It sounds like that might be a reaction to the lack of obvious repercussions of giving up privacy and security. What tangible harm does the average person come to by giving up privacy, security, and data ownership?

I'd be more inclined to buy your argument if you supported it with evidence. Also we're talking about the impact of physician salaries on healthcare spending. Engineer salaries aren't relevant in this discussion.

Take home pay for physicians represents about 10% of healthcare spending ( http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/11/14/do-doctors-sala... ). On top of the cost of 4 years of college, you've got 4 years of

I thought about a Hackintosh as well, but I ultimately decided on just getting two monitors and keyboard/mouse and hooking up the MBP to the setup. Way better than the headache of dealing with a Hackintosh in my opinion. You also have

What about college students who might be using a credit card with a billing address for their parents' home but live in dorms with different shipping addresses every year?

The same tools (AFNI, SPM, and FSL) are used in a lot of other MR research protocols as well - not just fMRI.

That doesn't refute my point. No data collection still leaves a greater probability of issues being left unresolved for a longer period of time. Also, the code is open source. You can see exactly what data is being collected. To addres

If it were opt-in, they'd collect significantly less data, and the data they do collect would likely by heavily skewed. Microsoft could be misled by the poor quality of data collected, and an opt-in system could actually be worse than

My argument is that without GUIs, computers would have either never become common or would gain adoption at a substantially slower pace than they have with the general public. With no/slowed adoption of computers, it's not possibl

Without a GUI, mainstream computing probably wouldn't even exist let alone mainstream programming.

Talking about normal/fun activities like you described are safe conversation topics that you can use with nearly anyone. If you don't know much about someone, then these topics are easy ways to get a conversation going and learn m

You don't have to talk about things that other people think are fun. The point is to bring up something that can get you excited and animated. If what you call "work" does that for you, then I'd love to hear about it.

No one is suggesting using the force of law to prevent people from committing suicide. This is just a helpful tool. It's not forcing anyone to do (or not do) anything.

I personally switched from an iPhone 4S to an HTC One M7 for the bigger screen size, but I switched back after less than 6 months because I couldn't get over the lack of consistency in the Android experience. There were duplicate apps

Your anecdotal experiences definitely don't match my anecdotal experiences. I think we need to be careful with these kinds of stories.

I can't find any evidence to support your story. Do you have a source?

There is no "magic pill" for some of the issues associated with massive obesity. One issue you can get is obstructive sleep apnea where you're so fat your tongue blocks your throat at night, and you can't breathe. This e

Yeah, I'd agree if we're just talking about weight loss. However, it's important to make sure that you get all the vitamins and micronutrients you need in your diet as well to be healthy. Fortunately, it's not easy to be

It's more about eating less stuff like you said about calorie cutting than it is about eating the right stuff (although that's important too).
