7 ft? That's like 1 cm tall at best.

What?

mushrooms are the best
they would man's best friend if we could have plant friends.

The resulting product looks like a tanned ballsack.

It's supposed to appeal to engineers.

>potato
yeah, about that...

log(2^200) = log(n)
n = 2^200
rite?

if not, then this
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Logarithm.html

>>8164641
Is this the only way to deduce that? I mean I know its fairly obvious but is there any sort of way to evaluate one one side to n = . . .

>>8164649
apply 'log rules'

My consciousness collapsed its wave function

if 1000 Schrödinger boxes are created with a camera inside and 1000 are opened after a day, which will have less dead cats?

>>8164437
No, the cat suffocated from lack of oxygen

>what you should be doing
(have a goal in mind) -> (does that goal need phD) -> yes -> (get phD)

>what people do
(I have no clue what to do in life) -> stay in school forever -> blame it on school

School isnt the problem. If it isnt school, itll be singing. If it isnt singing, itll be the next big DJ, etc.

The problem is people having no specific goal, and only a vague general idea of success

His phrase is pretty biased though. He is in academia.

A drug seller would say that he knows more people whose lives have been ruined by drugs then by getting a PhD...

That statement literally means nothing. That said, it is not true that people with even minor talent blindly follow graduate school because they didn't have a job lined up immediately after university and just don't want to go around for it.

(study something you really love) -> get PhD in it -> (get whatever job with it to pay the bills and keep studying it because you love it)

What is 'fundamentally weak' about the regressive argument?

>>8164361
Why do the philosophy kids keep getting lost here?
>>>/his/ or >>>/lit/

>>8164361
Cant know nuffin. Just do what science does and take observed reality as your axiom, at least its consistent and historically productive

>>8164352
I think its bad and we should put a stop to it

>>8164352
define intellectual

Someone explain how diindolylmethane removes epigenetic NRF2 blocks and helps to regulate your immune system.

even if we could transfer and replicate with 100% accuracy the entire atomic makeup of your body, there's still the unknown problem of whether or not 'you' will still exist in the teleported body

who would want to be teleported if it's no different than dying?

teleportation is theoretically possible, but it's several thousand years away (assuming steady human technological progress, which probably won't happen)

>>8164340
Im pretty sure it kills you, so i would never do it

>>8164347
>>8164367
The solution to the issue of your consciousness not being moved is to instead of copy and replicate your body, bend space instead. Teleportation via deconstruction and reconstruction is just a cloning machine that murders the original (you).

>claim that the second law of thermodynamics proves that evolution can't be true because entropy over time can never decrease.
I read in some book recently that this argument had been used by creationists in the past. What a coincidence.

>>8164292
I know it's false but I don't know enough about thermodynamics for the detailed explanation of why it is incorrect. Anyone care to explain in detail?

>>8164292
Also, isn't it fucking hilarious how creationists pick and chose when they believe in science?

>>8164282
This is a pretty good book for general chemistry.
http://bookzz.org/book/1203060/3a549a
here's the solutions manual
http://bookzz.org/book/2082734/441329

yeah, the text is 6th, the solutions 5th, it doesn't really matter, and you can dig around on bookzz to try to find ones that match if you really give a shit

definitely a noble cause, wish you luck on your endeavors and hope you get a great career!

>>8164282
I'd recommend signing up on edx.org. It's an opencourse site with a strong focus on stem. it's all self-paced and there's plenty of courses with varying levels. It's not dodgy shit either.

>Solid that reacts with water to produce Hydrogen cyanide

Figure it out yourself, why are you on a science/ math board if you're too lazy to solve a scientific reasoning problem?

>>8164277
Isn't Zyklon B just HCN?

>>8164297
It was a solid pellet that produced HCN upon reacting with H2O.

>>8164183
Does it count if I haven't gotten to differential geometry but I can definitively say babby geometry is easier than babby algebra, despite how fucking easy babby algebra is?

>People on this board think Geometry is the nearly 2000 year old shit they learned in middle school
>They think algebra is solving real polynomials

Why does this fucking board even exist. At least whenever I see fedora tier discussion like this I remember to go back to MSE, MO

>>8164183
They are the same subject.

What?

>>8163955
Just wondering if the average female mathematician really is like this.

>>8163953
No, that is one woman in stem though. Get a couple of hundred thousands more and then their combined personality traits will be what 'women in stem are like'.

That said, I do not understand how she defined her goal as being a mathematician.

Like, I'm a reserved and chill dude. I do not even know of the existence of any of these types of game shows but she's watched whole seasons of it. How do people like that end up wanting to be mathematicians?

She is literally a basic bitch. Why is she not in american idol or some shit with her dream of being a popstart or an artist or some other stupid bullshit?

I really don't get it. And there some girls like that in my program. There's this girl who sings at a choir and is relatively outgoing and yet here she is in mathematics. What makes her personality make sense is that she wants to be a math teacher, which is a pretty basic career, and not a mathematician.

But not the bitch on the video. I wonder if by mathematician she means full professor paper writing theorem prover mathematician or some shitty 9 to 5 statistician counts as a mathematician for her too.

the one you posted.

They're called "daylight" lightbulbs and give off a 4700K black body radiation profile. They're extremely common. Go to Home Depot or anywhere else that sells lightbulbs and buy some.*
*the reason why a lot of people don't like them is that similarity to natural sunlight disrupts their circadian rhythm and makes it difficult to sleep

>>8163944
Sure, but we don't even know what it is. What is one we could buy in stores?

>>8163920
> Acting like it is ´original thought´ and that you're a ground-breaking genius.
It took you this long to realise these overt things? Gosh, you're slow.

>>8163936
nope, just wanted to make a thread about it.
wanna talk about it?

Well, how do you then explain how people who were extremely good at evading cognitive bias still believed in God, such as people like Saul Kripke or Albert Einstein? I mean, for example, the extend of objectivity with which Einstein went in proving general relativity and in Einstein-Bohr debates is mind-boggling, and "Naming and Necessity" is perhaps the best argumented book of 20th century, yet both believed in "derived from cognitive biases" God.
Would you also state that bias evasion is as recent as popularization of atheism? This is clearly absurd.
