Back when the evidence on the dangers of smoking became indisputable and the medical community overwhelmingly raised the alarm the Tobacco Industry still found a few "experts" to parade in-front of Congress and the media to claim otherwise.The fact that the deep pockets of the Trillion a year Fossil Fuel industry can't get more then %2 of climate scientists to cast doubt on the conclusions of man made global worming goes to show you just how overwhelming the body of evidence is
Assets staying within an exchange are not the issue here. As long as they are staying within the exchange's ledger then it is all just numbers being transferred from one line on the exchanges accounting books to another. The question is how much liquid assets does the exchange have to cover monetary withdrawals. As Greeks found out during the banking crises, numbers on account are meaningless if you can't actually make withdrawals. Daily withdrawal limits of a few hounded EU were placed on the entire banking system to stop them from collapsing until they could be recapitalized by the Greek government. Nobody is going to recapitalize a Bitcoin exchange
Of all the Homo genus we are the only one that did not go extinct. Whatsmore there is so little genetic varation in humans that researchers believe we decended from a population of as few as 2000 individuals. With such numbers humans were basically on the critically indengered list. Why would you go make up some theory about intelligent life inevitably destroying itself when intelligent life on this planet nearly went extint without ever sending a signal that intelligent life existed on this planet
The FDA can't revoke approval but it has slapped the ominous Black Box warning on most hormonal birth control pills. Older women that smoke are highly discouraged from taking them because of the significantly higher risk of cardiovascular side effects. Still most OBGYN would recommed those in the high risk category to continue taking hormonal birth control if their partners object to alternative birth control methods and they would try to carry a unwanted, high risk pregnancy to term because of their beliefs
You don't seem to understand the difference between asset evaluations and monetary wealth. Jeff Bezos briefly became the wealthiest person on earth on July 27 with an estimated net worth of $90.6 Billion and relinquished that title 4 hours later by loosing an estimated 6 billion. That happens with paper assets, not real money! In fact Bezos would love to sell much of his paper assets (amazon stock) to fund his other projects but can't sell more then about 1 Billion worth a year without causing the stock price to tank. At this pace it will take a literal lifetime to liquidate his assets and that's assuming that the Amazon stock doesn't split or go back to climbing . Granted he could simply gift large chunks of his stock holdings but if all the recipients tried to liquidate the stock it would turn into a nightmare for Amazon
Female hormonal birth control can cause serious and even deadly side effects, however they are acceptable in women because Pregnancy carries far higher health risks for women, especially older ones. For males such side effects are very problematic because men don't face any additional health dangers if they do not use contraceptives
The GOP's belief in free market competition is only outweight by their blind hatred of regulations. Unless you want to suspend all resonable thought and actually consider 3Mbs ADSL a real alternative to 50+Mbs Cable for Internet access then there just isn't enough competition in the telecom field for free market competition to suceed. Removing regulations simply hands more power to the Cable monopolies in most of the United States
Those "highest cost of living areas" also have the most job opportunities and things like good school systems. Sure you can live very cheaply in Akron, Ohio but good luck finding a good job there
There is always a tightening of censorship before the twice-a-decade party Congress. The upcoming one is particularly sensitive as President Xi moves to consolidate power and is expected to replace practically all of the Politburo Standing Committee, China's highest governing body
We learn of the shanaigns of our leaders mostly when they are pointed out by the free press and sometimes the political opposition. Neither of those exist in Russia.
Even with both of those in the U.S, the constant reporting on embarrasing leaks and blunders and the criticizem of Trump's actions and policies by the opposition party, you still have a significant portion of the country that steadfastly believes it all to be "fake news"
Many energy heavy industries ramp up production to coincide with hours where electricity is cheap but simply leaving plants idle or heavily underutilized on the chance there might be some free electricity would most definitely be a money loosing enterprise
Actually it does in the form of a kernel security module (and userspace tools) called SELinux. SELinux enforces mandatory access control policies and it has no concept of the traditional "root" super-user with unfettered access to the system. The idea is that each user,program,daemon (services in windows) only has the minimum access to the system it requires to work
That's because what is being pushed thru is not "health care reform" but a partial rollback of the ACA reform. The math is difficult for the GOP in the Senate because there is around 30 senators from States that didn't expand Medicaid and would like funding cut to the program immediately and around 20 from states that did expand Medicaid and will see the vast majority of the expected 22 million looses insurance coverage.
Of course Trump going from celebrating on the White House lawn, to calling it "mean" is not helping things much
Unfortunately much if not most of the savings from automation/offshoring/outsourcing have gone in the pockets of executives/shareholders and the Companies warchest (Apples 40Billion horde comes to mind) instead of being returned to consumers in the form of lower product prices
30% of the entire U.S labor market is low-wage service jobs and that number has been steadily climbing. There just isn't enough jobs up the "ladder" for everyone that works hard and plays by the rules. FYI research shows a strong correlation between higher minimum wage and lower rates of turnover, something about people getting a decent wage makes them more likely to appreciate their jobs. Who knew
How "sovereign" is a state that doesn't have the right to leave the Republic on its own accord, is very much up for debate. At best the sovereignty is shared at worst it was a founding principle of the Republic that went down in flames with the Civil War
Your vote cast in Oklahoma weights more then my vote cast in NY, all for the notion that artificial jurisdictional areas we call states should have a more weighted say in a post that is supposed to represent all citizens equally.
There is a mounting body of research that it is not just genes that are passed on from parents to children but epigenetic markers as well. These markers affect gene expression and suppression and are just as important as the genes themselves. Unlike genes, they are constantly changing due to environmental pressures thus providing a mechanism to pass on a sort of genetic memory of the parents life experience which should help prepare their children for the conditions they are likely to encounter. Research has shown that a mother's traumatic experience during pregnancy goes on affect gene expression even in their grandchildren http://www.sciencemag.org/news...
The hype over T.gondii has been largely driven by popular opinion pieces such as “How Your Cat Is Making You Crazy” instead of high quality research.
In-fact in what they call, "to our knowledge, the most comprehensive assessment of the possible link between T. gondii infection and a variety of impairments in a single cohort," Duke University researchers Karen Sugden suggests that there may be nothing to worry about after all. They report that toxoplasmosis is associated with essentially no behavioural abnormalities in humans.

Now that "organic" has gone mainstream and available everywhere, the image of Whole Foods as a retailer for the "not price conscious" is exactly the image they are trying to shed
All the major private carriers UPS / FEDEX/ DHL operated in the country in question, but they did so only in a few major cities and even in those cities their fees were too high for doing things like simple billing. The USPS could very easily become "profitable" if it moved to geographic area, variable pricing to cut back on service to high cost routes, of course that will put yet another roadblock towards the development of underdeveloped areas of the country and hurt GDP growth

Yeh we are all grateful to Trump for wiping out ISIS in 30 days and unveiling his great healthcare plan that is going to cover everyone for less

Organic food is evil.
So does that make the environmental disaster that is fertilizer run off a figment of my imagination?
"Organic" produce use both fertilizers and pesticides, they just have to be derived from natural sources
Now that "organic" has gone mainstream and available everywhere, the image of Whole Foods as a retailer for the "not price conscious" is exactly the image they are trying to shed
