Well, someone has to pay for the bombs on Iran, and social security and medicaid is already earmarked to finance tax breaks for the ultra-rich.

Every shitty new idea in Redmond will just generate more Linux users.

Reminds me of my first computer which had no main memory at all. It used part of the 16k video memory through a kind of interface logic.

In a civilized country, they would not be able to pull such a stunt. They would have to prove economical necessity to fire that many people. And it would be way more expensive: usual rates here are one months’ salaries per year of employment. And they would be forced to actively help finding new jobs for the majority of ex-employees.

Evolution tests many paths and takes the one that benefits the species in the long run. Simply by the better equipped producing more viable offspring.

An immune system on permanent alert probably makes autoimmune problems worse, and may exhaust all kinds of resources. Both would have to be balanced with the benefit of not having a runny nose.

When I see a link to a potentially interesting YT video, I just send the link to my PC.
