Is it really 2tb? Dropbox only offers me 1tb for the first tier. Can you post a link where you see 2tb being offered?

No amount of military hardware is effective if soldiers won't use it. Live video feed provided by cell phones can provide a way for ordinary people to see the truth, naked for what it is, instead of relying on their government. All t

I love my old phones because they were better! If old phones are a problem for Samsung and Apple, they have only themselves to blame. My Nokia candy bar phone and my iPhone 4 just worked! The interface was simple and intuitive. I can't

Dropbox is completely unresponsive to individual users. I want more space beyond the 1 TB for their personal plan. You would think they would want to take my money. How hard is it to offer more space? They offer more space to their business

I used to think the message in Dallas was "get rich". The city had almost no flavor to it and seemed all about the money. Having leaved here for a few years, I think the message is "work together". The economy is amazing

Took ~2 years to get approval to be able to seek patient permission to have their discarded tissue sequenced. Now that we are forming questions with the results, I hope it won't take another 2 years to get approval to run new tests :-&

It's fun to heap criticism on China's research. There's too many fraudulent results, as a culture they don't value out of the box thinking, ect. That kind of thinking hurts us, not China. But as a researcher in the US wo

I wish I could download this because it is so wrong. There's been a lot of amazing work in biology explaing why aging exists. It has nothing to do with physics

Bad reporting? It does a pretty good job explaining what was analyzed in the study. It talks about negative results (i.e. no effect in men, no COPD), and at the end of the article it discusses the limitations. It is a Eureka report--It&#x27

I have no expertise with self driving cars. I'm not even an engineer. But this is a case where a lot of experts might be wrong. I think there are many paths to a self-driving car, and an expert might only be familiar with their particu

I do not have the experience to support or refute the author's claim, but he writes: "The paper does not clarify what “worker” means, but I assume it means 1 CPU." That seems like way under-powered to me. It's deepmind a

I've had the exact opposite experience. Instacart worked really well for me, and Amazon Fresh was well, never that fresh. I suspect the quality of the service varies on geographic location

I have no way to assess the accuracy for the food test. But after a quick look at the company website, I saw only one employee with a degree in medicine or biology. But there are 4 software engineers! I would be a little concerned that the

If you were going to spend the enormous amount of money required to send something to the moon, you'd probably use space-rated electronics. I'm guessing the electronics make up a minuscule fraction of the cost, so why risk a super

Evolution is nothing more than dumb luck trial and error. There has to be a better way. I remember a quote from Gattaca "I not only think we will tamper with Mother Nature. I think Mother wants us to." It would be folly to think t
