Would it not be more efficient to challenge the evidence behind current scheduling, much less the standards used in scheduling? Trying to work around a system built by corrupt people is a bit like ignoring pests eating your garden and just

Of course it does. If it occurred in the wild and then was transmitted to humans by eating or interaction the way we defend against a future pandemic will be fundamentally different from if there were certain things done or not done in a la

I mostly agree, though I think creating slush funds from personal taxation is straight up wrong. The state should not become rich on the backs of it's citizens. Instead, we could follow Norway in using the profits of industrial sectors

Docker came about when lxc was the container interface on Linux. It's hardly user friendly. Doing everything yourself is possible, but again is really only user friendly for very simple operations. For instance, most users would probab

You buy insurance for this kind of trip, part of that insurance goes to paying rescue costs. Generally $100-200k is enough for private rescue. Otherwise, yes, the Navy and Coast Guard have units solely dedicated to at-sea rescue.
