I think they’re only including mainstream models.

Sure, and I would prevail in a fistfight against Saitama.
It’s to fight the honkai when they start appearing in our universe. (Jokes aside, a company that needs to run a lot of servers would be interested in cheap energy.)
The organisers should just cut their power supply. Or disqualify the team for trying to gain an unfair advantage.
Nuclear proliferation is always bad news.
It’s a gamble. Knowing other countries can kill you personally would dissuade leaders from starting wars. Assuming no one makes a mistake, of course.
Oh definitely. I was just hoping they’d spend those billions on busses, metros and, yes, HSR, instead of on EVs. Still, they’re ahead of most countries as it is.
Investment in public transport would have been better, but it’s not nothing. Hope other countries follow suit.
I can think of four possible reasons:-
It works on my system - We are shaped by our experiences. To someone who had their life turned around by a religious order (or a religious individual), it would make sense to follow their teachings.
Opium of the masses - Life is filled with suffering. It is nice to imagine that there is someone looking out for you. An afterlife free of suffering is even better.
Just following orders - If you want to do something, but don’t think your community will support you, it is easier if you say ‘god told me to do it’. It might also make it easier to justify the action to yourself.
Church of England - You don’t care much either way, but it’s too much of a hassle to leave. Plus meeting your friends and neighbours every week is fun.
At least you don’t expect them to undergo two training arcs, beat a kaiju in single combat and h*ld h*nds with their crush to graduate.
If all scientific knowledge were to suddenly disappear and we were to start from square one, it would all reappear exactly like it is.
Three competing theories of evolution arose, independently, in our world - one from British and European scientists studying the tropics, another from Russian and US scientists studying Siberia and northern North America, and a third by a Japanese scientist studying statistics and genetics. While the current consensus in evolutionary biology is that all three are true (at different timescales), the vast majority of people (and even other scientists) only know the first. This is partly because Darwin got there first, and partly because a lot of powerful people benefit from spreading social Darwinist woo.
Ironically, in a post-apocalyptic world, the powers that be would probably support the symbiotic theory, with Darwinism frowned upon as selfish individualism.
however the process of science will ensure that the truth comes to light eventually.
As Keynes said, in the long term we are all dead. Science is probably the best tool we currently have to find the truth (assuming there is a truth), but it is always important to remember that it is produced by humans, funded by interests and (mostly, though this is changing) published by for-profit journals. When reading a paper, always read the conflict of interest and funding details, and hope the authors are being honest.
The majority of the antibiotics we produce are given to animals in factory farms, at doses so high they shit out the bulk of it. This contaminates the soil, streams and lakes with antibiotics, resulting in resistant bacteria. The best part? Antibiotics are sometimes given to healthy animals to fatten them up. (This last bit is illegal in the EU and now China also.)
What a shitty article. Open access articles - particularly combined with open data and transparent data analysis pipelines - are the gold standard. Does the author not know the difference between an open access journal and a predatory journal, or is this some hit piece by Elsevier et al?
Congrats to them!
Even though they’re big into tech, it comes across to me that the government and general population is still stuck in the mid 90’s regarding devices (pc’s etc, smartphones excluded).
India is big in software. Hardware has to be imported from China / Korea / Taiwan, and we have to pay them what they demand.
On paper, India has a lot of protections for transgender people (including reservations in many government jobs). Enforcement is another question.
I still feel nervous about a regional nuclear war* between you and Pakistan or a land war with China, particularly as the region dries out.
Neither will happen. Both our politicians and Pakistani generals love sabre-rattling. Both also love their wealth and status too much to do anything stupid. And while China can really hurt us in a potential war, they can do at least as much damage by stopping exports to us.
More like an apples to windows comparison.
But Taiwan to Polynesia is upcurrent, while South America to Polynesia is downcurrent. How would you go thousands of kilometers against the current without modern technology?
Older Redmis allow bootloader unlocking from Developer Options. Then some seller installed malware this way so newer models require you to register as a user.
It’s actually the other way around, with viral infections being one of many causes of autoimmune diseases.
