seeing the pivot viewer gives me warm fuzzies. It is a fantastic way of looking at a collection, unfortunately... silverlight. There is an HTML fork of it though https://github.com/openlink/html5pivotviewer

I don't know about the tax laws elsewhere, but IIRC, in the US gains from art are taxed as income, not as capital gains, which would seem to reduce their attractiveness as investment vehicles dramatically.

I'm from a typically red state. I'm fairly conservatarian, I wouldn't mind if pot was legal. But pro-legalization groups often talk about it as if legalized pot was completely void of negative externalities. And that is wrong

I squealed with laughter when I saw the first article last week. It is far past time we put away such nonsense. This week on twitter I was informed by many of these professional agitators that Sobel-Feldman Edge Detection is racist.

tl;dr - Princeton's President says that racism is systemic at Princeton. Department of Education looks to see if they violated Title IX and request all the federal funds sent to Princeton. It will be interesting to see how fast the vir

millions of people take HCQ on a daily basis for their lupus. Ask any rheumatologist, the danger of Torsades de Points is only a concern for HCQ if the patient already has a serious heart condition, or if the patient has been taking HCQ for

IIRC, this is because the aveoli in the lungs can still expel the CO2, but have a tough time with oxygen intake. It is CO2 build up that makes you feel distressed, not necessarily the lack of oxygen.

this reminds me of the letterman case. The guy got nailed for blackmail, he would have been so much better off just selling the info to a tabloid.

IIRC, if you're a seller, you have to pay extra to not have your goods co-mingled with the "same" product from other companies. It would appear that seagate didn't do that.

life in prison is usually reserved for capital crimes. But when someone acts so heinously, then they just tack on year after year. However, AFAIK, rape or even murder aren't federal crimes, unless the crime crossed state/tribal bo

From what I gather a false positive for an antigen rtPCR is essentially impossible. The primers are extremely specific and can't find something that isn't there. A false positive for an antibody test is unlikely to take up hospita

yes, it is called an ECMO machine and they're very rare and IIRC they're only really used during heart or lung transplant surgeries.

We've known for a long time that CQ and HCQ are generally safe as they're given as antimalarials. Heart arrhythmias are certainly a concern for long term use (such as in lupus), or for people with an existing heart condition. Base

I can't speak for all photos - but I'm fairly certain those 3d looking photos on FB must be taken with with a stereoscopic camera (2+ lenses). They can calculate depth when they know the distance between the lenses (and difference

62,000 in the country. Half are meant for kids and babies. Only 8900 in national stockpile. If the potential peak numbers are as bad I've seen, it sounds like they could use an extra 8900 per major metro.
