  1. Re:Specious propaganda. private health care is bet on Increased Bandwidth Irrelevant? · · Score: 2

    Oh.. and in REALITY,

    we have a system that is failing due to companies not providing health plans.

    frankly, we are left with bankrupting people or having the government cover health care costs for people. I think that the second option is the best option... unless you are a social Darwinist.

    An end to end solution is not the way to go.

    Cost coverage is all you need.. hospitals should remain private, as should nurses and doctors.

    besides that, you just need a system to cover kids for any illness, and adults for normal doctor visits hospitalization and illnesses taht effect 90% of teh people... if they want better coverage.. they can buy it.

    BUT, google does not own the patents... their employees do. So... if a company lets employees own the inovations that they come up with (even if there is an exclusivity contract for distribution and use rights), does that not mediate the evilness?

  8. Re:? 42 is not prime on 42 *IS* The answer to Life, the Universe and Zeta · · Score: 1
    FTFA:

    As Riemann explored the significance of this new landscape, he realized that the places where the zeta function outputs zero (which correspond to the troughs, or places where the landscape dips to sea-level) hold crucial information about the nature of the primes. Mathematicians call these significant places the zeros.

    Riemann's equation transformed the primes into points at sea-level in the zeta landscape. But then Riemann noticed that it did something even more incredible. As he marked the locations of the first 10 zeros, a rather amazing pattern began to emerge. The zeros weren't scattered all over; they seemed to be running in a straight line through the landscape. Riemann couldn't believe this was just a coincidence. He proposed that all the zeros, infinitely many of them, would be sitting on this critical line--a conjecture that has become known as the Riemann Hypothesis.


    darn... perhaps I should have said "THE ZEROS CORRESPOND TO the distribution of the primes in the real number system".

    fucking pedant.

    The RH does not say that ALL zeros are primes, just that all primes are zeros.

    this is a conditional, not a bi-directional.

  18. Re:A Chicken in Every Pot on Democrats May Promise Broadband for All · · Score: 1

    you are so full of SHIT. First off, regulations do not create bad service and cost cutting at insurance companies. they do not cause an insurance company to restrict benefits, or deny valid claims or raise rates while reducing quality. They are corporations and they are ment to create as much money as possible... giving out quality care coverage and paying out the money required by the hospital and allowing patients to recover to the point a doctor thinks they should leave before you force them out of a hospital is antithetical to the idea of makign lots of money. As a country, we spend 3 times the amount of GDP in helth care than countries that have universal health systems, yet our country has a higher infant mortality rate, and a lower quality of care and access than those countries. The insurence industry is hording money and reducing quality of service. We would save billions of dollars a year if we had universal health care. second off, I think you need to read up on Medicare part D.

    Umm... right.... I could point out to you that your bureaucracy statement is a bad generalization. Health insurance. No way could the US government be more bureaucratic or wasteful than the entire insurance industry. here is a fact.... Government is fantastic at providing a specific level of service to all citizens... Private industry is not.... Private industry is GREAT at production of goods when there is competition (Which requires safe guards against monopolies)... Government is HORRIBLE at it. When all citizens need a service, like health care coverage, or broadband, the best entity to take on that job is the government. Just look at what has happened to the medicare system since they privatized coverage plans... it is more expensive, people get less service, and they are paying MORE for drugs.
