There's probably jobs for about a dozen of those a year but they were enrolling thousands of students in that major. Not that many of them completed the degree as the type of people who thought it was a good idea are also the type who cannot complete even the most simple assignments.

Climate scientist Stephen Schneider of NOAA in the October 1989 issue of Discover magazine admitted that climate scientists intentionally mislead the public about global warming as a means of forwarding their political goals:>Stephen Schneider of the National Center for Atmospheric Research described the scientists’ dilemma this way: >“On the one hand, as scientists, we are ethically bound to the scientific method, in effect promising to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but—which means that we must include all the doubts, the caveats, the ifs, ands, and buts. On the other hand, we are not just scientists but human beings as well.>And like most people we’d like to see the world a better place, which in this context translates into our working to reduce the risk of potentially disastrous climatic change. To do that we need to get some broad-based support, to capture the public’s imagination. That, of course, entails getting loads of media coverage. So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have. This ‘double ethical bind’ we frequently find ourselves in cannot be solved by any formula. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest.”
>>16181179Tree rings only correlate very weakly with temperature. They correlate somewhat well with average temperatures from 1880 to 1960, but since 1960 the relationship diverges. Scientists have some ideas about how to explain the divergence, but they don't know for sure.If tree rings only correlate weakly with temperature, and if we can't even explain deviations in that correlation in the modern era, how can we possibly have any confidence in what tree rings might tell us about the weather in the ancient past?Anyway, the burden of proof is on the tree-ring enthusiasts, not me.
>>16181267>Tree ringsWhy are you so obsessed with one kind of temperature proxy? It is because you get BTFO whenever you discuss any other proxy? Tell me, have you ever heard of the xenon temperature proxy? You have, right anon? You didn't just hijack someone else's argument, did you? You did actually study the subject, right?
>>16181365The fluctuations in mean temperature these methods claim to assess are smaller than the error margins of the methods. They use tiny numbers of proxy samples to infer mean temperature over long periods of time across huge geographical areas. No time machines to go back and see if the proxies are actually accurate.The words of an author on noble gas proxies :>While mean ocean–temperature reconstructions in ice cores have shown promising results and offered new paleoclimatic insight, there is plenty to learn about noble-gas-based tools. Questions remain about the potential complexities of the proxy and ways in which the noble gases measured in ice cores may become decoupled from ocean-heat content. In the future, as much attention should be put into understanding the potential pitfalls of the proxy as in producing new records.
>>16092470Not OP, I know you're being sarcastic but science can't actually say what's 'true'. It can only falsify hypotheses to develop theories. If you want to call that falsification 'truth' you may, but I have an alternative definition that lies in philosophy.

>Medical schools are ‘skirting SCOTUS ruling against afirmative action, report showshttps://www.foxnews.com/politics/medical-schools-skirting-scotus-ruling-affirmative-action-report-shows>'Many in the healthcare establishment... remain ideologically committed to the principle of racial favoritism,' new study saysAn association of medical professionals is sounding the alarm that medical schools across the country are "skirting" the Supreme Court’s ruling requiring admissions programs to abandon race as a factor.Do No Harm, a group of physicians, nurses and other medical professionals "focused on keeping identity politics out of medical education," unveiled new research this week with findings that, despite the high court’s decision in the landmark affirmative action case last summer, "many in the healthcare establishment nevertheless remain ideologically committed to the principle of racial favoritism and reject the virtue of race blindness." "Efforts to game admissions with an eye toward bolstering racial diversity commonly occur under the moniker of ‘holistic admissions,’" reads the study titled, "Skirting SCOTUS: How medical schools will continue to practice racially conscious admissions.""In theory, holistic admissions should mean de-emphasizing the metrics that primarily determine admission to medical school (e.g., GPA and MCAT scores) and placing greater focus on other academic qualifications, personality traits, or professional accolades," it continues.

>>16182039>Seven women>Two menThis ruling is no surprise.>>16181939The Supreme Court doesn't generally send out Marshals to enforce their rulings but lower courts do. Now that the ruling has been made, medical schools can be sued for violating it and lawyers can use the Supreme Court ruling as precedent in the lower courts. If it makes its way back up to the Supreme Court, the defendants are in for a bad time since the court tends to have a very negative view of those who flaunt violating their earlier rulings.
If vaccines are so important and wonderful then how come nobody in the sciences complains when the government imports millions of unvaccinated third world immigrants?

It is widely thought that no other theorem in mathematics has had more valid proofs than the Pythagorean Theorem. Since the time of Euclid it has been proved over three hundred different ways. Not only did Euclid have his own proof, so did Albert Einstein and Presdent James A Garfield. I believe Ramanujan had his own proof. How long will it take to prove the Pythagorean Theorem? 2,300 years ago long. Yesterday long. It’s settled. It’s done.

because there's no way this guy could say something so stupid without being paid. Highly likely this is the case though, because just a few months after attempting to sell SLS as an alternative to Starship, he has a video hanging out with the ULA CEO. I guess youtubers don't need to declare sponsorships when the company is owned by lockheed and boeing.>it's not efficientWhat the fuck does this guy think efficient means? If Starship pans out then it'll deliver 100 tons to the moon. The only thing all the extra refueling missions will cost is fuel. By the end of the mission, you'll still have all those rockets. With SLS/Orion you're throwing away an entire rocket just to send a metal tent to the moon- which we already did 50 years ago! The point of the SLS is to use the ULA to funnel money from the federal government to state governments. No one making the decisions cares if it ever gets to space.Dustin is either a moron or paid, probably both.

The whole point of starship is completing Musk's autistic dreams of colonizing Mars.Starlink and HLS are useful revenue and development programs to help fund and develop this endeavor. Musk does not give a shit if there as an economic case behind Starship - which this thread fails to realize. He will have Starlink paying for it. Alongside his incredibly lucrative F9 venture. This has been known for years.Two more weeks. Trust the plan.

>Can you dispute this?There is good science and let's say fragmented science. It is actually quite easy to see this when considering virtue ethics.Good science tries to reveal more truth about the world we live in using the scientific method. The results are shared with the rest of the scientific community with a rigorous process of peer-reviewed journals. In this process a scientist needs funding and status to succeed.Fragmented or corrupted science is imitating the above process but instead of trying to reveal truth, the goal of the fragmented scientist is to acquire funding and status. In a way he is using fragments of science, not actual science.

>>16181910many of them are degree mills but some of them are not.when I were interviewing for my PhD, I was about to join a group lead by a chink professors at a top 10 universities in the US. his google scholar profile 50% of his publications are the almost exact same shit published over and over again into top R1 journals where he and his friends are editors and chairmans. the other 50% are the grant chasing stuffs like crypto, machine learning in X, Y, Z which are retarded. joining that group means I would had to work on whatever the most trending topic and easiest to get grants at the time even though I know they're mostly bullshit. they're pumping out a few papers every week and a few PhD per year. it's literally a paper and degree mill. meanwhile I also interviewed for more obscure universities where the professor is a pajeet but he actually has much more interesting and comprehensive coherent research program. it's all depend on the professors but my general impression is that the most narccisistic fame hungry pseudo people are plenty in the very top institutions.
>>16181908Researchers at ETH, ENS are well known for their very deep knowledges of their field (usually maths and physics); precisely because there are very few post grads or PhD slots in those unis. ETH isn't like Cambridge and their 400000 different departments.
>>16181925I see what you mean, but did you learn while working on your PhD? Do you feel like you've contributed to science?At least my professor had a very coherent research goal (and of course tried to get grants every now and then) but overall his work was coherent and curiosity driven.
>>16182376I think we would benefit from a sharp definition of a degree mill and a high quality university.

I found two books that appeal to me, but pic rel has very few solutions at the end and they’re not detailed solutions. Has anyone used it in their class?

Their appearance on "60 Minutes" this weekend isn't the first time that Johnson and Jackson's hard work has been showcased. The pair presented their hypothesis at the American Mathematical Society last spring.“For two months we worked together nonstop — during school, after school, at home, at lunch,” Johnson told the Times-Picayune last year. “We had lots of Zoom meetings. Actually, during Mardi Gras break we were still working by Zoom.”When CBS correspondent Bill Whitaker asked Jackson and Johnson if they were math geniuses in the episode's trailer, both shook their heads."Not at all," Jackson denied.
The Pythagorean theorem is the MOST PROVED (by humans that is) of any mathematical theorem ever. A mathematical theorem that has more than one or two distinctly different proofs is uncommon…. but this theorem has been proved — by truly different and unique proofs — several hundred times!!!
