the headline is a reasonable abstraction from the legalese which you quoted. if the feature isn't FCC compliant, as taxpayers we are to assume that it exists outside of the law and is thus not something we can depend upon. in any event

theoretical knowledge frequently fails to capture the engineering possibilities of exploiting a phenomenon. example: we understand all of the relevant theories to explain how an ant can carry something that is many times heavier than itself

the poor warding isn't as big of a handicap with robots as it would be with humans for humans, wards give you extra time to react to enemy movements and arrange ganks, check runes, etc. but the robots don't really need the reactio

I assume that the robots are god-level last-hitters and farmers. perfect farming efficiency is enough to beat 99% of human teams. most players struggle to get 50 last hits in the first phase of the game, nevermind actually get every single

russia is one pole in a multipolar world since the end of the cold war. the russian invasion of ukraine was an attempt to salvage a geopolitical rout in which the US politically captured ukraine, an area under russia's dominion for rou

as i said, there are multiple parties at play. someone wins when someone else loses. personally i would prefer if we would step back from that kind of "realism" theory, but that's how the people like kissinger have played pol

benzodiazepines are the effective treatment for panic attacks. they're flawed for a lot of reasons, however: addiction potential, rebound anxiety, reduction in emotionality / cognition, weakening of short term memory, somnolence,

the entire FDA approval process was heavily gamed before, and is probably even more heavily gamed now. i'm talking about companies specifically starting drug discovery -- without anything in hand -- targeted at diseases where there is

my experience is that marketing people care nothing for quality or veracity of "facts". if it looks good, it goes.

chiming in to agree here. for something along the lines of basic organ system operation like blood flow, you need only a small sample to show that there is an effect. example: a sample of 12 people would be more than enough to prove that pe

treating addiction as a disease has brought us drugs like chantix (varenicline), among others. it is very profitable for them to first create an addiction, then offer the solution. i agree that the drug companies will continue to profit fro

i agree regarding the widespread overstaffing and the ubiquitous e-loafing, but the issue is more complicated than that. it's possible to not do very much work at work but still suffer from the bad lifestyle factors: sitting all day, b

it still has the same flaw: think about how many people get off at a major stop on the subway. without the inclusion of any security apparatus whatsoever, there are still hundreds of people who are clumped up as they exit. the security appa

you're not thinking like a terrorist when you imagine it being incredibly effective. people on a subway are dense and easy targets, sure. but if you place a scanner before people get into the station, you've merely moved the place
