I have imported Colchicine from overseas pharmacies with regularity and never had an issue with it being seized. The prices I get are significantly cheaper because of the patent issue on that 2000 year old drug. For uncontrolled legacy drug

I've heard this mentioned a lot and I have always wanted to ask: How does tasking high value insurance policies address this issue? Does the government take the additional tax money and use it to subsidize the drug cost? What would pre

What follows is a lengthy explanation of federal contract types, awards, and some light commentary on what you posited. Federal contracts are usually, but not always issued under the rules of the FAR. Within the FAR there are several types

IANAL but I believe that the AGPL would address the case where AGPL code was used in a user facing setting. If the code was used only internally I believe that it is no different from the GPL in this respect.

Stupid question, is this the issue that was at the core of net neutrality? I may have misunderstood the entire thing if so.

I am coming to support the notion that ISPs and Internet Backbone providers should be treated as first class utilities like electrical companies and not be able to deny access except for things like non-payment. Otherwise we do run the risk

So long as there are open source browsers, involuntary censorship via the browser will be difficult. One can always fork and start again. The most real danger comes when utility functions like access to an ISP or internet backbone interconn

Right now the winds are prevailing from that direction, yes. Were the opposition to have a single party government I suspect things would be different. Currently anti-trust legislation looms over them and they are gravitating towards the gr

I believe that companies are largely on their own team, neither right nor left. How long before labor begins to be de-platformed for unionization efforts in the big tech companies? I know that there are already allegations that Amazon is a

Are these platforms prohibited from removing unionization and strike organization activities? My fear is that the labor movement (which is just starting to make significant headway in some of these companies) will be the next targets. If th

I will say, I've been regularly taking Vitamin D for a while and recently started having some low back pain. Talked to the doctor and was told to take some magnesium. Apparently it is used along with Vitamin D. So if you find yourself

You and I probably have different political views and yet we are able to remain civil. Everyone in my neighborhood, every single neighbor, speaks different languages, has different cultural origins and most are of different races. We don&#x

The 1960s and 1970s saw a reckoning in the USA that while not complete, did result in a number of people with substantially incorrect views eventually coming about to a more sensible position. Similar victories have been achieved with respe

We should be careful with sweeping generalizations, especially when in this case, it may rob us of the opportunity to achieve reconciliation via frank discussions with people of opposing views. Most people that voted for Donald Trump are no

Moving the discourse further away from the light won't help cure the divide in this country. We need more discussion, not less. We need to get both sides talking to each other not to themselves about each other.

It's an incredibly toxic cycle. The book is expensive because it is required for completion of an already expensive task (a class). Teachers and departments require the latest evergreen textbook because of incentives from the publisher

So the gp post was discussing a government operation to establish a wiretap capability. Parent provided a hypothetical of the bombing being used to cover up said operation and a discussed what an investigation might find. My point is, that

To be fair, if it was true, no investigation would publically uncover that either. It would come out as some sort of lone wolf, x or y supremacists, anti-vaxx, anti-5g, nutjob. If you allow for conspiracies to exist, it becomes harder to ju

Flat taxes are often criticized for failing to be progressive and that argument has some merit. As an example, 1 dollar in tax means more to someone making 10k than it does to someone making 100k.

I am not a lawyer but I think the most likely result of this suit is for SCOTUS to deny it on the grounds of standing. You could see the court use something similar to Alabama v Arizona or possibly Mass. v Missouri. If they deny on standing
