No? You can't find one rational reason for the UK government to want extra cash?

I think they mean in order to actually make a profit it needs to be running nearly endlessly.

Why is it that their Android app hasn't been updated in three years?

I'm not sure I understand the Foursquare argument. Is gamifying unethical? They aren't really making users "gamble" so the casino analogy doesn't really work for me.

IIRC, they were also the first to get a card reader into that form factor. They were the first to make mobile credit card payments feasible.

I'm just a student doing research, trying to use their code. I don't even want them to fix the code, I just wanted to ask the primary sources about how they implemented a few things. I don't have to ask them, I could go to so

Currently having this problem right now. The authors also don't respond to emails either.

I think it's because you know significantly more about the legal battle than the average person. Now, a jury may not be convinced by this stunt, that I'll give.

Is it baffling? They're doing what they can to influence the public (and jury, as impartial as they will try to make it).

I have a CS education, but have no real experience. So now, as a biomedical researcher, trying to rapidly prototype for medical devices and developing software is extremely daunting. I don't think these prideful people understand just

I think a web development class I took in college a few years ago spent maybe two or three class periods on SQL. Felt like enough to get by with, and learn more as you go.

Why wouldn't you always use something that is tried-and-true? MongoDB is relatively new compared to something like postgresql or even mysql.

I can't respond to the original comment anymore, but I'll just throw it under yours because it tipped me enough over the edge that I thought I would respond. To help provide some counterpoints: > The National Childhood Vaccine

I don't think anyone disagrees with that. Americans are pretty unhealthy.

So for any researcher using environmental data, would they need to involve the EPA in it for them to take action on the results in the future?

I don't own an iPhone currently, but I haven't had any problems with Gboard on a number of iPhones that I've used that have it. Is your statement applicable to all third party keyboards, or most of them?

Have any researchers tried writing their papers in something like google docs so that it can be collaborative? I will be writing my first paper in a few months, and would appreciate a better way than "track changes" in Word for co

I see what you're saying, thanks. Also, as far as I know health insurance companies can't charge different rates based on genetic testing. How would this be different, than, say, laws preventing car insurance companies from chargi

Me and a friend were talking that idea a few weeks ago. You'd need to further include what insurance plan that consumer was on as well, so know what the hospital would charge knowing that information. Crowdsourcing it would make it sig

Isn't it still insurance though, as in insurance against tremendous healthcare costs without it? Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but I thought the definition of insurance was just protection from loss

Wouldn't insurance companies want people to get preventative care over reactive care, to lower their own operating costs? I know that Cigna is a big proponent of this, but I can't think of any others that do the same.

Even in that case, why wear the ring in the picture? Edit: On second look, that picture looks to be a stock photo, not one of the dates the author went on.

Where was this in the comments from yesterday about the California glyphosate listing? Would have liked to have seen these articles there. Going to have to read them a bit more and then get back to you.

by epmaybe 9y ago
Seems to me that the evidence surrounding this isn't strong enough to warrant designating glyphosate as "cancer-causing" for humans, but the evidence surrounding the adverse effects in animals is pretty strong (based on my sk

Incorporate a browser, perhaps? I am a student, so when I use Anki for classes I generally have to look up that idea to get the concept down. Would be pretty cool if you could have that integrated.

But a pound of rice takes up more physical volume than a pound of meat, right? I also would have thought that meat was more energy sense given the fat content, but that is fascinating!

Agreed. Cardiovascular disease is definitely multifactorial, as are most diseases without a known genetic cause. Even those diseases with a clear genetic abnormality, the other factors contribute to the development of said disease.

Those are scientifically accepted ideas, but I haven't read Taubes' book. If he didn't say it, maybe you heard it elsewhere.

People in India have eaten Betel nuts/leaves for generations, yet that causes oral cancer. Doesn't seem like sufficient enough evidence to me that traditional foods = healthy.

It's less dense, so you generally feel more full than if you eat more dense foods like meats. That's just personal experience though.
