I can relate with you a lot here but I don't think we necessarily suck more. I think as we become subject matter experts, our standards for what it takes to have opinions advance to the point that our dilettante interests in varied sub

I doubt GP is complaining about the law itself. The question is always more about humans, systems, corruption, and power. Omnipresent surveillance is incredibly powerful, frighteningly so. And we all know human systems are corrupted over ti

That’s interesting. I’ve always seen the promotion of free college and universal healthcare as one of promoting equal opportunity to all. While the lowest income groups have historically had low college participation, I saw it as a reflecti

As a UX person, I see good and bad when I see these sorts of websites. The good I see is that the markup is absolutely minimal, although I'm disappointed that the developer didn't give a unique name to the css in the examples. I s

It seems that this is as intended by the government in a bid to shutter the shadow banking market. The government continues to encourage leverage but only through regulated means. I wonder what defaulting on shadow loans means. What kind of

I can suppose that economic incentives don’t align for its availability in the field but it doesn’t account for the ignorance of the practitioners. Bacteriophages are almost always one of the first things mentioned when the inevitable futil

It’s been a number of years now that I have become aware of MRSA and superbugs. The moment I read on this is also the moment I have come to be aware of phage therapy as a promising path of overcoming this new threat. This article yet again

Another vote for agree and disagree. Take for example Japan - the land of anime girls on every piece of advertising. How much would the demand for human models expand if illustrated characters were not an alternative? There's a scarcit
