I don't think graffiti qualifies as "physical violence". If you or your family is here illegally then you do so with the understanding that you might be deported. There's certainly good arguments to be made that our immi

Are there any decent sources for Nova episodes online? It's been years since I watched any of them but I'd love to dive back in.

Aging is the real problem, and suicide by suffering elderly is unlikely to make young researchers turn their backs on the search for the fountain of youth.

This blog post is exactly what I'm getting at. The best content comes from people who are passionate about the material, not the potential monetary income. Curiously those same people tend to have no shortage of people willing to step

There's only a "free rider problem" if you view the internet as a tool to generate income, as opposed to a tool you can use to offer something to the world. If all ads were gone tomorrow I wouldn't see a single website I

With the biology education I've had I don't think true cryosleep will ever be truly realistic. Closest we could likely get is genetic modification allowing for slowed cellular metabolism or allowing cells to enter a dormant state

In the specific example being discussed of government funded "free" college education it most certainly is not being given away with "no strings attached". There's a very real stipulation that regardless of whether

They absolutely do in the US if the situation calls for it and more appropriate staff aren't immediately available. You can't leave someone sitting in their own feces for an hour just because the CNA's are currently busy with

Yep, the general sentiment among doctors is that they've failed to advocate for themselves both in the public sphere and government. Comparisons are frequently drawn between themselves and nursing groups who have lobbied very successfu

Honestly Walmart deserves the type of employees they have with the compensation they offer. Getting good retail-capable employees isn't complicated so they've obviously made a conscious choice to have the place be a meat grinder f

If you're being serious, one of the most viewed Youtube channels is "Epic Rap Battles of History" which did exactly that.

Yep, there's weird people like myself who find it entertaining to read viewpoints normally sequestered away by the more "civilized" part of the internet. I like seeing wildly different perspectives from my own so long as I ca

Patient education is the only issue here, but most of the public has no desire to know anything about their care. They want a magic pill they can pop which will make it all better and they want to sit in a hospital as long as they feel like

This comment is not only factually wrong (It's not the AMA) but misleading as well. The typical medical student today leaves med school $250k in debt at 8% interest then spends years in a residency where they make $50-60k working 80+ h

So is it a reasonable conclusion that welfare serves largely as a massive scale corporate subsidy based on this data? If they've determined that welfare has statistically irrelevant impacts on the # of people participating in the labor

If you're in the US and want to actually make the world better there are ridiculously more efficient ways to do so than handing your money to the government. Tax dollars paid in the US are probably more of a negative force in the world

You'll pretty much need to dig into the source, IRC is unlikely to be helpful. Documentation is basically nonexistent as well. With that said...it is what you're looking for and nearly every substantial bit of code built around St

Studies have long shown a link between depression and AD, and some of the newest (last couple years) seem to be showing that depression may actually be causing and accelerating AD as opposed to just being a comorbidity. In the same vein we

The hospital I'm employed at utilizes both pneumatic tubes and robots. Robots roam the basement and employee only areas shuttling around food carts, linen carts, and trash. The pneumatic tube system reaches everywhere in the hospital a

You'll always have outliers, but nothing stops those same kids from doing so right now with text chat (and probably at a higher rate). Mute functionality is there for a reason.

WoW already had persisting social structures that lead to those groups setting up voice servers that provided them a lot more intricate controls. People who chose to speak in game had already assembled the infrastructure to do so, why use a

Look into SteamRE for a good primer on interfacing with Valve chat services, although if you want gory details of server architecture I don't think they've ever written about that in detail.

Which is also a complete cop-out meant to save $$$ that lacks any basis in fact or reality. Dota 2 is churning along quite comfortably with integrated voice chat despite having more inter-region mixing. Any time this subject comes up the Do

These cities create the homeless problem by enabling the lifestyle. It's a taboo thing to say but spend enough time in different locations and you learn very quickly that the homeless are shameless opportunists who go wherever they can

What consequence should he face? Doctors are still people and can absolutely make stupid mistakes just like the rest of us. Any serious diagnosis should always lead to getting a second (or even third!) opinion.
