I actually know a good friend that had Hep C that did exactly that. He flew to Egypt and walked into a pharmacy and bought it. I forget how much he paid, but it was closer to $1,000 instead of $84,000.

We as a society have decided to keep public records. I don't see anyone advocating that we clean everyone's record after they repay their debt to society. We still have background checking services and they don't have to en

Can someone please explain to me why this cell security problem seems to be completely ignored? If encryption algorithms are broken, they're phased out and untrusted. But if 2g is insecure, there's not a single peep from network

I just ended up having permanent hearing loss that I was unaware of until a hearing test. Here is one thing that I learned that surprised me. I thought that hearing loss was experienced like someone turned down a volume knob. That's n

I won't tell you that you're wrong. I can't prove what I'm about to suggest. But I want to suggest it as a possibility as to why you shouldn't say what you just said so confidently. Imagine if certain foods caused

It may not be your cup of tea, but I don't think your concern about large code bases will be a problem. Ensuring invariants across large code bases is what rust excels at. You'll more likely have the opposite problem: getting fr

I admit, I use this banana trick. It's the only way that I shoplift. I place down organic bananas, but using the touchscreen I navigate through "Select by Picture" -> "Fruits" -> "Bananas".

You should know that rust always intended to have owned/shared references, Rc<T> reference counting, and Gc<T> garbage collected pointers. It turns out that LLVM made precise garbage collection a hard thing to add on to th

I used to think that all languages should be garbage collected. I thought this because I thought it was the only way to make programs safe and I learned it was actually faster than manual memory mangement. I changed my mind when I learned

I just want to point out that this view isn't necessarily wrong, but it's one-sided and reads like talking points from an ISP lobbyist. You can view Google and Netflix as "capitalizing on ISPs". You could also view it a
