My metacomplot theory: Big international companies with questionable motives and government support have purposely built structures that fill our digital “drinking water” with complot theories.

Complottheorieën komen doordat de regering stiekem iets in ons kraanwater doet waardoor wij denken dat die complotten echt bestaan.
It’s well known that cats dislike quantum theory because it is full of bad ideas. And if you insist, use the Heisenberg formalism and do not speak the name of you-know-who.

techxplore.com/news/2020-07-… in fact fossil energy is still much more heavily subsidized than wind ever was, as the fossil emitters pay only a fraction, if anything at all, of the hundreds $ per ton it will cost to undo their emissions.

Offshore wind power now so cheap it could pay money back to consumers

The latest round of offshore wind farms to be built in the UK could reduce household energy bills by producing electricity very cheaply.

In fact the same editor more clearly recognizes it as such in a different version of the article (it escapes me why two versions ) theguardian.com/world/2020/j…

Love this thread! And fully agree SVD is special and important even though as a physicist i have a special place in my ❤️ for eigs.

Replying to @WomenInStat
I hope that this thread has helped to grow your appreciation for this magical decomposition. The more you learn about the SVD, the more you will love it. It will take you far on your statistics and data science journey. Godspeed. 31/31

It is time for me to give back to the community. I will double any science sent to this account. You send me one thesis, I will return two. Only doing this for 30 minutes.
