Your response to that added little to the discussion. You might have selected the parts of the article that answered those questions, but instead opted to shut down further discussion on a valid question. Which, may or may not be addressed in the sources.
I am not knowledgeable, but it looks like just game theory.
Ideally, I would wish you to publish in open access while I reap the immediate career benefits of publishing in a prestige journal.
Not In My Immediate Territorial Zone
If water sources dry up it won't be necessary to raze the city. People will leave anyway.
People have been writing texts for thousands of years and it's obvious to me that no such word combos exist. If they did, they'd have been discovered and well-known.
So, all that was shown with the walls experiment was that experimental design was flawed. Nothing about whether the person could or could not speak to God on LSD.
I think the manufacturers' real concern has not been cost of compliance, but rather loss of service revenues which business model is arguably customer-hostile.
Furthermore, a super-conducting belt around the Earth would greatly mitigate solar and wind energy's Achilles heel; intermittency.
Renewable power, generated elsewhere, could become accessible in the calm of a windless night. Grid storage? Thanks, no need.
I went out this morning with a couple of dozen Japanese to do a dragon dance (Ryūjin) around the local village. Exactly like this one[1] from 8 years ago.
80% of the dancers were wearing tabi. I figured out why. Upon re-entering the community centre from where festivities are organised, tabi-wearers could just wipe their feet and enter. The rest of us had to hold that dragon while simultaneously removing shoes and stacking them.
Socially, tabi are the only acceptable in-and-out shoes/socks I have seen here.
>> If surface abiogenesis is unlikely, panspermia is more unlikely because it needs the former, plus ...
That depends. Panspermia gets a huge multiplier from distributing the number of planets and eons on which abiogenesis might have happened just once. So it depends on the relative impacts of very different factors - neither of which have been well quantified.
If panspermia had ever been feasible, it was likely more so in the earlier universe. Personally, I prefer it because it seems to follow the Copernican Principle.
To follow scientific method, you should specify what would be meaningful according to your parameters: not merely parroting. If and when that is achieved by LLMs, instead of moving the goalposts, accept that something genuine has happened.
>> We will be flooded with content that will get harder and harder to prove wrong, but it will be wrong.
I mostly agree, especially about quantity. But since you wish to draw a line in the sand, define quality. Or truth.
Packaging includes the label: Do NOT eat.

>> Sir Roy Meadow, who testified that the chance of two children from an affluent family suffering SIDS was 1 in 73 million. He had arrived at this figure by squaring his estimate of a chance of 1 in 8500 of an individual SIDS death in similar circumstances. The Royal Statistical Society later issued a statement arguing that there was no statistical basis for Meadow's claim, and expressed concern at the "misuse of statistics in the courts".[3]
Furthermore, the population of cricketers is not sampled randomly, but by selectors
At some point, one's own choices become moot.
To summarise, you put a telescope beyond the orbit of the moon and use the earth's atmosphere as a lens
Yeah and interestingly, that was roughly Chomsky's breakthrough finding with respect to how humans learn language as children. We are born with an innate language acquisition device.
I would argue countries like USA, Canada, Brazil, Australia are the outliers. Most of the world cannot afford to be as dismissive of land use optimisation as some US Midwestern farmers appear to be.
>> I can't see any good way to harvest a field with solar panels that isn't so inefficiently laid out that it would be better to have two separate fields.
Would there be scope for smaller autonomous machines? Presumably, there should be some crop configurations that could benefit, but we don't yet have all the results of experiments currently running. Here in Japan, farms are typically much smaller, so there's perhaps greater scope for agrivoltaics than in industrial scale farms in USA.
The logic of these arguments is fine. I just noticed a way to nit-pick your implementation of it.
