Thanks for the useful reply. I really enjoyed your deep analysis of my post.

Here's the thing. At the end of the day all of the "complexity and nuance" of running a business doesn't matter. The only way you even get to execute on that is if you're flanked by good engineers. All roads lead to

I would be very curious how a doctor or nurse could use programming to improve their jobs. Aside from a conduit of fun brain teasers which may have some ancillary benefit...every doctor and nurse I know spends almost no time in front of a c

Being stuck is part of the job. Most of my unhappiness stems from a few things: 1. Time pressure. I can't develop code that works right. I am not talking about perfect performant portfolio work but as a backend developer many times I c

A little nanny-state-ish? Proposing licensing for this is akin to proposing licensing for nearly anything else that requires a modicum of personal responsibility. I'm not here to defend the casinos but this proposition is crazy and I&#

I doubt the people who are literally responsible for deciding who to drone strike with meta data from things like this are going to suddenly turn around and decide "well, we definitely don't want that for our citizens". Thi

And like all things, it flows from the intelligence agencies, to the military, to the police so that it can be used on citizens. This is about as close to minority report level precognition as we can attain in this century. I can imagine a

The partisan debate is related to green energy. By and large it's insufficient for now. The very same progressives who slam coal power also slam one of the greatest forms of green energy - nuclear. Solar efficiency is only ~17%, wind i

It took a while to scroll to find this. I'm glad someone has read the actual reports. All of these campaigns aimed at the everyman will do almost nothing to avert climate change. To actually impact it, companies and the ultra wealthy n

Why is it the grapefruit juice company's responsibility to let you know about your drug interactions? The cost to reprint labels is non-negligible and a tiny warning on the back is only going to be read by someone who ALSO reads their

In America, for as long as I remember grapefruit juice interactions are both listed on the bottle and on the pamphlet you receive every single time you get a prescription (renewed or new). We can't put billboards up for everything. It

OP, I have been programming since I was a kid. I was fortunate to grow up in a time before social media took over and internet was still for weird people. Viewed externally I wasted a lot of time on the internet. I played a LOT of video gam

It’s actually related. While the system itself may be broken the healthcare, when available, is second to none in the world. This, once again, owing to the exorbitant amount of money spent on healthcare both by the public and the government
