If there's one thing that popular TV has done for us lately, I'd say the show "Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?" actually is a help because it gives us an idea of where we ALL *should* be educationally
The show is mostly useless trivia, so no it isn't 'where we all should be educationally'. If people never know about the majority of US Presidents, or specific dates of historic events, there would be absolutely no loss to education.
CFR 1222 covering archival of Government communications was in effect from 2002, and State Department 12 FAM 541 to 12 FAM 545 covers sensitive but unclassified information (which includes things like meetings, schedules, promotions, personnel discussions) was in effect from 2005. She broke both of those, and they were in place for years before she was appointed SoS.
And if you had bothered to read these regulations you would see that she adhered to the letter of the law in both cases. An email was lawfully archived as long as she printed out the email or it was stored on a government server (any email she sent to government address would be stored on government servers, unless deleted by the recipient). The handling of senstive but unclassified information was in accordance with the law.

They could provide them with anxiolytics and other drugs to prevent crew stress and conflict.

I have long been told that people can and do separate fiction from reality. That what we see on TV and in movies is known to be fictional and not real. I have never believed it for one minute.
I overhead a coversation between two people discussing Lucy, and they thought that you really could gain psychic powers etc, if only you could 'use the other 98% of the brain'.
Bicyclists should wait at red lights just like everyone else, for example. It doesn't mean "stop, look, then proceed if you don't see a car crossing". It means you wait until it turns green.
In many states, bicycles are also allowed to cross during walk on crosswalks (actually it is often a city decision as opposed to state law). They don't necessarily have to follow the laws of motorised vehicles exclusively.
Slavery and other issues were just the hot button topics that got the average person engaged, that isn't really what it was about.
No that is revisionist history. It was purely about slavery. The states rights argument was created after the south lost because it was embarrassing to have fought for slavery.
For example the Nordic countries (and Germany until recently) don't have a minimum wage.
Austria, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden have nationwide collective bargaining that sets minimum wage per sector. They simply don't have government set minimum wage.
Netherlands has a minimum wage.
So you were wrong on all accounts - there are minimum wage levels, but they are set by nationwide collective bargaining instead of the state in most of these nations. The negotiated minimum wage is typically around US union wages - way higher (22-24$/hr) than even the 15$ per hour proposed by some US politicians and then health/dental are provided via taxes.

Clinical trials are not "cheap". They are usually the most expensive part of bringing a new drug to market.
The expensive trials are when we have a drug that treats the problem extremely well, the new drug appears to offer little or no benefit, and thus they have to offer people ridiculous sums of money to be recruited into the trial, and they have to have a enormous number of people enter the trial to show an effect size.
For trials where there is no effective treatment, and the new treatment should be highly effective, the cost of trials is quite modest.
No, that's the problem. There were not only rules, but there were laws against what she was doing. Had you or I broken those laws, then ignored a federal order to turn over those e-mails and wiped our e-mail server instead, we'd be sitting in an iron cage right now.
According to the State Department she violated neither policies nor laws.
The retention laws only required that copies of relevent emails be saved but it didn't specify how - one of the ways that was accepted was printing out the emails, another was to CC a government email address that would retain the email.
There have been new laws, that were enacted two years after she left office that would now require usage of a government email address for correspondence or a copy of the correspondence to be on a government server within 15 days.
Doesn't matter. First, she should have known that as SoS classified information would be flowing through that server.
It is illegal to send classifed information via email, whether via her private email or via her government email address.
Second, she was ordered by a court to turn over all her emails. She stonewalled as long as she could, then printed out some of the email (the ones she deemed 'important'), then wiped the server and claimed there were no backups
No she was not ordered to turn over all of her emails and a judge would not have the authority to make such an order. There was an FOIA regarding Bengazi, that the court issued an order regarding emails pertinent to Bengazi. FOIA though is only relevant for emails in possession of the State Department.
Leaks or not, the law says she was supposed to use her secure government-provided email for work. She ignored that law.
No it didn't say that till two years after she left office. Also the government email isn't secure and can only be used for non secure communication. Secure communications require usage of an internal distribution server that is secure and is not actually email.
Except we know that other State Department employees did the same thing (used private email and email servers for government business) and weren't prosecuted. So his claim is BS.
Actually we do and she is still doing it. She is a civilian in possession of classified material that she collected while she wasn't a civilian. End of the fucking discussion. She is still breaking the law.
The documents were not classified at the time. Contrary to the assertion in Routers article, FGI (foreign government information) are not 'born classified' - this is shown both by the wording of the statutes themselves; court interpretation of the statutes and executive orders; and according to the State Department itself.
It is far from clear what duty, if any, she has in the case of retroactively classified documents, but almost certainly she has no legal culpability.
The mishandling of email was probably a simple, unintentional mistake that as both a lawyer and politician she is automatically lying about. *shrug* unsurprising.
There is no evidence yet of her mishandling email. There have been a lot of false claims about the classified nature of the email. The courts have ruled that information from a foreign government is not 'born classified', it must be explicitly stated that it is classified by the foreign government for it to be treated as classified material.
Read the effin statutes. The emails are not automatically classified if they are from a foreign government. They are only classified if the foreign government has stated they are classified.
The courts have ruled that being from a foreign government is not sufficient to be classified. The State Department argued that it was in a FOIA case and lost.
The case and the law are discussed in this link,
This provision of Executive Order 12,958 was a significant factor in a 1998 decision by the federal Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit that rejected the government's claim that a communication from the United Kingdom could be withheld from a FOIA requester because it had been classified by the Department of State. Weatherhead v. United States, 157 F. 3d 735 (9th Cir. October 1998), vacated as moot, 528 U.S. 1042 (1999) . The Ninth Circuit found that the government was unable to demonstrate that there was any specific reason for withholding the documents at issue and, therefore, without a presumption that foreign government information should be classified, the government could not justify withholding this document under the 1995 Order. The Court of Appeals panel also examined the letter, and found that its contents were innocuous and disclosure could not reasonably be expected to result in damage to the national security.
For example, Citizen Kane was a great movie and that isn't impacted by the fact the main characters are all heterosexual and white. It wouldn't be improved -- nor detracted from -- if the characters were of a different race or sexual orientation. The story stands alone.
Citizen Kane is an awful movie. It was an important to the film industry due to introducing some important innovations that were influential and adopted by later films, but as a movie it was horrendous. Bad acting, bad writing, etc. It is worse than just about anything that has made it to the big screen - indeed Gigli - as awful as it was - is better in terms of being a movie than Citizen Kane.
With lots of web pages open, you could have others load while you were reading a different one. Far more efficient that visiting each link and waiting for it to load over a slow modem connection.
The CDC's own study came up with gun use victims (including those threatened with, not shot, and including a lot of suicides) at 150,000 to 300,000, and during the same period, defensive uses between 500,000 and 3,000,000.
It wasn't a study, it was a summary of some of the literature from preexisting studies. It ignored the criticisms of the literature (that most DGUs claimed are actually not DGUs but assault with a deadly weapon; and that simple extrapolation shows that the DGU 'statistics' are ridiculously overstated since there would have to be a huge number more serious gun injuries at hospitals; that false positives dramatically skew the statistics; etc).
I know it happens but honestly I would like to see a link to your study. I'm thinking it doesn't happen all that often.
The 'defensive gun uses' the previous poster is referring to include actual defensive gun uses, but also people pulling their guns inappropriately because they thought someone looked suspicious; or being in an argument and pulling the gun to end the argument. Neither of which are actual DGUs but make up the vast majority of claimed DGUs that are a part of DGU statistics.

Medical malpractice adds perhaps 5% to total medical costs, there is no way we could cut costs by 75% even if all lawsuits were eliminated.
A connectome could be done quite quickly within a decade -
freeze the head, shave it (plane off a slice through bone and brain) in thousandths of a mm increments and record the connections visually.
It probably will not be doable non destructively for a lot longer, but destructive should be quite easy.
