Healthcare is heavily regulated, and I understand why some companies would be reluctant to branch out into it. But that doesn't mean the privacy and legal concerns surrounding HIPAA regulations are unwarranted. Yea, it would be nice if

I think that's one of the important parts of the article; corporate management is either unwilling or completely incapable of differentiating between average and exceptional talent and often doesn't reward the latter properly. Thi

My main problem is how completely vague this ruling is. Yes this article takes the point to an extreme that no one who supports the ruling agrees with. But that's because no one has given any concrete outline of how the rule is suppose

Physics isn't a contraction or abbreviation, it's the entire word. Mathematics is the entire word which all English speakers agree on. The difference is that British-English decided to abbreviate the word to 'maths', whi

It'll really require a culture shift, starting with the parents. I don't know much about school systems in other parts of the country, but going to school in Maryland there wasn't a lack of mathematical support and teaching.

Time to nationalize then. I hate even thinking that, but I'd rather have tax dollars wasted than see our money funnelled to Wall Street. BTW that article showing how much capital they spent doesn't say what they actually spent tha

Alright, now that I've had some time to read through your sources let's get down to it. First of all, I agree that civilization is wholly dependant on petroleum, and that's probably not going to change much even in the next 3
