But has everything to do with the need to take a closer look at the entire system and how we can do things better. I feel like focusing on this part of my comment vs. the bum deal part is disingenuous since non-US countries have figured out

The federal system already runs a much more efficient enterprise as evidenced in medicare and medicade since their establishment in the 60s.

Medicare administrative costs are around 2% of total program spending [1] compared to typically >10%. While what you're saying on the surface may be true from the numbers you are comparing, the fact of the matter is that healthcare

So I have to have been involved in protesting a non-Israel conflict to have an opinion on this one?

You don't need more than 3-5g per day (about 15mg per pound of body-weight) to see the maximal effects. There is a loading period where you take 2-4 weeks to saturate, many take an increased dose to get there faster but if you're

He's presenting this to his company. I don't think this video was originally intended for mass consumption, but I am glad it was made available. So this is the CEO presenting to a group of people who know him and his presentation

I made this account 1979 days ago, have 230 karma and have probably averaged over 7 visits a week. Some people just spend way more time reading than commenting.

Thank you for confirming your motives by ignoring the substance of my comments.

I ignored mac pros? I specifically called them out as not a valid comparison given the price point. First it's hyperbole, which you incorrectly applied now it's confirmation bias by 'ignoring' something which was not per

Silly statement that's factually correct and entirely relevant to a discussion about the lack of reason to upgrade hardware to something Apple currently makes? When your comparison is to bring up a 16 year hardware difference or to inc

I actually have 2 USB 3.0 ports. USB 3.0 was first available on ASUS motherboards in late 2009 [1]. Thunderbolt wasn't available at that point but it was unveiled with the Thunderbolt Display, which was July 20th 2011, so coming up fas

I'm using a ~5 year old PC I built myself and it still outperforms the hardware in any available mac product (desktop, tablet or laptop) that isn't a Mac Pro (starting price $2999,00). I don't have a compelling reason to upgr

More than that but there's no regulatory push (outside of maybe healthcare?) to require stringent handling of peoples data. If anything the opposite is true where the government wants people to build a specific backdoor for them. This

Personally, I don't and I'm a native English speaker. I doubt many who weren't would have any chance of deciphering the meaning here either.

Would not the location tracking telling them the girls phone was inside the house be probable cause? Seems more reliable than a dog alerting on a car.

If you trust people to do the right thing, you're going to get burnt. We need to evolve the internet past these types of attacks and build systems to protect everyone from this kind of terrorism, rather than just get angry at people wh

I don't think that's a fair representation of why they don't want to update kernels and also completely downplays that there were three other points mentioned which all added non trivial overhead to getting stuff done now. In

Sadly this is where the UK government seems to be going [1]. They want all encryption to have a backdoor or be outlawed. [1] http://www.businessinsider.com/david-cameron-encryption-back...

This is nothing new, and my comment was made with all of this in mind. Here's a thought experiment however, ask someone why they watch the news, buy a news paper or visit sites like the new york times. Then re-read your comment and s

No, the media has evolved to become advertising. News corporations definitely should have the responsibility of education, despite what the Murdoch empire would have you believe.

Sorry, but that is not a valid reason for spending $7 billion. Agencies are accountable for not wasting money and oversight should be in place to prevent this sort of abuse. Also, we aren't in a democracy or free market economy. The pe

But if only 12-13% of people think they're doing a bad job then they are just not informed on the topic and what they think is really of no consequence. The media is to blame for not educating the general population on this. People get

Which says more about the media than the merits of the TSA. The majority don't know who edward snowden is either (or as john oliver found out -- think he's the wikileaks guy). Fact of the matter is that the TSA is doing a bad jo

No, they do not. The officer should have made that clear to the 17 year old, part of the problem seems to be that the kid thinks he's protected by the fact that his mother isn't present. This leads to resistance which could be see

'Blood carries' is obviously true. I have the same color skin as my parents. The concept is not archaic, intellectually offensive or dangerous. It's also in no way connected to racism.

Eloquently put, but not really true as there are definitely traits and behaviors which are inherited via DNA. http://sciencelife.uchospitals.edu/2010/06/14/primed-to-expl... One of any number of examples.
