Ouch, that’s a raw deal. Very very very sorry about you. If you don’t mind me asking, what are the consequences and mitigations necessary to live with a total stomach removal?

Well, CO2 asphyxiation is so far the most humane approach to butchering. I remember a YouTube of a journalist looking for the most humane technique to administer capital punishment and it turned out that during co2 asphyxia the victim goes

The mild weather after a scorching summer is turning the continent into a desert. Without an exceptionally wet and cold winter the European water basins will be toast next year. The italian Pianura Padana has seen one of the worst droughts

That Riak based platform they presented eons ago at a Meetup in Amsterdam could have been a mind-blowing real-time traffic flow optimizer. But I think it just withered to an API for syncing your POIs across devices. SMH

Well, you don't need to download the whole world data-file to play the game. All you need is to stream whatever you can possibly interact in the next couple seconds.

Never seen the previous sites but I get the impression they were free CC stuff. The author flipped out when he got _required_ to implement accessibility for a best-effort, free thing he gave away and is now commercializing; maintaining it u

That's all very nice and yeah, we've all read the essay about "creative destruction" but what happens to the Intellectual Capital that gets annihilated, sold pennies on the dollar and left to whither in useless portfolio

Well then the title is indeed misleading. It's not the colonoscopy that's failing to reduce cancer death rates, treatments are. Indeed the title should have been: with colon cancer deaths unchanged, screening and pre-malignant tre

Molten salt reactors are nothing new. It would be truly wonderful if these folks solved the corrosion issues associated to circulating high-temperature molten salts, and the ever-recurring military-grade fuel proliferation risk associated w

No, in Iran the government has the same monopoly and uses it to pursue its own ends alright. It’s the process that leads to its use, and the purposes that differ.

That’s a false argument. There’s no activity that of itself produces 50% of humanity’s emissions. Every single one is “not worth reducing” because the bulk is always somewhere else. Nope. Every .1% reduction counts. That’s how we got here,

Well, one of the most interesting and exiting outcomes would be renewed interest in the study of Electromagnetic interactions at cosmological level (not just signals to observe other processes). One of the features of Big Bang is how it’s s

I don’t think anyone thinks fields exist, physically at least. They’re mathematical constructs that model certain operations but there’s no EM field or G field by itself, independently of a physical particle expressing these forces
