Whoa. Using Seattle as a positive story in the war on drugs seems...highly questionable. The city has been essentially destroyed by junkie infestation, enabled by (possibly well-meaning) people.

I think the pre cut/wrapped apple slices and oranges and such are arguably for disabled people (or children, or convenience, and priced at a 5-10x premium) but the individually wrapped whole fruit, which are sold in much higher volumes

If you build a system that is technically possible for someone to censor, particularly if you make it easy to do (and in fact where not doing so would cost them potentially billions of dollars in market cap in an upcoming IPO, recruiting, s

Is there a high abuse potential for suboxone? Would it be dangerous to just completely de-schedule it (either OTC, or at least make it 18+ at a pharmacy on request)?

It isn't just numbers. It has to be people who voters/others in power empathize with. The "crack epidemic" of the 80s never would have achieved that. Opiate addiction sort of approaches it (definitely does in some stat

If you do this audio-only there isn’t a telltale LED on the camera to give away that you are doing it. I’m way more worried about audio bugging than a webcam (which really only has the user’s face)

Also the "we can get you organs in a day, give us the specific requirements..." is a pretty serious red flag even if there's a high normal donation rate.

They're holding people in camps for extended periods. It appears (at least from what I've read) that they're really only murdering them for the organs, not because they were going to kill them. Keeping people imprisoned fo

Insider threat is absolutely a risk. The other risk if you don't fully and publicly mitigate insider threat is someone applying pressure to your employees to do something bad. (The intel community and other high risk environments have

Their main purpose is resistance to insider threats in an environment with lots of other controls. Otherwise, it's really really hard to trust that a sysadmin hasn't copied a key (voluntarily or while compelled).

Main thing I miss is the lesser degree of abstraction in doing anything. If you wanted to build a simple app which just took one input and did a calculation and returned a result, there were multiple languages, but you didn't need a h

It would be "maintain forward bases during a dynamic conflict with or without the support of the local government", not "try to turn Afghanistan into an 18th century state for the first time, or fix Iraq".

You are 4-6 years out of date. 1989/1991 to 9/11/01 was genuine aimlessness and downsizing, missing the boat on a bunch of important developments, etc. 9/11 to Iraq War was massive IC expansion and trying to assign &quot
