NASA is broke. There is no funding.

No way can NASA get to the Moon, much less Mars.

The era when NASA could get guys to the Moon and back is gone. It will never come back.

Sad but true.

It depends on the couple. My first marriage was not a happy one. My second marriage was a happy one.

From the article:

> The report is called, “Married People Are Living Their Best Lives,” which is vivid, but, as a statistician, I wish they’d added “On Average” somewhere in that title.

Yes it would be. At first.

Probably as good as it was for German armaments manufacturers pre-1945.

That China war might have been winnable if it had been started by 2020. Now, probably not.

Very. Compare the height of Everest to the size of the Earth and it's an exceedingly small difference. Probably like the thickness of a film of paint on a baseball.

Which bit?

The code without braces, or adding braces to debraced code?

For me the debraced code is very ugly. And there is a reason why indented code went out of fashion in the 70s in favor of freeform.

As years go by some new guy thinks he has invented something new and wonderful, but that 'something new' is very often something that was tried before and was found wanting.

Translation: I want paying customers before I have a working product.

Definitely a very good business model. I hope it works out.

No, maybe it got lost in translation. I meant, I will open up an account for you for free and you test it. If you like it or hate it, you just tell me. That was the whole point.

I answered this, the last time this article was submitted, yesterday.

The Australian health care system which is a mix of government-funded care for everybody, including the rich. And privately-funded healthcare for those that can afford more convenience.

Which means that everybody can receive free healthcare from doctors and hospitals. And your private health insurance can cut queue times for elective surgeries.

I made the point that my cardiac bypass surgery 19 years ago which entailed the surgery itself, the two days in ICU, and another 3-4 days in a private room cost me absolutely nothing 'out of pocket'. Total cost was of the order of about $120,000 which was borne both by the government-funded part of the healthcare system and also by my private health insurance.

Yes I paid for some of that, with a health-levy on my taxes, and my private insurance premiums which covered both my wife and me and cost (then) about $3000 per year.

That just signifies that HiLux trucks are very common, not how ISIS got lots of them.

Those US Officials should be asking other US (Intel) Officials.

The fact that they don't tells us something about their expectations of US Intel.
