That's a great point; I'll look into it. Thank you

In my city, we have a small conundrum. The scooters move more like bikes than walkers, but the language on our bike trail system explicitly forbids any "motorized vehicles". Of course, reasonable people could argue that such a law

I suspect that's because the phone market is very hard to get into. If I remember correctly, they didn't have any carrier partners, which is how the majority of phones in the US were sold at the time (and probably still are). The

This happened previously with "chocolate" diamonds. Those undesirable diamonds were often used in industrial applications. When jewelry stores started promoting them, the cost of "ugly" diamonds went up, making some othe

My company does this to an extent, but they claim it's to avoid trouble with "co-employment". As it was told to me when I was myself a contractor (that is a regular employee of another firm who hired me to work on-site at the

My understanding is that it's a bit more than a simple coffee vending machine. It uses a similar process to that used in coffee bars (I assume along the quality of Starbucks, not your favorite super-competent local shop). It grinds the

When I read it, I assumed it would be private messages. If that's true, then it might be a bit like harassment, but not public shaming.

I wonder if it's a play similar to the coffee machine startup (whose name escapes me right now). The business is actually about putting excellent coffee robots in places that wouldn't sustain a staffed coffee shop.

It is; that's my point. As mattkrause notes below, that number is for mice with human tumor xenografts. You have to harvest a human patient's tumor, blend it up, and inject it into immunocompromised mice. If you buy them from the

It's not terrible for in vitro studies, but that would be a stretch for in vivo studies at a CRO, especially for oncology, where lots of studies require tumor grafts. It's not my area, but I think those mice can run $1000 and up p

I'm not so sure this is the right way to go about it. They give the example of cell densities, but there are also tons of things that just are never reported in in vivo papers, including the light cycle in animal rooms (mice and rats a

If I'm not mistaken, the then-CEO said it would take something like 6 years to cast off the old customers who are looking for sales and acquire their new, younger, less sale-seeking customers. The board agreed, then sacked him much ear

In my city, the docked bikes are $8 for a day pass. That's way too high an entry point for me to ride to lunch a little farther than I can walk. Not to mention that I might get on a bike and find my destination rack full, therefore hav

I guess I'm not sure I understand how this relates. Everybody already does do this. You are allowed to drop your bike off at a bike rack or on the sidewalk out of the way of traffic if you're brave (or have more faith in your ne

They were active in at least one Midwest city (Indianapolis) until last week, so $880 might not be a full-time job there, but would be a very nice supplementary income.

For now, but if I remember correctly, the goal is for these companies to offer this as their employees' health plans before expanding more broadly. For those people (and there are somewhere around a million customers between the compan

This is exactly the same logic I heard used by many people voting for Trump. The truth is that there usually is a real downside from failure, even if it feels like our huge systems are as bad as they can get. In other words, while we do h

I only visit Boulder, so I'm not positive, but it seems to me that they have tons of people coming in from the suburbs. Most of the people inside of Boulder, in my experience, tend to ride bikes and/or take public transit, but you

The rule making procedure, if I’m not mistaken, is majority vote of shares. That’s why the article says that the proposals did not pass.

I suspect this is due to a firewall between the types of content. I don't remember what interview I was listening to years ago, but I think it was Matt Cutts who said that Google has a whole porn team that makes sure that when you want

The surface area of Lake Michigan is 22394 square miles according to Google, which converts to 8.99e13 square inches. If you're only looking for one inch of depth, that is 8.99e13 cubic inches. Each cubic inch is 0.00433 gallons, so th

I'm fairly sure the push-back to this kind of point is thus: if you make it less costly (in the form of "civilian" lives, money, or whatever measure) to do drone strikes, more people are killed overall. Our government hasn&#x

If you go into any of the major retailers in the US, the iPhone is already the first-class device. Why would they want to be in the messy business of running a carrier, likely dependent on the partners they'd then be screwing over, whi

I agree completely. One thing that is important to me is that the whole self-driving field will learn from every mistake. In other words, every self-driving car should only make the same mistake once, whereas with humans, each human has to
