In the US the tax payer subsidizes almost all drug research. Between 2010 and 2019 the NIH spent $184 Billion on all but 2 drugs approved by the FDA.

It worked out to about $1.5 Billion for each R&D product with a novel target and about $600 mill for each R&D product with multiple targets.

The cost to develop each drug is between about $1 and $2.5 Billion

I'm not sure how much is subsidized outside of NIH but I'd imagine other countries are doing the same.

Why should companies own the whole IP or perhaps why should they have any ownership if most of the funding is from the public?

Dual boot with Windows is terrible because of how fastboot messes with the drive partitions. If you want to dual boot you will have to turn off Windows fastboot.

When I was in, the bs spewed was that you should vote Republican to get pay increases because the Dems won't do it. Of course the GOP also likes to chip away at the VA and other veteran aftercare. We also had personnel equipment shortages like armor during OEF/OIF and Congress just shrugged.

Unfortunately there are a lot of impressionable kids and they pass the same dumbassery on when they are old timers. It is effective because you're basically indoctrinated to trust senior leaders.

Hopefully, we start seeing civil rights lawsuits for the usual -- 4th and probably 5th Amendment violations. You know, the classics.

I can't keep up with the propaganda from the GOP.

Sometimes Russia and China are omnipotent and scary bad guys that can do anything. Then sometimes they are bumbling and dumb bad guys that just can't do anything right. In the case of Russia, sometimes they are the misunderstood good guys.

Oh and I forgot, where does the US right stand on Jews now? They were the bad guys faking history but in the last few years they are the good guys. Now that indiscriminate killing in Gaza is over, is the GOP going back to the status quo of pre-2023? After Musk's salutes and the response from the right it does seem like that is going to be the case.

The GOP fanfic of the world is just so confusing and ever changing.

You are wrong. Until recently Windows did not natively support 7z or unrar.

A) it's fake. The specific squadron would be called out explicitly on that memoradum. Paragraph 1 would definitely have to referenced at least 3 AFIs and paragraph 2 would have definitely (especially being an SFS Memo) disclosed punishment via the UCMJ.

B) that copy paste memo indicates it is from a local security forces commander and definitely not the USAF.

I know it's supposed to be a joke but I figure I'd note the amount of fakery here since there's always this kind of mythos that lives a long life.

Everything from the supposed sanctioned DOD standard of 7 wipes of a disk (never was a thing -- The Orange Book/NISPOM on e referenced a study by Gutmann in the 90s), that basically training issues stress cards to trainees (been a rumor as if fact since the early aughts and I'm sure earlier), that's there's a single bullet and 9mm gun at the top of the flag pole at base command, that the Etherbunny was a thing that happened to a friend's roommate, that the country will take care of you after you serve and perhaps worst of all -- Marines don't literally eat crayons and it is just a joke.

I was born after 1980. It isn't definitely generation x because the definition has changed since millennials were called generation y/why. So a person born in 1981 would have been 28 years old in 2009. It doesn't change anything.

It's already illegal in some form. Via piracy of the works and regurgitating protected data.

The issue is mega Corp with many rich investors vs everyone else. If this were some university student their life would probably be ruined like with what happened to Aaron Swartz.

The US justice system is different for different people.

If millinial births start in 1980 then a millinial could have been 29 in 2009.

I bought my house in 2009 and I was really lucky because I wouldn't have been able to afford one precrash. It was actually cheaper to have a mortgage on a house than rent in many 2 bedroom 800 sq. Ft. apartments in my area. Cheaper than some 1 bedrooms in certain areas around here.

For a few years after 2009 interest rates and prices were low enough much more affordable than now.

My situation then is not the situation most millennials find themselves in just a few short years after and certainly not now, especially since I'm an old ass millinial.

I make 6 times what I did when I bought my house and my means is roughly the same plus a car payment basically. My house is worth much much more than what I mortgaged.

A million back then could have given you a lot, lot more structure and a lot more land. Now it'll get you around a 2700 sq. ft. house on an 4th of an acre in a neighborhood in my area. Less than an hour down the road you'll get a shitbox in the hood.

This article is just full of so much shit relative to the normal person. But then that's not the target audience. It's just there so Gen Xers and Boomers will continue to subscribe and just drives the "if millinial weren't stupid and lazy they'd have the same opportunities as we did." propaganda.

Yeah and a couple of things:

Malware has directly passed through as networks multiple times and neither the server of ads nor the ad network were able to be held responsible for it.

Right now it is common for ads to show apps that look like something popular but deploy malware. Nobody is taking responsibility for any of it. Ad networks aren't well policed.

It is irresponsible for a user not to block ads IMO but I also get to decide what packets of data traverse my network just like any other person or company. As a consumer I do not have to be responsible or care if a business model succeeds or not.
