I think you are confused. The quotas (which are EU-wide) are there to protect farmers. By limiting the production there is no surplus (there used to be extraordinary surpluses) and therefore the price…

I'd need to see concrete numbers showing the reason behind those 30-40% unemployed was immigration, rather than other reasons. When an immigrant moves into a country he contributes plenty to the …

I have. The effect is very small for most purposes. It's largely fabricated right wing propaganda. From Oxford University: http://www.migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/…

r/Hillary is a run of the mill biased sub-reddit. T_D is biased and lunatic in a way that will have sociologists publishing papers for years to come.

That's pretty cool, I've been looking for something like this.

Yes they were. http://www.gastrojournal.org/article/S0016-5085(13)00702-6/a... Funding comes partly from George Weston Foods, perhaps Australia's largest bakery. This …

That, and bad science. Especially in medicine where studies with N=7 white college students are somehow considered acceptable.

I guess it's the way I understood it. "Drops frames occasionally when there are a lot of elements moving on the screen" vs "plays poorly". Disappointing, sure, but hardly a de…

I was not aware of that. Which is strange since I read more than 10 reviews, surely they would have noticed? is this your experience? All I heard was that it runs smoother than in the Wii-U even thoug…

I don't understand the negativity based on technical performance. The thing is supposed to be fun to play, not bring you closer to the limits of what modern technology can achieve. Nintendo has s…

That's irrelevant. Whatever rumors or gossip you may have heard about Koch. What you think scientists should be working on. Particularly misplaced is your baffling comparison with Kaku. Koch, a l…

Japan is a particularly bad example: Truman and congress wanted to destroy Japan, make an example out of it. Destroy all of their industry and infrastructure. Except general MacArthur, the de facto …

> The current governments of Iraq and Afghanistan are reasonably democratically elected. Not by any means. The US vetoed all candidates they didn't like. That's as un-democratic as it ge…

There will be a very fast turning point when people find a way to put large numbers of qubits together

The entirety of physics is a bunch of models that match reality to various degrees, and which are able to predict things.

Where did you get that this was a simulation? The were analyzing telescope data.

AFAIK the resistance is truly 0. However, there is a critical magnetic field, which if exceeded will destroy the superconducting state. Therefore a current large enough to generate this field will als…

Most people probably ran out of time when drawing the carrier

I drew an amorphous square and it correctly guessed it was meant to be a "police car". It has the potential to be fun.

Irrelevant. There's no link between population decline and startup culture. There are still millions of young people growing up over there. There are multiple reasons not to go to the US, with la…

But those hopes are not very much based on reality so why entertain them in the first place? It's a bit like saying that QC will be awesome because thanks to it people could in theory find the cu…

'Japanese weird' is nothing but confirmation bias. Because you only hear about the outliers, stories strange enough to make their way all through the ocean. There are myriads of ultra-bizarr…

It's everywhere - in the US. Natural yogurt should be relatively easy to find. Add some real fruit if it's too dull for you (after a while it's not). Basically try not to eat processed …

Smarter than average, for sure. But people tend to over estimate the intelligence of the average PhD.

London is packed with street food, but other than that there's less by orders of magnitude than Asia or Latin America. (I'd love to be wrong on this one).

epsilon is the gap, so either way it should be on opposite side of the log(r). Smaller gap, stronger shielding but smaller radius weaker shielding. Am I going nuts?

So, intuitively speaking, why does the field decreases with increasing wire radius? I also don't understand the factor epsilon*log(r). Doesn't that contradict the above statement? (smaller r…

What I meant with saturation is the state when no more minerals can be absorbed.

How could that be the case? Tap water is nowhere close to mineral saturation. It should make an astronomically small difference. If anything, it could be less corrosive due to the higher resistance. I…
