I work for the Stanford Med School, so where do you work? But regardless, you're rationalizing your own biases and agendas on outdated techniques and racing to the bottom with a di…

Keltner and Piff pretty much settled that enriched people feel entitled to not give a fuck about anyone other than themselves.

Mouse models are rapidly becoming obsolete as it's becoming easier than ever to model entire, differentiated tissues grown from red blood cell-derived adult stem cells. It's also n…

Hippies often did the same thing. It's pretty dumb to just throw compounds in your body without having a guestimate about their effects. In the future, medical clinicians won't hav…

It seems they wanted to get caught to show off and get publicity to further that. It was a pretty impressive heist but the after-execution flopped like a plane made out of mercury.…

Work-life "balance" isn't... there's a finite budget of seconds that goes to this or that; so it's how you spend them, how impactful are their results... whether it's enjoyed / "su…

There is a strong incentive for SN to stay anonymous now: extortion, GBH threats, kidnapping, tax evasion, etc. This could be some guy feigning humblebragging to fool prospective c…

Thiel skips the fact that Chernobyl is uninhabitable for thousands of years (save bloggers on motorcycles), all of the dispossessed persons and extra 40k+ cancer deaths. Plus Fukas…

It can be if it's standardized as Taylor Wilson suggests... build uniform, low pressure, high temp molten salt reactors in a factory.

This old one again. As someone who's actually worked in the nuclear energy industry, it's a common but wrong refrain... diffusion of petrochem radioactivity is much less of a liabi…

yaml is a disaster. json or toml.

WTO and TPP globalization's aim is to rollback consumer and environmental protections to the least-common denominator, making it cheaper and easier for businesses to thumb their no…

The chip is being rolled out to keep up with VISA/Mastercard's deployment of chip. Note however that chip transactions are far slower than proximity or magstripe uses, making it co…
