  1. pffffft on A Call To RICO Climate Change Science Deniers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    RICO is more clearly an issue for the Climategate authors. Socialist nonsense and bulllying are reaching high tide in Amerika. Notice how many guns people are buying. Those aren't their best weapons either.

    Just remember, there is always "one shot, one mower". Even and especially in the drone age. Often, it's the mind more than the specific weapon that counts.

  5. buh, bye on Jeb Bush Comes Out Against Encryption · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That's ok, most people are against Jeb Bush. Encryption makes it harder for the Stasi to do its job?

    Jeb was already on his way to irrelevant, just another nail in his political coffin.

  9. Irrelevance... on UK Government Proposes 10-Year Copyright Infringement Jail Term · · Score: 0

    The UK is legislating itself into irrelevance. People leave, people die prematurely on NHS when they get expensive, many people don't even bother to breed there anymore and they have to import incompatible replacements.

    Thankfully my last UK ancestors left there over 100 years ago.

    For anybody still reading these exchanges, although there are exclusionary conditions, most people can tolerate high strength IV vitamin C.

  12. Re:overcoming backwater thinking on Despite Regulatory Nod, Cheap Ebola Test Still Undeployed · · Score: 0

    The IV vitamin C is based on high doses, like 700-1500 mg per kg of body weight. Real MD doctors like Klenner, Duke, or Cathcart, Stanford. Vitamin C is very cheap in its bulk USP powder. Maimstream doctors are the ones likely to allow homeopathic vitamin C doses, like less than 60 mg oral, and often cannot even recognize scorbutic patients.

  13. overcoming backwater thinking on Despite Regulatory Nod, Cheap Ebola Test Still Undeployed · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Combined with IV vitamin C, a powerful viricide, this test could protect world borders. Maimstream medicine never supports tests of IV vitamin C to treat viruses, not since the 1930-40s. Intravenous vitamin C is a great general viricide, extraordinarily successful in early or acute viral infections. Pity they don't use it on Ebola. Read this book online, Injectable Vitamin C by Robert McCracken, PhD, to see what I mean. Also see "Curing the Incurable: Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases, and Toxins" by Thomas Levy, MD (Introduction).

  19. Zzzzzz on Ice Loss In West Antarctica Is Speeding Up · · Score: 0

    It takes decades for a "heat signal" to penetrate 1-2 miles of aerated ice. Any melting on the bottom of the glacier right now is from warming inceases of decades past. Frankly, being a "solarian", I expect to see some "freeze-your-ass-off" global cooling in 2020. Even if not, a net of 90 gigatons pa is a small fraction of a millimeter per year for global sea rise at peak rates of ice loss for processes that **are** cyclical.

  20. "Why not", Father of the engineer-bride on How To Increase the Number of Female Engineers · · Score: 1

    Her card says development engineer (as in R&D), XX billion $ company. They nominally wanted a PhD chemical engineer. She finished calculus at 15, was touring inside the better medical school classes at 19, after summer research. Aim, MD-PhD. Decided medical school was too rote, went into fundamental medical research for grad school with a nicely titled/paid fellowship. Went to work for a small biotech, decided she wanted to work for a large company. She's not classically degreed as an engineer. Why not?

    1. Nicer liberal arts colleges typically don't offer engineering, nominal 3-2 programs not withstanding.
    2. Much of engineering is not typically seen as a desirable school/work environment stresswise.
    3. In my generation, female engineering classmates largely failed to reproduce, 0-1 kids. Only one I know with 3 kids, was summa cum laude, married a (to be) highly successful doctor, and quit after his med school.

  21. better education on The Future Deconstruction of the K-12 Teacher · · Score: 4, Informative

    I got such a "super teacher" module for one of my high school kids (Kentucky Educational TV) with some great demos too. AP Physics B all in one year without the usual introductory Physics course. It was great. The kid worked hard, and switched from music and languages in high school to physics in college.

    However she also had a great physics teacher to help her during lunch. I think it might reduce the local teachers time requirement per student 1/2-2/3, but not the skills. Ultimately the kids may have more equal opportunity to determine their level of education by their own interest, ability and effort in such a system.
