Yet Alex vehemently resisted being taken to the hospital. Police crowd the emergency room, running the names of young black men through their database Seems to me that the hospitals that let this happen in their ERs have forgotten their

Give me some good powered USB ports for an HDMI stick and get the heck out of my way. That is a profoundly good idea. Let the TV manufacturer bundle all their "smart apps" stuff on USB-powered HDMI stick like a chromecast. The

Will Apple even permit this in their appstore? Sounds like the kind of thing they would not be happy about.

Why haven't we seen others come out in similar ways? According to an attorney for the Government Accountability Project, they've been going there. I like her line that "Courage is contagious." http://abcnew

And you know what? It'll keep going. If they're willing to invest billions in ghost cities they're willing to drive bitcoin above $10,000. I think that is an unfounded conclusion. The ghost city phenomenon is a lot more th

the board has a duty to their shareholders to maximize holdings, not to be nice. I think that is a fundamentally biased description of the situation. It isn't necessarily about "nice" vs "profits" - its about cor

May I suggest you review Vietnam history? Given the steady decline in the number of congressional kids in the military since the draft was suspended it seems pretty clear that the situation has only gotten worse since vietnam. Don't

I'm in no way an apologist for walmart but this story seems "too good to be true." It makes me wonder if there is more context, like the food drive is for a specific family or small group of families with employees at walmar

South Korea? The conscription program there definitely has problems both with the treatment of the average Joe (Kim?) and the ways for the privileged to avoid risk. There will never be a perfect system (c.f. Bush essentially going AWOL wh

We will always have an army, would you rather it be through conscription or volunteer? As an 18 year old man I would have said "volunteer" no question. As someone who had a nephew volunteer, my mind is now completely changed an

Perhaps it's pride in work/abilities gone too far. Perhaps we overvalue ourselves... My experience has been that it is simply a lack of perspective due to ignorance. It is very tempting to be dismissive of what other people do

IMDB (which is a 10-star system) has a 'secret algorithm' that fiddles with the raw data to come up with a computed score. It's been suggested that some of the factors involved include reduced weight for 1 and 10 star rating
