When the topic in question is how one of the most powerful companies on Earth chooses to use its power we should strive to always be this cynical. Skepticism of concentrated power is the ur-American political belief. We seem to have forgott

I'm seconding scarejumba's position here. Doctor's are enormously powerful and effectively unionized through the AMA. They can influence both the operations of hospitals and the American government itself. Like any aristocrat

The good thing is that the USB-C ecosystem is open and a wide variety of known, vetted OEMs have stepped up to serve it. USB-C to Lightning cables are still expensive because Apple hasn't opened the connector up for MFi certification y

I came back to this post after reading the article. I'm curious, why was this post flagged off the feed? It's a piece from a publication whose posts are routinely shared on Hacker News. Was it the subject matter of the article?

This didn't even need the shameless plug disclaimer. The bulk of this is just good stuff to help you build a mental model for: 1. What therapy is 2. How therapy fits inside a broader context of other kinds of practice - counseling, psy

I share your opposition to quantification for things that are so deeply human, but without a number scale or strict ranking, I suspect that if we asked ourselves whom among our group of friends we seek out for support and uplift there would
