The problem is the cards lack security features and an electronic verification mechanism. They should've thought about fakes before rolling them out.

Denying healthcare to those who don't take of themselves is a necessary evil to avoid the burden of freedumbs. The obese also experience disproportionately more classic hits including diabetes, amputations, falls, strokes, heart attack

In parts of Canada, there is prohibition due to epidemic alcoholism. It doesn't solve it, but maybe it helps at the expense of increasing criminal activity.

Police around the US are in a similar boat with low morale and resignations. This is how civilization could end: abuse and neglect of essential services, people divided and acting like idiot children, ignoring self-preservation, ready to fi

Yep. Nearly everyone but equity owners is either hurting or not going anywhere while delivering more for the same or less. Graph after graph Robert Reich has put out there shows the dismalness of the situation. Another infographic video abo

Proper defensive C programming solves these problems. If argc is 0, don't look at argv. Sanity check argv != NULL before looking at it. Or, maybe write security-critical programs in safer languages like Rust.

I stopped using Google Maps a while ago because it gave impossible directions too often. Use Waze mostly now.

I've seen a "minimize turns" option in some navigation app. Also, during heavy traffic, I'd be fine with making 30 turns and continuously recalculated rerouting if it saved significant time.

Ignoring optimization goals such as time, cost, distance, road type, and safety: It's not economical to solve the TSP perfectly for real-world problems, so heuristic algorithms are used to deliver good-but-not-perfect solutions(s).[0]

There is necessary nuance to discuss between stimuli, thoughts, feelings, and unconscious reactions. And I reject wishing or intellectualizing away the realities of the human condition with an idealistic belief system. You can't necess

As a kid, I was extremely anxious from both genetic and situational reasons. Earthquakes nearly gave me panic attacks. I decided I didn't want to be limited by phobias or fears of unknown/inexperience. For personal development rea

You're telling me. I'm into vintage / retro PCs and use IA to find drivers, manuals, and so forth. There are some manufacturers who have gone out of business and aren't completely captured by IA. Some of the worst offend

Video games, social media, Netflix, screen time, and similar passive activities can zap real life, sociability, and mental health right out of you. I have electric fruit fly traps that produce blue light. Two flies with one stone. :) I take

There needs to be nonprofit co-op publisher(s) for the scalable benefit of many institutions. Pack-up and form equivalent new journals.

Mandatory voluntary collaboration + pass around the hat. Paper bylines will only be 3 pages long but everyone will finally get credit (except undergrad and grad students, they're free labor anyhow).

Might I suggest a co-op, nonprofit journal publisher run for the benefit of multiple institutions that give access at near overall amortized cost and free access to individuals. Corporate greed in healthcare, utilities, government, and acad

This doesn't belong on HN. It's too political and doesn't add anything constructive. Can we get insightful items about coronavirus genetic bifurcation, drift velocity, and future pandemic probability estimates? Net negative c

Interesting. It sounds like a demographic catastrophe. If one group doesn't have babies, for whatever reason(s), people elsewhere who have large families will effectively replace them (not in the racist paranoia sense). And their famil

Apples and steaks. Apples don't feel pain or nurse their young. You're attempting reductionism into absurd, conflated equivocation.

No, but at least I didn't give consent to it through my silence or was on the wrong side of history, nearly as important as slavery, since it's an existential threat to all of us. Qui tacet consentire videtur.

The PeTA argument of kindness rarely works because most people are meat addicts and fine with unkindness so long as they don't have to see it. Also, rational self-preservation doesn't work because it's not a freight train abo
