In what way?

This seems like a terrible career move. You have one big customer who has full power over you. Soon they’ll get squeezed left and right. The only way I could see this work would be if they could deliver for other companies like Walmart.

Funny that this prediction came true for Soviet Russia :)

It gives me a little hope that the justices sometimes still had their own opinions instead of just following the party line as they often do.

The story how they came to producing sports cars is a fun one.

Let’s hope they don’t make a law specifically for farmers. It should be the same for all goods.

I may live like that if I knew I had a fallback. Homelessness sucks mainly if it's your only option.

Maybe at some point you will notice that once you have more responsibility in one area it will use up all our time and energy and you simply don't have time to learn other stuff on the side. I am in that situation right now and I thin

You may as well call for a worldwide benevolent dictator. A lot of things could go right.

I always think the we should send CS graduates to a bootcamp to get some coding skills. Or send old-time devs so they get up to speed with newer tech. But starting from zero in 12 weeks seems almost impossible except for a few.

I would call this very scary. Soon a single entity can do full surveillance of the whole planet at reasonable cost. what could go wrong?

"They can also cut players." Exactly. That's also why the phrase" let's run government like a business" doesn't work. You can't just lay off 10% of your country's population if they don't pe

Football coaches also don’t have to deal with players that don’t want to be in the team. It’s much more rewarding. You can’t compare The two.

Agreed. If Medicare really pays too little then let’s raise that. But I believe that the current system is much more profitable so they won’t push for raising Medicare in exchange for eliminating the current pricing practices.

There are a lot of things that, if done individually, make sense, but if the whole group does it there is a problem. Leaving your bag behind means that you have to replace it later which costs a lot and takes time. So it makes sense to avoi

"You can't have transparent pricing if medicare comes in and imposed unrealistic pricing. " Why not? You still can publish prices.

You are blaming it on regulation, medicare, malpractice insurance and lawyers. How about also saying that hospital owner, managers and doctors make a killing in this system? They are not victims.

I don't get it either. A lot of people also would find coding as very tedious and boring. You have to be cut out for it.

Non profit hospitals are for-profit for administrators and their friends who run a construction company or similar. A lot of them are very corrupt.

The US health system is full of stories like "Medicare payments are below cost therefore we have to charge other patients more", "International drug prices are too low, therefore we have to charge US prices more", "

Possible. I would say that the shell is even worse than most command line tools. I have started using PowerShell in my Mac and I find it easier to find stuff there then bash. As soon as I don’t use bash for a month I forget all the little o

My problem with bash is that things are not very discoverable. There is so much cool stuff you find out even after ten years of using it daily. I wonder if there is a way to have all its features in a less obscure language.

But when will MS lose interest in this too and do something else? I don’t think it can live as open source without a lot of MS support.

There is no clear choice in windows desktop anymore. Only obsolete or soon to be obsolete options. If I had to do it now my first choice would be to go web based, then qt or WPF. Electron looks very appealing too. Pretty sad but it looks l

In an interview I like to hear "I don't know but let me try" if the person doesn't know an algorithm for example. Some people stop if they don't know the text book answer outright whereas others try to work through
