As the article says, there is now a synthetic hormone which is given to the patients. We don't need to extract the hormone from dead people anymore.

I like the new camera arrangement! But giving the phone flat sides instead of rounder edges will make it less comfortable to hold, and it doesn't make sense to me to make the camera bump rounded while doing the opposite to the sides. T

But even if someone wants to move for economic opportunity, they still want to move. Would people prefer rural areas if those areas had equal amounts of jobs? Maybe, maybe not. But since they don't, I think it's totally fair to sa

The radio station does pay royalties to the artists. And in case you forgot, they play ads as well. Sure, you can "skip" ads by switching to a different station, but the point remains that they compensate artists.

How do you prove this? I don't see any quantitate evidence of any sort that indicates that men are avoiding college due to political correctness or the Me Too movement. You might feel that this is obvious due to your gut instinct, but

In my opinion, people with more than a decade of experience should feel fine having a 2 page CV. But anyone with <= 10 years of experience should be able to summarize their accomplishments well enough for it to fit on a single page.

I know very little about aviation. I thought that jet engines were way better for flight than propellers, but it seems that in order to provide power from batteries this plane is forced to use propellers instead. Is that a major drawback? O

I think they should have started with a more achievable goal to make it to 10 years, and then re-evaluate afterwards. Maybe 100 is achievable to some extent? 1000 seems like pure fantasy to me.

Is there a description of each "expert"? Does one of the 8 models specialize in multi-lingual translation, while another specializes in coding? I don't see any answer to this in the paper, although I only skimmed it.
