Tell that to my friend who had already been diagnosed with cancer, was in remission, and had his cancer return undetected for months because Kaiser wouldn't run the tests. He thinks it's ridiculous too.

What are students actually paying for though? A diploma? Or an actual education. It sounds like you're making the case for the former. In that case, why even have grades or work? Why not just give everyone a diploma after four years no

The spray and pray approach is the default even for great coders unless they have contacts that will get them a job with almost no interview in which case none of this applies. As far as coding tests go, they should only be administered to

That's good. If you had Kaiser, as I state above, the doctors won't send you for the test and the cancer will grow undetected. It doesn't matter if you insist they test you, they still won't. If you're lucky they wo

In that case the pharmacy might not be a problem but the doctors will delay the tests for cancer even for existing cancer patients allowing a relapse to grow unchecked for months to save Kaiser money. That's what happened to a friend o

Seriously. People who aren't aware of the current death panel situation and claim that the aca or future single payer healthcare will bring them are incredibly naive, uninformed, and stupid. They sure as hell haven't lost a relati

These PBMs need to be eliminated along with the insurance companies that deal with them. The blame is two fold and this can be seen as a conspiracy to commit murder. Maybe not legally, of course, as these companies (pharmacy and insurance)

So if the cash price is five hundred something can the lady in the story decide to pay that now instead of her insurance deductible? If not why not?

Other than the background (which apparently can be blurred in some software) this is another main reason for audio-only calls. I should be able to be judged by my words and actions not by what you think my reaction is. That's a huge ad

How can you possibly have a fair trial this way? It's impossible. I hope this guy wins his appeal. It's incredible that the courts are now more despicable than a murderer and kidnapper in their practices. Let's skip the jury

Video calls are absolutely useless. They add absolutely nothing and make many people uncomfortable. Not to mention the extra preparation needed by the participants to look good. This isn't a beauty pageant. I've been working remot

Collecting and sharing such data as these companies do should be illegal. Applying for credit, signing up for websites, etc should never imply consent and consent shouldn't be required for such things. We need laws to regulate these ou

An app is better than no app at all. Your "can we do better" scenario means that most of the electron apps we currently have would not exist, especially on an os like Linux. Memory is cheap. CPU is cheap. Disk space is beyond chea

Parents should be more responsible and teach their kids about police. One bad encounter can be the end of their child's life. Letting them read things like this without providing a realistic perspective is quite irresponsible, IMO. I g

They are purely for management to feel like they useful and making a contribution when they mostly aren't. And with the stand-up/scrum mindset we get to waste everyone else's time too. I don't have a single example where

This should be called the art of micromanagement. It's complete bullshit. I've worked under such conditions for a few months and I came very close to quitting. I didn't quit because it eventually stopped but I was considering

Ooh a whole $300 a day. Scary. That's $110k a year roughly. Pocket change for either the hospital or the insurance companies should they wish to not disclose these prices. That's if they even survive a court challenge and if the d

How about we regulate corporate emissions[1]? That could actually have an effect that slows down climate change. Individual actions are almost irrelevant by comparison other than making people feel smug and good while the planet is going to

I really hope this can be done without the help and with the actual opposition from countries like the US, Hungary, Poland, and the other fascist or pseudo fascist countries opposing it. I highly doubt it though. I think what we need to sta

You were taught wrong things. Most cultures value things outside of work much more and are therefore able to enjoy then more. Not to mention that discipline and hard work most often don't lead to success. There are many disciplined, ha

What? Banks stealing from their customers? Why never. But seriously, who is surprised? That's what banks do. They steal. They steal small amounts in wrong fees. They steal huge amounts in bailouts. They steal medium amounts in between.

What about 1 to 3 meals starting at 2pm to 5pm for 6 hours? I'd be interested to know how that compares. It seems without that data, it's not possible to conclude at all that eating earlier in the day is better than later.

Sounds like good news for everyone, including casual FB investors like myself. The quicker this platform dies, the better. It is a cancer on our society, our government, and all its people including those who don't use it. And not just

Yet another reason I don't plan to buy any Apple computers ever again, especially laptops. They used to have fantastic service. If the logic board was faulty under warranty they would honor that. This humidity sensor seems to be there
