> There were around 2.5 million papers are published in 2015. So if you are going to freak out over this, you're probably the same type of guy who thinks it safer to drive a car than fly somewhere.
If this were a controversy over some regional carrier completely dropping the ball on their maintenance and inspections, then such a conclusion would be entirely warranted. The entire FAA inspection regime would be called into question.
The same is actually true for the USDA if you actually have half a brain cell. Certain foods like chicken should be treated like a deadly biohazard always.
I can and have replicated the experiments in that area. This is part of any decent public school education. What you are suggesting is that we should take anything on faith that is more complex than that.
I became an atheist not so much of my disbelief in the supernatural but of my mistrust of mere mortals that were the gatekeepers of the relevant knowledge. I knew that they were fallible and corruptible.
Why should I hold science to a lower standard than religion?
> Yes, it was good they were retracted. That's science working to expose the people who don't follow the rules.
That only works if you are allowed to be a heretic. If you are expected to always follow blindly (like Tyson and Nye suggest), then such investigation isn't going to occur.
That attitude should be encouraged NEVER. It doesn't even matter if you're a "mere layman" expected to just passively swallow whatever the current scientific establishment comes up with.
If a middle school teacher or a museum curator can't manage not alienating people, try employing a magician.
Science today is having it's own religious fit of a protest march. it's truly fitting that this is being posted today. Science very much needs heretics. Zealots like Tyson and Nye don't help the cause of science by trying to be inquisitors.
America is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to automotive insanity. This idea that places outside of America are some bikers Utopia is just bullshit. Short of Amsterdam, most of Europe is not that bike friendly. Their urban roads and freeways are full of psychos in cars and trucks just like the US is.
...except biking to work is not the ONE AND ONLY OPTION. There are a wide variety of ways to get exercise,
I am also highly skeptical of any study that claims that there aren't diminishing returns or risks of overdoing it. I know people that do sports medicine in pro sports. They would find those ideas shocking and dangerous.
If it smells like propaganda for some other agenda, it probably is. Extreme claims are usually a dead giveaway.
You mean a computer can store much more data and crunch through it easier? There is nothing sad about that. That's pretty obvious really. Medical diagnosis is one of the key examples of AI from academia.
My condition is unknown by many oncologists. Forget about general practitioners. Individual conditions may be rare but there are enough of them that they impact a lot of people collectively.
Not everyone is House. Sometimes you have to know when to punt it to a specialist, or even a specialists specialist, or to Mayo.
A machine can serve as a handy specialist, or at least an automated way of having the patient diagnose themselves.
So? Mayo is disagreeing with a bunch of GPs? No big surprise there. There are rare conditions that your average GP has never heard of whereas Mayo might have one of the top 5 experts in the whole world that treat that obscure condition.
Democrats fact checking? You must be joking. They can't even tell when something is obvious OBVIOUS satire. They just run with it because it panders to their biases.
Liberals continue to kid themselves. They think they and their idea are far more popular than they are. CNN helped with this during the election with their polls. They tried to make Trump look unelectable but that was a big lie. It's the big obvious lie that completely destroys their credibility.
Now of course both parties drink their own kool-aid far too much. Liberals have just taken it to a new level.
People have hated Hillary since she was first lady. Those people hated Hillary before she got the nomination. They didn't need any Russian meddling to hate her.
Then many people simple aren't Democrats and they certainly aren't socialists. Much of the electorate is always up for grabs. You can't depend on your name got get into the White House. You have to actually earn it.
We already new Fox News was garbage. That's not news. There's no point in bringing it up. The fact that CNN and the Guardian have become just as bad is something new. Or perhaps it isn't and we're finally noticing it now.
CNN helped confirmed new information. Namely, nearly the entire industry is corrupt and little more than party shills for one side or the other. They all ignore stories or information that contradict their chosen narrative. Their stories are at best distortions if not blatant lies.
The more you know about a story, the more obvious this is.
Forget "globalist". He's just an unhinged idiot that would rather believe in an insane conspiracy theory than believe his party's anointed one is anything but perfect.
He's just engaging in classic blame deflection.
Some disturbing cult of personality nonsense too...
Insurance paid the bulk of my "sick" costs. Actual paid costs were far below billed costs. What I have paid has come out of savings specifically designated for medical expenses.
Having that to save was the result of not living life to my credit limit.
That tripe? I know people much poorer than you that blow their money in stupid ways and go out of their way to make the worst financial decisions possible. Oddly enough they even manage to deal with the odd hiccup too. They aren't nearly so much in need of your pity than you might think.
Oh puleeeze. A museum school trip isn't going to be diddly. It may be ONE trip to Starbucks or the fast food establishment of your choice. When I got the free lunch, we were able to afford the school field trips.
Getting REALLY sick is a matter of covering your insurance cap for the year. That cap is on the order of an expensive house or car repair. If you can't manage to get sick, you can't manage to maintain your possessions either.
Even the working poor can manage this. What's your excuse?
We survived the last real estate crash by investing sensibly, not getting too greedy, and ensuring that we had a stable position. Just like with your own personal finances, there are very simple time tested rules for avoiding trouble. Some people just want an excuse to not be responsible for themselves.
Now as far as stocks go... if you are worried about a "market crash" then you simply aren't playing the long game.
The funny thing about being responsible is that eventually you end up with much more disposable income and a more secure financial position than your idiot friends that "just had fun".
Very few people bother to account for this stuff despite the fact that there are no secrets here. Americans are encouraged to spend like there's no tomorrow and many of them do just that. They refuse to save. They push themselves so they have no margins and then inevitably they have problems. This even goes for people who make six figures in flyover states.
A replacement is great if it's an actual replacement. All of the attempts to replace X were quite blatant in their desire to not actually fully replace X. Their proponents are fixated on these 20 year old ideas of "X hating" and notions of what the requirements are for a GUI in home and corporate environments.
They are gravely out of touch with what people expect out of their desktops now.
They're like the ultimate neckbeards, the exact opposite of mainstream.
Even as a mere desktop user, I find that any of these modern init systems turn Linux machines into something like Windows where the machine isn't actually ready to use when the UI has loaded. This can be particularly annoying in an appliance like an HTPC.
Again, it's another solution in search of a problem adding additional complexity where 99% of people didn't ask for it and don't need it and probably don't want it. It is much easier to screw up because of this which is one reason why I haven't tried to debug/fix my HTPC issues. Mucking about with it would be too much risk for a minor nuissance.
It just looks like fucking amateur hour nonsense that I fled from Microsoft to get away from.
Are you fucking joking? Some of us have done this stuff for years without any problems. If you are trying to manufacture a problem that Wayland actually solves, look elsewhere.
I can understand why the X developers are fed up with X.
Actual end users, not so much.
This is also a great example of the implication that something obscure is "mainstream". There is nothing mainstream about something new invented to solve problems that don't actually exist while creating a batch of new ones.
The fact that I am a long time Linux gamer and HTPC user is WHY I despise the idea of Wayland and it's stupid little fanboys.
It's one thing to support DRM and commercial software and quite another to gimp the entire OS in order to bend over backwards for the entertainment industry. Apple has managed to avoid this. There's no reason Linux can't do the same.
I've been running commercial software on Linux longer than some of you have even used it. Oracle goes way back as does gaming even. Even DRM protected entertainment content has long been supported (on both MacOS and Linux) without corrupting the OS to suit one single industry of limited significance.
I thought it hilarious that Unity was what was mentioned in the summary. Unity is not even remotely close to anything "mainstream". if anything, it rightfully gets criticized for being too far removed from what people have already become accustomed to on every other GUI platform out there.
Canonical rightfully gets criticized for being stupid. This is just an attempt to deflect from that. They don't get to act like an abusive monopoly. Someone else can (and will) step in.

In cancer terms, this is like calling a Bone Marrow Transplant "prevention".

Manufacturing is typically steady work. On the other hand, skilled trades can have peak and low seasons depending on the trade and your location.
