The Therac-25 is part of the core curriculum in computer engineering, but I wonder if it's actually (in the grand scheme of things) hat bad of an incident. Compared with Facebook fomenting ethnic cleansing in Asia, the people who were

Sure, but when you lose your job in the US Midwest you are without healthcare and you will probably lose your house, etc. It's impossible to compare jobs based only on salary, you have to calculate with the total cost of living and bal
