Sure that are lots of other factors, but 1st order effect *has* to be energy in = energy out.
This!
There are absolutely myriad factors affecting things - genetics, gut flora, etc...and they *do* matter. But I'm tired of hearing people try to shift things away from the most important aspect, which is the overall thermodynamics. Genetics affecting how efficient you are at absorbing energy from food doesn't change that - it just means that you have less/more that you need to eat. This may be unfortunate for the taste buds, but won't adversely affect the nutritional content.
I experienced the parent's anecdote as well. I woke up one day and decided to lose weight, so I started counting every Calorie. I've lost about 25kg over 5 months. It sucked, but I didn't modify anything about the nature of my diet except the quantities.
While obviously the conclusion is a bit tongue-in-cheek, the study is pretty nifty. The actual study attempted to show how environmental factors may influence self-reporting on sensitive data. Amazingly, people with stronger religious convictions or who had signed chastity pledges were more likely to maintain that they were still virgins, even on anonymous surveys, while simultaneously (on anonymous surveys) reporting accurate pregnancy history.
Not because I'm trying to be contrary or disbelieve you, but because I'm genuinely interested in cases where legitimate, well-conducted studies showed something established to be false and which were buried because of the potential ramifications.
I'm sure it's happened, but it starts to sound like a conspiracy theory, particularly in the absence of an example or two.
Where is the line between having a spirited discussion on how an administrator can lack common sense...and providing their contact details (regardless of how public they may be) to a public forum?
The last word needs to be something like "Analysis". I'll admit, my goal here has nothing to do with helping people or better representing the technology. I just want people to be able to say "SANTA told me I have cancer."
Have there been any studies regarding the climate impact of solar installations themselves? Cities, with all their concrete and glass and whatnot, affect their local climate. It seems like adding a crap ton of shiny things across huge swaths of land would have a similar impact (or, when in an urban area, exacerbate the effect).
I'm neither a climate scientist nor particularly familiar with the research on the effects of urban areas, and while CO2 emissions have a global impact, I'd be interested in the tradeoff of a lessened global impact alongside a stronger local impact.
Does it also simulate how viruses propagate amongst passengers? Can you simulate the scenario where all the toilets clog and the decks are awash with filth?

if I know that 0 means Donald Trump's hair is a weasel with eyes, and 1 means his hair is a creature from the planet Pluton
This is why writing in binary is painful for most people to imagine.
Have we reached a new low where now Slashdot articles are supported by a link to Pinterest?

So...take off the extra layer of clothing?
...I think your options are pretty much limited to violating the laws of thermodynamics.
I was not aware of this option. Please sign me up for your newsletter.
All I know is that West Philadelphia is bad enough that people are leaving to live with wealthy relatives in Bel Air.
I tried that, but the parent process was *not* happy!
More importantly, can we get an "Undo Post" on Slashdot for when we accidentally say something we regret?
Better yet, how about a collective "Undo Submit" to rescind articles that everyone agrees the editors should never have allowed through?
Perhaps you meant...EXTRAORDINARY magnitude.
Aha! I knew I wasn't the only one who cleansed my car with Flüidé!
"Yo momma so fat, her insulin come from prototype mesh electronics delivery mechanisms" just doesn't have that same punch.
I thought - where the heck have I been that we've gotten down to sub-nanometer processes? Then I read the summary.

But can it do better than: "Dear Aunt, let's set so double the killer delete select all."?
Assuming his designation is accurate...nine?

I tried a supermassive diet, but it didn't work out so well. Turns out metabolism doesn't work that way.
That depends on whether the plastic in the oceans retains heat. It could count as an assist.
It's just different grammar than you're used to.
Apple and Blackberry at Tanagra. Darmok and Jalad, their cellphones wide.

I demand realism from my simulators!
Which is exactly why Batman would win.
