Even though I had subpar due diligence that resulted in a almost-decade-long-contractor's wife not having any official channel to contact her husbands employer, this made me feel really bad. This is so fucking embarrassing and full of

My apologies. Argument still stands.

People have a tendency to confuse this kind of business decision as something philanthropic, as if the great people of Kansas need this more than they will tolerate it. Non-story.

You strike me as one of the people in the "even if it saves one life" camp. The type of person who encounters the trolley problem and asks "can we just play a different game?"

You're probably right. You must be the other guy.

Energy consumption? Myocardial infection? What are you blabbering on about?

I hate to be that guy but if you're dying because the clocks changed and it was too much of a burden for you to re-adjust (like literally everyone else does) then oh well. Policy decisions based on dodgy, whataboutism-esque figures is,

I agree with you man and you would think that would be a given. However, the critical flaw of highly rational actors is that their actions always incur a reality tax, and, more likely than not, they're nowhere to be found when the

I hear you man, but guess what, I'm not a supplier, so again: qui bono . You're argument assumes we have anything close to a healthy economy now. And in another world, you'd be right. However, that not being the case, your a

In a perfect system, you are more correct than you give yourself credit for. This is not that. In case you haven't noticed, a GPU costs more than the rest of the components of a PC combined. And that's because of so-called market

How is oversupply a "crisis" (assuming you're not carrying water for board members)? Would love to have a level headed conversation about this, assuming someone here can address, what is, in my estimation, a non-issue.

This doesn’t seem like the case at all, considering, you know, the fact that they don’t really definitely mitigate anything. In my experience (and this is anecdotal) there’s no rhyme or reason as to why this virus affects some people more t

The amount of attention from a body (nurse, doctor, janitor) that a person who has a serious case of COVID needs, is, at least a few orders of magnitude less "on-hands" than a surgery, any surgery (non-essential or not; that&#

We need more beds and equipment, not doctors. Sure, they’ll be overworked, but hey, when the going gets tough, the tough get going, don’t they? How about an increased emphasis on putting together the right incentives that ameliorate their

I hear you man. I’m the first person to excoriate bullshit engineer speak, but alas, I am not a CS major. So yes, I agree, API calls will not magically conjure up more healthcare NPCs. Fine. My question has nothing to do with the elastici

The hospital strain point gets made a lot but I have one problem with this. Its been two years: have hospitals or the healthcare industry as a whole made an honest effort at upping the capacity in their facilities? Why would the healthcare

There’s a concerted effort by world leaders to demonize the unvaccinated. I am vaccinated, but as a human being, is this a useful approach?

Hold on there partner. In terms of journalistic integrity The Atlantic is just as much of a PR machine (rather than newsroom) similar to the Times. I don’t know how long you’ve been an Atlantic reader but I can’t, for the life of me, rememb

Let’s call a spade a spade: this is an HN clone for stories about the financial world and their interlocutors. Which is great! But what’s the obsession with risk here and how exactly does that (functionally*) factor into the sites ethos? Al

Interesting. So if everything is all the same and it doesn’t matter at all, then why have fps in excess of 60? Just because? > it looks almost exactly the same What is “ exactly the same” to you? And does it mean the same to me? And can

If you can’t notice your mouse pointer stuttering from one monitor to the next, then I don’t know what to tell you. Maybe one day you will, or maybe you won’t, or maybe you don’t care. And there’s no right or wrong answer so no shade here.

Why wouldn’t an editor want to view the final deliverable in 120fps, if that was an option? I understand there’s no need for it, but have you seen the size of the latest F-150? To quote Jack Nicholson playing Frank Costello in the Dep

We’re going to be having this same tired, pedantic, round-about conversation when Tesla’s routinely decide to take out a family of four because it mistook a plastic bag for an off-ramp. Commenters will show up like clockwork and say shit li

No mention of refresh rates, per usual. I’d like to have a stern word with whatever marketing suit deemed refresh rates in excess of 60 to be a premium feature that only the gaming segment cares about. Even if this monitor is strictly for

The prevailing wisdom throughout the last couple of years was: “ditch your on-prem infrastructure and migrate to a major cloud provider” And its starting to seem like it could be something like: “ditch your on-prem infrastructure and spin u

People will pile in here and argue in all earnestness that stirring the pot and making an earnest, snarky, and (maybe) contentious point out in the open is not an effective manner of brushing up against the “discourse”. But they’re wrong. I
