I thought most of the treatments were meant to help you recover faster, limit severity and feel better while you had the disease. I must be missing something.

You're a right, it isn't completely thankless. And it was suggested to me as a great way to increase citations was to write my algorithm to work in LAMMPs. Nevertheless, I looked at the risk-reward (and also considered the algor

Sure, but there is no reward for research departments to produce high quality code. Their job is to experiment and publish, maintainable bug free(unless it effects their code) doesn't get rewarded. With that being said there are tons

Materials do a little better under compression than tension. But yea, 267 GPa is a lot. The working stress for most high strength metals is about 1 GPa. With that being said under shock conditions for instance. That said you can locally

Perhaps because NYC significantly supports (through money outflows) the rest of the state? If they are getting taxed for it, maybe, they should get a say in how it is being used. This happens across the country and scales, economic powerho

I think the goal with the vacuum is to get to even higher speed rail which can compete with airplanes for speed and convenience. The thought being, rail has to be clearly better than flying for it work. That said vacuum comes with many te

Racism is a funny thing. Hard to make better. Good faith attempts to make it better often result in it getting worse.

I used to pick seven meals I wanted to make for the week and buy the ingredients for just those meals.

I tried grocery delivery. Its mostly work pretty well. It has changed the way I meal plan, which is buy a bunch of staples and figure out what goes together afterwards. Yes, you have to be careful about what substitutions you allow, but

I'm with you, but also there isn't really another way. Digging yourself out of poverty is slow, tedious, unglamorous and full of pitfalls which send you back to square one. The alternative is to be content with being poor. They g

Yep, they sell a product of use/interest to their community. They make even more if they own the product they sell. This does take away from them making content, but it currently is the only path towards salary replacement monetizatio

Counterpoint. As a father of a baby, I have significantly less energy and time for work. With starting a company you tend to have to plow a ton of hours and energy into the endeavor, especially if you want to move at bottleneck speed. Wit

I don't think it is a fair point to say that the American view that govs are bad because they get into the way of companies. The view is more along the lines of they are corruptible and frequently serve the interest of the business and

My wife got me these as a wedding gift present. Didn't make a difference for me--maybe a little more contrast in the different "greens". The next morning my cousin and brother (also both colorblind) tried them on and though

A free market would converge to something similar to what we have now. You neglect that people value things other than the amount of short term money to be made. People value wage stability more than getting paid their "market rate&q

Part of it is figuring out how to classify "production" as R&D. Well we need to test a prototype and in order to that we need it made as the same was as production due to structure property process relationships. Or manufactu

Death lags new case by as much as a month (due to time from infection to death). So we won't really know if there is an increase an death due to the new cases for a number of weeks after we see a rise in cases.
