The study is much better, and the link much stronger, than the foolishness about how sitting increases your risk of death no matter whether or not you exercise.
I've never spoken to an doctor for that long and I'd be suprised if any doctor had time or could afford such a thing.
No, but a decent doctor could do the differential diagnosis of reflux vs heart problems in about 1 minute flat, without spending most of an hour on irrelevant bullshit intended only to impress the gullible (which looks like it worked, at least in this case).
Never understood why it's called an Obamaphone since he actually had fuck all to do with it.
Because his administration allowed the ~$9/month subsidy to be applied to cell phones, instead of being restricted to land lines.
And it's clear that lazy unmotivated poor people deserve to be tied down to land lines, rather than be allowed the chance to bask in the stunning luxury of having a cell phone when looking for a job.
Now that Ebola is actually a threat to rich white people living in developed nations, we can expect that new treatments will be created soon.
Treatments were under development long before this outbreak. But of course, when they become available, you'll just assume that development started after the first cases in the US and Europe.
It's a lot like that, it just appears easier on the surface, misleading many middle-of-the-road developers in to thinking they've got it all figured out after a quick tutorial.
Good point. And I think those are the ones defending node, not the ones criticizing it;-)
(FYI, I've been working with event-driven asynchronous programming daily since 2001. I do think I've got it mostly figure out...)
Javascript on the server-side is total bollocks. Now that the client has gone smart again, because the browser *is* the client-side env, therefore Javascript has clearly won as *the* client-side language, and this means the server may become lean and mean again, because it can dispense with all the GUI, HTML, etc.. nonsense.
The JavaScript world meanwhile has developed a kind of Stockholm syndrome...
Yep. Go to any support forum for node and point out what a pain in the ass it is in node to actually handle all paths, including errors, correctly, and just watch the comments rain down reaming you for not understanding event-driven programming. When I started looking at newer backends that might handle reactive stuff better than RoR, all the info seemed to point to Node.js. When I actually started learning it, I was horrified.
For an extremely limited notion of "concurrent". Also, extremely outdated, even though an awful lot of people who are ignorant of computing history have convinced themselves that it's totally new & revolutionary. (I've been asynchronous reactive programming for nearly 15 years, and the way node does it is just awful.)
Ad hominem-ing your way through the slashdot echo chamber I see.
Nope. It is crystal clear that the poster is severely homophobic. Maybe you should read it again, carefully, and note the unfounded assertion based purely in bias, the deprecation of the suffering of a certain segment, the derogatory references to those who support them, and so on. The post was sickeningly vile.
People don't choose to get cancer. AIDS, however, is almost completely voluntary. Nice job, throwing slurs at dissenters, though. That's the way to show tolerance!:)
1) Many people in the west voluntarily choose to engage in behaviors which greatly increase their chances of getting cancer. So, in developed societies, much cancer is voluntary according to your definition. Meanwhile, in Africa, many women have no choice whatsoever about being forced into activities from which they contract AIDS, and their children are certainly not born with it voluntarily.
2) First off, the basic point the "dissenter" made was completely incorrect, there is not so vastly more research effort going to AIDS than there is to cancer and there is no factual basis that would lead one to such a conclusion, it was purely an unfounded assertion. Second off, my supposed "slur" was nothing more than reading what was obvious from the derogatory way he (yes, he, that too is obvious) referred to gays and those who advocate for their causes.
I could go on and on because the substantial growth in cancer rates...
Good post, except for that bullshit that people so like to repeat. There is substantial decline, not growth, in cancer rates. This has been true for decades.
I just wish half as much effort had been put into fighting cancer as has been put into fighting AIDS over the last three decades.
And what exactly makes you think that is NOT the case? Oh, wait, I see, you're a homophobic idiot who just assumes that because you see actors on TV talking about AIDS, that somehow there's no money being spent on cancer research anymore. You really could not be more wrong if you tried.
Living outside Denver in the Rocky Mountains. (Granite, everywhere, we build on it. One of these days I'm going to reset my radon monitor and put it outside for a few days...)
60db is only 1/3 of an order of magnitude above 20db. 200db is one order of magnitude above 20db and is like a canon going off and no city is that loud consistently. Two orders of magnitude above 20db would damage hearing at 2,000db.
You fail. db is a logarithmic scale. 10db is a factor of 10. 60db is 4 orders of magnitude from 20db.
I mean way out there where you will find very few people nearby. It is difficult to find words to describe how nice and peaceful it is when it's so quiet - not to hear noise of any kind, except from nature.
The claim is done in the context that the show hadn't started yet.... Once the show's started, all of that changes, of course.
OK. I'll agree with that restriction.
Aside: back in the 1980s when electronic publishing was new, and still very expensive and very much not for the desktop, Seybold was the big show for that industry. Kodak personnel would hide their name badges when they'd visit other booths, in an attempt to not be noticed. (Yeah, that worked really well, NOT.) And they were notorious for grabbing personnel from other vendors by the elbow and strong-arming them out their booth. Somebody would complain to show management, show management would pay them a visit, and they'd stop. For a while. Then they'd start doing it all over again. Unless you were in a company where you competed with Kodak, you'd never have a clue how unethically that company was run--Polariod was just the tip of the iceberg with regards to their IP theft and dirty dealing. I've been out of that industry for over 25 years, but I still felt a little glimmer of glee when they went under...
No entering another vendor's booth without their permission...
Bull. Fucking. Shit. 1) Trade shows are as much about vendors seeing each others' products as the public seeing them. 2) Trade shows are about showing things in public, and in public includes anyone.
The rest of your post aside from this specious trespassing claim, I agree with.
The trouble with running 2.5kV is that it'd 'probably' be even more expensive as the power company would have to run you a line from the 'nearest' 2.5kV transformer, plus, do they really want to be running that voltage through a residential zone? It'd have to be insulated.
And run through sturdy conduit once it reached the house, preferably for the shortest most direct run possible. And you'd need some engineering work on the connectors, to avoid any potential for arcing across an air gap to anything the owner waved it near, metal stuff, fingers, etc. And even then, you'd probably want some super-sized GFCI-style cutoff for last-resort protection, and I don't have a clue how much that would cost.
You're probably looking at a hundred to two hundred a foot for the service run. Is that 100 feet or a mile?
I'd think it would have to be pretty close. They don't want to run 120/240 very far because of the resistive losses. But still, it would be expensive.
You're 'mostly' right'. You can have an 800 amp 240V service, I even found a box for it here [platt.com]. It's 'only' 4 modern home's worth.
Thing is, even the wire to carry 200A costs $4-$5 per foot, times 3 cables--just for wire. (And it's only that cheap because they use aluminum for it. Good god copper would probably cost $100 per foot just for the wire...)
But I wasn't thinking so much of the wire to the house. I was thinking of the wire between charger and car. 800A worth of wire would be enormously thick stiff and heavy, far too much so for the owner to pick it up and connect it to the car. But I suppose the charging station could have a transformer to kick the voltage way back up in order to get the power delivered through a cable that one person could actually pick up and connect. Of course now you're going through two (potentially [haha]) unnecessary transformers on the way to the car...
Well, yeah. ALL subs have been designed as "stealth" weapons. That was their entire reason for being. Of course the technologies have advanced over the decades...

I suspect those that turned down other university offers for this one, only to find out they weren't accepted and no have no-where to go...
The email was corrected within 7 hours--pretty unlikely there are any damages to anyone other than the huge disappointment.

The fact that it is even called 'the most dangerous toy' is evidence that some people need a serious beating.
No, what they deserve is for you & I to demonstrate to them the dangers of law darts ;-)
