The compelling reason for ISS being built was to gain thousands of manhours of experience with how the human body behaves in microgravity. As NASA turns over its manned missions to the more adventurous private sector, this information will be worth the gold we spent to get it.
No, it's Shirley spending too much time on her Obamaphone. A generation earlier when Shirley's mother spent too much time on the big black wall phone, that was a moral panic too.
The universal excuse for not trying anything innovative. It's so much easier to do nothing until we get bypassed by other countries, which we can then flame for "stealing" "our" tech.
One of the first rules of database design is to capture every piece of data only once, and then keep it secure. I don't want to have to tell every new doctor I visit my mediacal history all over again from the beginning, and then keep regurgitating it everyyear for every practitioner. If information like my age when I had measles is important, we can't keep running the risk that I will start getting the date wrong as the years go by.
I want an online medical jacket that contains my entire history, accessible to every doctor who needs to know my list of medications, including those that were tried and given up on, so that I don't have to keep imperfectly remembering whether Dr. Fuzzbucket stopped prescribing Spenditol-X because it didn't work for me, or because I had an allergic reaction.
And no, because hackers were able to attack Target does not mean that keeping online records secure is impossible. My bank and my brokerage have operated online for years, so why can't healthcare?
This is actually an example illustrating my point. China's force-draft industrialization gave them a problem with coal smog and CO2, so now they in the lead on nuclearizing their way out of the problem. We can barely finish a couple of plants we started in the Seventies.
When the wars start, remember all this when I'm shoving a nine-inch stiletto into your left eye socket, you fat ass disgusting piece of shit. All of you are going to DIE and I'll personally take as many of you out as I possibly can FOR THE GOOD OF MY SPECIES.
Fortunately for the rest of us, your side is not the one with the guns and the organization.
China has safety rules just like everyone else. What it is not encumbered by is an anti-technology movement with access to the court system so it can stall every project into infinity by arguing its own dystopian fears.
No. The police work for an agreed sum, and they have already earned their retirement income. Do not steal from them.
Yes, because instead of a "blue wall" of cops protecting bad cops from the consequences of their actions, cops would gladly inform on each other to protect their pensions.
This phone was bought at a mall store, and the wife had a receipt detailing exactly that. But by that time, the bacon had already hauled her husband off in chains - according to the TV News report, without telling him what they were looking for or even reading him his rights.
I'm fully aware of the colchicine affair, in which the FDA took a long-standing generic back off the market to give a 7-year monopoly to a small pharma company that promptly raised prices in the same manner as with Daraprim. I think the FDA should be stripped of its power to keep products off the market. Let it manage testing as it does now and issue recommendations on the safety and efficacy of compounds, but let doctors, patients, insurance companies and charities make up their own minds about what they buy. Most of us will keep on buying what the FDA recommends, but the lack of coercion will prevent monopolies in the generic market from forming.
What I will always fault Trump for is promising to fix this problem, and then doing nothing about it. This, not vague accusations about Russian agents, is the face of corruption.
Medications that are still under patent will probably be handled this way as a matter of course, but the biggest fight will be over generic compounds. Legally anyone can manufacture a generic, but in recent years companies have been able to use the glacial FDA approval process for certifying that each newly manufactured generic is bioequivalent to the original to establish a de facto monopoly with ludicrous high prices. This tech breaks that monopoly.
The argument that "too much" intelligence makes for a bad leader is always made by someone who is trying to rationalize the unpopularity of his own pet ideas.
...haughty dismissal is akin to my father asking why anyone would want to pay $14/mo for dialup to send email, when you could write a letter and use a stamp for only $0.14.
The problem is that a digital system designed to be used as currency is for several reasons not fit for that purpose, and is now being traded purely as a speculation.
To follow your analogy, that would be like using your $14/month modem to drive nails.
And when you can write software that encapsulates your own prejudices about "that noise today's young people are listening to," then buddy, you have the greatest lawn of them all and you can probably hire a SWAT team to keep the kids off it.
Instead of exploring space, explore the truth. Allah is the truth. Islam is the truth. The Qur'an is the truth. Convert to Islam and turn away from the science that will deceive you and turn you away from the truth that is Allah.
I cant find any specific Constitutional reason why Jordan couldn’t get the nomination, so long as the VP could handle the State of the union address. It’s probable that even if elected people wouldn’t notice for at least a while because lobbyists do all the talking for today’s pols anyway.
Unless the SWAT officer left the station "OH BOY I GET TO KILL SOMEONE TODAY!!!!" it's not premeditation.
In a recent case here in Arizona, this phrase was literally etched into the officer's weapon, and the judge at his trial decided not to let the jury know this, or show the bodycam video of the officer behaving like a psycho, because he felt it might be "prejudicial." The jury decided to acquit.
Unfortunately, the "overwhelming majority" is overwhelmingly likely to cover up for the bad apples.
My cure for the "blue wall" problem would be to take police malpractice judgements directly out of the police retirement fund, rather than the city's general fund. Good officers would then rush to turn in the bad apples.

In New Zealand, I actually developed a taste for this. One of our species' principal survival advantages is the amazing variety of things we can eat.

Mengele would have loved you.
When you run out of arguments against something, invoke Nazism.
Mengele did not experiment on cancerous volunteers.
This attitude is why today's China, but not us, can have nice things.

They have a big fat payday coming.

But this could finally lead to cleaner AND cheaper meth!
And it would be blue.
I can see something like this being bought and used by hospitals, but I don't think we're going to see such devices in homes in our lifetime, if ever.
Especially if the pharma lobby has its way. They will not be too thrilled bout having this tech in hospitals either.

At the time of the Abbasid Caliphate you had science to, and in fact invented several of them.

Spanish speech is really fast compared to English. You have to compare the understandability of the written languages.
