I 100% agree they should be flipped. Also, Don Draper was lying when he said that, so it’s like doubly apt. Canada feels bad for the US but also is living in their shadow. The USA does think of Canada and has an irrational need to put us down.

The violence is shocking and unacceptable. It’s totally possible islamophobia caused the situation to escalate to violence so dramatically. I hope it gets considered at trial.

It’s times like these you lose your appetite. It’s times like these you and the baker fight.

Interesting video, thanks for tabulating the data

I’m surprised he is measuring with the fan so close to the ground, with the electronics obstructing the fan downwash, with the anemometer so close to the fan, with the anemometer so close to the edge of the fan, and with the anemometer so irrepeatably placed…

I don’t think he has accurately measured the efficiency of the induction motor (no load -> stock blades @ 1 m/s is a power change of 10.5 induction and 19.3 for bldc). He is pretty casual in his dismissal of the cost premium of bldc motors too.

Facebook sucks and has for quite some time.

In Canada we passed a regulation that social media sites have to pay our media companies to link to their articles. Google is paying up, but Facebook said no, and has banned news. It has made Facebook here much less terrible.

The ‘her’ is the author, the ‘they’ is the activist.

The comment was in relation to the size of the settlement, and the author’s satisfaction with the judgement.

CSE did not say how many Canadians were impacted

Was it all of us, or 5 of us?

I really like that the 3d preview has a scale!

I think the establishment is actually quite sensitive to unemployment figures because people that are unemployed have time to demonstrate.

Ithink you could be more charitable in your reply. Transistors were developed to replace tubes in telephone systems… Okay but the tubes had been developed to where they were because of their usefulness in radio.

And while computers don’t inherently rely on radio, it’s radio communication that’s taken computers from one in every office to one in everyone’s pocket. Right? The main thrust of the previous commenter is true.

Just like how the law equally prevents the rich and the poor from sleeping under bridges.

I think the irreducible complexity debate is over. Creationist scientists will continue to publish “but maybe” arguments because defending creationism is part of their identity, but its just a “but maybe this gap in human knowledge proves XYZ”. They are starting with a conclusion and looking for arguments that it isn’t impossible.

In the video where he’s shooting antique guns (or something) with his son, his son always calls him “sir”. Is that a regional thing? It seemed super weird to me.

I’m a different person weighing in here:

When you said:

The T3SS is one of the most complex bacterial molecular machines, incorporating one to over a hundred copies of more than 15 different proteins into a multi-MDa transmembrane complex (Table 1). The system, especially the flagellum, has, therefore often been quoted as an example for “irreducible complexity,” based on the argument that the evolution of such a complex system with no beneficial intermediates would be exceedingly unlikely. However, it is now clear that, far from having evolved as independent entities, many secretion systems share components between each other and with other cellular machineries (Egelman, 2010; Pallen and Gophna, 2007).

I ofc am just a layman reading this, I agree it seems better understood that how I interpreted what he was saying, but it also doesn’t seem nearly as well understood as you’re saying.

IMO it’s a problem with the article. The article says that T3SS is cited as an example as something that’s “irreducibly complex”. I suppose that it’s true that it is cited as that. But the second part of the paragraph explains why it isn’t true that it’s “irreducibly complex”. The paragraph isn’t explicit enough because the paragraph has probably evolved to be something that’s true and equally dissatisfying to both sides.

The printer I had in the 90s wouldn’t print black and white without color ink either.

I remember learning about the denial of the denial of the anti Muslim comments years ago. It’s offensive that America would send this troglodyte to us.

So if I’m in Vancouver BC it would go from Friday to Saturday in the mid afternoon? Is Friday night the first night of the weekend or the last night of the work week?
