Same here, I feel unsafe if I don't have my USB toolkit with me. Long time user of UBCD and a custom Ubuntu images with some block recovery utilities. Shit has saved my ass so many times

Because people don't hire other people to handle sales? It has to be an MLM? Something smells off here

IBM destroyed the best part of their app too, the widget with a three day graph for temp and precipitation

They are likely testing individuals

There are a ton of systems built into living organisms that handle regulation and repair. These systems make us incredibly robust to many different types of insult. We don't build our systems like that, unfortunately humans are incredibly stupid and short sighted so we need to work harder to build robust systems. That's on top of the fact that nature has had such an incredibly long time to build these regulatory and repair systems

True

When I say that we are fragile I mean that we physically are.

One Mike Tyson's punch in my face and there's a good chance I'll suffer grave damages or worse.

An hippopotamus would probably not even feel it.

Data mobility is a huge problem in the sciences and medical field. For years, companies have been leeching off researchers by trapping them into their proprietary data types which forces them to purchase expensive software licences and prevents sharing due to the need for again, expensive software

This is why open source and open data is important

Can you elaborate on this? I was working on few expensive, proprietary software for the apnea & ECG analysis and they had rather simple method for exporting to the EDF format.

Exactly! Both can be true, humans have been around for a while and its not like we stopped evolving at some point

Well, some people have :)

Intentional homicide != gun violence

Indeed, but we should almost certainly care more about total homicide than gun violence (which is 2/3rds suicide, 1/3rd gun homicide).

Yea we should, but the topic at hand is children being slaughtered in schools with assault rifles

Well I can't think of a single way this could go badly!
