In cells with no chair. Just to make sure the message is clear.

He hadn't yet given his testimony, which would have been in a weeks time. By not appearing the case is closed. If that's not 100% suspicious I don't know what is.
Doesn't matter if "the whistle had already been blown".. if it didn't get to court it was like it never happened.

Well, surely this is the stone ages for cybernetics... in 50 years I think we'll have brains in a box cybernetic organisms... the organic circuits would likely do those abstract functions such as self awareness, which a digital circuit can only mimic, but the digital components would be many times faster, especially if we're using optical quantum circuits. Basically making us, well, obsolete. And if those cyborgs then follow the corporation's mandate of increased efficiency and planned obsolescence, they'll just delete the older copies, which is US!. So AIN'T PROGRESS just GRAND! Or..er.. not?

The definition of "homeopathic" is one molecule of some plant that causes the symptoms you're trying to avoid, and distilled water. If it has any physiological effect then it's NOT homeopathic. Yeah.. I know. Doesn't work, but OTOH, doesn't hurt either (except the pocketbook..) . However, that's not the issue. The previous posters were tryoin to point out that all the cases of infection were made by "alternative" or unregulated drops, none of which are true homeopathic. The body that atempts to regulate the alternative health markets decrees that nothing can me sold as "homeopathic" if it has anythin butdistiled water and the required few molecules of active extract. Al the eyedrops that caused the injuries were alternative "natural" medicines, not homeopathic, just as the article points out. It's those non sterile "natural" products that should be bannned, not distilled water.

Just about every large item I've bought online is later targeted in ads I am exposed to. I wonder if the people that wrote those targeting programs get that once you've bought a house, car bike, lawnmower etc etc you don't NEED or want another. Such a simple concept, but they waste so much money on ads convincing us to buy what we've already got!
Go figure..

I can't remember if they did it every hour, but it was always right before the news, so I always identified it with the newscast, and always checked my watch to see if it was slow (it always was). That is of course, when you needed watches to know the time. Was I ever happy to switch to a cellphone and then smartphone... I figured nobody would still be wearing them except for antiques or expensive ones . I never figured on smartwatches.. with a one inch screen who'd want to use them? But, I guess lots of folks.. who'd a thunk it...

Please someone mod this up! That's the best summary I've read.. Also, has shades of Vietnam in the similarities between it and the tsar's war.
It's just such a shame that they managed to throw off communism only to get another totalitarian regime.

It's the government that doesn't believe in the constitution.. They exercise a "pick & choose" mentality as to which laws they will abide by when it comes to policy, especially in classified matters. that isn't surprising, because most of them come from the upper echelon of society where the prevailing mentality is that "laws are for other people"...

Well, it looks to me like someone, or some group, wants to turn the tables back.. Otherwise, why would anyone push for legal changes which would eventually result in the abandonment of federal protections? It took years of of campaigning to implement those federal protections.. Now they're gone via a stroke of a pen?

Well, then, I want one of these "jetpacks" that don't make any noise, stay in the air for an hour, and are essentially invisible.. since a villager took a photo and there's no jet pack visible. The current jetpack technology is noisy and only keeps you up in the air for 10 to 15 minutes until the fuel runs out.. plus it's clear they're wearing something..
And hey, if it's illegal gold miners why would they call so much attention to themselves with such a stupid prank.. basically inviting the army to their operation?
So I don't buy it... more "swamp gas".

Wish I had mod points now.. I'd rate this right up for a clear take on what's *really* wrong!

Well maybe this change will attract more doctors to Canada, since we have a serious shortage of family physicans.. That's the biggest problem affecting our medical system, since after years of consecutive govt's trying to dismantle it, it's been gutted with bed closures, less registered nurses, fewer family doctors, etc.
*That's* why some Canadians complain about it.. not the system, which is far better than any in the US...

So, OK then.. If it's hard to answer without context, it should give a negative answer re the other megacorps as well. A learning AI should have an ethical filter for some of the things it is exposed to, which says, in effect "this, or that action, is unacceptable in society". So , say, if it lists certain actions by another, it should also be willing to examine it's own 'house", so to speak.. IMHO, anyway...

Yeah, but they don't tell you how long it took to find those 10 ;-) But if they'd said 9 out of *every* ten dentists recommend XYZ then it'd actually MEAN something!

Well, we already are, more and more.. and they also insure that whatever you own will stop working at some point.. It's already reached the point of absurdity when it comes to computer applications..
