Somehow I know multiple people that love the things. I don't see the appeal and find the idea of paying for it all the more bizarre. But from what I've heard it is doing better than I would have thought...
The user is generally protected from being compelled to do so by the Constitution, and for the manufacturer to do so requires a backdoor. Who were you envisioning being compelled by the court?
But how is the analogy apt? The reason that your home is reasonably secure from non-police battering your door down is that doing so is loud and draws attention. If the encryption is backdoored, the analogy is more akin to your front door being left ajar and anyone can slip in unnoticed.
Symptoms of illness are usually caused by immune response. A vaccine giving partial immunity will not prevent infection but will ensure your response is robust enough to prevent you from becoming seriously ill. A subclinical infection in an unvaccinated individual may not show as robust an immune response but this doesn't mean they're better off.
Alternatively you can have sepsis, and if your immune system hasn't noticed, you may feel and operate fairly well without even a fever until you drop dead from toxic shock.
Speaking of gold... why do survivalists and --whatever the term is for the guys that hate paper currency-- think gold is a good bet if society collapses? I'd think bullets and seeds would be the things to hoard. A collection of antique hand tools would be more useful post-government than gold.
Did you skip out signing up for selective service when you were 18? If you're conscripted you could be asked to die for your country and they'd also make sure you got your shots. If the potential cost to society is high enough, the government can make you get the shots and leave out the invasion of Normandy.
One of our VPs uses Yammer, and so it is nice to poke him there since the intervening demigods all leap out of their chairs to address whatever is brought up whereas otherwise it would be lost in the noise. But, yes, if the senior management don't use it then it is just another time waster.
I had abdominal pain and vomiting, went in for an ultrasound which found nothing, and ended up in the ER the next day with a "massive" kidney stone found via contrast X-ray. Several mm, I forget the exact measure. So if the ultrasound broke anything up looking for them, they must've recrystallized into the big one... in any case, laser lithotripsy was used to demolish my stone. As far as the OP's stories of excruciating pain, I can say that for my type of stone I only had to drink a glass of orange juice or grapefruit juice a day to keep my citrate up. If the doctor had told me I needed to eat a battery every day I would've done it...
Yeah I don't see hiding the ages preventing the studios from casting actresses as love interest for men their father's ages. And in an industry where they try to cast an actor of the right race, weight, height, etc (and occasionally get criticized for the same)... I'm not sure how standard anti-prejudice laws can work well.
If the germ line DNA gets methylation changes, yes. Methylation as an inherited change in gene expression also occurs in populations that have been through large scale starvation in the past few generations.
So you're proposing that the body is methylating the DNA in response to damage or to "neutralize toxins" (however that would work) and in the same breath denying that this would indicate that smoking damages DNA? You're not only mistaken, but your proposed alternative doesn't support your opinion.
True, but if they follow Netflix in terms on binging expectations, you can rotate around your subscriptions and just watch the season in a month and cancel once you're finished. That's also the reason Netflix wants so many original shows... no one will subscribe all year to just watch Game of Thrones.
A few other people made this joke... do you guys seriously still get spam? My gmail is essentially sacrosanct, my outlook.com which is given to businesses that ask for an email has a pretty full junk mail folder but none makes it into the inbox, my work email is the worst but still only gets a few a quarter. And I imagine the latter is that for a business they don't want to block legit emails so they have a lower false positive rate set up in the filters.
There probably isn't enough uniqueness about cancer lines for that... if cancer were easy to differentiate from regular cells your own T cells would be sufficient to self-cure cancer already.
Sure but it could be useful for a family who might then only need to own one car. There will likely always be a need for personal vehicles, but I'd agree that the trend is likely that there will be fewer of them.

They do but you have to whine about it... they'll tack on a few months onto your prime membership each time.
But I bought the security envelopes! You can hold them up to a lamp and everything!
Maybe Google will let you have fiber if you agree to have one of these surveillance devices installed too?

The target demographic would be people who want iOS but don't agree with Apple's hardware design decisions.
Oh ok, so my perception of those guys has been distorted some from the news. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Thanks for the perspective.

You've seen DOB on a job application form?

My mod points expired... but very interesting link!
Compulsory licensing would also help internet radio, but the idea sure won't be popular with the media companies.
Interesting! I'd have thought that immunotherapy like that for cancer would cause auto-immune issues. Do you have any links?

So I guess the headphone jack had to go anyway if the electronic noise inside the case is bad enough to be audible.
