The study and the summary do not "assume" that the cause was inbreeding. They both assert that inbreeding could be a cause. The article says "The team suspects these deformities an…

Yes-ish. There's a lot of different and overlapping programs in play here. I do not believe that autonomous F-16s are intended to be operational assets. That said... VENOM - progra…

Well, for caffeine you might... at least in the short term. But to be more specific: * Protein supplements make it easier for your body to get the protein required for whatever dem…

Uh, dunno if I'd say that BW is dominated by "the young". Top 4 at the latest ASL are all born before 1995 - they're all millennials. None of them are from the first generation of …

I don't think Bret (the author of ACOUP) omits drought - he leads his section on plausible theories with "period of drying and consistent crop failures". While Bret dismisses the o…

Unclear how China will react to orbital/near-orbital launches that track near/over China in a hot war situation. If I were China, I'd probably be backdoor signalling that they woul…

The paper is an analysis performed on a larger dataset. No one created or ran a 15 year study on egg consumption. Someone ran a 15 year study that included dietary survey questions…

This map which combines population density and time zones makes some of the decisions more clear I think - https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/7vvlgz/contiguous_... The reali…

I think it's very fair to say that the mechanics of science is about creating and selecting ever more predictive models that explain observations. So that's the how and what. But w…

JWST has 4 different instruments on it. While they all share the same focusing mirrors, but otherwise are 4 different measurement devices. For the red dot observations, I believe t…

From a rational standpoint, I don't understand how investors could feel betrayed by a pivot that involves creating two ovens to eventually allow the founder to capture 10% of the m…

I like this part: The founder gets angry. He promised the VCs 10% of Spain’s oven market. The entire market. “We can’t sacrifice any of them.” It’s not just greed. The 5 million wa…

OP is talking about Canada's supply management system in place in some areas (including eggs). Supply management is a government system that basically puts all large scale producti…

Didn't find the full study, but what I'm pretty sure is a preprint is here: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.05.05.25326994v... One thing to note and I guess might be a…

That's not what the article, or the paper backing it claims. The paper ( https://circulareconomyjournal.org/ojs/JoCE/article/view/250 ) is about quantifying the environmental impac…

In case you missed it, that was a joke. There is infact an Army Corps of Engineers that is responsible for exactly what the comment suggested (amongst a lot of other things). The A…

Can you clarify? Do you mean that superconducting qubits are unable to perform the "real applications" theoretically, or that superconducting qubits at the scale this foundry could…

A libertarian society doesn't coddle you, but it still accepts that the state has monopoly of force, and it accepts that the state needs to be fair and predictable. I think the aut…

From https://web.mit.edu/16.unified/www/FALL/thermodynamics/notes... All other things equal, range varies proportionately with efficiency. Ie, if you have 500km range at 50% overal…

This might be interesting: https://www.nationalacademies.org/read/23490/chapter/6 Thermodynamic efficiency (which is what turbine blades enable) has increased from ~30 to 55% over …

This is a phys.org "article". They're usually just rehashed press releases, and this one is particularly bad - it's literally just the NASA press release with the last 2 paragraphs…

Uhhh... editor/author/LLM was asleep here. There are 4 sentinel-1 sats in orbit, but one of them has been decommissioned because of system failure... as the article itself states.

There is a generalized military response in place (CTF-151 via UN). The insurance based scheme tends to work because it's basically dealing with "leakers". UNCLOS permits any count…
