This is likely a pretty big win for China/Russia if he follows through with it - USA has advanced nuclear weapon simulation capabilities which almost certainly outstrip theirs, so has a reduced need to conduct non sub-critical tests.

For the last one, why does the "born on a Tuesday" information change the result? I don't see how it isn't equivalent to "born on a day", since the day of the week has no connection to the rest of the scenario.

Quite. Sites that have resources and influence will be fine - they can either comply with the rules or will be given soft exemptions. It's small and new communities that will suffer.

Indeed. The goal of the British legal system is to appear serious. Justice is an occasional byproduct.

Current energy sources are ~all either from solar radiation (indirectly for fossil fuels) or nuclear fission. Tidal energy is cool because it is to a rough approximation from neither of them!

I can't work out what the best ratio of soldiers/workers in. It seems that for the first 30 seconds or so you need almost all soldiers to expand fast, but after that? There's a lot of luck involved too, sometimes you'll

It loses it at some key points to aid visual clarity (and I guess cut the CGI costs), like Minas Tirith being on a featureless plain rather than surrounded by farmland.

Fakes are better than mocks if only for the 100x superior debugging experience.

The energy produced from burning it would come from somewhere else, which on average won't be 0 CO2 either.

Yeah, this seems fine to me. I believe my general waste is also incinerated though so I wish they'd encourage adding the soft plastics to that to simplify recycling - it might lead to more hard plastics being recycled!

If you don't provide lunches for the children then their parents need to pay for them anyway. Just tax more if you don't already have a budget, this isn't a case where there would be radically different spending patterns with

Which maintenance tasks, why does it require us to be unconscious, why can't we apply constant energy towards them? Lots of interesting questions to answer

Lots of countries don't wash their commercially grown eggs (and have a much lower % from factory farms), which greatly improves shelf life in shops etc.

For example subtitles are terrible on most major streaming services, either don't exist, or are only available in one language. Sometimes they don't even have the original audio track, only a dubbed one! Piracy ensures that multi-

Would be interesting to see comparisons between this and very old historical maps, I bet some are not far off.

I think this is a much clearer expression of the claim than the commonly given one.

Folding is clearly a form of information transfer though (and proteins are deeply involved in folding other proteins, even outside of the prion case). As stated in the screenshot it is fine "information here means the sequence of amino

There's a good comment on the blog: "This seems to me a rather feckless argument over how people want to define a term. Indisputably, modern English results from a blend of French and old English, in the process of which what we t

I think you are meant to commit to using the value of the beacon at a future point in time, e.g. when you're preregistering your trial methodology.

> based on some data The important thing is that it isn't based on the data you are attempting to analyse. It's fine to use subject matter expertise beforehand to decide on what is appropriate to include or not in your analysis

Courts have had little hesitation to decide these matters themselves for a long time - check out "Bite Mark Analysis" or any number of trials involving medical evidence. While I do think that they need to consider scientific matte

The way the courts handled expert witness testimony from software developers, and also the way they are now criticising it, is some through the looking glass shit. Just completely clear that they have zero context or ability to evaluate rel

Sure, but what exactly was the criminal activity? Is the claim that she (or her close associates) engaged in it herself, or that she was acting purely as a launderer for others?

The accusations are all about money laundering, but is there any information about where the money/bitcoin actually came from?
