I wouldn't even say it is human error, but human negligence. Human error is not by choice. Often the contamination happens because of cost cutting and time quickening measures. I doubt the process of fracking is causing the contamination, but dumping and containment issues at the site. You would see methane in the ground water if it was the actual frackings fault or an error in that process.

There many instances of the doctor writing the individual off as almost dead when they live for years afterwards. Doctors currently can't predict how long you are going to live accurately enough to legitimize allowing them to give experimental treatment to people they think have a month to live.

Wrong, California has no jurisdiction over the Chinese company period for sanctions unless the Chinese government enforces it, irregardless of how the transaction is occurring. The US government should be intercepting the dolls at customs if they shouldn't be sold in the state. Arguably, the onus should be on the purchaser for knowing what they are importing is violating the law.

I know it is not your fault or the fault of /. in general. It should read tallest human structure. And it is probably that way only because it is underwater. The article says second largest considering the scale of construction for a singular project. Nothing about actual size.

You don't really need AI. The drone could easily have circuit compass and just needs to keep a log of its flight path it could easily autopilot itself back to where it came from. If they were smart at lockheed you would really need to do more then jam the signal, unless that is how they get the US to buy more drones.

The common cold is usually caused by the rhinovirus. There are about 99 different surface proteins it can have. It isn't immunity that I am discussing. The body would naturally attack the virus either way. The difference is that individual viruses that make the patient less sick enable easier transmission so they will be present in a larger quantity in society to the ones that make the person stay at home.

I personally only right stuff that I am guaranteed to benefit from. Once I benefit from it, it is hard to argue that I wouldn't have done it in the first place if copyright did not exist. The only authors that have trouble are the ones that have been sold a song about how they can write a book and people will automatically buy it on its merits. Piracy has become the running cliche like lawyers. No one in jail is guilty it is just that their lawyer screwed them.

They used to give rain checks for sale items to convince people not to worry about stock. I don't know if they do that anymore especially for things like black Friday. They do screw customers over like this cause it is accepted by customers and people usually buy other stuff they need while they are there even if they don't get the sale. Especially the cheap highly marked up stuff. The simplest way for it to end is if it stopped working on the consumers.

I read a book a while back. Can't remember the name. Survival of the sickest or something like that. The author had an interesting argument that as we decrease the ease at which diseases are transmitted the more evolutionary pressure there is for them to not kill the host or make the host extremely ill. The common cold was his example as it doesn't make you sick enough that you feel like you shouldn't go into work so it gets transmitted.
