Now that I think about it, other than internet pedants, I've never heard anyone of any nationality use "American" to mean anything but a citizen of the United States. (along similar lines, when traveling and asking where people are from, Americans usually reply with what state they are from, whereas others usually reply with which country). At what point does a correction of your sort move from 'technically correct' to merely 'antiquated and wrong', I wonder, with languages changing as they do?
It is likely just repeated tissue damage that requires regeneration: repeated sun exposure/sunburn, drinking too much (ie repair of liver damage), breathing in fine dust that tears up your lungs. You could probably increase likelihood of some odd cancer by repeatedly pricking yourself over and over. Basically, cancer is your cells growing when they shouldn't. Anything that promotes normal cell growth is going to promote cancer growth, as well.
First mover advantage probably has it: since all of the amino acids are made from one another, they're going to match up with whatever they were made from. I would guess that before the last common ancestor there may be have been some other primitive organisms with left handed amino acids, but whichever got slightly bigger faster would have the advantage of a primitive ecology and then swamp out the other after some natural selection feedback loops improved things.
The manufacturers are already shielded from liability via an injury program the govt runs: http://www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecom...
But mostly it is super expensive and the return on investment is low. Customers only need dosed once a decade, generally. The vast majority of vaccine research is paid for via government grant to a private company that has a fledgling product they want to develop or a government agency directly soliciting research on an area it is worried about.
You don't get audited immediately... if the submission looked good then it'd probably go through and most medical products take long enough to ramp up that the audit will still take place before a large rollout.
Since they're giving it away for the time being anyhow, I wonder if MS would consider getting Google's goat by offering free Windows 10 for these things. I've not used a Chromebook so perhaps the hardware is too thin, but it is funny to imagine.
I agree, as I was watching it I found myself thinking that the actors did a fantastic job of making nonsense seem like it meant something. Their performance was more laudable than the script.
I suppose this is an opportunity for another startup to provide 'clean' social media profiles for a fee. You give them some pictures or yourself and your pets, they fill in some fake vacation photos and some astroturf friends/followers.
I'd be surprised if teens these days didn't run parallel accounts: one their parents know about, one they don't.
I have had thoughts along those lines when I hear about STEM education outreach at work: "but if more people go into STEM I am worth less than I was before!"
True, but if you're going to patent the product you're going to clone it into a yeast or bacterium to ferment large batches of hormone or whatever, so you can optimize the other end.
That assumes humans are even an intentional part of the program. We can live on a minority of the surface of one planet in a universe of innumerable galaxies filled with such things. If this is a simulation the point of it likely has nothing to do with us.
How would we know the simulation was resumed from a backup after a system crash? If our consciousnesses were preserved in a state at time X before the crash and then the program resumed we wouldn't know.
Hmm... considering how many of the amino acids are coded for by multiple codons, if it stands up at all legally, it would be trivial to do to any natural sequence.
I can only imagine the purpose of those "research" papers in high school was to learn citation and non-fallaciously appeal to authority. I found that being unable to use original statements was restrictive enough to make the whole thing pointless, and so I started putting up the content I wanted to include online under a pseudonym and then citing myself. That would be failing to cite a relevant authority but it made it through just fine.
While they are very expensive otherwise, I picked up a Logitech harmony remote on a Black Friday promotion for a discontinued model and it is great. It can talk to everything I've tried that has an IR port. If you're frustrated with your remotes I'd keep an eye out for specials. Full retail they are a bit much versus just fumbling longer for the right remote, though...
I hadn't thought about it like that, but you're right: it is one thing to close a window quickly with something awful, but to have to consider the image you're going to have to wrap your mind around something awful for far longer.

You can disable location services for individual apps, or make them only know your location while the app is active.

Excellent explanation! I've had trouble explaining this before, but the Lego explanation should have legs with lay people.

This is why most vaccine money comes from the government.

You don't get karma for Funny, but you do for Interesting.

So this is why all the AI computers in Star Trek explode when asked to deal with a logical paradox?

You use the principle of parsimony to decide which is the starting point: the simplest explanation would be that this is the base universe.

That link was great and I'm out of mod points so kudos will have to do!
If the tech works then it will be licensed or sold for lots of money as the company tanks. I wouldn't hold my breath on that...
Lab equipment is expensive and has a secondary market. Just because their assay is bunk doesn't mean they didn't buy real deep freezers and so on.
