   I look at 8 year automotive loans, and I wonder- who is about to get screwed. People with jobs at gas stations buying new $30k vehicles. Either inflation is about to get bad, and our parents/Grandparents lose big or deflation happens a

   Not to get too bogged down with details, but this winter she is looking to change EMR systems. The current one is the most expensive/established EMR for her field. Rent is 12,000 dollars of expenses. EMR is almost trivial.

   I don't agree on the private doctor practice. Source, married a dr Worst, worst case, the ~15k/yr in rent, ins, and software put a dent in profits, but if each visit is min 75$, you can figure out how hard it is to break even. Upp

   I'm not sure I can agree. I'll give a few examples. "Free clothing" quality has gone up and become more fitted. Instead of 1 gender neutral size, clothes are by gender, and fabric softer. Stitching seems unchanged. I&#x2

   Until Americans find Physicians (and Pharmacists) as the enemy, it will never happen. They(AMA and APA) are top lobbyists that entrench themselves using monopolistic practices. Sure school can cost 500k, but with 200 to 300k+ per year salar

   I'm not a fan of giving anyone free polution. I was born into a world where people can "litter" in the air without fine. Could we simply consider this littering? If you want to drive a car, you must pay for your own polution

   I'm with you. Mods currate the front page, so everything I read here seems like an advertisement.

   Completely agree. I do not want to restrict any users. Annoying how hard it is to be independent of FAANG control.

    I wonder where they get productivity data. An owner of a company I'm close with found her employee was abusing work from home. This same employee was formerly a Superstar or so we thought. Maybe bad management, but I found myself calli

    The 10k rule got me started programming when I was 17. I don't have a billion dollar app, but I use programming at work to increase my value tremendously. I want to challenge this with having a low value skill, like playing sports, doi

    I'm not sure what an "elite" college teaches that a "regular" college doesn't. Maybe quality of student is better, but the content seems negligible. Heck I find the personalities of young "elite" grad

    I don't understand. Out of every company in tech, Google has made my life fantastic. I don't understand the Google hate, I don't know where it comes from. People don't like getting relevant advertising, but they do like

    Switching browsers is easy. I have 3 on my desktop. This is a non issue for me. But I agree with your premise, Apple has been pulling this for a decade, consumers and developers all lose.

    Can't we use history to figure out what's going happen next? The executive branch turns into a dictatorship (by definition, not slander, and definitely no change to the Constitution or Congress) Taxes will be too high on the masse

    I don't see how that is relevant. If I don't use Apple products, I can't get my apps removed by the Chinese government.

    I'm not sure how Apple does this, but they will promote a negative feature as a positive thing. Then their fan base, or astroturfers will share this idea whenever it comes up. I wonder how we will look back at Apple as we better unders

    To be fair, Apple users consider it a benefit to not have control over their phones. I know right? It's crazy people pay more money for less. I'm not sure how to teach Apple users, they seem to find an excuse for every anti-consum

    I could never trust Apple given their track record. Plus, their hardware is overpriced for what you get. I genuinely have a hard time understanding the appeal. It seems to have the Gucci brand name, maybe integrations but I don't feel

    Apple has bent the knee plenty of times to China. If you really are an Android user, this should not be news. You can put any app on your device. Only Apple restricts you.

    I'm shocked you love a 50,000 dollar car when your last car was 8 years old budget car. Reminds me of comparing this year's iPhone to a no name Android. Op, did you realize you did this?
