I'd say if you put it on a indoor table, a measly cubic centimetre of sand can make a (small) pile, and a random estimate on the internet states that there are 8000 grains of sand in a cubic centimetre. So n = 8000 makes a sand pile.

That's a novel claim, usually security experts are always complaining that people just click "accept" and ignore all the warnings of broken crypto and all that. How foolish they will feel when they realize that all that was m

If EU citizens go to the Chinese to give up their rights they are probably giving their consent, but good luck providing any sort of service to EU citizens without actually having a legal presence inside the union.

It's not really mistakes that is the issue though, its more the fact that they got reeeeelly close to outright fabrication. They had a very shaky estimate of an important background (the foreground) and instead of being cautious they p

Go read Hossenfelder's review instead, its a better teardown. The fourth paragraph is: > “Losing the Nobel Prize” is well written and engaging and has a lot of figures and, ah, here I run out of nice things to say. But we all know y

I don't know how to estimate their reckless from the outside, but it is simple fact that however sensitive, they only had one waveband and so no real way of estimating the foreground contamination. I think it is also well established t

Here, this should explain it in a bit more detail: https://physics.aps.org/articles/v11/34 It's written by someone more interested in conveying truth than hyping a null result, so it even mentions a woman was

There is probably intelligent conscious life out there in the universe, and considering the mass extinction we are setting up right now it might be best to leave it alone. So keep consuming, burn that coal and save the aliens (from us)!

No parent comment criticizing unions does it without the implication that they shouldn't exist. This is most easily seen by the total absence of any mention of a specific union, thus direction the objections towards the concept itself

Workers aren't eager to fight for their rights at all right now, most unions in Sweden struggle just to maintain membership numbers. That is the most exceptional thing about the trial: that it happened at all in a climate where collect
