Also, on a personal note, having a 65% keyboard now for 3 years, I'll go back to a 75% keyboard. I think functions keys and arrows are used way too frequently to spend your time using shortcuts. Also sometimes it becomes a hell of shortcuts in shortcuts.

I didn't say anything of the sort.
> The reality is that likely they are acting based on very different premises from your own, extracted from their own life experiences and those of their ancestors.
That is true. That doesn't imply however that their beliefs draw solid statistical conclusion from those experiences.
For example, take rituals like rainmaking that are intended to change the weather. These were performed over many years and generations, and yet (we presume) never brought about any actual statistical improvement over not performing them. Those people would have experienced that (lack of) improvement directly. And yet they continued to believe it.
So we comply with the ritualistic behavior in a sort of group angst, when we win we feel it worked and when we loose we feel some sort of existential support system.
I should add that there are lots of selection biases and educated guesses in all of this, too. The signal from BH-BH mergers is louder and easier to detect from larger distances. At the same time, NSs are probably more common than BHs, but it's not really clear whether there are more NS-NS binaries than BH-BH binaries because NSs receive kicks from the supernova when they are born but BHs (probably) do not. This may have the effect of blowing apart many nascent NS-NS binaries but leaving the BH-BH binaries intact.
Also, have read today that this discovery backs inflationary theory, how so?
It seems highly unlikely that they could say a specific bh-bh merger was the cause. It seems implied they are triangulating the source, with two detectors?
Scraper of job listings directly from company websites. I found my last day job by using a scraper that visits company websites in search of job listings. Now I've turned it into an app for others to use and access jobs that are posted on company websites (rather than paid employer ads on Indeed or wherever). This gives the job searcher an advantage to find jobs not listed on job search sites and show the company you have taken time/interest to visit their site.
