So this is google's crazy impression of what kids look like now. He can listen to 'adult' music/movies, but the guts of this tablet are _completely_ hidden. When I, and probably much of this site was that age I was dick

It could work if it was accredited/malpractice was covered somehow, then just make a hospital in Mexico or the Bahamas. Of course it would need to be less expensive than the USA, have better outcomes, and have the same level of legal

So what are the negatives? This NYT article reads like a PR piece for medical tourism... What about malpractice insurance in Belgium/Poland and what happens if there are problems down the road with TFA's hip implant?

Not under powered, not too sure about that. The Ubuntu website says 'Fastest multi-core CPU, 4GB RAM, 128GB storage', ok good...but there is no way that it will even be as fast as a quad-core desktop i7 processor when it is used

TFA said that Facebook paid it his parental leave. If FB thinks it is worth it to retain him as an employee, it's their money. The US government on the other hand seriously doesn't give a fuck about families since most of their p

Sortof. You still have to worry about taxes/bills, which are not insignificant in places like SF... You also have to ask permission from the local hoa/local government if you want to paint your house a certain colour. You also

Assuming: 150k/yr salary * 0.5 (paid leave) * .33 (4 months) =$24750 for just raising a kid, damn. To be the devil's advocate, why not let people who do not have children take a 4 month paid ($24750) vacation every 5 years? I wou

If by large companies you mean Amazon/Microsoft/Google, look at about 100k/year (inc. stock) if you make it thru the interviews, but there are like 5 of them. It is mostly C++, but Amazon's back end is alot of perl, and

Why a Nvidia GPU? That would require using Nvidias binary blob, or the unstable open-source driver. You could go full-RMS http://stallman.org/stallman-computing.html

We in the USA are much more likely to die from chronic illness due to overeating/soda that a terrorist attack. If you want to kill Americans, just buy stock in Coke and McDonalds.

You can fight and win. The government is not omnipotent. Just don't expect to run a company under the protection of the government. 1. Use Linux or a similar OS and use full-disk encryption. Truecrypt has a hidden os function built
