This is an antibody, not a vaccine. It's for treating a single infection, not for conferring immunity.

If there is such a level, we haven't reached it yet. There are 40 million people in Tokyo; would that city be improved if people left?

Electrons are not transformed into photons; that would violate conservation of lepton number. Rather, an electron is accelerated by the antenna and as it accelerates it emits a photon. The electron still exists with the antenna afterward,

Water leakage is not a problem. The water goes back into the aquifer, where it should be anyway. It's a minor waste of energy and treatment chemicals, since it's drinkable water, but the water itself is not lost.

Because you're buying the tax liability as well as the benefit of the potential rent. Under a perfect land tax those are equal, so the price of all land is zero.

Huh? Of course they impose it voluntarily on themselves, and always have (look at the medieval guilds). They might use government as a figleaf, but the instigation always comes from within the profession. After all, they're the ones wh

The background texture moves relative to the foreground (pipes and walkways). That's all!

Their workplace is the public street. Of course we should get to decide how they operate.

Yes, and the cosmological-scale universe does not satisfy the constraints of SR. SR is the limit of GR in the non-gravitating limit, but the stress-energy tensor is nonzero; we don't live in a Milne universe. Motivated reasoning, reall

But our universe doesn't obey special relativity, since it has gravity; you have to use general relativity. FLRW has a preferred velocity at all points, right? Couldn't you use that to construct a global time coordinate and requir

Redshift also occurs to light emitted from within a gravity well. Obviously that isn't what's happening at a cosmic scale (our light isn't blueshifted to other observers) but it's at least conceivable that some third phe

Is this episode net bad for Google? Perhaps the kooks they hire are intended to serve as lightning rods for controversy, or as ablative shielding.

Because this is a discussion about a London company. If you don't understand the context, you should at least be prepared to learn.

Not sarcasm. If a car isn't beside you they can't side swipe you. You are aware that London basically doesn't have multi lane roads, right?

Getting side swept will not happen if you don't undertake motor vehicles and don't allow motor vehicles to overtake you.

Getting worse returns than the S&P 500 is still valuable, if those returns are uncorrelated.

If the specification is lax, it's because the expected behavior is different across platforms. C (and C++) has to support platforms where bytes are more than 8 bits, where floats are non-IEEE, and (until recently) where signed integer

If you need to write a sort from scratch it's because you're in some weird restricted environment without a standard library. Not because you need to get a few percent better performance sorting some gargantuan data set. Being abl

Of course. If there's an input checking mode, and you disable the checks, then you're guaranteeing that you won't supply invalid input.
