It got me into programming. One day I was trying to VPN into my workplace, and I started experiencing network connectivity problems which were very rare. I went on FB and asked if anyone else was experiencing connectivity problems. A friend

Muscle Milk is one of if not the most popular protein supplement among the casual lifting and exercise crowd, so it makes sense to focus on it in this context. More serious lifters general do not consume their products because most of them

The minute they leak that there are layoffs coming, every talented individual is going to start spending all their time job hunting instead of working even if they weren't going to be laid off; likewise, untalented individuals will sto

I'm not sure if this is really plausible, but I would love to see a legislative rule instituted which stated that programs, regulations, and spending measures cannot be passed without doing the following: * Clearly laying out the goals

Exactly this. The program is infantilizing and not based in fact. There are great reasons why you may not want to do a number of drugs: opiates (high addiction potential, incapacitating); meth (wrecks you); cocaine (less problematic but you

I am inclined to agree with you. If this is limited to Russia waging a propaganda campaign, even if it involved selectively hacking a political organization and data dumping, then it speaks volumes as to how poorly educated and insulated fr

Agreed. You should be able to get automated security updates and optional feature updates.

Clarification: upon further digging, it turns out that all devices >= class 2 in production before 1976 were granted 510(k) with the intention of transferring class 3 devices to pma once regulations were developed for them. Most of these

It was one of 19 devices that were class 3 (high risk) but granted 510(k) exemptions due to precedent. Ultimately all of these devices were intended to be transitioned to the higher standard pma approval process normally associated with cla

Isn't this a bit of an oversimplification? It's not like if you knock out p53 and something else you instantly get a metastatic tumor. Granted if you remove key tumor suppressor genes your probability of mutations persisting skyro

by Thriptic 9y ago
This is a silly piece and it misrepresents the space. For starters, the 510(k) pathway only applies to moderate risk class 2 devices. It's not like every device on the market prior to 1976 was automatically granted 510(k) status which

I think there are actually two separate issues here. First, old hardcore social conservativism is indeed under fire, and I would argue that's a good thing. It's a good thing that LGBT people have more rights; it's a good thin

I think a big part of this divide is semantics. What is a conservative? Is it a Rockefeller republican (center right)? Is it a populist Trump supporter? Is it a member of the current Republican party? Is it a traditional social conservative

You make a statement decrying the politicization of comments directly after making a sweeping incorrect generalization about conservatives? Owning a firearm is not some prerequisite for being a member of a political party. There are large n

The TV still works if it's not connected to the internet. Just buy a smart TV, never connect it to the internet, and get third party streaming sticks instead.

That's a perfectly fair stance to take, but then people will simply have to accept that rents will be sky high in cities like SF in perpetuity. The high prices are fundamentally a supply issue; build enough housing and prices will inev

It depends on what you mean by things you are most afraid of. I think these fears can be broken into two classes, one being phobias (fear of heights, public speaking etc) which are more "irrational" fears, and the other being even

People buy consumer goods knowing that they're not going to get that money back. A lot of people buy crypto because they think it can only increase in value, and so they end up spending far more than they are willing to lose when the v

Isn't buying crypto on a credit card basically leveraged speculative trading on an extremely volatile asset? Considering that many people who are buying crypto are doing it for investment purposes, it's pretty obvious why banks wo

It's true that NFL players suffer enormous head injuries, but let's not be hyperbolic. No one in the NFL is anywhere near 2% body fat; people are not trying to spear other people head first (there are rules explicitly banning this

One avenue this entity could take is to offer itself as a non-profit third party administrator of a self-funded plan for other companies. Large companies typically put up the money for health insurance anyway combined with employee premiums

This looks substantially better than Hubway (the Boston bike share). Currently you need to bring bikes from one dock to another dock, and as you would expect commuting completely breaks this model. All the bikes move towards employment cent
