Joe Haldeman's "The Forever War" from 1974 also touches on this.

"* LSD here is a shorthand for psychedelics in general."

"Reddit"?

many prescription opioids also contain acetaminophen

Wrong. You and your habits/data are the product for Amazon to sell/use. The box isn't the product.

I'd argue that they are killing their competitors not customers

"Prometheus", anyone?

great making-of doc on The Thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B48Yp00LitE

I think he meant "Comment-est?"

It's all about delays due to lack of enrollment in clinical trials. A 2013 study from the same Tufts thinktank as the recent cost report says that 37% of clinical trial sites under-enroll patients and 10% don't get a single patient! Here is a market ripe for disruption: some startup needs to build the uber of clinical trial enrollment. [1]http://csdd.tufts.edu/files/uploads/02_-_jan_15,_2013_-_recr...

"when I look back I will clearly view the code I've written here to be way more important for humanity's progress than the code I've written for entrepreneurs' selfish attempts at billion dollar exits"

Great article! Being the fat guy I am, I had to google "salt and cornstarch on meat" and I'm glad I did! "As odd as it sounds, don’t skip the cornstarch. The cornstarch absorbs additional moisture from the surface of the steaks. Drier exteriors mean even darker, more intense browning, which translates to bigger, more complex flavor."[1]

"yishan 27 points 15 minutes ago Hiya. It was a harsh response, I agree (there's actually more, but we're pulling our punches, if you can believe it), and in fact all day yesterday I didn't want to post a reply, hoping his AMA wouldn't get too much traction or he wouldn't spout too many misconceptions and we could all just continue going our separate ways. Problem is, this was starting to really irritate a number of employees who'd worked with him, and he's the kind of guy who enjoys the attention he can get by saying "I used to be a reddit admin" even though he'll just post spurious stuff he doesn't know about, and left unchecked the positive attention encourages him to do it more. In running reddit, there's an interesting balance between the normal standards of professionalism (which we try very hard to uphold even when someone is being unreasonable) and the fact that we're a huge internet forum where a higher degree of openness is expected. I'm actually really focused on building competent, professional management precisely because the spotlight is always on us - and also because I've been at other Silicon Valley companies where that hasn't always been the case - but it also means that because of that spotlight, any tiny deviation can be hugely magnified."[1]

this has been posted on HN before, but it's relevant: http://www.multivax.com/last_question.html

Gernsback was the man, but I feel the need to mention: H.G Wells, Jules Verne, Mary Shelly, H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Rice Burroughs...

maybe it is a revenue stream for them?
