            Well private practices are held to a higher standard, so much ambiguity...

              That's because they can be sued, and the government - well it can be, but to no real point other than hurting the tax payers.

                  When is bitcoin mining supposed to be pretty much over? i.e. it runs out of coins to mine?

                    At current technology levels, I've heard something like the year 2147, lol.

                            @mlnews Why?
                            Because people would rather be directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people per year, and enable powerful black market cartels full of torturers and murderers, than actually help and treat drug addicts.
                            Putting someone in jail for a year for using drugs is more expensive than supplying that person with an entire lifetime of whatever drug they are addicted to.

                                They wouldn't rather do THOSE things. They are just okay with doing those things in exchange for the bribes that they get. It's not that they want to hurt people, they just are willing to. Not exactly the same.

                                  Boeing says that they will beat SpaceX to Mars. Quite a statement given how far behind they are.

                                        You really need to read that. Then read why the cop committed suicide. Then follow the link to the related case and see who he worked for and how the state had assisted and lauded him in what he was doing!

                                            This is why I never, ever want to be in VA. Every time I deal with something there, this is exactly what I expect. I've had friends abducted and raped there, people abused and literally kept prisoners in chains, it's a sick, sick culture that happens there.
