SO.. tell us what would allow a surgeon to start operating in the first place? You simply presented a chicken and egg problem... Does the mediocre surgeon get all the surgeries and therefor become excellent at it?

Let's say you need open heart surgery. Doctor one has a 3.9 GPA from Harvard medical. Doctor two barely passed your state's medical school Which do you want doing your operation? The "meritocracy trap" often caves into &

I did not take a position on unions one way or the other on my post there. As i said, i just found it shocking that "join a union" was their only response. Labour laws impact everyone, union contracts don't.

antiwork started off good but quickly went downhill. I abandoned it some time ago because it is now a "pro-union eco-chamber". I once advocated serious changes to the labour laws are what is needed, and was inundated with "jo

This is a very foolish thing to say. Here (Canada) our nuclear power plants produce tritium as a byproduct. This can be used to "boost" nuclear weapons. Should Ontario Hydro be allowed to sell this in the open market? It goes fo

My experience was also very short lived.. I ran an ethernet cable after fighting with that stupid thing for a few days. i came to realize i've spent more time on it vs running a wire.

This was an interesting read but doesn't make sense. I tried these powerline adapters and found they were very unreliable across the two phases in my own home. By this i mean if i plugged one adapter into an outlet, i had to find anot

All the comments on this thread seem to ignore a basic simple truth. On long road trips with passengers, they often use the glovebox to store things. When we go on road trips the kids rotate sitting in the passenger seat. They store their

You seem unaware that a car's glovebox door is made out of plastic and usually has just a single "hook" style latch? Thief's who break windows to get into cars carry tools.. your glovebox is NOT secure. Lastly, you seem

Because on long trips, passengers NEVER use the glovebox? When I go on long trips, my passenger often reads, uses their phone and store these things in the glovebox when we are stopped. It is a convenient storage box right at their disposa

This is a pretty decent list but is missing two core components 1) Firewire 2) All the assorted dongles over the years. If you go back far enough, apple was known as the dongle company. You just needed one more dongle to get things to work
