I did a word search on "home", it provides plenty of context. (And then there's the historical context, the book came out in 1949.) From the book, e.g. p.814: An important and selfrighteous woman recently carried out a study on women workers at a Renault factory: she asserts that they would...

The holidays probably impact data gathering, but it looks like winter is coming.

What we have in the yard is raindrops, so a possibility is a light beam of some kind sweeping the yard and illuminating just that "shape" of raindrops. If I wanted to hoax it, I'd use a beamer (LCD projector or similar) to project the white image of a walking person. But it could be some other...

Now the angry old men say it was better back when We used to keep the aspidistra flying Now it may be the case that we can't change our fate But there's surely no harm in trying? But ten mysterious photos that can't be explained Are draining away the best of my day And fragments of songs that I...

The last time I saw something like this, I believe it involved analog video tape that was recorded over, and the "ghost" was a real person that was recorded on the tape before. So the question would be, did that camera record to tape?

Found something, thank you! SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern and variants under investigation in England: technical briefing 33, via https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/investigation-of-sars-cov-2-variants-technical-briefings SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern and variants under investigation...

The impacts were 17 minutes apart, so it definitely did not happen like this. But Santa has to be real. Kids all over the world receive presents on the same day, if they are being lied to, this would be a huge conspiracy as people all around the world would have to coordinate to secretly...

2020 knowledge is that deaths trail cases by a few weeks. And hospitalisations trail by about a week, they are on the upswing. Note also that age demographics and vaccination rates play a part in how severe infections are. Is there evidence that omicron is less harmful in countries that are...

could you please quote it? How exactly do you think Stanley deviates fron the meaning that Hitler intended?

my point is that it's a belief that does not stem from evidence, but from the absence of evidence consider a stage magic show: visitors do not see any supports, so the lady must be floating. But is it true?

It doesn't. It simulates a failure. The bridge doesn't exist in the real world, so it's not actually a prediction. The computer can do the simulation because it has complete information on the state of the simulated bridge. There's also an element of randomness involved, e.g. in one game...

You still haven't played it? I always design the bridge to withstand the forces, but it usually fails in a way I did not predict. As the WTC tower breaks apart, there are unknown parts of the building still attached to the truss, subjected to unknown forces not designed for, some of which...

Yes, I'm saying Google mistranslates this sentence from "Mein Kampf", and that the translation given by Jason Stanley is acceptable. I'm a native German speaker. Would you like me to give you a lesson on (antiquated) German grammar?

422.000×sin(0,0875⁰)=644 ft Metabunk curve calculator has the difference between geometric and refracted drop as 4268-3658=610 ft at 7/6r. I'd say 7/6r works out well enough, and is easy to implement in the model.

Mick just posted that the effect size is ~1/4 of the screen height.

Australian growth is exponential on the ourworldindata.org chart; and the logarithmic chart shows it's multiplying faster than it is in the UK or the US, so without countermeasures, Australia is going to overtake them. The time to stop this growth is now.

I felt that the viewing angle of -2⁰ is close enough to horizontal for this to be similar (i.e. not "looking down"). The optical density gradient results from the adiabatic temperature/pressure curve, so refraction is going to be present in some form, only its strength may depend on altitude?

Confirmation bias Science: Hypothesis: aliens came and abducted the woman Experiment: set up IR camera, record aliens if any Outcome: no aliens recorded Conclusion: aliens not involved Pseudoscience: Belief: aliens came and abducted the woman Experiment: set up IR camera, record aliens if any...

page 473 Auch in der Wissenschaft hat der völkische Staat ein Hilfsmittel zu erblicken zur Förderung des Nationalstolzes.

I don't know about "Mein Kampf", but this was in fact the stance of the German Nazis. Die entsprechende Anweisung an die Wissenschaft lautete 1933 mit den Worten des damaligen bayerischen Kultusministers vor den Münchener Professoren: „Von jetzt ab kommt es für Sie nicht darauf an festzustellen...
