You are missing the point. (And must not need bifocals!)

It would be useful if I could put one IR-capable contact lens in one eye, while having a regular lens in the other eye. This would be fantastic for driving at night, or hunting those pesky pack rats that live in my backyard.

Many people who need bifocals use a different lens in each eye for distance and reading. Some also get laser-corrected to this state. Most peoples' brains are able to successfully merge the different images, but some are not. (So it is better to try it with contacts before lasik!!!)

Look up "geologic timescale" and compare those times that to the lifespan of anyone that you know.

Then think about if human recollection is useful in any way for anticipating earthquakes.

I'd be more likely to afford it if the alternative was being buried alive under 40 feet of mud.

If you RTFA you'd know that they were only slowing down the cell's metabolic reactions by a factor of 10 or so. They aren't stopping the reactions which, under normal conditions, would result in brain damage after 5 minutes. Thus, for deep space travel (say 1 year of time), you'd need to slow the reactions down by a factor of 10^5. Thus, it is unlikely that this technology would be adaptable to meet that need.

You'd have more luck working out how to freeze the body without tissue damage from water expansion (for example, by replacing the water with a compatible chemical surrogate that did not expand when it froze). At that point, you could deep freeze the body and effectively stop most molecular transport.

Don't worry!

The government is likely working to remove that pesky probable cause standard required to arrest someone.

Their operating standards will soon all be consistent!

The "inner retard" is a result of our educational system and societal values. We train people poorly and then create a lot of menial jobs that further blunt their scientific acumen.

Thus, most exciting space objects are sufficiently complex that most people without geophysics or fluids PhD's cannot grasp the significant of them.

Also, for most cases, a rock in space is not much more exciting than a rock on earth. Even with the present comet images massaged and stretched to their limit, we can't even see the core. Instead, we are shown two jets and told that scientists will now be able to measure the rotation axis and rate of the nucleus.

Why is this important? How will it help our understanding of anything other than this particular comet? The only short explanation given:

is both unclear to the layman and also quite boring!

Also, at night you can go outside, look up and see lots of objects further than 353 million miles away. So it really isn't that unique a capability. (I know you left some qualifying details out of your comment, but since you are insulting the general population, I thought that I would point that out!)

Yeah, and they will spin this concept to argue that they need more money so that they can hire:
1. better quality staff,
2. more training for the staff they have,
3. advanced software,
etc...

Despite not being well respected, he was able to keep the NSA under control during his tenure!

If they are worried about "making the game easier," they should be using the old wooden drivers and steel "irons" that I learned to play with.

Companies only see green. They don't care about any other color, unless it equates to more green.

Rather than force the companies to hire people who they don't think are qualified, why not sponsor some minorities for 7+ years to them interested in CS and get them a good degree in CS.

Or better yet, Jesse should shut his mouth, go get a technical degree himself, and then do some real work. IMO, he talks a good game, but he doesn't back it up with his lavish lifestyle.

Just to be clear for those who didn't read the article, this entire study is based on four brighter than expected pixels.

Really?

She is a bleach blonde playboy model that only graduated high school. Other than being a recipient of botox and breast implants, she has no medical training or experience.

Why are people taking medical advice from her over their doctors?

The only way to get through to the anti-vaxxers will be to give them a choice: get the shot or be quarantined with the other anti-vaxxers in a remote region of the country with no travel allowed. Nature will take its course.

Well, Americans don't really care about anything happening outside the US, unless it affects them. Even the US government is that way... why are they not in Ukraine right now while this democratic country is under attack by "unspecified" militants? The US was happy to roll into Afghanistan (for revenge) and Iraq (for oil) at a moments notice. No problems helping dispose of their old enemy Gaddafi either. (Libya has oil, right?)

The Europeans can't complain much though as they are even softer on military intervention! They were excited about the Ukraine's merging with the EU, but all it took was a little posturing from Putin to reduce the European states to hand-wringing and empty threats. Why? Because they are whores for Russia's oil and have no backup plan in place were Gazprom to cut them off.

Finally, Asia and South America only care about their own continents. So pretty much everyone only cares about themselves.

I am surprised that no one is calling Putin's bluff however. He's refused to acknowledge that the "pro-Russian" troops are Russian. It seems like a good way to force his hand would be to start rolling heavy military equipment into the rest of the Ukraine to protect it from the "terrorists" in Crimea. Then, when Russia starts saber-rattling, NATO should start testing their ballistic missile and interceptor assets... You know, to protect the Russians from the Crimean terrorists. Bullies only respect other bullies.

Uh, duh!

He is obviously the one who has the plane hidden somewhere!

Too bad they don't also have a concrete plan to match the decrease in coal-generated power with something more environmentally friendly.

From the article:

It's be more useful to spend 50 billion developing and installing cost-effective renewable energy sources that are cheaper than coal. Then coal would go away on its own via capitalistic drivers.
