Ive seen medical attempt to sell me extra services within their hospital network with my kid. 2000$ to fix Tongue Tie with surgery. Laser procedure is 600$ and done at a dentist. The ($200-300k/yr) physician said there was data surgery

Feel free to correct or add. I'm genuinely trying to figure out where I'm wrong.

I've tried very hard to understand what benefits a MacBook has over Windows/Linux. I've boiled it down to- it can compile iOS apps, and you can use Unix commands. The first is Apple intentionally being anti competitive, the l

I've started recycling at least 1 extra use out of everything, but I'm concerned this will not be sustainable. Boxes I stack in my (large) garage. One day I will use these boxes again. Plastic Tupperware from various sources, clea

My most frustrating thing about the crypto movement was how uneducated people were. People had no idea that POW isn't scalable, yet would insist that a Bitcoin copy-paste would solve the problem. Or that a centralized coin was the futu

I'm a fan of this idea. Reddit is a corporate cesspool where marketing teams do "reputation management". Today, You might think someone is sharing a deal on groceries, but in reality Aldi has carefully planned a post, buying

I'm more curious how a 12 year self taught programmer can make 6 figures. My Engineering job pays too well to jump into software

Shouldn't moments like this be death blows? I had totally thought after Apple and Microsoft were caught working on PRISM Americans and corporations would be doing drastic steps to avoid their communication being intercepted. But for so

This is the ethics of Tesla. They are marketing primarily, function second. My biggest concern is that since the company isn't profitable(?) That these highly risky things are acceptable. Other profitable auto companies cannot be this

Any chance Apple would make it possible to compile an iOS app without giving Apple any money? I want to support my customers, but I don't want to support anti competitive FAANG

It's exactly how it sounds. Reddit loads in 1s on chrome and 30s in Firefox. I used to blame my computer for not having enough free space, but now that I have 200GB of SSD free, I suppose I need to blame the software at some point.

My Firefox install is at least 30x slower than chrome. Is this my fault? It's what prevents me from using Firefox.

Counter points- There is no telling if it will actually save time. You could be messing with configurations, have to learn their docs, etc... Or future migration could be expensive in both time and money. The cost savings can/do exist.

My biggest concern is being dependent on these systems, the systems changing, and it breaking the process. I have the mentality of self hosting and diy, cheap, better understanding, and imo more reliable. Most these services have a learning

People defend the walled garden of Apple. But I think it's just post purchase rationalization.

I used to have this mentality until I tried hiring minimum wage workers. Minimum wage workers are extremely low quality. They have 0 skills and require education on everything. Sure Engineers need to learn too, but there's a gigantic d

Very risky to be a developer for a walked garden. If Apple does Apple things, they might make it harder and more expensive to develop. You might be a great programmer, but your company may not want to build native iOS apps.
