Tech can be used for good or bad. Military tech is no exception. It is used for good when people are being protected and assisted. Maybe drones could be used to try to find citizens that are lost and hurt in a park and then shoot a flare an

Thanks to the OP for posting this. I want to read it to my kids, so they understand how lucky and spoiled we are. I think the persecution of the Jews in any culture is wrong. And so is the persecution of any religion. I think the freedom of

I will start doing TDD all the time when: 1. It is faster than developing without it. 2. It doesn't result in a ton of brittle tests that can't survive an upgrade or massive change in the API that is already enough trouble to manage on the

It isn't just the everglades. Most of the area covered is rural, swampland, farmland, etc. and would not be under suspicion, ever. It is a ridiculous map. It would be one thing if waterways and major cities were highlighted, but it is just

Thanks! So basically what you are saying is that if the virus isn't replicating, then no cells are carrying the virus and the patient is cured? Are you absolutely sure that conclusion is definite? For example, some cells could have HIV and

The point that the OP is making is not to avoid new technologies, but to avoid technology that isn't ready for prime time (and higher ed efforts are a great examples of this). That is "ok" advice in many cases, but don't avoid things becaus

"With no signs of the virus for 10 months..." Does this mean that the virus could still be incubating in cells and some sort of stressor could cause the virus to come out, similar to those that have had Chicken Pox getting Shingles later in
