centricity. There are layers of laws and regulations establishing car as a dominant method of transport, and actively discriminating…
Then you end up with a problem of clear cutting "useless woods" in order to install solar panels. While I don't think the French solution is flawless, it introduces an interesting dynamic. Generally, I am against large…

That's SBAS/WAAS! another cool thing This is trying to measure ionosphere disturbances which affect signal propagation rates via ground reference stations. The real-time model is then calculated and distributed using…

It's easy to agree that number of papers published is a poor indicator of "quality" or "quantity" of raw science generated... but we hardly have anything better. Publication record is the currency at the moment. And for…

This is a valid point, but I think ignores amount of public health resources "spent" on trying to address vaccine hesitancy and healthcare resources addressing "unnecessary" hospitalization and complications. Now…
