> That’s why iPhones cost so much. I don’t see why they can’t just sell phones and let people decide on software if they want. Three things come to mind: 1. Supporting a diverse ecosystem is hard and expensive. 2. It's easier to bui

Same here. I like the walled garden. I like the curated experience. As far as I am aware, me liking these things for my phone and subsequently voting with my wallet doesn't prevent someone else enjoying another ecosystem that doesn&#x2

I used to work for Pivotal before its acquisition by VMWare and one of the ops person told me that the town halls became a lot less interesting once the company went public and employees are usually the last ones to know with respect to ins

Terraform Core is open source and free. TFE and Terraform Cloud (aside from the capped free version) are not. Terraform still needs bit of help when you want to run production grade: state-locking (dynamodb) state-storing (s3) workspace&#x2

Yes. But PAs and NPs lack the training and will more likely give referral for the wrong things or provide worse clinical care. Management did the same thing with offshoring engineering. It's akin to saying, "competent engineers wh

The solution was to pump out physician assistants (PAs) and nurse practitioners (NPs) that require a fraction of the training of a doctor to get licensed, and then have them practice medicine under the “supervision” of a doctor. This is my

I personally loved Give Life Back to Music! How can you not like the guitar riff?

Agreed. It also means that the justice system cannot ever make a mistake unless one is ok with "legally killing" an innocent person.

I'll also add that these private institutions are often very wealthy and people who need/want the aid will rarely pay the full sticker price. I went through my undergrad (private south ivy) with $20K subsidized loans that was paid

Your point about this reminds me of this scene in Office Space: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_1lIFRdnhA This movie really spoke to me during the pandemic and I'm guessing it has for many others as well. That being

As Ron Swanson says, “Give 100%. 110% is impossible. Only idiots recommend that.” I used to spend 80 hours a week at past startups because that was required and I wanted to move out of help desk support. There were various moments during my

I know it's highly unpopular thing to say but A10's are also failing at their own role. Its main gun cannot achieve penetration against modern armor and their armor cannot survive against modern AA.

Paper pretty much confirms that calorie differential is what matters the most when it comes to weight loss. I think it'll be interesting to see the results (especially in terms of compliance) when you also add timing of eating (IF) and

I think divestment of the A10s make sense. Those Fairchild frames are super dated and ill-suited for battles against peer adversary.

Huh. That's a very interesting find. It's been a while since I took Astronomy and Physics but I thought you get black hole after massive stars fuse all lighter elements up until [Fe]? It must have pulled enough lighter elements in

I feel for you. I stopped after discrete math and analysis-lite class but I wish I took more algorithm and higher level math classes to be better at my craft. It's also hard to take classes when you have competing priorities when you&#

I agree with you on this point, especially the part about rote memorization. I feel like when you get exposed to calculus for the first time, you're almost expected to accept the definitions for what they are (central limit theorem, et

It's absolutely mind-boggling that the administrators try to establish "equity" by pushing all students down, instead of them up. I suspect part of it is driven by the fact that it's cheaper and easier to meet metrics an
