Aerosmith would (an should) get eaten then. If you get a chance to see the special on the band Kansas, listen to what they have to say about Steven Tyler.
"Sure, cures can be a decent business model, but treatments are far better "
That all depends on the price of the cure, and the price of the treatment. A $50k cure beats a treatment that returns anything less over time (not counting anything here for inflation, or price changes). Also, with treatment, once you get off patent, you run into competition. Just look at the cost of generic Lipitor these days.
I don't see anywhere that he called it "obvious". Goldman is asking the question for the "obvious" reason...they, and all of their investors are in it for the ROI. If it wasn't sustainable, then it would never happen, now would it?
From your lack of knowledge I take it that current location is the US.
While the world is full of shit-hole countries Estonia isn't one of them.
From your lack of tact, I take it that you're from one of those elitist shit-holes that look down on everything from the US in spite of the fact that they have all their own issues.
Yeah, let me know when you get Putin, and Rocket Man to sign up to follow those rules. In the meantime, I'm not going to bury my head in the sand and pretend that we'll all be singing Kumbaya.
What i find limiting is that the use of "3 Laws Safe" is not being even considered. Battle should not be about increased KIAs. but about helping those that need help.
That only works if all sides play by that rule. If one side doesn't than the others lose.
Um, doubtful, at least in our lifetime. The amount of payload that it would require to 1.) identify "any radio signal"...unrealistic as there are radio signals everywhere. 2.) not only direction find that specific signal, but also geo-locate it for targeting...not a simple task requiring complex algorithms and hardware. And that's all assuming a stationary emitter. 3.) target the emitter for destruction in time before it moves. 4.) and let's not forget the payload requirements for said drone. How much does all of this equipment weigh? Answer: Currently, a lot, and that's not including the weapons. And drones simply don't have the ability to carry much, especially something that's not as large as a full scale UAV Reaper or Global Hawk, and even those could currently carry all this shit, much less do this activity autonomously.
" the Army describes how it's working to make a battlefield network of machines and humans a reality"
No, no it doesn't. This is a piece of shit paper that some random dork presented. White papers are presented to the military all the time...I've done one myself. That doesn't mean that this is the Army's doctrine, or that it will guide a single thing that they do.
The article doesn't present anything insightful, nor innovative. It's almost all Sci-Fi stuff that you'd see in random futuristic movies. Whoever is paying this dork's salary needs their head examined.
" Imagine that - leave the house with wet hair in freezing weather and it freezes. Ah, the things I learned in college."
Apparently, they don't teach you about hats. j/k
I grew up in MI, and typically walked 1/4 mile to the bus stop in the winter. If I didn't blow dry my hair after getting out of the shower, it would be frozen solid by the time I got to the bus stop.
So has Georgia actually passed a law that will effectively make the investigation of this ransomware attack illegal? That would be both stupid and highly amusing.
They don't know. All the laws were on the servers.
It's been quite a few years since I went through an ISO 9001 audit, but I recall thinking what a load of crap it was at the time. I'm no expert on it, but what I was told was that it's primary function was to verify that you followed your processes. But, it did nothing to ensure that those processes were worth a damn. Then, what the fuck good is it? Maybe I was mislead...I've never bothered to look it up.
I've had plenty of conversations with people who only knew what they heard on their favorite news channel. But, I think what we need is our own list of talking points. How do you describe, in layman's terms, why net neutrality is good? We should all be able to clearly state these points if we're ever going to turn this around.
The UK police state wants it cake and eats it too? Why the hell should he? Are they going to shut down FB over it? And really, why do you need the CEO to testify...he likely doesn't have all of the technical details.
I don't like this situation any more than anyone in the UK, but I'm not feeling very generous toward them allowing a UK citizen a free pass on hacking into American systems with no consequences. Sure, don't send them, but what's to stop other UK citizens from doing the same now?
I want law enforcement to have access. But only with a warrant. This should be treated no different that snail mail, as it's the private communications of individuals, but the system has managed to pervert that by claiming that there should be no expectation of privacy. THAT needs to be fixed.

His ass will be too sore to sit on.
This is a bit like internet pricing by zip codes. If they think you are higher income, they want to charge you more.
"We desperately need to stop abusing them"
FTFY

Let's, just for the sake of argument, say all of this is true. Why do you suppose everyone isn't throwing their spare change into big pharma stocks?

Don't exaggerate. Not every country.
Just the intersection of "has oil" and "complement of (has nukes)".
Oh, you mean like Vietnam, Korea, Grenada, Panama...
Actually, it's the Fed that decides. No legislative action needed.
Careful, Boss Hogg might have you boycotted.

Sounds like doing so would cause you to fry your own equipment if it's not on the other side of a continent or globe.

Well now, there's your answer to climate change, and rising oceans.
That's sarcasm, in case someone doesn't figure that out.
Imagine the cannons firing during the 1812 Overture. Or maybe some Beach Boys..."Good, Good, Good, good vibrations..."

"Unlike the U.S. the rest of the world knows a profit is not guaranteed, it must be earned by providing BENEFIT, not just market magic."
How's that working for the Takata airbag scandal?
How about Sony root kits?
What about VW emission's?
There are tons of examples, so take your US sucks agenda and cram it.
