Permafrost mercury hysteria is shameful corrupt pseudoscience
It seems that other climate skeptics haven't dedicated much attention to this particular recent mania but I was intrigued and disgusted, so here is my reaction. *You need about 1,000 tons of the Arctic soil to extract this much (43 grams) of mercury.* National Geographic and most other science news outlets have informed us that there is a lot of mercury underneath the thawing Arctic permafrost and when it thaws, all of us will get poisoned to one extent or another. Will we? The popular articles build on an article in Geophysical Research Letters, Permafrost Stores a Globally ... more »
Pence displays U.S. arrogance at Olympics
Many years ago I went to an international peace conference in Athens, Greece. I met a Greek journalist who told me the story behind the founding of the Olympics. At that time Greece was full of city-states which were all walled off from one other in a constant state of war. So they came up with the idea of the Olympics and each year which ever city-state won the most athletic events had to return home and tear down their walls. It was created as a disarmament policy. Pence and Trump are violating the spirit of the Olympics by using the event to justify more military weapon wal... more »

Will Russia's New Armata Tank Come Loaded with a 'Super' Gun?
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Europe* The history of a project that has taken years to bear any fruit. The 125mm D-91T or 2A66 “Anker” tank gun was expected to defeat almost any NATO tank when it was designed. It incorporated numerous advanced features in its design and the design of the ammunition for it. Despite its numerous advantages, it never was adopted due to it’s increased cost and the lack of backward compatibility for earlier ammunition. Now that Russia is fielding the 2A82-1M gun on the T-14 Armata, what can we learn from the last serious project to make a “super” 125mm g... more »

Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*-by Noah* When President Bone Spurs announced that he wants an old Soviet-style military parade down Pennsylvania Avenue, my first thought was that the only military parade he should get is the one that we may have to resort to. That would be the sad spectacle of the military having to march into the White House and physically remove Trump and all his vermin. If it was up to me, Trump and his staff would all then get new accommodations at GITMO. Obviously, he's been reading his Hitler and Stalin books again. He fondly hits the playback button in his mind to film of the massive d... more »

Probabilities of one-time events don't have error margins
Quanta Magazine's puzzle columnist Pradeep Mutalík wrote an amusing and sensible text When Probability Meets Real Life with three probability puzzles. They're a bit more ordinary and less controversial than the Sleeping Beauty or the Monty Hall Problem. But they touch some general principles, too. He says that scientifically inclined people often try to apply probabilistic reasoning in their lives. It's not perfect but it may be helpful. In the first problem, Mutalik shows that Bayesian, perceived probabilities often change as new evidence arrives. Someone sadly fell out of an air... more »

For Congressional Republicans Trump Created The Ultimate Rock And A Hard Place
Yesterday, a prominent Democratic campaign manager read the post about the Democratic win in Missouri Tuesday and said, relieved, "so I guess there's a wave coming after all." Only people in a state of delusion, I told him, think otherwise. That state legislative seat that flipped from red to blue, was a district that Trump won by around 28 points. A 27 year old Democrat won it by 4 points. That's quite a swing. Few Republicans would survive swings like that in their districts. Not Paul Ryan or Kevin McCarthy-- only Scalise from the leadership. But no more Republicans in Iowa, New ... more »
We the People, or We the Voters?
Our Constitution, as amended, requires that every ten years the federal government reallocate seats in the House of Representatives to the states “according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons.” This provision leaves little room for interpretation. It is part of what my colleague Sandy Levinson calls the “constitution of settlement.” But like much of the constitution of settlement, this provision settles certain questions while leaving other closely proximate ones unsettled. The settled part is this: We do not apportion representatives to states on ... more »
