Is the NTP synchronization done with only a single packet? Because otherwise you'll be interrupting connections constantly.

This feels like one more end of an era. Though I wonder if the opening of relations between the US and Cuba might have been the end of that era. In any case, Fidel lived long enough to see the American overreaction through most of it's

So if I wanted to donate my computing resources and bandwidth to hosting this, should I just install the plugin and leave chrome running on my "server"?

You know how I know you're in Europe? Because the idea that it's controversial in the US hasn't already numbed you. And that it's still morning here on the east coast :)

To be fair, that broke the paradigm of your OS not being able to brick your hardware. This had rarely been an issue before, and most people would have assumed it wasn't even possible.

More like editing some config file under the WSL folder with Notepad++ and discovering you destroyed it.

This is true, but I wanted my comment to be short and pithy :P

It is interesting that they're making it seem like a new app, when they're actually augmenting an existing (and seemingly forgotten) app. I was a little confused about the app/update at first, given that I'd had Mozilla

So after blowing up Facebook's Internet-providing satellite, they're going after their own constellation. I do wonder how this will affect potential customers who would launch communications satellites on SpaceX, but are worried a

That's understandable. But the idea here is that the entire process of testing a drug is extremely transparent to the FDA. In a typical scientific paper, the researcher worked on something for months or years, all the while keeping the

But that's not how drug trials in the US are conducted. Drug companies work with the FDA from the start to get a drug through phase-1 and phase-2 trials. There's just simply no opportunity to test out a drug in 100 different studi

So, it would be extremely time consuming and cumbersome and expensive for the FDA to replicate the procedures of the manufacturer's study just to confirm the result. You're right that the FDA isn't replicating the study. But

Ah, thank you, I looked at the definition for both and couldn't figure out which one I wanted. I blame the OS X spotlight dictionary :)

The FDA mandated that this study be conducted. There was no chance of Pfizer sweeping the results under the rug, as the FDA was watching the whole process.

You should check out http://www.fda.gov/drugs/resourcesforyou/consumers/ucm143534... , it gives a good overview of how this works.

No, the FDA is staffed by myriad professionals in biotech and drug testing and any number of relevant fields. They pour over the methodology, the results, and ensure that the study was conducted accurately and appropriately. We have these r

Well it could certainly be more ideal, but how you could achieve a better situation would require rearchitecting a significant chunk of the US healthcare system. I'm personally in favor of publicly funding drug research and open sourci

There is the iPad Pro for example. With a 4G connection and a decent terminal, it could be quite useful for managing things on the go. There's also just the scenario that I don't have my laptop but could really use an SSH terminal

Not really, this study was required by the FDA to be performed by Pfizer. That's how drug safety studies are always conducted in the US, by the drug maker under the supervision and guidance of the FDA. http://www.fda.gov&#x2

Pharmaceutical manufacturers are always required to perform safety studies on their drugs in the US. There's nothing unusual about this. There's no prescription drug you can take here that is actually tested by the FDA. They work

Well, $20 USD. Not sure what $ you mean. If you aren't SSHing to boxes from a mobile device often enough that $20 doesn't seem worth it, then this likely isn't for you. I for one would pay that at the drop of a hat if I only

I don't think the left ever widely professed a desire for a non-establishment candidate from the right. They were much more worried about how the Republican party has veered right over the years. This has led them to adopt extremist vi
