Europe and Asia are increasingly uncomfortable with a de-facto starlink monopoly, not to say the inherent risks of mandated US traffic snooping. Not that a snap of the legal fingers will change this, but it's likely in a 10+ year visio

Almost all of these uber rich hold assets as shares in enterprises they manage with mutable value. They don't diversify most of this wealth into other people's stocks. Their investment is motivated to enhance the underlying value

That's a substantive point, the GPUs are reprogrammable to do other tasks so the people who pay for massive CFD computation in Mil and Oil will have competitive offers, but I'm unsure the spectacular future value is there, if the

PCR/amplification is black magic. I'm also amazed by "no the DNA will be too old" keeps turning out not to be entirely true: People getting out of jail from re-testing evidence 20+ years later, Hominid DNA statements bei

Australian Magpies are NOT corvid but Artamidae along with the butcherbird, but they are absolutely this intelligent. They hold court over their juvelines and enforce behaviour, and they mourn the passing of members of the community. I thin

Make PR pay. $5 per PR. You can refund, but if you get snowed by 10,000 PR then you have bank to pay for the work to ignore them.

I feel the microplastics contamination story which turns out to be measuring nitrile gloves used preparing samples is in this space. We can now measure things down to levels that may exceed our ability to exclude them as contaminants, routi

If they were willing to make exceptions then I would hope the list isn't closed. I view this as the best of the possible worlds not the best of all imaginable worlds. Perhaps good was overkill. Less bad?

Good. This should be taken as the precedent for all economies: If you promulgate demonstrably false information to somebody's detriment then the owner and operator of the machine has to carry the liability. I very much hope we don&#x27

Reading these responses it's clear the biomechanics works for some, but also clearly doesn't work for others. How much this could be compensated for by physio or gym isn't clear, but it says to me that that the system may sim
