Is computer science a real science?

How bad could global warming get if we just keep going like it's not happening? Will it cap out at some point?

I am working through critical points and finding extrema. I understand that if a point is not in the domain of a function, then it is not a critical point of that function and by definition therefore cannot be an extremum or inflection point of that function — but can a function change signs either side of a point at which it is undefined?

When I test for the sign of the derivative, should I include not only the intervals between the critical points but also either side of points where f is undefined? Is there a non-piecemeal function that increases to the left of a vertical asymptote and decreases to the right of it?

Which vaccines should I take if my goal is to induce autism?

When you do a mission on Khan Academy, will it from time to time show you problems from skills you have mastered, so that you don't forget them?

How does your scientific knowledge inform your politics?

Why do we have subjective experience?

Is mathematics discovered or invented?

How did life on earth begin?

Is quantum mechanics truly random or do we just not understand it properly? Are we missing a piece of the puzzle?

We can only measure by comparison.

Some things can appear out of frame, then we can relate to a frame. Intelligence as ability to reason and think effectively closely relates to subject being framed by the "intelligence" being applied.

/There are many ways to think and there are problems with just one solution.
/How the fuck people can argue about one dimensional number and worry about it so much, when there is so much spaces and colours to apply "intelligence" in.
/Some of perceived intelligence is just "experience". By experiencing problems, you can learn how to solve problems with similarities, you can solve problem by judging it's trait and then having some conclusion, same way as AI does. If you never even seen trace of similar problem or solution, it's quite normal to not understand it.

How the fuck does we as intelligent people have 3 threads about IQ every fucking day?

Is it even worth getting a Paperwhite if I want to read stuff with math notation that was originally in PDF or DJVU format? If not, what tablet should I get?

I want to study phsyics and plan to start by working through my old textbook back from high school. The book is almost 10 years old by now, so I'm worried that some things are outdated by now. Do I need to buy a new book?

When does one pidgeon end and the next one start?

Yes, all that acceleration applied on a rope won't make counterweight fall from a universe. Like guy's really, those retards with elevator's who can deny acceleration should be better be accelerating with that technology against gravity and don't having stuff on that on elevator.

Lads, the site and all its mirrors are down. Where the fuck do I pirate my articles from now?

Why doesn't 4chan have a captcha to stop bot posting?

Wait are you telling me their actually not the same species?!

How does modafinil compare to adderall as a "study drug"?

Are the long term effects of modafinil more benign than the long term effects of adderall/amphetamines?

Any personal anecdotes from people who have taken both?

As a non-student, is there a way to get all the PNAS papers for free?
I mean there are a lot of papers publicly available and some are publicly available a few weeks but then they get restricted.
And I mean anyone with an access to the PNAS papers could just save em all and upload them somewhere, couldn't they?

Correct me because I know I'm wrong.

Compressed air has more energy, uncompressed air has less energy. If Compressed air turns into uncompressed air, then the extra energy in released as kinetic energy i.e heat.

But somehow the opposite is true...
