Yikes. Questionable source trying to sound scientific. The author is anti-vax, disputes the connection between saturated fats and heart disease, suggests vegitabnoe oil is more dangerous than animal fat; and that vaccines in general cause most disease. Studies and stats cited do not appear to be widely accepted. Draw your own conclusions.

This corresponds with what I've read previously about brain activity following clinical death. What appears to be the case is that the brain continues to work for a period after the heart stops and a last breath is taken. So what that might mean is that if one is with a person who has just died, a relative or friend, there is still a moment, just a moment, to say good bye and I love you. And it is comforting to know that during that moment, the brain of the deceased might just be reliving all the greatest moments of that individual's life.

I always ask myself, in matters philosophical: What would Wittgenstein say? Is this a useless exercise in cognitive copulation, or not?

Of course they do, and this is why medicare for all is a great idea. It strikes me as rather perverse that health care is largely a for-profit business and that even non-profits (like systems associated with religions) are all about cutting corners and maximizing revenues. It seems logicl to me that health care be a right.

Odd? I don't think so. Just like the Fibonacci sequence appears all over nature, so do other architectures. Evolution has, apparently, standardized on architectural infrastructure - and replicates it across a broad variety of environments.

In actual fact, though the new network is experiencing record downloads of new titles like Mulan, it's daily user numbers are abysmal, only 3% of the available market. So their older content is evidently just not appealing, which is a problem going forward.

My wife and I are looking into living in Mexico, if we sold our home in the US, we could afford a small place in Mazatlan for the winter, and in one of the mountain villages for the summer.

Unpopular opinion: Remembering with great fondness Quarterdeck's DESQview/X, the open systems, off-the-shelf windowing environment that could have won the windowing war. How life would have been different if it had...

I made a national organization (AARP) change course and issue corrections regarding their Coronavirus volunteer program with a single blog post on Medium. (They had been sending members to an open, Google spreadsheet where their info was public). https://medium.com/@doncarlitos/maintaining-privacy-while-vo...

This reads a lot like quackery to this former RN & nursing educator. Good nutrition is, of course, a great way to stay healthy, but this article isn't really helpful in that regard.

Disclaimer: Not a hardware engineer, nor a CP/M aficionado (though I definitely remember Gary Kildall), but a former AST Research (later AST Computer) employee. AST was an "expansion board" manufacturer turned systems OEM. During the transition from memory and connectivity boards to desktops, the company's top hardware engineers explored an architecture they based on an "intelligent, arbitrated, multi-master bus." The notion was to speed up operations and increase power by designing a bus that accommodated multiple processors (on boards, of course) operating independently - arbitrated by a central CPU. It never flew - but I always thought it an elegant model. This was in the 1986 timeframe, long before GPU's became popular.

Great, (very) deep dive into a well-known cartel. Also a lesson in the power of marketing, advertising & PR. But from 1982... I'd be interested in hearing about contemporary outcomes of the events described.

Google NEVER helps - with anything.

Edit: "...has collapsed."

And still, the rich get richer, the powerful even more so... cutting barbed wire hasn't changed anything. Casts some serious shade on the power of crypto-anarchy to change anything. Anarchy, like libertarianism, are lovely notions with no direct roots in reality. Here's hoping blockchain democratizes and makes more transparent at least part of the puzzle.

Great idea. Good luck. I did notice a few grammatical and spelling errors on the homepage. Easily corrected. And, the content reads like a non-English speaker wrote it. Also easily remedied. The initial page needs to reflect the creativity of the idea and the professional nature of the developers. I could help, as could many others...

Try being over 60 & gettind cred. "How could you possibly understand bleeding edge tech and emerging trends?" Well...I've lived there for four decades, you?

Harry's is so much better at razors & blades. Tried them both. Hated Dollar's hardware. Love Harry's razor... and their blades are superior as well.

Nadella has surpassed expectations to date, he has a plan, and is implementing it in a rigorous and competent manner. I expect the next year will be a good one for the "ruffians from Redmond." And I just can't stress enough how important it was for Balmer to yield when he did. Steeped in the past and his old ways, he wasn't the new leadership the firm required. Nadella is just that.

Don't forget that Testosterone "feeds" prostate cancer, and that most men will have one variety of prostate cancer or another by age 75. It's often slow growing, but if one feeds it, a different story. So potential "T" users should think twice about messing with this particular hormone.

Craig Matthews, cited and pictured in the article, is my son-in-law's father. He's told this story a few times in my presence and I've always got the chills. What this article doesn't mention is that when he grabbed the floating cable, the size of a man's arm, with the grappling hook, the two vessels were both riding up-and-down on monster waves. So first, they had to synch both up to even make the grab possible. To hear him tell it, it was a totally hair-raising experience. His peers now know him as "The guy who tied THAT KNOT on THAT DAY." It may be the most famous "Bowline" knot ever after that write-up.

What greenyoda said is accurate. Don't panic, fight. You should immediately file an assertive response. That's what I did in a similar situation on YouTube not long ago. It only took a day or so for the infringement claim to be dismissed and my video re-instated. Speak up now.

From my experience, there is a period of about a year from launch (depending, of course, on marketing budget) where sales are pretty consistent - taking into account expected seasonal variations. After that, sales start dipping pretty dramatically - in the absence of meaningful updates/revs. At that point, an increase in marketing/social media dollars can prop-up sales for a spell, but not for long without revs. If one builds-in localization from the beginning and launches with multiple language versions it can ease the pain considerably. And, of course, taking the game to new markets like iOS, STEAM and PC will add new revenue streams.

On a related note... I can report that Trilobyte Games just inked an agreement with Angel Valley Media of Sun Valley, CA for a one-year license for film/TV rights to "The 7th Guest."

Homes constructed from standardized shipping containers make a lot of sense on a lot of levels. First, size and spec are standardized. Second, construction is rugged. Third, the size of most containers lends itself to multiple-container configurations and thus to design flexibility. Fourth, they last a long time if maintained. There are a number of excellent web-based resources available through a simple search.

Then again, this just went up on Kickstarter recently https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/857935876/privus-fully-...

In the medical informatics field, where privacy is a federal mandate with significant penalties attached, a lot of work is being done with trust-based secure email gateways to popular email platforms like gmail & yahoo. One company I know of, and am not affiliated with, is called iMedicor. Hoping this thread gets a lot of great responses, starting off with this small offering.

With all due respect, asking coders to weigh-in on marketing may not be your best move. It may be more productive for you to join some Linked-in software/digital marketing groups, then pose the question there. The simple answers to your questions are: don't just depend on ads, but tightly target the ads you do use; use PR to the extent you make key editors, podcasters, bloggers and twitter personalities aware of your site; make a Facebook fan/site page; open a Twitter acct., follow key people in the travel/hospitality industry, then get them involved... it's a lot of work. The alternative, fund marketing and hire a firm to do it for you.

I have used a Samadhi Tank, and they are awesome beyond belief. Highly recommended.

No!! First Wave, now this. It's a question of trust & honest transparency. Why should anyone trust Google ever again?
