I think it's mostly for saving you from bankruptcy. A cardiac event would destroy most American's savings and potentially cost them their house, without insurace to cover the majority/argue with the hospital

I just brush and floss once a day before heading off to bed and have none of these problems...

Now this topic has a huge grain of salt, but imagine something that one cheap treatment of basically wipes out an entire industry do you think that industry and associated ones wouldn't fight tooth and nail to buy it an bury it? I know

I've found them to be pretty correct. I brush and floss before I got to bed and I haven't had a cavity in over 15 years. In the past few years I've switched to using hydroxyapatite toothpaste, but that's the only big cha

c++ can be relatively simple if you don't throw in all the bells and whistles and stay away from template metaprogramming. I use it all the time. Sure compiles can be slow, but with proper file partitioning and creating libraries 95% o

Sure but mostly the only game in town for foundries (along with Samsung), so you can't just financially destroy them with a likely war between China and the US over Taiwan coming up in the next 5-10 years

it's not really all that surprising when you think it through. this has the same affect, without tying up their limited number of lawyer for years. sometimes you just have to compromise.

Not any longer, pediatric scientists/doctors are the last hold outs (most likely because they will have to eat some crow over it), others have considered it as debunked as junk science, making it highly questionable.

I think that may have been true in the past but recent cases in front of the SCOTUS is setting precedent that stare decisis (and other forms of precedence) doesn't matter much any longer in the US court system.

Propublica also had a pretty great article earlier this year on the topic as well. https://www.propublica.org/article/understanding-junk-scienc...

It's been like 10 years since experts declared this stuff junk science and they still haven't vacated/retried all those cases? Just goes to show you how lazy DA's can be.

I've always wondered, say we have 10-15% of women in open source advocation/programming, why would you expect to see a higher number than that at FSF? At any organization? If you advocate for getting more women into STEM wouldn&#x

You have to break some eggs to make omelettes. How many families have been broken up and sent into poverty because a white collar criminal was thrown in jail and their assets seized? Obviously I wish side effects didn't happen, but unl

I agree, seize the company and take ownership of all its assets, including IP, at a minimum. Fines and punishments with no teeth are not any good for the public interest.

I don't have much of a choice, it's what users want and it gives me the biggest footprint. It's about being pragmatic rather than being religious for me.

modern browsers don't really keep hundreds of tabs open, they just keep a place holder and then return the memory back to the system as resources get low. I'm not sure why people think a browser can keep 100s of webpages open when

Right, you can read both but it also requires more brain power to separate out when not in separate functions. It's also easier to unit test as the code grows larger.

it also has lossless capability as well, that's a big one to me, it can replace png and jpeg for 99% of use cases.
