Those people have been utterly failed at all levels by their government and society. That needing a car to drive twenty miles is a requirement in certain countries should be enough to hang everyone involved in making things that way.

I see, thanks! Good to know the effort in running Folding@Home hasn't been made redundant by AI just yet, although I certainly look forward to developments in the field!

Now that google DeepMind and other AI tools can predict protein structures, what's the real utility of programs like Folding@Home and FoldIt?

Probably because higher doses would be more costly and inefficient if lower doses were equally effective.

Yes, I wasn't referring to all red meat. That being said, there's not much I could find out about "obligate omnivores", so I'm not sure what you mean by that.

> If you walk in and kill half the deer, for instance, then the predator animals have less food.
deer are far larger, just how many calories do you think this species of mosquito has?

that's like saying humans would go extinct if people stopped eating beef.
like...you DO realize that they eat OTHER things as well right?

Reply to comment by Aanar in Georgia doctor implants one of the first wireless, dual chamber pacemakers: New type of pacemaker is safer option than traditional surgery by universityofga
From the OP,
> The wireless pacemaker is about 90% smaller than the average pacemaker and the surgery lasts around 30 minutes. The battery life is also comparable with a traditional pacemaker’s 10-12 years and could be longer in some cases. Patients also will not have an incision scar on the chest or a bump protruding from the skin.
So if it's 90% smaller then there should be enough room to put in a new one every 10-12 years, unless people start living older than 100 with this device.

When people are drowning because of sea levels rising, are you still going to claim it's "doomer crap" because you don't see any difference in your life?
