Absolutely. I'm quite amazed they had the guts to go through with this and I applaud it. I will support them with my dollars as much as possible.

Wouldn't that also apply to, say, a small paper notebook that the accused carries with him/her? Surely there's been plenty of people who used such paper notebooks as an "extension of the brain"...

Is it possible to restrict the number of ingredients to a given maximum? This would be very useful if you choose two very general ingredients - like I just did with 'chicken meat' and 'tomato'

Several of the best Dell laptops are sold here in Australia with a considerable markup, even allowing for exchange rate. I tried to buy an XPS variant which was considered a 'workstation' for Australian Dell and so had an exorbita

But how can something that is further away than the maximum travel distance allowed by the time elapsed since the big bang exist? Is there a non-locality of the time dimension that makes it so? Was the expansion rate of the universe faster

We should take this discussion and publish it in the world-famous (and extremely popular) "Journal of the empty set." You will find most of my work published there, too. http://pic.blog.plover.com/math/major-s

Some new results seem to indicate that merely standing might not avoid the risks currently associated with sitting down all day. This seems to point in the direction that "not doing anything" may be the underlying culprit. I wonde

Not directly related to the article, but in case someone is interested, Salomon Brothers went through some brutal scandals before imploding. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salomon_Brothers#1990s_treasur... Some of t

How difficult would it be to get up to date with their techniques? This is fascinating stuff, but I need to cover a lot of terrain to get up to speed. What's a good way to do so?

Interesting. I wonder if there are other methods to apply which could speed up app startup.

None of those examples strike me as funny; I am somewhat concerned that you can laugh in the face of human suffering. I am also not defending taxi drivers. The other day I had to take a taxi for a $9 ride and the guy was less than graceful

Why aren't we addressing the safety aspects of Uber rather than making it legal? Can we not ensure that the cars are professionally insured, professionally driven and kept up to standard and safe to be in? That should be our number one

You can trivially see that's not the case. Look at anti-vaxers vs. science. Is this two sides of the same coin? Or just two unrelated topics? Namely, science-based medicine and a fringe group of lunatics commenting on a topic they don&

That sounds like a more interesting story - do you have any links to learn more about it? (even if they are in Portuguese) Thanks!
