<p>What if we just integrate the hardware so it fails softly?<p>That is, as hardware fails, the system looses capacity.<p>That seems easier than replacing things on orbit, especially if StarShip becomes the cheapest way to launch to orbit because StarShip launches huge payloads, not a few rack mounted servers.</p>

<p>Lots of things hurt cattle, but they do not threaten our domestic beef supply. They are just things for farmers and ranchers to deal with.<p>Think of it this way: Leaving lug nuts loose in new cars does not threaten our nation's auto supply.</p>

<p>I understand his economic arguments.<p>Let me make a national security argument: China will move against Taiwan. Chinese ambitions do not stop there. They want Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, and many more nations as their new territories.<p>We saw international trade cut off in WW1 and again in WW2. It will happen again, and soon.<p>We are better off with an incremental step-down in trade from tariffs than a sudden cut-off. That is what Donald Trump's tariffs are doing.</p>

<p>The cure for most drug-resistant fungal infections is simple:<p>There are 3 common anti-fungals: clotrimazole, miconazole, and tolnaftate.<p>For external fungal infections (e.g. toe fungus,) the area can be kept dry if you use powdered anti-fungals.<p>For internal fungal infections (e.g., vaginal infections) is is not possible to keep the area dry, so don't try to keep it dry.<p>The cure is to rotate among the 3 common anti-fungals and keep the area dry if possible.<p>The first problem is that, most people in the USA do not know that powdered clotrimazole is available by prescription.<p>The second problem is that this course of treatment is illegal in the USA. US law prohibits doctors from advising patients to take OTC meds (powdered miconazole and tolnaftate) with prescription meds (powdered clotrimazole.) Doctors literally spend years advising their patients on methods they know will not cure their infections, because it is illegal in the USA to explain what will cure it.</p>
