General Relativity predicted that light would be affected by Sun's gravitational field, which was later observed during a solar eclipse, which is a naturally occurring event.
Actually, that experiment has been replicated many times. The sun and moon were both part of the apparatus used to conduct the experiment.
I grant that some fields have difficult time with replication. Consider economics. There are 'natural experiments' that occur because of policy changes. However, replicating them can rarely be done, due to the complexity, and also due to the ethical implications.
However, this is rarely true in psychology. Those experiments can be redone cheaply again and again. The fact that they aren't replicated has more to do with lack of will than anything else.
Someone needs to start a journal of 'reproducible results', that will only publish articles about experiments that have results which have been replicated by three independent teams. To hell with reviewers, they just push their hidden agendas anyway.
This isn't how evolution works. It doesn't work on groups, it works on individuals. So, unless high-T folks got less food than they needed, and thus did not reproduce as often, high-T-ism would not decrease in the population.
If it is true that high testosterone increases one's ability to compete for food and mates (which it does) then it should increase over all, since the high-T guys would reproduce more often.
So, having testosterone levels drop suddenly is a puzzle. There was probably some unrelated mutation that conferred a benefit, like disease resistance, that swept through the population, and that had low-T as a side effect. That would have allowed the small groups to coalesce into larger groups, due to lowered levels of competition.
Hmmm. Here is an article that seems to assert the opposite. It is newer (2012 vs 2009 for your link.)
Here is another article, that suggests that testosterone actually affects dominance, which makes more sense, and supports the original article.
I've been rewatching the original star trek. The monsters in "Operation: Annihilate!" are flying bags of joke vomit
In another episode, the monster in "The Devil in the Dark" was basically a rug with lights in it.
The only reasonable sets I can recall from the period was Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. Talk about lovingly hand crafted sets. 10 years before had such masterpieces as "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (sets a bit wonky, but fun) and "Forbidden Planet". Now those were fun sets. "Gort! Klatu barada nikto!"
Automation and/or skyrocketing inequality will soon bring capitalism as we know it today crashing down. This is just sticking your finger in the dam.
The only way forward that doesn't involve revolution and bloodshed starts with mincome.
I wanna be a rider of the purple wage.
I'm always amazed at how many people that outright reject Rush Limbaugh still listen to his show.
I tried listening to his show in 2003* at one point. After a few minutes, I was literally yelling at my radio. Never again...
* I know it was 2003, because it happened while I was driving to a job I particularly hated, that forced me to drive in during rush hour. I quit in mid 2003, after 4 months.
Go look at existing decay images from Chernobyl, Salton Sea, and Code (California) to see how fast certain environments encroach.
I've heard of bitrot, but Code, California? Some google employee enclave? And you say it is deteriorating?
And perhaps, instead of waking up every day wondering if today is the day the Yellowstone super volcano or a planet killer comet wipes us all out, we should just dance (and code) while the sun shines and not worry so much about the future.
FTFY
Why on Earth did TFA call it 'illegal and dangerous'?
It's only dangerous to the drone. There are no humans up there to crash into.
He could be hit by a firework, causing the firework to go off course. Not likely, but you never know.
What fine tuning?

That's it. That's all you say. Nothing more. Nothing less. You don't have to justify yourself. In fact, you SHOULDN'T justify yourself -- that just gives the bastards ammo. Your rights convey from the bare assertion. Let the bastards drag any justification out of your lawyer if they dare.
So, they took down the sources for cyanogenmod. Do you have any idea what you would be claiming is not patented by them if you sent this little note? They could sue you for damages.
51 of the 53 Dixicrats went back to the DNC, the GOP got 1 and a few years later got a second one. Notable ones sticking with the DNC are Robert Byrd, who personally ran a filibuster the Civil Rights act, and Al Gore Sr. Byrd was celebrated as a hero of the DNC a few years ago when he finally died.
So we have 96% of the racist Dixicrats going to the DNC, and 4% going to the GOP. In order to make your point you had to outright lie, but you just got called out on it.
Cisco made me sign a 'MUST COMPETE" clause when I took their retirement package. They gave me a year's salary, 2 years of health care, and said I couldn't come back, or work for a contractor on cisco contracts for 2 years. So, in order to work, I had to work for a competitor.
Very clever of them. They offered that to every employee over 50 that had 5 years or more of service, other than 'distinguished engineers', who were deemed indispensable. So, much of their intellectual property (such as it is) was transferred to their competitors.
I started getting calls from prior managers the week the 2 year time limit was over. Not a bad paid vacation, hey?
Whilst I have no patience for people using alternative medicine over real medicine, it's over-stating to say that it killed him. He would most likely have still died had he gone for real medical treatment straight away.
Real Programmers don't eat quiche. They eat Twinkies and Szechwan food.
