You mean how Han shot first?

I'm feeling old. The original run was before my time but I can recall excitement to see it on Sunday night movies on TV. That was a long time ago.

Yes, public healthcare rations individual's share in a reasonably fair way. It does not ration total amount allocated to healthcare in a reasonable of fair way. You can see level of care dropping drastically once countries start to struggle financially, look at UK and Canada as examples. Healthcare gets cut, demand gets unmet and soon you can only get a hallway bed if you don't end up dying first in a waiting room's queue.

We do still ration these, as no country succeeded in making these free. We won't need to ration healthcare if you are after 50 year old standard of care and probably could make it free without raising taxes at all if you are after 100 year old standard of care. Perhaps we should, for some definition of "basic". This is not what is being asked by proponents of universal healthcare and this is not what is offered by Medicaid.

People who tell you there isn't enough to go around can do simple math. When end of life or cancer care treatments can run into millions, times population, you end up with a huge number. The only way to make it work is to offer less expensive alternatives.

A thousand login requests every four to five seconds is definitely something that was considered in the era of floppies. If anything, people thought about that kind of thing MORE often back then because bandwidth was scarce. A common approach would be to use exponential backoff https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

There are obviously design issues in the billion dollar system.

I notice you completely omitted what Bush was thinking.

"Add in the fact that the establishment has been lying to us for many years..." ...and you were doing so well.

Anti-vax is just conspiracy theory, playing to it is way to gain power. Joe Rogan does pretty well, you don't have to say intelligent things to make money.

Says a lot about you. Most people care, it's hypocrites and sociopaths that don't.

Good to know you think the president being a rapist and child molester gives you permission to do the same.

And what they do is our business when it affects national security. And Jensen resigned, he was not fired.

What did Jensen create? His public appearances demonstrate that he is ignorant of AI.

Rationing is inevitable regardless, rationing occurs in our capitalist insurance system and it occurs with self-pay.

"This is because it is impossible to provide all the healthcare to everyone all the time. It is impossible, because it is impossibly expensive to do so."

That is true and unrelated to healthcare being "public". Funny how you smear "public healthcare" when you criticism applies to private healthcare. Wonder why? You seem to think that all problems are solved by denying care to some so that it won't be rationed for you. That's the problem with "public healthcare", right? People you don't like get benefits?

It does not matter if it is bureaucrat issuing denials, AI, or waiting lists and quotas - rationing is inevitable when you dealing with universal health care. This is because it is impossible to provide all the healthcare to everyone all the time. It is impossible, because it is impossibly expensive to do so.

Nobody actually cares about who you sleep with. Our leadership sleeps with underage girls and eats babies and we haven't taken down a single one. But who you sleep with is the primary means with which you destroy someone in our society, if the powers that be decide that someone needs to be gotten rid of, because it turns out we are hypocritical little pieces of shit.

Huangs ouster is about him smuggling chips to China, in particular, about the power struggle in DC around it. State and Treasury wanted it stopped, Commerce wanted it continuing, because Luttnick's son holds a piece of the Nvidia pie. Luttnick lost.

It's click-bait. You know the equation.

Money + Beauty = eyeballs

Indeed, but it was accidental. I'm not sure the significance either way.

Maybe they should fix reviews on their own site before trying to handle the entire internet.

Amazon isn't trying to do anything. Amazon execs are trying to make proposals that increase their impact factor, hoping to get promoted.
