A flu with 20x reported mortality rate caused by a virus with a significantly higher infectivity than influenza virus is something you should be worried about. Note: data is from current cases, may vary as more data is accumulated.

The premise of your brain evolution argument is flawed because you’re assuming nature absolutely wins over nurture in psychological development, which is what I assume you mean by “brain” here. I doubt there’s a particular physical brain co

I second the recommendation to get an Asus Zenbook, with the same cons. The case is solid and durable; specs range from reasonable to outstanding (especially at its price point). I would also look at the IBM Thinkpad, as I've had frien

Can you provide something to support your claim? Why would a private corporation not be subject to Constitutional law?

You must not be very good at your job if you can't explain it to people you've known your entire life analogically/in layman's terms. Furthermore, you definitely should not need a cookie-cutter metaphor from some article

I'm not sure why people continue to ask this question when the threat of massive global food web and ecosystem disruption caused by human-driven environmental damage is arguably far more imminent than job displacement. I say arguably b

What's to stop someone from sending sensitive data as an attachment via email using an encrypted email service? I don't think a proxy can detect much besides data size correct? I suppose a virtual desktop could log which files are

I believe your branding hypothesis is correct, and all of this hype around neural nets and machine learning is creating a startup ecosystem ripe for market correction. I've heard a million times that most machine learning problems are

It seems like these VC cycles are akin to a natural selection process for startups. Those with legitimate market fit and pricing schemes will have the highest fitness and thus survive; new startups will (hopefully although historically not
