Well it is not a good thing that this is the best that the world has to offer this year for science research, particularly considering that half of the world has reduced spending by far more than inflation.
France keeps pace with inflation in science research, should not be a newsworthy phenomena.
Positive results are interesting results. Lets say you prove that watermelons cause 80% of all cancers, that is headline and front page stealing news. The report detailing how you proved watermelons have no link to cancer is not.
Similarly, your scientific paper on how to cure cancer is worth billions and extremely interesting news, while you paper on how NOT to cure cancer is neither.
If they practice good science every step should be grounded in good science and not be subject to validly criticism.
Of course it is entirely understandable where an unofficial conversation where the person is not trying too hard to find perfect wording could be mis-understood.
But I think it is important to be able to see a scientists method in action to gauge if what the report says is actually what happened.
There is not a big deal, but then why do you not wear one when walking or jogging. I would say there is a far higher chance of falling down while walking/jogging (particularly in ice laden countries) when their is while biking. I have heard statistics for the university I used to go to, and during winter fall related injuries are extremely common. Wearing pads and helmets would save lives and decrease injuries (both of which happen quite often). And in Russia falling icicle related deaths are no joke, yet people have not taken to wearing hard hats whenever they go outdoors.
Well maybe you should wear a helmet while walking down the street as well, and particularly while jogging. Every second of every life is a measured risk. Everything you do has a % chance to kill/maim/hurt you, and there are things many times more dangerous than biking that you and everyone else do not use protection while doing.
Personally wearing a bike helmet to me is in the gray area, neither stupid to do it or to not do it. But I do worry that the increased obstruction of a helmet would increase the % chance of getting in the accident that it helps you survive. Maybe your wife gets in crashes less because she doesn't wear a helmet?
So we know that if you are going head first into the pavement, you want a helmet on. But does wearing a helmet increase the chances of a serious crash by impairing the biker?
Well first off China does have bickering, there one party system is forming groups of like minded individuals inside of it.
And of course the US does not jail any journalists for doing their job, they have freedom of the press. They have to come up with more imaginative ways of dealing with dissenters.
And cue, Macs cost the same as similarly specced PCs argument.
The thing about pricing specs is that you will find 100 different prices for nearly identical specs. But one argument is obvious, the Mac brand is with all of its fanaticism is obviously worth (read: enables them to be able to charge) a 1.5-2 times multiplier. So I do not have to see one specific compared setup to tell you that obviously MACs are overpriced.
Sure they only have one party, but the US only has two, and look what their bickering has turned your country into. Personally I always thought that parties run completely against the idea of a working democracy, and one party is the same as no party.
"Elections in the People's Republic of China are based on a hierarchical electoral system, whereby local People's Congresses () are directly elected, and all higher levels of People's Congresses up to the National People's Congress, the national legislature, are indirectly elected by the People's Congress of the level immediately below." I am not sure how you do it in the US exactly, but in Canada this is pretty much exactly it. We elect local representatives, but all the important people are elected by the government.
But more similar to the US, China has shown a willingness and ability to go after activists and journalists who dislike how things are run. So pretty much like the US, not that I would consider either particularly free, fare, or by the people for the people.
Shows how little you know about the modern world that you think Russia is even in the running. Autralia or Canada are closer to being a top dog than Russia.
Sounds very very time consumptive. For example asking what documents do exist would have to be a 10 million plus long list. And asking for certain infomation would mean someone would have to read through every single documetn to figure out which 10,000 (most likely) are relevent out of the multiple millions.
Unless some agency catalogues and publishes all document titles, at least, how would you go about requesting something you know nothing about. Can you just ask for any email to/from a particular address, or any email with a certain keyword?
But regardles of what longitudinal statistics would or would not show, if there are any that website sure was not pointing them out, the main issue is not do more people die but does it have any negative effect at all on the 99% of us normal people. I think Robert A. Heinlein said it best "Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak just because a baby can't chew it." (paraphrase of quote from The Man Who Sold the Moon (1950)).
Regardless of if showing suicides pushes some deeply disturbed individuals over the edge or not is beside the point. There is not a thing under the sun that could not possibly push someone over the edge into some violent act. If you are so worried about the dregs of society then round them up, put them in straight jackets and padded rooms, and keep them doped out of their minds for the rest of their short and horrible lives.
And showing car chases encourages other people to do the same, reporting about murders, thefts, and serial killers also.
But in real life, these are not normal people who suddenly decide to do these things because the news reported it. Does the overall suicides over a long period of time go up when a suiside is shown? or does it just bunch a bunch of people together in a short period of time.
What is so bad about showing suicides? It does not even sound like they showed it insensitivly, it was just footage of the event (it is not like the anchor was yelling "do it").
This, 100 times this. Regardles of what gui you perfer or if you think Linux is a pile of crap or amazing, the main reason to use windows is because it has all the software and an OS is primarilly just a tool to run software.
This study points that that women are not identical to men: ""The average salary suggested by male scientists for the male student was $30,520; for the female student, it was $27,111. Female scientists recommended, on average, a salary of $29,333 for the male student and $25,000 for the female student."
And in Nazi Germany, you would be the one calling the police on suspected Jews; Because apparently common decency is overruled by a small chance or getting in trouble.

No, you go deep enough in DF and you get to battle to denizens of hell.
We get free samples all the time, it is called volcanic eruptions.
All drilling to the mantle will do is create a new volcano.

I never said there was anywhere near the top, just way ahead of Russia.
And population is not everything, Germany never had that huge of a population when you consider how close they came to world domination.

China is a Democratic Capitalistic society. More or less identicle to the US..

It is obviously sexist.
