I don’t think the author was making that connection to excuse the behavior, but to point out how we are all past a point of acceptable cell phone attachment even though it doesn’t manifest in such ridiculous ways.

Fear of radiation is not irrational, and I say this as a nuclear physicist (almost, 1 year away from Phd).

There are two points I would like to address.

Firstly, there is more than one type of radiation, actually around four, depending on how you group them. The effects of each kind are vastly different and range in…

The distinction between San Jose and Cupertino is indistinguishable. They are right next to each other, and the Cupertino Apple campus is already close to the border of the two.

‘A major cause’...I think my statement was sufficiently limited. Although I appreciate the added details you provide.

I don’t think these arguments are presented by anti-GMOer’s to dispute the safety of GMO’s. They are being presented to refute the arguments raised by big agra to justify the use of GMO’s, such as global hunger, environmental impact, etc. For example, when I mention the global amount of wasted food, it is to refute…

It’s an anachronism, I believe. When they were discovered they were believed to be rare although wikipedia claims it is because they are plentiful but highly dispersed, rather than concentrated.

The problem with these tropes of female characterization is not that they exist. There are women out there who’s values align with these tropes (although I’m generally not one of them). Depiction does not necessarily endorse existence. There are all kinds of women, and their values and traits run the gamut from Betty…

Didn’t she allow them to sterilize her?

I think for the purpose of the point you were trying to make you could have combined sata I,II, and III since they are cross compatible. The way you say it is a bit alarmist and confusing. IDE was the standard for quite a while, and even after sata was introduced you could often find mobos with both. Even now I…

Because ‘anti-science’. Except those of us that are scientists know that peer review is flawed right now and in house corporate research is not to be trusted. I really love when people with little or no scientific training shame others for being cautious, careful, or questioning the official narrative, and call them…

I don’t think that insult is appropriate considering only 10% of advanced math students answered this correctly.

I’m not sure how it stacks up against your permissions concerns, but Ghost Commander is my android file manager of choice, and it has tons of plugins, including dropbox and drive.

Dr. Oz is a schmuck, but please don't let this letter convince you that the GMO question is settled, even among scientists. There is still large variation of opinion surrounding that question in the directly applicable fields as well as science as a whole. Climate change this issue is not. There are a few VERY vocal…

My absolute favorite part of the article is his appeal to an unpublished, in-progress, apparently informal study with questionable experimental design as the single piece of evidence offered for either side of this argument, which in his mind represented some sort of smoking gun.

I’m not a parent, in fact I’m still a student (PhD). I totally understand the feeling of helpless frustration some parents feel at the emphasis placed on high stakes testing. I’ve tutored students who don’t do well in these scenarios, just to get them to a level of competence so they can pass. But I do well on high…

The wireless charging cases and those other adapters that can be hidden under the back plate aren’t terrible. At least they give you the courtesy of a reach around.

This makes me strangely happy. Luda is one of my chocolate fantasies, along with Redman, Methodman, and Rick Fox (IDK why on the last one).

Before I write my thoughts on this, which are sure to be labeled blasphemy and heresy, I must assure you I am a woman. I am also working on a PhD in a VERY male dominated STEM field. I believe whole heartedly that sexism exists in my environment and I have experienced it personally. However, I think there is a common…

I appreciate all the work lifehacker has been doing to inform us about digital security, I especially liked the interview with Bruce Schneier. He made me feel good about truecrypt again. But now I'd like someone to talk about security in the real world. How can I keep my precious documents safe? A safe? Firesafe?…
