It's not like its just Yahoo or a couple of other companies. This is a unilateral trend across all the media.
You can say that again. The PC culture, or SJW culture, or whatever you want to call it, is probably going to end up destroying itself sooner or later though:
Nobody, not even the BLM movement itself, actually cares about a black life unless it involves a cop, (something Al Sharpton proved) so I think they're probably going to get their wish as soon as the current generation of police officers retire. It will be interesting to watch, from a distance, (we don't have this problem in Arizona, thankfully) what happens when their ideas about societies without police come to fruition.
I didn't say give them a free pass. What I'm saying is that if they were sued out of existence, that would suck for a LOT of people first of all, second of all, it's interesting how of all parties involved in this, you choose to blame the victim the most.
Besides, with how the industry works, Banner will very likely see a fine in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Just a few weeks ago another hospital got fined 10 million just for having an unsecured wifi that didn't even connect to their internal network, and no data loss or breach had otherwise occurred, so you can see how ruthless club fed is in this department. I work in IT for a health care company (not Banner, if you must ask) myself, and in spite of your best efforts even following all of the best protocols and standards, zero days happen and careless janitors and other necessary but not necessarily mindful employees happen. When you're in any kind of large 1000+ employee company, your armor is quite vast, and all it takes is a little tiny chink.
We keep seeing companies losing the highly private health data of millions of people. At this point, in my opinion, the only thing that will stop this is a couple of high-profile companies getting successfully sued or fined out of existence. If companies see the most likely punishment as a small slap on the wrist with little chance of getting caught in the first place, then they'll continue to be sloppy with medical records and other similarly private data. If a couple of dozen insurance companies went Chapter 7 overnight, that would serve as sufficient warning to others that this sort of nonsense will not be tolerated, and the others would be forced to pay attention and take security and privacy seriously.
Now that you're done with your call to have warning signs written in their blood with accompanying heads on a pike in order to form a lynch mob that you will so gloriously lead and people will forever hail your name, somebody should mention that Banner isn't exactly a wall-street darling since it's a non-profit organization. Furthermore if they were fined or otherwise sued out of existence, it would kind of suck for people like me who are presently listed for organ transplant through them, in addition to those receiving services through their local MD Anderson branch and other chronic care facilities.
Just because it's a pistol grip doesn't mean you can extend it with one hand for any prolonged period. It's a shotgun, not a nerf bat. Besides, Arnold played a T-800.
In other words, you're telling me that all of these things realistically happen at the exact same time:
- Brandishing a shotgun (a SHOTGUN, not a pistol) while having it presumably pointed as if somewhat aiming - Browsing facebook long enough to read these posts (while holding the shotgun)
(This must also assume that she's ambidextrous or at least in an insanely awkward position.) - Having the police in your line of sight - Having the police ignore their training and not pre-emptively neutralizing the threat
I don't even think Hollywood would come up with this shit. That's also very far removed from driving, kayaking, or skydiving. Think about it for a minute, unless of course you have never actually held a shotgun before with one hand.
Were they telling her to attack the cops or were they telling her to simply not comply? It does make a difference. In either case, there was nothing compelling her to do what she did other than maybe her own stupidity.
I remember going with OpenOffice for the first time because it loaded very quickly compared to ms office. I switched back because the opposite later became true. Has libreoffice fixed the slow load times?
I'd actually prefer a really nice web driven office suite that runs locally however. Something to the effect of having a daemon running on my NAS along with sickrage, couchpotato, and rtorrent.
I am a self confessed troll as I troll somewhat often. That said, I prefer the term "underpass", as in "an underpass of trolls". As for my intended marks, I refer their group as a "trip", for more than one reason.
Ahh, the standard whine of insecure conservatives immediately before or after they say something idiotic.
My post has nothing to do with being conservative, being liberal, being left, or being right (I don't identify with any of these things, by the way.) It just goes to show that maybe, just maybe, your starry ideas about a perfect world probably aren't as perfect as you think they are.
TV resolutions and audio channel count have now jumped the shark. This is clearly about "bigger numbers are better" at this point. Who in Japan has 90" televisions that could possibly make use of that resolution? Seriously, isn't that what digital movie projectors use?
Probably because NHK's reasoning behind this makes perfect sense: 4K resolution will be pretty short lived, but 8K resolution will be around for a very long time. Why? Because once you hit 8K, you've pretty much maxed out what a home user will ever need, and the reason I say "ever need" is because the typical size of a home television will have pixels almost smaller than the naked eye can see even if one were to glue their forehead right to the screen. 4K, not so much.
And personally, I've been saying this all along. We're so close to maxing shit out that why did we just stop at 4K only to replace everything with 8K only 5 years later? Retarded. This is just something TV manufacturers want so that they can sell more TVs and set top boxes now and then once 8K comes, they can sell more TVs and set top boxes again. Sure, somebody could always shout "16K!" and that might be useful for a studio master, but only to be downscaled to 8k in order to yield a superior 8k picture, similar to how most 1080p content is 4k downscaled in order to make a better picture.
As for bandwidth, gigabit home connections are becoming a thing lately, and this is a perfect application for that once that ~5 year span passes and even more people have gig to the home. You could probably fit about 10 8k broadcasts through that kind of pipe simultaneously with some future codec (h.266 anybody?) Perfect application for IPTV multicasting as well because cable and satellite will likely never have enough bandwidth for it given they're a broadcast medium and all.
No, progressive has always meant "I'm smarter than everybody else in the world and therefore my political opinions bring about progress, and anybody who disagrees with me on any subject at all is wrong just because of the fact that they aren't as smart as me."
As I've mentioned before, progressive is a label that many groups have applied to themselves in the past, including (but not limited to) prohibitionists and Nazis.
Meanwhile, the people without the connections to try until they stop breaking shit (or more typically, until they hire people that tell them to fuck off and enjoy the money while not breaking shit) never get the chance to make the attempt.
If you need more bridges, then simply create new ones. Lots of founders of big companies did exactly that from basically nothing.
With all due respect to the scientific progress we are making, all we can cure of disease and injury we haven't even scratched the surface on reversing aging.
It's not at all a matter of reversing aging. Every cell in every organ eventually stops dividing at a fast enough rate to sustain itself. Your skin, which is an organ, tends to be the easiest to observe doing this. However there's no reason why they MUST slow down, they just do because of the way our telomeres work (which may be an evolutionary response to cancer. Plants, which also get cancer, never die from it, which may be why they live much longer than animals.)
Likewise, if you can cause your cells to continue dividing at the rate they do when you've reached your peak growth, even when you're older you'll likely regain a youthful appearance. But you didn't reverse aging; that is, your body is still older, even though it doesn't look or behave like an older body normally would.
You'll also need to be able to figure out a way to regrow damaged or lost tissue; for example being able to regrow an amputated limb. Some species of animals have an inherent ability to do this, in addition to humans having a similar trait at a very young age (sometimes kids as old as 10 can completely regrow the tip of their finger if at least some of the nail is intact. Mice can do this as well for their entire palm, even when they're old in some cases.)
Its called "silicon valley". Failure is considered something good there. If you fail, you learn how to build a bigger and better unicorn.
Every successful person has had some big failures before they succeeded, and for every successful company there are multiple failed ones. It's neither good nor bad, it's just life.
As for Theranos...Well, let's just say that I work for one of their competitors, and what I know about this business is that there are routine audits by the FDA to send your lab a test sample, and you have to report back what you found in it given the test parameters that they gave to you. When given one of these samples, you can't speak to other labs about them or do anything that might give you any kind of hint of what the lab result should be, and you report back the findings just like you would with a regular patient lab specimen. If it doesn't fall within a specified range the FDA will notify you and you'll probably have to re-calibrate your equipment, and if it's way out of range then you'll probably get fined somewhere in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
Or something to that effect. I work in the lab's IT department so I don't know the exact process.
My question is: Did the FDA properly audit Theranos, and if not, why? From what I understand, this wasn't found out until some doctor saw his patient's results and questioned it, and then it got blown wide open from there. It shouldn't have even made it to that point really.

Have you seen the size of her ass? That aint no lie son.
The LHC exists for an evil purpose and must be stopped before Satan and his demons are released back into the world to torment mankind.
You're too late you fool; Hillary already won the nomination, so the LHC's mission is already complete.
You're right. And conveniently nobody has ever seen your brain before, so that can only mean one thing.

"Attack" and "not comply" are the same damn thing when you a pointing a gun at officers.
So you're telling me that she was reading facebook while pointing a gun at police? Interesting, but I doubt it.
Were they telling her to attack the cops or were they telling her to simply not comply? It does make a difference. In either case, there was nothing compelling her to do what she did other than maybe her own stupidity.
There's that, and I am curious how they're collecting sales taxes from Netflix given that Netflix likely doesn't have a presence there.
Yes, but as an anonymous coward, you are nobody in particular.

Yes, because augmented reality with a field of view big enough to remind you of peeping through a drinking straw is totally worth $1,500.
