Yes, but why should people who are calling for studies to be done get censored? Scientists who are talking about interesting possibilities that _should_be_studied_ should not get their content taken down.

This is fascinating, but for people who already have a medical history of ITP, it might be a bad idea, as this drug has known anti-platelet activity. Good for "normal" people to avoid blood clots, but bad for ITP people who are tr

It is hilarious, because Android phones already exist with under screen cameras. You'd think a company that is supposedly as spectacular as Apple claims to be would be on top of this tech.

We see this among students who come to American universities from certain parts of Asia: serious knowledge of syntax, but not able to navigate the OS, use the IDE, or compile the code. I've heard this same scenario of learning programm

My respect for William Shatner is only increased by his words and reaction. Meantime, my respect for Bezos is only lessened by his.

Any crime that is not worth having humans investigate is not worth disrupting a suspected criminal's life. If it isn't worth the cost to society, then society should leave it alone. Due process should be owed to every single citiz

There was a particular Windows Update, after which my Surface Pro started doing this more and more, and it eventually fried the battery to the point of not being able to charge enough to even get the data off. I loved that thing, but I didn

This wave began in the south (and on the west coast), but it has been creeping up the map in recent weeks. You can see it spreading into southwestern PA now. The wave simply hasn't gotten to NY yet. It is coming.

Yes, Facebook is now almost useless. The only reason to be there is to keep track of friends and family, but it has gotten to the point where if a family member has a big life event, I'm hearing about it through traditional in-person o

Yes, this is correct. For example, give most people most vaccines, and they will be fine. However, some vaccines will cause a few people in every 100,000 or so to develop ITP, which can mean a brief period of bruising and bleeding (as your

It would be unethical if in the process we also put innocent people in solitary confinement (or even in non-solitary prison), which we do currently.

We have nothing to go on except for the words you posted, and those words seem to contradict themselves. So, discussing them or asking for further clarification seems reasonable.

I picked one of these up at a yard sale in the late 1990s for the bargain price of $1.00 US. The gent who sold it to me said he'd taken it to WWII with him when he was young. I've put a few rolls of film through it over the years,

I found that over the years, the primary problem with Golden Delicious in my area is that in the stores, they are always still partially green. They pick them too soon, ship them green, and they never fully ripen properly.

There do exist these things called "dwarf tomatoes". Also, a large pot and a few good cherry tomato seeds can blow away everything in a supermarket with little flavor bombs. I have determinate dwarf tomato plants (3 feet tall max)

I was thinking of buying an Occulus Rift, and Facebook buying Occulus is the thing that guaranteed I'd never buy one. People said it wouldn't be a problem, and now you must log in with a Facebook account in order to use your Occul

You are letting your own prejudices against your idea of "nerds" get in the way of logical thinking here. You biases are showing. "Hardcore nerd" as used here is not what you seem to think it means.

You should employ them, because you run a business that depends on IT that you'd like to keep running without paying protection racket money. Or so I presume. If you enjoy paying a mafia, then by all means, do so.
