Drinking untreated water also only has the _potential_ to cause disease. Playing Russian roulette with a loaded revolver only has the _potential_ to cause death. Luckily, science can quantify those potentials and determine when the reward

Saying "Everyone but me is lying to you." to ignorant people who are already suspicious of corporations and science is a simple way to consolidate power. Once power is consolidated, you can then get paid by any snake oil salesman

We have a number of "living documents" that are the specification for the project I'm currently working on. It's terrible. There's no easy way to know that changes have been made or what they are. Sure, there&#x2

The graph shows the price for 3100 kWh. I'm not sure if that is a very low annual amount or a very very high monthly amount. The average US household uses 10,000 kWh annually ~833 kWh per month. So I'm guessing most Americans re

I feel there were very good reasons that airships were abandoned. I don't know what those reasons were, but unless they enumerate the reasons and explain why they have now solved them, I will assume they are also going to fail. Accord

There are blood pumps which recreate pulse. The BiVACOR does not. The Abiocor, first implanted in July 2, 2001, does have a pulse.

I agree. This is precisely why breaches keep happening and will keep happening. It cost money to implement security. There's no cost benefit to spending that time and money since there are no consequences. Businesses do not spend mon
