    Yes as even some of those FDA approved drugs for chemo are incorrectly applied / diluted or generally a scam in approval clothing.

    Personally would rather take a placebo then over pay for anti-cancer agents that many times are a big cheat in cost.

    Number one cheat, price fixing, number two cheat valves frequently with tubing ineffectively set so no drip gets into patient or reduced dosage via ignored procedure so vacuum forms.

    It goes on, so get the FDA off their corrupt arses and have them actually be effective us more delusional than AOC on LSD during SOTU white out.

    The two ports:

    Mess with either and your business growth if used will suffer for sure.

    Same goes for ports on network gear or even make it different for edge gear, security forces through App instead of at least a hard link to physical device, what?

    USB-C is really just Ethernet flattened out looks like an interesting compressed compromised to be determined if it has staying power with a truce between Apple lightning/thunderbolt types with mainstreamed other makers gear.

    However, under the hood all of us know it is still Ethernet with mangled frame identifiers and interconnection stack.

    Note, economics is a perception racket, pure and simple!

    The way you improve an economy would always lead to improving perceptions. So if you wonder why with all the power we have today, the economy looks so dour?

    PERCEPTION!

    War sometimes stirs the economy, it forces activities and people into action, conscription of assets, people and lands. Bad for economics in most cases, but one that forces movement, kind of like a laxative does for the alimentary canal. Works but far from optimal is the word there.

  18. iTunes U on a 128GB iPad with GSM option return on Ask Slashdot: Programming Education Resources For a Year Offline? · · Score: 1

    Hello:

    Most of the iTunes U courses for programming, in particular, the Stanford Edu and the Carnegie Mellon series are easily loaded on an iPad that may be solar powered/easily charged in remote locations.

    However, it is recommended that you get the absolute maximum storage to hold all the video/audio/app/e-book content.

    Avoid courses requiring a remote login to proceed since you are not able to communicate.

    GSM capable is suggested, unlocked iPad 128GB which usually equates to AT&T for the carrier. But do make sure it is unlocked first and before you even start loading the courses.

    Load all the courses at the absolute fastest Internet location, my suggestion is a major bandwidth hub with 1 gigabit or 100 megabit minimum and be prepared to campout a bit to get all the synchronizations finished up.

    You can also choose to utilize iTunes itself, but the iPad is where you need to make sure the content is complete, so a PC or better yet, Mac with iTunes and lots of storage on tap is the ticket for best results.

    Budgeting space is significant as well plus other topics may be great.

    Linux? Well Linux would work, but far less elegant than iTunes U notebooks and iPad combination.

    Last but not least, encase the device in a robust container for protection, here is a listing from Redlands in Australia to review:

  21. DARPA - It is too late - Adversaries Got It! on DARPA Fears Big Data Could Become Big Threat · · Score: 2

    Considering all the discussions about 'big data' and DARPA is actually in this rare instance way behind the curve.

    My own data analysis of what has happened says that the combination of processing and storage in the potential adversarial hands is so great, a set of counter measures is really hard to find now.

    There are extrinsic factors, but DARPA is far from the right theoretical understanding. Albeit, the DARPA research that helped propel big data, the ARPA-NET has spawned so much, so quickly it is nearly hopeless and now requires a brand new paradigm to get that tiger by the tail for security.
