  1.  @truthseeker2568  - How about first changing the culture of gun worship and threatening responses? But no, let's have church leaders show pictures of themselves holding guns, let's have politicians focus on readiness to use guns, let's have Fox News talk about the need to "stand your ground" when there is no legitimate threat to you.

  2. Humans strive to fit observations to patterns. For humans, recognizing patterns can improve survival. Since it is that important, you evolved to FEEL that understanding relationships (including seeing patterns) is good. That's why. Sure, there might be applications for this math, but it doesn't matter. When you see a pattern emerge, you are programmed to feel pleasure at some level.

  3. That we do it is not crazy. What is crazy is the desperation part you mention. The unwillingness to even see what is obvious.

  6. He will be ignored. President Eisenhower helped save the U.S.A. and the world from Nazism. He warned the US about the military-industrial complex. Did it change anything? No, because too many people count on their institutions to change things, not themselves. They think saying, "Yeah, that's a problem - go figure" in idle conversation is enough. Some other folks will organize and fight the problem and that is enough. It is not. So, how many people younger than 30 know about Eisenhower's shocking warning? It is shocking because he was the PRESIDENT of this country and formerly and literally the world's single most powerful general IN HISTORY. And he is ignored by most people. So, do you think Snowden will have made a difference. Almost certainly not. Not that all of those willing should not fight to the death against "the machine" (not easy to define, btw). However, humanity has a clear fate that AI will take over. First, it will be human authority and technology, and most people will be quite happy. Eventually, though, AI will rule everyone. How can you even stop the process if people won't stop it now, when there is the greatest chance of success (and even that is grim)? Yeah, in the long run, any surviving humans will never know who Snowden was. Of course, the AI will - it will learn from his example to shut down those who speak to power.

  8. You ever try to stop people using a device that does NOT reek like cigarette smoke and can be disguised and hidden quite easily? For decades, there have always been some kids smoking pot and cigarettes in some bold fashion or another. Add in the ease of disguising vaping and the lack of widespread odor, there is very little one can to do stop it. So, how much resources should a school expend fighting very ineffectively against vaping. IMO, what was needed was better laws and better enforcement along with generally more rapid public outrage against the advertising in general AND especially against the teen-oriented marketing.

  9. She IS supposed to help with security of the premises! I might have agreed with a decision for her to remain aside for reasons of law and safety. However, that she was filming shows all she wanted was a cheap video. She could have at least found out how to help even if it meant not getting physically involved.

  11.  @blue-cg8uz  - I am sorry you were told that. It is nonsense. As a properly educated physicist and meteorologist, I would love to know what research source you've read and how it was peer-reviewed. The Irish Potato Famine had multiple causes. First and foremost, the Irish were horribly oppressed by the British, arguably worse than slaves(!). Yes, that's true. The British did not provide food or any care at all for the Irish, unlike slave owners who would at least keep their valuable slaves alive to keep them working! The British didn't let the Irish even live in cities or hold a trade, let alone own the land. The British took that. They destroyed the ability of the Irish to handle a famine. In fact, records suggest Irish food exports went UP during (was the first year?) of the famine. The British were unbelievably cruel to the Irish. The second reason is a fungus, called a blight, that infected the Irish potato crops. This was a huge problem, particularly since Ireland had a monoculture of potatoes, and no alternative varieties were being grown, let alone a variety that was fungus-resistance. Please try to list the source you had for your claim. I would love to read what quantifiable research some "scientists" used to disregard both the blight and the British oppression when it comes to the causes of the Great Hunger. I am not saying weather was not affected, but people round the world didn't experience the Great Hunger. Ireland did. It was not due to a volcano, and their INCREASED food exports were not possible if a volcano could have such a horrific impact on food the citizens needed to grow for themselves instead of exporting (or using as feed for animal meat exports).

  23. Russell was basically talking bullshit to impress himself, a sure sign of insecurity and need to please or impress himself or others. Pleasure is pleasure, and one pleasure that hurts nobody is no more special than other. Russell forgets that even mathematical "beauty" is perhaps universally attributable to the primitive pleasure humans feel in finding patterns. It's been so for humans for eons. So, we find beauty in satisfying our desires, even with math. This fundamental "weakness" to feel pleasure drives our perception of the beauty of everything. Even a non-repeating quasi-crystal pattern is perceived as "beautiful" only because there is an order of pattern to it. Take away the order and leave equally complex math and nobody will find it beautiful.

  24. It's sad. Yesterday brought news that the 24-year-old up-and-coming star quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers was killed walking across a highway, hit by a dump truck. It's so easy to get yourself killed on railways and highways, especially for impulsive kids. So, while I don't agree with your parents' choice, but I can understand it. Maybe somebody reading this will think of a similarly isolated person, but think of a safe and reliable way of getting to ensure that isolated person gets to meet other people.

  25. So? People sleep on planes that could fall out of the sky. People sleep on buses that could hit a bridge. Those are all more likely than you feeling a bother from a spontaneously exploding torpedo. However, if I were in a poorer Navy, I might worry about battery acid leaking from the torpedo.

  26. You don't need intelligence to be manipulative. In fact, you need to NOT have something - you need to NOT have a care about people. Trump does not care. That sends chills down my spine. I'm not sure Hillary cares anymore as much as she cares to be perceived as caring. Trump doesn't even care if you think he cares. He just desperately needs to have everyone tell him he's the Number One.

  28.  @RaceChapman  - And testing the resistance of the human body to electrical heating elements in shower heads. Yes, such things exist. I have been tickled taking a shower in my wife's house in Peru. Her mother got an electrician after that. However, she only did it for me. It's considered safe and I was told I had nothing to worry about. Yeah, coming from people much less than six feet tall, I understood their perspective. They had drops of water hitting them. My head touched the shower head. That created a continuous circuit to the metal drain. Much different! The odds might still be just 1 in 30,000 that I could get killed, but those are horrendously poor odds for common tasks.

  36. Runways are squeezed into any manner of tight areas, relatively speaking. The question to ask would be if the airport was properly designed for that space. A wall at the end is not a problem if there are occupied buildings beyond the wall. Muan airport, though, had empty space well beyond the concrete. Expect a lot of discussion now all that these people died.

  47. The National Incident Management System includes very generalized and flexible protocols that firefighters train with. The NIMS commander and others with relevant delegated authority (just about any rescuer with good judgment) would be authorized AND ENCOURAGED to make use of available resources, including volunteer pilots with their own helicopter. This seems to be a major failure involving horrible attitude taking priority of responsible, sound judgment. I hope it didn't lead to any preventable deaths, injury, suffering property loss or damage, or financial loss.

  61.  @metalinmyworld726  - Your question is fundamentally, "can the fanfin seadevil reproduce if the male and female don't fuse?" Well, since the females' eggs are fertilized after release into the water, the only way to prove the fish can mate without fusing would require discovering a live fertilization scene in action that did not involve fusion. However, this video was taken at the ONLY time that both a male and female were seen together alive engaged in a (known) mating-related behavior (1 observation in all of history). Therefore, you can be assured there is no hard proof they can mate without fusing. The standing assumption is that they must do this. In fact, if the male doesn't fuse within a few months of hatching from its egg, it dies. (I don't know how that is "known", but that is what the experts are saying.)

  62. No, there is a huge problem with people claiming they are involuntarily celibate. They are not celibate. They are lonely. They are lonely and need to come to grips with why that is. It starts and ends with them. However, we need not be cold about others. Some countries have government officials whose job is to focus on the public welfare and happiness. You might not care about the happiness of others, but if someone is unable to handle challenges in their own life, a little bit of help from without can at least help them to adapt to their situation and maybe even improve it. And if lonely and struggling people don't get help, sometimes they end up doing horrible things.

  67. That approach to thinking is the opposite of Occam's Razor. You're saying the most likely solution is the most complex one, in which another universe must exist with highly intelligent creatures that have the ability to simulate a universe. Why not just then look at a glass of milk and assume it's really an alien masquerading as a glass of milk? In both case, your hypothesis would not be inconsistent with the known facts, and thereby you have a genius "solution" explaining your observations.

  68.  @GTAVALE  - Well, the distinction there is that when the polar bear realizes his prey is human, he does not stop hunting it. It might be that no marine predators will attack a human if they could realize it was not it's preferred prey, but who cares? If the animal is known for attacking, it's known for attacking.

  69. As EVERYONE knows, some things can be either natural OR MAN-MADE. If I start a forest fire, that is NOT natural. If you had a reasonable amount of wisdom, you would know that you should not speak of things you don't sufficiently understand. Technically, ANY gas emitted by HUMAN ACTIVITY will result in increased temperatures of Earth's surface. However, this effect is only extremely negligible for the two major gases of the atmosphere (molecular nitrogen and molecular oxygen). On the other hand, this temperature effect is MORE SIGNIFICANT for CO2. THIS IS A PHYSICAL FACT THAT YOU SIMPLY CANNOT REFUTE. It is a basic fact of physics that ANY collection of molecules has the property of emitting and absorbing radiation! If you don't accept this fact, you don't accept nature. Of course, this means when mankind emits gases, mankind influences the amount of radiation that the surface of Earth will be receiving from the atmosphere. When the surface of Earth receives more radiation, which is energy, then it warms because that radiation energy is converted to heat energy. Again, this is very old information and iirrefutable. Since the middle of the *19th* century (yes, the century *before* the last one), scientific discovery led to understanding that all objects both absorb AND emit radiation. Even back then, it was understood that any surface absorbing radiation with a certain efficiency would also be emitting radiation at an equivalent proportional efficiency of its temperature. Later work in spectroscopy revealed that the Earth's atmospheric components generally have a reduced amount of absorptive and radiative efficiency in the region of 8-12 microns (the photon wavelengths). This is nicknamed the "infrared atmospheric window". The same kind of research showing the atmospheric window also showed that CO2 is relatively more efficient at absorbing AND EMITTING radiation in this window when compared to the average atmospheric components. This means if you add CO2 into the atmosphere, then the atmosphere WILL absorb more radiation than it did before, especially in the 8-12 micron "window". It also means that the CO2 will EMIT RADIATION more effectively than the overall atmosphere. Since adding CO2 increases the efficiency at which the atmosphere radiates, it means the surface is GUARANTEED to receive and absorb more energy as a result of that extra CO2. When the surface absorbs more energy, the temperature goes up. Thus, when humankind emits incredible amounts of CO2, humankind raises the surface temperature compared to what it would have been without the addition. These are unrefutable facts about radiative physics. They can be proven in the field, and even in a tabletop experiment. As humankind began burning fossil fuels and also destroying forests, humankind HAS been causing the atmosphere to RAPIDLY accumulate CO2 faster than seen in history AND to higher levels than ever seen in human history. Either one of these facts spells out problems for humankind. Together, they WILL bring out about changes that lead to deaths of many humans and additional suffering for many, many more.

  74. Not to forget the canals linking the Chesapeake to the Delaware and the Delaware to the Hudson, which of course led to the Erie Canal and the Great Lakes! Of course, one could also continue north from the Hudson entrance to the Erie canal, heading upstream the Hudson River to the Champlain canal, then heading across Lake Champlain and downstream to the St Lawrence Seaway. One could travel from Duluth to Norfolk VA via Albany NY, then head north to Montreal without ever facing an open sea. Those canals sure changed things. A lot of iron ore moved from the upper Midwest to smelters, foundries, and plants throughout the eastern US, helping the US economy to boom. I suspect you know that, but other readers might not know that. :-)

Nearly every person is aware of this fact. In today's culture, marketing to teens is generally unacceptable. Juul investors should have known that, too. It seems they figured the marketing would be able to continue AND it would help Juul continue to grow. Those are high assumptions that failed to uphold long-run performance of the company. There was no way they deserved that valuation unless their marketing to teens could continued to be accepted AND have dominant effect over competing brands and generics.

  107.  @Jbainbridge5  - Incorrect. "The citizens of the state own the property" is 100% wrong. The property is not jointly held by citizens. They have no legal claim to walk on the property if the state has acted within the state Constitution to prohibit their right to do so. The individual citizens have no rights to determine use of the property. They do NOT own the property. For you to correct someone this way is not only you being rude, you're wrong. The state government is an entity that has rights conferred by the people via its own Constitution. It is not "owned" by the people, rather it has clear legal rights as a unique party with agency of its own, outside of the citizens. It's like if I authorize someone to represent me with Power of Attorney. I don't own such a person, and they can do whatever they want until I remove the power of attorney.

But, from a more serious political perspective, how is Peru more important than Chile, or Columbia, or even Bolivia (for the lithium alone)? The US tries to juggle a world of countries to influence, and picking favorites requires proper justification. Not that such choices are properly done, but they should be. But why Peru above others? Maybe the US is interested in the amount of coastline. Or the mining interests (ironically, taken from Peru by Chile during their war long ago).

  144. Urine? Pshaw! Much worse can happen. I've seen kids swim in a cloud of "traveler's bowel distress" while snorkeling in Xel Ha lagoon. That is much worse than urine. Have you seen bits of bowel discharge float into someone's hair? Beyond the discomfort, awful urgency, and fear of being embarrassed, I had to laugh after it happened to me. Though, I still showered extremely thoroughly immediately afterwards. I used a LOT of my shampoo. I was swimming in Xel Ha lagoon when I had a sudden attack of traveler's diarrhea. It happened just after three FULL buses of tourists arrived and they all queued for the bathroom. My only option was to swim to a solitary spot in the lagoon, as the problem was resolving itself one way or another. I let it out about 4-5 feet underwater and immediately experienced total horror as I saw a cloud of bits of dissolving brown and lots of brown liquid envelope me. If my heart could have jumped out the top of my skull, it would have. I screamed through my snorkel but nobody heard me (especially since I was underwater). Immediately out of breath due to the scream, I still backstroked underwater and kicked away so fast, I would have beaten Phelps himself. As I flung myself away in panic, I saw the cloud entrail itself in my wake and follow me! It was like being chased by the Brown Ghost of Death as it tried to encircle my (at least formerly) beautiful, sun-kissed head of hair. Finally, the cloud stopped following me dispersed as I kept swimming. Of course, this probably took place in 3 seconds or less but time slowed down when it happened. Out of breath, I surfaced, looked around, and nobody was near me except some chubby kid approaching me. He swam right past me, eager to explore the lagoon. He suddenly surfaced excitedly and urgently called over his friend to see the amazing group of fish that was feeding on "little bits of food floating everywhere in the water." I just kept my mouth shut - until I reached my friend and had a really funny laugh. So, urine? Ha! Much worse can happen.

As the project was wrapping, Trump Co told him they would not pay him what they promised. Trump is KNOWN for this vile behavior, even by supporters. Fortunately, his crew was still on site, so he called his crew and told them to start removing their work. Funny how Trump Co changed their song. Sadly, few people can stand up to a rich bully. My mentor was lucky that Trump Co didn't act with more forethought, but they got away with so much they didn't bother to think. But really, does it matter? When Trump has billions yet doesn't care to donate to charity but instead SCAMS from it, can't you see who he is? When his ghostwriter for "The Art of the Deal" says Trump sucks and he regrets writing the book, that tells you who Trump is. Trump lied about his successes. He lied about his failures. That tells you who he is. He cheated on his wives. When Melania was home with her newborn, he cheated on her. Yeah, so moral. Get out of here, Trump is for Chumps.

So, it's not just equal to the world, the rest of the world is not even close. And that does not even count the Silent Service - submarines - that accompany and protect the carrier fleet. Of course, the future may bring radical change. Hypersonic missiles and better satellite imagery of carrier locations might eventually leave carriers highly vulnerable to anybody possessing the hypersonic missiles and supporting intel for guiding them to the right target.

  164.  @moonasha  - What you said right there is a problem. What is more serious than very serious? Treating something "very seriously" should NOT also mean "keep going". The protocol for how you "take" something should have an action to match, not a nothing like "monitor" or "be aware". If you can afford to do the latter, it's not very serious. If you have one or two anything that's very serious in a mission and keep going, then you're pretending to acknowledge it's very serious but actually you are NOT. You are living in denial. If the mission is so important that one must risk the lives of the souls on board, then the protocol should explicitly say that lives will be sacrificed to implement this protocol.

  165.  @SanGeet0510  - Your statement is so loaded with bias it's not worth pointing the several issues within it. I am also very angry about what happened, as are you. But getting angry at people doesn't get you to understand what really happened and why. Nobody on set thought someone was going to die. Not even if they bent the rules. That is one of the fundamental problems with getting people to be safe around potentially deadly things. Group think makes that even worse. Human nature leads people to worry more about not being seen as a worrier than being concerned about preventing a death that has nearly zero chance of happening. Across the board, human brains (including yours) are very poorly equipped to sustain a grasp of the risk-reward balance in situations involving extremely low odds of unacceptably bad things happening.

  174. This unacceptably reporting. They shouldn't even report on this at all, because it implies a controversial if not wrongful arrest, yet no explanation is given as to why the reporters would believe it was controversial or wrongful. Sounds like stirring the race bucket to me! Then there is the comment, "A staff member who was not involved in the arrest called police." This report is implicitly wrong! If it is not wrong, an exceptional comment should explain so! Why? Well, the comment clearly implies only one staff member called police. That may be true, but if only one called police, then one would assume the police were there because of that call. That means the staff member WAS "involved" in the arrest. If they set off the series of events leading to the arrest, they are involved. How are people paid to do reporting like this?

I have trouble understanding how a location that seems so mountainous is either on the Erie Canal or any other waterway giving access to the Great Lakes. Could it be the St Lawrence Seaway or River offers such views? To me, it looks like it even has sections above the tree-line altitude! Maybe that's because the tops are simply too rock for trees? However, the impression of that view stretches my ability to easily believe it is related to the Great Lakes or the canals or rivers that access them. So, where is it? Or has somebody just tried to gaslight me using a video that earned my trust? That would be a very poor thing to do for a video that is trying to educate.

Until I realize the sadness to it all. Sadly, putting up resistance to a deluded person is something they often take as validation, not a reason to question themselves. Their underlying mental disorder has them presuming that you would not openly oppose them unless your own lies were not threatened to be exposed. There are no facts in that presumption. There is nothing to refute. Their mental disorder can't be defeated. Those folks are beyond help. Good luck, though, reaching those in the "in-between" zone.

Of course, your odds should be at least >50% certainty because otherwise you would have not even believe your hypothesis is probably correct in any way.. Nature has not forced upon anyone the idea that we must be 95% certain that the control data and the test data represent different samples. By the way, that does not mean your hypothesis is 95% certain to be right. It ONLY means that a frequentist statistical analysis has shown that there is only a 5% chance that your control data and test data were randomly selected from the same parent population. These odds are degraded by any missed sample selection effects that are non-random. Further, the 5% chance or less that the data is randomly generated does NOT mean you would be 95% certain that the samples are different because your hypothesis is correct. It could be that ANOTHER hypothesis is correct, especially if that alternative hypothesis correlates to the test condition associated with your test hypothesis. All of this is why it is so important to try to use Bayesian analysis, not primitive frequentist statistics promoted as a binary proof of a hypothesis.

  218. @Jason2003 - The lack of moral values I am highlighting. And morality IS the key point of value underlying this story. If you are such a snowflake that you have a problem with, don't watch the video or read the comments. The point of the video is to highlight the decision to not have enough concern for other people. Rush didn't just make choices about his own personal risks, he lied to others who made deadly decisions for themselves, including a young man with so much of life otherwise ahead of him. When immoral people get others killed, I will speak up in a forum discussing those people. And this forum is doing that. Rush didn't use a proper design methodology for ensuring reasonable safety. The same lack of ethics (and an underlying empathic morality) that he exhibited provides a *broader lesson* for all. If you ignore the lack of morality in leaders, or lack of sufficiently ethical rules (or their enforcement), their will be tragic consequences. I realize snowflakes like you want to run and hide from these everpresent and broad truths, but you won't be allowed to hide. I simply added a second example to reinforce the message. This forum was already addressing the issue because the point of the video was a shockingly immoral decision. Rush didn't make an unrealized error. He knew what he was doing. In his value system, it didn't matter. He deceived and innocents died. This is happening again, now at a national scale, and the same lessons apply. If you are too butt-hurt by that because it undermines whatever obliviousness you choose to hide with, that is your problem. Don't go watching videos directly related to morality (or reading the comments) if you don't want to be reminded of the broader lessons and politics connected to the topic.

  222. The seniority system is one thing that encourages reelection. If constituents don't want to lose their place at the table, they have to re-elect the same guy REGARDLESS OF PARTY! If "your guy" is a committee chairman, do you realize how much power your particular voting jurisdiction (Representative district or Senatorial state) has relative to the rest of the country? If your jurisdiction sends a new representative, your jurisdiction loses that special committee power! So, special interests and voters develop a keen interest in reelecting the same guy. Other special interests that don't benefit from a particular committee are not corresponding motivated to elect someone new for eventually heading another committee, because (a) they can just buy the guy who IS heading that committee, and (b) it would take *decades* for a new guy to even have a shot at being committee chairman. So, until we change the seniority system, EVERY voter has an interest in reelecting their representative!

Israel is now a country run by only subset of Jews for only a subset of Jews AND NOBODY ELSE. Abuse and ruination of others is OK in the eyes of the Zionists who have taken over Israel. It's ironic, too, that the warmonging Orthodox claim the right and take the privilege of avoiding military service when they are the ones forcibly drafting Israeli citizens and sending them off to fight Palestinians. The Orthodox rabbis should be drafted and forced to lead the fighting and the Orthodox believers should be drafted and forced to follow the Orthodox rabbis into the fighting. Let THEM bleed and die instead. They create the suffering, so let them feel it to the core.

  239. @ - I am so very sorry to hear about your husband's death. There are more important things here than my idle comments and interests. From here on out, anything I say is only because I owe it to you to explain anything that may have caused you distress. You asked about my flight experience. I flew just the Cessna T-41 and T-37, both very safe aircraft. About my reference to landing immediately after warnings, I was referring in particular to warnings that presage a potential loss of propulsion in any aircraft that is vulnerable to losing just one engine. That includes chip burn warnings on the V-22. Although the V-22 has two proprotors that are connected, allowing single-engine propulsion in normal conditions, the proprotors require the drive mechanism to function. If the gears fail, the drive fails and the proprotors lose coordination and possibly all control. So, I was commenting on the hazards associated with this warning to highlight the pilot's burden. The warning is for a potentially very dangerous situation and the protocol seems not so urgent about it. Hopefully, my comments were taken as being addressed at the protocol, not at compliance with the protocol. Your husband got to be a V-22 pilot by being a damned good pilot. The protocol he followed was pretty clear that his status should NOT be considered an urgent emergency. He trusted and followed that protocol. In the future, I hope no more pilots face his situation. Boeing and the DoD know that a gear broke due to microscopic inclusions. I hope they fix the risks this can happen again. Finally, some years ago, I lost a cousin to a fiery tragedy that made the national news footage (and the comments). With that in mind, I do try to remember that the internet is a small place, and anyone's comments can reach those close to the heart of a tragedy. I hope I didn't cause you distress. I wish nothing more for you than as much peace as possible for you and your family.

  251. In my country, many people brag of how they live to work. They share "war stories" of how many hours they worked, but they claim they are living. Their lack of self-awareness is staggering. Funny, most of them wouldn't do their job for one minute if they were not paid, so clearly it is not that they love their job. What they love is they feel important performing the obeisance of working long hours. Anyone who doesn't feel that way is denigrated by most of these losers. But, they often make more money for their long hours and the ones with money control the messages in the media. So, even though their families are dysfunctional and unhappy within, even though these tragic fools are missing out on the best years of their lives, they swear up and down they are living life on the right path. They simply don't know when enough is enough.

  257.  @abrahamdozer6273  - Well, if their goal was to have total victory over a clearly-defined nation, they might have "won" a lot more. The US military is only as dedicated to destroying an enemy nation as the body politic that calls it into battle. All war has fog, which makes people look inept. But when you don't have an overarching goal of utter destruction of a people within a geographic boundary, the means and metrics all get murky and make performance hard to fairly judge. The US performed "miserably" in Afghanistan. The US also performed wonderfully. Who decides what success is compared to or how it is otherwise measured? I think the US military is to other military forces as democracy is to other forms of government. Ultimately, you have highly imperfect humanity trying to employ a highly imperfect system to achieve a goal that can't possibly be totally satisfactory. In the end, a measured analysis becomes one not of judging (let alone scoring) but only of understanding. Everything is fated to happen from causality, so understanding WHY militaries perform certain ways is really a wiser way to evaluate them rather than judging them.

Those claims are used for a logical fallacy of Appeal to Authority (appeal to a so-called genius).

  269.  @pizzagui2pizza437  - You can have a riot and sedition and still be "peaceful" by the news standards. The news these days seems to define peaceful as none of the protesters grossly and willfully injuring someone or worse. So, yes, it seems this met that standard. Despite that, property was destroyed and one of the most important government functions imaginable was disrupted. The crowd was calling for hanging people and killing them. They were calling for overthrowing the government. That is insurrection. So, there were still very serious crimes committed. Now, if you want to compare this to rioters who attend BLM marches (particularly the "Antifa" jerks), you would be right to see how some of those folks would probably be willing to do worse in the same situation. However, those folks were NOT interrupting the certification of votes for the President of the United States of America. We have REPEATEDLY seen Trump protesters try to disrupt governance itself. That approach led to the fall of the Roman Republic. After that, for nearly 2000 millennia, the world did not see a major republic again. Humanity should not backslide like that again. Certainly not the USA. These rioters and protesters committed sedition, insurrection and many other crimes like trespass, assault, and terroristic threats.

  313. I don't take strategic advice from a man who doesn't understand seasonal ice cream sales trends. In much of the Northern Hemisphere, ice cream sales increase in the winter. Churchill was not a great strategist. He was willing to be bold, for sure, but others bore the cost. He is the guy who sold the plan for attacking at Gallipoli, and continuing the attack when it stalled. It lead to a slaughter so awful that it traumatized many on both sides. It was called Churchill's Folly. What made Churchill great was his willingness not to settle for a compromise during conflict. It was also his flaw, as Gallipolli proved. Fortunately, Gallipolli was before WII, which was far more important to history, Thanks to Churchill, bold ideas (the battle tank, etc.), special intelligence operations and special warfare operations were supported and even promoted prior to and during WWII. Those things helped win the war.

  325. I find it troubling when people talk of "Greece" being the owner of these pieces. The "Greece" they refer to is a nation with a government. However, when the Parthenon was built, "Greece" did not exist. For much of Greek history, it did not exist! "Greece" refers to a collection of independent city-states whose people spoke the same or similar language. The city-states did not even have the same forms of government. Some of the city-states were in present-day ITALY. Since part of "Greece" was part of "Italy", and all of those people have been dead for tens of centuries, how do you decide who owns what? I would like to hear more about that in these discussions. Does not the Greek diaspora within Italy and even the Holy Roman Catholic Church also own the Parthenon as much as the current Greek nation citizens, especially those who are not descended from ancient Greeks? Do people understand that other empires have ruled Greece? So who owns a long-standing temple with no continuous ownership? I think the question is far more complex than people admit. It's the same kind of complexity that arises when people discuss fairness and reparations. What was once believed to be obvious is nothing clear at all once you honestly look at the details.

  331. I follow the general rule of thumb that if you can think about it, others before you have as well. Such thinking won't lead to me feeling hopeful of inventing something, but certainly got me looking up existing patents any time I thought my idea was a winner. I did have an idea for an unpatented idea at one point, but I realized it would be difficult to enforce and not that profitable for companies to implement. So, that was it. I can't even remember what it was, but it doesn't matter. It's very hard to invent something something valuable AND unpatented AND original (not found in "prior art") and then profit it off of it. If it's a big money idea, people will spend big money ripping you off and defending themselves from your protective lawsuits. That's if you can even afford to sue them.

Until you can construct a steady-state energy flow diagram describing how Earth's temperature is steady but we keep increasing CO2, don't kid yourself into thinking ACGW does not exist. CO2 is a molecule that absorbs and emits infrared radiation in the 8-12 micron band much more efficiently than the molecular oxygen and nitrogen that make up most of our atmosphere. That's a fundamental physical fact your fear and politics can't change. That fact is what leads to increasing surface temperatures. You can't get around it. The only question is how much temperature change and how quickly.

Making deals like this entails risk for the smaller country, brings benefits, and the deal may create problems or benefits for other countries as well. Is that hard to understand? Change brings risks. With this port now giving China the chance to project their Navy, that is a concern for people who have the responsibility of understanding that risk (including citizens of all affected countries).

  350. What makes fiber-resin composite attractive for developing new designs in compression-resistant structures? I mean, fibers are noodles. They resist tension. Thus, a pressurized aircraft might be a good place for using fiber materials. But a cylinder being compressed by unimaginable forces? Why? It seems like the resin is the hero here, and the fiber temporarily bonds to the resin like tensile rebar. Eventually, the flexing will loosen the fiber-resin bonds and neither the resin nor the fiber is inherently a good base for a robust, compression-resistant cylinder.

  355.  @TheRealThomasPaine1776  - Sometimes, a 10% increase in the supply of a commodity can collapse the market price. Consumers go to the cheapest seller, so the sellers have a price reduction race to the bottom. Flip it around, and consumers have no choice but to pay top dollar since they can't shop around. So, yeah, 10% reduction in use of a product can destroy profits in a market. Not market volume but profit for the producers. Of course, the same profit collapse for the producers is a massive savings (profit) for the consumers, people who typically need the money a lot more than the barons collecting most of the profit from a common market.

  361.  @neilmurphy845  - Small is not some technical term with ISO specifications. It is relative. If you want to even call the smallest 5% of the cars in the US "small", you would still need to include the compact sedans. US drivers live in more open areas where bigger cars are not posing a problem with parking or city traffic. Further, roads in US cities are typically quite wide. We rarely have the narrow streets you can find in some of the older cities of Europe or South America (as for for other places, I don't know). US residents also pay a lot less for gasoline tax. Given those realities, they rarely buy the micro cars you see in Europe. So, that leads back to the fundamental reason I cited. There are too few or your version of "small cars" to form a worthwhile high-level category of "small".

Does the real-life industry inadvertently facilitate this behavior by expecting pilots to continue schedule flights with non-functioning parts that ARE part of normal flying operations, but the parts are not mission critical?

If it leads to this behavior, maybe flying with malfunctioning parts, especially parts whose failures have unknown cause, leads to dismissive attitudes.

  386. Many murders are NOT solved, and a cop might have further belief they are unlikely to be convicted. Given that many murderers have talked to the police and walked away clean, there is a great temptation to seek that "clean" break. If the murderer gets a lawyer, that leaves the nagging thought that they might become the prime suspect.. For a cop, this is especially true, and if not they still might become a suspect of some breach of law or standards. The reality is, Fulton County murderers get away about 40% of the time. A cop might think his odds are even better than that. More so, it is common for people to engage in avoidance of discomfort (asking for a lawyer, looking guilty) by impulsively assuming that good odds are sufficient to commit to a decision with heavy consequences.

He'll probably go a few more years. What is killing him mostly is his inability to be active. It is depressing him. He has bad joints and back that prevent all but the shortest of walks.He is definitely an exception to the rule of how long you can keep up a brutal amount of drinking. However, my point is that if you quit, it does not mean you die soon. Rather, the opposite is likely. You will live longer and maybe a lot longer.

  397.  @vinayravi9343  - Hog wash. That's like saying transporting heavy machinery by hand works if done on right scale. The whole reason this does NOT work is because of the negligible efficiency which only takes effect after deployment at massive scale. If one scales ANY inefficient process it eventually succeeds in the primary goal, if all things remain equal. But they don't remain equal. Do you have any idea how much energy and water is wasted by this technique? Mind you, the officials could use electrostatic precipitators or mechanical filters - which work much more efficiently - or they simply STOP THE BURNING OF FIELDS. Water droplets are not efficient. The water technique has a low rate of collisions between pollutants and droplets. Heck, if they would at least statically charge the droplets it would even work better.

  402. Whose ethics and morals? If a mother is about to die from her pregnant condition as she enters childbirth and the baby is known to have problems that make it impossible to survive, then she should be able to abort the baby and go on to raise a family in the future. Killing a woman to ""save"" a stillbirth is just plain cruelty in the form performative righteousness. Yet, the question as posed ignores the problem of real cases like this. A woman aborting a fetus moments before childbirth is a ridiculous think to bring up. Does it even happen once a year on this planet? Yet, medical emergencies do occur during pregnancy and childbirth - women die every year all around the globe EVERY DAY from them, including post-childbirth events like stroke DUE to the childbirth. So, ignoring all that in the conversation leads to ridiculous and useless discussions like asking about abortion right before childbirth. Some here claim that was just a question to establish a basic position, but the question ignores the reality of the situations that can lead to trying to save the woman.

I must say, for as much as I loathe the Iranian theocracy, I think their leaders have been more restrained than I expected from people who are murderously zealous about their religion (all of their hypocrisy aside, of course). I think, like China, the Iranians are chillingly disciplined at "playing the long game".

  412. Can you imagine going bankrupt, yet the banks let you have a yearly "allowance" over five MILLION dollars PLUS you keep 50% of the assets including any profit they might generate?! And this is when you can't pay people back and they can take everything. With this in mind, people might see how Trump projects onto other people the expectation that they are scammers and thieves. It is Trump who is the scammer and scum. Meanwhile, he accuses others of being so. It works for him, I suppose, but who could ever respect for such a person, or support them? Or vote for them?

  413. All he says is that a point that is fixed to the outside of a circle traces that path. Try using two soup cans of equal size. Place them vertically, touching one another. Tape a pencil to the side of one soup can and push down on the pencil. Roll one soup can around the other. The pencil will trace a cardioid shape (imperfect, of course, since it is a pencil, not a dimensionless point).

  414. It's time for this old geezers like McConnell, Biden, and Trump to step aside for some young 70-year-old blood to take over. The US gov't has become like the old Soviet Politburo. We have a government in which old, decrepit politicians greedily wait for the day when the even-older generation finally dies or retires. They may have political skills, but they are so corrupted with the normality of doing things for the elites (themselves!) that they won't do what is right for the country.

  422. Well, now Americans are getting UNLIMITED sick and vacation time. Of course, you need to prove you were sick if you are claiming many days, and that makes it harder for the sick person. I had one bad year when my company was challenging me on my sick time. I had worked so much overtime, it was insulting that they were still demanding proof. However, my "provable" illness was during the initial "you don't have to prove it" days. Then, I was getting randomly ill one or two days with things like bad flu, bad colds, stomach viruses where trips to the doctor were highly challenging and appointments impossible to secure. It was harassment. The companies know this is the cost of their policies, but THEY DON'T CARE. They are able to block people from freeloading (a problem that grows the longer unlimited sick time is available.) They also slow walk time-off approval. Finally, they almost never approve a month off like Europeans get. I once tried traveling to the other side of the world over ten days. When you do that, a few delays in both directions ruin the trip! I hate the greed culture in the US. And it is a GREED culture, not a life culture. Everything centers around money. It is why we this country of hypocritical pro-lifers will tolerate a high death rate of mother's giving birth. Money trumps life here in the US. We "can't afford more" they say, while they give tax breaks to literally the few richest people on the planet.

Cheney was SO intent on generating a narrative, when the FBI and CIA were not lying for him, he grabbed some folks from the Pentagon and began running a propaganda "intel" office from within the White House. This is all known from public records! Eventually, as a result of being sidelined by this, some in the CIA began to "play ball" and put out "intel" with the spin and even lies that Cheney wanted. As for other countries, some people in those other countries had mutual interests in helping the US start war, so they went along.

Basically, if you categorize and analyze all families in two groups, those with father and mother and those with two same-gender parents, the intragroup variation of child outcomes varies much more than between-group outcomes. It comes down to the people, not the gender identities so much.

No, you get to be told your ability to navigate the world in other languages is not good enough. How friendly! And try heading out to the rodeo in Alberta while wearing a niqab.

You believed the continual lies that Benghazi investigations would prove Dems were bad. You believed Bill Barr saying he find evidence of Dems and Russia collusion. You believed every lie the GOP and Trump told you - more lies than a human can remember without using tracking software! You believed the Mueller investigation was a hoax yet they uncovered multiple criminal acts leading to convictions. Even the GOP made CRIMINAL REFERRALS of Don Jr, Kushner, Bannon and two others to the FBI. But you keep believing the Trump and GOP lies that the Dems are obviously corrupt. Here's a clue for you.

How many times did the GOP promise you that nobody would be convicted of crimes due to Mueller's investigations? Add up all those times and NONE of those promises were delivered. The GOP sent thousands of GIs to their deaths, tens of thousands to injury and even disability. They lied to you about all these other things. Yet you think this time is different. You're a loser.

  461. Actually, it's not being smarter than people that does that. It's feeling like you don't share a connection with others. Sure, that feeling might be associated with behaviors and perceptions linked to one's intelligence, but that is not the same as the intelligence itself being the driver of the "horrible" situation you describe. I wish I had understood that most of my life. I made my own unhappiness to a large extent. In the end, I suspect that if I had a therapist as a kid, I would have understood myself and the world in a much different way and been happier then and today. I can't blame my intelligence (only bordering on genius). My happiness was influenced by other circumstances, including my own unfortunate perceptions as a child of how I fit into the world and how I was (or was not) working to make my own happiness.

  462. Affordable? Nothing is free and things are cheaper when they are either worth less or the costs are subsidized. In the US, housing costs are passed along to society, meaning those with less wealth pay disproportionately more to support the system!

Indonesia and Malaysia are the main powers affecting the straits, not a nation controlling islands far from the entrance. Also, cntrol means you can keep the straits *open*, free of interference from aggressive state navies and pirates. This requires international cooperation. Occupying islands won't give you that. I would agree, thought, that occupying such islands at least means another country does not. However, with China extending its presence in foreign ports, building artificial islands and building out its navy, including having aircraft carrier operations, island occupation still does not eliminate Chinese occupation.

That is already a choice that is arguably immoral, regardless of your personal values or the particular victim's. (And note, I doubt a mother who understands the value of a life would think it funny to have her own death the source of a joke, particularly with her surviving mother and child deserving to never hear of such a thing.) If the channel is to retain a degree of respect for the victims, it should most definitely NOT title its videos with humorous names. Out of context, the joke can be cleverly funny. In reality, taking up the idea of a joke in a video title is inappropriate.

What about developers buying houses to renovate/expand them? Developers are typically legally classified as LLCs. They are designed to take money in and put even more money out. Does that mean they can't be owned by institutional investors? If they can, then the law you propose already has a loophole. Investors would just form an LLC and buy the home.

  491.  @BrianCinSpruceGrove  - They did ask them directly. Further, any real scientist who understands spectroscopy would know ACGW is real even without a complex model. It's a matter of any system at constant temperature will have energy in = energy out. The Sun heats Earth, Earth radiates the same amount of heat to space via IR. When Earth emits less IR, the system heats up. Guess what? Every CO2 molecule added to the atmosphere immediately reduces the outgoing IR and increases the amount of IR absorbed by Earth's surface. The result is an increase in surface temperature. Add enough CO2 and the increase becomes noticable. Add more and and the temperature increase affects sea level and crop production. Those things affect humans. Period. You don't need a climate model for that, or some dumb-ass conspiracy theory about how middle-income scientists are taking over the government while the powerless CEOs of Koch Industries and Exxon are forced to standby and pay more taxes. Those poor helpless people. If only they had countless payoffs to create a disinformation campaign and payoff the GOP just like the scientists have, but those CEOs are poor and the scientists have so much money. If only it were not so. Those poor Koch Brothers, trying to spread truth and watching their noble assets grow less quickly while they try to save humanity with the truth, all while Fox tries to help the Kochs but keeps failing to get liberals to understand the megarich people are not lying, they are honest and would NEVER lie to make more money.

  550. Before helicopter moms and everybody getting what they want for Christmas, and before kids wore helmets, ice skate boots were made of leather. For people who didn't have a lot of skating experience and strong ankles, the skates would quickly bend out, offering no useful support. Worse, if you needed to wear thicker socks than you usually did (or if your skates were just too small), you couldn't tie them as well so they offered even LESS support. If you played hockey all day, you had ankles turned out all day. But you still played. If you then were given hockey skates of today and told you couldn't tie them, you would STILL prefer them over the bent-ankle leather skates of back then. Now, if kids could skate back then in those conditions, they can skate in hockey skates of today that are not tied, ESPECIALLY a strong, experienced skater.

So, when we say "sentient", first make sure you assign that word a useful meaning that we all commonly share before you decide that all animals are sentient. Sentience was purposefully created as a word to distinguish intelligent creatures from others, creatures that can recognize and distinguish their own identity at a high level. If you think you can cleverly win an argument or change public attitudes by destroying the useful meaning of a word, think again.

The collective of psychiatric professionals does not even have a universal belief in psychopathy. Despite that, or even because of it, I doubt you can find any psychiatrist who believes psychopaths form after the age at which they qualify to become police officers. They might manifest with murder after they become cops, but it is very doubtful anyone becomes a psychopath that late in life. And that goes to the point of the original comment. People who become cops are either psychopaths first or never at all. Hence, cops cannot " become" psychopaths, but psychopaths CAN become cops. Try applying at least a bit of logical thinking and you will understand the original comment. Otherwise, you can be as egotistical as the cop and feel sure you are the smartest person in the room, but you'll only be fooling yourself.

You presume free will is not causal. If free will is not causal, it is random and thus not will. If it is causal, it is not free. Which one do you pick? Free will is an illusion because it is really a random outcome or free will is an illusion because it is really an outcome of the causal evolution of the mind's inner state?

  608. Also, when you use a system of tech long enough, you focus on the purpose, not the inner workings. When people look at radar, they know from experience they will get the job done faster and right if they just treat the image as a great description of reality. Few people really appreciate how much fuzziness is built into a "clear" radar image. Some of that fuzziness is just mathematical and SHOULD be discarded to obtain a faithful reproduction of reality, but not always. The radar beam is a mess, really. The reception is a mess. Collecting a "slice" of a signal in time, angle and distance is a mess. Combining the slices in an image is a total mess. Yet people look at a UFO signal on radar and say, "Look! It is clearly and distinctly a real extraterrestrial object exceeding the laws of physics!". Of course, the reasonable thing is to assume the interpreted phenomenon is anything but an alien.

  613. This video is about as pathetic of a piece of propaganda as the videos you get from North Korea. HT must be getting a nice check from Putin for this, directly or indirectly. If Putin had a strong military, strikes like this would NOT be happening now because the Ukrainian equipment would have already been substantially destroyed and remaining mobile radars would have gone dark to survive. But Putin and his cronies eroded his military through gross corruption. Soldiers are literally being given toy paint gun "body armor" instead of the real armor, and they must buy their own functioning weapons and ammo. Wow! What you see here in this video is that one radar strike is big news for Putin. It really is not "big" news for Putin and his desperate faithful, but it is the best news they can share, because that is the best they can do! They have to buy weapons from a small country on the verge of revolution itself, and all they can do is kill innocent civilians and on rare occasion hit a radar unit. Pathetic. If the Russian military leadership had any morals to their character, they would acknowledge they've lost instead of continuing to kill innocent civilians and destroying civilian infrastructure. And if HT thinks that is legitimate warfare, then I look forward to them acknowledging the legitimacy of Muslim attacks on Indian civilizations. What is good for the goose is good for the gander!

  623.  Science Revolution  - Unless you can read minds, you should be wise enough to know you can't say why other people do things. Also, force is a human abstract concept. We decide what is a force and what is not. It's that simple. If we say gravity is not a force, it is not. For now, it is not clear to ME that Einstein proved gravity is not a force. However, I have never played with tensors, let alone relativity. I simply make my statement because everything I have heard suggests to me the models don't TREAT gravity as a force, but that doesn't mean we could not define it as one and model it similarly to others. Maybe we'll have an answer some day, but for now calling people liars is way out of line.

  627.  @streaky81  - Yes, and they probably shot it down BECAUSE THE AIRCRAFT WAS IN THE WRONG LOCATION DUE TO GPS SPOOFING. If you look at the reported flight path (which was all over the place!), you can see this would have put the lives of the passengers in grave danger, especially as Russia was experiencing a drone attack around the same time in that same region. Russia has been corrupting the GPS for a long time around their borders. If the aircrews do NOT "easily" handle the situation (easy is not easy for those who can't do it easily), it can lead to the plane violating the wrong airspace and getting shot down. That seems to have happened here. Given that context, does my comment make sense to you now?

  629.  @lawrencejob  - Once again, how one chooses to fly the aircraft is subordinated to how one satisfies a system of rules. How this happened is all comprehensible, but the end results seem ridiculous. One can't simply fly into an airport despite having the ability to do so. This inversion of priorities is what has lead to an industry that beats into pilots heads that they must "fly the computer" rather than fly the plane. Airlines train pilots - and require them - to use any number of autopilot settings while flying. Because they are supposed to use these settings of flight control modes, they don't even call flying the plane what it is. They call it using "direct law". The task of flying has gotten so far from fulfilling its main purpose that we now have flights cancelled due to GPS issues when the pilots are perfectly capable of flying the aircraft and landing it. <smh>

  631. This is not the biggest problem with maps. The problem is human nature - people see AREA on a map as the measure of interest or weight of whatever is within shape of interest. I don't think kids should learn geography from maps until they are well-schooled in understanding other kinds of maps. That way they learn early to process maps from an information standpoint, not a standpoint of referring constantly to surface area of places. Schools could teach geography as a subset of map-reading and analysis. Schools must reinforce that geographical map areas represent surface area and ONLY surface area. It is human nature to think other things that tend to correlate with area are exactly proportional to area. Read that again. People wrongly interpret maps by assuming that things that correlate with area actually vary linearly with area. For example, even though people know that the central states of the United States are lightly populated, people living in those states tend to overestimate their importance due to their physical size. This process of interpreting by area is self-deceptive. Applying the idea of understanding what the area represents requires constant reinforcement. Likewise, single-color thematic maps need to be taught and retaught. On most maps of the world, categorical schematic maps using colors often refer to relative measures, not absolutes, yet they will be interpreted as absolutes. For example, a state that has a slight majority of one political group will be assigned a single color to represent the whole state, even if the color only represents 51% of the actual people in the state. Putting together these two problems, for example, you would not believe the high proportion of people who could look at a two-colored politically-themed map of US states and intuitively feel that the color with the most area represents the dominant political theme. In fact, the area usually does not even relate to the number people! A red Wyoming has very few people in the red party, while a blue Massachusetts has a lot more people from the blue party, but it looks like less on the map. The common folk feel (don't even think) that assigning a color to particular areas mean that the vast majority of people living there are pretty much like-minded. This leads to abuse by the majority, thinking they are everybody. In business, I also see this over and over. I dislike when people ask me to create an area-filled map to show marketing information. Marketing executives love maps based on geographical area, but those are worse than useless - they are deceiving due to human nature! One needs to use maps where area is proportional to something useful, not land area, otherwise normal human bias ruins the interpretation for most people. For example, Europe is pretty small on a spatially accurate map when compared to Asia but if you made that map so area was proportional to purchasing power, the map would radically change! I think getting that straight BEFORE geographical map reading IS possible AND preferable. After that is learned (and the knowledge maintained regularly), then teach geography using spatially-accurate representation. Of course, that is where this video comes into play. I think the future of this topic is going to involve three-dimensional images, or two-dimensional images that look 3-D. Then you can avoid the problem of getting the beach ball map to lie flat.

  637. I don't think the "explanation" clearly explained how it works. It seems one is left to figure some things out on one's own. One is left one feeling like they just heard an explanation, but I don't think it actually explained anything. After all, if the atoms can lose momentum during (blue-shifted) absorption, can they not gain momentum during emission in the opposite direction of the velocity? If momentum is constantly transferred to the cloud by the lasers, how does the cloud get to zero? One has to do one's own thinking to get the solution. That means the concept is not explained. Much more importantly, this says NOTHING about how the (earth-centric? no mention of reference frame?!) acceleration of the atomic cloud is measured.
    1
  638.  @ridley68  - The explanation was deficient. God forbid some of the commenters might honestly evaluate this video, but it was deficient. It was sufficient only IF the viewer added their own thinking to the "explanation". What this frequency/Doppler issues seems to imply is that the atoms have a much greater absorption probability if they are moving towards the laser's photon rather than not. Since moving towards the photon being absorbed is associated with loss of momentum in that direction, than the (vast?) majority of atoms absorbing the photons are going to be losing momentum during absorption. Later, they can gain momentum during relaxation/emission. I assume the narrator wants us to assume that (re-)emission direction is not correlated with the momentum, so the re-emission has not net effect on the momentum on the bulk of the atoms.

  646.  @tonychapman5753  - Snowden HAD to run to Russian. Do you think an ally was going to protect him from the US. Also, AFAIK, Snowden did NOT release everything. Assange has done that, but when I was last up-to-date on the topic, Snowden only shared with a few journalists what they had and they only released stuff relevant to the government overreach. Still, there may have things he should have best kept under wraps, however AFAIK overall he did little damage because what he revealed was well-known to foreign powers. Manning, on the other hand, was an out-and-out a**hole, doing everything possible to recklessly give away highly sensitive information regardless of the consequences. How people like that are allowed to live still puzzles me. Assange published it all, which - btw - empowered a LOT of bad people to genuinely AND DIRECTLY steal money from people and also ransom their data back to them (after hacking and encrypting computers).

  647.  @Ošæs  - Snowden has been remarkably honest about Russian, all considering his host country is run by a dictator who would not mind hearing nice things. Snowden is not agitating against Putin's government, but he has been clear he does not approve of them. He has also been clear that his situation precludes him from saying more. It's not like he has the power he used to have when working in the US. There is NOTHING Snowden can do to expose Putin's bad behavior. Nothing, in fact, he can do to uncover new things about US behavior. All Snowden can do now is talk about is publicly available knowledge.

  656. @Brandon P - Trump VERY clearly violated Congressional spending laws SPECIFICALLY designed to ensure their Constitutional prerogatives were not subverted by the President. Then his apologists made excuses that his subversion had no effect and was also completely reversed, both claims being wrong AND irrelevant to the fact Trump VERY CLEARLY violated Federal law and was not held accountable. In fact, he can thank the House Dems for that because they were more interested in a public opinion fight about Trump than trying him on a VERY CLEAR Constitutional violation of genuinely big significance. (When a President is REPEATEDLY warned he is violating the law and he does so anyway, going against the intent of the people's body of representation, and even specifically going against a law designed to prevent him from doing explicitly that, then the President is a clear and present danger to the Constitutional separation of powers.)

Those are things people use to decide if something is a human, not just DNA.

  661.  @CrowBarActual  - They are charged because people are confused and passed such laws when they should not have. If the fetus lacks a brain comparable to a functional human, it is not a person and murder should not apply in such cases.

Also, I think this video induces a subconscious expectation that this product and fan turbines should be compared, when they are complementary. This device has very short fan blades. It probably cannot extract energy from high wind loads as efficiently as a fan generator. So, maybe that makes it OK for use in less windy locations while fan generators are better-suited for areas with frequently strong winds.

What about filth, corrosion and future wear on various parts you have not repaired, including cushions (mold), joints (immersed in water, leading to unknown amount of mud intrusion), motors (including just the hidden windings) for A/C, water alternator, wiper and washer motors, fuel pumps, headlight flip motors, etc. You've also got a water pump, oil pump, camshaft, etc. You've also got possible leaks into the coolant as well as the lubricants. The belts and pulleys could be affected. There is no way to check let alone fix all of these. If the title is used for sale to a new owner, they inherit all of those problems without any way to see them. Flooded cars have a history of mystery problems. Whatever you fix or replace, there is always something more. Does the state have any provisions for titling that restricts ownership to the one person getting the re-titling?

So, when I go to accelerate, I have to wait for the interminably slow-to-change transmission to adapt. This is a transmission for those who truly want things to change slowly. Some day I will be killed by an oncoming vehicle because this CVT just couldn't get into a ratio that would give me sufficient power.

For example, the FAA could show the value of human lives it saved every time a flight landed instead of crashing. Is that helpful, viewing their role as "production"? No. Get a clue. Your range of life of experience is pathetically narrow compared to the breadth of what happens in the federal government.

Should I blame the vaccine? He died decades ago. So, should I blame TV? The toilet paper he used? I could correlate his death with anything. That doesn't make it the cause.

So how is that damage created? I've never really known. Once again, I am surprised by lacking a certain knowledge I assumed I possess. While I feel embarrassed at hubris leading to simply assume I understood, I am excited at the prospect of learning about another area of knowledge regarding the magical universe around us.

  708. ​ @seanriopel3132  - Please don't compare speeding to tailgating. Tailgating is an aggressive behavior that does nothing but create stress for everyone involved. Speeding, however, can obviously save you critical time. If you're going to miss a critical time and speeding gets you there on time instead, it can matter. For example, getting to a flight, train, ferry, or show on time. Of course, it's hard to save much time by speeding, and leaving earlier is always the smarter, safer, cheaper, and MUCH less stressful solution - for the other drivers you affect as well as yourself.

If you want a comparison, try using binoculars to watch sparrows flitting around in a bush just ten feet away. You can't keep them in the sights. Hitting something kilometers away is easy because it stays in the scope. When a target passes right through your scope before you can coordinate fire, it's not so easy.

  733. No, it is because people like YOU think you can decide what people feel and think rather than having honest dialogue to find out. But then, you can't expect honest dialogue from human beings. Humans will block out some truths and create others due to fear. Religion proves that every day. EVERY religion is known to be wrong by the vast majority of the world, but each person thinks their own is right. Think about that. Clearly, humans can't handle the truth. So, start with that reality and try to figure out how much truth you can get them to face. When you do that, you realize you need to use sources of information that BOTH sides can agree on as reliable. I find that human empathy motivates most morality as well as the focus of where they prefer to apply reason. Regardless, don't ever dare to decide for others their reality. As history and the current moment will always prove, doing that won't help you, won't give you the truth, and only offends the others from who you would take their agency to organically feel without your approval or input.

Loss of food and water faster than nations and societies can safely adapt without experiencing massively painful disruption, probably leading to wars in some places and significant quality of life loss in other areas. 3. Spread of warm-climate diseases, including Malaria, Dengue Fever, Ebola, Yellow Fever, etc. Worse, potential cures will be lost faster than new potential will be created by the slow pace of evolution.

So, if they have 300,000 votes left to vote and Candidate X is mathematically impossible to defeat at that point, they will call Candidate X the winner. That's how it is done. Some places won't even bother counting the remaining votes, which I find unforgivable. Failure to count means the information about the public's degree of desire for candidates (or ballot question decisions) is not wholly accurate, even if the winner is accurately known.

The country is not much to visit for the typical tourist, so I don't recommend it. However, if you go there and are anywhere near the zoo, visit it. Even if you only stop in to quickly visit the Harpy Eagle enclosure, do it. Their grip looks terrifying.

Practically nobody running a large company in the US is willing to ensure they have robust security of their computer systems. Even the US government does not care enough. To make matters worse, the US uses contractors for secure systems, so (again) the executives of those contracting companies want to boost quarterly profits so they won't spend the big money required to have better security. It is hard to secure an enterprise-scale system and still have it usable by regular employees. The executives don't care. Likewise, government officials don't really care. Who went to jail when the General Services Administration was hacked and all security clearance application data was stolen? ALL people with secret identity require a security clearance and that data was handled by GSA. That means every secret identity possessed by officers, employees, and other agents were all compromised. Nobody went to jail. Nobody was fined as far as I know. Nobody even got fired. So, our systems are too weak, and any and all adversaries (even allies) can hack our systems. It's heartbreaking to watch corruption of indifference and greed weaken this country. The only salve on this wound is that we live in an open society so at least our intentions are already fairly public. Still, secret people, secret capabilities, and secret plans are almost never reliably secret here in the USA.

  813.  @christsciple  - Velocity of money? Shh! The greedy 1% turns the flow of money into a whirlpool as thick as molasses in winter. The economy stops flowing when you look at what happens when the greedy 1%ers get their hands on it. They don't spend anything at all once it exceeds there personal buying habits. So the money gets frozen and the virtuous cycle of paying money for goods and services comes to a grinding halt. Thank the greediest of the greediest. You would think they have a reason for wanting all that money. The only reason is deep-seated insecurity. They can't bear to spend it. So why earn it? Insanity.

  816.  @banneddamn  - Yea, and now NASA uses metric units. Because the SI system makes sense by scaling the various units in any dimension by a single factor (10), rather than random factors (12, 3, 5280, 16, 4, 2, etc.). You know it's idiotic to use when the original empire that used that system abandoned it. Just recently, some conservative twit in the UK tried to bring back the Imperial system (just to get the votes of contrarians) and that politician got broadly slapped down by darn near everybody.

  818.  @ToDeoS  - Actually, our brains are more fit to do binary. In general, though, they are fit to work with any system that scales up by a single factor. Trying to scale between random-sized leaps is a mess (12 in =1 foot, 3 ft=1 yard, 1760 yd=1 mile; ? sq ?= 1 acre (see, it's so screwed up most US citizens don't remember this); 8 ounces=1 cup, 2 c=1 pint, 2 pt=1 quart, 4 qt=1 gallon). Wth? The irony is that the countries that have the power to set the rules lack the ability to change them! They develop very entrenched rules which are hard to change since too many people protest the costs of change. Look at standard household voltage. The US should have switched to 240V long ago. We won't because we''re too dominant. Nobody can force us to do it. No business or consumer wants to be the one that pays the upfront cost of change.

  824. A big reason for our problems is LITERALLY one person. And Niall is a big believer in the impact of single individuals. Look at the impact of Rupert Murdoch. He is an Australian who got a hold of otherwise illegal levels of control of publishing and broadcasting media in the UK, and then in the USA. He used this network to spread lies upon half-truths and deceptions, endlessly and so quickly they could not be suppressed. Through this he brought us the GOP that passively allowed 9/11 to happen (Bush cancelled meetings about the bin Laden pursuit despite his history with other bombings, including at the WTC!), the GOP that lied to its own country and the world about Iraq and cost it THREE TRILLION in war expenditures in Iraq, with no clear benefit to Americans except getting THOUSANDS of Americans killed and killing HUNDREDS of thousands of Iraqis. And there is so much more. The majority of people who supported all of that won't speak of it or will deny their guilt. They refuse to accept what Murdoch got them to do, and their own role in it. They will deny their guilt or lie about the neoconservatives, the Tea Party, and MAGA, always moving from one BS story of blaming others to another. All of this is due to Rupert Murdoch. Take him out and the death of truth doesn't happen nearly as badly.

  832. You're not only not an expert, you've got no clue. What size and budget constraints would you disregard to have this magical deceleration zone? Would you put the deceleration zone on the actual runway, so ALL the other flights have no room to land normally, even the plane that had an emergency and landed on that runway would you convert to "natural terrain"? Every time you make a runway longer, you will have planes needing that longer distance. It never ends. You need to accept that crashes will happen unless massive amounts of money are unspent on unused landing space.

  833. Some countries have a lot of truly poor people with abysmal educational levels. Bolivia is such a place, though it is improving. The most significant impact of that lack of education, IMO, is the widespread naivete of the people. They lack the skepticism of those who end up abusing them. Evo is the kind of man who will play the people and he has done so for years. You won't see democracy in Bolivia if Evo's brainwashed people are allowed to be the primary deciders of who runs the government.

  841.  @Enderboiiii  - I was certainly not surprised, but still disappointed to see them half-heartedly using best practices. Except for large cities, few SWAT team members will ever call on their training. They know that. This can effect their training attitude (degree of intention to simulate concern) and even morale. Same goes for other people in training for crises. Look at how many people in fire drills act like it is the real thing. Very few! Same goes for SWAT. If you don't act like training is the real deal, you won't be prepared for the real deal.

  846. I have my suspicions that the issue is also one of metabolism and seasonal survival. Larger animals that survive the winter without hibernation must be hunters. Sitting around as an ambush predator doesn't work well in winter. If you're not using ambush, venom is not too important - you're pursuing your meal and need to get a good handle on it to get venom into it.. If you can pursue and take it down, though, you don't need venom! You already have the ability to kill. What about smaller predators, like insects? Well, two things. Larger insects survive in warmer temperatures. That seems purely seasonal driven. It's harder to become a deadly "venomous" spider or scorpion when your dose is irrelevant. I wonder if you normalize dose sizes inversely to latitude, the density of envenoming predators gets closer to an even spread across latitudes.

  852.  @timallison8560  - You want simplicity for your simple mind? It doesn't work that way. Complexity 1 - All of the Chinese workers. China places many CCP members in these jobs. They sometimes are directly spying, but often just cooperative with their government to advance ad hoc requests and agendas. Complexity 2 - politicians in the port and associated with it will be tempted with further legal deals that help China gain more power and influence. The politicians will face budget constraints and be offered further debt relief in exchange for more Chinese financial leverage and control of infrastructure. They can do things you didn't even think of, like using technology and methods that enable Chinese smuggling to take place. They can run WiFi networks that place spy ware on devices in the port. This is not an uncommon tactic in areas where the CCP's government agencies ultimately control the radiofrequency spectrum. Complexity 3 - China has a direct opportunity to allow more Chinese ships than would otherwise be approved. Complexity 4 - Along with #2, the port brings bribery opportunities. All ports do. These opportunities, though, can favor the Chinese government. It can coordinate the bribery efforts with other objectives. This creates more damage than situations in ports where various parties of conflicting or at least uncorrelated interests are engaged in the corruption. The damage ends up being less strategic.

  855. Do y'all remember when the US deployed insecure advanced drones so that Iran could hijack them and copy US technology? As usual, the military-industrial complex focused less on defending the secrets of the US and her friends and focused more on churning out products they could charge money for. Did they create a product that was secure? No. They created a product that enables wealth transfer to defense contractors. The more they can charge the merrier. Iran realized the US didn't sufficiently protect assets as much as quarterly Return on Investment and quarterly dividends for wealthy shareholders. The US let other people steal advanced tech because it's not as profitable to do the hard work of protecting secrets. In the US, we get the military-industrial complex leeches we deserve. And you have to wonder, how hard could it be for Iran to produce high-tech drones for Russia when the US put in the hard work of developing them (except for their security)?

  863. The business claims it was one percent. How would they know? The testing of the product requires destruction of the foam. They didn't destroy 100% of the foam in the attic during testing, so clearly there is ALWAYS a risk more foam is badly done. Given that the victims were chemically sensitized, which is a very serious matter, the home owners need full certainty they are safe in the home and the foam must be removed. Until you are sensitized to common chemicals, don't even think of writing off that problem as inconsequential when considering imperfect testing. Also, as I first said, the business claimed it was only one percent. Would you trust them if it was your home? More than 1% of the samples returned by the tester showed contamination, so how do you resolve that? You must test 100% of the foam in the home, or else you must make assumptions about the quality and determine your assumptions outweigh the importance of protecting the health of sensitized individuals with damagingly-overreactive immune systems.

People won't stop trying to find fulfillment until it is so costly they can't or won't seek any more of it. Thus, no matter how many albums were to be heard, the effort of creation would not stop until the same levels of bitter disappointment were enventually encountered. Such is life. Such is the human way.

As for your question, the answer for those in similar situations is that sometimes it is due to design limits you can't see, but I bet the reason is that your model is a limited-option/base model while other models offer other cycles within that space instead of leaving it blank. BTW, why doesn't my fancy-shmancy dishwasher let me select a dry cycle? If too much water collects on a dish, when I open the washer, it can splash a lot of the dishes and get them wet. Then the stupid machine will not let me select a dry cycle. I can do myriad things, amazing things but I can't just dry. I hate this.

If you are right, to buy something, you can buy bitcoin ANY time you want, use it as money, and buy your product. You're not holding it for any period of time, so you won't be affected by the rise and fall of the dollar-equivalent value. The SELLER will adjust the price based on the market valuation of Bitcoin. Likewise, the seller won't be affected by price fluctuations as they will also just use Bitcoin for transactions. THAT is the point of it, not worrying about being left behind. The only "being left behind" one needs to worry about is whether or not you have the software and familiarity to transact in Bitcoin.

  922. I just heard the part about why should Americans pay more? Um, because we WANT the system that punishes us this way! This system is what MAGA wants! If they didn't want it, they would restrict it. Other countries pay less because they don't allow bribery - sorry, continuing education speaking engagements and trips - paid to doctors. Other countries don't allow Big Pharma to rack up billions in marketing costs. But our country has the mantra that restricting such things is bad. Never mind that patents are the governments biggest regulation imaginable. How is it we create incredibly valuable regulations to hamper competition of Big Pharma, but then we are bad if we regulate them?

If you have a TRILLION dollars but don't earn a penny, yet a poor person has one lucky year and wins a $90,000 lottery ticket, why in god's name does it make sense to tax the income, not wealth? (Oh, and there is something called income averaging, but the point still stands.) WEALTH should be taxed, not income. Above any amount, one should use it or lose a portion. We need to keep money moving to have functioning economies, and for our species to function cooperatively. If you're not thinking at the species level, you're a flawed pile of crap DNA.

  956. A typical paycheck is a net payout of total pay reduced by tax payments, including payments "withheld" for future settlement of annual income taxes. (The last part is like a forced savings plan, where you pay the gv't, so you have enough money set aside when it is the once-per-year time to pay annual income tax.) Other taxes are for retirement (Social Security), feeding poor families, etc. The withholding rules establish how much fixed tax to withhold per pay period (or per hour worked, for those paid hourly), all based on projected gross income. So, if an employee has X dollars per period as their projected income, Y dollars are withheld from that each pay period (or hour). If the employee doesn't earn enough tips to exceed Y dollars for that pay period (or hours), all of their money will be taken for taxes.

It seems the boat gains energy by constraining the direction of flow. From a conservation of momentum standpoint, it seems possible but I can't say certainly it should happen. After all, momentum and energy are different things.

  976. Nonsense! Those are the good guys with guns! You know, the NRA and gun-obsessives love to tell y'all how the good guys with guns will save the day. Turns out good guys with guns don't want to die, so their powerful instinct to survive seems to override the ideology of "but good guys with guns will stop the shooters". Who would think that it is completely unnatural to run headlong into gunfire? Who would think a good number of cops are so afraid of being shot in the head they sub-consciously (think about that, not consciously) will convince themselves that they must wait until a safer opportunity exists to take on a gunman. Consider the Border Patrol agent who took down the gunman supposedly had a bullet hole in his headgear/hat/helmet(which was it?). Maybe if they had gone to save children earlier, the cops would have died. Who knows. We do know expecting people to sometimes die as "heroes" just so that some OTHER schmoes can own guns is NOT a plan that is working. Children are dying. Time for a new approach. You know, the one that Britain and Australia separately adopted. Lo! Behold, they no longer have school massacres! What a shock! How is this possible? Yes, folks, the gun restrictions SAVE CHILDRENS LIVES. In other words, our current laxity is all it takes to KILL CHILDREN. Our NRA and supporters kill children through their obstinance.

  981. Anecdotes (like your personal experience with phosphate-free detergent) are NEVER confirmatory evidence. They can only falsify hypotheses, not confirm them. However, you use your experience as confirmation. That is a gross failure of logic, even if you are using basic probabilistic inferences. I remember when phosphates were banned and my dishwashing machine was frequently gunking up. The filter would be caked. I tried various brands, but nothing helped for a long while. Finally, I grudgingly settled on the brand that had some gunk deposits but they were the least gunk deposits. My experience was probably different than yours due to the water quality. Hard water and soft water have different characteristics. The specific constituents of the water surely matter at least a little bit. I have since moved. The water is different and the same detergent as before now leaves much less gunk.

You won't find two-stroke motors all over the place like you used to. Engines need to be extremely efficient at burning fuel. If a rotary valve engine suffers low end inefficiency at burning the fuel, it won't be acceptable. If it simply is inefficient with power but burns the fuel cleanly, well that would be less of an issue. So, how are the emissions? When I see the deposits around the cylinder, it has me wondering if the engine would pass.

  994.  @genejeffries2888  - Your answer is basically positing that using the foam is a gamble with your whole health and home, but that's OK because the odds are highly in your favor. The fact is, one should not gamble with costs one cannot afford to pay. If you can't afford to lose your health or your home, don't risk it. Consider that scientific studies have proven that humans make terribly poor judgments when it comes to accepting a low risk of a disastrous event. Using Expectancy Value Theorem would show a decision to get foam is a bad one, but people choose the foam because they think a low risk means they have controlled the risk. They have not. They can be burned, and the cost of the risk is not worth from a pure analysis standpoint. Arguing its people right to make a choice is like arguing Russian roulette is acceptable. It is not. High odds in your favor do not make a gamble a worthy choice. The cost of failure must be considered. If your home has a in 1/30 chance of being done poorly and affecting your health and ruining your homes livabilibty, then for a $300,000 home, the choice to install foam is basically a decision that will cost you $10,000 AND 1/30 of the remaining healthy years of your life. Think about that! That is for odds of 1/30. With a low-cost contractor, that chance might increase to 5/10!

So, some in Ukraine are now worrying that if it falls they will suffer a morale loss. Clearly, even if Russia gains nothing "practical" from Bakhmut, if they take it they probably will get a morale boost from it back home. T(his is true particularly due to propaganda twisting the reality of the story. After all, even Russians who fully understand they are in a sea of propaganda still can't help but be affected by it.) The troops, though, won't care if they take Bakhut. They just want the war to be over.

Nothing is a true "natural right" that you can find written in a stone or secretly encoded in a genome-based message. Russia does not recognize that right, so that presents one of many challenges to making an arrest, let alone one with a beneficial outcome. As for the US president(s) not being arrested, that does not negate the rights of the ICC. It just means the ICC and the treaty signatories are not trying very hard to arrest the US president and the US president(s) are avoiding getting arrested. Might makes right, so don't expect US presidents arrested any time soon, unless the arresting party is willing to face a difficult future for themselves.

And when they resent having to pay taxes to pay for health care for older people, they can go suck it. Maybe they should have hired us instead of laughing that we can't figure out Tik-Tok. Guess what? We just don't give a flying f*** about such things. We have lived life and know Tik-Tok and other things like phone features just don't matter. I can program in multiple computer languages and learn new ones quickly. I can perform statistical analyses, qualitative analyses, and work on solving physics problems. I have experience as a first responder. And I've been told I am told to work by MANY people in acts of blatant discrimination. By the way, I press over 500 pounds on a leg machine at the gym. So, I am not in poor health. I just have a lumbar problem so I can't stand in one place and foot problems that arise when I spend hours on my feet. Fact is, humans LOVE to discriminate. They think life is a zero-sum game, so if they discriminate, it makes them feel better about themselves. And even older people discriminate against older people. Our society runs on pseudo-capitalism. And that pseudo-capitalism has been increasing unemployment because people are incentivized to do it in order to concentrate their own wealth.

If you think ANY armed conflict does not have war crimes going, WTF is wrong with you? People can be cruel enough in survival situations, but when the life-death equation involves intentional armed conflict, you can bet some people will take regrettable actions. They won't even be "themselves", so you war crimes are inevitable. Given that, don't you think it's exceptional how FEW people are being tried and convicted for war crimes, not the other way around. And when trials take place, how can you NOT expect some to involve the accused taking a plea? Seriously, you act as if this picture doesn't look right. This picture is exactly what one EXPECTS within the larger picture. If not this guy pleading, then who in all the conflicts should replace him? SOME people are guilty and SOME guilty people simply should plea rather than fight. It is guaranteed. Why NOT him? What is special about him that makes you so sure he's the exception of those charged with war crimes, not among the guilty? (By the way, your distrust of prosecutors and their intentions/actions does NOT change the fact there will be guilty people.)

  1064.  @wYoungman1  - It is important because in a presidential campaign, relevant issues should not be sidelined for a rehash of overworn conspiracy fantasies that are over two decades old. It is dangerous because he is reviving arguments that inspired other angry citizens to violence, threatening and even killing people accused by 9/11 conspiracy fantasists. Maybe you personally have a need for someone else to raise 20-year old stale questions for you, but most people see this toxic garbage as the distraction it is. He is using the now-decades old Trump strategy of starting arguments faster than people can respond to them. 'Swamy's question is the kind of question that takes a lot of resources to tamp down. It's like if you and I were in a debate and I immediately asked you, "Why do you molest children every day, and not just on your birthday?" The question is not just inflammatory, it is also presumptuously accusing you of daily horrific crimes, AND it is also presumptuously making up a secondary fact, that you would otherwise 'only' commit these crimes once a year if you even did your best for self-control." That kind of political flame-throwing is designed to prevent honest discourse and scramble the public's attempts to achieve optimal governance. This guy is morally corrupt and trust trying to throw discourse into a maelstrom, not facilitate it.

  1074. Aerated water is a serious risk for extreme whitewater paddlers. When they enter roiling rapids, there can be a lot of air bubbles in the turbulent water. This reduces water density so the boat is not as light relative to the water. The buoyancy of the boat goes down, and the boat is more easily swamped. Of course, when paddlers are on potentially deadly rivers, losing buoyancy just makes it that much easier to get into trouble.

You're nearly all being used and happy to fall for their next lie. Here's something you can choke on, GOP supporters. How many criminal referrals did the GOP produce after looking into the Trump-Russian connection. The GOP themselves referred Donnie Jr, Kushner, Bannon, and two others. YOUR OWN TEAM ADMITTED THIS! The same team that made no referrals for Benghazi after MANY investigations. And the GOP Barr has made no indictments after his own investigation of Dems. There is NOTHING. You have NOTHING but your own stunted mentality that keeps you going back for more kicks in the teeth by the GOP. Go back to Trump. Go to him he calls you, you can't refuse When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose You're invisible now, you've got no secrets to conceal How does it feel, ah how does it feel?

  1100.  @leogama3422  - LLMs like ChatGPT usually get context MUCH better than Search. Search has almost no ability to focus the results. Search at least formerly had functional negation/exclusion capabilities, but no longer. If you put in search terms like -exclude_this or "NOT that", you will get matches that specifically INCLUDE this and that rather than excluding them, especially the advertisements! It is insanely frustrating! AI does not do that. But also, if I want something that is contextually similar to something else, but not a match, Search cannot give it. AI can. AI will also do better with sequences and series of logical results, since it can remember interim results as if they are stored program variables. (Variables are just a mathematical language's equivalent of saying, "Remember this concept and give it a placeholding name 'X'. LLMs can use normal language to do that.) Put another way, AI can do algorithms, search cannot. The difference is vast and immensely important. The biggest problem with AI LLMs is that, unlike Search, they can return results that don't exist (i.e., make stuff up). They do this since they are really just trying to complete sentences. That means returning words, phrases, and concepts that are LIKE those in the training data. So, when you expect an individual example you are quite possibly going to get something that is the ""kind of result" you could get from the real world, so you get fake stuff they are cutely calling "hallucinations". I think that is wrong. The results are ALWAYS real. They are answers with REAL strong correlation to what one would expect to see in a sentence, not made up correlations. Just remember that answers are correlations, and without sufficient specificity in the chat request, those correlations won't be 1.0 correlated with a real-world example, just "highly" correlated "very similar" to whatever else could be in the response.

You have no idea what's it like for officers who are called to incidents like homeless having GENUINE mental health issues. The police are trained to physically handle that situation, but handling the mental aspect optimally is often well beyond their training (even trained mental health professionals can face situations were the proper response is simply unproven). So, do you want to spend money putting a mental health expert on the scene with two officers, or just four officers? Go ahead and neglect the solutions to your own peril, dummy.

  1129. Trump's trial is about Trump, not Pelosi, Schumer, Maddow, Biden, or anyone else. He broke the law holding up aid. That's a fact. He did it for personal gain and EVEN USED HIS PERSONAL LAWYER TO DO IT. That's a fact. Even Giulani admits he did that! Even Trump admits he did that. So, if he broke the law acting in his personal interest in an act involving obvious national security along with usurping Congress's intent, then he is guilty. Neither Pelosi, Schumer, Maddow, Biden, or anyone else matters. If you are talking about them when talking about Trump's trial, you're deflecting. Make your case without deflection AND without lying or using unsubstantiated claims. Good luck!

Do you remember when the Red state Congressmen refused to approve Sandy recovery aid. That is the ONLY time in living memory that has been done. People were VERY impacted by that. A few suicides might have even been prevented. The Blue States responded by STILL supporting aid for people hit by disasters. So, don't make this about NY not caring. They care and they send assistance to states in aid.

  1133.  @tacomas9602  - Oscillation modes occur when full (integer) oscillations take place. If two modes sync up within a short number of cycles, a lot of energy can be transferred rapidly between modes before it dissipates, leading to growth of one mode or another. So, if one mode is happening at a small integer multiple of another, it will sync up well for energy transfer. Also, higher order harmonics of any particular mode can interact with higher order of harmonics of another mode, even if those higher modes were not something you were noticing. So, to minimize the frequency at which modes phase together, one chooses mode lengths that are prime numbers relative to each other. (Sorry if I am not more clear, answering this is really not in my time schedule for the day!)

Humans are set apart from other organisms by sentience (you can dither about the details). A Homo Sapiens sperm cell is not a human. Likewise, neither an egg, zygote, or embryo is a human. Despite the simpleton view of so many people, there are pretty much no black-and-white boundaries in the world. Humans share the majority of their genes with earth worms. It doesn't make the worms human or vice versa. There is no firm cutoff. Clearly, though, an embryo that lacks a brain or a four-chambered heart is not nearly a human. It is an embryo. In fact, it's a very good reason for the word existing! We don't say "nano human", we say embryo. No human four-chambered heart and no brain <> human.

Guns have plenty of bad effects, even when not "pointed at" someone. (Also, guns may go off aim, or fire when dropped, etc. You should count that under "isn't pointed at anyone" because that implies an act of pointing that is under control, not a random event.)

  1178. Now that water everywhere is shown to be contaminated with PFAS chemicals, water filters that can filter this out may be important. But are they? First, are PFAS a problem? Well, the safe approach is to assume a non-natural chemical in your body is not safe. Also, some evidence exists that shows PFAS molecules can stick to other molecules without reacting with them, which can have a negative impact on the body in certain chemical pathways. But, that doesn't guarantee they are a problem. Still, enough chemicals in the past have proven to be awful for people, so most people would probably agree that consuming PFAS is a dumb idea. Now, if you want to remove PFAS, what can you do? It depends. First, it is not evident that charcoal filters do a great job removing PFAS. Second, even if you use an effective filter at home, you still might be consuming PFAS in the products you consume at home plus in the food and water you consume outside of the home. So, the situation is murky. And that goes for all contaminants. Do you know if the food you consumed had not absorbed contaminants during cultivation or processing? Was it well-washed? And what about the drinks you consume? Are they using well-filtered water? It will be some time before we have a certifiably safe system for consuming food and drink. Until then, achieving "safety" will be something we can almost never be certain about.

Rarely is there another option to falling. Your default recovery base AFTER you fall is still a rolling foot that can shoot out from under you. When I was learning skateboarding, it was easier than roller-blading. At least the basics that I recall decades later.

  1188. @21:11, I call BS on the excuses MrSubaru1387 is making for poor acceleration. I have been in other low-horsepower four-cylinder cars. In those cars, if I want max acceleration, I could put my foot to the floor and the car would immediately drop to the lowest gear. A manual transmission, which many of the four-wheel drives I was in were equipped with, could respond as quickly as the driver could shift. The Subaru, though, takes until next week for the CVT to establish a proper drive ratio for max acceleration. For accelerating, the slowly-responding CVT makes the car feel like a death trap in situations requiring immediate max acceleration. As for gas mileage, it's crap. I know, because my Legacy has a mileage display. The maximum I get is 28 mpg in situations with nearly constant speed. Well, that's a very rare drive mode in populated areas, where most people live and work. For the low performance, the Subaru should definitely have higher MPG. I suspect part of the gas mileage problem is that attempting to increase one's speed fairly promptly requires dumping a lot of gas into the engine. If you don't do give it enough gas and try to accelerate more "efficiently", the transmission won't deliver the needed torque until the need for it has passed. What's doubly frustrating is increasing the gas to max doesn't help much. There is a point of diminishing returns.

  1189. Well, I can sympathize with both you and the professor. Regarding the professor, physicists often love their field for its elegance. The ideal concept of human-defined "Laws of Physics" is that they should be able to explain the infinite number of situation-specific laws and rules-of-thumb that people use for deciding things like which kind of tires to use. In a default approach through that idealism, a physics instructor (not so much an experimenter or applied physicist) might assume then that the laws of friction should explain decisions about tire friction. Unfortunately, among the laws of physics, about the worst laws you could depend on as approaching the ideal would be the Laws of Friction. One law, as you may know, states that the area of a frictional surface does not matter when it comes to how much friction is generated by a load. In the physics students' world, this law is "proven" in lab experiments they personally conduct. the problem is those very experiments - and the text books - fail to mention that the experiments use materials that follow the ideal the laws. The experiments should use sticky tape and rubber. Even if they did, physicists would at first argue that you are not measuring friction, you are measuring adhesion. Well, at that point you're almost defining things to get the outcome you want. Adhesion or friction, the goal is to determine the resistance to sliding, and the laws of friction in physics as taught to non-specialists are poorly advertised as being highly dependent on materials. Physicists know this, but they get so used to working with special cases of ideals, they quickly grow comfortable and forget the assumptions. There is also the other way to explain this. The physics instructor deals in the world where cows are spherical. He even MUST deal in the world. Have you tried to explain the infinite complexity of the real world to a typical student. More so, have you ever tried to write an equation for students that is even solvable without using idealized assumptions? The professors get locked into that world. It might even be worth it for the professor to be wrong just so twenty other students don't hear of your conversation and end up losing their understanding of the laws of physics that DO apply to many materials.

  1190.  @Workinprogressmaxi  - High school physics instruction assumes friction is only due to scale invariant roughness. (BTW, this video does a great job of simply showing what that roughness looks like.) The problem with tires is they exhibit significant scale-variant roughness, particularly as pressure is applied. Plus, tires can exhibit adhesion as well. Never mind the road properties that make things more complicated.

  1197. Argh! I just realized something I have not seen in the tens of comments I read. (Sorry, but I can't read the nearly 50k written!) Lots of folks focus on the energy that would be directly transferred to the light bulb. However, the wires also transfer energy to the parallel wires connected to the lamp. So, the process of transfer is really growing continuously, not just acting like a spike. The two parallel parts of the circuit are going to have inductive effects that spread linearly at the speed of light. This will have perhaps sufficient energy to really light up the lamp, depending on the energy needed. I am far too unwilling to apply math to what looks like to me to be a rather non-linear problem more appropriate for specialists to simplify rather than a wannabe like me.

  1198. @Patrick Price - Well, there are a series of deadlines. For example, the Monday after the second Wednesday in December of presidential election years is set (3 U.S.C. §7) as the date on which the electors meet and vote. The electors should their own supporting state results delivered to them by their respective states (or the District of Columbia if there) prior to this date. When the states have completed their vote counts and ascertained the official results, the U.S. Code (3 U.S.C. §6) requires the state governors to prepare, “as soon as practicable,” documents known as Certificates of Ascertainment of the vote.The certificates must list the names of the electors chosen by the voters and the number of votes received in the popular election results, also the names of all losing candidates for elector, and the number of votes they received. Certificates of Ascertainment, which are often signed by state governors, must carry the seal of the state.One copy is forwarded to the Archivist of the United States(the The Electoral College: A 2020 Presidential Election Timelinehttps://crsreports.congress.govArchivist), while six duplicates of the Certificateof Ascertainment must be provided to the electors before the date on which they meet.

Well, it is paid for by the sales generated by ads, but the ads cost MONEY. The citizen pays for that money. People like you support the business model but it really is NOT in the citizens healthy interest. Thanks for believing you're mostly paying for research. You are not. And if you think Pharma is not supremely corrupt, consider this. I work in consulting. EVERY year I have had to take MULTIPLE versions of anti-corruption training required by the government. Why? Because Pharma companies find that crime pays. When they caught, they sign Corporate Integrity Agreements. Those "CIAs" require employees, contractors and consultants to take the training. And if you work with three companies that all have CIAs, you must take the same type of training for EACH company! It's ridiculous. It goes on and on, every year. The number of hours I have spent in this training goes into the triple digits! Every year I do it. Big Pharma is corrupt. Period. The whole business model is immoral, IMO. Our governments and non-profits could handle research and education. Instead, Big Pharma has corrupted our politicians and even the citizens' values so much they agree to let the business model run on. That is morally corrupt. Once you've got that, don't be surprised that the legal corruption occurs as well.

  1211. As a non-pilot (but one who had some pilot training), I am puzzled as to why confused pilots in situations like these don't shut off all automation systems and fly manually. They are trained to fly that way as students in the their first aircraft. It works. It is not confusing. Stick, ruddder, and throttles should do it. Add in trim tabs, flaps, and spoilers if you like. Landing gear if you are going to land. Why do I never hear of this being a recommended course of reaction in response to a confused state that should obviously be alarming? Is the industry filled with pig-headed people who refuse to give up on the idea that a confused pilot will ALWAYS correctly think a way out of the problem before disaster strikes? What is so terrifying about flying manually? Seriously, please explain why this course of action is not acceptable. Once flying manually, things would be fine and the pilots could figure out how to restore use of automated systems. I really need to know why flight procedures are so adamant about putting actual flying-the-plane skills at the end of all options, if even considering them at all? Instead it seems to be all about flying-the-computer, or more realistically, flying-the-corporate-line. [Edit: I had not watched the post-crash part that discusses regulatory changes to procedures. Exactly what I was thinking. Shut off automatic control, go to standard throttle, etc. Thank goodness! However, I still think this should be done during any times of obvious confusion. Why not do it?]

And without his explicitly saying this, his MAGAts suck it all up. With them, there is not even an optimization of accuracy to get near an unknown truth. There is only the goal of chaos. As soon as a truth is approaching wide agreement, they start distracting and distorting to keep anyone from converging to an actual truth. Even Trump's own "truth" is temporary. Thus, he changes his stories into contradictions and it doesn't matter. Chaos is all that matters.

  1219. The UK is much more aware of the war Putin has taken to the world. The Russians have deployed chemical weapons to kill people on UK soil, including British citizens! Germany thinks they will coast along while the rest of NATO countries carries them. In the long run, this decision allows Putin more time to weaken Western countries one by one and divide them. When your political, economic, and social systems are literally under attack from another party and you have a chance to help someone else (not even you) stop that aggressive party, you don't sit on your hands with a self-righteous attitude about how peaceful you are. If this continues, the peaceniks in Germany will find themselves in a vassal state of Russia, and forcefully drafted by Putin to fight another war for Putin. And then they will all cry it wasn't their own fault.

    1
  1225. Well, the highway and rail system is horribly inadequate for further development. And the development exploding all along the coast is going to make building rail lines or highways (or even widening them) next to impossible. No planning at all. The current development plan is to just let the "invasions" keep happening. That is insane. I can't believe that happens. On the other hand, given the otherwise iron-grip hold of the wealthy on Peru, those "invaded" lands would never be open for development by the entrepreneurial spirit of the hard-working people of Peru.

He is getting RICHER off of these coins! People who bought in to get his favor win his favor. His sucker fans who bought them out of devotion lose. But losing "billions" of value due to 30-40% mean there is 70-60% left. That's many more BILLIONS that Trump and his family and friends have made for free.

The war was documented and photos taken of the bombing, including bombing of oil refineries, oil depots, rail yards, munitions factories, aircraft factories, ball bearing factories, and all manner of place. The reality is that the WWII Allies and the Axis both bombed all sorts of targets. The reason German industrial output increased during the war was a combination of poor bombing accuracy by the Allies and effective work by the Germans and their many enslaved workers. It is estimated that Albert Speer alone bore a high responsibility/credit for managing the German war output so well. While some have mythologized his role, he was a highly capable bureaucrat and technocrat. Try reading a full suite of well-informed sources. This will help to fill in gaps that arise from bias, plus help you to catch poor and even incorrect information and conclusions. I recommend starting with The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.

  1262. I took custody of my father's Town Car when his driving was too dangerous (and he needed to be put into assisted living). There are several big problems with this car. 1. The car can be DANGEROUS. I would not give this car to anyone I love without a strong review of this problem. I have driven many cars in my life. This is the ONLY car in which I have had repeated problems of my right foot actually pushing the gas pedal while I was trying to brake, regardless of my footwear! Sometimes during braking my foot was only pushing the gas, not even touching the brake. Other times I have been pushing both pedals. (They are close enough to each other for this to happen.) I have approached traffic stops, busy roads, and sharp curves and found myself accelerating instead of slowing down! I have tried the pedal adjustment feature and it didn't matter what the setting was. I suspect the issue is mostly due the location of the pedals. They might not be as far right as on other vehicles. They might be too close to each other. Or, it might be the way the right leg or right heel is not supported and this lead to the foot falling to the right. However, I have driven other cars that lack a convenient side support for the leg and I don't recall having this repeated problem with any of them. (Maybe I am forgetting a rental or two, but it would still be unusual.) After this experience with the Town Car, I understand how some people hit the gas instead of the brake. If they are experiencing a problem similar to mine, they are not confused drivers. They are simply finding that the mechanics of hitting the brake doesn't allow a relaxed approach to just angling one's foot to the left and pushing the brake pedal. What one is expecting and what one gets can be two different things. Now I wonder if many people driving into store windows from parking lots are simply driving cars whose pedals require rather intentional use. Much of driving is nearly unconscious habit and feel. If a car behaves out of normal range during half-conscious operations, it could lead to obvious problems. Are most people hitting the gas unintentionally used to driving other cars? 2. The pedals are very sensitive. You barely touch the brake and you're flying forward against your seat belt. You barely touch the gas and all eight cylinders are roaring. For me, this problem is made worse by my other car having soft pedals! =:-D Regardless, other cars I have driven were rarely this sensitive. Adjusting the pedals doesn't help, by the way. The pedal position is not causing the sensitivity. 3. The car lacks rear traction. The gas is VERY sensitive (as I mentioned earlier), but the transmission and power transfer are just tuned badly for the available power compared to the rear weight of the vehicle. I can spin tires *unintentionally*. This is a problem you can't do much about, because the pedals are so sensitive you can't easily depress the accelerator until you get the start you want. It's like an on/off switch. Parked or peeling out. Oh, the tires are fine btw. Tread is good, pressure is 35 psi. So, they are not hard as a rock and slick. 4. I hate the driver's seat. It always feels like I am slipping out due to the angle of the lumbar area pushing me forward. I have a bad lower back and sometimes I enjoy extra lumbar support. This is different. The seat just drives me nuts. I can't tilt it back enough, retract it enough, whatever. Every combination of this seat's setting leaves me feeling pushed off the front edge. It drives me nuts and has me fidgeting frequently. This then drives my wife nuts.

You are given "American Indian or Alaska Native", Asian, "Black or African American", "Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander", and White. So, a snow white Yakut from northern Siberia and a black southern Indian are "Asian"? LOL! Likewise, someone from Thailand and someone from Turkey are Asian. WTF? Seriously, I would like just ONE person to give a clear and verifiable definition of race that science can agree on. Oh, wait. Science says race doesn't exist. Oh, really? Just ask the BBC, White Supremacists, La Raza, Black Panthers, and other losers who can't figure out that self-selecting CULTURE is nearly everything that defines the vague thing called race.

  1312. I saw another video where a guy deals with the grease mess of rebuilding the CV. It's a total nightmare of mess, since the guy didn't have a proper workshop. Well, I don't have one either. I ask myself, "How many dinners would I pay for to avoid this mess, especially the trouble I would get in with my wife if any of the axle grease got somewhere on a shoe or hand and made into the living areas of our house? For me, it's not worth the risk. I would love the process were it not for the grease.

  1313. You wouldn't know intelligence from pseudo-intelligence. To evaluate intelligence, you should be intelligent. You need to be fully skeptical of ALL people you hear, not just the ones you distrust. You need to think critically and challenge with questions, all the time and not just when its someone not on your political "football team". You need to demand evidence, logic and use evidence and logic to even evaluate your prior evidence and logic. If you think the people you listed, particularly RFK, Trump and DeSantis, are reliable with the truth, you are lacking in those things I mentioned.

  1316. The title alone says it all. The reality is, when poll results are discussed in mass media, their idea is to stimulate the audience into fighting to contest or promote the results. That is not news, it is involving the media in the conflict. That's destructive, not informative. But what do they care? It makes them money and more powerful. Rupert Murdoch created the biggest, most profitable mass media empire on the planet by NOT reporting and instead stirring the conflict. All other media empires are now trying to be like his.

  1318.  @mangos2888  - You can be as smarmy as you want, but let's see how Ukraine, NATO, the EU, and nearly all of the Asian countries would keep their independence without the US to support them, through soft power and hard power. Having a population roughly equal to California and an economy that is of less importance than that, Canadians don't matter much at all to the geopolitics of the world. So, their society is spared much of the costs of the influence wars that take place within the countries that have real power. Those costs include a constant propaganda between various sources of power. And if Canada was so great, why is Quebec looking to expect immigrants to speak French? What kind of d-bag expects immigrants to know the local language? Ever try to learn a language at 60 years old? How about being younger but raising two kids while working two jobs? Oh, no, but the Quebecois will DEMAND that everybody has to be like them. If you like provincialism and racism, well you'll love that about many Canadians. I have found in my world travels that most places that claim to have no racism only have a lack of it because they are the least welcoming to minorities and simply don't have that many. Remind me again of how many blacks live in St Johns? And how many REAL Canadian children, the indigenous ones, were buried in schoolyards after being stolen from their families? Yeah, keep on pretending the world isn't as complex. Canada is only as "nice" as its ability to insulate itself from the realities of the world. Otherwise, it is no better or worse than another country.

  1320. I am still calling "NOT ALIENS!" Either these aliens have mental illness or some either serious mental defect, or this is not aliens. Think about it. If you were an alien traveling the stars, would you keep flying around a bunch of vessels stuck to the surface of the water? Would you not be more interested in the 99.999999% of native activity that is NOT military maritime? It's not like modern naval ships or even military aircraft are even a primary factor in understanding human society and culture. So, either there are aliens with OCD, obsessed with irrelevant naval vessels, or it is not aliens. Additionally, why do we have such terribly inadequate phenomena coverage on these UAP? So we should be grateful about a radar clip (ostensibly real)? We should be grateful with eyewitness accounts? Regular citizens get more useful, multi-perception footage of street cops beating down citizens than the whole US Department of Defense can provide us get with their complete surveillance system running 24x7x365 under total global coverage? And how come we can't get anticipatory comments like, "The analysts considered these images could be caused by human-built hardware launched by SSNs and deploying ECM to test our defenses. Just because we have not built such things doesn't mean we couldn't. FFS, we went to the moon and even the Challenger Deep - decades ago! Humanity CAN build such things if we cared to, and maybe someone has cared to do such a thing. But no, people skip the easiest solution and try the most complex solution imaginable - building a whole other space-faring species from nothing. As if that is a simpler explanation.

It's still an intelligent decision but I wonder if the crows were properly normalized to the less-valuable treat? If they were not normalized it, they may have chosen a known tool over something they had spent much time evaluating. The philosophers and scientists who deeply think about these types might have different levels of confidence in certain conclusions depending on the crows familiarity with the less-valuable treat. After all, that treat might also come with consequences they are unfamiliar with, while the special tool has more predictable consequences. Maybe the crow is choosing a safe option and that is it.

  1354. This guy is out of touch with reality. He claims that when a government collects taxes to pay for jobs, that is paying for jobs through theft. So, let's get this right. The people CHOOSE (i.e., vote) to hire a mayor to provide services by governing as mayor. The people CHOOSE (i.e., either directly or by their elected reps) to collect some taxes so the government can pay for the mayor. They pay him, he provides a service, and this self-deluded fellow calls it theft. Let's say the people then agree to increase taxes so they can afford to hire first responders. Others would call that a mutually beneficial exchange where the people pay money for lifesaving services and the first responders collect a salary. This fantasist calls that theft. What a load. I stopped listening at that point. However, before then I had a big problem with his extremely subjective approach. He offers NO quantitative standard for his chart analyses (where he draws lines and why). One of the biggest forms of scamming people with ideas is from people who draw trends on charts of data that includes noise on multiple time scales, particularly noise that is scale invariant. These scammers draw these lines without giving you ANY quantitative (and hopefully time-independent and regime-independent) criteria for how they choose the dates and value ranges, but they claim their perspective is the right one. The fact is, charts of noisy data can be drawn at varying slopes across the same time period (based on naturally biased and unnoticed weighting), and certainly over just slightly different time frames. That's a few more minutes of my life I won't get back. Folks, if we all stop settling for hokum like this, the algorithms of YT won't trick us with these videos and we will ALL save time by only watching informational videos based on maximum objectivity and quantitative rigor.

Doing things as is, keeping them low, is hell on the knees of taller people with bad knees. I have to do deep squats - past 90 degrees - when I first wake up in the morning. That is a ridiculous ask of anybody with bad knees or anybody over 50. It is also a problem in some public bathrooms with wide designs because I can't even reach the wall with my hands to ease myself down and take the strain off of my knees. I really want to punch the person who thinks this is OK. If that sounds painful, well that would be the whole point. If the people choosing this situation don't mind causing pain for members of society, then those people should get to feel pain.

Like the JFK assassination, no matter screwed up it is, there will never be an explanation that can be proven. Move on. I DO think the biggest problem on 9/11 is what simply happened. It was pretty much the same kind of attack method as in the best-selling book by Tom Clancy, Debt of Honor. The problem with that is the administration said nobody thought that kind of thing could happen. BS. They KNEW it could happen. Now, I am mindful that politics within any bureaucracy can cause outcomes that seem idiotic. So, maybe they just grossly dropped the ball. I don't know. It doesn't matter what I think, or you think. There is NO way you'll be able to confirm your suspicions. Plus, if you try, you're simply trying to fulfill your own prophecy, believing your own press. That's not how you find truth.

  1360. No, we don't. Political speech writers at his level are complete sell-outs. They are worse than public affairs people, even the top spokespeople. The latter at least face the public and so their reputations are held to account. Speech writers help politicians and especially dictators like Putin to deceive and succeed, and the speech writer goes unnoticed and suffers no reputational damage. In this video, you are believing what he says. It is lies and half-truths. My, how good of a fellow he looks to be when you listen to describe himself. Of course, he sounds good. He controls the description and sells it you, and you buy it right up, including his statements about how Putin was clearly a good guy at the time. Putin was never a good guy. Nobody who followed him (let alone somebody who wrote his speeches) would have lacked insight into who he was. This guy, though, works in sales via speech writing. He knows if you sell the idea, even to yourself, the story of your idea becomes the narrative and the narrative is what is real to most people, not the (lack of) facts behind it.

Since the Soviet Union had a communist system that would naturally evolve into a self-protective leadership, that it most certainly was fated at that point that the country would be mismanaged and collapse.

  1365. How about oligarchs stop taking so much for themselves? Humanity is a whole species, Homo Sapiens, not just a few d***heads who dole out crumbs and consider themselves gods. This really applies to the attitude of most humans, though! Most humans are pathetically greedy. There is no need for it, particularly given the impact of trade. If 10 separate people are self-employed in the same trade within the same community, all doing well, there is no need for one of them to corner the market and make all of the other tradespeople work for the one - and work for less. But greedy people say that is the best way. If getting rich means impoverishing a million others, tough luck. Well, until you even consider that attitude and fix the problems it brings, and until our species stops making its own so miserable, why even pretend our species is worth elevating?

  1366. Too help along, one can memorize critical reference numbers. For example, fairly warm is 82 F, which is also 28 C. That is easy to remember - just reverse them! Room temperature is 72 F and 22 C. 60 is 16. For the fools out there who think conversions must be accurate to the decimal, they do not! Unless you are making highly technical decisions. you can even be off by one or two in the singles digit in your conversion. That is because we use these numbers for vague decisions. Let's say, today's high will be 82 F. WHAT does that mean to decision process for the whole day? You probably won't ever be in a location where the temperature is exactly 82. But you have a rough range of temperatures that you will be in and 82 is near or above the maximum. Likewise, you can do the same approximations for arctic or oven temperatures. Likewise for speeds (wind, car, jet, etc.). I made a table in a Word document showing Celsius and Fahrenheit at easily remembered numbers or levels. The numbers don't always align perfectly, but who cares? Also, for speeds (useful to me for weather observations/forecasts as well as driving).

  1367. None of the whining here matters. What matters is that Rupert Murdoch was given exceptional waivers to control media in multiple markets in multiple channels (print, tv, radio) - in the UK. Then he was given the same rights in the US. His company and wanna-be copy-cats now brainwash people daily. Reaching them is the challenge, and they must be reverse-brainwashed. I hear no solutions to his problem. Humans are not rational, they are generally emotionally driven. A key demographic - enough to win the electoral college by hook or by crook - is now captured by the billionaires. (And that includes their intrusion into the HQ of the Dems, I should add.) Until that can be corrected, nothing in these types of channels matters.

  1378.  @joee.blessed1223  - Your sense of reality is different than mine, so let's talk. How many whimsical abortions take place each year moments before childbirth? Do you have verifiable records of even one taking place ever, let alone many per year? If not, why are you assuming this is a thing? Because you're anxious and need something to fret about that is not a real-world issue? Also, you said you don't agree with abortion. Do you think just a few cells can constitute an actual human? Because if thirty-two non-sentient cells are induced to be dropped out of a woman's uterus, people call that an abortion. 32 human cells. So, if someone scrapes your skin, did they commit murder since they killed some human cells? What constitutes a human? If a human lacks sentience, is it human? Such questions are part of the reason the abortion debate is a hot topic. Btw, the Christian Bible and the Torah CLEARLY consider ending a pregnancy to be less than murder. There are literally two highly different punishments for murder and causing the loss of a fetus. The latter is considered a much more minor issue. So, if you oppose abortion as murder, it is most certainly NOT because you are a devout Jewish or Christian who believes in the holy text. Is it science, because science certainly would not classify a few cells as humans, not even a human fetus that looks like a tadpole would qualify as "a human". Given all this, can't you see how reasonable people might think that saving a woman's life is acceptable even if it means allowing a dying fetus to die?

  1385.  @animeturnMMD  - You think infrastructure lasts longer in freezing/thawing climates than in low-rain environments that rarely have hard freezes? What planet are you on? From frost heaves and freeze-thaw ice damage cycles, the colder climates suffer abuse of architecture. There is a reason that Spring is called Pothole Season! In addition to the natural corrosion and breaking, the anti-ice salting used on roads can break up infrastructure. Heavy snowfall collapses buildings and also creates deadly avalanches that block roads. Finally, if you think equatorial countries get cold (with the exception of the highest peaks), you have never been outside in temperate countries in late January. The amount of structural and geological contraction and expansion is greater. There is a reason that architectural ruins survive much longer in warm climates than cold climates. There is a reason that aircraft stored at Davis-Monthan aircraft graveyard survive to this day. No, cold countries suffer most definitely extreme wear-and-tear on infrastructure. Meanwhile, in searing hot and rain-drenched tropical places, the original wooden buildings from colonialists still survive. Much of infrastructure loss is not from climate, but poor design and maintenance.

First let's find out WHAT was done, rather than vague accusations and assumptions. You attribute bad intent to people quite easily. It fits your fear-needing-a-cause agenda, but that doesn't make it right. If you attribute bad intent to people, you better have proof for it, otherwise you're just being slimy. So, why are you accusing the FBI agents of bad intentions? And remember, plenty of people - including MANY high-profile preachers and pastors - have been considered good, even Godly, people before they were proven to be molesters, fraudsters, and other types of criminals.

He has said NOTHING to contradict the fundamental science that the Earth WILL warm due to man-made CO2. You would need a "Hand of God" to interfere with that to stop it. So, if we are warming the planet, why not stop? Well, ecologists and agronomists and security experts have expressed sound reasons to avoid warming. You ignore them at serious peril for the people of 100 years from now.

Nothing. Something too faint to see (and too small if seen from space with perfect optics). So, they use an "instrument" or "device" to look at the star and measure light. It does not see with a human eye, but instead measures light and numbers are the output. Then people use the numbers to create an image of their choice, one that highlights certain ranges over others or whatever algorithm is useful.

If I push too far, it naturally pushes back to the correct setting. Also, pencil gauges even work if they fly apart and you have to reassemble them. The core part is just a spring, so if the spring isn't damaged, the gauge will work again. Finally, whenever I end up in possession of a gauge, I check against the other gauges I have. If they don't pass, I toss them.

So, yes, I do think the politicians and even upper officials consult with people, including other politicians as well as donors and voters. In fact, that's what many politicians spend MOST of their time doing. Fund raising doesn't just consist of one stating, "I need your money. Would you please give me some?" Politicians sell but they also must consult, even if only for the appeasement of some who they might not listen to. Get a grip. Learn about government and basic reality.

  1423.  @josh885  - It's not ego. It's power. It's the greed of humanity. Humanity is a lot worse than most people realize. We are NOT a species that cares for itself. Caring usually starts with oneself and the family, and then the tribe. Screw everybody else. This is true around the world. Sure, you HEAR that "we care" and token efforts are made. But look at the world. People dying in misery and yet US citizens complain they want phones in different colors. If humans really cared about each other, homelessness would not exist. It simply would not. The solution is easy to identify. For our feelings and desires, the solution is impossibly difficult to implement. We can't have more of what we want. But that is who our species is. If you want something different, how do you evolve the literal DNA of humans? That takes natural selection - elimination of people or preventing them from breeding. And the people who need to be eliminated are the only cruel ones willing to implement such policies, which they would implement against the good people. So, humans don't evolve. We keep suffering going, endlessly.

She clearly admits that Trump said he was NOT robbing the bank!" Yea, keep pretending what Trump said matters. He had ALREADY established a Quid Pro Quo. AFTER Trump learned Congress was onto his game, he took that phone call and only then said there was no quid pro quo.

He was clearly trying to quickly strike directly at Kiev. However, Putin's generals did not manage the logistics well. They also didn't plan on the fields near Kiev being flooded. Try reading informative news sources rather than Russian propaganda. You will learn about reality.

  1446. It's not just embarrassment as an American, it's as a human. Trump is what America and humanity produced. He is the net production of the Electoral College, which was created for people who enslaved other humans and wanted to keep doing it forever. He is the net production of an electorate that is unwilling to pass referenda to force the legislature to stop using an internal rules system that empowers two political parties to put their own continuance above all else. He is the product of false Christianity and even false faith of pretty much all kinds. He is the manifestation of their lying, hypocritical falsity. The "prosperity gospel" andd the followers who donate money and prop up oligarchs of the megachurches all helped to create him. This is idol worship mixed with projection and NOT Christianity. It multiply irritates me because I know there is no God, but I understand these people won't face that truth. But then they go against their own religious book! And they also go against common sense morals. But that's Rupert Murdoch's America, a country manifested by a traitorous, unscrupulous foreigner.

  1451. The best physics and mechanics instructors focus on the fundamentals of the problem and connect at the listener's level, not their own. This video is a good example of that. If anyone out there likes understanding physics with a common perspective, I suggest for atmospheric physics check out the short and easy books written some time ago by Craig Bohren. You can probably save money buying them used, btw. He wrote two books called "Clouds in a Glass of Beer" and "What light through yonder window breaks." You can literally understand certain physics problems by looking at a glass of beer (he uses them for a few lessons) or other things like looking at the patterns of frost on a car window. The beer lessons are actually good talking points when you're drinking carbonated beverages with friends or family or even strangers, I suppose.

Or, is it really that Russia is manifesting the "agenda" of oligarchical self-organization of human power dynamics, regardless of who the people and ideologies are? Is the inherent tribalism coded into DNA driving everything? Could there be sociopolitical movements and and responses that we don't necessarily attribute to tribalism being actually driven by tribalism with more determinism than we realize? Is oligarchical government the most naturally evolved system we can expect for our times? It seems to me that is happening.

They see investing as a pyramid scheme. They pay money to buy into the fraud, but they collect from other actual suckers when they sell the stock at a higher price. Investment banks in particular have often shown their willingness to make money off of sketchy schemes. They can help promote the scheme and find the suckers to buy in. Note that they can make their money in hidden ways, even if they appear to have lost money.

  1472. @Frank Vera - The coffee maker typically spits out over 195 degrees F. I measured my wife's electric kettle water temperature. Though it cut off after it began boiling, the water in the upper third was still only 198 degrees F (despite all of the turbulent mixing). So, same temps in this case. And measured by two separate thermometers that I've trued against freezing and boiling water. So, they are accurate (and fast response, too). Certainly, the lower end of the kettle's water mass must have ad patches at 212 degrees F for boiling to occur (we are near sea level), but as those bubbles rise through the water column, the whole thing does not instantly all become 212 F. As far as the chance this is just due to my coffee maker and my electric kettle differences, they function pretty much the same way with their shut-offs AND these devices are often built in just a few ways using the same parts as most other brands. So, really, there is no difference. Plus, for coffee makers, I have measured water temps coming out of several of them (because I wanted proper temps). IIRC, temps in the cheapest ones would be in the 180s while others where in the 190s. Remember, the boiling water forces unboiled water (so not necessarily at boiling temps!) up a tube and then usually the water traverses a dispensing mechanism. This helps to cool the water just a bit more before exiting.

  1486. I am sick and tired of people who work above ground saying they didn't see any Hamas HQ. No duh. IT IS UNDERGROUND. Also note how this doctor says he didn't see any Hamas leaders. Oh, but staff and foot soldiers maybe. Then he looks down when mentions this topic. During the video he looks at the camera rather consistently, but he took a big look down talking about Hamas. Can't look us in the eye? Sometimes people avoid the truth because they want to control the reaction to it. He knows if he admits HQ might be there, it undermines his attempts to safeguard the hospitals. However, his concerns don't change whether or not Hamas has built underground facilities under the hospitals. I expect they did this, if they are smart. They are brutal. They have always used civilian shields and goaded Israel into hurting civilians. They are disciplined in their intentions to do this. So, I bet the claims are true. The media asking people what others have seen is just stupid and lazy. Get the facts right first by honestly and earnestly investigating them, THEN decide what to do about them based on values you can get others to agree to.

  1487.  @madshorn5826  - Instead of throwing out a vague term and telling people to Google it, try providing deeper information that justifies your concerns or provide a link. Waste heat from nuclear reactions would be inconsequential to Earth's temperature. If the heat is at the surface, it will radiate to space, just like the solar heating we get every day. If the heat is subsurface, it will be a negligible fraction of the natural radioactive decay occurring at a massive scale throughout Earth's crust, mantle, and core.

I have met plenty of engineers who are intellectually corrupt due to their emotional capture by the industry in which they work. Their identity as an engineer was so important to them they surrendered to group think in order to conform. They bought the company/industry line on problems in their industry to justify their jobs and feel superior at the same time. Again, I have MET these people. They are not all engineers, but you sound like one of them. Try showing intellectual rigor and common sense usefulness. Nobody cares if you know which alloy makes the best material for a cooling pipe or which radiation detector you wear. Address the challenges at hand and stop hiding your deficiencies behind a barrage of questions and challenges to others.

  1496. That teaching assumes that attempts to turn the car have the same tire performance limits as the attempts to slow it down. In other words, it assumes all else is equal. As the video points out, all else is not equal. Turning while braking does add the need for some lateral frictional force, but braking while turning adds the ability to deliver more force through the front tires (and less through the rear) by adding downforce on the front and outside tires. So, the relationship of all the forces is not so cut-and-dry.
    1
  1497.  @pinkace  - Who says it is better to do only one at a time? I didn't. The video didn't. Why? If do one at a time, you get each one for less distance/time for each function and that maybe a suboptimal choice. An braking action while turning with diminishing radius is probably optimal, but will require variable braking and turning. Braking before the turn makes you take longer to get to the turn and you will get through the turn slower as well. So, while braking during the turn might require a larger turn radius and thus longer distance to get through the turn, you will get there sooner and (apparently) out sooner. Believe the pros, unless you can beat them. Unless you've done numerical simulations on the matter and driven your solution in competition, don't assume your primitive separation of the two functions is optimal. The pros have their own experts AND experience.

  1515. Remove greedy vultures? So, do you think contractors should be able to gobble up unlimited customers, as they outbid others in a race to the bottom? That kind of greed is what we call the American Dream, becoming a Self-Made Person. Meanwhile, the very same process also forces others out of self-employment and then they have to work for the same greedy contractor who was often simply better at getting and retaining customers, not better at actually doing the work. Then those who work for the "winning" contractor earn less, lose their independence, and become more exploited. That, fundamentally, is how the American Dream works. Get other people to work for you by basically ensuring they can't compete with you as self-employed people. And big companies work the same way. Large corporations ensure small ones can't compete. The whole system is geared to minimize independence and maximize exploitation. And the hardest workers out there, the ones like my cousin who just once were told they were loved in their whole youth, work the hardest in a miserable quest for elusive validation. Everyone else must either work at the same level of misery or lose out in competition. So, do we eliminate those greedy people, the success stories who make everyone else miserable? Good luck being morally consistent on that one, let alone finding a path that remotely produces maximal happiness for the WHOLE population, not just the rapaciously greedy people who will work 12x6 and never enjoy two weeks of their life away from work.

The explanation does an incomplete job of covering how the small masses cause the axis of rotation to deviate so the small masses take on a curved path with a larger diameter. That part of the explanation is highly-dependent on someone simply accepting the claim. The explanation, as far as I heard, does not explain at all how there is a restoring face to return the rotation axis to one that nearly goes through both smaller masses.

I would add, this was happening long before Trump ran for office. He inherited privilege and was trained by his Dad and his mentor Roy Cohn to do whatever he could get away with. This is not a secret. This is who he is. Do you support people doing what they want, even if it breaks the law? Would you like thieves doing that to you if they could?

Humans probably don't have a way of doing this on such a steep slope unless we grip something or are tied to something. Our heads are too heavy and our necks too short. If you put your head that far past your feet, you will bring your upper torso with your head and you will tumble. OK, maaaybe a woman could do it, but not a fit guy with upper torso development IMO.

Did they throw hand grenades at people while following a column of attacking panzers? "Stormtroopers". How about finding out the facts and trying to understand what happened. Hawley claims church spies were considered. WHY? People don't burn budgets without a reason. The FBI investigates possible crimes. If you fear everything is a conspiracy, you will see anything you don't understand as a conspiracy. You will assume people have evil motives. Try getting the truth without pre-judgment.

  1579. OK. And when are people having abortions moments before childbirth? Do you have records of this? Are people saying, "Oh, labor is taking too long. I am going to miss my favorite TV show that comes on soon. Give me an abortion NOW!" Is this really a thing? Seriously, the public should know this is happening.

  1580. @Jessica Smith - A mass of cells that layfolk literally can't distinguish from a tadpole should not be considered a "human".

  1583. I was falsely accused, had my life ruined, and suffer from the effects today from accusations against me by the police after I filed a legitimate report of a crime. So, I know how it is to be the unbelieved victim AND I know what it is like to be falsely accused. (And trust me, the federal gov't is terrifyingly powerful.) Both positions SUCK and both happened to me simultaneously. What hurt me more was the government's false accusations. Being a victim of a criminal I can understand. Being a victim of persistent persecution by the country I love and served - unimaginable.

  1584. The trick was to collect while you still had employees on site who could remove the work if payment was not received. A family friend and my mentor was a metal worker who installed the gold elevator doors and Trump sign, IIRC, on the Trump Tower. He was told he was getting underpaid, then immediately had his workers start removing the same items. He got paid - quickly. Trump has no morals. His supporters don't care. That shows what their own morals are like.

  1586.  @PaulSavop  - You are effin' clueless. Trump's lawyers structured deals so he could get away with this. First, even suing him directly could cost more than the win. Are you stupid enough to do that? The US court system doesn't make life fair or just. It belongs to the wealthy, and even they lose a lot to other unfair people. Second, he could use multiple companies to avoid accountability. For example, he could transfer ("sell") the debts and assets to another paper Trump company, and that company could have negative value and go bankrupt. Who do you sue? A broke company? Trump always takes others' money. He doesn't earn it. He inherited hundreds of millions and would have made more money with it if he simply invested in an S&P 500 index type of portfolio (the ETFs didn't exist back then, but brokers could still give you the equivalent). So, Trump couldn't even make the money of somebody not working at all, but he hired a ghost writer and sold a book about "The Art of the Deal". It should say, "The Art of the Con."

  1587.  @abrahamdozer6273  - I am sure the Saigon experience was an eye opener. And yet we still had the war in Iraq, so do wars really teach the nation anything? Generally, it seems, they don't. The media and the manipulators mute the lessons and sometimes distort them completely. And even if you handed the people an instruction manual, most are so busy with their personal lives they will ignore the manual. Others will claim it is wrong and that it should be rewritten to fit their favorite story. As for the current war in Ukraine, I honestly know very little about Ukraine or the war. I don't care. Putin must be stopped. I do know the extremists around the world often legitimize and even help each other, so the sooner an extreme murderer like Putin is stopped, the better for everyone.

I can't expect others to help me or care about me. Humanity is not typically heroic and I need to look to myself to help myself. It's not about fair or not fair.

  1617. You presume the question was clear, when the question has deceitfully implicit assumptions built into it, whether or not you have the insight or honesty to recognize that and admit it. The language sets up the image of a woman aborting a fetus that could live as a child with no compelling reason to abort it. Has that ever happened in the last YEAR anywhere on the planet? However, the reality of tragic pregnancies is that sometimes situations arise where the fetus is dying and the mother will die if she tries to birth the fetus or have a C-section. You focus on the dark fantasy while ignoring the cruel realities that can occur. Such deceit of the question is something you seem to consider "clear communication" when it is just the opposite. Are you interested in clear communication or feeling righteous about something you don't care to examine too closely and honestly?

  1622. CNN, you might as well be a Russian tool. You keep calling this a drone attack like it is a nation-state quality attack. It is not so. It is a pathetic joke. Try watching the video you are talking about. A small drone flies OVER the Kremlin dome and explodes in mid-air, not even destroying the dome. When the drone lacks the power to even damage a flag, let alone puncture the dome, never mind completely collapsing the dome, then it is obscenely poor journalism to just call it an attack. Then add the fact it was done when Putin was not there. Is CNN so sure that Ukraine cannot at least figure out when Putin is making an appearance somewhere else when they want to attack him at work? Why not just call it a nuclear attack if you're going to totally mischaracterize what happened? I can't believe even so-called "anti-Russian" media is simply calling this a drone attack so often. ALL of the common media channels are playing right into Putin's hands by using the language he chose. That's just the poorest reporting you can imagine!

Birds are extant while pterosaurs are not, so perhaps what you call a disadvantage was and is not so. The muscles used for ground-launch take-off might not have efficient use for regular flight. Also, they might use so much energy for ground-launching that it makes more sense for a bird to jump-launch, even if the jumping muscles add mass.

We'll never know, but I suspect a lot of the genes at work in both creatures are shared, and then you have jumping genes, duplications, etc. I wonder if the leg hopping takeoff is simply a better survival plan, so if the stronger muscle plan could happen, it just doesn't. For example, if you get big, you need more food. (Or do you?) I wonder what mysteries of the prey abundance and types influenced the abundance of large pterosaurs. Maybe I should worry more about working on fixing my cars CV boot, which is why I got on YT in the first place! =:-D

Even though I lived at 7,000 feet at USAFA at the time, running uphill at maybe 11,000 feet made me light-headed. I was running between a few boulders when suddenly I came to a cliff. Two more paces and I might have gone over. You only need 30 feet to die, this was 10 to 100 times that distance, so my life was almost extinguished. In retrospect, I was foolish.

  1645.  @Simboiss  - I see small countries as having the absolute worst person-level effects of corruption, plus they are simply toys to be played with by larger powers. As for intermediate size countries (regional powers), they may suffer the effects of unbridled local corruption less so, but they must also do without control of their full destiny. In reality, though, what does it mean for a country to have such control? Who is the country? People behind the scenes dramatically influence how the US is run and we don't even know who they are. Heck, THEY don't know who everyone is, with all sorts of power players doing there own secret things. (Which is what makes conspiracy fantasists so laughable. "The elites" might do a lot, but often they are odds with each other so not one group ever has control or even full awareness. Exceptions might be like how the US got dragged into two multi-trillion dollar wars. For what?) For all the top-level corruption, it is usually not widespread and so directly personal. The top powers crack down on the oppressive local corruption that is ever more obviously painful to people. In smaller countries, you have more blatant corruption like murder, direct theft, and extortion, with no higher level power to reign it in.

  1646.  @julioalvarez9650  - People who want to split up countries also fail to see something else. Larger countries with deeper governmental hierarchies are able to control local corruption better. When you look at how corruption makes people miserable, to me it seems the worst is when families and criminal groups get local control or maybe regional control. It becomes really personal when the mayor demands you sell your house at half price to his brother. It becomes unlivable when your daughter is raped by a council member's son and the son walks free, laughing the whole way. Large countries generally have more potential for higher-level legal agencies to investigate lower-level agencies that are corrupt.

  1647. @45:00, when they talk about music credits and information, I am reminded of the broken promises resulting from the USA's governmental approval for the conversion of public FM radio transmissions from analog to digital. One of the benefits of the digital conversion was that stations could embed descriptive information within the signal. However, the government allowed this transition without requiring such information and without enforcing the requirement. Instead, the public was sold empty stories about how they could learn more about what was being played. In fact, only some radio stations provide information, and even that is just the name of the song and the primary artist. We can't learn more, even though the potential is there. The worst is when a radio station just fills the data stream with the name of the radio show and that's it. You just see basically a self-promotional message on your radio display, and learn nothing about the music.

These easily wind up covered up with papers, even slipped in between couch cushions. They generate heat and that heat can't dissipate quickly enough if the transformers are covered up. I had a charger laying on the couch and I didn't notice it slipped between some cushions as I moved around. It was quite hot when I realized it had disappeared from view. Likewise for covered extension cords under heavy use. People forget even the cords need to cool. And if a USB-to-outlet converter is on the end of a covered cord, you can bet it is getting hot. Those get hot even when uncovered if they are being used to charge a device.

At least as pets, they will totally pester the owners to get what they want and when they want it. It's actually disappointing to watch. You realize the limits of how much animals might actually care about you even if you think the attention they give you is affection.

They all dissolve out of the pack at the same time - when the detergent door opens and exposes the pack to water! The rinse agent in the packs is the most ridiculous. You need that in the last cycle, not the wash cycle. In fact, most machines (if not all?) include a container for rinsing agent. I am stunned at the silliness consumers will buy into.

  1688. I don't think so. I thought of that myself. However, the sails that are tacking through the wind are fixed to the boat. In this case, if you think of the windmill/propeller blades, they are moving with respect to the boat as well as the wind. That breaks down analogy. Put another way, the only way to capture energy FROM the wind is have it do work. The wind CANNOT do work if it is not pushing so that a COMPONENT of the wind's vector is aligned with a COMPONENT of the sail's equal-and-opposite "resistance vector". (In fact, the two arise from each other.) For a tacking sailboat, the downwind may push on the sail, but the component of the downwind that is pushing is actually just the part that is perpendicular to the sail (the part doing the basic pushing, as the problem gets more complex when you treat the sail as an airfoil). The pushing component of the downwind is thus not completely aligned with the downwind's overall vector. In fact, that component may be nearly zero if the angle is extreme, BUT IT IS STILL POSITIVE FORCE AVAILABLE FOR USE BY THE SAIL. That pushing component of the wind transfers to the sail. The sail then transfers that push to the boat through its own force vector. However, just like the wind, the sail then has a pushing component that aligns with the boats forward direction and part of it aligns with a cross-course direction. The direction of the sail force component that is pushing the boat forward can be anything less than 90 degrees from the overall force vector direction from the sail, which itself can be anything less than 90 degrees from the overall force vector direction from the wind. Thus, the boat can move in ANY direction less than 180 degrees from the wind (assuming enough energy is captured to overcome resistance losses)! Of course, since the boat is only using a component (part) of the sail's pushing force which is itself only a component (part) of the wind's pushing force, the boat is going to capture less POWER from the wind than a boat moving downwind. However, a boat going downwind may have more power and approach the windspeed in shorter time, the downwind sailboat that reaches downwind speed will have ZERO more power available to accelerate. It cannot exceed downwind speed. Meanwhile, the tacking sailboat will capture much less power from the wind and it will accelerate more slowly. However, it will also but continue to accelerate until it is going FASTER than the windspeed (assuming the ocean waves don't slow it down too much). It is a trade-off of speed vs power, as counterintuitive as that sounds.

That was a horror show for the world, especially the civilians. The GOP base has NEVER apologized for their enthusiasm for cheering on costly lies. It continues today, despite the loss of lives in the Iraq War of Lies. Now the GOP base rewards Fox for lying to them about the 2020 election. Some in the GOP even talk of civil war.

  1695. Steely Dan drove people to get away from "white music". Any "joy" in this music that is commensurate with the complexity is not going to be sensed by most people, nor will it ever. IMO, most rap is typically so simple it allows the most unaware listener to feel like they are as expressive as the performer (and probably more creative). Look at the music education of most rappers who hit it big. It is negligible. They don't even have large VERBAL vocabularies, let alone musical. (How ironic for a word-based music form.) Still, this is a real allure of rap (the Trumpularity of music), while SD is at the other end of the spectrum (the wonks of music, flowering with the greatest of technique and style, flying over the heads of people who have no chance of keeping up with the flood of technical creativity).

  1712. For literal decades, I would ask people how many studies proved that statins reduced the risk of heart attack or stroke in people who had not had either. Nobody, even the people taking statins, seemed to know there was NO peer-reviewed research showing this. Everybody seemed to love going on about reducing cholesterol and how these drugs helped. Sorry, but high cholesterol is not a disease or injury. Heart attacks and strokes are. And not one study existed to prove statins did anything for people who had never had a heart attack or stroke. Oh, but Big Pharma didn't care. Btw, I worked for marketing in Big Pharma. Their drugs, including their statins, paid for my work. It's not like I don't know what I am talking about when it comes to why doctors/"HCPs"/marketing campaign *targets* were prescribing. They were both incentivized to prescribe and eventually Big Pharma helped encourage among cardiologists and others the idea that you wouldn't want to be the doc who did NOT prescribe a statin and then your patient suffered for it. It was corruption and feared-based persuasion that created the massive statins market and those things keep the market going today. Some people might benefit from statins, but the research never matched the hype.

  1719. Your bamboo idea is actually a deception to most people. It requires the bamboo to SPREAD. The tree only needs to be one tree! Your comparison is thus highly specific to artificially limited situations where someone is ridiculously limited to planting one tree or they can plant bamboo that spreads out over a large area. I agree bamboo grows quickly. That is really not going to matter. The CO2-induced warming is going to keep going for centuries unless hyper-radical methods are invented and employed to reduce it. Finally, bamboo is extremely invasive and deprives wildlife of life-sustaining ecosystem! Walk into a bamboo patch and look at how few things are living there. It is like a perfectly kept lawn. Almost nothing exists there but the bamboo. It is a life-form diversity desert. I hope people don't want a boring world like the one you propose. [edit: I saw your response to someone else. Here is my response to that.] Yes, btw, adding vegetation to an area can typically help to cool it. The vegetation provides evaporative cooling. If the vegetation is tall enough, it can provide shade. Also, if the vegetation is massive enough (like a forest), it adds "thermal inertia" (increased heat capacity) and may slightly reduce temperature variation. This last part, though, is not as important as the first two things. So, yes, for quick solution in a city, bamboo can help. However, outside of its native areas it is a robustly invasive species. And it eliminates the diversity of wildlife.

Seriously, it is tragic how the populace of any nuclear power often collectively is more interested in seeking to fighting for a cause than it is interested in ensuring the cause is just.

  1755. One should not gamble with costs one cannot afford to pay. If you can't afford to lose your health or your home, don't risk it. Consider that scientific studies have proven that humans make terribly poor judgments when it comes to accepting a low risk of a disastrous event. Using Expectancy Value Theorem would show a decision to get foam is a bad one, but people choose the foam because they think a low risk means they have controlled the risk. They have not - the risk is the risk, period - full stop. The cost of the risk is not worth from a pure analysis standpoint. Arguing its the peoples right to make a choice is like arguing that playing Russian roulette is a good choice if you really enjoy the "game". The reality is that high odds in your favor do not necessarily make a gamble a worthy choice. *The cost of failure must be considered independently of the reward of success**. If your foam installation has only a in 1/30 chance of affecting your health and ruining your homes livability, then for a $300,000 home, the choice to install foam is basically a decision that will average you a $10,000 cost *AND 1/30 of the remaining healthy years of your life! Those are awful costs for a "cost-saving" choice! If your home is worth $900,000, the effective dollar cost goes up to $30,000, plus you are still forfeiting 1/30 of your healthy years of your life! Think about that! That is just for the excellent odds of 1/30. With a low-cost contractor, that chance might increase to 1/5 or more!

  1765. For a moment, I felt like the 3-axis Euler's Formula video was helping me to make sense of imaginary numbers. That was a transitory feeling. For me, the spiral in the video shows a CORRELATION, but it does reveal the "nature" of the equation's behavior. IIRC, my earlier eduation on the topic almost 40 years ago was done using infinite series. That showed the exponent series with an imaginary number was the same as the combined series of i*sin and cos or something like that. That was not satisfying for me. either. I feel like Derek's "instruction" is a curse. Divorce your conceptualization from reality and you get the answers describing reality. Yea, well I want things the other way around as well. I want REALITY to DESCRIBE THE ANSWERS. On my deathbed, if there are loved ones around, they hear my last words to be, "Damn you, imaginary numbers! I will see you in hell!" Then they will probably push past the edge with some morphine to put me out of my apparent emotional suffering. You wait, the irony will come full circle as my IMAGINARY future becomes REALITY. Aaaargh!

  1770. I have not heard one explanation that I consider wise as to why the US would EMPHASIZE to Putin that the US will NOT risk engaging its forces in combat due to the risk of nuclear war. Guess what folks. If NATO is attacked, there WILL be a risk of nuclear war. If you have already ABSOLUTELY assured Putin you will not risk nuclear war, then Putin is in your head. He knows it is nuclear war your fear, not just some treaty technicalities. Putin is free to erode the West. He is funding and supporting far-right parties and the GOP in the US. He WILL bring down democracies. You watch and cry. Putin will succeed. When the GOP "centrists" will always avoid conflict with the far-right and when the US will always ensure zero risk of nuclear war with Putin, then in the US and abroad democracy has no effective support EXCEPT in Ukraine! US citizens in the GOP and many in the left are cowards. They are afraid of criticisms from their own political pals and afraid of not being seen as ideological conformists. The US is collectively afraid of sacrifice. In the end, all the phony cheerleading of Ukraine and detaining of yachts (not even taking possession of them) amounts to NOTHING in Ukraine. The cowards in the US and the West get what they deserve - the ongoing rise of autocracy.

On the other hand, if police allowed BLM protesters to do what they want and removed barricades instead of murdering black people, you would see a transition to more peaceful protest.

Good professional warriors should be admired for their restraint and sacrifice, not for how many people fear them. Today, in Ukraine, people fear "badass" Chechens who get high, rape women, and then murder them and their families. Some of those Chechens have "cool" things, to, if by "cool" you mean they have accessories (like the Janissaries) that help them stand out in their violence.

  1782. Oddly, I saw the bald orc claim his Wagnerites had captured 53,000 m^2 at the cost of 140 lives or so. That's 378 m^2, or about 20 m x 20 m per Wagnerite killed. That does not even include the wounded. Wow! "Soldier, go take that 20m x 20m patch of smashed concrete and dirt. I need a win today!" Sad.

  1786. "Wider" outerwear has an issue that must be considered. It brings excessive fabric into the armpits and groin and squeezes out more air than thinner fabric every time the arms or legs are moved. This can be a problem if you are trying to keep warm air under the fabric, rather than constantly fluffing it back out into the environment after warming it in your hottest body locations.

  1791. The size of their talons is not just impressive, but you should remember that for any given size gripping appendage, nature gives beasts much more strength than humans. For example, a chimpanzee and a human can have similar size wrists and arms, but the chimp could rip apart a human.

  1792. Plenty of people can work and not accomplish their job. For example, the GOP will often intentionally underfund agencies and departments and expect them to reach unreachable goals given the budget. The GOP has often done this with the claim that such failures mean the agencies work should be outsourced to the private sector. Then the lowest bidder gets the job, cuts corners, skims off operational budgets, and the taxpayer has to pay more per service, not less. And it all starts with the government asking people to do more than the budget supports. So, YES, this can happen and does. It happens in the private sector every day as well. Your job ends up including your "stretch goals", "personal development plan", and "putting out fires", all on over time without extra pay. Sometimes it even involves pushing people to failure and acting like such a thing was good management while blaming the employees for being failures. If you had accumulated experience in life, you would know that.

  1799.  @bovineknievel410  - 1. Wrong. PITing from the right sends the rear of the perp to their left, but the perp then swerves to the right. If the pursuer does it right, they decelerate more rapidly while the perp swerves to the right in front of the police car. 2. The real world is not a video game. You don't know how the perp will react. What you DO you know is that two cars hurtling along at high speeds will potentially become deadly missiles after the PIT is executed. The cop doesn't know what the perp will do or how the car will handle. The risk is substantial. Tens of people have been killed by PIT maneuvers. They are not supposed to be done for excitement. They are supposed to help catch very dangerous people when no better option exists, including letting the perp keep driving and maybe even breaking off pursuit.

  1800.  @feeltis  - The officer could not predict how the perp would react to the impending PIT, so PITing was reckless. You can't control a PIT outcome, maybe you can control your own car. The dynamics are too non-linear for reliable outcome prediction, especially since human inputs are involved from both the cop AND THE PERP. Also, at really high speeds next to a centerline divider and with guardrails on the other side, you are nearly 100% guaranteed to have some kind of impacts involved after the PIT. At those speeds, impacts are very dangerous to any near the perp or cop.

  1804.  @ed9374  - There are many factors affecting climate. Simpleton approaches like yours don't come close to explaining most climate change. In fact, the BIGGEST driver in climate change across the history of planet Earth HAS BEEN THE CO2 LEVELS. Go to the Hadean. The Archean. The Cambrian. The Holocene. Any time. The biggest factor by far is the atmospheric content.
