Probably not running, and probably not within our time. World population in 1881 was a couple of billion short of that.

It means that mortality rate doesn't approach 100% around some given age, which would be the hypothetical biological limit. I don't see the issue.

If the statistical significance of your results is algorithm-dependent, shouldn't they be regarded as suspect? Perhaps it might be just a failure of imagination on my part, but I find it odd to think that changing a software package mi

>Popper’s idea that scientific theories must be falsifiable has long been an outdated philosophy. I am glad to hear this, as it’s a philosophy that nobody in science ever could have used . . . since ideas can always be modified or exten

I'd say that lambs are more associated with docility than with peace, and it's a very fair association to anyone who has ever had any contact with sheep. Animal symbolism seems to have much more to do with animal traits, animal be

I'm not sure if 'philosophical' is the right word, but I'm sure there's a haiku in there.

Supposing there's a 1955 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe in the middle of Antartica, which most likely there isn't, it didn't fall there from space. I have no particular stakes on this discussion besides this one, I just dropped by

>According to the National Science Foundation, an average person has about 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts per day. Of those, 80% are negative and 95% are repetitive thoughts. What does any of this even mean? http://blogs.discover

>Copernicans like Thomas Digges, Christoph Rothmann, and Philips Lansbergen, spoke of the giant stars in terms of God’s power, or God’s palace, or the palace of the Angels, or even God’s own warriors. [...] The anti-Copernicans were unp

The overall, just-worrying-factor of this aside, I think it's rather surprising that "someone, somewhere" is putting up CFC-11 in the atmosphere and somehow the only way people got a hold of this was by looking at the ozone

I think the whole point of the paper which the writers at PBS might have glossed over is simply "we can reproduce this outcome with an extremely simple set of hypotheses". That's how I read it, at least, and that's som

It would mean what this particular variable has been operationalized [0] to mean. Once upon a time things such as "heat" were just words, and as words they were used in a variety of different implicit senses in which at the time

What do you mean by an ordinal scale, and what does that imply? I'm completely blind on this usage of the expression.

I too thought of it as being draconian at first but come to think of it, USB drives seem much less important nowadays than they seemed back in 2007. They're still prolific, but they aren't thought of as a boon as they once were. M

At one point one has to ask oneself: what's even the point intaking down a website? I was the work of someone else and not of chance, as were the other cases in which libgen/scihub were inacessible. But really, at this point it pr

I think the variance among grammars is smaller than variance among vocabularies. Just take any two romance languages. Their grammars will be much more similar than their vocabularies are. This, I think, suggests that a large part of the dif

I see. But it seems rather unnecessary, specially given that it's only shown on the article itself. If it were displayed along search results or recent edits, I'd get it. But as it is it doesn't seem to do much.
