Even if one is somehow able to justify the Daraprim price hike, he's been responsible for a lot of unethical behavior over the years.

Just because he's pointing out a flawed system doesn't mean he isn't exploiting it and personally profiting off of it as well.

Not saying amphetamine is necessary the best solution, but ADHD is a real and debilitating condition for a lot of people across all ages. It's not just "being bored"; it creates serious difficulty in day-to-day and long-term

But whether someone is a native speaker is a trait that someone can legally and rightfully discriminate over. It's perfectly reasonable to reject someone if you think their English skills aren't sufficiently good. It's not re

Well, for one, you can hide contact info from a resume (which is still stored in a system somewhere, with a unique ID). And you can also make the early stages of your interview email or text-chat based (or just a Google Doc, like some compa

Russia was one of his last choices as a refuge; they were just one of the only countries to accept him. I doubt he's fond of Russia, either, and he's made some passive-aggressive jabs at them on his Twitter. That said, it can&#x27

I could see that happening, but I feel like slip-ups or crossovers ("oh shit, I meant to think that, not think and transmit it") could still happen sometimes. Also, I wonder what it'd be like for someone with a psychotic ment

That is an interesting thought. We do know Obama (like most presidents) is pretty cozy with the Intelligence Community. We know Trump isn't. I think a coup d'etat or shadow government is too much of a stretch, but this may at leas

Dumb question, but what is it about Instagram that made it so huge? Snapchat I actually get, since it's presenting a new kind of communication model. Facebook I get. But Instagram is just like any old image gallery, with a very rudimen

Well, for one, Breitbart is partisan/ideological news, not fake news. You could ask the same question of left-leaning sources (NYT, WaPo, Huffington, many more) that support Democratic candidates before an election. Obviously most news

That seems very wrong just on the face of it. Stockhausen has written numerous papers about his theories of rhythm. And if you listen to his music there is undoubtedly a sense of rhythm, just not any conventional ones. There are also defini

I'm not sure exactly what theories they're referring to here, but if you listen to an avant-garde musician like Stockhausen, you can still hear incredibly beautiful melodies and progressions and rhythms. They're just very dif
