An LD50 of 30 mg/kg means that for a roughly average 60-kg adult, a lethal dose would be 1.8 g of pure nicotine. Were you suggesting you would have to bring a vat of it to scalding temperatures and pour it over yourself to kill yoursel

I'm not a junkie nor an addict. I have used e-cigs in the past, as I enjoy the flavor. There are liquids that do not even contain nicotine. I have used it in public. Your assertion that only a junkie would use one in a public place has

I think you misunderstood tomp's message. Certainly they didn't mean to imply there was the chance our actions are uniformly random. Rather, the question seems to be whether there is a truly random component to our decisions. The

It's a ridiculously titled article, but the point about the distribution of bitcoin is a valid one. In the U.S. for example, 34.6% of wealth is owned by the top 1%. Let's reflect on the difference: - In the bitcoin network, 80% of

I guess the question that logically follows is, will mass adoption of bitcoin as a currency help smooth out the inequalities in wealth distribution?

This is great, and something I looked into when I was pursuing my bachelors, but it's important to note this is something ONLY worth considering after finishing a relevant udacity/mit course, and then making sure the syllabus matc

I was thinking the exact same thing. I was really excited when I discovered codeEval, but after solving a few of the 'hard' challenges on there it became clear to me that hiring managers were looking for more well-rounded programm

Even worse, if it's an obscure product that suits their taste, there's a chance they could decide to order it after seeing that ad!

Wow! This is unfortunate because that person has now been primed for that gift. If it's a fairly obscure product that it was possible they hadn't heard of, then they may not be as surprised upon receiving it, and either way if the

I also see a strong future for bitcoin in this scenario. Virtual minds are going to have a hard time paying for things with cash. They'll probably want some form of currency to pay for their Amazon EC2 instances to offload various comp

In-game currencies are already a thing, but I suspect the reason they never caught on as viable liquid currency is their centralized nature.

I doubt Bitpay is shouldering the burden, more likely they're just pumping the bitcoin they receive back into one of the exchanges.

I don't know that the justice system as a whole has to account to anyone for handing out cruel and unusual punishments. I imagine in this case, they knew at the time of sentencing that the defendant was practically live tweeting his ex
