Except it does not. Human or Animal blood is not donated plasma. As a matter of fact the sources that are cited state that the biggest exporter is Ireland: > Ireland: US$3.2 billion (37.8% of total blood exports) Are you arguing that I

One should NOT accept any extreme view that sounds outrageous without data sources. The whole point of fake news is to appeal to emotion. If it is that easy to make a point as you claim, if all it takes is a link, then the journalist should

data needed to back that information up. US exports total 2.5 trillion ... basically this source claims that the US sells 25 billion dollars worth of blood plasma. Ok even if we were to entertain that idea as being true, if that amount of p

For some reason, possibly because it is overly dramatic, ridiculous and has no real data sources the article immediately felt made up, aka fake news. Then I saw this in the Wikipedia about one of the alleged sources labeled as "intervi

Awesome alternative! I like how it is all in one format. Fits right into a document I am developing.

I think the point you are making here is that money is legal tender. That puts it into a different category than stuff that is simply valuable.

amusingly, the long term the availability of bitcoin will be zero. every day someone loses their passcode, backups are lost, people die and forget to share the information etc ... eventually, over a long enough time horizon, everyone will m

something that is not limited perhaps? there is growth everywhere, every day millions of people create new value, if limited bitcoin were to represent it then it would have to rise in value - but that makes it a bad deal to spend the bitcoi

Any time WSJ or Forbes writes about the bitcoin I get the feeling that their actual frustration is that they (the Wall Stree speculators) cannot control it the way they are used to. Always feels like sour grapes to me - for some reason that

Because as I pointed out it is already implied and serves no other purpose just antagonize and rub it into someone's face. As a matter of fact it is not even clear that I am better off, I may just think I am, mistakenly. So why reitera

I just don't understand people that shell out 700 for a non-existing product. What's the rush? What would they be possibly missing out? it is one thing to jumpstart a novel product for $25 but a scooter ... really?

There is nothing wrong with not wanting kids. Makes sense. That being said I would recommend toning down the rhetoric of how much better you're off for not having kids - it rings fake and forced as if you needed to convince yourself re

don't badger the man, the world (and Earth) is much better off with fewer people, it is called quorum-sensing in science, many organisms stop reproducing then they overpopulate, humanity should do the same, if it is a philosophy that i

The article specifically calls out the Quebec experiment as having a negative impact on the children: > So, did the Quebec child-care experiment “work”? Yes, for parents and public financing. Perhaps not for the kids.

As always there may be unintended positive consequences to this. Once the monopoly of say "Word" is broken, viable competitors may arise.

I will tell you what they did. They collected data, with no hypothesis or any idea what they are looking for, then desperately fit various models until something showed up as statistically significant. Of course, you could say: how dare you

This is about junk science - that is the true danger and bottleneck to science - that reward for making unsubstantiated but grandiose claims. These do far more damage than potentially unfair criticism. I am a scientist by profession and I h

I have performed DNA studies in my career. Measuring and interpreting methylation - understanding what it is, why, when and where it is present is at its infancy at best. Sadly I have prime view how clickbaity ideas like this one drive mos

most certainly, I would fully agree that touch is an important ingredient to socialization and stimulation - it is the premature claim that it changes DNA what is so annoying and misleading. because once something changes your DNA it sugges

I think there is a high chance that is 100% bullshit. Most likely has to do with confusing cause-and-effect. It could be just as well that highly methylated babies cry more and could be more demanding or parents with highly methylated babi

This argument is missing the point - the questions is not how many people will be of age X in 2040. It is about how many homes will be released due to owners passing away in 2020 vs 2040. The very fact that there will be more older people i

Your estimate is off by almost an order of magnitude. 100g is not 10% of a person's weight. Maybe you meant 10% of calories. Also, look at the comparison. It is seaweed! Wouldn't you expect that eating 10% of your weight in seawee
