I want to chime in for uBlock. I used ABP for a long time then switched to uBlock a few months ago. It filters equally well and seems to live up to its promise of being faster/smaller. Recommended.
Okay, sounds good! Come work where I work and maybe someday you can find a bug to fix. So far, sucking has resulted in no memory leaks, but maybe it will someday.
I haven't had a consistent doctor but I've been reminded by almost every doctor to get re-ups on my vaccines. Like changing oil on a car, if it's a 20-year vaccine then it's not too hard to guess when people need them. If a 25-year-old walks into the office, it's probably time. If a 45-year-old walks in, it's probably time again. This is how it's seemed to work for me.
How much does a doctor earn for giving a flu shot? The cost is $20 cash (at the local drug store) so their profit must be less than $20, probably less than $5. I've never understood that criticism (which you didn't make, but I've heard a lot). Vaccination is the opposite of the profit motive; doctors would make WAY more treating sick people than giving vaccines.
I've never understood this and I've never had anyone be able to explain it to me. What the heck could the difference between "personal beliefs" (or "philosophical") and "religion" possibly be? To me that means exactly the same thing. What would stop people from saying "Okay, fine, my religion is to not vaccinate my kids"?
Yeah but practically all of the anti-vax people are fully vaccinated, because they had parents who weren't asshats. Darwinism wouldn't weed out the right individuals, although it would weed out their genetic lineages.
Today I had someone arguing that circumcision causes autism (I know, I know, but they said it). I told them circ rates are declining while autism rates are apparently rising. They said "Correlation does not imply causation!" and I scratched my head before saying "Yeah, but causation does imply correlation". They then went to special pleading, so I considered the point won.
"unless you set a 20 year alarm so you never forget a booster shot! "
So, go see a doctor at least four times during my adult life? That's a standard that I can meet. When you see a doctor, they check your immuno records. For those who don't currently see a doctor once every five Presidential terms, let's find a way to get them more medical care.
Yeah yeah. Certainly a good programmer who writes perfect code with faultless discipline can write C++ code with no memory leaks. I totally agree. But that is the rare case, not the common case. Or, at least, memory leaks are fairly common in C code. Memory leaks in C++ were the #1 most famous kind of bug. Memory leaks in Java are so rare that I can only think of one in fifteen years of programming -- and that one was long ago due to circular data structures which today are garbage collected.
The original claim was it's actually *easier* in Java/C# to leak memory which I claim is plainly wrong.
If I 'never think about it' in C++, my memory will explode in no time. If I 'never think about it' in Java, then maybe in some cases eventually my memory might explode, perhaps. That's not what 'easier to leak in Java' means to me.
I see what you are saying but personally I'm careful when comparing situations to slavery. There is no work situation where you are paid and have the freedom to quit -- even with hardship -- which is tantamount to slavery.
What this is, is a shitty work situation. Not all shitty work situations are 'actually slavery', even hyperbolicly.
I don't know. Does Finland have a lot of spy satellites?
I looked it up and found this on Wikipedia: Finland's Aalto-1 Cusesat-satellite (3U) with solar panels is a funded by student nano-satellite project of Aalto University and Finnish Meteorological Institute [2]. When launched (plan was to 2013), it would be the first Finnish satellite. Launch has been procured for the summer 2015.
Business majors got ahold of the company. I'm not kidding; I think most of what is wrong with worldwide business is because of American business school ideology.

Right right, I'm not trying to say you made the claim, but my response is to Cramer's statement: it's actually *easier* in Java/C# to leak memory.

Did you mean to reply to me? I'm a little confused by what you said. I can't connect my comment to your reply.
Yeah but practically all of the anti-vax people are fully vaccinated, because they had parents who weren't asshats. Darwinism wouldn't weed out the right individuals, although it would weed out their genetic lineages.
"then your only rational choice"
Aha, and therein lies the problem.
Awesome. Well done.

Your mom's womb is pretty darn sterile.
You've obviously never met his mom.

Do the antivax people have a thing with Jews?
Also: Today someone told me that circumcision causes autism. I laughed but they were serious.
good cite
You can't be serious.

"Short term"? I guess so, for some very large values of "short".
But there is no such thing as a free market. Yet most people still agree that competition helps drive [pun] the economy.
