non profit does not mean low salaries. They pay themselves enough to just run a little red ink so they can cry to the state.

and you cannot sue Uncle Sam. Furthermore, govt data is being withheld from public access because of the shutdown - yet those fat congressmen and senators continue to draw paychecks upwards of 200k.

I dont get it. We are concerned over IP theft. Meanwhile China has the Great Firewall and mass surveillance apparatus. Then you get their vice president saying ' I cannot control my unruly children who vandalize American businesses&#x2

I find it strange that no one has characterized that boundary layer where light orbits the black hole. We know that massive objects distort space and as a result alter the path of light. At sufficiently close distances, space is so distorte

All of us using EMRs don't fill out paperwork anymore. We just copy-paste. Unfortunately admins think you can quantify stuff by making more measurements. But that's so amusing if you just talk to a few patients. It's like try

then i totally misunderstood how squid bypasses ssl. My understanding is that: After building a TCP connection, the SSL handshake is started by the client and sends which version of TLS it knows. The server then picks a compatible cipher a

I did not realize that squid could provide false certificates on the fly. The whole business of invalid certificates made people nervous about some sites. Now someone can sit in starbucks with a squid proxy in the middle and harvest everyth

before there was profit to be made, there was no evil. people shared. everything was free, like the air is today. people could take as much as they wanted. eventually that was boring so they started giving. then they realized that giving fe

IT's the 'misuse'of tech. Sure, we can optimize for efficiency if efficiency is defined by minimizing cost or maximizing safety. But in a world of humans, efficiency should be defined by 'maximizing human utility'.

the problem with EMR is that it fosters copy-paste. you read the same misinformation over and over. If copy-paste is disabled, content will degenerate to fiction. in our data driven medical system, human narrative has lost value, just as th

I dont understand why this is so hard. If you take a document and enter each character into a database as a separate entry, then only lock each character as it's changed and unlock it immediately afterwards. The likelihood that all ind

Linus is to Linux what Jobs is to Apple. And tho Jobs has passed, his spirit is still alive (tho fading). We should have encapsulated Jobs in an AI. (Using data of his behavior, decisions and fMRI we could have made a model). It's stil

I think about the distortion of spacetime caused by gravity and the fact that it distorts the path of EM waves and the reciprocal distortion of gravity caused by EM fields.

Instead of sharks, I would generalize it to the entire food chain. Early in the history of capitalism, corporations grew organically. They were essentially 'herbivores' . But they have since realized that there are many more calor

indeed, lawyers would find some offshore or foreign loophole where this restriction does not exist. Financial money would find financial instruments in other nations - Germany, France etc. Why do Apple and Google keep so much money offshore

Back in those days, tax rates were raised to pay ofr projects. I am opposed to increased tax rates that are not specifically earmarked for a purpose. Yes we went to the moon, but that was driven by cold war politics. Yes we had other good t

Well, the importer who would have spent his money on the fans now spends it on something else. The Finance bucks are now recirculated into the REAL economy.

yes this reminds me of the 70s when marginal tax rates on short term income was as high as 90%. But the problem here is that the money from tax goes to worthless, fat, lazy, stupid, ancient, corrupt, ineffective politicians.And the trickle

Well, if they use financial gains to buy crap, then the seller of that crap benefits. Then the 'crap' market changes-demand decreases. If they want to sell crap - it wont be a small loss. And they cannot 'short' against

that's an option. When you sell such a 'potential service at a fixed future price to actually buy it' you are not ACTUALLY buying the product. In fact, options have been a windfall for this inflationary debacle we are in. You

All this bs happens because we are allowed to used capital derived from financial profit to reinvest in financial transactions - leading to a vicious inflationary cycle of increased valuations without increased value. The solution is to hav

They need warm bodies (residents are cheap labor) to run the hospital (the money machine that gets thousands of dollars per xray, per drug, etc). A steady supply of med students who are already situated in NYC saves them the cost of recruit
