If you have a borderline diabetic, he goes to the DR is told to exercise, eat better, and if need be given medicine. That has a cost no where near the alternative. He ends up losing toes, then limbs, then goes blind, then organs fail. You are talking about many major surgeries before he dies. Plus from the time he starts going blind or loses his first limb, whichever comes first, he is going to be on disability. Not only does that have a cost, but he has now gone from being a productive member of society to a burden. This means he is costing society not only his disability payments, but also what he would have been producing otherwise.
Bullshit, or she is an idiot. The hospital pays the malpractice insurance. The insurance companies pays the hospital not her, so their changes mean nothing to her.
Sounds great, for 18 years I went undiagnosed with a serious medical conditions. The impact to my health is now permanent, the perception many people have of my due to my ADD like symptoms in the past still has not changed 10 years later. 1 blood test found the problem. If I paid for it in cash it would have cost less than $200. Yet for 18 years I heard I was tired, or had too much stress, or was just depressed. No shit I was depressed, that was because of the medical problem. It fucking causes depression.
The minute we do what you are talking about my story will be very common. I would say 90% of doctors I have met could be better replaced with google and the ability for patients to order their own blood tests. They never follow up, they only order test as a last case and do nothing more than suggest the latest drug the pharma rep-whore just showed them. If that drug fails, they just try another. An expert-system on a PC would be better than them.
There are probably millions/hundreds of thousands willing to pay that price. Safety is not an issue for many. I am willing to take the same risk as a soyuz trip presents at that price.
Only because you are now in your 30s or 40s. People have been saying that crap since we have kept records. Let us remember Socrates was put to death for corrupting the youth.
There is not much maintenance on wind turbines these days. The environmental impact is damn low since the blades are honking huge so the birds avoid them.
300hp and only 20MPG? What overweight POS is that? Plenty of cars in that hp neighborhood doing ~25mpg, those generally also have usable suspensions and no 1940s style live axle either.
1. Ocean going vessels burn bunker oil 2. powerplants don't burn oil normally, that is the most expensive thing you could use coal and gas are far cheaper 3. plastic can be made from other sources, or more likely glass will make a comeback
Great, we can screw the workers what a wonderful plan. Here is another idea: 1. deal with the contracts you signed. I call that one personal responsibility, not popular with your kind I know 2. remove regulations forbidding rate increases 3. go to plugin-hybrid vehicles since most postal driving is stop and go. 4. combine offices 5. combine mail boxes into large sets of boxes, 1 per mile or so.
I assume you live outside the USA. I have lived both in EU nations and in the USA. In the USA everything is prepacked. Tomatoes come on styrofoam and wrapped in plastic or in a plastic box. Composting in the USA is very rare, and most people don't even recycle glass and plastic.
When an IT worker can tell her supervisor "No YOU do it!" and not be fired or an IT worked can email a supervisor saying something is "Bull Shite" (yes mispelled too) [we laugh and laugh about this one] and not get fired do to the union entrenchment perhaps you all can get a clue as to what USPS really faces..
I don't spell that poorly, but I do tell my boss to fuck off on a regular basis. I do call out bullshit when I see it as well. I am a valuable employee and as such my opinion matters. If an employee does their job well, the idea that you would fire them over that is pretty much insane and explains why they are so poorly motivated.

You are wrong and stupid.
If you have a borderline diabetic, he goes to the DR is told to exercise, eat better, and if need be given medicine. That has a cost no where near the alternative. He ends up losing toes, then limbs, then goes blind, then organs fail. You are talking about many major surgeries before he dies. Plus from the time he starts going blind or loses his first limb, whichever comes first, he is going to be on disability. Not only does that have a cost, but he has now gone from being a productive member of society to a burden. This means he is costing society not only his disability payments, but also what he would have been producing otherwise.
otherwise you might as well not have doctors at all and leave medicine to some giant, complex algorithm.
It would do a far better job.

Yet another reason to avoid C#. If I want a pointer to an object I will use that.
And assuming he used one of a decent length that is not a concern
but improved upon it with object-oriented pipes
Made more complicated does mean improved.

Tourism is a huge demand. You get it down to $10k and I will take a ticket right now. Lots of other folks would be buying at $100k.
No shit it is petroleum. The difference is you do not need light sweet crude to get it. We have plenty of the sour heavy stuff left.
So they have all this money to spend, but for some reason have to keep borrowing more and more?
So is there too much tax money collected or not enough? From what I see if they have to borrow that means not enough.

A mazda2 can be had for $10k or so, are you suggesting that larger cars are free?
300hp and only 20MPG?

Sounds great, gas will be cheap and we will have no roads on which to drive our cars. Any other genius ideas?
Go look up the word fungible. After that come back and talk to the grownups.

Kids can't vote so I don't believe you are correct on that one.
No it refers to actually increasing the hop count and telling your neighbors about it. You increase it to infinity, which is 16 in RIP.

GTFO!
This is what should be on slashdot, not stories about the latest iphone.
Just tell the Schizophrenics the hop count of their crazy idea is 16. Yet another problem solved with poison reverse.
