Just FYI, the credit/debit card company is often stylized as "VISA", and the travel document is a "visa".

Keep in mind that the requirements for an IV drug are much higher than those of nootropic enthusiasts. All compontents have to be within a narrow concentration range (consistently, across batches) and very low levels of byproducts are allowed.

I'm not saying it's as expensive as Valeant claims, but it might be more expensive than you think.

What's the rationale for disclosing vulnerabilities to for example Google before going public (unless the bug is in Google's software)?

After reading it twice I'm still not sure what the horizontal axis represents. Is it time in days?

I know this is probably meant to be read by people who know more about the subject than me, but adding some axis labels wouldn't hurt.

Those polls don't necessarily mean that people aren't choosing the lesser of two evils. Those questions aren't asked in a vacuum. Most of the polls ask about people's opinion of the candidates in a Clinton vs Trump context. Even if that wasn't the case, people might still feel that they have to support one candidate over the other.

It's hard to make people throw away their biases and ask themselves why they really support something.

> It won't resolve everything but it's a lot nicer than naming&shaming businesses who have effectively done nothing wrong.

They are putting their users at risk through negligence. Many would argue that's wrong.

According to the article, the stores were running malicious javascript which grabs people's credit card info. This obviously means they are vulnerable in some kind of way, but I fail to see how this is reasonably likely to be exploited. Even if it was, you also have to consider the benefit of warning the users.

I am not a security expert though, and I might be missing out on something.

The human genome and body are extremely complex. Concluding that something is caused by environmental factors just because a few genetic markers can't be found, would be a massive over-simplification.

Isn't this correct though? That the probability of picking only four asians (if you chose at random) is just over one in a hundred million

There might be a good reason why they use glass ceramics instead of for example stone. Maybe because it's harder to manufacture consistently (ferromagnetic impurities?), has a larger coefficient of expansion or because it's harder to implement touch controls for them. It might just be more expensive.

Bamboo is made of cellulose, which is not what you would want to use for making plastics.

The problem with cellulose is that, because it is fibrous, there aren't really any efficient ways of breaking it down.

> First, they showed that the police here, got from some US organizations, access to some kind of realtime NSA style spying tools, they showed on tv that their software show realtime torrent data transfer worldwide, with pips popping up on a map in the entire planet!

Were they monitoring a single torrent file? Multiple? An entire tracker? Most BT traffic in the world?

Trackers will happily disclose the list of peers who are downloading, so it's not hard to monitor a list of torrents. That's how BT works. A lot of anti-piracy companies do it. Unless they were monitoring a massive amount of torrent traffic, I don't see why an intelligence agency has to be involved.

> Posts that call for illegal actions (such as stabbing civilians) should be removed

What about a post that calls for women to vote? Or for black people to sit in the front of the bus?

That sounds like a recipe for abuse. It would be more reasonable to only ban enticing violence, for example.

You could argue that Google is directly saving money by not paying people to train its ML algorithms (which I'm assuming they have a plan to monetize).

Diesel engines produces less CO2 by being slightly more efficient.

Pretrol engines produce less nitrogen oxides and particulate matter.

What's "greener" is just a matter of your definition of it.
