Would it be entirely out of the question for future explorers of The Red Planet to wear suits not made from some crazy expensive tech like in virtually every sci fi story ever, but instead, something as plain as an airtight version of a wool jacket? Or at least, lined on the inside with something as simple as feathers or wool?

The 2017 "Great American" Solar Eclipse
The sticky
What is the solar eclipse? On August 21, in just a few days, the continental United States will experience its first total eclipse of the sun since 1979, and the first to cross from west to east coast since 1919. Please keep all discussion of this event to this thread, and share with us where you'll be viewing this amazing and rare spectacle of nature and what you'll be doing to commemorate this time. The next total eclipse to hit the U.S.A. will not be until 2024.
Totality: To view the full eclipse, you must be in the path of totality. This is the narrow, 70-mile wide path where the umbra (the darkest shadow of the moon) passes through. If you are not within the path of totality, you will miss the amazing spectacle that everyone the world over is coming to see. Do not be fooled by people who say 80% or 90% or even 99.99% partial eclipse is good enough. It's not. Even 99% obscuration is not enough to fully cover the sun in the same way that 100% can, and you will walk away feeling let down. See the resources below for maps of totality.
Traffic: Expect nightmare-ish traffic conditions as you get closer to and especially within the path of totality. Even in the middle of nowhere like Wyoming, traffic could be gridlocked for hours or even days on end. The state of Oregon is equating the situation to a natural disaster, with many rural as well as city roads at a total standstill. Gas stations may run out of fuel. If you are trying to get to the largest cities such as Salem, Nashville, or Columbia, you should depart wherever you're coming from by Sunday morning at the latest.
Lodging: Sold out everywhere. If you hadn't booked 6 months ago, you're out of luck.
Major cities within the path:
Salem, OR
Idaho Falls, ID
Jackson, WY
Lincoln, NE
Kansas City, KS
Columbia, MO
Carbondale, IL
Nashville, TN
Charleston, SC

I agree with many positions this man takes, except one. He believes emotional intelligence is an erroneous study. However, I disagree. Emotional intelligence is clearly the practice of empathy. It entails both self awareness of ones emotional state and that of others. This recognition and apllication software is built of strictly the empathetic state. The Big Five falls flat because you can condition any person to morph their mentality. For example, the say things like: low neuroticism = not easily offended versus high neuroticism = will hold a grudge. We all know with behavioral inspection (introspection, therapy, rehabilitation etc.) people can easily change these traits over time. I am an example of this incongruity, I consider my self highly neurotic, i am prone to hold judgement on a person in my head but im also very quick to ignore what happened and forgive as soon as possible giving people multiple chances, even though psychologically i am completely apprehensive of exposing myself to more damage. Overtime, i got comfortable with this transition (i became christian). I've met many individuals with high thinking capacity but i kid you not, MANY of them were socially or emotionally retarded in comparison to lower frequency thinkers. Its almost as if the two different types of thinkers place values on specfic things that the other doesnt, (scoring high grades vs achieving high social status). Whats your stance on emotional intelligence /sci/?

new question. I know all these perpetual motion machines are bs, but - could designing a machine like this while still using coal or oil or whatever be more efficent than a standard engine.
Like, i guess my question is, can modern machines that produce electricity be improved on by designing them in such a way that they use stupid shit like buoyancy to increase efficiency or whatever?
Or is it just a wast of time, since better ways of producing electricity by skipping the middle man (transforming energy from force, to rotational, to eletrical), such as using solar panals or electrostatic generators are just a better choice.
sorry for sounding like a doofus and not proof readying.
>>
>>9117694
If you want random strangers to give good answers proof reading wouldn't be a bad idea.
The current fossil fuel plants are ~40% efficiency. While there are ways to increase that percentage (superconductors and whatnot) but the current system is probably just the best bang for the buck atm

Why hasn't pilot wave theory received the level recognition it demands? Concepts such as particle wave duality, conscious observers of quantum phenomena and even idealism over materialism can be challenged with pilot way theory

None of those things are of concern to modern research. We've had at least 80 years to develop a better model, called quantum field theory.
>>
no they can't. pilot wave theory makes the exact same predictions.
>>
>>9117448
>theory
It's not a theory, it's an interpretation. There are no empirical interpretations of QM, and QM itself doesn't imply any of the woo woo nonsense it is apparently so famous for. Pilot wave doesn't deserve any respect because it isn't a scientific fucking concept, it's a rationalization that isn't based on any fucking data just like every other fucking interpretation out there.

Hey, /sci/. Econ guy here.
Is the Australien case for protectionism valid? And I mean this mathematically, so I didn't go to the fags at /his/: should countries move away from specializing in industries diminishing returns to scale like agriculture, even if optimal subsidies are an option instead of import tariffs?

MLE and Prosecutor's Fallacy

We are repeatedly warned of the danger of confusing Pr(A|B) with Pr(B|A), because these quantities are distinct and possibly substantially different, as in the case of considering the probability that someone is innocent given the evidence vs the probability of the evidence given the person's innocence.
Maximum Likelihood Estimation is when we estimate the unknown parameter of a distribution by choosing the parameter that maximizes Pr(X|theta), where X is the observed sample and theta is the parameter. MLE has several nice properties and is a common method of estimation.
But why is MLE not an example of the prosecutor's fallacy? Choosing the parameter that makes the data most likely is not the same as choosing the most likely parameter given the data--so why does this work so well? Estimating Pr(theta|X) with Pr(X|theta) seems to be exactly what we shouldn't do, and yet it works.
What am I not understanding?

Bump for actual math discussion rather than race bait

>>9117380
Let's say I have cards labeled 1 through n in a box. You choose a card labeled m.
What is the most likely value of n?
P(m|n) = 1/n when m =< n and 0 when m > n
Thus P(m|n) is maximized when n = m
P(m|n) = P(n|m) P(m) / P(n)
P(m|n) = P(n|m) 1/n / P(n)
Since the distribution of n is unknown we cannot maximize P(m|n), however do note that holding P(n) constant, it is maximized when P(n|m)/n is maximized. This is also when n = m as seen above, Since n must be at least m.
>>
>>9117471
Oh and P(n|m) = P(n) which is useless.

Because they hoped that you could fake it til you made it. Blame your parents. They thought they could force you to be a hero and by including you in gifted programs they raised your academic level so at school everyone thought you were a genius but welcome to the big leagues. High grades mean shit, but that is all you know how to get.
If you want quick relief never forget that you can kill your parents.
>>
I don't talk that much and people assume I'm smart because I usually have good grades and either do exercises quick or don't do it at all.
To be honest, I might be a little close to how smart they think I am but they think I'm smart for the wrong reasons. They are mostly mongrels and are having depersonalization crisis as a side effect to jewish brainwashing by basically all the media that they consume, that's why they are so "dumb". Every normal person should be able to do such exercises(almost halfway through mechanical engineering).
I've suffered from depersonalization crisis too during high school. What got me out of it was the day when I was watching TV and thought a little and couldn't remember a single event in the last week or even what I just watched. I'd just come home, check if I had any homework to do and watch TV all day until the next day. I got really lost in time, thank God I escaped it.
You can be legit dumb or just too brainwashed.
>>
>>9117338
Fuck off man, stop acting like a loser. I deal with "gifted" people everyday and it's a fact that just raw intelligence won't lead you nowhere. Start working hard.
I'll tell you a story:
>be me
>loser student
>behaviour is that of a monkey and school want to get rid of me
>literally prohibited of entering in any chemistry lab(this is a cool story, if you guys want I can make a GT)
>parents think I'm a loser
>fail HS
>parents now are certain that I'm a loser
>decide to study
>hard work every day
>my second High School is 100% study
>professors start to notice the change
>school now sucks my dick
>enter top university
>parents in shock
>keep the hard work
>10/10 grades
>other students think I'm the new Einstein
You see, I didn't improved my IQ, it's the same as it was when I was a loser, I just changed my attitude. Hard work is important anon, make the change.
