If the contamination levels are above the legal limits, please report them. Otherwise, this article seems more politically motivated rather than a focus on public health. We are all cannibals and coprophages, so what?

Do you define driving after having a glass of wine during a meal as being "under the influence of alcohol"? If so, your position that everyone would answer "no" is severely flawed.

Overeating can ruin lives. Is food inherently dangerous? People can misuse anything. The question is not "Is Suboxone dangerous/addictive?", it is "Is Suboxone LESS dangerous/addictive?”.

Relapse is common, regardless of the drug. Opiate addicts can be rehabilitated. Suboxone is much, much less euphoric than Oxycodone. Suboxone is abused much less.

The act is closer to that of an "asshole", rather than a journalist. Calls 'em like I sees 'em.

You two have my support. A psychiatrist acquaintance told me some people almost reflexively lose control and must take advantage of a chance to belittle someone in a customer/server scenario.

Contentedness might be a more logical goal. Be emotionally open to either happiness or sadness by default.

I had a stuck pixel on this very Nexus 7. It stayed red for a few days as I played some 24hr YouTube vids that used the exact same principle. After ~2 days, no wonky pixel. Honestly, I think it was temp fluctuation, but whatever... it is fi

Care to explain why? (unethical) Aside from stating your own skills, employability, and high standard of ethics, your post is lacking useful info about HFT.

Linux supports more scheduling/QoS algorithms. Most of the recent (~10 years?) academic papers on packet queuing algorithms implement their algo in Linux.

If you prefer pain and inaction... Honestly, I do not understand what your point is. Could you explain? (With less attitude?)

Seriously. Assuming humans are the pinnacle of intelligence (or anything) is so boring. I will celebrate AI Day. The day we were surpassed by our creation, in every way.

He definitely explained things well and proved he has a deep understanding of the larger situation. I wish more people were so involved and passionate about their field of work.

Although my post did have legitimate reasons for criticizing, I really just meant to poke a little fun at someone who is obviously more dedicated and passionate than the majority. I meant no harm. You are most probably accomplishing the typ

Someone once told me, "you are far too interested in what you have to say". I think that applies to this write-up. I mean, it was educational and somewhat entertaining, but the lack of professionalism bothers even me, and that&#x2

It would have been great if the man did actually have an understandable excuse like you have shared, but he did not. Well, if he was simply igornant that his actions were uselessly risky, I might understand that, but... I am still suspiciou

If someone wants 16k, they can wait the 30min it takes me to go to the bank and get a cashiers check.

When I bought my first vehicle, friends and family told me to get a cashier's check and not carry a large sum of cash across state lines, for a few reasons. Yes, I had the right to do otherwise, but without a logical reason to do so, w

Being suspicious of someone carrying 16k in cash across the country to start a music video business seems logical to me... There need to be better examples (of which there are) of governmental abuse before people will care. I suppose we hav

I woud just keep it in the bank. Was he just going to go find someone and give them 16k for a music video company? 16k in cash just makes very little sense to me.

My point was; if you carry cash in large amounts and lose it, then you did not prepare. Carrying around your life savings in cash is a very bad decision, because _anyone_ can take it and you have very little recourse. I ask because there ar

I keep seeing these stories and, yes, civil forfeiture is a problem, but why are these people traveling with CASH in these amounts? I always get a cashier's check or similar since it offers me some protection.

I REALLY wanted to like Manjaro, but it was too buggy. When it was running, it was a smoother, more functional GUI than my barebones Openbox window-manager, which was great. But... During the past 5+ years, I rarely ever had a problem with

Bitcoin has also pushed the art of cryptographic hash calculation forward. This helps us better understand how to protect ourselves from large-scale (government) brute-forcing of password hashes, for example. As others have said; Bitcoin is
