    Is it just because of the history?

    More likely because of herd mentality

  3. Re:Hidden hierarchies are the worst on Meet the 36 People Who Run Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Wikipedia is clear about not being a democracy (a statement that many Wikipedians seem to ignore) ... I don't want to be part of a system that pretends to be open but isn't.

    Do i need to say more?

  11. Re:The Conservative Option on Texas Ebola Patient Dies · · Score: 1

    Agreed lesser people have died of ebola, but number of gunshot deaths is fairly stable, while ebola related deaths might increase a lot over time. In other words, rate of change is also important not just the current value

  12. That's not very smart on NASA Finds a Delaware-Sized Methane "Hot Spot" In the Southwest · · Score: 1

    We didn't focus on it because we weren't sure if it was a true signal or an instrument error,

    That is not very smart, Such a huge discrepancy from expected value no matter what the reason should be the first thing to focus on. What use were your other measurements if you weren't even sure if the 2500km spot was instrument error or real thing.

  17. Re:Your masters will learn to tune the system on Math Models Predicted Global Uprisings · · Score: 1

    If a majority of our comrades can be kept satisfied with breads and circuses, then perhaps then any nation will eventually move to the same state we find ourselves in.

    Aravali hills have Rajasthan on on Levard side, not even much rain there even during monsoons

  21. Government getting money != working on Rome Police Use Twitter To Battle Illegal Parking · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The new system, which was created by Raffaele Clemente, Rome's chief of traffic police, seems to be working.

    I would argue if it were working then they wouldn't be getting many such tweets. Perfaps you forget aim is not to give more itations but fewer illegal parkings. All we can say is it might work.

    In twenty yes/no questions you can identify one million objects or concepts (2^20 = 1024*1024).

    That would be the case if 20 questions were fixed, you also need to also multiply a factor for how many unique set of questions are possible

  24. Re:Pretty much sums it up well. on It's Not Memory Loss - Older Minds May Just Be Fuller of Information · · Score: 1

    If there only was a way to forget some bad old stuff to make room for new...

    Yes there is, its called death( and eventual rebirth of base materials as brand new fresh brain)

  25. Re:Article and summary is wildly wrong on Up To a Quarter of California Smog Comes From China · · Score: 1

    Points made in GP are correct, let me explain it this way: 1.)Suppose smog in china is cause of x% smog in u.s., we can be sure x =100 2.)How smog in china spreads to u.s. is assumed to be independent of what was the cause of smog in china itself 3.) 17%-36% smog in china is from manufactured goods 4.) Only 1/5 th of this smog (Lets call it Y) is actually produced from products bound for u.s. 5.) Article states that Y is responsible for 25% of smog over u.s. i.e. 6.) Rest of the smog in china should also cause smog over the u.s, This rest of the chinese fogs which is 4 times Y, should cause atleast 4 times as much smog over u.s. as well. 7) Hence we get chinese smog to be contributor of about 125% smog over western u.s.. I hope you now see the problem, or would otherwise care to explain whats wrong
