Then take the $30million and make sure there's a job for you in the new company. Maybe it's not that easy, but it seems like there could be options like that.

The other option is to choose the greater evils, right? There's a choice to be made: pick the lesser or greater evil.

You may not have read the article, but he didn't point it at them. If you watch the video, they drive right up on him and immediately shoot him.

Why not allow both? The group can have their speaker within whatever guidelines the school has (some schools ban foul language or other school-wide policies), and the other group is allowed to protest. Just like the real world where another

I don't have any data to back this up aside from personal anecdote, but it seems that while many students would benefit from more rigorous courses, the ones who don't keep up are very expensive. They'd need almost twice as ma

It makes me sick that we have to do those kinds of things to make them feel safe. They're the ones who took the job willingly. Anecdote: I was recently pulled over on a rural Arkansas road for speeding (at the front of a pack of cars o

It's not the next big thing, so much as the next big educational thing, in my opinion. It is a simple enough system to put electronic power in the hands of people who wouldn't otherwise have it. They learn some basics of coding, s

As someone who works in pre-clinical pharma research, thank god someone is doing this. Projects get killed because they would lead to a drug that would require very expensive clinical trials. Often, this is because the patient population is

This looks remarkably similar to Audible's unsubscribe flow. I was a member, but I've had less time to listen and increased my podcast count, so I decided to cancel and pick it back up in a year or so. They ask a million times if

They've also been offering to pharma companies the ability to help find cohorts of patients to make clinical trials much cheaper. Say we have a drug we think works in a sliver of patients with muscular dystroph; we can either go screen

But SWAT doesn't go in with the intent to kill (supposedly). They go in with intent to arrest or neutralize which may require killing, but could be shooting until the threat is neutralized and then calling medical help. A bomb has only

I'm not the parent commenter, but I agree with them. The truth is that the number of officers killed in the line of duty this year is below 60 (the source hadn't updated since last night) and many of those are accidents, not malic

Intent. Police officers with firearms are only supposed to fire them to end immediate danger to themselves or others. Sending in a robot with a bomb is much more of an execution.

In the research world, there are tons of machines aimed t measuring everything about rodents. There are implants that measure blood glucose levels every few minutes, treadmills that spit out every parameter about how a mouse walks, and MRIs

According to the correction posted above, 6 were female and all females became openers, while only some males became openers.

Odd to me is that they use 24 males and only 6 females. In my work (which is biology), we would usually use the same group size unless we had reason to know better. For example, there's a new-to-us model that we think might have differ

This becomes apparent when you try to co-house rats and mice. Litter mates are much less likely to fight.

I think that's Warby Parker. They're few years in now, but their low-cost acetate frames are pretty much the norm.

I suppose it would be very expensive to produce decent content for ad-free streaming distribution, because they'd have to fill a whole hour. Take Mythbusters and cut out all the repetition and ads; I bet it ends up around 12 minutes th

Just curious, but do you think companies you consult care enough to switch? It's usually easier to just renew, and I wonder if consultants have the leverage to get customers to care.

Trump is the special interest. People seem to have this notion that Trump won't do stuff that only benefits the rich because no one paid him to. Instead, he is taking out the middle man. In other words, electing one of the Koch broth

So if the US wanted him, they could file the appropriate charges and just ask the UK to extradite him here instead of Sweden? Then what? He leaves the embassy and how does the UK decide where to send him first?

They don't seem to do much of that kind of kidnapping to put people on public trial, do they? The only case I know of was Eichmann's extraction to Israel. I assumed (but I'm not sure) that those kinds of operations were kept
