Your insurance company doesn't give the northbound end of a southbound rat about your pulse oximeter readings.
The ONLY thing they care about is your medical bills. You want to be be hypoxic if you shuffle up a flight of stairs - go ahead. Smoke 4 packs of cigarettes per day? Fine.
Just don't go to the doctor's office. They hate that.
No controls. I am going to hazard a bet that if they did this to Web MD, Mayo Clinic or any one of the innumerable other lay accessible web sites, they would get similar results. Given that even the '10 most expensive medical conditions in the country' are not fully explained, categorized or treated having different interpretations or different recommendations is hardly surprising.
Even with professionally sourced and vetted resources you will find differences of opinion. Hell, even the 'reference' documents on a particular condition have differing conclusions depending on whose writing them and who won the argument in the committee.
To a first approximation, everything you know is wrong. Take it from there.
Actually, with the new LEDs, you may well buy the fixture when you replace it - 10 to 20 years down the road when it looks so 21st Century. We may be the last generation that understands the old 'how many psychiatrists does it take to screw in a light bulb?" joke.
Yeah. While I don't think the concept of self-driving cars is a bad one, it's inevitable that corporations and governments are going to use them to invade people's privacy, use DRM-like nonsense to control what people do and where they can have the car repaired, and generally hide what the car is actually doing. Unless I can see the source code for the software they use, I won't trust these things.
Really? Aren't you barking up the wrong tree? This isn't a hobbyist machine - its' a bottom barrel consumer device. The customer that HP (and Allwinner) is going for doesn't know a driver from quantum superposition. It's cheaper to just throw stuff together that works at time of shipping and not worry about what happens next week.
Think one step up from disposable.
Yes, in your Richard Stahlman utopia, we would be able to upgrade these pieces of crap until Unix integer overflow but that's not a realistic commercial solution. Not that these things are, but you're acting as crazy as an HP exec and that is NOT a complement.
It is recommended that the dish be left to simmer for five hours before being garnished with bush plums and mistletoe berries.
And here is the one line answer on how to eat pretty much anything: boil the crap out of it until you render it to component molecules. Sprinkle something less offensive over it.
The only predators that can kill humans in comparative safety are ambush predators (salt water crocodiles) and predators more adapted to their environment than we are (sharks).
You're forgetting mosquitoes (and other insects). When you calculate the biomass of the things, the number of humans killed or injured by insects and the ecological footprint of them, they win.
You seriously need to clean your house before the rest of the world is forced to come do it for you. If you don't realize just how precarious a position your government has put you in, you really need to wake up.
You and which army? Seriously, grow up. Read some history. Right now we are in a 'Pax Americana' bit of time (for various values of 'pax'). This will ebb and flow and it may be that China becomes ascendent in the next couple of decades. Or not. These changes often take hundreds of years to play out and what appears to be a certainty one year may seem like a distant dream (or nightmare) the next. Maybe Europe will become a dominant force although history tells us that if you want to go that route, you'd best beef up your military instead of hanging on to ours.
Nobody in the espionage game is any different from the others. Nothing is particularly new in that game, just improvements in both offensive and defensive strategies.
Your post shows a shatteringly naive view of 'power dynamics'.
More likely we will see a mixed market - just as you do in 2D printing. Most people don't want to set up a printer for digital prints - it's a hassle and requires some level of skill and involvement. Others might find it worthwhile.
I doubt 3D printing will ever be ubiquitous in the home / SOHO space, but there will be plenty of professional services, ranging from simple to wildly complex. There will be multiple price and quality points that will change over time. I have a pretty high end printer for photos that I use pretty often. I keep looking at 3D printing, but the value for me isn't there (I have a CNC milling machine and I'm not afraid to use it....).
But I keep watching. Sooner or later my wife will be dismayed (yet again) to find some giant box deposited on the doorstep. Or perhaps not. Maybe the professional services will just be better in terms of price, quality and flexibility for quite some time. I rather expect that to be the case until and unless someone comes up with a printer that can handle a wide variety of materials. Stay tuned.
And an article linked in TFA also notes that coccidioidomycosis would have a similar vector - and that outbreaks tend to peak after dust storms and... earthquakes.
So now we've got yet another Zombie Level problem to worry about. It's just not fair.
Since you can get a readable snap of a license plate from space with the appropriate satellite I'd say odd are pretty high "visible from space" is accurate.
Yeah, that phrase doesn't really mean much these days. Basically anything that is macroscopic.

What? If you have a pulse you're blacklisted?
I suppose it explains a few things.

One of the primary designers of the B-52, George Schairer died in 2004.
Lovely. And to think I get the heebie jeebies thinking about On Star.
How is the aluminum foil going to help in this dystopic future?

I would just love to see you at an airport.
We are all mentally ill to one extent or another, we all will die.
As far as the DSM folks are concerned those are billable episodes. Your credit card, please.
Nicotine is a drug with significant CNS effects. Why do you think so many people take it? No surprise that it can be beneficial for some.
It's just that the delivery system is problematic.

Really. I rarely see any tablet being used (outside of just watching a video or some such) without a keyboard. A bluetooth keyboard.
Thermite. Lower profile. Sterilizes the ground.
As a bonus, it's a good test to see if your local SWAT team is awake.

Ice cream for desert.
What's not to like?

Immigration status doesn't really have much to do with basic human rights.
At least, not in civilized countries.

Very insightful. He's dead.
SFW. Let me clarify that. I'd really wait until you get home or at least somewhere no one is liable to scan your browser logs.
Of course, the NSA already knows about your little perversions, so no worry there. It's your boss and the sysadmins that you have to worry about.
Uh. Thanks. I think. Although I really should know better than to click on a 'vice.com' link, I'm going to have to go rinse my brain out.
No, it's SFW, just not .... safe. Sometimes these sorts of concepts should wait until later.

This is certainly true in many respects, however the quote (FTFA)
After visiting the Office Mix portal, educators (or anyone) can download the add-in that causes a Mix ribbon to appear within PowerPoint.
Just seems so wrong on so many levels.
Think of the children!
I'd hire you as my technical writer anytime!
Be careful about over-wide proscriptions - walking is good for you, but a bit limiting.
