Just for balance, Boaz is in my top 5 CS professors. For more advanced theory topics you need more of a guide as the field is pretty wide and deep; he is great at that. I am not sure how to reconcile my learning experience with yours but I have fond memories of Boaz's lectures.
People often just don't die instantaneously, they get sick and require care this taking up resources. Also, some people don't die but are permanently disabled or others get better.
"If there is a program on PBS or NPR about it, it is almost always a young female being interviewed"
I posted the link : http://www.pbs.org/newshour/tag/opioids/
So I read through a few of the stories, and of the first few that focus on the stories of individual addicts all three are white males.

Although they fall short of giving the specific statistic you quote take a lot at these stories : "white" is in the title and url and they both mention the toll males are taking.
"He’s been seeing a lot of dead white males of late, especially ages 45 to 54." : http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/deaths-despair-cutting-life-s...
"So, here is a male with no identity. He’s not working. He’s supposed to be a provider for his family. He can’t even do that. So that low self-worth, along with that hopelessness feeling, we start seeing tremendous depression." http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/feeling-falling-behind-fuels-...
I just don't know how you get from "subjective observation" to what I am reading. I stay this as I also worry your perception is alienating you from folks that have your interests in mind as I am doubtful it is the folks calling for cuts do.
I personally would be happy to give up a few dollars of the $1,859 [1] I spend on bombs every year. That is 6 weeks of work if you are working minimum wage. The blah blah budget hawks is b.s. to remove the few elements the benefit the general public and reshape the U.S. into a developing country where we fight over scrapes. Matthew 25:40 : what you do unto the least of your brother ... if we don't start taking care of one another as a family you won't have much left.

"they completely ignore white male citizens of the US are left to rot (and die from opioid abuse and suicide) in West Virginia, etc." :
A simple google search yields :

[the next statements are made with the hope of furthering dialog] Yes, they could do better as far as content, what worries me about your post is your statement "completely ignore" seems to differ from reality.
if you get the job make sure it doesn't happen to the next person.
it is an improvement but when i am in these situations i usually grab the first library out there.
wonder if there is something similar for linux?

I previously didn't have an opinion on cloudflare until recently using the net from a network that was black listed - web surfing was reduced to constantly filling captachas. Bottom line for me is no single organization should have so much power and I have stopped using cdn's and encourage everyone else to do the same.
so i donated ... this person has linux games and it is the holidays ... perfect gift for my nerd friends ... an ad that is anti-ad ... sly fox if you ask me.
wow - that was so similar to my experience.
I made the switch. My biggest problem with the lack of privacy is that I don't know in X years how my data will be used. In X years - laws may change - mores may change - the fortune of google may change. It just doesn't seem prudent for me and my progeny.
For example searching for information about cigarettes or cigar clubs - 30 years ago may have been socially acceptable. Today if that information were available from the 80's it could provide signal for insurance companies determining rates.
Being rejected a few times this week, this makes me feel a bit better. For one interview ... my brain decided to take the day off ... nerves I guess ... it was not pretty. Any who (sic) ... the show must go on ... back at it tomorrow morning wish me the best.
... is it me or is a facebook login required?
there is a vhs generation loss that tops at 20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mES3CHEnVyI I wonder what this would be for video compression.
I am actually interested in reviving gopher I am wondering if folks would interested - or has any recommendations for a first step would be.
from visual inspection the histogram seems to peak at 1.6 the golden mean
why ... as a current firefox os user ... can't wait to get back to andriod.
I agree ... my first thought when I saw the teaser was ... the average lifespan for the pre-morden world was about 25. Back pain is a problem in your 40's - 50's I doubt if a culture will change for such a rare problem. It is like us getting rid of all stairs because people in their 60's aren't as mobile. But then if you are willing to believe in acupuncture you are willing to believe in anything.

Folks seem to forgotten what happened to the Appalachian Community Service Network. We know it as TLC and while a fortune was made off of honey bobo the folk in Appalachia still have one of the lowest educational levels of working Americans. As much as I love capitalism you have to admit it does not play well with the commons.
