    My Shazamme does not work since years.
    I guess they want me to upgrade to the newest version ...

    But as I'm a software engineer my self, I refuse to follow the 'oh it does not work anymore? did you update?' meme.

    I make some screen shots from the music it 'recognized' and then I delete it.

    I choosed my wording wrong, that is all.
    Bottom line we have _no_ gun violence, armed robbery etc. in Europe.
    The amount of _no_ may vary.
    Next time I chose my words better and point out: in Germany with 80 million inhabitants we have less than 10 armed robberies per year, while gods own country has about 10 per day (with 400 million inhabitants).

    Understand the relevance ...

  8. And that is 100% correct. But unless you are a homocidal maniac, you would use dummies instead of real people.
    Then we still don't know if the placebo will fail on rwal people or if the real chutes work on real people.

    You are just the idiot I adressed with my previous post.

    When Gallileo discovered the laws of gravity, he had no placebo gravity, placebo stones, placebo tower etc. to make his experiments with.

    If there is a law that describes your experiments and the results you expect, you don't need a placebo law, placebo experiemt etc. placebo group.

  13. Re:Why is any of this notable? on Almost All Bronze Age Artifacts Were Made From Meteorite Iron (sciencealert.com) · · Score: 1

    Bronce is not harder, it is softer, both than iron and steel.
    However it is not as brittle as 'bad' iron/steel.

    Bottom line it is not a question of rarity but industry. The indusrty slowly shifted to iron. And a workshop that was producing iron, probably could not afford to habe a second branch for iron.
    It might also be a matter of style, who wants an old school bronce knive when he can have a nice glittering steel knive?

    Both technologies existed at the same time, e.g. spartan spears had an iron/steal tip. But the tip on the back side was bronce, so was their sword and armor and shield.

    Being clever or not has not much to do with 'technology level'.
    Most people I ever met don't know why a circle has 360 degrees ... I would call that 'not clever', most people I know can not skin an animal or cut the meat from the bones, or sail a boat ar build a shelter ... sounds all very unclever to me.
    But they all handle a smart phone and can even operate difficult to handle micro waves ... not sure how clever that is.

  15. Re:What's the difference? on Almost All Bronze Age Artifacts Were Made From Meteorite Iron (sciencealert.com) · · Score: 1

    Oki, I give me few cents to that thread:
    Iron unlike copper etc. is not simply 'melted' out of ore.
    Iron only exists in various forms of iron oxices, which need to be 'reduced', you need heat and something that takes the oxide out of the iron ore (and in that process the iron is melted)
    For that you use cornon monoxide, aka burning charr coal ember, and obviously you need a hot fire.

    So the main diffence to copper smelting is not the heat alone but the amount of carbon monoxide you can produce in the fire,

  16. That is well known since 50 years or more, but nice that a 'new study' confirms it again.

    If the data collected by some sensors is wrong, wrong in a deterministic way, you obviously correct it.

    No, the trends are not down.
    You are an idiot

    You are an double idiot because you don't even grasp your own language.

    We have three kinds of trends: flat, increase, decrease. E.g. we could have an increase of rents by about 10% over 3 years as a trend.

    Suddenly we have only 7% over a course of 3 years. So the trend decreased (the trend is down) but the direction of the trend, an increase of rent has not changed at all.

    As the amount of tropical storms has increased decade after decade, I don't see a change in the trends direction. Perhaps in its speed? No idea, I don't need to know how quickly the rate of devestating storms is increasing.

    I ditched my stocks of Muenchner Rueck decades ago. (I guess you don't know who/what that company is ... but that does not matter)

  23. Draw a logarythmic curve.
    Find the point where the gradient is a linear 1:1 increase.
    Unfortunately we are at that point in time/CO2 level.

    So for the current situation and next centuries, the effect of CO2 is linear, double the amount and you doubke the effect.
    What is not linear is the effect on water vapour and CH4, and their effects.

    Sentences like 'that effect is logarithmic' are as stupid as applying laws of thermodynamics to mechanics, as in friction or lever laws.

  24. Well, it does not really matter which 'climate gas' has the strongest effect.
    At least not on the level of yous stupidity and ignorance.

    CO2 is the main driver, because it is the root of increased water vapour and CH4.

    Or do you think the water vapour came magically into existance?

    There wont be any wealth transfer, regardless how the climate problem is tackled.

    Or do you really think changing the climate back to where it was/should be or how ever you call it makes any poor person on the planet richer and any rich person on the planet less rich?

    If you think that you are an idiot.

    Regardless how the planet is run: the rich peope will run it and the poor will stay poor. If you believe otherwise you are an idiot, plain and simple.

  25. Well, we haave no actual data for the year 2100 ... you watched to much 12 monkeys?
