There is a very significant difference between 93% coverage and 22% coverage with this issue. The value goes well beyond the percentage difference because of network effects[1]. Being able to count on near-ubiquitous FTTP and speeds of 100M

It depends on MacVim on OS X. So for terminal Vim'ers: 1. copy the mvim script from MacVim to /usr/local/bin (or wherever) 2. ln -s /usr/local/bin/mvim vim (assuming you've ditched your old vim symlink) Linking directly to the MacVim binary

Who said the issue was independent entities? That's the solution. The issue is conflicted interests having too much influence. I'd agree the unwillingness of the gov't to use the powers it has is a problem. But that's a separate and equal

If we agree that a conflict-of-interest free system is the goal (and non-negotiable) then an independent entity is essential in a properly-functioning regulatory system. However you appear to have retired undefeated as devil's advocate, as

It's actually the other way around! Imagine we currently had a well-designed, scientific regulatory system. All clinical trial activity was transparent so that regulatory bodies and the public had the complete picture of the efficacy and sa
