Consciousness is a convenient illusion to persuade you to stay alive. You probably will reject this statement without considering the evidence. I enjoyed "How the mind works" by Steven Pinker, a little old. Skip the computer chapter and you won't put it down. Suffice to say all it is, is game theory. You love your child, because if you didn't... it would not survive to love it's own...
Well the only parties that could have posted this story is... the politician, the employer and the... employee. So I guess the employee has chose the even more dangerous part of letting the media know which means he has probably royally screwed his court case and is going for the big kill.
40,000 is less than insuring a transformer but a transformer is insured against many things.
Now if it $6 of the insurance money is for insuring the transformer against massive solar flairs because never in the history of humanity has a transformer blown up by a solar flair, that is the price point they have to compete with.
That is the whole point of insurance. Technology solves a bunch of problems, insurance protects againts the rest of the problems not worth solving.
Otherwise we can spend $10000 per transformer to protect them from ants, $5000 from killer bees and on and on ad infinitum....
PS: The golden bit for an insurance sales man is to get money for things that don't happen... say... how much did you premiums go up for a terrorist attack ?
Here in Australia private insurance has to compete. All of them offer the exact same thing and many are a different front to the same company.
So the problem is how do you differentiate to get customers.
Well you offer... alternative medicine
Same goes for a Pharmacy/chemist... they al sell by law the same stuff. How do they differentiate... sell crap at a high markup and given you walk into a "respected" establishment the rest of the junk gets credibility.
So you have over the counter "medicine" in chemists which is just snake oil. You get "stone message" from health insurance companies.
OK Then, how about we dig a hole and grow them in there. There is zero gravity in the center of the earth. You want a 6th... well, how about we fill that hole 6th the way up.
Such a great achievement. The boundaries are pushed in so many areas such that there is little left one can push as an individual and get the "fastest" mark.
Most of Slashdot is discussing the relativistic merits of the added mass !!!
You havn't seen bulding go up. You don't place a brick render it, paint it hang a picture frame and go to the next one.
A multi story building has a myriad of things happening at the same time. If only computers were as parralel processing. If you have 100 or 1000 people working on a building, each is an independant process that shares resources.
It is simple, 8 core CPUs is a solution that arrived before the problem. A good 10 year old computers can do most of todays office work.
Can I keep my money safe on my front lawn ? There is a point where you have to prove you have invested a reasonable amount of effort to protect your slef. You can't ask the goverment to protect you when you have done your part.
There is a balance somehwere in between and depends on the society. In the US you are expected to bare arms. In japan you can use a paper door (point exadurated for dramatic effect)

tell you what, pluck your brain and put it in a blender. That should cure your of the non physical nature of your mind.
Alternatively read a little Steven Pinker

Cool, and they can use the salt to coat the inside of the pipes for shits and giggles

Biodegradable is a scam. You will still find meat on the bone of a chicken 50 years if you pack it in an anaerobic environment.
As for plastics there are thousands of different types. I doubt your liquid wood can cater for them in any reasonable percentage.
Finally basic energy savings come from minimising handling.
Simple, all you have to do is get it in the community that this anti-vaccine movement is a big pharma conspiracy.
What would big pharma want ? Solve a problem with a silver bullet a vaccine that is cheaply made ?
Or maybe "manage" a condition for ever ?
Sort of like what they do to Greenies when they are anti nuclear, the one technology with no emissions and able to solve global warming.

I live in Australia you insensitive clod. We drive on the left side which is the right side off course
Aaaa Lawyers ... sure, sell off bits to stay in the pay. Then they can keep feeding on the carcass.
I have a rule that I apply and it seems to work very well.
A good technical book is thin, often expensive with a fat index section.
Does not apply to reference books as they are an index of them selves
