How do you feel about Japanese suppression of firearms?
Let's be very clear here, you're stating that every race is "technically" racist when it comes to race preference, because they all exhibit this behavior in the data.

Like I said elsewhere, I concede that according to the dictionary definition of racism, it is racist. However, in the real world, calling someone a racist means that a person should feel guilty and ashamed for their wrong choices. Are you telling me that a person (indeed, the vast majority of all people included in those studies), because they're "technically" racist, should feel ashamed for finding one race statistically more attractive than another? If you're not saying it's a bad thing, then you're saying that that form of racism is ok, in which case I'd wonder why you're arguing this at all.

What is the deal with Venus's atmosphere? How can it be so much higher pressure than Earth's when the gravity at the surface is 0.9 g? Is it just that CO2 is heavier than N2 (44 vs 28 g/mol?)? If we could magically convert the CO2 to O2, would the pressure be lower? Where is all Venus's nitrogen?

Where does all this sulphuric acid come from? Does Earth have the same amount of sulphur, just locked up in rocks? If so, why doesn't it react and precipitate out on Venus?

Okay, time to read the Wikipedia article [1].

So, Venus's atmosphere actually has four times as much nitrogen as Earth's. But that's overwhelmed by having about a hojillion times more carbon dioxide. There's more than enough nitrogen for an Earth-like atmosphere, crushed down into a tiny space.

Plus, the lack of a magnetic field means the solar wind hits the atmosphere harder than it does at Earth; hard enough to blow water vapour off the planet, although i don't know if that's in significant quantities.

Apparently at the surface, the CO2 has enough density and pressure that it's supercritical. So it's not so much an atmosphere, as an ocean. Kind of. We don't have a word for what it is, but it's atrocious.

As for sulphur, it came from wherever (volcanic eruptions, let's say), but the reason it stays in the atmosphere is that sulphuric acid never reaches the ground: if it falls as rain, the heat of the deep atmosphere evaporates it before it lands. I assume there's still a lot of gas-phase sulphuric acid at the surface, but perhaps that doesn't allow a fast enough reaction to take it out of the atmosphere.

And finally, Earth had an atmosphere like Venus's during the Hadean era, from its formation to four billion years ago [2]. Despite being ludicrously hot, liquid water oceans were stable due to the high pressure. Those oceans apparently allow some chemistry that takes most of the CO2 out of the atmosphere. For some reason, that didn't happen (or stopped happening) on Venus. Maybe because the water was whipped away by the solar wind? Or because Venus was just a bit too hot for liquid water? Or because you need not only oceans but plate tectonics to bury the carbon deep in the crust, and Venus doesn't have plate tectonics?

Don't ask me why Venus doesn't have plate tectonics. Probably the same reason it doesn't have a magnetic field, which on Earth is generated by stuff convecting around in the core.

So, total basket case really.

Is there, actually, in this context? What is the reason you're drawing this distinction? What makes generated passwords 'data', but password reset urls and hand-typed entry names 'metadata'?
After the FDA started pressuring 23andme in to not giving data relating to diseases to customers, I lost of respect for them in the genetic arena. Customers have a right to know what's in their bodies. At the moment 23andme is only cleared to give out data from a single disease, which is pathetic. Clearing the way for more genetic diseases will likely be a bureaucratic nightmare and would harm more people in the long run.

Given how conservative the FDA is in allowing companies to inform customers what's in their own bodies, it's unlikely companies will get any form of approval for modification.

I think "living wage" is a good term. It communicates (to me, at least) exactly what it needs to: this is how much you need to be able to live; if you're paid less than this, you are going to need further assistance besides what you earn.

The government in the UK recently started using the words "living wage" but what they mean by it falls short of what other people consider a living wage.

(No argument that being paid just barely enough to live is a pretty wretched existence.)

Everybody has slightly different ethics. She's just pointing out that she views the advancement in this field and the millions of people it could give longer life to if it comes about sooner as more important than the arguments against a human trial, and to make sure someone isn't being taken advantage of, she's doing it on herself. I'm not sure how to fault that.
Close! Earth's atmosphere was much the same as Venus's up to four billion years ago. But it seems that what made the difference was the carbonate cycle:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonate%E2%80%93silicate_cyc...

That article blames the difference on the temperature. Elsewhere, i've seen the presence of water oceans being implicated. Either way, i don't think life was the mechanism at that point. Life didn't really have much of an impact for another billion years or two:

Essential Part of the Volkswagen Diesel Repair Is the Owner
I assume you are asking about this passage:

After it distills down, it rests from six months to a year in stainless steel or glass, with one exception: apple eau de vie, which is sometimes aged in oak barrels, giving it a darker hue. As it rests, the brandy develops character and aromas. Just before it's bottled, it is typically cut with spring water.

I have done a bit of searching and can't readily find a direct answer. I did find a Wikipedia entry on the use of oak in making wine that talks a bit about the converse:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oak_(wine)

I am not much of a drinker. At one time, my dad was a very heavy drinker. He claimed that he could tell by taste alone whether a beer had been bottled in a green bottle or a brown one. I have also been acquainted with a serious wine connoisseur who said he could tell you all sorts of things about where it came from and what not based on the flavor. I was recently reading a bit about Chinese tea and a devoted connoisseur was going on at length about how the source of the water, the type of pot it is boiled in, etc impact flavor of the tea.

So, I think the short answer is that, to some degree, probably every step in the process impacts aroma and flavor. But as a guess, I would assume that the point of resting it in glass or stainless steel is to be a flavor neutral as possible at that step in the process. Using oak is apparently done specifically to impact flavor, color, etc. in the brewing/distiling process.

How insane is that?

Add to the fact that cost of living is so high now in the Bay Area, and safe returns are so low, that building up any sort of true emergency savings is difficult... Insane.
Aircraft sales is a really weird industry. It's gone the way of the AAA video game in the sense that its so expensive to build one now that there are only a select few companies that can do so.

And going forward companies will go for iteration rather than new designs as each new design is almost a literal bet the company proposition. Just look at the 32 billion the article asserts that Boeing has already spent on the dream liner!!

There was a great article that gets posted here every now and then called something like why can't we fly any faster and it turns out the answer is that consumer's don't want to pay for it. I think something similar is happening with air craft design in the sense that we're seeing less improvement because no one, in terms of passengers, wants to pay for the cost involved to really inovate.

As to a comment about space travel/tourism eating Boeing's lunch, I think that's a pretty uniformed comment. How many private company has more space flight knowledge, patents, or design experience than Boeing?

There aren't many and I don't think there will be that many due to the costs involved. I mean Boeing has spent 32 Billion on the dream liner, what is Space X's valuation?

If I had to guess, the future of air craft design is increased partnership, not more companies.

I don't have a good answer for bridging the gap between what it costs to live somewhere and what low-end jobs pay, but I'm of the opinion that in aggregate, supply and demand tells us the correct wage for a particular job in a particular location. This wage may be above someone's definition of a "Living Wage" or it may be below. It is what it is. Any amount above the market-determined wage and what someone declares to be a Living Wage is a subsidy. If we decide that society needs to provide this subsidy, who pays it? In the US, we currently subsidize it through a forced Minimum Wage, an earned income tax rebate, "food stamps", health care subsidies, etc.
They didn't give an overall picture as to how this happens. Airliner programmes run at a loss initially, because there were the development costs, the costs for equipment and methods to build the plane, and that it takes way longer to build the plane since that one hasn't been built before. However as more and more are built, the whole process gets more and more efficient making each one cheaper (aka the learning curve). It is generally measured by comparing the costs on unit N with those of 2N, and for airliners is around 75-85% (eg unit 200 should cost 75-85% of unit 100). Javier has two excellents posts - a more detailed explanation and how it happens in aerospace, and then deriving the 787 curve based on public information:

http://theblogbyjavier.com/2014/03/03/learning-curves/

http://theblogbyjavier.com/tag/learning-curve/

The manufacturers also give steep discounts on the first few planes off the assembly line, as they are less likely to meet the promised specs, probably overweight, and more prone to teething issues. Consequently the most expensive ones to make get lower revenues too. But then the manufacturer expects to make it up in volume over time.

The 787 programme has all the above applying, but also was done differently. In the late 90s McDonnell Douglas was bought by Boeing. The inside joke is that McDonnell actually bought Boeing, using Boeing's own money. Some of the senior management at Boeing for commercial aircraft was also taken over by McDonnell people. McDonnell was well known for financial engineering, somewhat as a side effect of not having much money,

They decided that the 787 would be revolutionary on many fronts at the same time. That includes extensive use of composites, all electric architecture (current planes use a lot of hydraulics and bleed air), new engines, and advanced systems. They also farmed out much of the design and manufacturing work (far more than normal for previous airliner programmes).

In theory that meant spreading of the risk, and that Boeing would slap the planes together, collect the money and get rich. The optimism meant pricing them really cheap which led to a huge number of orders, as airlines couldn't say no to such a bargain and specs.

In practise Boeing hadn't discovered new magic, risks hurt everyone, individual manufacturers had problems, different partners had different priorities, things didn't run as cohesively as expected, Boeing had to spend lots of money rectifying issues including buying some suppliers, assembly was problematic and the list goes on.

The consequence is that the overall expenditures and initial far too low pricing, combined with the actual learning curve means they are unlikely to ever make an overall profit.

qrendel is clearly wrong about genetics as the timescale isn't long enough evolutionary changes to take place. Only 2-3 generations back, it wasn't uncommon in the US to have 8+ children, so clearly cultural effects are much stronger than inheritable genetic factors. See also the one child policy in China as a example of how the timescale is too short for evolutionary feedback.

qrendel is clearly wrong about population dynamics, as 'greater base of working-age citizens to support the non-working portion (retired, children)' only applies for an exponentially growing population, which must stop at some point, for clearly physical reasons like the Sun not providing enough energy.

qrendel also prefers city life, as seen in the assumption that the presence of more people means that those with uncommon interests "will be able to form communities of people with similar interests". This view excludes those who want to go for long walks alone on the beach, or hate living where they can see the lights of their neighbors, or want the local ecosystem to continue to support wildlife that does poorly around dense human habitation.

As qrendel does not believe there is resource scarcity, than that's only because qrendel does not regard things like '5 million wild buffalo freely roaming the US plains' or 'ability to see the Milky Way in the night sky' as resources. These are certainly not critical to what's needed for the human body to survive, but survival is only the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

Despite those wrong statements, and incorrect generalization, I cannot tell from what qrendel wrote if "natural right" is used as something other than how it's generally used. However, it is possible to have both reproductive rights and a stable population, as we see in many of the countries which are below the replacement level of fertility, so these are not in direct opposition.

When you said 'Reproduction is not a natural right', I think you meant to say 'population growth to resource limits is not a natural right'. I and (it appears) ryanwaggoner were thrown off by your use of qrendel's phrase with your interpretation of what qrendel meant.
There are lots of approaches to eliminating excess CO2 that we could talk about if people like you didn't reflexively smear technology as some great devil. Voluntary CO2 emission reduction looks so far like a doomed effort that goes against every incentive built into human nature.
I imagine the reasoning is that give people incorrect information about a disease they may have could be extremely damaging. Having models that predict the accuracy of each diagnosis to within a few percent and presenting this percentage would be better (maybe requiring it be over a certain percentage), but the FDA is conservative enough I can imagine them requiring 99% accuracy or better on everything.
