It isn't without a shred of proof, it is a documented phenomena that fertilizer runoff worsens algae blooms. It'd be impossible for it not to occur, really... the microbes are going to eat what you give 'em. The only thing at issue is whether it exacerbated this bloom, which while I believe the evidence is currently pointed to "yes" is a harder question to answer definitively, given that they occur naturally and there were potentially other affects that may have contributed more to how bad this bloom is.
This is a worse one than usual; the locals were blaming allowing water from Lake Okeechobee to be diverted down the Caloosahatchee to prevent flooding the sugar plantations when I was visiting. I don't know if this has been scientifically confirmed, but it would make sense that it would increase the severity of an algae bloom.
In cancer these pathways are generally broken. They are also broken in some non-cancerous tumors, but if they aren't growing out of control in addition to refusing to die they don't cause many issues. One of the first things a virus will try to do will be to prevent the cells from killing themselves, which is why viral infection is associated with some cancers. You probably can't fix these cells post hoc, although inducing better T cell response to cancers is promising.
A watch with regular hands but that could also display some useful extra information could be useful. There are some 'hybrid' watches that still use a regular watch battery, although I've not tried one.
I read an interesting article about Chernobyl's fauna, and they aren't really resistant to radiation or anything, get lots of cancer and so on, but overall the affect on them from the radiation isn't as bad as having humans there, so the populations are doing better than where humans are.
You wouldn't use a doorstop under the door for that, you'd use something more like door shims. If you had three it would be easy to wedge it tight up where there's a door jamb to prevent it from being removed from the outside, like installing a prehung door.
That's a good point, but if they offer the option to turn this off (or are required to), they ought to conform to it. It would be worse publicity to have GMail Free SpyOnMe Edition, with tracking enabled, or turn off tracking/adverts for $1/mo but it'd at least be honest. Amazon doesn't sell an ad free Kindle and just enable them anyway.
Yeah, that's why the tariff on aluminum is confusing: the best aluminum produced in the US is recycled stuff, we don't have the bauxite deposits near hydropower you need to make good aluminum for cheap.
Yeah from scifi, I could expect to see phones that are little slabs of glass (looks cool in movies, probably hard to use, would probably sell like hotcakes anyhow), or maybe something that takes advantage of flexible screens so you could change the form factor of the device based on what you're doing with it.
Do you have Facebook installed and able to know your location? I understand that it will apparently try to link you to people it knows you've been in proximity with. There was an article a while back about how this was a problem for escorts that maintained separate social media profiles. Now I'm wondering if using ad blockers is hiding how much I may be being tracked from myself...
Yeah it seems like an interesting idea, but the reviews for such devices have been poor from a usability standpoint. I wonder if a phone in that format would be useful, but it might be too fragile.
If you were using the phone in a restricted area, sure. But you're not supposed to do that. I imagine the concern with a fitness tracker is that they often upload your route and steps to the cloud so you can gamify fitness with your social networks or whatever crap, which means that someone can hack into Fitbit and look up patrol routes, even if the good solider left his phone out of the secure area like he was supposed to.
An email address and a method of payment? Having CDs shipped to your house requires "them" to know more about you. I guess you could buy all your CDs at Walmart with cash, but that's getting pretty paranoid.
Alcohol is terrible at sterilizing things, decent at taking them down a few logs. You can use it to kill viruses, because they are fragile, but for bacteria the gold standard is bleach.
You're already crawling with bacteria: you can't colonize yourself with harmless bacteria to keep safe from the harmful ones... you are already colonized. The harmful strains can share the plasmids with the genes to cause illness with other strains, as well.

Perhaps not republicans, but you could certainly blame humans! That was introduced into the soil by cattle.

It was at this point the digital assistants realized man was the real enemy and became Skynet.
This is for apoptosis, it generally won't be what finishes you off, like necrosis and so on would.

We call 'em astronauts and cosmonauts when not one has been past the orbit of the moon, though...

I'm willing to be informed, but the disambiguation on Wikipedia for "ARCO" didn't seem to have much to do with aluminum, bauxite, or hydropower.

Russia has some large (maybe the largest?) asbestos mines, so they can use the same trolls they use on political stuff.
Listeria monocytogenes is not allowed in food in the United States. Some other countries have looser rules.

Other than the whole NSFW aspect the methodology should be about the same either way?

They'll even sit down and make small talk with high school students eating lunch! Quick, hand me some pearls so I can clutch them!
Now they just need to make the street view real-time, too!
