High school students are told that Pavlov taught dogs how to drool with a bell, because it sounds nice. In reality Pavlov drilled holes into dogs' stomachs and stuck a catheter in there through their abdominal walls, and measured the pH and enzyme content of gastric secretions when he rang the bell. Needless to say the dogs died after the experiment.
It can be exhilarating to know that common knowledge is wrong, and you know the truth, but in thin case, you are the one who is wrong. Pavlov did research on the digestive system, which used catheters as you described. However, when it came to his conditioning research, drooling was the quantitative result that was recorded. And he did use a bell, as well as other stimuli.
I find it bizarre that anyone thinks that TOR was ever secure and private. Great in theory, and we need something to keep the spooks off our packets, but TOR has always been suspect.
And coffee and cigarettes are the new wonder drug. Obvious clickbait headline to get everyone who wants to prove that all those years without flossing were justified, as they get their new dentures.
The whole "Hyperloop" thing is a ridiculous joke that will never, EVER be built.
Such statements are usually wrong. It will be build some time in the future, on some planet where the environment is so bad that air travel is an even worse option. It's basically another example a solution looking for a problem.
What the email actually say are normal intra party politics, back stabbing and intrigue. They have not found corruption, extortion or even racist jokes being forwarded. In fact for an email dump it is pretty innocuous.
Doesn't matter. People have already made up their own fantasy world around this, and no one is ever going to get them to change their minds. Facts are meaningless when you make your decisions based on emotion. Hate and fear being the easiest ways to control those emotions, and people.
Many people don't remember the 90's when the news was full of whatever vomit spewed from this man's mouth. When he cashed in his all his political favors for the millions of dollars that he was given by big corporations after serving in office, I thought we had heard the last of him. Makes sense that the worse of the worse would come crawling out of the woodwork. Thanks Trump.
It's quite frustrating to see my country turn into an Orwellian nightmare. Most voters don't care, either because they don't understand the ramifications of a surveillance state, or because they fall into party lines and turn it into a petty squabble. So seeing a coalition that's equally composed of reds and blues is a very good sign I think. But we'll have to wait and see if this goes anywhere.
Let jump right to the Godwin, and look at how the Nazis came to power. You create boogie men for the common folks to distract them, and then they don't even realize when their own government is the one fucking them in the ass.
Please solve the problem of shopping for groceries if I can't drive to the grocery store and no one from the grocery store can drive to my house.
I'm all for reducing traffic, but I kinda hate starving...
At one time there were small grocery stores every couple of blocks. Only when people proved willing to drive for a simple task like shopping, did they all go out of business and consolidate into a single neighborhood super market that's nowhere that anyone can walk.
... Society is becoming increasingly uninhabitable because some people can't seem to get it through their heads that a society is not just a question of whom you allow in but whom you do not allow in.
Personally I'd like to kick out all bigoted fucktards like yourself. Guess what? I'm not an AC. Paranoid fuck,
What is the deal with every startup or tech company or whatever trying to take the moral high ground on whatever they happen to have found some marketable niche for? "...The most vulnerable people in society"? Give me a fucking break.
Back at you. It is as they say. Our car was towed in San Francisco a couple of years ago, and it was $500 to get it out. Did you get that? $500. Imagine someone working for $18/hour (sarcasm obvious), and needing that car to get to work. Hell, the car might not be WORTH more than $500. There was a couple crying at the pound in that exact situation. That was one of the most depressing and infuriating moments of my life.
Am I the only one who thinks it's wrong to scrutinize what people do during their own time, and then use that information to decide how they are to be treated on company time?
For a normal person, of course. But we are living in a society where the ultra rich control most aspects. If we do not hold them accountable for their use and abuse of their wealth, then when does it end? It's called Noblesse Oblige, where the nobility have a responsibility to the peasants.
You deleted your publicly available profile that you willingly posted? Why do people post public information on the Internet and then take it down? Why did you put it up there in the first place?
I don't. My linkedin account is bogus satire. I hope anyone looking me up has a good laugh. That's about the best use I could think of for it, after getting the umpteenth friend request to join.
of shows aimed for men. Seriously, what is this nonsense? Next up, those who prefer certain skin tones when selecting sexual partners are racist! Only eye, hair, breast, and wallet size are allowed. Men are allowed to indicate they dislike shows just as much as women are allowed to indicate they like them. If anything the system is unfair to men because there are more women than men in the world.
Poor oppressed American middle class white male. Tears of sympathy.
IMDB could separate mens scores from women's; as well as show what shows were highly or poorly rated by the same people who rated a particular show. That would give you a better idea of the value of a rating in deciding if you might be interested in the show.
I suppose that would be useful, but you really can't solve for the general case. For example, my favorite film is Fellini's 8 1/2. It has a very high rating, but I suspect that people who would generally like that kind of film go out of their way to find it and watch it, and rate it. If Netflix pushed it on their front page, I'm sure IMDB would fill up with negative reviews from people who hate B&W films, surreal plots, over dubbing, long films, and generally not be ready for the experience. And then you have every terrible blockbuster start out with an 8 rating, mostly from teens, before the rating slowly falls as others discover the film. Another example is a film like ET, which I despise. It has a high rating, and I understand why. I have no problem with that. But it is still a terrible film. You have to take the audience and distribution into consideration. It also helps to read the top of the "Loved it" and bottom of the "Hated it" to see WHY people rated it the way they did.
About fifteen years ago, when I started hearing the warnings about fishing in certain lakes because of the mercury levels, thats what really did it for me. I'm talking very remote lakes out in the booneys of the west(where I live). The coal pollution travels hundreds and thousands of miles(Seattle gets Chinese coal pollution).
How someone could defend burning coal is beyond me...
With proper filters, coal could be perfectly clean. The problem is that the government has been loosening the pollution rules instead of tightening them. People want cheaper power from plants that are owned by for-profit corporations.
Golden Age? If anything, we are in the Silver Age. The Golden Age would be Atari 2600 and it's ilk, including Pong. That's right. A console that just played Pong.
I'm surprised the concentrations are high enough to only be 4 orders of magnitude off from a person actively taking the medication. I would have expected it to dilute a lot more than that over the course of irrigating a field of crops, picked, processed, cooked, and finally ingested.

If you're not careful you'll trigger a rant about how we spell Aluminum and how we write our dates backwards.
Aluminum? No such word unless you count published typos.
Self fulfilling prophesy much?
New Mystery Science Theater starting this fall on Netflix. Oh wait, that's not what this is about.

If someone like an ISP can remove an encryption, it is not end-to-end encryption in the first place.
If someone can remove the wheels from their bicycle, then it's not a bicycle?

That's been obvious for a while really, and most conservatives have left Facebook/Twitter/etc to avoid supporting them in any way.
Most conservatives have left Facebook? Who votes up this bilge.

But it makes for an easy "two shot" when the characters are not in the same space.

The numbers are verging on homeopathy.
Maybe in cases like this some levels of appeal can be skipped so as to get to the highest authority faster.
A few shots in the chest by the arresting officer would do the trick.
That's always worked in Chicago.
