be that they just start growing when the moisture reaches them ?
It could be. But goes against the evidence from their experiment.
Both groups were submerged in 3cm of water...
You did at least read the summary right?
Across a series of experiments, the researchers submerged nearly 8,000 rice seeds in shallow tubs of water, at a depth of around 3 centimeters (1 inch)
Worst case outcome for them is they pay a small fine, nobody is personally held liable.
Now's the time to put those trillion dollars fines for copyright infringement laws to good use.
If Zuck personally authorized it...
What are you on about?
The only people that lost money were the ones who had the wrong expectations about the future of the company.
It's the system working as intended.
People who expected the company to do X bid up the price to reflect X being done/true.
People who didn't think/expect that didn't buy it. Or sold it once they realized their expectations were wrong.
Now, a lot of the people who lost money were the ones with the bad expectation
Only people who lost money were the ones with the incorrect expectation. As intended.
but it hurts the company in ways that seem unjust to me
How was the company hurt? They didn't perform to what was expected of them. If they had the price wouldn't have gone down.
Sure people may have had unrealistic expectations of the company. How does that hurt the company though? If the expectations were more realistic the price would never have gone so high in the first place. The result is the same.
(In reality, people in the company would have known the expectations were unrealistic and sold for a profit before it was confirmed to everyone else. That's only a good thing for the people in company) or (the company itself could have raised additional capital at the unrealistic valuations, also good for the company)
That's where the original parent is also misunderstanding. The current price isn't because the company "did good" or "failed". It's only concerned with meeting whatever expectations the investors already had for the future when they bought the shares.
Unrealistic expectations mean an unrealistic price.
The same thing happens the other way. If everyone expected X but they did 2X the price would go up. I'm assuming you'd have no problem with that? So how is it not the same?
Yeah, that does seem a bit ridiculous. "Well, you grew a lot, but didn't grow as much as we expected, so you're going to be punished for our miscalculation."
Seems like obvious common sense.
You thought they would make X dollars. But now they're only going to make 1/2 X
You wouldn't think the old valuation was too high?
Why even have an expectation if you're not going to change your strategy when it's wrong?
Do you know what didn't evolve to thrive with 20x the CO2?
It's humans.
I'll vote to keep the climate tolerable for humans. Plants seem to be doing ok. And as you've just mentioned, they've had tens of millions of years to evolve and adapt to the current environment.
mutually assured destruction is their goal dummy.
You mean just like the US?
There'd be nothing mutual about it if America wanted to completely destroy Iran.
Then what is the other 70% of Emirates' GDP?
You could have just looked it up
The remaining 70–75% of the UAE's GDP (often referred to as the non-oil sector) is a highly diversified mix of industries led by trade, manufacturing, financial services, and construction. Recent data for 2024 and early 2025 indicates that the non-oil sector's contribution has hit historic highs, reaching approximately 77.3% of real GDP in the first quarter of 2025
The war in Iran has sent oil-starved countries scrambling for fuel. Many are opting for energy alternatives — and turning to the renewables king of the planet: China.
Chinese exports of solar technology, batteries and electric vehicles all reached record highs in March, according to energy think tank Ember, a sign that the historic oil supply shock is accelerating the adoption of clean energy around the world.
The Washington Post had a similar report recently however as CNN mentioned Reuters claims that there is still plenty of capacity for production. Last year already solar grow faster than any energy source ever.
Feel free to take offense.
I know exactly what I said. Only ignorant ones are those supporting the IRGC.
What do you call the position of people who think school and learning are important. But support a regime who deny that to half their population?
Stay in school, kids.
Unless you're a female in Iran...
Learing over there is just for the boys.
We had a President who tried to unite the nation, put the past behind us, not antagonize the opposition party and his name was Joe Biden.
Pity he died in office and nobody bothered to replace him.
Since when did the MAGA crowd care about the plights of brown people?
MAGAs care about what Trump and JD tell them to care about.
Remember when they were against child sex trafficking and pedos? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
cryptocurrency needs banking laws and ways to force funds to be returned.
At that point why not just use currency?
because the idea that an entire major branch of our government is corrupt is something people really don't want to think about.
Just the one!
