Point being is it is much of the danger can be attributed to being in poorer health to start with. JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER PATHOGEN.


Mass stupidity. There is no epidemic in the area. Don't care what you say, there is a problem in Italy, and other places but not here. It simply isn't here on a scale that requires stopping everything. It is pure fear. What has happened is that fear itself has gone viral. It is only the fear that is worth fearing.


Right, the rich have nothing to lose, the poorer capitalists pay for the over reaction. That's why we see an over reacting, panicking society, because the rich benefit from it. It is the only reason they do anything, I hate to break it to you.


If nothing is done, the least privileged will suffer the most due lack of access to health services and a financial safety net.


But what is most assuredly going to happen is what benefits rich people. The rest is collateral damage or pure luck. Is what it is, nothing new under the sun.


That's because they are smart enough to know better. It is dumb people who play games with the lives of others, it is the fool who loves power.


Typically not in my experience. Smart technical folks are subjected to plenty of suffering at the hands of leadership. The ones "smart enough to know better" find a way to insulate their livelihoods from capricious decision makers by either learning how to play the game or finding a way not to play (consulting or maybe creating their own product).

And I don't think it's accurate either to say that only fools love power. The need for power and status is deeply rooted in our evolution and psyche. To go back to Aristotle, man is the political animal.


Very accurate to say the love of power makes a fool. A fool is just closer to an animal than a "wise" man. Power over another is just selfish, as love, or the care of more than yourself is altruistic. By smart enough to know better I meant they aren't the ones perpetuating the games, not that they are not suffering from the games. You flipped it backwards.


That is completely off track.


The Elephant in the room. When it's all politics, as it is in most of modern society, success really has much more to do with the ability to lie and deceive than most are comfortable admitting. There in lies the entire problem, and the solution is inchomphesible to polititions who owe their entire self worth to their abilities to decieve.


You want money. Next.


Not a win for them at all. Still have to do a legal distribution negotiation. So how would this help them ? It'll help them pay $500 a year more, that's all and that's the point of this change. Nothing more.


Parent laid it out already: without this option, device creators would need the full commercial license right from the start. This allows them to cheaply bootstrap and get the full license if/when their gadget proves promising.


Proves that honesty is really about being well trained. Which in America at least is the backbone of many, many unsolved problems . A entire culture based upon education and training only going to who is approved by the State and Capital, instead of training young people because they are young, and people.


Another system of mass stupidity. Our "leaders" should be absolutely ashamed of this disgusting "advancement" they have allowed to perpetuate uncontrolled. It's pathetic, and everyone knows it. Yet once again nothing will happen to improve things, they will "tweak" the algorithm and call it a day.
