    Was the druggist's action morally right? not enough information


    According to GP(?)'s logic, all the information you need is right there. He broke the law, and therefore is morally wrong. How uniformly the he applies this logic (to other, to himself- consider the "fundamental attribution error"), however is another story.


    This is a classic question... check out these links for more info:

    Oh, you both get a four on the stage of moral development (for what some internet retard's opinion is worth). Your first two paragraphs are the most telling, and consist of some reiteration. If you actually read the stuff in the links you may feel the need to over-rate yourself, based upon your comment about everyone who needs the medication, but think about your answer a little bit, and how you phrased it. Also, a more detailed version of the question is in the links, and says the cost of the drug is ten times less than the druggist asks for it. Sorry I didn't think that part out enough.

For whatever it's worth I agree with you, but without a basic knowledge of chemistry, the study of gun powder and munitions is going to be superficial at best.

  6. Well I'm happy things haven't changed since I left by gsn · · Score: 2, Informative · on Indian ISPs Taxed for Generating "Light Energy"
    Clearly, this entire comment page is a failure to understand the Indian mindset.

    Really what happened is the company (Airtel) didn't bribe some politician or offended one in some manner (such as an employee of the company playing his music too loud next door, or the company CEO refusing to let the politicians layabout son marry his daughter or some such, or indeed because the politicians astrologer told him it would be beneficial if he put shani in the 4th house of Airtel...).

    Clearly Airtel is in the deepest shit because
    "While the assessment on Airtel was completed and a notice issued to it for alleged tax evasion during the year 2005-06, no assessment has been concluded on other OFC broadband providers," A.K. Chitaguppi, Deputy Commissioner of Commercial Taxes, said.
    Ahh the Chitaguppis of this world are getting upitty these days.

    The problem will go away when either Airtel does bribe said politico or this goes to court for ten years and lawyers bicker back and forth using words that do not mean what they think they mean, and it dies a nice peaceful death. Or the politician does.

    In the event that this is the tax department trying to be "creative", I'd points out that cellular providers, radio providers and indeed basically any device that has a counter (your speedometer for instance)that you look at uses photons to transmit data to your cellphone/radio/eye. Ofcourse just imagine the increase in revenue if they taxed all those devices. Or argue that light is energy and Airtel (might be) is paying for their energy and simply changing energy from one form to another is a perfectly dull thing to do and is all allowed by this lovely little principle called conservation of energy.

    Also for your general light entertainment (hyuk hyuk) have a song.

  10. Getting a lot of press lately by diqrtvpe · · Score: 1 · on Singing Science

    One of my physics professors was interviewed several times with a number of articles written in major newspapers like the New York Times for his physics songs. One such article can be found at http://www.grammy.com/features/2005/0415physics.as px. All his songs can be found at http://www.haverford.edu/physics-astro/songs/. He usually has a song for each major subject in the syllabus, and, unlike the students in TFA, we were usually quite receptive, to the point where we would write our own songs. Some in the class even cited some of the songs as being extremely helpful during exams, because the equations come easier with a tune behind them. I don't know why there's such a strong connection between science and music, but it certainly seems to be shining through lately.

  11. Bird flu/swine flu...Here we go again by dtjohnson · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Researchers Reconstruct 1918 Flu Virus

    The news is full of stuff about how deadly the bird flu will be when it strikes. Now, the news says that the 1918 flu was linked to bird flu. But those of us who are over 40 remember the same sort of talk back in 1976...about 'swine flu.' Swine flu killed healthy soldiers at Fort Dix, NJ in 1976 and was alleged to be the same as the 1918 flu that killed millions. As a result, the president at the time (Ford) ordered a program of national vaccination for every man, woman and child in the United States. Most people received the 'swine flu' shot which made most who received it a little sick for 1 or 2 days. Then the swine flu didn't appear and everyone forgot about it. Now, supposedly the '1918 flu' is coming back again in the form of 'bird flu' so I have some questions:

    1) Why isn't the current president ordering vaccinations for everyone? The technology of making flu vaccines is pretty routine, even if the flue is alleged to be unusually lethal. Instead, President Bush is talking about imposing martial law and using the military to quarantine those portions of the country where the bird flu strikes.

    2) Why is the 1976 vaccine that was allegedly protective against the '1918 flu' not being resuscitated and updated to be used in 2005?

  16. Re:A Famous One Is... by Lupin+Variant · · Score: 1 · on Conceptual Models of a Program?
    In the process of designing our introduction to computer science (see our curriculum), I've put a fair bit of thought into the question of how to instill good conceptual models of programs and program execution into folks with no programming or design experience. A number of posters have remarked on the distinction between design and programming, and one problem is that you really need to learn both, hand in hand, right from the start -- learning design without programming can be way too vague and abstract, but learning programming without design just instills bad habits.

    In our first semester, we focus on (small-scale) algorithm design techniques and discuss two models of programs. The first is basically functional, using functions, immutable variables, and conditional statements -- in this case, we describe execution in terms of "substitution" of values (or expressions) for variables. We then move on to discuss mutable objects, reference parameters, and loops, and the model of execution as the update of the state of the set of variable values. We've been doing this in C++ recently, though of course you could use scheme or Lisp, and we may move to Java soon. For those who are saying "No, no! Describing the execution of C++ programs in terms of substitution is wrong ", I note that the interpretation of a C++ program occurs in two phases -- first the optimizer does local modifications that really are like substitutions, and then at run time the state update model is more accurate -- so knowing how the two go together is really the only accurate model.

    In our second semester, we get into data abstraction, and then later introduce inheritance and parametric types -- these also serve to add subtle flavors to the models of execution as we get closer and closer to the object-oriented "paradigm". We also discuss the issues of scaling up our simple "single-algorithm" design techniques to full software projects, though we don't have an explicit "software engineering" course.

    We find it very hard to find textbooks that support our approach, and generally focus on trying to find things that do a good job on part of what we're teaching without doing too much damage in other areas. Thanks to all who posted recommendations for books (I tried to borrow heavily from SICP in the original design of our course).

  18. Roujin Z by tempmpi · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Sony's New Bi-Pedal Robot

    Yaskawa Electric Corp., which supplies robots to auto assembly lines, has developed a $105,000 bed-shaped robot that can help rehabilitation patients who need to strengthen their legs.

    Sounds like Roujin Z to me. Roujin Z is a very funny anime by Katsuhiro Ôtomo, the director of the famous Akira. In the anime the story follows an old man in a new hightech bed, that is made to care for him. You can read a much longer review here.
