Government run care is different in one massive way: It's not a profit seeking entity. Private insurance, even those run as non-profit, still turn a profit. Does the head of the DHS make 15 Million dollars in year? No? That's the

I'm all about Hanlon's razor but naming the ticking time-bomb of a voting software startup "Shadow Inc." seems a bit too on the nose to be pure stupidity. Everything about this reeks of a publicity stunt to "ruin&qu

If there is a show stopping bug I can throw VMWare under the bus. If Xen has a show stopping bug I get to patch it myself. Oh you mean technical reasons? None.

You're premise is likely incorrect. As a non-American there is a very good chance there is an opiate available over the counter with no prescription in the form of codine. https://www.oecd.org/health/health-syste

Except they can't. You have to get FDA approval and jump through regulatory capture hoops. Even for drugs already approved on on the market. See Martin Skrelli's case of a generic medication easily made in science class. Sure it w

I would argue that a good chunk programming tools don't reduce complexity at all. Just shifts it to well understood "accidental" complexity. Your program needs a way to store and retrieve key:value pairs. It's an inheren

In going from zero to programmer those aren't bad things, they are a simplified learning model. Would you advocate pilots stop learning to fly in single engine prop planes and instead jump right into the cockpit of an Airbus because th

I'd rather have unanswerable questions then unquestionable answers; Climate science has become far too unquestionable. There is always room for debate, especially in the face of consensus. Without it astronomers burn and science dies

Generalized systems search massive databases, these systems can have much narrower data sets. "Who is X?" and "Is this X?" are very different computationally. Also; "fail early, kill innocents" is a great parad

Of course they don't record and listen, that would be slow and take huge stores of data. They save transcripts and read/parse it instead. Much faster and less data to store.

X509 as a whole is fine and this isn't so much arbitrary MITM of any web server. It's specific to ECC public keys(not specifically X509 certs) that validate from cryptoAPI which is a fairly limited but devastating scope. EG Code s

They discovered a new area of the brain that controls attention to specific visual areas that wasn't previously found because they weren't paying attention to specific areas. It's like recursive irony.

How do you think a thermometer works? You expect it will measure less heat because your vascular system is dilated and shedding more heat? Core body temp != single point-in-time measurement.
