But if you cannot do it in person, then do not be a doctor
This doc screwed up by not asking someone who was there to handle it. Hospitals all have end of life counselors, clergy and social workers available to help.
Apple pays their dues. Al Gore had been paid tens of millions of dollars to be on their board of directors, Nancy Pelosi somehow come to own several million dollars worth of Apple stock, etc., etc.
60 Minutes is known for writing the story first, then going out and shooting some video to fill it out; they've been doing it that way for decades.
It's pretty clear here that the women who were interviewed didn't provide the required sound bites - they probably complained about ongoing discrimination instead of happy talk about all the wonderful opportunities girls have today. 60 Minutes has always pushed their political agenda; it's pretty clear that they didn't want to admit that initiatives which were started over two years ago aren't working...
Occasionally a region is hit hard by a decline in the industry that supported them (coal mining, automobile manufacturing, etc.), but despite the headlines, those are rare events and are solved by people moving away and finding work elsewhere. And sometimes the region recovers by finding another industry (e.g. Pittsburgh after the steel mills closed). Life goes on.
It isn't about individual differences, it's about systemic discrimination.
It's also in the company's interest to ensure employees feel they're treated fairly, otherwise they'll exercise their capitalist prerogative to leave and find another job.
If they could raise prices 3% with no consequences, they would have already done it.
The reason they can't raise prices without consequences is because of a thing called "competition". Yes, the giants don't have much competition, but their current price points are where each can compete best against the other giants. If everyone in the market gets hit with a 3% tax they can all adjust prices up 3% without consequences.
But wait, what if one doesn't raise prices? Wouldn't that give them a competitive advantage? No, because if that was true they would already have cut their prices.
Not just excess, but excess for which there is no better use (can't be stored, can't be exported, etc.). A regulation forcing the utility to spend that excess power converting CO2 to Carbon when better uses of the power are available is dumb.
In the U.S. one of our two major political parties represents a minority of voters but thanks to our voting system...
The popular vote is a poor measure of whether one of the other party has a majority of the electorate. It does measure how many votes were actually cast, but keep in mind that both California and New York were conceded to the Democrats before the campaign started. Trump wasted very little time or money in either state.
If the popular vote mattered, the end result would have been the same. How do we know that? Look at how the vote went for the House of Representatives - Republicans won. Or what if all states assigned electoral votes by proportion of popular vote? Trump would have campaigned for popular votes and won.
In other words, pointing out that Republicans lost a race they didn't try to win is nonsense.
Of course it requires a lot of energy. Converting CO2 back to Carbon and Oxygen would only be sensible if you had excess power (no demand and no way to store it). It's unlikely there would ever be enough extra energy available to sequester a significant amount of Carbon, but if there's no better use for the free energy...
Did you read that reply or just got triggered at mentioning of Russia?
Did you read his reply? Socialism essentially started with the French Revolution and Reign of Terror; Lavoisier was an intellectual and thus an enemy of the state.
Have you bothered to look at what incentives are available to everybody else? Some pretty sweet deals are available to businesses. Amazon was bigger than most but if you want to start a company in New York they'll be more than happy to help.

The economic value of any individual is exactly what they would be paid without any minimum wage
There's a major fallacy in your argument. Unless the individual actually does the work that they are paid to do, they have no economic value.
Working for minimum wage is one thing, being paid that wage without doing any work in return is something entirely different.

The guy was 78 years old, he would have been on Medicare for at least 13 years. That seems like plenty of time.
I'm betting on the latter, personally.
I'm betting one of the choices you left out: not enough profit means the business will close
In other words, he only cares about making money. Putting people in danger isn't a concern.

It must be good because it uses blockchain, although it's not at all clear why that matters to a social network.
Except blockchain was last year; he needs to figure out how it can use AI this year.
Nothing is being given away to the Chinese or anyone else. Companies are simply being prevented from leveraging their positions.
You don't see the contradiction in your statement? Smaller businesses can't compete with Chinese state-sponsored companies.

Researchers Are Training Image-Generating AI...
Story:
The solution might lie in an approach proposed by researchers at Google and ETH Zurich...
The researchers aren't training anything. They just hypothesized that it might be possible to use AI to train AI. Then their heads exploded.

Only if the dark-skinned person is running around naked at night.
I suspect the real hoarders are those who collect porn.
Is there no way to rebalance the Country?

The point of sending machines like this is to characterize the Martian environment so that by the time humans arrive
Reporter is interviewing an elderly farmer:
Q: Why do you keep plow horses?
A: I need to grow a crop of oats every year.
Q: And why do you need to raise a crop of oats every year?
A:To feed the plow horses

How efficient do you think people would be when the temperature is -100 F? Because that's summer on Mars.

Maybe China would be better off following Singapore's example. Transgressions like those described are punished by flogging.
