Slashdot Mirror

Its not the scalpel or the gun that is the problem, it is the mind and the intentions behind the hand holding the scalpel or gun.

Medical companies refuse to export drugs to the United States that they know are used in executions. But nobody will stop selling arms to someone else unless and until international law gets involved, and sometimes not even then. It seems pretty clear that those in the field of medicine have a higher moral standard.

You are mistaken. The law restricts both fields.

"Drugmaker Fresenius Kabi said shipments of the anesthetic propofol were halted to a Louisiana distributor for 4 1/2 months through mid-March because the company feared the European Union would ban export of the drug altogether if it was used in executions ... The death penalty is banned in the European Union, and the 27-country bloc, of which Germany is a part, bans the export of drugs for use in executions."

If all you do is write long run-on sentences, then point 9) you look like an idiot and more to the point, Point 10) no one is going to bother reading them no matter how interesting and insightful it is. You could write things all day long and even though it might be spelled rite and ain't got no many atrocious grammar missteaks, as long as no one reads it then all you've done is waste both your time and theirs. Also, you've increased global warming by breathing and expending energy while you wrote your War and Peace masterpiece and it didn't make any difference in the long run. So in other words: white space on the page is just like air in your lungs, if you don't have any white space in any or your paragraphs you should just stop breathing while you write it so that you remember not to do that. Blank space also creates a slight sense of restfulness for the eyes since you don't have a giant wall of black text staring at you that you have to parse. Instead of having a massive square of text, you might try a more artistic approach for your choo-choo (See marshall). If you just don't care though, you can write as much as you want, even try to write the Great American Novel. All you're doing though is taking low-paying jobs from a million monkeys, and now-a-days putting them on the unemployment line since they're people too. I suppose that's better than being served up as Soylent Green, though. And yes I know that in slashdot you can make things look as pretty as you want in the Comment section, but if you don't delimit them and add the internal markup, then you end up with stuff that looks a lot like this, I'm the only one still here, aren't I? Gee, this is just like back in grammar school when I was the last one picked for dodge-ball, as I couldn't dodge very well. That mean old Tommy always kept picking on me and throwing the ball as hard as he could; he even broke my arm one time and then stood over me and laughed and laughed. I hated him, I've hated him for years. He was always better than I was in almost everything, but just exactly like you he didn't bother to use white space and paragraphs while writing and ... TOMMY? TOMMY, IS THAT YOU?!!? I'm going to find out where you live and we'll just see how you like to be hit with a wrecking ball instead of a hard rubber ball.

So use white space or a wrecking ball might soon come your way. Oh, and those are all good points by the way, once you find them.

40-45 mph:

I suppose even a minor wreck can be fatal if the gas tank is ruptured.

"...there is no suggestion anyone was to blame for Walker's crash..." unless you follow that link which says that the police suspect that speed was involved. No question that anyone not in the car was to blame is a different sentence indeed. Looking at the pictures of the scene its hard to imagine that they were driving anywhere close to the 45mph speed limit.

And later they estimate the car was going 40-45mph. http://www.nbcnews.com/entertainment/paul-walker-was-real-hero-daughter-heart-soul-his-charity-2D11683842
How about waiting until the investigation is complete before jumping to conclusions? The police comment on random shit just to comment in cases like these. For some reason nobody considers "I have no idea, we're still investigating" an appropriate answer.

"Previous reports of Comet ISON's death may have been somewhat exaggerated, but this time it looks like the real thing [death].

Remnants of the object once touted as the "comet of the century" passed through the viewing field of the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory in the wake of Thursday's close encounter with the sun -- and as it passed, the bright spot that survived grew dimmer and dimmer.

"I do think that something emerged from the sun, but probably a very small nucleus or 'rubble pile.' and I fear that may have now dissolved," Karl Battams..." (Emph. added)

I could tell you about the NSA whistleblower, but I'm sure you know about him already.

The interesting thing is all these events no one was fired for wrongdoing, just for pointing it out. Whitehouse whistleblower protections indeed.

Andrew Ng didn't use random forests but a neural network to actually "learn" discriminative features *UNSUPERVISED*.
This is done by creating a Neural Network that basically projects it's input on it's output (it's like an identity function).
Lets say you have 100 input parameters, and 100 output parameters. What you want the neural network to do is compress these 100 to (for example) 10 nodes, then go back to the initial 100. In the process, this neural network will actually learn an identity function, where it will learn the important discriminative features in those 10 nodes.
This is somewhat different from how you usually use a neural network, starting with input parameters, go through a couple of hidden layers and end up with just a couple of output results.

Andrew Ng's google experiment did exactly that! It was not fed cat images. It was fed random images and through deep learning actually learned the concept of cats *UNSUPERVISED*.

The teams for Maven and Mangalyaan plan to collaborate in their studies of the Red Planet's atmosphere. For instance, there's been some evidence that methane is being released into the Martian atmosphere, which could hint at biological activity. Curiosity hasn't detected any methane at the surface, and Maven won't be measuring methane because that doesn't mesh with the mission's scientific goals. But Mangalyaan can take a closer look at the methane question, and its results could add to Maven's models.

I know you'll probably slap me for being pedantic, but it's Sears that bailed out K-Mart. Not the other way around.

You are mistaken, Kmart bought Sears.

Don't count Sears out. They own K-Mart now...

Nope. K-Mart owns Sears. The combined company is called "Sears Holdings" simply because K-Mart thought the historic Sears brand was more valuable. Sears went under and is now a K-Mart division.

In that sense health insurance is far more important than auto insurance.

No, it's not. If I am perfectly healthy (which I am) and able to pay my medical bills from my own savings, why should I have to have the added financial burden of paying for YOUR medical bills? That is what medical insurance is about after all, and something this administration has repeatedly said in the form of, "We need as many healthy people as possible to sign up so they can pay for the sick."

Health insurance is a cost which is never recovered. Ever. It's actually worse than car insurance because the insurance companies are betting you will stay healthy while you are betting you will get sick or injured.

That's not reasoning; that's manipulation.

No, it is reasoning by illustrating one of many reasons the colonists broke away from England. They were tired of BEING manipulated by government. They were tired of having to send the product of their labors back to England and then being told they had to buy finished products, made from their labors, only from England. They were tired of having their taxes go to expand the British Empire, tired of being used as pawns against the French, and so on. Their lives, to use your example, existed solely for the benefit of someone else. What they wanted did not matter. Thus, revolution and independence.

The rest of the world sees through these political and corporate planted "opinions" as nothing more than a way to protect profits.

Corporate planted? How is arguing AGAINST giving my money to a company a corporate planted opinion? I'm arguing against giving companies free money. If anything, I should be heralded by the Slashdot crowd for fighting against corporate governance and greed. The only one who is protecting profits is the Obama administration who gave insurance companies this windfall.

Your government tells you what to do and buy all the time you twit

Really? Explain how that works. Do they tell me I must buy my cable service from a specific company? Phone/cell service? Broadband (local government yes, but not Federal)? How about what food I must buy? The car I drive? Name one item the government tells me I must buy. Remember, this is on the Federal level we're talking about.

You don't oppose health care for "freedom" and you know it. You oppose it because you are told to.

No, I oppose being told I have to pay for your health insurance while you can continue to smoke, be obese, be an alcoholic or do drugs without having to change your ways. I oppose being told I must give up the fruit of my labors to people who won't take personal responsibility for their lives (going back to your original comment). I oppose having the government reach into my bank account and forcibly extracting my money and handing it over to a private company because I didn't "voluntarily" hand over the money to the company.

Health care and unhealthy American food are pretty much as far apart as things can get.

No, they're not. Americans eating junk food has a very high correlation to bad health. Witness the most recent result which shows why medical costs are so high in the U.S.: The reason what you think. Diabetes and heart disease come from two main issues: regularly eating food which is bad for you and not having an active lifestyle.

But if you would care to explain how keeping society healthy and productive, doing it cheaper than the American system and reducing crime is not a good thing

Considering UACA doesn't keep costs down or make people productive, it's a moot point. Nowhere in the bill are costs contained. The only thing this bill does is force people like me to pay for those who can't, or won't, take care of themselves. That is all. There will be no cost redu

nope.
In 2000 Blockbuster collected nearly $800 million in late fees, accounting for 16 percent of its revenue. Last year, those late fees had plunged to $134 million, or just 3 percent of the company's revenue.

16 percent is a far cry from half.

You realize that the last major threats on aircraft that got by TSA were all stopped by the passengers? That any major event that a shooter has gone nuts and started killing people within an armed area were a maximum 1 to 2 people? That shooters have specifically targeted areas with limited access to firearms to maximize the amount of damage they can do before being stopped?

Have you ever heard of a shootout at an NRA convention? Mass killing in a gun store? A hijacking of a military transport?

You are joking right? You're not just being ignorant or stupid?

The only time military personnel are allowed to posses firearms while on a base is for training purposes (even then may or may not have ammo), MPs/guards while ON DUTY (they must surrender their weapon and ammo to the armory when going off duty), married personnel (after filing required paperwork and getting permission) living on base within their own home, or checking the (even privately owned) weapon in or out of the armory to bring it on or off base. In other words, military bases inside the US are *effectively* gun free zones and have been for about 20 years thanks to Bush 41. When Alexis went on his spree, there may have been a total of 13 people on the entire base of 13,000 carrying a firearm (including Alexis). Probably about the same odds James Holmes had doing the same crap in a theater and encountering an off duty police officer that ignored the "No Guns" sign. That didn't happen, just talking about the odds... Basically chance in hell of encountering significant opposition. The odds in many places are in the favor of the psychopath. They only have to be rational for about 5 minutes to realize that, and it's time that is universally understood.

Failing to use common sense. PC sales are slipping badly.

Worldwide shipments of personal computers fell in the third quarter of the year, the sixth straight quarter of decline as cheaper tablet computers and smartphones cut into demand, according to market research firms IDC and Gartner. . . The top 3 PC sellers — Lenovo, HP and Dell — all grew shipments between zero and 3 percent during the quarter . . . Acer and Asus suffered steep declines.

It just shows you most people don't know.

It shows you people like you will twist facts whichever way they want. According to your own link, Apple is the #1 tablet maker by far and tablet sales have slowed for everyone. Yes Apple has dropped market share. For a long time they were the only ones making a compelling tablet that people wanted to buy. Now others are catching up. What isn't in your IDC numbers is how much profit Apple makes on their tablets. If it's anything like smartphones, they probably make more than their 30%.

For example: Not one word about the anti-NSA protests in US media. Still.

Your news gathering skills are....poor to say the least.

This is where I get tired of pasting, but I assure you the list goes on and on.

Yes, while he did not state his source for the information that it costs more to execute, the studies I have seen that support that notion put all the cost on the appeals: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/29552692/#.UmqwU1FDuP8 http://www.deathpenalty.org/article.php?id=42

Apparently a combination of regulations and manufacturing problems. See here:

Now that is old news (2010) and apparently both Teva and Hospira are going to restart production ... slowly. However, unless and until they get a significant output going (not soon), Fresenius is the sole supplier, more or less. See here:

The fuckers probably lobbied for it's use in death penalties just to get rid of competition.

The problem with your argument is that there are a number of people sentenced to death that are completely innocent. It also costs more to sentence someone to death in the US than life imprisonment.

They can & do try. It's not exactly a secret that Russia has physical spies in the U.S. or China has been cyber-attacking the U.S. or 'friendly' nations like France doing corporate espionage.

http://www.in-pharmatechnologist.com/Processing/Propofol-Lethal-Injections-Blocked-as-Teva-and-Hospira-Re-Enter-Market

I found an informative article. Summary: It says that essentially the US firm Hospira is unable to proceed due to the FDA not authorizing changes in the manufacturing process. Teva, an Israeli company, exited the business after what sounds like a combination of manufacturing issues and a large number of spurious lawsuits over a hepatitis C outbreak. The drug itself is extremely hard to manufacture, and profits are nearly non-existent so there's little incentive for competitors to enter the market.

Possibly the issue would be resolved if the FDA were to change the regulations, but again, no information on what exactly the problem is were reported.

It's illegal to fly an RC model for any kind of pay.

That's what *I* thought, too. So why don't we take a page direct from the politicians: I fly for myself and take pics, and then give them to you because you ask. (Presumably I'd need to give them to all comers, but then again not Every Single Person I meet is my friend. So I don't see that saying "No" is that bad. A judge may disagree.)

You, then, contribute to my fund (charitable, PAC, LLC, something) that I just happen to control. No no -- it's not MY money at all, it's the funds' money; I just happen to be the one in control of it. Or my friend is, whatever.

Now, could the feds come in and take control and arrest me before, during, or after the fact? Yep, because the men with guns always win, especially if they have enough bullets.

By the way, I think that's great: "I use it to troll 'real world' groups... Completely legal as I'm doing it for fun." But mightn't fun have consequences? Just because you're having fun doesn't mean everyone else is. Aren't you responsible if you hurt someone else? And if there's not some kind of ID (owner sticker, serial number, etc) on it, how are they to know who owns it? Do you walk up and say "Sorry about that" and claim ownership and responsibility? Or do you just write it off as perhaps a bad battery and disappear?

Fun is by yourself or with friends, and perhaps with a few strangers accidentally nearby. Fun does not consist of ONLY strangers. Then again I'm an old fogie, so get off my lawn. And by the way: I'm practicing.

In 60 years they'll probably have a very expensive medication you can take to moderate the effects of the disease. That's the way it's going it seems in Big Pharma, they won't cure you but they'll milk you for a very expense prescription for the rest of your life.

Now ancestry.com is using it so you can find your genetic roots as well. You may as well go to the Mall and get your Biorhythm chart built out for you because you're born with a set of genes and unless there are cures for all these things that are genetically linked, knowing that you'll die at a certain time or have a certain disease has more meaning later on in life and will create unnecessary worry and burden on you and your loved ones. While you're on this planet with it's dysfunctional economies and governments where war is preferrable to peace, enjoy life to its fullest and every day of your life because you could also get run over by a truck walking across the US on an honor walk for your son.

Repeat much propaganda? Food inspectors were not on furlough. Those people were considered essential. Most DOD workers were not on furlough. Most contractors were not on furlough either, because contracts are all paid up front in Government work.

Go back and read what I stated, then go do some fact checking. Nothing I said is wrong, everything you claimed is wrong.

I was a federal employee for 3 years, but I left 6 months ago for the private sector because the benefits, pay, and stability of a federal job were terrible. I'll say that again, the benefits, pay, and stability of a federal job is significantly worse than in the private sector.

Strawman much? First, that is a complete load of bullshit because I worked in DOD for probably longer than you have had a career. I was also Military, so save your fallacy. More importantly, it does not change anything I stated or that you lied about.

You're clearly wrong about most everything, and clearly have some anger management issues. I'll just address the first of your contentions, that FDA was not furloughed. Since you're clearly wrong here, I don't think it's worth debating with you any longer. Go back to your Fox "News", where facts change around ideology instead of the other way around.

Nah, that is the job of the "non-partisan" media. Guess which way they broke on it?

Journalists dole out cash to politicians (quietly)

Msnbc.com identified 143 journalists who made political contributions from 2004 through the start of the 2008 campaign, according to the public records of the Federal Election Commission. Most of the newsroom checkbooks leaned to the left: 125 journalists gave to Democrats and liberal causes. Only 16 gave to Republicans. Two gave to both parties.

Do journalists' political donations (mostly Democratic) = news bias?

You'll never guess what he says he found -- 235 journalists donating to Democrats while only 20 gave to Republicans for a total of $225,563 to Democrats and $16,298 to the the GOP-inclined. - See more at: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/07/media-politics.html#sthash.hhVKqE2Z.dpuf

There are indeed such risks. Particularly in the US, doctors sometimes suggest or encourage unnecessary c-sections because they think they're safer (and less likely to result in lawsuits), opening the door to a number of complications; people (either doctors or mothers) choose to induce labour chemically to fit a schedule, leading to fatal exhaustion from prolonged labour; and there's some evidence that lying down while giving birth is less healthy than standing up, simply because of how the human body is built, which comes with yet another raft of potential issues. Here is a discussion of the first one. Not sure I agree with this study, but hey, these things happen. It's fairly easy to research.

I mean if you have official looking letterhead, that means you must be legitimate, right?

Thankfully, the days when our admin people wanted a fax on headed notepaper before they believed a business was legitimate are long gone. However, the ways that legitimate business people identify themselves to you are still very primitive. If you're lucky they send you a notification that you can pick up a PM. Banks are often the worst, where they robocall you and want you to provide personal details before they tell you why they called.

Changing a DNS record is small beer, though. Social engineering by fax can acheive much more than that: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/18251472/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/t/prison-releases-felon-after-getting-phony-fax/
