What this means is that if you want NN, you have to vote for a Democrat, or at least an Independent. And they have to win both chambers and probably the presidency to.
Or, you could, you know, engage your representative and senator (R/D/wutevr), and express your point of view in a clear, reasoned manner. Believe it or not, they do listen to your calls and read your letters/emails (at least someone on their staff does. There is a populist movement on both sides of the aisle and the incumbents better pay attention to it, or they will be looking for a new job.
We are really disrupting by saving babies that have defects that wouldn't have survived on their own.
Well, that's one way to look at it. What else should we stop? Patent ductus arteriosis is a common defect where the hole normal between the chambers in a fetus' heart never closes up (usually does this several weeks before birth). A fairly straightforward open heart procedure fixes the problem. Should we stop doing this, too? Where do we draw the line? What criteria? Money? Class? At the other end of life - do we use euthanasia on the elderly that no longer contribute? Just asking questions... I've worked in health care, taking care of both newborn and elderly.
CO2 has dropped; great. How have levels on industry and manufacturing changed? Are they at the same levels? Increased/decreased? What about CO2 production in ratio with GDP? CO2 is important, but if there is no commerce, no economy, how do the people otherwise fare?
From that editorial: "Shimamura et al. demonstrated that a microbubble-enhanced ultrasound method successfully delivered therapeutic genes into the CNS with no evidence of brain damage". So it is not only ultrasounds that are required for this procedure to work, but some microbubble injection needed. I could not find any reference on the gas used for this microbubbles, nor their size nor how they generate them. Still sounds like a very promising treatment.
Could the microbubbles be caused by ultrasonic cavitation? Don't know how much power they're applying, nor how focused (didn't RTFA).
If China come after American tech, especially from Silicon Valley, they'll end up with a lot more. They'll end up contaminating their society with capitalistic ideals as well as ideas. They'll import American consumerism, fashion, and a large part of culture as well. This could be a very risky proposition, even though they are trending towards Western values mixed with Communism already, this will increase the shift. I bet there are more than a few old hard-liners that see this as a bad thing.
What would these walls on the sea floor do to existing currents flowing there? How would they affect the movement of bottom-dwelling creatures. Always unseen/unthought of unintended results.
The trend lately is for colleges to set a ridiculously high price, then give "everyone" a discount. They're taking as much as they can from everyone. In what other field do companies get away with that? What a scam.
Medicine. I'm broke, barely getting by and on food stamps. I also have serious medical problems. The doctors want to charge (for example) $1000, but will likely settle for $100. The hospital is under great scrutiny right now. It is desperate to show how charitable it is. Because I'm on food stamps, they waive fees for almost everything.
Has anyone reporting on this actually read the entire text?
Well....actually, yes. And I don't even live in Cali. The text of the Senate Bill (I'm sure you are smart enough to find the House version) http://leginfo.legislature.ca....
Not intended as a snarky reply, but please do a search for "gray-hoverman antenna". You should be able to find a variety of designs; indoor, outdoor, with or without reflector, and multi-bay designs.
Are people really this poor? Can't you afford a Walmart $10 antenna instead of a $5 homebrew one with half the performance? Really? I mean, seriously? How? What? Why?
Wow, you're really wound up! The antennas I build perform better than the cheap patch antennas sold by WalMart (or "As Seen on TV!"). I like making things. I cook my own food (but, yeah, I do eat a Big Mac from time to time...). You can spend your money how you want, I don't care.
versus buying one. I've made a bunch of Gray-Hoverman style antennas using foam board and foil tape (indoor use only, obviously). These pick up everything in my area and cost less than $5 each.

Maybe they should listen to Death Metal while doing homework to reduce that anxiety...

Other features include AKG-tuned, quad surround sound speakers
Surround Sound? How the fuck do you have surround sound with a tablet? Wear it on top of your head?
Dirt! If only we had dirt! When I was a kid, all we had was gravel! And it was cold!

This would also eliminate (or make illegal) such things as credit bureaus and phone books. Or maybe that's what you had in mind?
...what software did they use to do the analysis? I see the effects of a possible kosmic karma-slam here.

I just read "Melancholy Elephants" by Spider Robinson. It's about infinite copyright. Story seems rather appropriate.

Did the magnet point North?
Or did North point at IT?

Small leaks like this typically cause an ulrasonic whistle, which is very directional. Easily detected with proper equipment.
