I paid real money for Destiny 2 recently to see what it is and that game's a boring piece of poo poo, too.

it's unironically one of the worst piece of poo poo games i've ever played, even anthem was more fun than that. it was like an extremely boring sterilization of a game with like nothing to do and they even managed to gently caress up the whole skinner-box dopamine droplet aspect of loot-shooter because there's no real loot, and also the shooting sucks since theres like 2 enemies and they don't even really fight back

Borderlands 2 was good during the portion of the game where zer0 invisible-chain-teleport-backstab-oneshot was a viable strategy. Outside of that portion it was not good

Not only that, they completely ruined one of the most important aspects of an MMO, an open world populated by other people, and replaced it with essentially 16 small shooter maps. It sucks a surprisingly high amount.

app events appears to be an analytics service. normally you'd expect that such a service would only let the developer look at the gathered data, instead it's sending it to the rest of facebook as well

really we should view all software of any kind linked to facebook as suspect now

no one should expect that. what possible reason would anyone who has been alive for the last 10 years have to think that that would be the case? facebook's implicit mission statement is to gather as much information as they can about you, they might obey the vampire rule of needing you to invite them in vis a vis some app analytics integration poo poo but once they have their foot in the door they are going take every single loving they can, right down to the copper in the walls

i disagree about it being "unexpected". if youre an app developer who set up some facebook integration beacon thing and are surprised they are strip mining your customers' data, youre a moron

also, this is amazing. i just wanted to check his name but this came up:

Editors Note:
Despite the progress in polio and other diseases made possible by vaccines, today we are witnessing a resurgence of vaccine-preventable illnesses as nervous parents skip their children�s shots. Watch the PBS documentary Vaccines�Calling the Shots to find learn more.

BIO is also a leading voice on the patent-ability of biotech inventions and other IP matters. To get the most recent updates on IP in the biotech world, please sign up for BIO�s free bi-monthly IP Newsletter.

A guest writer in a recent article in the Wall Street Journal repeated the oft quoted Jonas Salk statement about his Polio vaccine: �There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?� Many use this statement as the moral impetus for refusing patents on medically important innovations (see Michael Moore�s Capitalism: A Love Story). Unfortunately, Jonas Salk created a myth that day by leaving out several crucial details.

As pointed out by Robert Cook-Deegan at Duke University, �When Jonas Salk asked rhetorically �Would you patent the sun?� during his famous television interview with Edward R. Murrow, he did not mention that the lawyers from the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis had looked into patenting the Salk Vaccine and concluded that it could not be patented because of prior art � that it would not be considered a patentable invention by standards of the day. Salk implied that the decision was a moral one, but Jane Smith, in her history of the Salk Vaccine, Patenting the Sun, notes that whether or not Salk himself believed what he said to Murrow, the idea of patenting the vaccine had been directly analyzed and the decision was made not to apply for a patent mainly because it would not result in one. We will never know whether the National Foundation on Infantile Paralysis or the University of Pittsburgh would have patented the vaccine if they could, but the simple moral interpretation often applied to this case is simply wrong.�

While the debate on whether patents are the best way to incentivize medical innovation and commercialization continues, that debate should proceed without reliance on this myth regarding the history of the Polio vaccine.

Filed under: Patently BIOtech, Public Policy, biomedical innovation, Biotech Patenting, drug development, healtcare innovation, innovation, patent, polio, vaccines

there's a billion inline links in there that im not gonna copy. if youre curious, just google "polio" or "vaccine" and im sure youll find a hosed up website just like this one.
