Even from a realpolitik standpoint, there is benefit on showing consistent adherence to an ethical code. It encourages other actors to follow that same code as well. When we violate our own morals and values, we can't expect others to

Can we get specific? What company and salesperson made what claim? Let's not disregard interesting achievements because they are not something else.

Thanks. It's frustrating to be completely misunderstood, and I appreciate hearing from someone who was able to follow the nuance.

He's not intentionally sensationalist, he's just flat out wrong. An uninformed piece like this does not belong here IMO without heavy context provided front and center.

I agree with you that the Fundamental Attribution Error typically wins the day. If people are making a mistake, find the systemic solution. But, it's critical to include Education as one of the potential components. If false readings a

Agree. The linked FDA recall said the 7 deaths are "associated", which could just mean contemporaneous. This article is written by a new diabetic who doesn't seem to understand the disease very well yet, and is sensationalist

> trust the body to clean up the mess This is what I'd like to understand better, rather than operate on trust. A couple of other commenters have shared good context.

Dumb question, but isn't there a risk of spreading cancer causing proteins throughout the body with this approach?

Does anyone else agree with this the premise of this article? Is it sensible to put off building things now because it will get even cheaper and faster later? Maybe the time value of time is only increasing as we go.

Can you share any details? A teammate wants to change primary identifiers to a GUID, but I'm not sure it's a good idea.

It makes a ton of sense in theory. In a fair market, you would want to prevent the insurer from charging super high premiums that let them make a large profit relative to the cost of care provided. The problem is that it doesn't stop t

This is the same mechanism behind addiction (IMO, not a psychiatrist). The sustained attention becomes a feedback loop death spiral. Certainly the case for "light" addictions like caffeine, smoking, gambling, etc.

Are you being serious or is this satire? What an odd perspective to share on Hacker News. We're a bunch of nerds that take pleasure in understanding how things work when you take them apart, whether that's a physics concept or a w

> working with a junior developer who may or may not be drunk or tired and doesn't tell you. Bad news, friend. Overall though, I think you're right. It's a lot like working with people. The things you might be missing are

You don't think it's because wealthy older folks are nostalgic for their youth and have money to spend? Seems like there is plenty of variety, just nobody telling everyone what specifically to listen to.

It's funny, I generally agree with you, but this reminds me of old people complaining about rock music. Maybe the cacophony is the point, it's not to our taste, and we don't get it. But maybe it's also less and less our

And yet not everyone does. And even if you have everyone free housing, not everyone would take it. So now what? When you ignore a homeless person, you are depersonalizing them on some level. If you saw every homeless person as a some or a d

Something is going on here. If the company and team is excited about hiring you, there will typically be some flexibility unless you are already coming in at the top of their range, or above. In which case they should be telling you so, and

I get that you are judging me for my perspective or past perspective, and that's your right (please don't deny it, just own it, it's fine). I don't think it's a cultural barrier. It's how many humans are genera
