Comment "Promised but not delivered" is more common (Score 1) 82

NIH had promised but not delivered money on human-animal chimeric research in the past. Thus researchers are already used to bad surprises.

BTW Giving money that you do not own is not altruistic. It is stealing. And while it can be involved to check the sources of given money, this Ponzi scheme was well discernible.

Hi, first of all, I admit that I should had not written it in a confrontational way. Using such a tone leads to nowhere, thus I'll not continue in that part.

Regarding the slogan, I understood what he meant; and I disagree with that. According to both my personal experience, and according to texts on life at workplace that I read, it is better when you can offer something too. Thus I tried to alter that slogan so that I could agree with it.
Regarding (public) education in US, it looks like a (form of) business when seen from outside US. But yeah, it would be a long discussion on that.

Enjoy your life, regardless of your education and slogans!

Everything is a business in US, incl. healthcare and education, contrary to the ways e.g. in EU. Thus no surprise here.

BTW Your signature shows that US education has more issues, assuming you are from US. If that sentence started with "Being the most curious person" then hey, yes. But not the way you have it. And generally, it is the best case when everyone in the room knows something more than the other ones know, since then the learning can work the best.

I read it as it has been (possible and) easier to scale hydro (rather) than batteries. But you may be right that the battery price lowering changes it. If it is true, I expect grid-scale battery storage plants to get built. I guess that it is still an opportunity (incl. for you) to get involved in that scaling. It has not been scaled that way up to now, thus it is something new. And a new is an opportunity.

Comment Do they need help from citizens? (Score 1) 114

All those terrible jokes on brain-dead Canadians aside (they are, but they do not deserve this). I hope that they'll find soon by what it is caused, guessing some toxin, alike the article says they guess too.

Could this be helped by citizen science where people would try to find out the paths of the toxins (assuming it is that way)? Like, say, it is done for the contact tracing.

If you want clean energy without nuclear power plants, find out how to store huge amounts of energy. Otherwise you only pretend to care about the climate. With the current technology, you need nuclear power plants to have stable carbon-free energy. And yes, it takes time to build nuclear power plants. Thus either start to build them, or face up to using carbon-heavy energy sources.

Comment Re:" a means to combat online hate..." (Score 1) 293

I've read the text at your wikipedia link, and there is no mention of violence there. It even states that The various laws that refer to "hatred" do not define it. It had to go to Canadian supreme court at some cases, and they apparently include severe defamation in that.

BTW Personally, I am against any baseless defamation. Those court decisions do not mention whether it is about baseless defamation though.

Taken together, it looks like you are a liar.
