Sorry, but I couldn't let this pass because it's just entirely wrong. Successful companies are the ones who get tax breaks when deciding where to move or stay. They are the ones that grease the wheels in government to make sure they don't pay taxes, while less successful companies often still have to.
There is nothing wrong with going the experimental route when standard treatments have failed.
But if you are going to go the experimental route, joining one of the roughly 20 clinical trials for the same disease by top researchers in the U.S. is probably a better idea than going with some funky trial in Thailand.
She tried some wild crap in Thailand. Not exactly a place known for it's cutting edge science. There are a number of countries doing a lot of really good biology work. Thailand isn't one of them.
Meanwhile, back in the States, where the NIH spends $28+ Billion a year on research, on clinialtrials.gov you can look up her condition, lupus nephritis, and see that there are *19* different clinical trials recruiting patients right now for that disease.
She died of freedom of choice alright. Just not a very good choice.

Wow, that's really going to tell you about a players defensive skills, isn't it.
Not that those could possibly important in a game where usually only one or two balls make it to the net the whole game. I mean, it's not like defense would play much of a role there.
I think you are missing the reasoning. They already have a tool for it. WSUS server. It works great and they can roll out whatever patches they want, when ever they want easily.
A big corp may have thousands of in-house apps, or specialty apps. They need to test those against any new patches MS rolls out so the new patch doesn't break critical things and cause them mega dollars in downtime. If MS releases a patch Monday they start up their testing scheme, which may take a few weeks to run if they have thousands of apps. If MS releases another patch on Thursday (my Ubuntu boxes have patches constantly released, so it's not unreasonable), they have to start the whole cycle again, or have a second line of testing machines with another testing team running them. If MS releases patches every few days for their OS and apps , they'd need to have a dozen or more teams of testers and equipment which is a ton of money.
And they can't exactly just hold off on testing the patches until the first cycle is done. As soon as MS releases the patch, the bad guys immediately begin reverse engineering it to find out what it was they fixed. Then they make an exploit to take advantage of it and start hitting the net with it. Holding testing after the patches are released exposes them hugely to those security holes.
I hope you realize Patch Tuesday wasn't Microsoft's idea. Their big corporate clients asked/insisted for it. MS released patches (sometimes one day after the other) for decades until they the big corps pressured them into a monthly cycle to make the corps in house testing easier.
You first said worries of price fixing were along the lines of nutter conspiracy theories. When it was pointed out you were entirely wrong, suddenly you said the government would sue and fix everything. No admission you were totally wrong about what is and is not a valid concern vs crazed conspiracy theory.
Now you spout off that if price fixing was happening the government would already be suing the gas cartel. Here's another nugget you don't get. Proving those cases is hard without an insider willing to be a whistle blower. They can be doing all sorts of price fixing, with no provable case if they are smart and keep things quiet.
I don't think $1T in minerals is enough to justify an invasion and war alone, especially one that cost a significant fraction of that value, particularly if you look at the true cost of the conflict.
Of course it is. You see, you are assuming the same people profiting from the enterprise are the same ones footing the bill. The one's profiting will buddies of Bush and Cheney. Execs of Haliburton, etc, etc. The one's left holding the bill are the American citizens.
I'm complaining about the idiot that seemed to be stating worries about price fixing were crazy conspiracy nutter things.
Concerns about price fixing in the oil market are real.
Yeah, thinking that that oil conglomerates fix prices is a super nutty conspiracy thinking. I mean, it's not like giant companies like ADM have ever been involved in price fixing with their group of international competitors. Now, I may not be totally up on the matter, because I'm a geek and stick to tech news rather than business news, but I've never heard of price-fixing happening in real life and not just in conspiracy nutters ramblings.
The whole concept is just crazy. You are a wise man.
Apparently you aren't familiar with SQL injection. It almost always occurs the the SAME user database as the databases scripts use. And no one said it's the fault of the SQL language or database. SQL injection happens, almost always, because of bad app developers. In this case the ones designing and using the 3rd party scripts. Using well parametrized stored procedures in the RDBMS prevents it. Even if the web developers are idiots.
It certainly is SQL injection. A query was allowed to run which did bad things.
I run everything through well parametrized stored procedures. The webserver client isn't allowed to look directly at any tables, insert, delete, or do ANYTHING other than run those set stored procedures. No 'bad' queries are allowed to run on my server because of that.
These folks used an easy-to-use but insecure framework, and got the results that very often happen in that circumstance.
Nah, I'm sure they know there might be technical troubles which would take out the broadcast for a while. But it it's not up and broadcasting 72 hours later? Time to turn the keys....
Really? That's what you do? Ignore it all, continue and hope for the best?
That must be why oil companies all over the place are now making emergency containment vessels to place over their undersea wellheads.
Ignoring it was the wrong thing to do. It might be what YOU would do, but it's certainly not what I would do.
You have the preference wrong. It's not 'I enjoy working more than drinking beer'. It's 'Sitting around having a beer would be nice, but I prefer to work more so that I can get out of the crap high-crime neighborhood I live in, so that I can get my children into a safe area with decent schools'.
the incredible amount of lost time that issues like this cause.
You couldn't install any new apps for between 8-16 hours depending on where you live. Besides that minor inconvenience, all previously installed apps worked fine, and the phone worked fine. Incredible amount of lost time? Really?

I felt it in Cleveland Ohio, so it was definitely felt in the midwest. It didn't rattle anything, but I felt the building swaying a bit.
This is because of their mistake. They put the entire industry in bad standing.

A much better last resort.

Where what happened to her?
This system already exist. Perhaps you should read up on Phase I clinical trials.

Of course, you are calculating the huge deficits the country runs into those calculations as well. Right? Right? Thought not.

You are very much out of touch with reality.

Probably because most folks in the US have no idea how far 100km is. Liters they only know of because of pop/soda.

Probably why it was published in a non peer-reviewed journal. Zero chance it would pass peer review.
It normally raises before big driving holidays in the U.S..

The most likely root cause is an expired certificate. I'd hardly consider that an Achilles heel.
