Didn't your mother warn you about simple solutions to complicated problems?
who few outside the far left liked
You mean the center-right candidate Hillary?
They didn't want Trump as president...
You mean a guy that actual launders money for Putin and his oligarchs? A man who sold his name for "look I'm rich"-money and is now just a figure-head for Saudi and Russian investors.
Since it's just a combination of two known elementary particles (quarks), it's not that big of a deal.
Yeah, because having your decades old prediction being verified is just so much hype!
We should be celebrating, instead we just want instant gratification and nothing else.
4 words: Berkeley Earth Surface Report. Touted as a totally independent look into climate change and AGW. Funded by the Koch brothers; looking at independent data sets; using raw data and so on; WUWT talked about how this is the definitive study to prove AGW or not.
Guess what: Same conclusion as all the other climate scientists.
WUWT also deleted any mention of this report. This is precisely what the deniers asked for but because the conclusion didn't match their expectations they just ignored the report. Do you think this makes deniers look like good scientists or just partisan hacks who don't believe in AGW because they just don't want to?
In 2013, the state House passed a bill that requires voters to show a photo ID issued by North Carolina, a passport, or a military identification card to begin in 2016. Out-of-state drivers licenses were to be accepted only if the voter registered within 90 days of the election, and university photo identification was not acceptable.[59] In July 2016, a three-judge panel of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a trial court decision in a number of consolidated actions and struck down the law's photo ID requirement, finding that the new voting provisions targeted African Americans "with almost surgical precision," and that the legislators had acted with clear "discriminatory intent" in enacting strict election rules, shaping the rules based on data they received about African-American registration and voting patterns.[60][61] On May 15, 2017, the law officially died when the US Supreme Court rejected efforts to review the Appeals Court ruling.[62].
Muslims are responsible for many terrorist acts in the real world. If Muslims don't want to be profiled, they need to force an end to the bad behavior of the misbehaving Muslims.
Men are responsible for many terrorist acts in the real world. If men don't want to be profiled, they need to force an end to the bad behavior of the misbehaving men.
Science is about the testable. Math (and logic) is about the provable. Philosophy is about the more fundamental questions.
But a lot of theoretical physics straddles between your definition of science and maths. Not just String Theory but most of the Standard Model and General Relativity. Einstein wasn't trying to create a testable theory when he wanted to see what SR would say about gravity. He was simply trying to find a mathematically consistent framework that would deal with accelerating bodies and not violate SR. He didn't say, "Well I will work on this because it's testable". He just worked on the framework and its conclusions, after the fact, could be tested - lucky for Einstein. Of course, if it wasn't testable we might never know who Einstein was - so we're lucky both ways, I guess.
Old programmers never die, they just hit account block limit.
