Let’s not forget that the FDA is who creates the environment that leads to things like Martin Shkreli cornering the market on certain drugs and charging exorbitant prices for them. Let me give you an example. Suppose someone figured out that Aspirin can be used to treat a disease that it had never been tried on…

“How much damage can a fucking moron do in 8 years?” - There, fixed that for you.

2 years after the PPACA went into effect.

Both parties have lost their minds on the issue of abortion. Neither has the moral high ground in my opinion. Trump is pro LGBTQ rights and actually had the Republicans cheering about them during his campaign. I don’t yet know what characteristics he will look for in a justice but I have hopes he will select a modern…

It is the Democrats’ fault for not getting key demographics to the polls (hispanic and black) and for letting their own blue-collar constituents cross over. It stings, but the most powerful and experienced politician in the country was out-played by a political novice.

Democrats didn’t seem to mind when Perot handed the presidency to Clinton in a much more obvious appropriation of votes from Bush.

Show us one bit of solid evidence that Johnson took more votes from Clinton than from Trump.

Not only is that not how this works, as I am sure you know, but that is really not how this works, as you may not. I get the feeling that you think you live in what is supposed to be a democracy. Goodness knows that’s what public schools have been teaching my kids for the last 10 years, so I wouldn’t be surprised. The…

If you thought there was sexism in anything I said, you are dead wrong.

Whatever helps you feel good about her losing. I frankly don’t think sexism had much if anything to do with her loss. I think it was near complete myopia to the political mood of the country. Her political machine severely over-estimated the effect of the black and hispanic vote and completely under-estimated the…

It would help a lot if these children were not being lied to regarding what the future could hold and what has been said. If people would stop being hyperbolic with the things Trump has said the concerns would be substantially less. If people would explain what the limits of power are and correct the conceptions the…

No, she does not, because, despite being the most experienced and most powerful politician in the country, she got out-played by a novice who was fighting not only against her, but against a substantial portion of his own party. She has no excuse for losing. None.

When all the non-racist, non-misogynist, non-homophobic, non-bigoted people get so sick of you calling them racists, misogynists, homophobes and bigots that they go out and vote against your candidate, do you:
A. Reevaluate your personal conduct and strategy of convincing people to share your politics?
Or
B. Call them…

Yup. Kicked her ass. Outmaneuvered the most powerful politician and political dynasty in the country while fighting her supporters and much of his own party.

I get his point, though. If, by casting any doubt on the technology, you delay it’s implementation, then you could be contributing to the deaths of hundreds or thousands of people. I agree that it is important to look at AI-involved crashes to see if they can be improved, but to make them major media events, when they…

“At”. “Breakfast AT Tiffany’s”. Not “and”. “At”. I have not read one article this morning that didn’t have fundamental errors, though this is far from the worst. Since this publisher saw fit to make fun of Yahoo for mistaking McLaren for DeLorean, perhaps they should be a bit more careful themselves.

Snark all you want, but ignore demographics and you won’t sell much.

Perhaps he did. The potential of losing one’s job, losing a mortgage and failing to provide for one’s family can feel very much like a gun to the head.

In the tech industry, this has largely happened, already. In all of the companies I’ve worked for in the last 15-20 years, most of middle and lower management do both individual contributor work and management work. Having had to fill that sort of role, I can tell you it is incredibly hard to do both well…

What is Matt Merimee’s condition? The headline and body of this article(nearly decapitated”, “turning the brain ... into oatmeal”) leads us to believe he is dead or, at least, in a coma. Or is it just clickbait?
