Bing is near useless as a search engine. I feel bad for you if you think it is returning better results than Google.

Fatal cases among nursing home patients with HIV.... yeah... Fatal cases among healthy 45-year-olds who proactively check themselves into a hospital? Not really.

Hundreds of healthy 45-year-olds die of pneumonia + MRSA in US hospitals every "few months"?!? We're gonna need to see a source for such a claim.

Sounds like somebody never played the educational kids game called "Mousetrap"... You only throw someone out of a window or poison them with a polonium isotope produced only in a very specific type of Russian nuclear reactor IF you want to send a message. On the other hand, if you want actual plausible deniability, you go for some wacky chain of events that causes rubes online to raise questions.

Pronounce it "Pesky"

Regardless, this is gonna turbo-charge foil hats. I've been trying to find ways to make money off conspiracy nuts. It's a win-win: I'd get richer, and they'd get a much-needed wallet-spanking lesson in reality. Don't think of it as manipulation, but as Professor Reality getting paid for giving lessons.

Harvard claims it's part of academic freedom, and to let the scientific process correct bad ideas, not university administration. True or not, it seems an honest stance. But it may become a practical problem if too many attention-seeking nuts sink the U's reputation.

"How would you ever get rid of a poor leader? I mean, what if ants lived *thousands* of days? We'd be stuck with a bad queen seemingly forever!"

Stick them in a Truman Show tank, giving them plenty of distractions and fake admiration to keep them out of our hair.

But in wealthy countries, the birth rate is trending toward a shrinking population. Extending (quality) life may help reverse the trend.

Ironically, restricting calories has proven to help lab animals live roughly 10% longer. Thus, there is some truth to your joke.

Thank You David Sinclair for being humanity's guinea pig! Even if it doesn't turn out to work right, I applaud you for testing. Failure is scientific data also. Someday some brave soul like yours may actually stumble on the right formula.

I personally suspect it won't work until nano-bots can trek around our body and fix age-related cell DNA mutations. I'd guestimate that's at least 20 years away for the wealthy (done overseas to avoid regs), and longer for us plebes.

Batteries are typically rated in units of energy i.e. joules or more typically MWh. While they do have a maximum power drain (and charge) raiting that's generally not a helpful number to quote since there is a huge difference in a battery that provides 500MW for 1s vs. 1 day whereas a 500MWh battery can easily be configured for multiple different power draws.

So either you mean 500MWh or else the company you quote are releasing meaningless numbers either because they do not know any better (and this is high school level physics) or are deliberately trying to mislead and neither option suggests anyone should have any confidence in the number.

More to the point, they're *guaranteed* bucks.

People don't understand the significance of risk to profitability. By underwriting 80 billion dollars of risk for banks, it's essentially guaranteeing them profits. When it's politically infeasible to spend money on something, the government guarantees loans. That's politically popular across the board because it's spending *later* money and it puts money in bankers' pockets.

I'm a Kaiser member, and there is way too much JavaScript and unnecessary layers in their crazy site. Many simple browser and HTML widget actions simply don't work because an intermediate JS layer re-translates keyboard and mouse actions to something internal, it appears. They are reinventing a browser in a browser.

And it's slow to render, with stuff bouncing around as various panels incrementally load and change the layout and flow. Thus, you often click on the wrong thing if you don't wait at least about 5 seconds.

Kaiser's IT team needs to go to KISS Bootcamp. Or stop renting outsourcers who throw layers at a problem instead of do it right.

Maybe there's a limit to data back-up systems we haven't hit yet.

So all the best sites were built on early on using outdated tech. Now the new sites that are being built on are less suitable so the capacity factor for the whole fleet drops.
