However, anecdotal observations of this kind need to be tested scientifically before conclusions can be drawn, and criteria for interpreting diet behavior studies must be rigorous.... Although sugar is widely believed by the public to cause hyperactive behavior, this has not been scientifically substantiated. Twelve double-blind, placebo-controlled studies of sugar challenges failed to provide any evidence that sugar ingestion leads to untoward behavior in children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or in normal children.
The difference is that airplane technology did not need a preexisting, massive and massively expensive infrastructure in order to make 5 decades of incremental technological and operational progress.
You know what the US government won't do for that same individual? Ensure they have a decent education, a basic level of care for their mental and physical health, a safe neighborhood, and a real shot at becoming a contributing member of society
Civics class fail. With a low 5-digit id like that, I'd have expected you to know that the individual states are responsible for all the things you mentioned.
well-earned hate for the state of democracy in America
Good thing the US isn't a democracy, then, that the Founding Fathers distrusted it, and wrote anti-democratic philosophy into the Constitution...
Those decisions are usually wrong, since they invariably drop necessary elements added in over time (I'm thinking "business programming" here, not consumer apps), and all sorts of new bugs get added.
we do have the knowledge to infer, to within a relatively modest degree of error, the correct sequence and structure of certain extremely well-conserved proteins all the way back that far
It's too easy to make the mentally lazy step from "we infer to within a relatively modest degree of error" to "we know".
That kind of hubris shakes laypeople's trust that what scientists say is to be believed, when the "relatively modest degree of error" turns into out and out "wrong".

I enjoy a few liters of diet coke every day.
Did I read that correctly? 3 liters of diet coke?
More importantly, did you *write* that correctly?
Given all the problems with the "study", I smell agenda.
So a controllable idiot is more valuable then multiple wild idiots.
But of course.
What else do you let them do after dinner when you also let them have sugar desserts?
Either that, or "experts" in "feelings" guilted them into it.

And I'm starting to see anything 'Google, including some of their analytics mysteriously being throttled by the incumbents.
My cable ISP sure isn't throttling youtube-dl.
Yes, but does it run on Linux?
(When was the last time someone on /. wrote that in a serious manner?)
the first specialized set of bone tools were created by Neanderthals in Europe.
Shame on you, non-geeks, for warping a plainly written article into allegedly saying something it did not in fact say.

spying on civilians is not.
That's delusional, since it assumes that only other governments do things that interest the ones doing the spying.

Which implies that we must know what proteins looked like 4Bn years ago.
Zoà Mintz overstated the ibtimes piece so extremely that she must be a "journalism" student jonesing for a job at Fox News.
Eh? When I tried to watch, there was a 70 second YouTube-style advertisement, but without the ability to skip after 5 seconds.
No fscking way am I going to sit through that to watch -- if the past indicates the future -- a lame interview.
Why do you think that "intrinsic" == "tangible"?
isn't because of any intrinsic values
That's why I wrote tangible instead of intrinsic.
currency does not have an intrinsic value
Unless the currency is backed by something tangible and rare (typically gold and/or silver).
which kicks in when saving to PDF, and doesn't handle low image resolution very well?
Or they were relying on geek loyalty to Geeks.com.
I first thought NewEgg.
I see what you did there!
