If that's what you think a tragedy is, then you've lived a waaaaaay too sheltered life.
A person without a dream is mundane.
But hell, maybe mundane people just have mundane dreams. If a guy is feeding his family and keeping a roof over their heads, then I see nothing wrong with his highest dream being to buy a little old house in an older suburb.
They take a sample from every herd, because even if it would only add $0.01/lb of beef, would there actually be time to analyze all 33M slaughtered head of beef every year?
It'd raise the price of beef 1 cent per pound to test every cow slaughtered,
Wow... you're a deluded idiot. From TFA, which you obviously did not read: A U.S.D.A. surveillance program tests brain tissue taken from about 40,000 dead cows a year for BSE.
Also from the article: Another key part of the U.S. food safety net is to make sure that animal tissues that can carry BSE - including the brain and spinal cord - are removed from cattle before they're processed for food.
Not only are you a deluded idiot, but you're too stupid to do the barest of study:
It's easy to say there's no concerns when it can take 30yrs to manifest
Which is more important: who invents "it", or who -- like the English, Germans & Americans -- makes it better, stronger faster?
IOW, one culture invents it, and then does nothing with the idea except make noise on New Year's Day, and the other culture improves and improves and improves on it until they use it to reach the moon, and launch satellites on a regular basis.
Why? The US (where SpaceX "lives") is in the... West. On the other side of Africa.
Tanzania (better yet, Kenya, and even better: Northern Australia -- Darwin, for example) would be a good place for an eastern hemisphere country -- China or Japan -- to launch their rockets.
the Department of Energy slips out of agreements in the Tri-Party Agreement."
This is why socio-political conservatives don't trust Government to solve problems. Similarly, that same slipperiness is why socio-political liberals don't trust Business.
Strange concept relating to NOT HAVING SO MANY F***ING GUNS.
Why do so few people have guns in Europe, Japan, China? Because they're the descendants of peasants who willingly kowtowed when their monarchs said "you're not allowed to have guns".
Invent a DNA-manipulating machine, jump in the (original) Way Back Machine *with* the DNA-manipulating machine. Travel back to the origin of class Mammalia, and fiddle with all the bits of DNA that cause males to be on average relatively bigger and relatively more aggressive, while females are on average relatively smaller and relatively more nurturing.
Of course, then we wouldn't exist (the changes would be so great and so ancient that Mammalia would be *radically* different), but that's ok, because we're evil planet-rapers anyway.
Seriously, though: find me a culture, any culture, where the males are feminized, and I'll show you a not very successful culture.

How is it different?
What -- specifically -- "WASP" idea am I spreading?
A person without a dream is a tragedy unfolding.

Anyway, beef has been big business in the US for a long time. Why is (according to the Minnesota Dept of Health) the disease rate still 1/1,000,000 per year? http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/idepc/diseases/cjd/cjd.html

Most victims die six months after initial symptoms appear, often of pneumonia due to impaired coughing reflexes. About 15% of patients survive for two or more years.[12] Some patients have been known to live 4â"5 years with mostly psychological symptoms until the disease progresses causing more physical symptoms leading to a diagnosis and inevitable death usually within the first year of diagnosis.
That's a joke, right?
bigoted horn tooting
Seeing as how my ancestors are mostly Spanish, Norwegian, French & Scots-Irish, there's not actually much bigoted horn tooting.
Isn't the rocket technically a Chinese invention?

Why does he deserve it? Just because he's "good"?
with a large ocean to the East?
Yes, it is silly.
Why? The US (where SpaceX "lives") is in the... West. On the other side of Africa.
Tanzania (better yet, Kenya, and even better: Northern Australia -- Darwin, for example) would be a good place for an eastern hemisphere country -- China or Japan -- to launch their rockets.
before making such a silly suggestion?
I think you missed the point.
No, you missed the point that I'm not going to call Caltech every time my cat does something a bit weird. Neither are most other people.
a hotline in the 1980's for people to report anomalous animal behavior
The problem is that anomalous is such a vague word. I'm not going to call the University every time my cat does something a bit odd.
(I'm from the South, and it's already hot enough) I have no problem Intel flogging their kit to car manufacturers.
That's a lot like the EITC.
School. Go back. Now!
Me neither.. not a word of contact.
It's there when I logged in on Saturday morning.
The researchers are Australian, not the firefighters.
Don't the researchers have any firefighting experience?

I trust my wife, but that's about it...
As versioning goes, FILES-11 was barely good enough to be called built in un-delete.
Mainly because -- in my 25 years using FILES-11 -- I've never heard of versioning called "undelete".
"Persistent undo" is the best term to describe going back to a prior file version.
what I think of when someone writes "versioning filesystem".

does that mean that Nick Rahall is just an idiot for thinking that Net Neutrality is a bad idea?
So explain why there were more women in CS back in the 70s, 80s and 90s.
What in the hell does this have to do with what I wrote?
