  1. Re:People definitely neglect science... on Parents Baffled By Science Questions · · Score: 1

    I'm just making a drunk mathematical analysis, but it seems to me that a ball is defined by an infinite number of points following a three operand (per dimension) function. Since infinity contains itself, therefore, even an infinitesimal piece of it is again infinity, you can build a infinite number of balls, because a piece of infinity is again infinity. Any mathematician want to correct me?

    Would you like to build a car (society) from genera purpose iron ore, or pre-made, specialized parts?

    Here's an idea, quit babysitting kids 1-st through 4-th grade, and make them learn, and pull the major studying load down the grade scale. When in puberty, people have other things on their mind, and we can't change that without powerful medication that will screw up their lives ahead. Might as well deal with it.

    I have never understood the concept of "age appropriateness". Everything is just facts. If the child was raised properly, i.e. to think logically, it can handle anything an adult can, if given enough relevant information. That's not only how I learned about sex, I learned about everything that way, and I'm far from a pervert, actually I usually embarrass adults (I'm a teenager) with the down to earth way I discuss such subjects. I think your culturally imposed limitations are impeding your friend's child's development, though you are doing much better than most anybody else in your place.
    PS: Please excuse any errors in my post, I'm slightly drunk at the moment of writing.
    Cheers!

    Better yet: Creative Commons style licensing. Any Joe Blow can make a supercomputing cluster, but can't make money of it before paying Google. I'd say that with CC-family licenses patents are obsolete.

    I'm nor worried about journalistic integrity much. They will probably start mudflinging wars with each other and their sponsors, so we actually may see much more interesting info. Unless they form a cartel, of course.

    This name calling is getting really old. Sorry I started it. But, my point was that diamonds from natural sources, and synthetic ones after simple treatment are dielectrics, making them useful in thermal pastes for CPUs and electronics. Which proves your initial argument wrong. Nice offtopic strawman BTW. OK, so I can't help myself, I have to be snarky. So sue me. No, wait, don't I'm just a drunk teenager.
