Yes the connectome is kind of critical. But other than that, sub threshold oscillations can and are being modeled. It also does not really matter that we are digitizing here. Fluid dynamics are continuous and we can still study, model and predict it using finite lattices.

There are some things that are missing, but very clearly we won't need to model individual ions and there is lots of other complexity that will not affect the outcome.

PEAR? Where staff participated in trials, rather than doing double blind experiments? Whose results could not be reproduced by independent research groups? Who were found to employ p-hacking and data cherry picking?

You might as well argue that simulating a human mind is not possible because it wouldn't have a zodiac sign.

Counterpoint, from a complex systems perspective:

We don't fully know or are able toodel the details of neurochemistry, but we know some essential features which we can model, action potentials in spiking neuron models for example.

It's likely that the details don't actually matter much. Take traffic jams as an example. There is lots of details going on, driver psychology, the physical mechanics of the car etc. but you only need a handful of very rough parameters to reproduce traffic jams in a computer.

That's the thing with "emergent" phenomena, they are less complicated than the sum of their parts, which means you can achieve the same dynamics using other parts.

Vor ein paar Jahren dachte ich noch, dass Reddit Aktien in den Händen von Nutzern ja vielleicht ein etwas demokratischeres System ermöglichen könnten.

There is this one YT Series "Jet Lag" where three guys play catch in Europe using Trains. It's a lot of planning, checking what the travel options of the hunted one are, which trains he might take etc. It's a game of strategy, until they arrive in Germany at which point it litteraly becomes a clusterfuck of random trains.

Falls jemand noch die APK hat bitte her damit

Das Problem ist dass die Mechanismen durch die Stoffe tödlich wirken andere sind als die die langfristige nicht tödliche Schäden verursachen. Nimm Zucker. 2kg sind die LD50 Dosis für einen 80kg schweren Mann, und sind tödlich weil Zucker in der Menge dem Menschen Wasser entzieht. Das ist ein anderer Mechanismus als was langfristiger Zuckerkonsum anrichtet, i.e. hoher Kalorien Konsum, Übergewicht und daraus resultierender Diabetes.

Marx war wissenschaftlich genauso fundiert wie die Neoklassizisten.

Das stimmt. Nur LD50 hat hier eben keine Aussagekraft.

Du hast recht damit, dass die Menge von Glyphosat hier zu gering ist um langfristige Auswirkungen auf die Gesundheit zu haben. Aber, und ich sage das rein aus Interesse an stichhaltigen Fakten, der LD50 Wert ist wertlos wenn man ueber langfristige gesundheitliche Auswirkungen reden moechte.

People would just assume you lost a limb, which is not usually visible with your clothes on.

conservation of momentum is only a true, when translational invariance holds. In addition, there may be a countless number of mechanisms by which teleportation changes a persons momentum. E.g. maybe the way this kind of teleportation works is Star Tek-like and your atoms get disassembled and reassembled, meaning they don't need to have the same overall momentum, when whatever is doing the dissassembly stops atoms for dissassembly.
