Have you read why the FDA had rejected them? There are a lot of ways to cure problems, but often the side effects are worse then the illness they are causing. So it cures IBS so you don't need to go to the bathroom as often and less pain from gas... However you now need to get a new kidney or liver. Is that really better?
You can have the All Natural GMO Organic HIV Virus munch away at your Immune system until you are dead. Poison Ivy is all natural, and Organic and GMO Free, and it is still bad for you, hence why it is called POISON ivy.
Being that AIDS in wealthier countries is no longer the epidemic that it use to be, this is due to a lot of advancements in medical technology, where the HIV virus can be managed. Shows there has been progress in fighting the virus. Dating myself a bit, but I remember when the Basketball Star Magic Johnson was reported to have HIV back in the early 1990's people assumed he had only a few years left to live, and countries boycotted playing against him during the Olympics. He is still around and healthy except for the HIV Virus which he will need to manage.
Back in the 1980's and 1990's HIV was mostly considered a death sentence, now it is more of a chronic condition which needs to be managed and safeguards to prevent it from spreading. This is progress, However we are past the Polio and Small Pox phases of medicine where you can just take a pill or get a shot and you are protected. So the progress now is incremental, and chances this drug may be effective but not for all people, and perhaps not forever.
That is about right. I normally factor $80 a person per week for my food budget. Normally you can get some economy of scale with additional people, being able to buy in bulk.
This seems to be a common failure in internet business when they get into grocery.
Same day delivery, across wide geographic area. specialized technology, higher staff amount, and trying to keep it affordable. Food is a necessary thing, and it is something we don't want to kill our budget on. So we are more than willing to go out of the way to buy food at the store, especially if it will save us some money.
At some point I hope there will be major fines against companies that got hacked in a preventable way. And also hopefully more effort to track down the hackers who do the harm and give them 1 volt shock for every mega byte they had stolen.
You call up the company, that you are paying thousands of dollars a month, and put it on the possible wishlist for the next version which you will need to pay for the future upgrade.
Or you open a ticket and the vendor sends you a link to the stackoverlow site. (i Had that happen before too)
Except they may be too new for them to use. We have the Execs who were Web Designers during the 1990's Dot Com boom. Who had learned the new software is often stuff that is the most unreliable. Granted many of the newer languages have more safeguards but they don't know that.
You may make people happier, but you will more or less live your life doing a humdrum job.
For the most part with these newly hired coders, once they realize why we do things the way we do, and after an update and they find their mistake that they did in protest of the old guy who seems to be stuck in his ways, actually went to bite them in the butt. Will learn their lessons, and actually be much better coders. However the problem is a lot of organizations don't keep the developers long enough to learn their lessors, and keep on dumping inexperienced code to the the next inexperienced developer compounding the problem.
You will never escape poorly written software no matter what language it is. One of the toughest things to teach new coders out of school, is to think forward.
These are most common arguments with New Hires. 1. Don't hard code paths in the system. Especially if it is in code that needs to be compiled. 2. Don't try to be too clever with condense code, There will be a requirement change and less clever code is easier to fix. 3. Don't drop your custom library files into the compilers library folder. This will make migrating the software to an other platform more difficult. 4. Avoid 3rd party tools and add-ons as much as possible. As they may no longer be supported in the future or work in newer products. 5. Make sure you use code that works well on most Systems, avoid using OS particular features unless absolutely necessary. The OS Maker may choose to change or drop that feature in the next version, or we may want to change OS's in the future.
When faced to make an "Enterprise Level Product" and you have to pick a Language to code it in, you have few choices that will get past the execs. You have.NET, Java, C/C++ The other languages out there from Node.JS, Python, Ruby, PHP, Rust... Either do not have "Enterprise Support" (whatever that means) and in general these lanagues the Execs never heard of them before and really don't want a lecture to explain it to them. Then these big name languages have fancy IDE interlaces that can make frameworks from UML graphics and a bunch of crazy expensive addons that allow the sales men who such executives trust more then their own staff .
So with all this You have.NET which is Java only for Windows. Then you have C/C++ which often will take a lot more effort to build, and there is a heck of a lot of testing needed for every new platform.
So Java unfortunately is still a good choice with the restrictions of the corporate environment.
Boo hoo. Technology get out of date, and sometimes the replacements have some trade-offs. What happened to our parallel ports and serial ports. Floppy disk drives. The Technology of today will not be the technology of tomorrow, it is the nature of the business.
Apple compared to Google and Microsoft have a rather good track record of keeping your privacy. This face ID doesn't get saved on the cloud, it is saved securely on the device. Today's day and age we need strong authentication, so Bio-metrics is a good strong secure way to validate identity, compared to others.
Could Apple push the data to the cloud, yes, but they havn't yet.
You are treating evolution like it is some sort of planed design. Not all traits are for genetic survival. They are a lot of them that get passed on because it doesn’t kill the person before they can pass on to the next generation. The high rate of mutation is probably a numbers game as males are constantly making sperm vs woman who have a fixed supply of eggs. This fact may have little to do about survival as most mutations don’t do anything noticeable or will kill you.
The government normally reflects the will of the people. Most people don’t realize risking 0.1% of your security from attacks from bad guys your privacy and personal freedom can double.
Right now we as a world are afraid of the mean old other guy who may have a few random attacks a year which in theory can be preventable. So we cry out “why didn’t we stop this before it happened, we have the technology to do this!” So the government implements the technology and may or may not catch the bad guy from it. However this implementation in place now infringes more on our privacy and way of life.
For most homes a normal door lock is sufficient even in semi tough neighborhoods. Sure nearly anyone can get in using a credit card or just some force. But most wont bother, so the basic lock is good enough for these people. If they are a storefront then they will normally have better locks. So D-Link targeting consumers may have crap security but it may be good enough for average joe who is using it behind their cable modem router. Thus no one being harmed.
After customers report harm the case can be opened again. The Fact that the FTC had raised caution in the past can be extra evidence. The law requiring to say your Coffee is hot on the cup only happens after someone burns themselves with it. For the Coffee case it would be trying to sue McDonnalds for brewing really hot coffee, where no one actually hurt themselves. Most people know pouring hot coffee can injure people. But it is legal to brew hot Coffee. However after proof the Coffee was too hot, then the case can be made.
Had people been injured from others who were doing dangerous driving. The FTC if showed harm from similar products from similar vulnerabilities then they may had a case.
I am sorry that the W3C had to approve DRM. However most of the arguments against it are rather lame. Most people just want to watch their movie. They don’t want to copy it or use it unfairly. But the thing with digital media is if it is too easy to copy and share. That is what will happen. Old anolgies with VCR do not apply because that is an Analog copy so every copy is degraded. While every copy of digital data is the same. And now with high speed networking it is rather efficient to share previously too much info. Even weak DRM is enough to stop most people and going to court it is easy to prove malicious intent. Does it goes against Open Source Standards? Yes it does. However the world doesn’t rotate around open source standards. If you want to get rid of it you will need to blacklist all the sites that use it. And properly boycott the DRM material. This doesn’t mean pirating the content. But going without it in terms of protest. Pirating the content will only show there is a demand for their product and double down on the DRM to fight piracy more.
While someone with a CS degree may start off as a coder the same position as someone without one. The education (if you chose to apply it) can allow you to get out of coding to development, and architecture where each new level allows you to have more control of what is done and how to do it. While the person without the degree will have a much steeper threshold for promotion. Although they may be an excellent coder they will have funny gaps in their skills that makes advancement difficult.
Engineer is a job. Not an academic title. Higher education is not a job training institution so for most professions you job title isn’t tied to your degree.
You can choose to not enforce or go after every breach of the law. So he can target right wing group because he can. The law doesn’t accept look see the other guy is doing it, as much as your parents don’t.

College interns, who else. It is better than slave labor because they pay the organization to do the work.
For some reason people have a hard time connecting insecticides on flowing crops to death of bees (which are insects).
