preserving one life, or preserving several.
I don't suppose any of these decisions are easy, but how many people die every year due to a lack of an available organ? How many people do we keep alive for a few days, or a few hours just for the benefit of their families emotional state (which is a product of a culture we created), and in the process wreck their organs?...
We keep people alive, when they aren't able to live, and we treat the absolute maximum survivability of one individual as paramount over the reasonable survivability of many. It's an emotional allocation of resources, not an efficient one. Whether it's healthcare dollars or peoples organs, they are in truth, resources which can be, and are managed. The goal is to manage them efficiently. That needs to combine the people, and actual experts, who are removed from the emotional realities of the situation.
"Efficient" approaches to managing human life have a bad history. I fully support the right of someone to do whatever they want with their own body. But allowing "experts" who are "removed from the emotional realities" to decide life-and-death matters of myself and my family is beyond dangerous.
There are other methods of making payments automatically.
In my case, all my payments are automated, but they are automated by pushing to those owed, not allowing them to pull.
By doing this I am not in danger of too much ever being taken out.
The costs that do differ from month to month (and thus can't be automated entirely) I pay online with a few clicks every month.
There is no need to write and send checks by hand with today's technology.
With its default blue bars and grassy hill default background, we call it the "Teletubby" theme.
At any moment you expect to see a little guy come rolling into the screen.
This needs the "whatcouldpossiblygowrong" tag.
Just think: we'll hire a former hacker inmate to program the jail's robo-security and before you know it we'll have a new Terminator movie on our hands.
I have a new test for a vaccine that prevents car accidents!
I'll inject 8,000 people with a placebo, and I'll inject my vaccine into another 8,000.
There's a reasonably probability that the half with the "real" vaccine will have less car accidents, thus showing progress in my vaccine!
TLDR: Vaccine trials are useless without infecting people.
I, for one, welcome our new Solar-Powered Microbot Overlords.
"Locomotion is achieved via three vibrating legs, while a fourth horizontal vibrating leg is used as a touch sensor."
I'm sure these will be successful in at least one market.
Its funny, as soon as the car warranty scammers stopped calling last month, I now get robocalls for some cheapo health care ripoff. On my cell, on the do not call list. So it begins again.....
That's a scammer, that's your local Democratic representative.

Stuttgart = Porsche
Ingolstadt = Audi
Personally, I would be a Stuttgart driver... if I had the cash.
I don't mean to rub it in, but I think the word is 'scores'.
If I were a pirate, I would totally buy one of these. Disabling a ship for 45 minutes is a great way to catch and board it.

Fixed that for you.
