It could be because pretty much all branches have ground deploy-able forces so it isn't necessarily true that they aren't exposed to the horrors of war on a person to person level.

Right, I get that, but this article mentions vaccinations as part of preventive care.

From what I understand, it isn't usually used as a growth enhancer (I may be wrong) but used because of the way livestock is maintained. When you have cows being kept standing in one place to maintain lean meat, they develop infections more so than being able to walk somewhere other than their own feces. So to keep production up and infections down, the livestock gets pumped full of antibiotics.

Yes, excessive use in not only humans, but in livestock.

If this[1] research leads anywhere, we may not need totally new drugs. Only modify the existing with polymers.

My concern with this line being drawn is the risk of people drawing a line between them and then transferring the overwhelming amount of skepticism of climate change to such a serious topic as this. All we need is to give the anti-vaccine nuts another reason to shit all over herd immunity.

The best thing you can do is keep informed, and keep others around you informed. Many people don't realize this is such a rapidly progressing issue. In fact, many people may not even know that they are improperly taking their Antibiotics and what the side effects are to doing so.

If more informed I feel like the public could do a bit better at turning down Antibiotics when they aren't necessary, and using them properly when they are. Just that action would go a long way.

Edit- I would also like to add that a lot of people don't realize just how easy it is to get an infection, and education could go a long way in keeping it from happening in the first place. It reminds me of that guy on reddit with the horrible case of necrotizing fasciitis that he ended up with after retrieving a football from a koi pond. His day by day imgur chronicle was both interesting and horrifying.

The threat we now are facing with these resistant strains of bacteria are the main reason I got interested in the Public Health field. I am only in my second semester, going part time, but look forward to trying to address the growing need for infectious treatment "reform."

Honestly, I dont feel like the mandated kill switch is going to be an issue for someone who is wanting to be able to wipe their phones in the case of apprehension. The guys out there today already have a means ready, such as rooting and having a wipe program ready.

No thanks, I love to drive. Even as ridiculous as other drivers can be, I love to drive.

Driving brings with it challenges. Strategy, skill, timing, spacial recognition, etc. It also brings with it a pure feeling of freedom. I believe driving is under-appreciated and that leads to the terrible driving habits exhibited daily. Those who dont care, those who arent even driving but day dreaming, doing makeup, reading, using the phone, etc. It is under-appreciation coupled with lack of respect for being in control of a 2000LB+ piece of metal and fuel that can make driving seem like a chore rather than a joy.

How about not going the route of "zen the #$%^ out." I prefer the drivers around me to be aware of their surroundings and conscious of their driving, not lost in dreamworld.

Either I am blind, or they aren't there but there were a few slides where I was trying to figure out the Y axis representation because it wasn't labeled clearly.

I am part of the group of people who would go back to the cable companies if they would budge on their channel packages. I would pay per channel if I could just customize my listing.

I bring this up because you are totally right, but at the same time if the cable companies will evolve to what consumers want, they may not have to take this route.

If not, we can hope they dont charge too much more, they are already making the US look stupid on the world stage of internet access prices.

I remember as a kid it was time to chill out or go play in my room when 6pm came around because it was time for the evening News. Now you can get the News all day, everyday, even as it is happening so you are entirely right about that point of change.

I cut the cable 5 years ago and I have never looked back. I can utilize many sources and avenues for what I want to watch, but I am technically inclined. The advent of Popcorn for the general masses is going to push the cable cutter approach even further.

Really, if someone would just find an easy, reasonably priced way to give sports and local news to everyone on a Roku/ATV/FireTV/etc. I think it would push the demise of cable tv into hyperdrive.

Oh yea, I forgot about that thing. I liked that idea more than the mobile gaming on my tv because it was (if I remember correctly) capable of playing everything pre-PS3.

I dont usually see wired linked here, and probably for good reason. I am linking this because I find it asinine from a gaming point of view, and HN is full of gamers and game devs and I would genuinely like to see a discussion about any disruption possible from these initiatives by Amazon and whomever else pushes into this spectrum.

My take is that consoles will survive purely on the folks who spend the type of money to play console quality games. These boxes dont offer, and might not ever offer, the content and ability of a full fledged console or PC. It has its place, but as a replacement is not it.

I don't think this device and a Steam Machine (just a PC with a badge on it) will be in the same realm of competition. This would most likely compete with the Ouya, where the Steam Machine would compete with the 5th gen consoles.

I am glad someone else sees it this way. Some people are too damn wishy-washy. All the things people were griping about 4 days ago when FB bought OR could still happen.

I still dont want FB owned hardware in my house :shrug:

Yes because

A)There's tons of conversation going on here in this topic and B)Burn anyone at the stake who wants to make a post that is less than serious (I think this is my one and only time doing that on HN).

No, I mean Ring Bearer

He probably has the title of Ring Bearer.

The difference is that Nestle sells me a product, but with Facebook I am the product. (If I had a FB that is)

I quite simply dont want hardware owned by Facebook in my home. I liked the OR, probably would have bought one. But consider the data they scrape from you on their website, compiled with data from the hardware they now have in your home, and you become the new innovative advertising product that Facebook needed to stay alive in the advertising world after _just_the_website_ didn't give their clients what they wanted anymore.

If everyone followed this guy's advice, I feel like we would all be pumping our own shit and serving our own food when we go out for dinner. I guess we would be more well rounded individuals huh?

Thanks, I will have to look into that if it comes down to Voice becoming unattractive.

I find Voice to be incredibly useful when wanting to conduct business with someone once and then have no connection to them again. Such as Craigslist. Every time I list, it is a disposable number.

I know I am way over simplifying this but I always thought integrating something similar to the Roomba's ability to find "home," land, recharge and resume would be a nice solution.

Lets not forget quiet. There is almost nothing worse in web surfing than hitting a website only to be ambushed by sounds. Forbid you click and link and then hit back, only to hear it yet again.

I really shouldn't have to browse muted.

Reddit is one of very few websites I unblock from Adblock because they aren't annoying, intrusive, obnoxious, or otherwise a pain in the ass. If you can do it out of the way, keep it classy, and not tag me like a wild animal to be tracked, Im fine.

And since the major decision makers of the Judicial branch are Executive appointees....
