    profits come out of Amazon pockets. To lower healthcare cost you have to remove the profit and the overhead.

The question you need to ask yourself if humans can go from a hunter/gathering tribe to civilization is 13,000 yrs like they did in America what have humans been doing for 200,000 yrs and more. Something is wrong.

  10. So how will the Chinese react to this? on Trump Administration Approves Tariffs of 30 Percent On Imported Solar Panels (axios.com) · · Score: 1

  19. Physics. on Ask Slashdot: Why Are There No Huge Leaps Forward In CPU/GPU Power? · · Score: 1

    We are at the end of what CMOS on silicon can deliver. Something new is need but no one has had the nerve to commit to finding it. Because you will have to risk billions and you may never find the solution. Small steps instead of giant leaps because you don't know where you are leaping to.

  23. As bad as the interview process is the Resume on Programmers Are Confessing Their Coding Sins To Protest a Broken Job Interview Process (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    process is even worse. Many large companies pro grammatically review resumes looking for the mention of skills listed in their job requirements. The job requirements list 50 different skills as required and the expectation is that the resume will also list those same skills. Well, I am an experience programmers and I don't have 50 skills and I doubt anyone does. So now only people willing to lie on their resumes get job interviews. That is ridiculous.
