Was the ACA a good idea, or not? Can it be improved upon, and if so, how? How is the implementation of the ACA better than single-payer, and if not, why not? If single payer, similar to other OECD countries would be better, how could we get our country to go there, given the disagreements and reluctance to go as far as we have? Why are so many people opposed to health care for everyone--what is possibly gained by the...
why is it a good idea to use a calorimeter constant for the calorimeter? How much error is introduced by not using a calorimeter constant in your calculations for the specific heat?
What would be a good experiment idea relating to how pH affects the solubility of a substance, relating it to Ksp?
IBM has a computer it calls the Blue Gene/L that can do 201.4 megacalculations per second. How many calculations can it do in a microsecond?
Intermediate Econ - If anyone has any idea on how to do this problem set, can you show work or explain how you got answer if possible, thanks! 1. Jack has the utility function u(x, y) = 2x+√y. He is indifferent between two allocations. The first allocation gets Jack 3 of x and 4 of y. The second allocation gets Jack z of x and 9 of y. (a) What is z? (b) If Jack is offered the choice between...
How should regulators view mergers, especially between suppliers and customers? Is it a good idea to discourage vertical mergers (between tire companies and cars for example)?

Recall the pseudocode from lectures for identifying a good VLSI chip. The idea can be reused to finding the majority item in a list, where the majority is defined by the element in a list of size n which occurs at least n/2 + 1 times. Write a linear-time program to find the majority element in an array. What is the invariant of your loop? What is the variant of your loop? Explain why your design has linear time performance....
1. Introduced by IBM with its System/360, the _________ is a set of computers offered with different price and performance characteristics that presents the same architecture to the user. 2. A large number of general-purpose registers, and/or the use of compiler technology to optimize register usage, a limited and simple instruction set, and an emphasis on optimizing the instruction pipeline are all key elements of _________ architectures. 3. The difference between the operations provided in high-level languages (HLLs) and those...
An electrical device has two components, A and B. Each component can be "good" or can be in a "shorted" or "open-mode" failure state. Let's assume that component A has probability .6 or being good and probability .2 of being in each of the failure states, and that component B has probability .7 of being good, .2 of "open" failure, and .1 for "shorted" failure. Furthermore, we assume the two components function independently. Current can pass through a device if...
