if the most modern nuclear reactor under construction is still using decades-old designs and still produces substantial nuclear waste, and there are much newer, cheaper, cleaner, safer designs that EXIST NOW that could be used...
then yeah. that seems like a pretty reasonable request to me! why are we not building them again?
'dropping a single' means 'releasing a single' much like 'dropping a deuce' means... you know. and in many cases, the content of the former is the same as the content of the latter
cmon guys you aren't even trying here! from the fucking summary:
"One strong possibility is that people who are already having depressive symptoms start to use social media more, perhaps because they do not feel the energy to drive to engage in as many direct social relationships," said Dr. Brian Primack
cmon guys at least try a LITTLE bit. from the SUMMARY -
"One strong possibility is that people who are already having depressive symptoms start to use social media more, perhaps because they do not feel the energy to drive to engage in as many direct social relationships," said Dr. Brian Primack
"As a noun, this term denotes a single PERSON as distinguished from a group or class, and also, very commonly, a private or natural PERSON as distinguished from a partnership"
The article called it something like 'generalized pain' which I didn't bother to investigate further. But when presented with two possibilities - 'generalized pain' vs 'one third chance of death' I know which one I'm picking.
it's a forward-thinking statement. he means that if we get our kids vaccinated today, in 20 or 30 years, many less of them will be dying from cervical cancer.
YES IT IS BETTER TO KEEP SELLING THE DRUG THAT WILL LITERALLY SAVE THOUSANDS OF LIVES PER YEAR.
did you read the post you replied to? 3645 women DIE EVERY YEAR FROM CERVICAL CANCER.
The vaccine prevents most HPV infections, which prevents most cases of cervical cancer. If every person got the vaccine, it would prevent thousands of deaths per year. (projecting forward twenty or thirty years when the 11-year old girls receiving the vaccine are at the age where they would start succumbing to and dying from cervical cancer.)
so yes, they should keep giving the vaccine out while they investigate it. because a few hundred reports of pain are trivial when compared to thousands of deaths.
the exemption applies to "information concerning individuals" which you would have known if you'd actually read the article.
individual is a commonly used legal term, and it sure as shit doesn't mean dolphins. it means persons. humans. thus, the regulation for medical record exemptions only applies to humans.
speaking of laziness... if you had bothered to read the article, you would see that it quotes the regulation, and that the relevant text is "information concerning individuals." individual is a pretty common & well-defined legal term meaning a human person (or, rarely, artificial persons like corporations). I don't recall any legal precedent granting dolphins personhood, so this is very clearly a misapplication of law.
I don't want to download your stupid app. Just make your website not suck on mobile devices. End of story.
If your app really truly has enough complexity that a mobile site is too slow, and a native app is the only way to get decent performance, your app is probably too complicated. Keep it simple stupid.
Maybe 1% of apps actually honestly need to be a standalone app.
Ok, I will make it easier for you. given these two possible scenarios:
A) unlimited data to youtube (and everything else) B) data cap that applies to youtube (but unlimited data to some other services)
can you imagine that people may watch less youtube videos in scenario B than they would in scenario A? ok, if you can accept that premise, let's move on to...
B1) instead of watching youtube videos, user watches hulu B2) instead of watching youtube videos, user reads cracked articles or watches cable tv or reads a book (less total bandwidth use)
Assuming that it would cost T-Mobile the same to provide a low-bandwidth unlimited-data connection to the entire Internet, (as opposed to a low-bandwidth unlimited-data connection to just their whitelisted sites)
Why would you assume that? If I can only unlimited stream from Hulu and Netflix, but pay for the data to stream YouTube, I may very well watch less YouTube, and there may not be a 1:1 replacement with Hulu or Netflix watching - since YouTube fills a very different role in video consumption. T-Mobile could very well be saving money by excluding YouTube from the free streaming.
There's also the possibility of kickbacks - maybe Hulu and Netflix are paying T-Mobile for the privilege of unlimited streaming. It's certainly a competitive advantage for them compared to other video services. So even if COST is the same, REVENUE may be greater with the whitelist scenario.
the reasonable reader could infer that they were talking about aesthetics. you, on the other hand, are quite unreasonable.
clearly they didn't mean 'it will physically block our roads and we will be trapped!'
again, i ask: how many solar farms surround YOUR town? would you like it if one was erected literally 50ft (from the article) from your house? maybe you wouldn't mind, but are you saying it's unreasonable for these people to feel that way? fuck you.
built within the last few years, i suppose? you are aware that google maps earth view is not realtime, right? the average image on there is 3 years old, but i'm sure some are older.
If you're really that interested in it, you can fire up google earth - it should reveal how old the satellite imagery is.
I don't agree, but they are certainly entitled to their opinion, and if they want to block a FOURTH solar farm from being built around their two horse town, I really don't think we have any room to bitch.
How many solar farms does YOUR town have? less than 3 per 800 people, I imagine.
i can say 'there is no god' and it doesn't require any faith to do so. i can also say 'there are no ghosts' and 'there are no aliens' and that requires no faith.
the burden of proof is on religions. until they have proof, saying 'there are no god, ghosts, or aliens' are the obvious and default rational beliefs.
atheism is the default natural state. any child raised in a religious vacuum would be an atheist.

any criminals that care about it at all, ALREADY HAVE completely secure data & communications.
ever heard of PGP? full-disk encryption?
no, this is all about gaining access to the low hanging fruit. which in the vast majority of cases means joe taxpayer.
at a time whern hundreds of millions of them want to destroy the west

Are you dishonest, or blind?

condoms don't protect against HPV. abstinence or vaccines really are the only way to avoid it.
right there in the article -

individual means person. human. not dolphin. see http://thelawdictionary.org/in...

individual is a commonly used legal term, and it sure as shit doesn't mean dolphins. it means persons. humans. thus, the regulation for medical record exemptions only applies to humans.
the legal definition is more relevant. try http://thelawdictionary.org/in...

um what?
The city in question already has 3 solar farms for their small population of 800 people. Are you doing any better?
