population density? Maybe the pill mills only located in certain areas.

You forgot the best part: It made Purdue rich. Instead of changing the frequency of doses, they told doctors to up the strength which made the company more money. The owners of Purdue are billionaires now: http://www.latimes.com/projects/oxycontin-part1/

We have the numbers because the DEA tracks it. Why they didn't look into the numbers is beyond me.

Manufacturer seems to have played a role too by sticking to dosing they knew was ineffective and then pushing for higher doses which lead to big bonuses: http://www.latimes.com/projects/oxycontin-part1/

They don't need to be given out like candy. That's the point. The supply needs to be drastically reduced to prevent new addicts and we should be looking at what other countries are doing for their existing addicts: safe injection sites etc.

Mostly wrong.

Pills were given out like candy, then restricted which caused demand for cheaper alternatives. Had the drug companies been regulated in the first place, we might be OK.

The pills aren't coming from mules or cartels, they are coming from US companies. The pill supply has to lowered.

Here are some alternative facts. Red means bad: https://www.brighthearthealth.com/wp-content/uploads/OpioidA...

> Fighting the "epidemic" at the supply level seems like a losing battle

Kermit, West Virginia. Population 392. They received over 9 million hydrocodone pills in a two year period.

In a 6 year period, the entire state of WV received 780 million pills. Over 400 pills for every man, woman, and child living in WV.

Seems like attacking the supply is great place to start. WV doesn't need this many pills.

No one is denying that google found the bug. No one is denying that microsoft didn't fix it.

The OP asked why Microsoft didn't find this first. The answer is too many things to test. The entire premise of the argument is insane. If microsoft had a viable way to test ALL of the their products for ANY problem, don't you think they would be doing that?

> However, the question is "if Google can find this, why couldn't Microsoft?" Which is an entirely reasonable question.

His position is absurd. Microsoft could have found it. The thing stopping them is the incredible number of tests you would need to perform to find them all.

You are expecting Microsoft to test a nearly infinite number of variables to find every flaw. This is not a reasonable position.

You are misinformed because you are reading propaganda. They won't be relaying their plans of that channel.

Here are some recent events:

russian planes flying into Swedish air space

russian sub in water near Stockholm

Norway beefing up their border troops

etc.

No. "Uber Black" requires a luxury car and uber offers a 3 year lease program to help drivers purchase a vehicle. People signed up and then uber changed the rules so that they now have to accept "Uber x" fares too. Uber changed the rules and drivers are, correctly, pissed.

You give up your privacy when you enter an Uber vehicle.

If the two ladies are upset, they should address the issue with Travis the next time they hang out.

in case there are two "mike"s close to travis. 2 was hired after 1.

Yes but don't follow the money, it is depressing.

They copied it from apple ;) http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/more-exploding-iphones/

It's not working. They missed 67 out of 70: http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/01/politics/tsa-failed-undercover...

"Make something you can sell" seems like a pretty straightforward strategy.

No, it isn't elitism. It is reality and your attempts to browbeat me are laughable at best. The only one showing elitism is you and people like you who seem to take perverse pleasure in trying to castigate others so you can feel superior.

So until you start delivering bags of rice yourself or dedicate your life to non-profits and the collective good, remember that every time you point a finger three are pointing back at you.

No is saying anything even remotely positive about the gui editor. Gradle is extremely complicated.

There are real complaints here.

I'm saying someone who has tried to actually build a product using a particular tool has a lot more experience than someone who poked around for a bit. The author has legitimate grievances with the product confirmed by many comments in this thread.

The author has 100% more experience than someone who opened it up one time last week for funsies.

> I'm not an Android developer...I'm not sure where the author's coming from, but the IDE seems fine to me

You seem wholly unqualified to make this type of judgement

Yes, because of the skill set mismatch. What is confusing about this? My supercomputer cannot feed you today. This isn't elitism, this is reality.

translation: People who work to future problems do not inhibit others from working on today's problems and those people are not blind or out of touch. Go browbeat someone else.

> Just because you are working for a long term (technological, scientistic) goal doesn't mean you are above the many different perspectives of the rest of the world.

I've never implied this. You are making severe assumptions and putting words into my mouth

putting my money on brute force: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-last-10-weeks-of-20...

The translation is: my computer cannot grow your food today. It is not that i\we don't care, is that there is a mismatch in tools to solve the current problems.

My longview is pretty simple: We can do both. Just because some of us are working for a longer term goal doesn't give you any moral authority to demonize us. It is foolish and arrogant.

> You regard what you know (the internet and supercomputers and genetics) as the relevant knowledge, while assuming that the rest of the world has no relevant wisdom to offer and deserves no input.

You are putting words in my mouth. We know people are staving and need access to food, clean water, and sanitation.

If the supercomputer could be used to feed a million people today, we would be doing it. It would be stupid not to. Just because some are taking the long view doesnt me we are out of touch elite.
