"It turns out that we have only a vague idea as to where Earth got its water, and it will take a long time until we have any hint of this life-giving resource on worlds orbiting stars thousands of light-years away."
I have no idea of water specifically but I thought all/most mater after hydrogen and helium was made by stars. But regardless of where it comes from it is a very common material in space so there is little reason not to assume that a planet that has the right conditions for liquid water would not have it.
"Physical or psychological injury or damage." Of course most of the time a doctor needs to choice between a number of lesser and greater harms. But if a greater harm also produces a greater profit for the doctor, I know which one I would want him to legally be bound to choose.
Is it really? I don't imagine that the hours would even close to approach a part time job. You are only maintaining a very small amount of electronics. Getting paid $40K a year for re-soldering a handful of wires is hardly a small amount.
"I like a challenge, and since all of my goals outlined since my hire date have been met and exceeded, I have a lot of down time. So I wrote the application." "The entire source was developed on personal equipment off company hours."
If you have so much down time on company hours then you why not work on it during company hours? Part of getting paid a salary, and in particular server administration, is that you can have a lot of free time if you do your job correctly. You are supposed to fill this is useful projects not play WoW on company hours and then work on projects very related to your job off companies hours and ask them to pay you extra for that.
But regardless, salary workers in general do not get to do contract work as well for the company on the side (and there really is no off company hours in a salary type job). They are paying you a set fee for all the work you do. If you have too much work or are more useful to the company then your pay warrants then ask for a raise but I do not think that asking to be paid for completing a project is to way to go.
Ya, people who say that conspiracies cannot happen and secrets cannot be kept have never studied history. More then a few things have come to light involving entire government branches and multiple big companies that kept secrets for decades (and of course any that lasted longer then a normal human life are less likely to come to light after that).
But disabled people can get it in general, sure some of them will be turned away by a bug in the device, or because it is working perfectly and they are children.
But would you feel safe taking a drug that the only testing done on it was that they used it on a lot of people and then let them out into the wild to see what happened, and they returned a pretty good statistical correlation?
That is not good science, that is not even good statistics.
But that would never work. This group is completely different form all other groups where contracting AIDs is concerned. They believe that they are now potentially immune, meaning we have every reason to believe they will act completely different from any other conceivable group on the earth bar other test patients who where given a placebo for HIV.
SO how do they do the final testing of the vaccine? They are starting human trials, but does that mean that eventually they are going to give this vaccine to someone and then inject them with HIV and see what happens?
How much money do you pay patients to be injected with a deadly virus that you "think" that you have a vaccine for now.
Did not read the original article, but I would assume that it likely changed it density as well. Meaning that lots of liquid core could have been pushed to the surface making the planet appear bigger and more massive from the outside.
"which weighs more than twice as much as all of the others put together" I wonder if this guess is still correct. I would assume this weight was appropriated by assuming the planet had a solid core?
It was not the words themselves that I was talking about. The basic principals (aka the English words) are pretty good, and probably what you would actually want IRL. But the implementation is the stupidest most useless implementation I have ever seen. Robots operating with systems similar to the books could never operate in the real world.
The problems that occur in the robots following As. Laws are completely ridiculous. In the real world, programming does not work that way and even if it did every robot made would break down within a days time when it encounter one of the rule paradoxes that characterize his novels.
I never said no free sites existed, just that some of them charged. Hell, right now I could give you a list of free websites that do not use ads, but that does not mean that todays internet is ad free . And also often those free BBSes cost the runners a whole load of money to run and I would hate the internet reduced to company sites an and those willing to shell out hundreds of dollars to run a website.
And they either ran on the backs of extreme hobbyists (like I already mentioned), or many of these free BBSes asked for donations (aka they ran some from of ad asking for them).
I am not saying that no BBSes did not exist without outside revenue coming in, and I am, not even saying that everyone without outside revenue had to pay loads and loads of money to run their BBS, but many did.
Ya, I have seen similar science publications that did not even say that women were equal to men in math and still everyone were claiming that they were.
Specifically in this one case they claimed that their study proved that leadership make good mathematical brains. They studied one culture where women ruled and found that the women were equal to the men in that culture in maths and then they studied one man dominated society and found that men were far ahead.
Of course the news site decided that that meant that women are equal to men in all ways. And of course that is the most flawed way you could interpret those results.
So, in closing, a lot of studies have been conduced in a lot of different cultures with a lot of different roles switched and as far as I can ascertain their is more evidence then ever to say that men are better at Math and math related fields. And if anyone says differently they are probably being far to hasty and are so sold on equality and uniformity that they do not care what the science shows.
I agree but not sure if it will do any good. I do not think even friends are all that likely to really believe that a friend is going to actually go through with a suicide no matter how emo they are acting. And form what I have seen 50% of all high schoolers cut their wrists all the time so I could see either there being a lot of false positive or no understanding until it is too late.
But it is not like this is going to make it worse, seems like a worthy undertaking by FB.

The answer to your question is in the very next line of message you quoted.
"Of course most of the time a doctor needs to chose between a number of lesser and greater harms."
"It turns out that we have only a vague idea as to where Earth got its water, and it will take a long time until we have any hint of this life-giving resource on worlds orbiting stars thousands of light-years away."

"Physical or psychological injury or damage."
Of course most of the time a doctor needs to choice between a number of lesser and greater harms.
But if a greater harm also produces a greater profit for the doctor, I know which one I would want him to legally be bound to choose.
The better question is, who considers MW3 as having a good plot?
Well I think there is a big difference between some specific version of the oath and the meaning behind it. (Do No Harm)
Personally I think that all Doctors should be legally bound to "Do No Harm".

I might be wrong but I don't think that most countries make it against the law for vending machines to contain bugs that prevent a sale.
But would you feel safe taking a drug that the only testing done on it was that they used it on a lot of people and then let them out into the wild to see what happened, and they returned a pretty good statistical correlation?

They believe that they are now potentially immune, meaning we have every reason to believe they will act completely different from any other conceivable group on the earth bar other test patients who where given a placebo for HIV.
NO, I think you technically always need a real control group receiving a placebo for it to be real science.
SO how do they do the final testing of the vaccine?
They are starting human trials, but does that mean that eventually they are going to give this vaccine to someone and then inject them with HIV and see what happens?

No, They are completely naive.

In the real world, programming does not work that way and even if it did every robot made would break down within a days time when it encounter one of the rule paradoxes that characterize his novels.
Probably the same people who consider number lines of code written per hour as a good metric to evaluate their employees productivity.
the title says it all.
"Seriously - what are the chances of these chemicals migrating upward through a couple miles of solid rock?"
Well that is the entire point of the fracking in the first place, to get chemicals to rise to the surface through miles of rock.
No its not, not if you make $10 a month.
