If you look at media as a response to who is governing, then it makes sense it is that way, unfortunately. "You can't reason someone out of an opinion they did not arrive to by reason." Look at how much the political advertisements for certain candidates appealed to fear, vs others who cited their concrete accomplishments. The more local candidates in my area used the latter because they were trying to appeal to educated suburbanites, and almost no one this year put their party affiliation down. The state level candidates appealed to emotion in their advertising and party identification.
Primitive democracies didn't enfranchise everyone, here in the US it was initially just land owning males, who would've largely been educated. Now, you could view politics and discourse through a lens of the wealthy, land owning males still maintaining power while enfranchising the proletariat and still get a pretty predictive model...
Yeah I've been procrastinating on making it to the hardware store for some button cells... could buy them on Amazon but half a chance they'll be dead or counterfeit these days.
Interesting, here in the US Amazon Video has everything you'd find on iTunes for rent or purchase. The free Prime offerings are pretty tepid... some good original content, plus bottom shelf third party content. But yes, I think now everyone will try to roll their own and then there'll be a regression to the mean. I'm interested to see how HBO does long term, their streaming is one of the more expensive ones and I wonder how they'll do once GoT wraps.
What you're describing is pretty much Amazon Video... free with Prime stuff, plus paid videos for rent or purchase. In practice it 'feels' like somebody trying to nickel and dime you, Netflix's user experience is better without it.
It could still be genetic, the add on effects can effect group selection in a cooperative species like ours. Even if we weren't social, you'd still see, say, male infertility due to genetic causes, if the same genes caused hyperfertility in females. It's just the "birth order" trends that would necessarily be epigenetic.
Hmm... but if there are just population level epigenetic changes, you'll end up with something more like a ring-species than a non ambiguous speciation event, yes?
Depends on the price point... Netflix is $8-$12 a month. If they are at the same price they may not do any better than you're predicting, but this is Disney... they sell toys and tickets to theme parks, big movies in theatres, their content is advertising for merchandise. If they sell the streaming just barely above cost I think they'll win big. If they could sell it at $3 or $4 a month without losing their pants then everyone with children will end up being subscribers. Prime Video has some cool kids programs, but you don't see T shirts at Target with Tumbeleaf characters on them.
It's impossible to avoid the commute unless you both work for the same employer, and then the family factors further complicate it is the point. E.g., we're equidistant from our employers now in an area with good schools. It'd be impossible for me to live within walking distance of my job, due to zoning and security, and even close to it would be poor schools. Living within walking distance of her work would involve living in rental housing catering to students, and a poor school district. So I have a 15 minute commute and she has a half hour commute.
What does this have to do with the rebuttal he made to the AC parent? Sure, people have had to deal with jobs moving and it makes living close to your job problematic, and yet having dual careers in the household to cater to makes it essentially impossible.
That's a good thing to keep in mind, like using fossil fuels to grow corn to make into ethanol to burn in an ICE... Do you know how much of the cost was in R&D? Building one thing at a loss can sometimes let you build a whole bunch of them for a profit.
True, but if we have sufficient carbon neutral power we can run energy intensive carbon capture methods. I'm not sure there'll be the public will to spend the money on such a thing, but if it was at least technologically possible there'd be a chance...
I've heard anecdotally from medical professionals that motorcyclists are the best sources for donor hearts, but I don't know if there are reliable stats to back this up...
The limit on doctor's numbers is self imposed to keep wages high, not because there aren't enough medical schools. Is the cost of medical labor rising as fast as medical costs? I was under the impression that the costs for supplies, equipment, and medicines are what has been growing so fast.
Yeah that seems pretty confusing... you'd think they'd want to take advantage of cost of living differences, you could pay the same person a lot less to live somewhere where that paycheck buys an awesome house instead of a lot more for a tiny apartment.
One reason the Europeans had all their fun diseases was the greater depth of domestication in their societies, but you're right that keeping llamas wouldn't be expected to help a great deal unless they carried related diseases. It'd be interesting to follow up on to see if there is data to support the idea.
Probably safest to just remove everything that doesn't seem super important! Appendix, coccyx, bunch of redundant lymph nodes... don't really need gonads, the dog seems happy enough without 'em. Clean house!
It's a rebuttal to "Intelligent Design", which is a pseudoscientific model that is basically creationism disguised by attempts at appearing scientific. It cites things like the eye as being too perfect to have evolved, and so on. If appearance of design supports such an idea, appearance of non-design/suboptimal design is against it. It isn't good science or good theology, basically the biology equivalent of 'flood geology' or young earth creationism. ID is a fringe evangelical idea they tried to push into schools a while back, it stands apart from theistic evolution like most mainstream orthodox religions go along with.
I hadn't thought about that... it is a dataset they can get their hands on 'cleanly' and then apply the algorithms to countries that need to be 'liberated'...

ESL? 'Shooting' footage or photos is a common verb. He's not referring to killing the animals with bullets or arrows.
The point was that you can do so without harassing the wildlife if you know the correct methodologies.

There are too many webpages, I can't read them all faster than they get updated and some require me to pay to access them!

I am super impressed with my detachable 2in1, and for the price you would pay for an iPad which is basically a giant phone...

You can fit a lot of animals in the zoo but you can't grow their food in there too...

Oh I dunno, it might be kinda nice to have chloroplasts.
