When only criminals care about privacy, privacy becomes criminal?

Explosives are surely up in revenue now (double, triple?) and the world is using about every drop of production for both (as with every supply chain).

So, a +/- of $3B is a 16% shock to the fertilizer market. That is plus one year of explosives, but if you are going to war, you might need several years, all at once (pow). We are talking about future prices in the grand scheme.

That is in gross, too, we don't know specific chemical or supply bottlenecks: one kink in ammonia might not mean much except for fertilizer production; if ammonia is produced via hydrocarbon extraction, then fertilizer is not only dependent on energy prices, but competing directly with wartime energy supply.

AFAIK, without going nuclear, the biggest booms come from organic chemistry.

Why are fertilizer prices rising? Could it be that fertilizer is the same stuff as gunpowder?

Why is this world so backwards? Humans have musical ability, and cognition requires training (that's opposite of OP).

You don't train on music, you train on technique (and practice music, or play).

You were not born with the innate "cognitive ability" to know what these symbols mean, you must train yourself to recognize them, read them in many configurations, iow stay training or go dumb.

The link OP found is the same link between spending extra on education and the expected outcome.

I really hope that the U.S. sending these weapons to Ukraine is a clearance on outmoded military technology, not a strategic failure.

If this isn't misinformation, I don't know what is.

Lungs? Do they have a buyer in Wuhan?

What is the name for people who call you a heretic? This forum is full of them.

I wish. This is my fifth heretical account. They all end up in the ghostbin thanks to anonymous downvotes. Yet I have never cursed, sworn, or made any false allegations, only drawn out it very precise terms what I consider to be the case.

It's b/c this is a money forum when you get down to it, not really a hacker forum, and this is last place that is really going to shake the alter. Disrupting business is just business, nothing radical about it.

Yet "physicists" are staring deeper into the paradox with the notion that the image is perfectly logical.

When you look through a lens, you will get diffraction around the perimeter. This is the kind of thing you try to reduce, i.e. as an astronomer or optical physicist. But it is there, with any lens, no matter what.

I liken this to the paradox of Godel's incompleteness (they couldn't just call it a paradox ;). The Big Bang is like staring into the paradox of the way we calculate most of the universe. Mathematically, there is a big bang in every moment, if you take the parameters far enough.

Big Bangists see this as the origin of the universe, not the the paradox of Quantum Physics.
