  1. and if the government was able to do it by only affecting latency by ms so it took a gamer to notice, why would they then do it by slowing his connection by a factor of 20?

    Where have you been for the past decade? User data is always the monetization strategy when you provide a 'free' service. Any student of humanity will know humans are built to share (with those they see fit)! Provide them a simple means to do that and instant data glory.

    Different perspectives have different nomenclature and/or different definitions for the same things/words. The perspectives are readily apparent.. for those aware of them! What is not so apparent is how the concepts from different perspectives colide to produce anything sensible and pertinent to reality. However, this is a post and not a book and so I have no choice. Doesn't really matter since language is but a small part of the ability to recognise truth.

    Do you have reading comprehension problems? It's about whether the person knew the recipient was in an unsafe environment.

    Let's say you see your friend crossing the street and a big mac truck bearing down on her. If you holler her name from her 5, forcing her to stop and turn her view away from danger and towards you, then yes, you're an idiot and should be blamed.

    I know it's hard for a lot of the whiny babies to understand, but eventually we all have to accept responsability for everything we've played a part in.

    Perhaps the problem is people like you? Instagram is for the masses, medical industry interop tools are not. It's all about size of the potential customer base to collect valuable data to sell. It has nothing to do with whether the programs have any 'use' but whether the programs can attract users as data points. Ever hear of a venture capitalist looking to make the world a better place instead of making money?

    Not everything has been documented! ;) Though the history of mankind using whatever means possible, whether it be science, religion, or the original brute force, to control others shows a trend that hasn't stopped since the dawn of man. You know, like using 'science' to control the food supply and eradicate independence.

    Yeah, unfortunately they do.

    I don't even know how they could have given me 5 shots. You would think that at the very least as soon as the person was notating the fourth vaccine in my health booklet they would have noticed I already had all 3 and cancelled the appointment for the fifth! The only thing I can conceive of is a stupidity so great that thought that since I reacted badly, i.e., pneumonia, inflamation, fever,etc..., to the vaccines that they had to keep giving them until I didn't! ..though protocol states they shouldn't have given any further ones, perhaps bad translation?

    Though to be honest, a 25% participation rate isn't anything horrible, in fact, has any XPrize had more participation from established companies? You have to bet against future profits as well. If the current standard is $5000, a 5x reduction in price should make you incredibly attractive to anyone looking to sequence. The XPrize people are just being dicks towards those who have outlayed cash to try and accomplish this.
