The beginning of the conclusion of the original study [1] is worth repeating: No one should try to reform or rehabilitate the ranking. It is irredeemable. In Colin Diver’s memorable formulation, “Trying to rank institutions of higher educat

Anyone have a link to the source journal article? I can't find it.

I think it is pretty standard practice to keep cheating confidential (indeed, I think for a lot of universities professors aren't allowed to publicize student names in incidents of cheating). I understand where you're coming from,

While it won't be able to image more sharply on its own, JWST can still help to constrain certain factors in their modeling, thus obtaining better images. See, e.g., https://www.stsci.edu/jwst/phase2-public/22

Yes, but you have more variables than necessary. Why model all the observables independently when you can model the system with one complex wave function? It's the interaction between variables that is key.

> Can you do QM with just the real valued probability distribution? You can't. The key fact is that other observables, such as momentum, depend on the complex part of the wave function.

Interesting, although I struggle to see how this could be. The collapse (from our point of view, at least) of the wave function is pretty necessary in the math of QM. You can only observe the eigenstates of a wavefunction, which is what col

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding some of the philosophical aspects here, but the Copenhagen interpretation seems to just a label for the (now) undisputed basic facts of quantum mechanics, so the "interpretation" part of it seems

I think this is a great idea theoretically, but in reality for most papers I don't want to see the data/underlying code. While it would be great to publish data/code with the paper (in the field I've worked on the most,

An interesting take. You can see the huge gap between infection rates and deaths yourself by just googling "South Africa Coronavirus" and switching between the infection/death plots. That being said, there is definitely a lag

And not just disastrous for James Webb, disastrous for the possibility of future funding of space missions in the near future. Congress would be much more hesitant to fund anything as large as the James Webb in the future if it failed.
