Why not? Everything I've read about Theranos seems to suggest she should have been subjecting some part of her process to peer review. “I don’t know if she’s another Steve Jobs,” said Jerry Yeo, professor of pathology at the University

Harper promised to bring in 10k over 4 years. Trudeau promised more than double that. And as I said, the Harper government's attitude to refugee claimants was just disgusting. This is what Harper's Minister of Immigration had to s

Regular, long (60min) sessions of meditation has helped me a lot. Not only will it increase your ability to concentrate on one idea for a longer period of time, it also provides a conceptual framework to get rid of the anxieties, and fears

I agree with the sentiment of vastly deregulating urban zoning conditions. However there are a couple of places where the market forces will lead to poor long-term community development. For example, outside of urban areas the market tends

Ah interesting. Personally I don't think so. He is not a postmodern author in that sense. Subversion of tropes in the fantasy genre is one thing, getting rid of literary/narrative conventions is quite another leap.

One of my favorite, subtle parts of the series is that the prisoner escape Arya engineered for Robett Glover and his men, was actually already planned. Glover had struck a deal with Vargo Hoat to release them once they were in prison to tak
