A flu with 20x reported mortality rate caused by a virus with a significantly higher infectivity than influenza virus is something you should be worried about.

Note: data is from current cases, may vary as more data is accumulated.

The premise of your brain evolution argument is flawed because you’re assuming nature absolutely wins over nurture in psychological development, which is what I assume you mean by “brain” here. I doubt there’s a particular physical brain configuration that gives rise to pro-life thoughts, although neither of us have proof.

I didn't say it was, I was asking GP to define what he meant by "easily".

Depends on which strain. Ebola Zaire is reported to kill with up to a 90% efficiency, while others more around 50%.

What do you mean by “easily”? Do you mean it’s not airborne?

Quite a few bars, and restaurants in the Mission, are cash-only.

Could this assessment be extended to "companies can be guessed to be large by calling customer support"? I can think of few examples of large companies, monopolies or not, having good phone customer support; many large companies outsource their call centers, which could contribute. This method of assessing "monopolies" will give many false positives if the answer to my question is yes.

Do you have a link for this discussion? This is interesting.

I second the recommendation to get an Asus Zenbook, with the same cons. The case is solid and durable; specs range from reasonable to outstanding (especially at its price point). I would also look at the IBM Thinkpad, as I've had friends and coworkers praise its Linux interoperability.

Can you provide something to support your claim? Why would a private corporation not be subject to Constitutional law?

Sure, this argument may be valid here. At what point do we explicitly allow a website's ToS to supersede the Constitution though? Denial of rights is a single-edged sword easily flipped.

You must not be very good at your job if you can't explain it to people you've known your entire life analogically/in layman's terms. Furthermore, you definitely should not need a cookie-cutter metaphor from some article.

This. It's easy to assume the tech employment environment will improve by holding all other variables constant, ex. the total number of jobs, but in reality the up-front cost offset by hiring cheap labor will continue to be offset via other means, ex. SaaS instead of employees.
