But most don't... Walking across the street can cause death or brain injury, but like measles that is a very small risk.

I think the medical community would agree, if the measles vaccine caused a high rate of autism, it would be far worse than .001% of people who contacted measles suffering permanent damage. They simply would not allow you to make that damaging decision and would label it child abuse.

Hell, at least some studies into autism would have us believe that actually more people would die in scenario one (from autism related deaths [which have been measured as ten times the national average]) than in scenario two.

And you would expect hundreds of QA engineers to be employed for this task? (lets not forget they already have everything in place to continue patching and testing)

Every corporation and agency is independently paying millions and millions to have them continue to patch their computers. I would not wager a guess at how much it costs to continue producing patches, but I cannot imagine it is more than a handful of full time devs.

Zuckersberg just wants the government to train a bunch of coders, flooding the market and lowering the average pay (even the no noticeable percentage of the new coders ever being decent coders).

By some we are of course talking less than 1% of the coal miner population with enough fundamentals to even have a chance at a quick re-training (a year or two), and the right desirers, personality, and intelligence.

And lets remember, these people ?picked? or at least have been doing for decades a physical trade. Going in and saying to them they all need to become intellectual desk jockeys not only won't work but is just cruel. If you are going to offer opportunities to coal miners, offer them trades retraining.

Governments and corporations might like to think of people as interchangeable cogs, but that is not the reality.

For the simple task of a portable recorder, GG is a ridiculous choice.

So basically what this is saying is that it is not illegal for your boss to send you an email, it is not illegal for him to ask you to work from home after work hours, it is just illegal for you to agree, and you will be the one fined? At least that is how the summery reads.

Well this would agree with Star Trek labelling Earth as in sector 001.

Janeway was one horrible Captain that went from one genocide to another, ignoring any directive that was inconvenient.
But she was still far better than The Emissary, who was willing to abandon any post, and ignore any order, if the his faith told him to.

Star Trek is all technobabble. There is no science in Star Trek you airhead.

All humans can track their lineage back to a common single ancestor.....

The idea that the Sun revolves around the Earth, particularly from our reverence point, is completely a valid and true observation. That is just not the best reference point if you want the simplest explanation/model. But just because it is simple does not make it any truer.

Call me when an organ regenerates inside of a dead animal.

A contract signed under duress and harassment is not necessarily legally binding...

Which is splitting hairs. Demoted is very much the same as fired. If you cannot be fired for a political contribution, I guaranty you cannot be demoted/not promoted for that same reason.
