So if we take what you said, and what the other person said, the obvious answer is that he is right; you should avoid diagnosis and hospitalization, and seek out a black market doctor so you can still get treatment. The treatment isn't the dangerous part, it is the diagnosis and hospitalization.
It's not our government that gave away your information, it was your own government that did that.
Since you refuse to blame the right party, your attitude is hardly going to help solve your problem.
And I might also point out, the UK, Australia, and Germany probably also have all your information. But don't blame them, they're also not the ones who gave it away.
I dunno about the news in your universe, but in mine the cops in America are still shooting unarmed people every week. I'm scared whenever I see one of their cars.
That is naive. A smoke-screen is needed in democratic politics, because you need the support of the voters. In a Communist regime, they can make any changes they want with little push-back. Certainly not push-back from "low-information" lower classes. The types of things that would have institutional push-back, like increasing anti-corruption measures, would not be aided by a smoke-screen; they would more likely use the threat of execution to maintain internal order.
Also, beware of being credulous of propaganda regarding some supposed gender imbalance in China. It is also possible that young women in villages are doing good in school and getting scholarships and new lives, leaving a decreased population and localized gender imbalance in particular villages with very low education. This is especially true in places where boys are expected to apprentice in a traditional local industry at an early age, and the girls are free to go to school.
In other cities there are whole factories full of women working, who live employee housing and are invisible to the farm hands.
That's a bunch of nonsense, China and the US have a close working relationship.
It seems kinda strange to write off conflict between Japan (who abused China badly during WWII and before) and China as really being about the US. They are traditional regional enemies, and control of these islands has real effects on the ground.
I'm more worried about, does this force Japan to change their Constitution to allow a regular military? Does that inevitably lead to nuclearization?
I live in Oregon, and I lived in Portland for a couple years including downtown... and you're totally full of it. Cyclists here ride the same speed as everywhere else, and if there are idiots that get up to 50, that's because they're going down a hill. If you aren't sure where you're going or if you need to turn before you get to the bottom, you don't want to go that fast anyways. Anywhere that you need navigational assistance, you're going much slower; even, a controlled speed.;)
The reason cyclists downtown pass cars isn't that they're going 20+ MPH. That's actually kinda funny. It is because the traffic is going like 10MPH, and bike is going 15. Obviously downtown has hills but see above; if you're not sure where your turn is, you're going slower anyways.
The trees are taller out here, but the bicycles go the same speed.
I've been using Fedora since it was called "RedHat Linux" and it has always played well with everything else, works well in both dev and server roles, and the best thing about it, it isn't "cool" at all! Most of the users just want a stable distro that works and is pragmatic.
Somebody wants a trendy distro, guaranteed the blogs are going to be full of asshat wannabe hipsters.
and you reply that they would be making money if only government didn't run them in such a stupid way. Can you think about it for a second, but please feel free to stop if your brain starts hurting.
No, by brain is going to keep hurting because people like you think that electing Congress critters who intentionally do a bad job and create fake losses for the US Postal Service somehow means the USPS isn't doing a good job.
Yes, the elected officials suck. No, that doesn't mean the professional government workers suck, or that the USPS is doing a bad job.
I know that somebody out there has had them lose a letter. I've never once in my life had the USPS fail to deliver an expected letter or package. Never. None of those close to me have, either. But almost everybody I know has lost packages with the commercial carriers.
You're full of it. If you have so much knowledge, disagree! Do it! I dare you.
But no, you can't actually identify anything wrong with what I said, or offer some sort of differing explanation. So instead of commenting with general, unspecified, weasel-y claims of authority... look it up.
You should look it up, those are fake temporary losses because congress required them to pre-fund their pension plan for x years, something nobody else has to do, and something that was done specifically to create the lie that they're losing money.
They make money, but they're forced to save more than they make. I mean, don't just repeat thin, obvious propaganda like a right-wing shill. Either care enough to google it one time and find out it is a lie, or find a better propaganda line. This is slashdot, kiddo. We expect better.
Now get off the lawn, and take your lawn signs with you!
I've been to the Post Office, they do a great job. In my State the DMV does a great job, too. I buy permits for commercial mushroom harvesting on National Forests, and except for during the shutdown (not their fault) they give great service.
You want bad service, forget government, try a multinational corporation!
And the pay is typically industry average, with strong benefits. Probably why places like the Post Office can give large and difficult tests and only hire the people with the highest scores.
I used to be a Wildland Firefighter, and only the very best can get a job on the rare Government crews. The government pays less per hour for their own crews, but the workers make a lot more. The worst crews can be reliably identified as being the contractors with the lowest rates.
My public utility, which is run by a board that my community directly elects, has low rates and great service. If the power is out, they get it back on way faster than a commercial utility; and I pay less per kilowatt! And the workers get competitive pay.
Just about any government worker, if you look a the quality of work they do and ask, "what would cost to get this same level of service from a contractor?" The answer will always be "more than it costs now." And if you do it, and then pay that extra, the quality will almost never actually be the same.
Those new open switches are going to really help companies set that stuff up! The future of network security is getting clearer. It probably isn't needed to encrypt all the disks if you have good enough network security. Obviously that depends on the data, and that calculation has changed. It is probably worth having cameras on your racks for physical security, though.
My advice, look it up and read about it. There is not a single citation I can give that is going to be an Idiot's Guide to Fair Use Precedent.
And if you're not going to research it, why seek citations? Just believe me or don't, that's really your only choice other than research, and that would still be true if I gave 100 cites.
Not to mention, this is a conversation, a comment system on slashdot. You've been here long to know I wasn't attempting to publish my comment in an academic journal.
You probably make the mistake of believing the copyright notices that the movie companies put on movies, which are almost never even true (as stated). Distribution is mostly where you actually get into trouble. Making a copy is only a problem if you are doing something that isn't a "fair" use.
In this case google's use was fair because they put technical barriers in place to ensure that they only distributed snippets, and didn't show their ads on or otherwise make money off of those snippets.
Copying in and of itself is not actually a problem. It is the distribution that usually causes legal conflicts. The act of copying is part of the physical process of distribution, and the number of copies figures into the analysis of harm once a copyright violation is proven.
But can I go to your house, copy your books (with your permission), and then take my copies with me?
Yes.
But I could get in trouble if I invite you over specifically for that purpose, or if I charge you a fee, or if I advertise to my friends that they can come and copy my books. This is exactly the same as copying of cassette tapes, and making cassette tapes of radio broadcasts.
You ARE allowed to share with your friends in a very limited way. But it has to be like, your friend is already visiting, and asks to make a copy, and makes the copy themselves.
What they're "about" is, google has lots of Beeeeeellions of dollars laying around, and since they already did this, might as well make a grab at some of their cash. Regardless of if google's actions even harm them.
In the end, their greed cost them a bunch of legal expenses, whereas the moral high ground would have permitted them instead to focus on the free promotional value.
If money goes IN to lines of business where it'll make more than 9.8%, where does it come FROM? From shutting down (or foregoing) operations that make less, of course.
That would only be true if these companies had no liquid assets, no "war chest," and all of their money was working at 100% all the time.
None of that is true. The existing businesses most in a position to compete in a new area in fact tend to be large and have difficulty keeping their money working; when they see an opening, they can throw a bunch of money at it that was otherwise not working effectively.
And startups the drain is more in people that available money, because there is usually lots and lots more money available for statups than actually gets used, because teams that inspire confidence are the bottleneck, not the funding.
That is true, but growing up on the Apple ][ I didn't have a good paint program, so I wrote my graphics by filling squares on graph paper, making a list of the coords on lined paper, and then typing them in.
Audio was worse, because you had to translate the tones into frequencies, and (attempt to) account for the time of your algorithms when deciding on the note timing.
That's fine, nobody is forcing you to make money off of networked computers.
Personally, I'd rather do business with RedHat than Amazon if pricing and service is comparable. Especially if Open Source means I have a turn-key package to run my own hosting, with the same VMs, on my own servers to handle the minimum load, and then I can buy the extra peak load from RedHat. That would be heaven.
Right now it is a bit of a pain, because the typical setup is hand-managed servers for the minimum, and then proprietary tools for the cloud compute units. Nobody is really bridging that in a way that lets the customer take advantage of price savings.
And by the way, it is the exact same NSA regardless of if my hosting provider is company A, or company B. Totally not relevant.

how did the 2012 event get known by the DHS from a 2009 book?
Precogs.

Yeah, in my State if you mount something with blue lights on your handlebars, and you're not an emergency vehicle, you can get a huge fine.

If it isn't safe to be stopped on that shoulder, it isn't safe to be riding on it, either. Like, duh.
And if you have that little clearance, you shouldn't be navigating at all, you should have your attention affixed firmly to the road.

Shorter: Dilbert's company got the contract, due to their extensive experience in the industry.
Do it in-house, instead. Career professionals are better than contractors.
