The only real alternative right now is DDT, and whilst the human toxicity of DDT is a bit exaggerated in the public imagination, its still not exactly a great solution and has awful environmental effects. Worse, the bloody mozzies are developing resistance.
What are folks to do? Reject it because of a theoretical concern about gene propagation whilst theres a very concrete concern about the alternatives? Malaria is a thief in the night who steals entire generations. Forget HIV, malaria is the #1 health issue in the world (Although while we are there, Malaria is a death sentence for HIV afflicted folk. Which in africa makes it serious double jepardy)
This isn't going to last 5 minutes in the courts. Its just plainly obvious that its unconstitutional. I'm baffled that the people who are supposed to know this stuff , the legislators, keep screwing this up.
This isn't a left wing or right wing thing. Its just a straight up retarded thing.
Congratulations, you've noticed that vaccines do not protect 100% from infection. They are in fact less than 100% effective, but more than 0% effective.
Yep, and to make it worse, Immunocompromised folks, HIV, Lukemia, and so on, won't necessarily have immune systems capable of using the learned immunity from the vaccine AND are quite likely to die from things like the flu. So they are even more dependent on herd immunity.
Nonsense. FTTH was always the more expensive option because it didn't need mini-exchanges having to be built on every street corner. More to the point I can guarantee you would have received fibre earlier because switching to the more expensive and slower plan required stopping work and renegotiating all the contracts again. This plan had literally no upside
The proliferation of channels was more a result of the move to digital Tv than anything. The problem with analogue tv was it was limited as to how many channels you could pick up before side band interference made viewing implausible
Climates are not simple systems , I think everyone agrees on that much. Knowledge of CO2s infra-red properties leading to the greenhouse effect has been around since about the 1870s (and scientists then where quite worried about it particularly in context to the widespread use of coal industry and oil lamps), the question has really been "how much have we put out there (almost more an economic question) and how does that extra thermal load affect things, the answers to which started emerging in the 1970. I think the pop science publications made more significance out of the whole ice age cycle than actual research scientists did.
I think your underestimating how much suffering malaria causes. Malaria is nasty stuff. It's super painful , leaves you completely unable to get out of bed , you run huge fevers , and because the body can't really mount an antigen defence against it , you'll get it over and over and over again. The end result is it paralyses entire regions by making huge portions of the workforce perpetually sick and this has contributed hugely to Africa's economic misfortunes. A society where almost everyone of age can work is a society where people can work their way out of poverty and that means cleaner water , better tended environments and cheaper government
He's a spineless fool who lives in terror of the ultra-conservative wing of the party despite it being obvious he doesnt actually care much for their ideology Turnbull would have known full well that moving the NBN from fibre to the home to fibre to the node would turn the whole operpation into a dumpster fire, but he did it anyway because abbot wanted to dismantle the entirety of labors work. So now we're stuck with a half bbake garbage network for whom most people will never get speeds anywhere near fibre.
his story would see the company dragged over the coals if it happened here in Australia.
Not if its a small business. The boss needs no justification at all if the employment was less than a year. Six months for a larger business. You can thank Howard for that bit of fuckery.
Depends where they are. In Australia claiming you can't get a refund for dead pixels is not only NOT covering their ass , but the ACCC issues silly money fines well North of a mil for failing to inform users of their right to a repair refund or replacement.
Logo was a great idea but became prominent at a time when kids where starting to realise computers could do better. The C64/Amstrad/Sinclair/BBC/Apple-II all had Basic which could be coopted into doing real games and thanks to PEEK POKE and CALL provided a springboard for the more enterprising kids to start poking around with machine code..
Logo however was a decent language. It was list processing, functional (It was, in fact a lisp derivative of sorts) , and generally taught good code hygiene. It didnt have gotos.
I had a teacher in my first year of highschool who insisted Logo was the language of the future. I thought he was an idiot, because clearly it was Pascal. Welll...... more the fool on both of us. Retrospectivly, I was right.... sort of.... Pascal taught the sort of programming that you do with C,C++ (Turbo was object oriented) and so on. Logo taught the sort of programming you do with Lisp, Scheme, and the like. It would have been better if he was right, in the scheme of history the lisp family are clearly superior languages than the algol family (Pascal/C/C++/etc) but they just never took off quite the way C and C++ did. The torch is still held up to some degree by Haskell/Erlang/Clojure/etc but they still are very much minority languages, and we're all the poorer for it.
for example, there's far more murders in usa than there are convicted murderers - and same applies to all other kind of cases.
Theres also an inverse at play with this shocker as well.
Cop decides he's certain the husband killed the wife. No evidence, just "He seems the sort". So they they tell the guy "We're going to get you the death penalty if you dont take the plea bargain". The husband may well be innocent, but at this point it doesnt matter anymore. He's fucking terrified of spending 10 years in solitary hell followed a visit with the grim reaper, so he takes the plea bargain, Manslaughter and fifteen years , out in ten, to save his own life.
And meanwhile the murderer got off scot free, because some other poor sap took the fall.
"absolute proof"? Lol, you loonies are hilariously deluded.
Project Veritas provides proof, ON VIDEO, of election rigging in the DNC and the leftists can't refute it so they just claim its faked even though they can't provide any proof of it being so. Yet, some vague rumor about what Trump is doing comes up, and all of a sudden it's "absolute proof".
Why would I believe a serial liar like OKeefe who keeps getting caught again and again and again fabricating evidence for his shitty witchhunts, when multiple enquiries by people who are actually domain experts have said that no, there is just no evidence at all of it.
I kind of feel sorry for the people that brought his whole line about fighting money in politics and draining the swamp.
Sure he fired all the policy wonks, but now he's just got a white house full of money-in-politics and nobody knows what they are doing, and all the people who would normally say "No Mr President thats an extremely bad idea" to an incoming greenhorn have been fired or sidelined. I mean it was obvious to me what was gonna happen, but i've been around the block a few times and seen plenty of similar types go into govenor roles and completely screw the whole place up. These alt-right people, I just dont know about . Pepe memes and actually believing fox-news conspiracy theories does not make for a particularly useful political movement.
Yep. I could hand over my password. But they'll have a hell of a time getting past the SSO codes (Unless the NSA has cracked that system somehow)
But I'm going to give the US a pass over the next 4 years. I have nothing to hide, but on a matter of principles I wouldnt give my own govt my passwords, and I sure as hell wouldnt give a foreign govt them.
Recursion is undesirable because it doesn't scale - you run out of stack pretty quickly.
Badly designed recursion doesnt scale. However well defined problems that require it and have well understood limits, its fine and often optimal, particularly if the algorithm can be tail recursed.
There isn't really ever any need for recursion anyway as there's nothing you can do recursively that you can't do non-recursively.
Yes, but many algorithms will still require a stack and become incredibly more complicated and slow, such that there are literally no benefits.
No, he's doing exactly what he said he would do. Unfortunately people where so distracted by the whole "grrr hillary email server" nonsense they failed to actually look at what Trump was actually saying he'd do.
The chickens have come home to roost people. Perhaps next time folks wont get so hung up on manufactured outrage and pay attention to whats really going on.
Its not just bad science, its bad theology, because its essentially accusing god of being a liar.
Like, why would god plant fake evidence everywhere. Why is he lying. It doesnt say in the bible that gods a liar, and if he is, why assume the evidence is a lie when he could have just made some nonsense up in the bible.

Here in Australia we just call it "The eastern most state".
But its cool, as long as they don't declare independence its all fine. One country, many systems.
(They call us "West island")
Theres also an inverse at play with this shocker as well.

As far as my casual browsing of that site goes, its up there with Infowars, Naturenews and other crackpot "just make shit up" websites.

Well you'd know the answer to that if you Read The Fucking Article.
You know, kind of like what she was doing.
We fired our agile transformation coach. What a goddamn bureaucrat.
Its not just bad science, its bad theology, because its essentially accusing god of being a liar.

Creationists are a discredit to their own faith.
On what grounds? This seems like a pretty reliable observation, unless you think the zircon in the moons soil came from somewhere else.
Which is kind of a weird thing to believe.
