If viruses usually aren't considered alive, why would obelisk? I'm also curious how we know these are independent structures versus a by product of our own or our resident bacteria's cellular function. The mRNA seems unrelate

I don't understand what you're saying. Who's hiding the sun through transparent glass?

Having the government do anti -DEI purity tests for research is the exact opposite or reducing bureaucracy.

The analogy breaks down in that rate of infection of a disease is historical but very much informs ongoing public health measures that should be taken.

Seems like publicity is the point. Getting headlines is a lot more likely to change something then just skipping the tournament.

I don't see how you could say that's more likely without evidence, lack significant gaps in archaelogical finds between eras of human presence in a region.

You think the study of archeology, anthropology, genetics, and ecology across the entire Western academic system is being subverted to support DEI using a theory that existed long before the time "DEI" was a known acronym? And yo

Out of Africa was fought by the majority of Western scientists during the early 20th century because of their pro-European biases. The reason its accepted is because the preponderance of evidence supports it.

I don't think a group of people living somewhere for thousands of years would be "getting it wrong." You're embedding an assumption that evolution has been working toward an end goal of getting humans to spread globally

Just look at likelihood you are going to die each mile traveled. Using that method, passenger planes are 750 times safer than cars.

Yes, that's true, thanks.

"Pressure" as a concept doesn't apply to black holes. They are the size they are because of their mass. The bigger the mass, the larger area where their gravity is so great light can't escape. Scientists model black ho

The robber barons are specifically examples of people considered not to be fulfilling their social responsibilities. The idea that business are only responsible to make money is the new concept, not that people were acting only to make mon

The Friedman Doctrine ( what you are espousing, that business are only set up to make money) is a relatively recent social construct, having been first articulated in 1970. Questioning whether or not it should be the basis of how we organi

It's purposeful. It's green washing money - they are able to get good press by doing something pretty minor, like holding a conference. But that money ultimately came from causing far greater environmental harm.

I don't think the purpose of this sort of research is to be immediately applicable, it more shows a direction that could be useful in the future. Shor's algorithm has not been used practically, but it's hard to imagine moder

The stated reasons is patriotism. The real reason is that the military buys a lot of airline tickets and the military member gets to choose from a list of flights from a variety of airlines.

Not just big companies, government travellers too. There's a reason military is allowed to board first.

There have been a ton of attacks originating from Russia against Ukraine and Estonia very publicly. Read Sandworm for a deep dive. Just because some hackers are lazy and use a Cyrillic keyboard as a lazy man's geofencing does not mea

I'm pretty sure Russian hackers target former USSR countries. Estonia and Ukraine come to mind, but I would imagine all of the Baltic states, Georgia, and Moldova would be ok as well.

If your threat model includes the nation state where you physical infrastructure is, you're hosed.

This is such a weird take. The existence of bitcoin mining increases electric demand. There's no inherent reason that without it demand would spike above what it already is without, outside of the price of energy, which it sounds like
