    This means nothing. It is not detecting time per se. It is detecting things violations like objects don't fall up, or other such experienced pattern that is the result of time.

    you miss the point. They are not hiring full faculty. They are hiring adjuncts, with pay scales around 20-30k. Also there is the post-doc hell.

    I don't think it requires rooting. You do give it admin access however, which makes sense.

  14. Re: Control? on General Anesthesia Exposure In Infancy Causes Long-Term Memory Deficits · · Score: 1

    You will understand that a controlled experimental manipulation of anesthetic exposure in humans is unethical. As a first step, this retrospective study had to be conducted, I am sure.

    Blame that on Lordflower reporting. The 1.5 million figure was not in the actual research paper.

  16. Re: Selection bias on General Anesthesia Exposure In Infancy Causes Long-Term Memory Deficits · · Score: 1

    Anesthetic is NOT required to image infants. Please do an internet search for MRI infants and natural sleep. Infancy researchers do it all the time.

    Anesthetizing infants for MRI is done out of a misguided belief and or laziness.

  17. Re:Doubtful on General Anesthesia Exposure In Infancy Causes Long-Term Memory Deficits · · Score: 4, Informative

    Note that the study included an experimental manipulation of anesthetic exposure in a sample of rats. This was an experimental manipulation which means that the author's could make a much stronger claim for causation. As far as mechanisms, this is being explored but it appears to be something that normal processes of synaptogenesis and synaptic pruning.

    I doubt there is substantive evidence that we are the center of our Universe. However, is there any evidence that we are not at the center of the universe? How would one falsify the hypothesis? Also, I was under the impression that the Universe appears the same in all directions we look from earth...

    Imagine a world where a computer can always do it cheaper than a human. In that case, no humans will be employed. In this scenario, what is the harm in providing people with income via fiat money creation? I don't see much harm as long as it does not spend past the point of rampant inflation, and I sure as hell can see the harm in letting people go hungry without hope of income.
