Then there's the fact that damn near every economist will tell you that a vibrant after market increases the value of first time sales. Heck, that's self evident, when you know something keeps a good chuck of it's value, you feel more confi

I think if you studied it, you'd find that most people who start out with a lot of money, end up with less, not more I don't have any hard proof to cite right now, but I have a gut (Steven Colbert like) feeling the history of capitalism p

What I found most interesting is the detailed analysis of the expect costs and benefits. What I strongly disliked is how it was cast in jocks vs nerds theater. I understand that Slate's readership isn't HN's readership, and that just the fa

It is pretty bad, there's only a theoretical cream that may be in use some day, many years from now and it may reduce infection rates. If you take the article at face value, we just cured HIV. And IMHO articles like that are VERY bad becau

There is no such thing as "missing" links. We have a theory about descent with modification, and we have a theory about the age of the earth and together they make useful predictions about where you are likely to find bones similar to older

Well, since it's now in at least one human, we're finding out what the side effects are as we speak.

Thank you for the link, this is great stuff. The longest the AbioCor heart functioned in clinical trials was 18 months, while continuous flow devices are being designed to operate for 10 or more years. Frazier also says continuous flow pum

Up next, a 1950s computer vs an iPhone, a TV from 1950 vs a modern day TV, what else can we compare? Everything! Technology has progressed, how about that! Besides the omg look at the crash shock factor, what does this tell us? The only thi

It's absolutely worth campaigning for but if governments were logical and followed value, we wouldn't need this. My original example used failed states, but can you image pitching this to Alabama or Massachusetts? Perhaps we can speculate t
