People tend to lose sight of the fact that something like 99.9% of interactions between police and civilians involves no violence at all.

Yes, a serious error of judgement was made letting these people storm up the stairs. Hopefully cause of stupidity and not malice.

It was quite the adventure watching this all on TV from Europe. One thought that comes to mind is that I'm sure the most heavily armed nation in the world could have gotten rid of these people in no time, but perhaps they didn't b

It's not useful to them. And even if it was, they'd be breaking half a dozen rules at the risk of getting the whole study trashed and billions lost, for almost no benefit. Getting a study invalidated is the nightmare scenario of e

Yeah, wherever they are usually stored. As I said in another comment - the only data the pharma company gets to "take home" is anonymized (partially, ie. a number instead of a name) and blinded (you don't know if they receive

Those are never, ever stored with the pharma companies. If FDA finds out they are you can close shop.

In clinical trials companies only get access to patients' medical history by looking at it wherever it's stored (hospital, doctor's office). It can not be "taken home" or downloaded or whatever, for confidentially r

Wireless, in ear, multiroom, bluetooth audio stuff is generally a separate world from traditional hifi (= amplifier + wired speakers) so it's important not to compare apples to oranges. Over the past 10 years or so it's the tradit

My defence would be that Apple isn't an audio company and although they're great at everything they do, I doubt they can catch up with Sennheiser, Grado, Audio Technica etc when it comes to pure audio quality. Where they're b

This looks great. Tried it out with two videos and the resulting text seems to cut off around 3500 words.

Doesn't work unless there are subtitles (WARNING: video doesn't have subtitles), which seems to be different from captions.

Weren't you a (very depressed) newcomer yourself? Don't take it bad but someone in an already bad mental state taking 2g more than what McKenna considered a god dose is pretty ... irresponsible (?)

About 5 yrs ago a pharmacist in Bangkok sold me amoxicillin no questions asked. In the country side or in Laos or Cambodia it's even easier. Same for India and probably most of Africa. An extra 10$ goes a long way.

Uighurs have been committing terrorist attacks since way before these camps have existed: 1992 Ürümqi bombings, the 1997 Ürümqi bus bombings, the 2010 Aksu bombing, the 2011 Hotan attack, 2011 Kashgar attacks, the 2014 Ürümqi attack and the

The article says this genocide should stop yet there's not a single mention of anyone dying. Hundreds of camps have been spotted, plenty of interviews given by ex-detainees. No doubt Uighurs are being detained en masse but I wonder how

1kg of coke becomes 3kg of crack ... I seriously doubt that. When you cook crack you wash any impurities out of the coke (and convert the salt to base). If anything it should weigh less (I think?).
