Think of it this way: If science has taught us anything it's that the (Seemingly Impossible) often times is in fact (Possible). For example: If we can... (a.) harness gravity much the way we use Electromagnetism. or (b.) find ways to change or influence Space-time. That would change everything. In fact a "Stable Wormhole" or some other type of "Portal" might be not only possible, but relatively simple.

Rule #1 "no profanity" everyone should know what profanity is. Rule #2 "no offensive or hateful Language". If you are uncertain what this is the article supples a good example... "African American English (which is commonly spoken by black people in the US)" This is a good example of offensive or hateful Language. To imply, people of African decent in the United State, Only speak "Ghetto Slang" and then call that "African American English" Is not only biased, its a form of hate speech. this then inspired in the comments an overabundant use of the N-word, which in turn the moderator apparently reward by (Score:5, Insightful). P.S. All throughout my reading of this article & its comments "quotes" from "The Church Lady" kepted poping in my head.

"Study Claims" so its someones opinion, not Science. Dear Professor, Screen time" or too much screen time, is not a notion. When kids and teens sit in front of a screen at school, then add "video games", top that off with "cell phones" and "social media". You can see problems right away. As most people know, too much of most things, are not only bad, but usually lead to death. joke: Professor Andrew Przybylski is so wrong.... Reply: How wrong is he? Punch line: We are now changing "completely wrong" to "Professor Andrew Przybylski wrong".

Universal, Basic (____)--> Food, Shelter, workload, sleep, tools, weapons, medical. we use it all the time..."the military",even some "schools", works great! It is the "Income" part that seems to be in dispute. Sorry, if I am pointing out what seems obvious. So the redistribution of wealth? We all should know whats fair right? I'm just thinking back to my childhood seems simple enough. All we have to do is put in place a fair and equitable redistribution of wealth. I vote for the merit system based on the positive impact on mankind as a whole.

hackertourist Thank you for the information, clarification, and context. much appreciated.

So UK's National Nuclear Laboratory and University of Leicester has refined the process of extracting americium from spent plutonium. This new process is "potentially" a step towards using americium for radioisotope thermoelectric generators, "which may mean" future space missions can be powered for up to 400 years. Ok, so they are giving it a go, so far so good, cross your fingers. My question has two parts: (1.) This new process has potential based on what? and (2.) Is this fake news?

OK, big data in layman's terms: Think Back to the history of slavery in American... Can you see it?... Now guess what part you play? You are not a "person" you are a "commodity" example: Something useful that can be turned to commercial or other advantage. An article of trade or commerce that can be processed and resold.

The real problem as alluded to in the article is the lack of information. Do people trust the producers and the distributors of vaccines? Nope. And why should they? You just need to answer the questions. Who, what, when, why, where, and how? Perhaps link to a web page printed on the vaccine bottle "for more information "www.this.vaccine.more.information.gov" So simple, give the public access to information you already have... or should have. Maybe "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention" at cdc.gov could they perhaps try to address the problem?

You asked why??? well... X,Y,Z coordinates represent a point in space. With two Coordinates you can make a line. With three coordinates you can make a triangle. A triangle is the minimum amount of coordinates to create a surface. that is why!!!....seems efficient. perhaps if the point in space was a spherical object? or maybe the line was a circle?

So this privileged male of European decent (Justin Kosslyn) thinks he or people just like him, should be allowed to take control over tax-payer built internet (Throttle speed) and discriminate based on income, ethnicity, gender, or what ever. So he can feel safer, like In the old days. Maybe like when we had "Jim Crow Laws" those good old days? I mean when you consider context clues like the history of our country. I can't be sure but this sound familiar. as for internet throttling my view is (If it ain't broke, don't fix it)

As a small child I learned being able to eat when your hungry is good . Being hungry and not having food is bad. As I got older I learned going without food when your body needs it is unhealthy as are a lot of things. preliminary findings although perhaps interesting are not definitive. In fact as the article stats its more likely linked to poor lifestyle. Another misleading title and a scathing indictment of our current level journalism. among other things.

First off, the title in a misquote. Operating on "short sleep" or not enough sleep is what the article was about. second, no new information here other than the author gave an interview. and apparently the title insights an emotional reaction in some people, even if its just comedic. begs the question is old news better than no news? P.S. I'm pro comedy :)

Try TV Shows or Documentary in a genre you're interested in but from a different culture or language. There are subtitles now. Also it kinda opens the whole world to you.

As a kid, I made most of my own toys from cardboard, Popsicle sticks, toothpick, and twist ties with scissors, tape, glue and paint. And I could make just about any toy I had seen on TV commercials. Radio Shack and The Comic Book Store were my go to places. The best geeky gifts I remember as a kid from younger age to older age are: 1. Lego's and playmobil toys 2. electric train set 3. A clear plastic model of internal combustion engine and transmission with working stick shift (had to turn the fly wheel by hand) and 4. A Book of science fiction short stories. That said, I left out things like Walkie Talkies and Camera, do to the cell phones of today, not to mention PCs and Video Game Consoles. It really depends on the child's age and their interests. So my advice would be to just ask the child what things they like geeky or not. Keep in mind science, technology, engineering, and math. apply to just about every thing.

thanks, I just read there using voice coils or some such thing. :) It would be interesting to know what setbacks they are encountering. Now if the can just switch to hydrogen instead of fossil fuels. :D
