I haven't looked at the code, but maybe this site doesn't redistribute anything, either.

And just because something's executing on the server side, that really shouldn't necessarily change the legality of it. (Hell, maybe Safari or Chrome look like they're doing it locally and tunnel data through a cache server.)

> our customers are in [government] and require us to commit to background checks on everyone we hire

That really -- and especially -- sounds like it should be an illegal form of civil rights abuse.

Not in an insurance-based model.

Not to detract from all the valid points raised in this thread, but the elephant in the room is that an individual’s level of education is generally associated with increased intelligence, and higher intelligence is associated with much higher rates of almost all psych diagnoses.

The same is also true in most other areas of higher personal achievement: lawyers, CEOs, politicians, etc are all disproportionately on various spectrums of depression, substance abuse, sociopathy, narcissism, and so forth.

At least part of the problem is how we view mental conditions as a society, which leads people to think that this is abnormal.

Why?

I’ve been a webdev for 20-something years, and it sure didn’t used to be the tradeoff.

An individual limit on annual legal expenses would go a long way — say, an out-of-pocket maximum of 1/10th a person’s net income.

> I can see the courts point: International websites have to respect local laws

No, they don’t, and shouldn’t.

I’m free to offend the sensibilities of China, disgrace the Ayatollah, and violate a wide variety of other “local laws” from the comfort of my home or workplace.

If those places don’t like it, they’re also free to censor content until such time that their populace won’t tolerate it any longer.

In much of the conservative south, the stigma surrounding opioids never left, and economically underprivileged people have been suffering ever since.

Over the past decade, one of my longer-haired male family members has on separate occasions been forced to endure sizable fractures and even orthopedic debridement without analgesics.

The greatest irony is that tightened controls only seem to exacerbate substance abuse in communities with epidemic problems.

I grew up in a small town and have a hard time understanding why it's so contentious to add another major facility in a big city like Dallas or Austin.

It makes almost no impact on things like traffic or social services at a population scale. (In reality, even a HQ1 type facility is just another +0.3% for DFW or +1% for ATX, which is equivalent to hastening net growth by a few months at most.)

What's wrong with ABIA?

It's a reclaimed airforce base with new facilities and better service ratings than LAX or JFK.

> (But, yeah, naproxen seems to be one of the safest ones...)

Kind of.

But it starts to feel a little uneasy taking it all the time once you realize that naproxen's regulatory approval came from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Bio-Test_Laboratori... data.

Not buying it -- these headlines make me even more bullish on Tesla, and I've been following them since before they had their first investors.

Production is coming along better than anyone realistic could have ever expected, and continues to do so at an impressive and steady rate.

Regular programming may not be getting dumber, but the commercials most definitely are.

I haven't had a TV in 10 years and when I'm at someones house who does, the difference is immediately apparent, especially during the late night segments.

The average early AM commercial now (at least in my area) is literally so bad that it feels like advertisers just assume that their average viewer is mentally challenged or emotionally unstable in some way. It's almost like watching a SNL skit or a fake commercial within a really bad B-grade movie.

If someone could make a version of this report that weighted toxicants for TD50 per km², it would be interesting to see the data plotted against epidemiology rates in the same areas.

What about pacemakers?

Not true, at least not under many conditions.

The required equipment makes magnetic data unlikely to be recoverable except in exclusive cases where certain government agencies with sophisticated labs get involved, but in short, storage leaves lasting (trace) physical changes behind.

SSDs and operating systems without proper Secure Erase support can very easily leave behind complete data.

Sugar in bread is so nasty to me. I can't stand to eat it, yet it's in almost every loaf on the shelf at a supermarket with 50 types.

I have seen a prepaid device literally self-destruct from a combination of market segmenting and artificial firmware restrictions.

Edit: There was no CM support, no way to delete bloatware, forcibly disabled SD storage support, and non-optional updates that eventually rendered the device unusable. The two end-user choices were to either remain offline or get stuck in "not enough free space" loops.

They didn't say opioids are no better than acetaminophen+ibuprofen, but codeine, which is weak enough to be freely available OTC in many countries.

Anyone doubting the merits of opioids in pain control should take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equianalgesic - many of the voices in this debate will sorely regret their remarks if they ever experience real pain, which most people will at some point.
