Diamond is characterized by each carbon bonding with 4 other carbons. You can't get a thread out of it.
Not that this is a diamond - the paper doesn't use the word, apparently - but doesn't that depend how you define "thread"? I don't see anything in the summary about the size of these things, so what if they're 100 atoms thick? At what thickness could they no longer be diamond?
In reality, it is far better to vaccinate and never get sick, than it is to self-repair after you get a virus.
Nice soundbite, until you remember that there aren't vaccines for every single disease (or even better, when you remember the analogy between the immune system and a server is a tenuous one at best)
How To Mathematically Predict Frequency of Lightning Strikes Over A Large Area
FTFY. Also, "mathematically"? Well, yes, some rather simple multiplication is involved, but you're also going to have to go out measure precipitation and CAPE.
No, the design and planning were rigorously thought out - certainly rigorously enough to withstand five minutes of bewildered pondering from a Slashdotter after the fact.
The actual problem here is that landing on a comet is really hard.
Why can't it back off and take another run at it?
Ask the guys at ESA. They could probably explain in great detail exactly what the probe is and isn't capable of and why they took the decisions they did after years of planning and cost-benefit analyses. They probably even have graphs.
There's an unintentionally hilarious scene in Godzilla where two soldiers practically scream "1... 2... 3!" in each other's faces, then turn their keys. Firstly, because they're shouting even though there's nothing loud going on, secondly because the keys are placed so close together it would have been easier for one of them to turn both.
Also one of them should have said, "wait, wait... on three, or after 3?"
I wonder if there's a specific regulation on that.
Well, I guess you'd better call paleontologist Jason Bourke and his team of scientists at Ohio University and tell them what a bunch of idiots they are.
Let's say the air outside is 100F and your blood is 98F so you want to cool down.
It was really hot yesterday. I put a sweater on. I got even hotter! Therefore sweaters are always useless.

This is not NEW!
Woah, calm down. No-one said "things that change colour" were new.
And not all wooden bicycles made today are as crude as Collin's.
I'm sure you could have found a nicer way of putting that.

It all sounds fairly standard, as these things go.What has earned it the "machine-learning" distinction?
It's a completely new definition of the word "variant."

Which, if any, particular Disney princesses do you rate as "mindless bimbos"?

sysadmins could emulate inoculation by handing specific details of threats directly to A3
Sounds a bit like... well, like practically all other AV software, doesn't it?
So, basically you welcome viruses and malware
No, of course not. Why would you think that?

The only winning move is not to boot.
Entrepreneur Injects Bitcoin Wallets Into Hands
You know, you could've squeezed "his" into the title. It's not like you have to pay per character.
I thought he was either selling this as a service or going around at night injecting unsuspecting passers-by.

Whoever it is - if there is anyone - they'll be relying on people having exactly that attitude to get away with it.

Gendered bigotry against women is widely considered to be "in bounds" by Internet commenters
Is it? Is it really?
Are you sure it's not only considered as such by a tiny but vocal and offensive minority?
