I hope so too. However, it is currently a problem.

Not a doctor, but familiar with some of the arguments. Visible use of checklists damages patient trust. You may (correctly) argue that patients who see their doctors following checklists should trust them MORE rather than less, but most dat

In the US, at least, "doctor shortages" are caused by insufficient capacity upstream. Some combination of not enough medical schools and not enough licenses issued. Which happens because existing doctors are not incentivized to fl

If it is impossible for you to drive legally - say, for example, you are blind - that does not permit you to then drive illegally.

"It's impossible for me to follow the law" is not a valid defense.

Perhaps not adequate, but a hell of a lot less inadequate than "got a job in the government bureaucracy" or even worse, "got elected by the voting public".

>The question is whether the impact he wants to have is something that needs (or deserves) preferential tax treatment. Which is itself really a question about whether the government should be able to spend that money how it likes, or whe

I'm talking about the 32 capital cases referred to in the article. Which are you talking about? The ones you imagine as a symbol of systemic injustice? Or actual cases?

Going after polygraphs as an employment test would be a huge misprioritization borne solely out of an ironically irrational hatred of irrationality. Employers can and do ask candidates far more bullshitty things like "are you passionat

Bad evidence having been presented against them does not mean they are necessarily innocent. Their cases did not all hinge entirely upon this one piece of forensic evidence. Although what happened to them was wrong, pardons go too far in th

"Escaping" isn't immoral. Lying is.
462.
by 794CD01 10y ago
That's completely untrue. The 10 commandments only tell you to respect your parents, not "your elders". And they don't condemn lying, merely perjury. Not that they are a great source for morality anyway, but if you'

What's wrong with that? It's not okay to become evil in order to fight evil.

So it probably is an age thing. I would answer yes to all but the first, which I never do anyway.
465.
by 794CD01 10y ago
Yes. Just tell them you're not interested or don't answer the door. There's no need to lie.
466.
by 794CD01 10y ago
You can do something productive regardless. It's really baffling how many people seem to treat being put on hold as something that requires you to actively devote time to. Is this an age thing?

If you choose not to do anything else while waiting to speak to a CSR, it's a bit silly to complain.

From my parents, thanks. I fail to see how it's "necessary" in any sense here. Nobody's going to die because I called the company to cancel my account instead of emailing them.

by 794CD01 10y ago
Sorry, I'm not a consequentialist. And if harm is your criterion, what harm is done to anyone by calling customer service to cancel your account instead of lying so you can do it via email?

>Lying isn't inherently wrong. Perhaps not to you. Morality is personal, and to me this comment is abhorrent.

by 794CD01 10y ago
That doesn't make it okay to lie to them. Where did you learn morality? Ancient Babylon?

But he no longer has to care what his boss thinks.

You say that as if "secure until I'm dead" is not good enough for 99.999% of people.

No they don't. American credit cards handle it the right way already with minimal technology around security. Make a good-faith attempt to validate, but generally treat the transaction as legitimate. If it was not, help law enforcement

That's not a complete complaint. If the password were your brainwaves, why would you still need to reset it? Did someone else steal your brain and you need to make sure they no longer have access?

Unfortunately, child abuse is, in fact, rampant among musicians. Want to try a different argument?

That's great. People got to their destinations faster with the same level of risk as before.

That's a popular theory of how people behave but it doesn't play out that way. People overwhelmingly choose convenience and low price over safety all the time.
479.
by 794CD01 11y ago
People in general don't willingly prioritize their own safety at the expense of convenience. That's why cars beep when you don't buckle your seatbelt. That's why people drink soda and eat fast food.

They don't have to be safer than driving is today. They can be significantly less safe while still being an improvement for society because drivers will be able to focus on other activities while travelling instead of wasting that time
