Yes, there's certainly a definite limit to how long any living cell will last in absence of opposing stressors (though hormosis has some VERY interesting thoughts on this matter - highly recommend reading up on this theory as it's

Again, The Census Bureau is hardly an authority on this matter - they're concerned with the challenge of just logistically counting Americans every few years via surveys (the lowest order of the scientific method) and it's questio

>Kurzweil and DeGrey are arguing that it's already happening. It is not, there is no evidence to date that we've moved longevity in a meaningful way, nor that technology is involved in anything other than improvements in health

It's funny how this video is what everyone in IT thinks work will be like before they get their first job. Meanwhile, this is what work is actually like at every IT job: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIIWX80KBUE

The best response to this article is a quote from the movie True Romance: "Now, what we got here is a little game of show and tell. You don't wanna show me nothing but you're telling me everything."

Are you sure about this? As I mentioned, just a few days ago I had to manually download and install Intel HD drivers which were listed under "Recommended Updates"(note, the driver provided by Windows was indeed a later version of

Is this even true? Windows updates only drop critical updates and can't think of a case where updated Windows drivers were automatically installed over existing drivers without explicit request or prompting to do so (except perhaps for

This is generally a problem in various forms at firms of all sizes, so running away is simply conceding that you lack the desire to develop some of the most important skills required when moving into an elevated lead or management position:

Did you have to do this on a whiteboard or paper as part of the interview process for your job? The point: not being able to do this on a interview in completely contrived circumstances with all the anxiety that comes with close scrutiny of

This is highly unlikely - a company wouldn't be able to hire anyone they need after a stunt like this, which would serve no purpose for them anyway. Companies are acutely aware that you're still employed - it's likely a big p

I'm assuming you chose science for the basis of this analysis because scientists would be more likely to provide thoughtful replies, if any reply at all correct? I did like the analysis, but once the proselytizing kept popping up, it s

After reading this article and some of the comments, its completely clear that Apple has undeniably triggered almost the exact same effects on some people as the most addictive drugs known to mankind. It's almost mind boggling to consi

You could make that statement, but without giving a reason its less reason and more religion. Either way, I'd counter that for someone starting out, python 2 vs 3 is irrelevant - learning core features, pythonic style, exception handli

Yeah because once again, fueled entirely by assumption, you've come to determine what is the desired use and the appropriately powered laser. Your entire life must be one never ending, unfunny episode of Seinfeld. Your arrogant schizop

You seem to make an awful lot of assumptions about someone asking where to buy lasers on an semi-anonymous internet forum, in 2014. Worst advice ever? I guess because you've only seen lasers catch fire, both these statements can be tak

Laser cutter for what material exactly? Anything beyond dark paper or cardboard is going to require a very powerful (And dangerous) laser system utilizing high precision optics and expensive active cooling subsystems - not to mention it sho

This is a completely naive and subjective approach. Please enlighten me as to how you intend to tell the time in the absence of a compatible power supply and/or power grid. Or when that severely limited lithium ion battery stops taking

This rant has no relevance to the article or to anything much in general, save perhaps as an obvious illustration of projection and the proverbial chip on one's shoulder. The maladjusted low-life vagrant in the article should consider

Apparently that simple idea was lost at the highest levels of management during the YEARS they wantonly colluded with other tech companies, including competitors to suppress wages and cross hiring of the most talented technologists, plunder
