    Science Ethics and Racism in Drug Enforcement Thread

    You are all confusing ethical with moral, and legality, or even worst with efficacy. A shaman offering his services to someone is not unethical as long as the shaman believes he is right. On chinese traditional medicine, which btw predates western medication by a thousands of years, have their...

    Don't change the goal posts Tanoomba, I'm not asking about bio ethics, nor genetics. Nor am I asking if there are practical applications to Chinese Medicine, the assumption is that there are practical applications. What am I asking is if you consider the practice of Chinese traditional...

    Science Ethics and Racism in Drug Enforcement Thread

    So If I may clarify your point, the whole practice of traditional Chinese medicine is unethical. If so, can you point out, what standards are you using to judge them unethical?

    I personally have zero problem with anyone doing experiments on human cell's. I just don't know how can the outcome be tested in an ethical way. I'm using ethics as "the outcome I don't want is a human embryo been born and then they realize, oh increase immunity also gives blindness."...

    Hodj... Do you think that Chinese medicine of using rhino's horn, and cat' nails, and other natural byproducts is also unethical? Is it unethical in your view the almost entirety of eastern medicine? After all they don't subscribe to the western ethical standards for medicine. What...

    my last company worked in the healthcare field, specifically with 270/271 and hl7. There is a giant untapped market in the verifications field.

    Any stock options? My fear with that type of work, is that is two year frantic phase, and then it is sold to another company. At that point other people make millions and those putting 70 hours week, noticed they lost two years of their lives.

    What I learned in reading big data problems, and sites that handle massive log ins/ concurrent users is the following. I compare it with physics and approaching the speed of light. On this context, computing the gravity for our speed context is a simple F = (M1 * M2 * K) / R2. Now try computing...

    I should add that for this big data project there are other tools to process your data. An oop language may not be the better one. Maybe Hadoop or map reduce.

    Modern day vs does have Database projects which effectively gives u source control for databases.

    What are we talking about? the internet of things? or server side development? or website development? I thought the question was about java vs c#, or other html generator language. If you are doing embedded work, of course c++ is the better route.

    I think the first sentence gave away the context. Exceptions are not part of a normal flow of a program. He should have used try parse instead. Exception handling on a try catch is very resource intensive. Protecting yourself against a timeout or a unforeseen situation is recommended, using...
