I love it when people just make jokes instead of answering a question

number of genera, families, orders, classes, and phyla—a designation above class—in each kingdom. That's a relatively easy task, since the number of new examples in these categories has leveled off in recent decades.

By contrast, the number of newly discovered species continues to rise sharply.

Using complex statistics, Worm and colleagues used the number of genera, families, and so on to predict Earth's number of unknown species, and their calculations gave them a number: 8.7 million.

An Issue of Statistics

Some experts called the research, published August 23 in the journal PLoS Biology, reasonable.

But Dan Bebber, an ecologist at the environmental group Earthwatch Institute, said the study relies on improper statistical methods.

The study team used a method called linear regression to calculate the number of Earth's species. But Bebber thinks this method is the wrong one for the data, and that the team should have used a technique known as ordinal regression.

You can stop giving them weapons, you can actually try something. If you think us cannot tell Israel what to do then you are blind

Biden never did anything to pressure Israel. The actions of both of them are pretty much the same.

Why don't you ask yourself why the Democrats chose to fight for Israel rather than their own country? Why did they refuse to take a meaningful stand? It's not like they didn't know/had data about how many leftist voters felt about the issue.

Haven't they already been doing this in Guantanamo?

I really like this, if it's not completely locked down I would switch to it

The problem with steamOS is anticheat and I can't as easily download games from questionable sources

why are they like this?

Which would you rather have 1 million dollars or 100 million dollars?

That's basically the thought process, if it bombs I can blame it on some other, if it doesn't then I'm good

Suspending games is a hit or miss, depends on the game but I would say 70% don't work right

Deserts aren't necessarily good for solar panels because they lose a lot of efficiency at high ambient temperature

A technique called transformation toughenening uses a bunch of small particles of zirconia dispersed in alumina causing compressive stresses at crack tips preventing them from propogating and increasing toughness

 

I'm not a programmer, so I can't really do it myself. Is it allowed for me to go to some random dude, pay him 20 bucks to write the code, then have him add it to the GitHub?

(If you're wondering what the app/feature is, I want to be able to shuffle play on the findroid app like you would be able to on the jellyfin web interface )
