True. The problem of course, is that very often the traits that make for a good physician are not those that make for a good social conservative. Doctors do have a tendency to want to treat sick people.
For free? No, for cold, hard cash. A doctor still works in his self interest. Don't kid yourself, we all have to eat. You just want to eat on someone else's dime.
Oh so very clever, to take may statement and say that I'm saying that Doctors work for nothing.
That is so incredibly weak, most trolls wouldn't think of it.
This is going to be shocking, so cover the kids ears.
Not everyone adheres to the concept of I don't give a fuck unless I'm getting wealthy, and if you don't pay me, you can FOAD. Some people are actually nice to others without being paid for it. That doesn't mean they don't want paid, it just means that they don't connect the two.
And don't for a minute thing that the farthest right leaning social conservative doesn't have a bucket list of things that people are supposed to do for them on others dimes.
And... how is it doing now? The poorest people I know are still getting no health care for themselves-- their employers give them fewer than 33 hours so that they don't have to subsidize it-- and you can't pay for even the cheapest plans on $30,000. At least their kids are on CHIP.
Obamacare has been given enough time to have results, and all it's done is tax the middle and lower class. Obamacare is a failure.
First off, there is no doubt that Obamacare sucks. Then you have to ask yourself why.
It's a bastardized system, this Romneycare, that tries to apply greed to a system that shouldn't be run by greed.
Any system that requires profit via healthcare is doomed to failure by it's very nature. When you need higher profits the next quarter, and when you can profit largely be making expenditures go away, it simply isn't going to work.
I'm a firm believer that there are some things in this world that show how unbridled greed makes them run well. And I believe that the US healthcare system is starting to show that we are the big powerful nation that can't. - any more. The profit model doesn't work so weell in matters of life and death.
So under our healthcare, and especially under the way it was heading, the adage of "die quickly" wasn't anything other than the profit model, as when people die off before they can extract money from the system, the system profits. As much as some opponents of that pejorative might have bristled, it is a path to profit.
The reason most of the healthcare costs are the way they are because of what we used to lovingly call hillarycare.
Jeebuz christa on a pogo stick. Your post is just like people blaming President Obama for world war 2 Thanks for playing, I have no need to read any posts that blame the healthcare Issues on a person who didn't have a gaddamned thing to do with them.
Now get bact to infowars, because next you'll tell us that the Clintons, th eO'bamas, and FDR have time machine where they go back in time to make certain things are all fucked up
Well, the study took 10 years, so hopefully there are others going on in parallel. Because that's some pretty slow progress on a real bane of a problem.
What is fascinating is that this might now extend the "All of your problems are your own fault" crowds finger pointing to the final frontier - dementia.
It even seems like a plausible premise, that using the mind keeps it healthy, but it could very well mimic a slow cognitive decline. If a person disengages from intellectual activity, it might just be that they were already naturally declining anyhow.
anyhow, if it is true, I shouldn't have much problem - since retirement I've taken on many new mental endeavors. Tho' some think I am already demented.
This was, interestingly, a Reagan initiative: the law that hospital emergency rooms cannot turn away patients simply because they cannot pay. (Reagan was not quite as heartlessly libertarian as he is now portrayed.)
This was the single most expensive government-imposed healthcare mandate ever passed in the US. Obamacare (or, as you call it with some accuracy, Romneycare) is more or less just a tweak to try to ameliorate some of the side effects of that law.
True. The problem of course, is that very often the traits that make for a good physician are not those that make for a good social conservative. Doctors do have a tendency to want to treat sick people.
My guess if that the emergency room initiative hadn't gone through, that Doctors Without Borders would have most of it's operations inside the US, as we would need it.
Wow! A whole 10%! What a disaster...oh by the way, you were subsidizing the poors healthcare anyway. Where do you think it came from? The magic fairy tree?
For all of the bluff and bluster of the anti-Romneycare folks, the USA was in a positive feedback loop of the poorest using emergency rooms as basic healthcare - the most expensive healthcare in the world. The costs were passed up the foodchain, and as you note, subsidized by us via larger insurance premiums. What was happening was as the premiums were increasing the people who were increasingly unable to afford healthcare was increasing, which was moving more to the emergency room model of healthcare, which was then charged upwards.......
The health insurance system in use was going to die in a few years, and we would have ended up with the weirdest Universal healthcare system imaginable.
1) Fiorina has not declared bankruptcy.
2) HP did not declare bankruptcy under Fiorina.
3) Hillary Clinton has not had to declare bankruptcy.
Meanwhile, Trump has had four bankruptcies and is the subject of multiple class action suits over the scam that was Trump University.
If the only choice is between a disaster that doesn't bankrupt the country and an apocalypse that does, I'll take the disaster.
Agreed. It is the height of dumbshittedness for males to point to any female top executive that has failed or is failing and declare that is some sort of proof that females cannot lead or are otherwise unsuited because of their gender.
Certainly Yahoo's problems were well in place before Mayer ever showed up.
Fiorina is a bad CEO, as witnessed by her trying to make her way as a political candidate, where many of her traits that caused problems at HP have shown up, which is an inability to alter course or change her mind when given irrefutable proof that she is wrong. Which is not remotely a female trait - history is littered with men with the same issue.
And who would even know about Clinton? Once you have that last name, there are people who will attempt to use any infraction and amp it up, and take much worse actions performed by their preferred political leaders and outright ignore them. Interestingly enough, before she showed presidential aspirations, she was generally admired and dare we say liked by Republican colleagues. Now Behghazi is called the worst disaster ever, ignoring the orders of magnitude more embassy attacks and deaths during the first 8 years of this century, and what was at best a security violation now merits a call for imprisonment, the attack dogs just make it difficult to assess her actual performance.
But back to the subject, given that the vast number of bankruptcies and poor business management is performed by males, it probably isn't a good idea to point at Mayer and declare Yahoo's problems at base are because she is female.
A Glassdoor spokesperson said "We are extremely sorry for this error. We take the privacy of our users very seriously
No you don't you stupid assholes. Because you just showed how frivolously you take their privacy by telling the world who they are, in as mindlessly careless a way as can be imagined.
May all of your employees find new jobs, and may you go out of business in as humiliating a way as possible.
So if I rush out to buy this thing because I can clip a projector on it, there'll be better phones with better projectors built in long before my phone's out of contract.
Even if, there will not be actual good projectors, only slightly better toy projectors. This just isn't a thing remotely good to bolt or embed in a phone.
Speaker module, though... Those things should come with a built-in shaped charge to take out the asshat who doesn't understand what headphones are for.
OK hipster douche nerd wannabees. Let's see you design and build something better. If it was a Google product, they'd likely suck up to it real good.
Why? If I need a projector - I'll use a projector that is a real projector, not some My little Pony toy thing. It's the same with most Smartphone "innovations". Camera? I only use my phone's camera if I have to, because the phone camera is just a semi-shitty toy. Speakers? Unless the laws of physics have changed, they'll just be little shit things as well.
Battery pack? Okay, but a dedicated battery pack? That's not remotely innovation, just an accessory that will enable you to forget charging for a longer time, then have to buy a generic charger at WalMart when both the phone and dedicated battery go dead.
This thing isn't remotely innovative. It's trying to be a Swiss Army Knife of smartphones. I have a Swiss, but it only sits in the glove compartment of the car. Meanwhile, I'll actually use a Buck Tac knife because it functions well as a knife.
This phone is thinking so far inside the box, it's pathetic.
clip on accessories make a lot of sense from a mobile perspective. Only having one device to carry over multiple means you have less chance of forgetting or leaving it somewhere and an easier time carrying it. The projector sounds really cool. I'd never carry around a wireless one, I might do the clipon.
Seems to me that this device does have lots of stuff to forget or lose.
I'm curious too. I guess we'll have to wait and see if this is going to happen more often.
Unless you feel like experimenting by posting messages that would qualify for the same treatment, of course. Personally, I don't.
Posts don't get deleted, they get modded up or down.
Some anonymous cowards get much butthurt when anyone disagrees, so they make up this censorship meme.
That being said, when the cowards go on one of their weird psychosexual or ridiculously offtopic binges, we have the ability to set the topic settings so we don't see the stuff. That also causes much butthurt.
Paying customer don't get ads on the service. Perfectly targeted ads that are not heard would be somewhat useless...
So paying customers do not give Spotify any personal information? I don't particularly care, but if you give any commercial outfit doing business on the internet any personal information, they are monetizing your info in some way.
It's sexist in the same way as demanding people of different races to participate in movies even if it is counteracting the script/book the movie is based on.
That's completely bizarre, Ms Teitel is not operating in a field where women are excluded, but she is female, and she promotes herself, she is not being promoted by anyone else So I don't get your idea that anyone is demanding a female space historian in a field that is exclusively male, but put her in there simply because she's not male. Sorry muchacho, your logic got lost somewhere.

Female astronauts
Are not women astronauts? Yes, they are female, yes they are women who have flown in space. If you think that mentioning gender is sexism, you've just boxed yourself into a very tight corner. To demand such gender purity that it dare not be mentioned is to introduce a paradox into any concept of gender quality. A bizzarro worls where there can be no gender inequity , because it has become taboo to even have a gender at all.
All of this was a very long way of saying don't be a gadammed asshat. Peace out, and find someone else to troll..
There is a woman space historian, Amy Shira Teitel,...
I know you weren't intentionally being sexist - but a historian's gender doesn't really affect their ability.
Since when is mentioning a person's gender being sexist?
The irony of all of that is that the people who seem to love to deny mentioning a male/female gender seem to have a metric shitload of genders

Tell me, since these labels are approved by Social Justice warriors, Any there I can choose from and not elicit outrage? How odd that people who don't want others to define them go batshit insane with labeling.
This one is cute - directly from Microsoft and I quote> "However, high compatibility workbooks/projects can be achieved", as well as "There may well be a solution or workaround." Hozabout that? High compatibility is not compatibility, and workarounds are not compatibility. http://answers.microsoft.com/e...
I don't know, I managed to beat the highway mileage for my Grand Marquis by 2 miles per gallon while traveling at a cruise control set 77 mph. I don't do real city driving but around town and country roads average 2 miles per gallon over the combined city/highway rating. I don't have the lead foot I had in my 20's and 30's anymore but I don't dawdle even though I no longer feel the need to launch at every light.
Yes - the difference between different drivers makes any idea that a person will buy a vehicle and get the exact mileage written on the sticker impossible.
I would hazard a guess that the type A people who probably have more agressive driving habits are also the people who would want to think there is an exact gas mileage figure that can be used.
Time lag at postings of stories is sometimes causing problems with causality.
I think there are some serious problems with the story submission and approval process. Given that clickbait isn't going away, I would suggest that more stories be posted. I've seen some interesting and relevant stories languish, while the clickbait runs right through. But enough of that.
In any case the Apollo program seems to have been the pinnacle of human exploration of the solar system.
It was an amazing tour de force that miraculously was carried out in a few short years. And it is almost impossible to choose what was the most impressive innovation. Was it the balls to the wall power of the mighty Saturn V and it's incredible F1 engine. Or the guidance computer and it's almost incomprehensible programming method. And add to that list as you like, because there is so much ro be added.
There is a woman space historian, Amy Shira Teitel, who has a lot of interesting videos on youtube. A search shows a lot of vids she has made. A good concise communicator, who can pack a lot of information ito a few minutes, and as a side benefit, at least for me, is her voice and pronunciation is easy for these almost deaf ears to hear. She puts out new vids weekly.
After that we have been using robot probes with a lot less risk for human life but also a lot less challenges that could spawn new useful technology.
Two thoughts on that. We still are doing near earth work in space. We're just kinda used to it. It doesn't have the breathtaking aspects of the Apollo moon rocket launches, which for a little trivia, were the loudest man made sounds outside of nuclear explosions ever made. Must have been both thrilling and terrifying in the control center. during the launches. And the Russians took an inherently extremely dangerous action and reduced it to practice, which even if it isn't as exciting is every bit as important.
The other thought is that the robotic stuff is very exciting, and most interesting, but really doesn't have the same thrill as the off planet human presence. And for myself, I believe the proponents of robotic only space research are missing an important point. They act as if every dollar spent on human spaceflight is stealing a dollar from robotic space exploration. But that really isn't the case. Space kooks such as myself support both aspects, robotic and human presence in space, but the human presence in space is our main thrust. So while I support defense department like funding (like that will happen) for both human and robotic exploration, without a human presence in space, that support drops to roughly 0. dollars.
Still remember my dad installing seatbelts in 1957 Bel Air because he was an extremely intelligent Chemical Engineer who ignored politics for his family's well-being. My millennials friends, remember why these regulations exisit in the first place.
Good point. Are people going towearing seat belts just like the Anti-vaxxers refusal to get their children vaccinated?

This one is cute - directly from Microsoft and I quote> "However, high compatibility workbooks/projects can be achieved", as well as "There may well be a solution or workaround." Hozabout that? High compatibility is not compatibility, and workarounds are not compatibility. http://answers.microsoft.com/e...
And with Office 365 in particular http://answers.microsoft.com/e...
So anyhow there is about as much as I'm willing to do for you, coward. Any more, and do your own research Which of course is a non starter isn't it?
Right from Microsoft, they speak of it's issues. Take it up with them. Sparky.
Meantime, I'm using a suite that doesn't have those issues.
I don't know, I managed to beat the highway mileage for my Grand Marquis by 2 miles per gallon while traveling at a cruise control set 77 mph. I don't do real city driving but around town and country roads average 2 miles per gallon over the combined city/highway rating. I don't have the lead foot I had in my 20's and 30's anymore but I don't dawdle even though I no longer feel the need to launch at every light.
Yes - the difference between different drivers makes any idea that a person will buy a vehicle and get the exact mileage written on the sticker impossible.
I would hazard a guess that the type A people who probably have more agressive driving habits are also the people who would want to think there is an exact gas mileage figure that can be used.
In honor of Plagiarism Week, he was inadvertently quoting Heinlein: "There will be life on Mars."
Wrong quote attribution - that was Melania Trump who said that.
Time lag at postings of stories is sometimes causing problems with causality.
I think there are some serious problems with the story submission and approval process. Given that clickbait isn't going away, I would suggest that more stories be posted. I've seen some interesting and relevant stories languish, while the clickbait runs right through. But enough of that.
In any case the Apollo program seems to have been the pinnacle of human exploration of the solar system.
It was an amazing tour de force that miraculously was carried out in a few short years. And it is almost impossible to choose what was the most impressive innovation. Was it the balls to the wall power of the mighty Saturn V and it's incredible F1 engine. Or the guidance computer and it's almost incomprehensible programming method. And add to that list as you like, because there is so much ro be added.
There is a woman space historian, Amy Shira Teitel, who has a lot of interesting videos on youtube. A search shows a lot of vids she has made. A good concise communicator, who can pack a lot of information ito a few minutes, and as a side benefit, at least for me, is her voice and pronunciation is easy for these almost deaf ears to hear. She puts out new vids weekly.
After that we have been using robot probes with a lot less risk for human life but also a lot less challenges that could spawn new useful technology.
Two thoughts on that. We still are doing near earth work in space. We're just kinda used to it. It doesn't have the breathtaking aspects of the Apollo moon rocket launches, which for a little trivia, were the loudest man made sounds outside of nuclear explosions ever made. Must have been both thrilling and terrifying in the control center. during the launches. And the Russians took an inherently extremely dangerous action and reduced it to practice, which even if it isn't as exciting is every bit as important. The other thought is that the robotic stuff is very exciting, and most interesting, but really doesn't have the same thrill as the off planet human presence. And for myself, I believe the proponents of robotic only space research are missing an important point. They act as if every dollar spent on human spaceflight is stealing a dollar from robotic space exploration. But that really isn't the case. Space kooks such as myself support both aspects, robotic and human presence in space, but the human presence in space is our main thrust. So while I support defense department like funding (like that will happen) for both human and robotic exploration, without a human presence in space, that support drops to roughly 0. dollars.
Sure, it's not extremely accurate and is variable based upon the driver, but it is still reliable information for the consumer.
Which is why at base, I have a pretty good idea that a car with a higher sticker mpg will get better gas mieage than one with a lower sticker rating.
Still remember my dad installing seatbelts in 1957 Bel Air because he was an extremely intelligent Chemical Engineer who ignored politics for his family's well-being. My millennials friends, remember why these regulations exisit in the first place.
Good point. Are people going towearing seat belts just like the Anti-vaxxers refusal to get their children vaccinated?
