So... you're saying the work of studying proteins for years, coming up with the game idea, creating and distributing the software, is all nothing, in comparison to the guy who downloaded a program and clicked some buttons? I think the notion of "discovery" is pretty fuzzy in a lot of cases, but you're crazy if you think the player deserves MORE credit than the software authors here.
Can you elaborate? You say "combine a CVT with a planetary...not using friction components" but I was under the impression that a standard CVT (with 2 cones and a belt? That's the kind I know about) does use friction components, whereas this new design doesn't.
What I don't get is how exactly this is distinct from a differential gear.
Yes, the convention of placing independent variables on the horizontal axis and dependent variables on the vertical axis. Though I think the expressive use of "steep" to mean "requiring effort" justifies ignoring that convention.
Do you not agree that gambling in general is also completely fucking stupid? Maybe not quite as much, but still, they're both an expected net loss for the majority of gamblers.
I have a dual boot system with "filesystem" and "windowsboot" partitions on my main drive, plus three internal hard drives that are always connected, named "mediaI", "mediaII", "mediaIII". The order at the moment is:
I just can't imagine what ordering scheme would result in that list. Sometimes the three media drives are not "monotonic" - II will be first, then III, then I.
I'd even be happy if it were random, but consistent over time.

This is a completely nonsensical analogy. If what they were publishing were at all distinct from the actual Wikipedia snapshot, you might have a valid point.
Has the Nautilus "Places" ordering bug been fixed yet? I'm not a developer, but seriously, how hard can it be to allow the user to drag and drop items in the "Places" widget? The nearly identical bookmarks can be drag-and-dropped. I wouldn't even care, if the default ordering made ANY sense at all, but its not alphabetical, not chronological, its COMPLETELY random as far as I can tell. Why can't somebody fix this?
Here's one way to think about it: You have two concentric circles in a plane, they can't pass through each other in two dimensions. In three dimensions, the concept of "passing through each other" is no longer necessary for getting them "unlinked".
Really what you want though is deaths per unit of vehicle distance, in urban/suburban/whatever areas. How do the statistics look if you break them down into city vs interstate (and whatever the analog is for UK) ? Not that I think the US would look safer necessarily, but it would be an interesting comparison.
I don't know anything about teaching young children, but I know that learning frequently requires repeated exposure. One of my graduate professors likes to chant this. Part of this may be because young children simply need the concepts explained repeatedly. Just a suggestion, I don't actually know what I'm talking about here.
I find it odd that you contrast "temperature percentage" with celsius. I know that in my city right now it is 18% of the way between water freezing and water boiling. How do I know this? because Google tells me that it is 18 degrees celsius at the moment. Are you really trying to argue that our units of temperature are not entirely arbitrary?
Accordingly, celsius gives the exact same granularity as integer percentages do. We wouldn't need 4 decimal places for capsaicin fraction, we'd just need 2 significant digits. 15000 scovilles is closer to 0% than 1%, but that is why we write.094%. Better yet, 938 ppm.
Of course it's easier to interpret a measurement scale that you're accustomed to. Guess what? I have no idea how many scovilles are in a jalapeno. That makes scovilles as meaningless to me as capsaicin fraction. Having no intuitive understanding of either system, I'd just prefer percentage or ppm.

The pattern is known as "debate". Do you expect one all-knowing, totally unbiased man to provide all the answers to these questions?

Except in 50 years, they'll need a new phrase because the concept of a "lawn" will be as unfamiliar as say, rewinding cassette tapes, is today...

So would you approve of mounting weapons on the cameras? You know, for immediate negative feedback.
There are no overall estimates for the number of birds affected by oil and gas spills, and oil and gas extractions (and transport.)

Old comment, but...
I have a dual boot system with "filesystem" and "windowsboot" partitions on my main drive, plus three internal hard drives that are always connected, named "mediaI", "mediaII", "mediaIII". The order at the moment is:
filesystem
network
mediaIII
windowsboot
mediaII
floppy drive
mediaI
I just can't imagine what ordering scheme would result in that list. Sometimes the three media drives are not "monotonic" - II will be first, then III, then I.

Both subjective and wrong? How's that?

I think you need to consider a broader interpretation of the term "aperture"

What I don't see is why people even use this script in the first place - what functionality does it provide that the site itself doesn't?

I wish my car's speedometer had a "percentage of light speed" mode
He wanted to know how the hell we did it. He thought we used a rocket. They said it would have cost them millions of dollars
How do you read that and not interpret it as NASA simply inquiring about their methods?

Jeez, sorry for trying to insert some fun into a mundane aspect of life. Maybe you should try to relax.
Wells, really? Any idea why?
