The law in many western countries typically requires that drivers insure their cars in order to drive on public roads...
You are correct, but I know that I was told by my Allstate rep that Allstate would NOT cover anything while driving for Uber. That is, your personal driving was fine. But if you tell him you were driving for Uber during your accident, it's all on you.
They may have changed this, but as of a year ago, this was the case.
I used to work writing EMR software. I won't name names, but if you have been in the medical field for a long time, you would know this system. I have a Masters in Software Engineering, but also a BSN. My sole purpose for making the switch was because I wanted an EMR system that everyone could not just use, but also positively impact fellow professionals.
We once wrote a prototype EMR system that BLEW THE SOCKS off of med professional who saw it. It was fricking amazing. EVERYONE loved this thing, saying things, "This is exactly what we need!". However, we eventually demoed it hospital administrators who not just said "Meh..." they said it would mean they'd have to retrain everyone so, no, they'd keep the old shitty system." I left within 3 months.
This is very reminiscent of the Microsoft / Windows / Internet Explorer monopoly / anti-trust arguments. "Microsoft doesn't have a monopoly, you're free to buy an Apple computer... Or install Firefox." Not the same, of course. Apple doesn't tie the app store to it's OS. Although, since you can only use the App Store on an iPhone, it doesn't have to be tied to the OS.
Attached is a small article on the US. vs. Microsoft. It's amazing the similarities. And we know how the court ruled.
Redundantly, at the risk of being redundant, there is concern over a lack of men in nursing. Men are especially valued specializations requiring heavy lifting (traditionally, post-op orthopaedic floors, rehab, some medical floors). There isn't nearly as many resources being put to men in nursing as there seems to be women going into "Computer Science." I put quotes on that, since many of the 'civilians' I talk to think Computer Science is one and the same as web and 'app' development.
Microsoft has pushed in the next-to-be-released version of.NET all of the libraries to support the Microsoft technologies running on Linux or Mac. If this is true, then Microsoft can't really charge for core pricing / cpu pricing on operating systems / database platforms that it doesn't own.
It's not just.NET. It's the.NET compiler. ASP.NET. ASP.NET MVC. The Entity Framework..NET Core Runtime libraries. This stuff is the heart of Microsoft development. And it's all open-source. And, they are providing support for cross-platform development on Mac and Linux. The Visual Studio Community edition is free (free as in beer).
People can be skeptical to be skeptical, but, as you eluded to, this is not the Microsoft of old. As some of my friends have said, "Haters gonna hate..." And some things won't change.
How is scientology any less of a religion than christianity or islam or mormons or any other belief system? If its ok for christians, it should be ok for scientologists, or it should be not ok for anyone to have tax exempt status.
Why you shouldn't consider Scientology a religion and Christianity, Jews, etc. are religions.
Just look at names of the prophets..
* Jesus Christ - that's a real prophet's name.
* Moses - sounds like a real prophet to me, too.
* Buddha - Definitely a prophet.
* Mohammed - Yep, sounds good to me.
* L. Ron Hubbard - Nope.. No way that's a prophet's name.. Hubbard? Come on..
* Joe Smith - ok, now you're pushing it.. No prophet would ever be named Joe.
Sorry - I disagree with your statement that antibiotics cause more harm than good. If you look at what health and medicine was prior to antibiotic usage and after, it's night and day. I think most rational people would take a world with antibiotics (even with the adverse effects and resistance that is going on) than nothing at all. Surgeries are much safer, less amputations are needed with infected limbs, etc.
I say this as someone who's son had a life-threatening illness that was brought about by antibiotics.
Seriously, can you imagine a world without antibiotics??? (slightly off-topic, I think we'll find out eventually, with resistance becoming what it is.
No conclusions about the effectiveness of the Gerson therapy, either as an adjuvant to other cancer therapies or as a cure, can be drawn from any of the studies reported above.
So if you want to link to a study showing how effective this therapy is, the above link is NOT the one to use. Find one with confirmation of the results in a fairly large, repeatable study.
We've been asking for years now (decades, even) for Microsoft to become more open. Regardless of their motivation, this kind of behavior should be encouraged, rather than ridiculed. To my knowledge, none of the other platforms they've open sourced has 'taken back' by them, as some conspiracy theorists have anticipated. While I'm under no illusion that Office or Windows will ever be open sourced, I'm very happy that much of their other platforms are becoming more open and hope they continue to do so.
Ordinarily, I wouldn't respond to an AC.. But, Ebola HAS mutated into an airborne form in the past. Look at some non-recent (as in, non-edited) posts about Ebola Reston. As I recall, it was an airborne strain of Ebola. Fortunately, when it mutated into an airborne form, it was no longer infectious in humans.
America borrows most of it's money from itself. The USA is the largest purchaser of it's bonds. As i understand it, The Social Security Administration buys T-Bills / T-Notes because of it's safety. We're borrowing from ourselves. For better or worse. Mostly, worse.
I didn't realize the.NET bubble popped. In the mid-atlantic area, there are a lot of people looking for SEASONED.NET Developers, commanding 6 figure salaries. I know the start-up community shies away from.NET (which is an understatement), but the corporate world has a lot of use for.NET, and appears to do so for the time being.
Yes, I agree with this. But, at some point, investors need to get a return on their investment: it's what they asked for and it is required by law. The have never paid a dividend (as far as I can tell), and so their stock price is the only real way to get a return on the investment. At what point does "avoiding short-term profits for long term gains" become a losing bet? When does "long term" happen? That's what investors want to know.
As a software engineer who is often asked to consider "the cloud," at what point should things like poor company performance impact software design decisions? It's easy to say not to use the cloud, but the cost savings for some make it irresistible. I suppose at some point AWS might go away due to a CEO change, corporate shift, etc., but I have a feeling that, with all of the consumer services using AWS, it will be considered "too big to fail," and be required to stay up (and, therefore, I won't have any reason to consider AMZN's performance as a software design concern.

However, White House officials believe tech workers are willing to "put politics aside."
As partisan as our current political climate is, the idea of people putting politics aside is optimistic at best.....

Siri uses Bing in the backend. With this, they will work to become "King of Search" without Cortana's help.

Mod parent up... If I hadn't already have posted, I'd do it myself. An excellent question for doctors.

Your mileage may vary.
Great. I get marked a "Troll" for trolling my own post..

Besides poor punctuation, missing end parenthesis, and way too many commas.

I believe defragging is completely automated at this point (since Windows 7) - no button press needed (but you can do it, if you want too).
