The US has the same issue. Because the republican party turned out to be a bunch of fascist fucks, there's no real critique of Obamacare. One of the big changes with the ACA is that it allowed medical networks to turn into regional car

You may have done so inadvertently. With the transition to doc-in-the-box urgent care with NPs with inconsistent training and massive caseloads... your provider is often using ChatGPT. I caught one when i ask ChatGPT something, and then wen

The stories are written for a general audience and often lack detail or nuance. "Promising" doesn't mean "likely". "Possible breakthrough" is not a breakthrough. And it may just mean we learn something tha

By what standard? You basically had side A and B. Now you have a dozen countries that can kick off a nuclear exchange. There’s alot more factors now. The order we have today is really fragile. Especially as Ukraine has bared that the Russia

We didn’t go after TikTok because of PRC propaganda. We wanted a platform for US propaganda.

There’s alot to imaging. When my wife was battling cancer she was getting alot of MRIs and was in a trial for computerized radiology. We got to talk to the radiologist, who showed us the difference between what he found vs the machine. The

The Windows ecosystem is insanely complex. And they supported it, because of the focus on QA and testing the company adopted 20 years ago after the Blaster worm. I have a few pretty awesome teams stuck managing windows. They find bugs all

I made no assertion about the taste of sugar vs. corn syrup. There are a number of products marketed as "Coke", and those products have different flavor profiles. Some use sucrose, some HFCS. It might be formulation, it might be p

Nothing gets gearhead nerds going more than arguing about lubricants and gas. Ask the wrong group of dudes about when to change your oil at breakfast, and they will still be going at dinner.

That was our theory in the office when we taste tested the various cokes. The favorite by far was kosher for Passover coke. At first we thought it was the sugar vs. HFCS, but bottled Mexican coke didn’t fare as well — blind most people thou

COVID and WFH pumped the volume on this. I had very senior person tell me all about the coasters and slackers. It was in the bar of a beach hotel at 11AM on a Tuesday, of course. I think he was on two Teams meetings the whole time as well.

"Help is on the way" from the US is often not a great propositon. Doubly so today. https://reason.com/2026/01/23/the-trump-administration-plans... The US shipped the carrier battle group in the regi

People don’t really understand what this stuff means and create fucked up processes. In a blame focused postmortem you say “Johnny fucked up” and close it. When you are about accountability, the responsible parties are known or discovered i

Definitely possible. It just seems like a very low number considering the hundreds of millions or billions of Windows devices.

Unionism is capitalism. If you are a W2 employee in the United States, you are in a contractual relationship in which you have very limited leverage to negotiate and limited protections. Humans organize together in many different ways for m

Nah, you’re just not reading carefully. You must parse everything about this stuff carefully as the words are always crafted. It’s usually more productive to read with a goal to understand what isn’t said as opposed to what is said. They sa

Your words bro. 10x isn’t linear. The cost iceberg with this stuff isn’t electricity, it’s the capital. Other than Google and Facebook, the big hype players can’t produce the growth required to support the valuations. That’s why the OpenAI

No idea, and not my problem. I’m surprised I’ve been downvoted so much in these comments. I’m not saying OpenAI et al is a good company or good financial scenario, or good investment. The technology is amazingly powerful. Full stop. The con

The fees that fund those protections don’t exist on the debit card. It’s also fundamentally different. There are protections, but they depend on you being aware of the activity to avoid impact. Basically, in the event of fraud with a credit

You’re lucky. My colleague had his skimmed at a gas station and his bank froze his funds, causing his mortgage, car loans and other stuff to bounce. Major PITA.

Dude, I'm getting a shovel factory for practically nothing. I'm easily realizing 5x value on that investment. I'd say for an estate that I am the executor of, it probably saved me $50k in legal fees and other expenses because

There's literally zero platform coverage for rural issues. The hotbeds of liberal politics weren't NYC and Boston 50 years ago -- it was Iowa and Wisconsin. Subsidies today are mostly about stabilizing a few commodities. Dairy is

Nah, I'll move much of it locally when it becomes cost justified to do so. I doubt that the exponential cost explosion day is coming. When the bubble pops, the bankruptcies of many of the players will push the costs down. US policy has

No, he’s saying that he does that. Most people won’t falsely report a car accident to complain about a ride cabbie. In NYC, you have a good handle on cab incidents because the TLC fines companies for failure to comply. There’s no regulator
