Alastair Reynolds' "Revenger" (2016) is great. I'll not try to summarise it, my take may not be useful, but it's absolutely brilliant world-building (system building?).

That sounds reasonable and could be paraphrased to "caveat emptor". IANAL but I believe that's a reasonable thing for a court to decide should it come to that.

A quick check of what Reye's Syndrome was would have told you that it is both associated with chickenpox and the first paper to make the link to aspirin was in 1989 (add time for that information to be fully understood and disseminated

You should read all the way through the article, or read it again. The death toll is quite clearly stated.

Think about: (a) the number of wounds, (b) the age of the child and (c) that they are already ill. Also consider the very serious consequences (death). That increase in the hazard and the potential for serious illness is what makes this a

I don't think that's the point of the article. For efficacy you'd need a properly controlled trial comparing vaccinations, not deliberatly failing to vaccinate and thus endangering children.

A little info for any carers of children with chickenpox. The scabs can allow skin bacteria to infect the child. This may present as a swelling around the scab. It can become life threatening as it can quickly progress to septicaemia (sepsi

You can also hold two UK passports concurrently. It's a little workaround that the UK government allows for. It's necessary, for instance, for all of our very experienced workers in the oil industry. When the the Immigration of a

Your own experience may be of better quality teaching in the private schools but that's not borne out by the evidence, what little there is. For reference, there's the recent publication of "Posh Boys: How the English Public

Possibly because the applications are qualitatively different; possibly because the software is being produced by military personnel (aided by civilian advisors).

You should qualify which engineers you are refering to. From the article it's clear that the majority of the coding is "by a fast-moving cadre of Air Force engineers". They are Forces personnel, not civilians. Yes, Pivotal ar

The UK drug laws are, generally speaking, an absolute disgrace. I think if you wanted an example of the ways not to go about it then the UK would be a fine place to study (but not live). The apex was the dismissing of Professor David Nutt (

I think the problem is that if we wish to draw attention to your excellent content then we must repost it or at least link to it. This is where those platforms we repost on will filter the repost (thus the nickname "link tax").

It's really not very clear what the outcome of this is going to be although it doesn't look good. So "internet platforms" are going to filter all the content we post? Seeing as this isn't going to work properly what

The keyboards. The failure rate makes them a risky purchase. You could be just out of warranty and locked out of your machine. This is happening and driving people away. I personally am really going to miss that perfect trackpad as it'

To be fair, most religions seem to think it's perfectly fine to kill another person, whether in war or the prison system.

Whilst macOS requires an Intel chip to run you can still create a VM easily enough, just as long as the host is Intel. The license, however, says you aren't allowed to do this.

Quite so. The article states "no robust evidence for organics being more nutritious" but that isn't really the argument many have for eating organic veg. It's the pesticides that the non-organic vegetables have been soak

Although that may be true of many articles it is possible to check the author's credentials: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bj%C3%B8rn_Lomborg His public record seems to me to suggest he really does hold these view
