How were the mice sleep deprived?
Stress has been linked to poor memory for decades. Was it that stress has caused poor sleep quality and poor memory, or is it that sleep deprivation stressed the mice which caused poor memory, or both?
There's no way most CS PhD students could go on to be professors. Most professors advise many PhD students, so the number of CS professors would have to double every few decades if that were the case. Most CS PhD students move on to do research in industry: Microsoft, Google, and so on. I just got my masters degree in CS, and I actually do know where the PhDs go -- overwhelmingly to the west coast to work in industry.
I guess it's unfortunate for humanities students that there is not substantial industry that requires their abilities.
It brings up a troubling question, in this day and age of our surveillance state intelligence angencies - who'd want to sign their name on that list, which would obviously be passed over to the "watchers" as "potential troublemakers".
I thought of that myself, 2 points:
1) Anyone who would sign it is probably already on some sort of list
and
2) If we're to the point where that is a legitimate concern then it's even more important to do so.
I, for one, plan to teach my children x86 ASM so they understand the basics.. then let them find MIPS or ARM or whatever-fad-arch-is-current so they too can appreciate the design of x86.
This is just a guess but you don't actually have children yet, do you?
"Section 1033 of the tax code allows you to defer taxes when your property is taken involuntarily, like eminent domain. Mr. Sterling can argue the Clippers sale was forced on him by the NBA."
So who wants to bet Donald Tokowitz and his accountants planned this from the start?
Either that or the records will indicate that although they exist, a certain percentage of the time the stingray wasn't actually used and was just used as a way to search a home without a warrant.
Sort of like how even untrained drug dogs work.
"Ok we're going to have the dog sniff around your car/home because that doesn't count as a search, then if it alerts we have probable cause and can search you. Oh look it's alerting!"
"No it's not, it's licking its balls"
"Who is a judge and jury going to believe? Time to violate your rights!"
I wonder how far a White House petition to give Snowden a Presidential Medal of Freedom would get...
Not that he would actually get one, but to show how many people are pissed off about what the government's been doing.
He's talking about Thomas Paine.
They were routinely adding antibacterial agents to nylon when I worked in a nylon spinning plant back in the 80's. I think the practice goes back to the 50's or 60's.
Was that to protect the nylon from bacteria or to prevent bacteria from hanging around on the nylon and infecting whoever wears it next?
so they're crowd-sourcing its emotional development. *dun-dun-DUN*
...and they're seeding it with all the data from Twitter, Reddit, Slashdot, and 4chan. So this is how the world ends
"Yet researchers are somewhat perplexed as to the motivation of the perpetrators, whose targets included both Israel and Palestine, as well as Turkey, Slovenia, Macedonia, New Zealand and Latvia. The hackers also went after government bodies in the U.S. and the UK.""
Have they considered it was for "lulz"?
It's why there are no 666MHz parts. Memory, processors, buses... All 667Mhz.
Well that and 666 2/3 rounds up to 667.
Although their powers are not very impressive.
You mean our powers to change color after exposure to the sun for long periods? Ok well we aren't chameleons but you have to start somewhere.
There is a lot of peer pressure in school, and this drives people into classes they wouldn't necessarily choose otherwise... School is actually a pretty poor environment for learning anything because of this, kids who work hard get shunned by their peers, smart kids get shunned by their peers, kids who dare to choose a subject thats not seen as appropriate for their gender get shunned.
That's a problem only for certain cultures and why peer group is so important during childhood.
You decided to start WW I and WW II
How did some white kid working in a coal mine in Wales 'decide' to start WW 2?
He didn't overthrow Churchill, who as it happens was actually an angry drunken war mongering white man.
It is much harder to find a job than to keep one.
