Couple the heavy vaccination schedule with advances in food safety and constant household cleaning; these kids might have little besides flu and rhinovirus to train their immune systems, and that doesn't seem like a sustainable course.
You don't seem to understand that "training their immune systems" is exactly what immunizations do.
We are actively changing the fitness function for diseases to include "must be resistant to antibiotics, must be resistant to antivirals, must be able to infect even immunised people, etc", this will inevitably lead to bugs that fulfil these criteria... eventually.
By this logic, we should be expecting bullet-proof cattle and thresher-proof wheat any day now, not to mention hook-resistant fish and armored potatoes...
The Westboro people turn my stomach.
He ADMITS to being right ONLY 1% OF THE TIME. How is it possible we continued to pay attention to him!?!
Because when he was wrong he admitted it, rather than rushing to print. And when he was right, he was very, very right.
it's interesting that the Somali language has no word for autism,
People in Somalia probably have more urgent and pressing problems to deal with than naming diseases whose definitions are vague and poorly defined.
Anyone who thinks that Google is doing this out of the kindness of their hearts is silly.
Google doesn't care whether you have high-speed access. They want to be able to trace your browsing and other internet usage habits, and they want to make sure they can serve up their ads in a way that minimizes the requirements on their resources.
Finding the funding for an alien telescope array is the first step in actually finding the alien telescope array itself...
"So, everyone will use this unified query language?"
"Yes, it'll be great. No need to rewrite things when moving from one database to another."
"Sounds great. Portable apps! Hooray!"
"It amazes me that nobody has ever done anything like this before."
"Yes, in hindsight it's blindingly obvious. There should have been a single query language all along."
"A single query language--we could call it `S-QL` or something like that."
"Nah, I heard that there's already something called SQL. People would get them confused."
"Why? They're probably totally different things."
"Yeah, probably. It's better to make up new names than to risk confusion. So, what's it called?"
"Uncle."
"Isn't that what you say when you surrender?"
"Yes, but in this case there's no possibility of confusion."
They sure seem to be collecting a lot of data by accident...
My friends at Google swear up and down that every line of code in the Google codebase is reviewed several times before it is signed off and released for any purpose. Some would have caught this; it's obvious from the data what is happening. So, either my friends are liars, or Google is. I trust my friends more.
Those are particularly harmful to the brain.
Neat.
Thanks for all the tips.
