My impression is that the medical field is mostly increasing the number of new MDs but not the number of residency slots. This means that soon medical school will end up like law school where you can get a law degree but not a job. You nee

The coworking spaces nearest me are priced at 250$/seat /month for the lowest level plan and I am in a cheaper city than most. That doesn't include a desk that's yours, just that you can come in every day and use the spa

It seems to me that it is worth considering that HTTPS is not always a panacea of goodness. We should think about two things. First that almost every firewall out there right now supports https snooping via MITM. Example: https:/&#x2F

The big issue on the adoption front is cost. Basically everyone who has ever tried the vive I own wants to buy one, it's just throwing 800$ after a 1500$ box is a bit steep for most people. I equate it to using an NES back in the day.

It's not their issue to fix. Do you demand Microsoft take action because say Lenovo installs superfish? You make Lenovo fix it instead of a tangentially related company like Microsoft. Same thing here. It's not a Google issue.

Welp. Here is to hoping for AMD's zen. USB audio is nice but it's also nice to not have to buy a new headset or new DAC for my new box. Edit: spec says analog audio over usb so, there's that.
