That seems more like the best response would be to quarantine dorm residents at the first positive test, and maintain it until all cases that came up resolved. Only exception is medically necessary transport to a hospital for ICU care if n

Not disagreeing in the slightest. My home laptop (Inspiron touchscreen model) will be on Ubuntu when the HDD gets replaced, with little regret.

If you get infected, you put others at risk of getting infected, no matter how perfectly you may think you've isolated yourself. Unless you have a clean room level setup somewhere, you're making yourself a reservoir of viral load

Research how many states have pushed hard to break up unions of nearly every type. Wisconsin's governor made the news repeatedly pulling through "right to work" laws (I don't know details but I was shocked at how little

I think you left off your sarcasm tag. Getting > 0 dollars as a consequence of encouraging and abetting multiple scandals worth of malpractice is NOT what I meant. While rank and file employees who complied were and should have been fir

I have interpreted it, and some similar comments, as a way to lessen the pain of expectations and feeling like you're falling short of your own life. The emotional distance between "perfectly healthy and wonderful" is much mu

Agreed it's not a trivial problem. That was my point, that we need to show the cases of worst behavior often, loudly, and broadly so that people are informed and have the option to make choices. Got a bone to pick about BG, gotcha.

On the other hand, under the UCMJ generally subordinates that are forced into compliance with unlawful orders are not punished anywhere near as harshly as the superior officers that cause the situations. Not that any institution gets it rig

For quite a while, she had a financial assistant and a home visit assistant, each of whom visited at least twice a week. Because of insurance changes, the financial assistant had to stop. It was in the gap of finding this out and getting m

Sounds like a good incentive to start services to actually help protect those most vulnerable to scams - my own mother could have benefited from something similar as one of her caretakers bilked her out of a few thousand dollars toward the

Hopefully that's not a case of "must be seen to be doing something" syndrome. If you can use pre-existing tools and they serve the purpose, how easy or difficult is it to resist the "shift to this" pressure?

The first one sells for $20k. The second one sells for $200k. The third one sets a worldwide auction record. Just as plausible given the motives of art buyers.

Was just helping a relative get their system back up and running after being unplugged for a bit. Celeron 950MHz, 512MB RAM, 20GB HDD, 12x CD-ROM (not DVD :), floppy, add-on IDE Ethernet card. Win XP actually. We have an unused Win8 desktop

I think the more likely scenario is who wouldn't you sue? Even the camera manufacturer wouldn't be immune from defending themselves. Welcome to America.

It's a hard enough problem for many humans... I completely agree with you. If someone can make even a decent AI DM, I'd say turn that one loose on NP-complete for a followup softball question.

I see a distinction between a basic creativity, i.e. how do i finagle the best existence out of this set of circumstances, cleverness, I suppose, and a fundamental creativity, the more artistic, unfettered by everyday concerns. Like Maslow&

Take an example with only two fireflies. Their clocks won't be at the same point at first, of course. So one lights up... and the instinct is for the other firefly to try and light up at the same time. How? Since it was going to light

Given how much space Twitter seems to occupy in Trump's head, maybe this is the only possible channel of control... maybe lock his feed up in some sort of info bubble just like politicians want to do to us.
