more accurate than simply dumping the drug Du jour into people ?
There are researchers that have observed eye movement information since the 60's; the fact that the work of people like Silvan S. Tomkins is ignored and instead we use drugs to treat and diagnoses to support a massive and ineffective drug economy is what's (very old) news.
People don't need to be constantly drugged, they need social interaction that facilitates their own innate abilities to adapt and heal.
...and I don't just mean the technical aspects, what I'm talking about is how the technical information to make the project work being spread across multiple organizations that do not necessarily share information much less have systems and methods in place for inter-agency cooperation. You can't come up with an adequate analogy between this project and any others, because there haven't been any similarly complex projects.
Yes, it feels good to bitch about how incompetent "the government" is, but THAT dialogue is always about a political agenda, and not a factually descriptive language.
When you rush a project and dump money into it your results are as expected. No political agenda and deceptions necessary.
from responding to trolls and incitement, this would be a non-issue.
A really shitty book by a really shitty psychologist that can not even manage to ask an intelligent question or provide any insight is not really news. It's just business as usual.
Why do people get suckered into having meaningless non-discussion with strangers high on outrage is a far more fascinating question.
Trolls have zero impact on people that just don't care what some anonymous stranger has to say about anything. In the real world, the context of who is saying what is as significant as what is being said.
The internet is an enormous septic tank of nonsensical emoting and projection of the contents of the collective psyche. It is not the trolls that make it un-pretty. It's what humans are that makes it un-pretty and a potentially dysfunctional waste of time and effort.
That it is OK, in ANY way, shape or form, for the police/law enforcement to be exempt from prosecution for violating laws which, when applied to anybody else, yield years in prison.
I'm not OK with the activities of the criminals at the FBI.
if Snowden actually was the leaker, and had managed remote access to supposedly secure databases and facilities.
I also wonder if this entire thing is a contrivance to distract people from the fact that the government is who is doing the significant illegal activities.
Relatively little is understood about ecosystems, and what IS comprehended is the extreme complexity of ecosystems and the mystery of the vast unknowns of ecosystems.
For example; recently a bacteria inside a bacteria that lives inside an insect was discovered to share it's genetic material with the bacteria it resides inside. When something like this is a surprising, new discovery, how can we even begin to claim that we can predict, with any certainty or accuracy, what unusual and radical genetic changes we make to anything is going to have on any ecosystem ?
The reality is, we can not, and do not even have any kind of standardized way to trace, catalog, and monitor the dynamic interactions within and between ecosystems.
Yeah, you're so smart because you can code in 16 different languages, and do the same thing in 42 different ways. That's awesome. You're real special.
Except that this level of ever increasing and mostly proprietary complexity is neither efficient or functional. Much less modular, intuitive, particularly interesting, or enlightening.
Some people here say, well, he's just burned-out. Yeah, he's burned-out on the fallacy of being a rat on a wheel that goes nowhere.
We have the most adulterated food supply in the world, contaminated with additives and processed for the specific purpose of being as inexpensive to manufacture, while still retaining as addictive as possible appeal. With nutritional quality as an afterthought
.
While 1 in 5 women with children in the US do have kids with multiple fathers, 43% of them WERE married when the first child was born, so the "dysfunctional culture" thing based just on multiple dads isn't as simple as it might seem on the surface.
The absence of the kind of "skin and bones" starvation that people here keep saying would be proof of hunger is absolutely fucking INSANE.
When a kid gets to that point, you're talking a profound likelihood of serious long-term damage and medical issues. That kind of outright, prolonged starvation isn't a fucking goal to shoot for, and that we've been successful in preventing it isn't a bad thing.
The problem in this country is that the relatively cheap foods are foods that make people obese, diabetic, and arguably stupid, because of the flavor-enhancing additives that have been shown, over and over, to negatively impact neurology.
But it's all about big industry here int he good 'ol USA, corporations that yield profits for investors can do no wrong, so long as they keep yielding those profits, to hell with the public health.
But you go right ahead and blame it on poor people and not on the assholes that make their livings off the backs of those poor people. It's the corporate thing to do.
No taxpayer funding, and what do you end-up with ?
A Continuum-like future, where the corporations fund the police force, call the shots, and the public has no right to transparency at all.
Only there's no chance of someone inventing a time-dilation device to send people back to now from the dystopic future to try and fix where it all went horribly, horribly wrong.
We need to put a stop to the level of secrecy permitted corporate entities which far, far exceeds the ever diminishing privacy that private citizens enjoy(ed).
What we need is to demand all corporate entities, for profit and not for profit, be open to public scrutiny, stop hiding their financial interests, cease and reverse the radical expansion of the military-police state, and start looking at the ridiculous "values" we have as a culture and society which have made this happen in the first place.
These are the fruits of a fear-based, authoritarian, lying, greed-based system of public perception-shaping and miseducation.

It's funny when people contradict themselves and get a +5 rating for doing it.
It's futile.
And really, really funny !
A really good GUI just isn't for some people; so they just use Linux.
that change the shape of your eye, that makes way more sense, and is way less risky and expensive...

This.

We're already doing that.

Hubris usually leads to disaster.
Yield the best and most cost effective results, every time.
This, however, is not how medicine is practiced and funded int he USA. Because it cuts into drug company profits.
The medical and medical research communities in the US are essentially owned by the drug companies and the insurance industry.
Multiple-linked files only appear to take up that much space. I'm always amused by how not tech knowledgeable supposed tech people are on a tech site.
W.C. Fields once said he never drinks water.
When someone inquired as to why, he replied "Because fish fuck in it"...
So much for the slashdot rating system weeding out troll comments.

That's not true, 17 children in the US were born with birth defects caused by Thalidomide.
I don't know if it's nice, but it sure is hilarious !
We elect them as Governors, and to Congress nowadays.
Thank you for taking the time to contribute something that isn't hysterical and useless.
To cook a pizza a couple years back.
It cost about 100 bucks.
Who is it that owns all the patents for these optical sensors and cameras used in an oven ?
I bet some scumbag patent troll corporation.
Thank you very much for sharing this !
Big mistake.

You are seriously going to include anabuse in your argument ?
There is nothing "altruistic" about Disulfiram.
