I can’t imagine less surprising news, given the state of HHS right now. RFK Jr. will be responsible for millions of excess deaths, before someone evicts his brain worm-addled self out of DC. But hey, this is the US. We’d rather listen to mo

I think, at some level, one should assume that one’s readers are capable of understanding context and nuance, and that every word won’t be taken literally by the vast majority of readers. You can be mad at the writer, if it makes you feel b

I don’t take it as “I can’t fathom how this happened” so much as “I don’t know, specifically, if I was being investigated, if he was, or if this was just ancillary capriciousness”. Seems weird to immediately assume he’s stupider than you ar

Pure cowardice from Mike Johnson and Chick Grassley, though I guess you can sort of understand why a 91-year old doesn’t care about selling out young people to line his own pockets. It’s too bad young people don’t appear to care about be

Medicare should be cutting reimbursements. It’s the only way to deal with runaway bullshit in a fee-for-service healthcare economy. The real answer is, and always will be, shifting the model entirely away from that to capitated models and

OBs, all mid-levels (for different but similar reasons), specialties… the list goes on. Reimbursements hurt, but none of these people are signing up to work in middle of nowhere OK and MO, when they can find work easily (and get paid better

Lawsuit theater. Unbelievable that this obviously anti-American nonsense still has diehard fans.

Yeah, fairly disappointing. The media loves it, but wish more universities were taking Harvard’s tack (and recognize that that may be harder for public universities with smaller funding banks).

This, for sure. I pump up good people doing good things. No one cares that I think our new time tracking sucks, or that an HR policy sent me over the edge, and they definitely don’t care that I think an SVP in a different department is goin

You “know” based on what? Only one person has submitted evidence. “Trust me bro” ain’t it. How many people-days, specifically, of utilization does a plot of land need before it becomes “used by someone”, in your view? Again, say what you me

How, specifically, is this anything like anything Mengele did? What a fucking bizarre statement.

“that may have been worsened by the immunosuppression.” Fear-mongering bullshit. Why are you this upset about a study you don’t understand, about a condition you don’t understand, using parameters you don’t understand? Solely because it was

Even if you believe that writing is the “easy” part, most developers/technical people are still woefully bad at it. I would say that it is, generally, not easy to describe complex things simply, and people who are naturally adept at

You’d think the right thing to do would be to pick the option wildlife is most likely to use, and that there was research and decision-making that went into that above and beyond “tons of concrete”. Do you think that didn’t happen, that y

So… what? Sell the rest? These are clearly leading questions and statements. Why not simply have the courage to make your actual argument, instead of playing “google this for me” and stupid semantic games?

Wouldn’t that be likely to be taken as identical to having a locked one? I don’t use traditional social media, and never have, and have always assumed that would cause me to “fail” a test like this. (Sorry, I mean this to read as a question

Why do you think the “national electorate” should have any say in California state laws? Is it just a basic lack of understanding civics, or do you think states, cities and local communities should be abolished because people in Alabama sho

Parent had Khomeini when I replied. Khameini, of course, also has absolutely nothing to do with anything and is a nonsensical bogeyman. He just happens to still be alive.

What power, specifically? Overwhelming surveillance of citizens? Whining that people attending universities in the US protested things? Why on earth would anyone think Khomeini (who, of course, has been dead for 24 years) would ever have an

Nailed it. If you let your whole UI, in a consumer application, stagnate, you will lose. Your software could be fantastic, but someone else will build something nearly as good, paint it a “cool” color, and eat your lunch. The idea that phon

The only thing that would be surprising, here, is that this is so transparently obvious and I thought Peter Thiel, as odious as he is, was smarter than that.
