If we really want to avoid antibiotic resistance, we should start by banning their preventive use on cattle. Such treated animals have bowels full of resistant bugs.
I wonder why they don't use MRI or some other brain activity visualization technique; Recalling memory and forging a new story must be more distinguishable there than on body movements.
The headline is shocking when one consider the steep rise of cancer since 1945. If it was luck, then how it could change over time?
But I think the paper could still be a valuable contribution, it is just that this summary ignores the difference between cancer initiation and cancer promotion. Many environmental factors favor existing tumors but do not create them. Hence initiation can be random, while promotion can be environment-induced.
The nation is the sovereign People deciding on laws and having a state to enforce them on a territory (in some rare case like medieval Iceland it can work without the state).
Technology sometimes make the territory part irrelevant, but I am not sure this is a good reason to toss the People sovereignty part just because of that. If the People is not sovereign, then how will be instead?
I like cold, I sleep without a blanket (just a sheet), I walk outdoors without a jacket most of the year, but the only problem I never solved is hands and feet. Exposed to cold, their temperature tend to adjust to external temperature, which hurts with temperature below 10 degree Celsius.
TFA says fingerprint authentication is still better than a PIN. I disagree: the fundamental problem with biometric authentication is that authentication credentials cannot be revoked once they are leaked.
It is difficult to weight events of different nature. Indeed reduced homicide rate in NYC is nice for New-Yorkers, but on the other hand, neo-nazism apparition in Kiev government is a bad news for that area. How do we decide what even trumps the other?
NORAD and Google report different path and different count of gifts distributed. Does that means there are more than one Santa Claus? That would explain how he manages to cover the world within one night.
Yes it is there. I now realize I missed the "more books" link at the bottom of search results. I do not know how you could make it more obvious, but I still missed it.
It is amazing how researchers are able to ignore results from other fields. We know that bone density is not a good predictor for fractures. On the other hand, we know that dairy product consumption is correlated with higher density and fractures.
There is no consensus on how to explain that, but one interesting theory is that dairy products promote bone metabolism (hence the higher density) up to renewal exhaustion (hence the fractures).
Indeed the library is thin. Even public domain book are scarce: I could find Rousseau's Emile or Confessions, but not its Social contract, for instance.
If I understand correctly, very highly cited papers were not published in peer-reviewed journals. Where were they published then? How did they became famous?
Is it an obsolete move? Russia Central Bank decided to fight back against speculators yesterday. Rouble is up again, and Russia Central Bank USD reserves are huge enough (480 billion IIRC) for them to cause losses to speculators for a while.
If they insist, then profit is not their motivation, that would suggest they are state-backed.

I am not sure I understood what problem the camera-on-a-gun fixes.
There is a hidden price for using a MS Phone: your friends will laugh at you for using Windows Phone.

I wish them good luck to them for the EU grant procedure. The procedures are such a maze that usually EU grant experts are required.
Yes, if you consider the conditions required to get a cancer, it seems to be really bad luck:
And I did not even tackled metastasis.

I am all in favor of reducing unacceptable use of Force if this is about dark side of the Force.

You can now go back to the one that made the decision and tell him it hurts the sales :-)

Sovereignty means you are capable of defend your territory. Perhaps he will be killed by pirates before growth hormone cause him cancer.

I assume your comment is a joke, but note anyway that "communist" and "hippy liberal" do not fit very well together.

But rail leaves intact the problem solved by pallets. If pallets have been critical for US army feed, how the USSR managed to do without?
They were defending their own country, rather than on the other side of an ocean.
That remove the oversea transport problem, but moving food and supply to million of soldiers is still a challenge.
Summary says:
the challenge of keeping eight million G.I.s supplied—"the most enormous single task of distribution ever accomplished anywhere,"
I wonder how USSR managed it, since they have an even greater amount of soldier deployed
Cryptome is pessimist. Optimists and pessimists share the same principle: they think they cannot influence what will go on.
