if there is such a difference of incentives between US doctors and, say, Canadian doctors, then i find it hard to believe that that is the root cause of the problem. rather, i think it's probably much more of a consequence.
unless you're really awesome, and patent something that ends up earning you millions. it's happened before, but unfortunately for me it's pretty rare in CS.
Thank goodness for my linux box and synths that can play a nice loud PSHHHHHHTTTT sound, brown or pink as you like it. (Had to work linux in there somehow)
does anyone know if this dude can get payback legally in any form? (and by payback i mean something like getting the entire police force fired or something...)
well, i was just talking about the driver. but of course you're right. and i'm sure insurance companies have fine-tuned a lot of AI to calculate that stuff pretty well.
let's just stick a gps chip in everybody's skull, make its location publicly available, and be done with the whole privacy thing. then we wouldn't have to spend so much time worrying about it.
well, i think there are 2 parameters to get a complete picture or risk - time spent driving, and ability. the problem is that ability depends on time spent driving, among other things. it's like a messy bayes net, only worse.
well, it's true. recently some linux distros have become more mainstream, but in the older days (mid-90's until a few years ago) pretty much the only os other than windows that a consumer (or relatively small business) could just pop in and use was mac, which comes bundled with its own hardware...
i see you've put quite a bit of thought into this. maybe we should meet up to, you know, compare notes? we might make more progress working together...

I'm all for sacrificing virgins, as long as you get a whore back...
Thou shalt not question His patches, for they are always just. And yes, I am talking about Microsoft.
I have this theory that if there was an Asian-American Republican, he'd have a soul. Double negative, you know.
