   I work in it too. And the US govt is not approving or even looking to approve new EHRs. The bureaucratic hurdles (and regulatory capture) are such that it is no longer feasible in this country. I would write one in a heartbeat if it wasn&#x

   Don't forget money laundering, human trafficking and drug sales! And destroying the environment through sheer waste is just the crypto cherry on top!

   You're right. You have to build them in secret like Cobra Command!

   There are thousands of examples if you work for a paternalistic megacorp. Case in point, our office now lets people "hotel" at desks, but we have to reserve them for time slots. We could, like the library, just sit and use unoccup

   Honestly, the internet has seemed somewhat barren to me since the death of Flash.

   So awkward. I'm just over 6'2" -- and at a recent family reunion had to deal with everyone saying I must be at _least_ 6'4". Because I was much taller than the other 6' guys there... and if I dispute it too voc

   The problem is that it virtually never goes away, keeps building up in the environment, and results in ever greater levels of toxicity over time.

    When humans killed off most of the megafauna, it caused cascading extincations. Dire wolves went extinct with nothing to eat. The Osage orange tree nearly went extinct (down to one very small area); it's believed that were spread by Gi

    I suspect you might be suffering from "the hubris". We're quite well into the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_extinction -- and it's only accelerating.

    I think obedience will end up being a huge negative in future wars if rapid tactical iteration driven by autonomous planes, robots and drones becomes common. The age of obsequious human meat shields is approaching its literal terminus.

    Check out Dan Simmons' Hyperion Cantos -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperion_Cantos . Iain M. Banks is also a lot of fun.

    I agree that we should be rolling out as many modern, small scale fission reactors as possible, right now, in order to deal with CO2 output. But, at the same time, I think we should pursue fusion with the same gusto that we currently direct

    Road wear is disproportionately caused by heavy vehicles; one study estimated that "one 18-wheeler is equivalent to the impact of 9,600 cars". The gas tax is primarily a subsidy designed to support the trucking industry.

    In future warfare, I'm pretty sure these will be fully autonomous to avoid jamming and latency issues.

    Well, nukes (which didn't exist then) sure put the brakes on Japan's military.

    So, anecdotally, the most amoral programmers that I've ever worked with have ended up at Facebook. I'm sure there are decent people there, but I couldn't personally work there in good conscience.

    For me the high correlation seems to be with Facebook.

    I once criticized one of Reddit's advertisers (AMC) in a sponsored comment post (they no longer allow comments on these). Reddit shadowbanned my account sitewide. That's enough reason for me to never, ever view Reddit without an a

    I recently avoided a startup prospect because they were looking to build a car OS that wasn't hard real-time. The very idea that they're trying to develop such things that might intermittently pause to do some garbage collection i

    Considering how many wrongfully convicted people you'll find here in America, I'd say it is exceedingly common.

    It's actually easier to hide dead people than living people because you don't have to feed them.

    The primary difference lies in execution. Most countries would err on the side of permitting the site to continue to operate, as with an injunction in the U.S. Here, it was effectively treated "guilty until proven innocent".
