In 1996, a man named Martin Bryant became the worst killer in Australia's history. After walking into a cafe in Port Arthur, Tasmania, he killed 35 people and wounded 23 others with a semiautomatic rifle and another semiautomatic assault weapon.
As a result, Australia enacted one of the largest gun reforms in recent history — and gun deaths plummeted. The changes remain the gold standard for advocates of gun control today.
So much idiocy in so little space. Concerning the technical details of the article, I can't help but wonder if this person is in a similar danger to diabetics who get minor injuries to their legs and are unaware of it due to neuropathy, only to then get infections that lead to eventual amputation. My grandmother was one such person.
This tech seems more like a bridge than a solution to the important problem of inducing nerve regeneration / replacement.
If the political winds are blowing in one particular direction, a voice of discontent that speaks against those winds is pointless. For those of us who signed it, all we did was probably get ourselves some extra attention from TSA and Customs.
That wasn't very nice of you to say. You're also [stupidly] assuming that
1) Survival instinct is trumped by rationality
2) The astronauts have complete faith in SpaceX's ability to correctly identify and solve the problem that didn't show up on their boards at all
There is no reason why these people can't be of two minds about this topic.
I thought the same thing. If only I had mod points for you. I wonder if the guys riding the Falcon 9 whose explosion is yet to be understood are collectively thinking, "oh crap...".
The MAME dev community has always been very up front that the MAME license has no attribution of rights to the ROMs themselves. The emulation code is there's and they can do anything they want with it. I have read elsewhere that emulation is perfectly legal (except when it comes to Macs for some reason) and so I don't see where publisher permissions are the least bit necessary.
My son in 6th grade is doing the math work and it's just atrocious how badly basic multiplication has been mangled. For decades American kids learned math fundamentals by rote and we came out of those classes knowing exactly how to do it. Now the math problems are infrequently used such that there is no "drilling and killing" of any fundamental concepts. The whole thing sucks.
I'm a low-level manager at a great company as well. For leading a small team of analysts, this is probably not a bad place for me to be. However, I also find myself in need of a web developer who can bring database skills into the mix as well. Such talent will likely cost more salary than I am making, but other people such as my manager and the HR person are concerned that this is an unworkable situation. My response to this is a heartfelt "why?".
If the person bringing special talents to my team is worth x dollars on the general market, what possible difference should it make that he earns more than me in his particular role? My suspicion is that this attitude plays a huge role in attracting morons to ever more influence over other people to chase that dollar when what would be best for the company is for them to chase success in the form of individual contribution.
Because poor people also need some place to live, and they are just as deserving of a beautiful environment as anybody else. Nobody deserves to live in East Palo Alto.
It sounds like intelligence is being used as a proxy for subject matter knowledge, and is being wrongly compared to research skills. Being smart enough to do research rather than throw your arms up in the air and saying "it can't be done" is an important feature of emotional intelligence.
I think what the article means to say is that people think they are experts when they aren't. Too bad people writing about "intelligence" don't know how to write about it effectively.
Finally, a way to buy stuff online without cash needing to change hands. You could have some sort of an account id - let's call it a credit card number.
My understanding of HIV is that when it infects human cells, it hijacks the tRNA (iirc) so that the human cells continue producing more HIV viruses. With the article describing synthetic antibodies binding to HIV, the virus is unable to infect human cells. So this would seem like a race condition where the antibody needs to get to the HIV *before* HIV has a chance to infect a human cell. How can this happen reliably?
From Google: "Measles is a highly contagious viral disease that can be very serious or even fatal. It begins with a fever that lasts for a couple of days, followed by a cough, runny nose, and conjunctivitis (pink eye)."
This isn't hard to figure out. The people who choose not to vaccinate are tantamount to a loaded gun waiting to go off. Those same people intentionally choose to become likely carriers and in committing their act of irresponsibility, put the herd-immunity into a compromised situation. More distressingly, the argument they use that MMR vaccines are somehow implicated in autism has been thoroughly debunked.
In my opinion, these people should be tried for manslaughter. for going into public places in an non-immunized state.

"Happy Birthday to You" is still in contention as copyright material. It's ridiculous.
That way it could only have ended peacefully.

You didn't dispute anything I said. So yes, I read the article...

I've been trying to teach my wife vlookup in Excel and it's futile. API coding? Puleeze

How does the live TV streaming work? Is there some sort of a browser plugin they make you use to stream local channel 2, 3, 4, etc?

I would have thought most (all?) of those apps were compiled for ARM.

Regular coffee pot + 1 coffee bean grinder + 1 lb bag of beans = 1 possibly recyclable / compostable bag plus a hundred + cups of coffee.
Keurig setup + 1 kcup insert = 1 cup of crappy coffee plus an unnecessary environmental impact in the form of an non-reusable cup.
Why in this day and age are we engineering waste INTO products when we should be engineering waste OUT of the product? It doesn't make sense.

What on earth is "an Uruguay syndrom", and why does google have no idea either.
I googled "Uruguay Syndrom" and the first hit takes me back to Slashdot. I'll just keep googling until I get a different result.

Even trying to go back to version 7u71 doesn't work now. Never had java problems until this update. YMMV.
