I do suppose I'm generalizing past what is, strictly speaking, the scope of the story. The fact is, 10 years ago, it was a lot easier to get these meds. More recently, I've had to deal with piss tests, scared physicians, and othe

it's because the patients are running the sanitarium here. the typical cost of legal actions pursuant to a data breach are so low, it doesn't make dollars or sense to give a shit about customer infosec. It's not like we don&#

What exactly do you mean when you say "victimless"?

by pksebben 4y ago
It already is affecting patients with existing prescriptions. Every time I move I have to jump through a series of hoops to get my doctor comfortable enough to prescribe, and I've been on the stuff for well over a decade. For a while,

Yeah, this is indeed one of those life lessons that is inevitable. I just feel like this is the kind of thing you should learn after you've had a chance to pursue your interests enough to turn them into skills. Programming is a joy.

Holy cow. They did say that. We're doomed. If this is how we introduce kids to tech, we can guarantee they bail and do something more intellectually rewarding, like Business Admin or Sales /s For real though, a similar thing n

my understanding was that they were DQed for using github, not hosting there. Which is just bananas. I can't think of a single decent piece of software that doesn't use Version Control, and 99.9999% of the software I know use

it works out just about as well as people are willing to think about it. The point about the Senate is that it's asymmetric representation. The Senate kills bills, and it can be done with a much smaller portion of the voting bloc than

you're wrong. while "conspiracy" isn't precisely correct, the system has been architected, bit by bit, to get between the zeitgeist of public opinion and policy. I've had to explain this to so many folks that as of

Yeah, you do hit on a point here. There are types of business that don't benefit from the same kind of locality that a brick-and-mortar business has, and in those cases, it may be really difficult to become a known entity in a space.

what rankles about these pieces, is that we've seen campaigns like them before, funded by industries that output levels of waste that do make personal consumption relatively insignificant [1] https://theoceancleanup.com&#x

I can see we need to define terms, here. I apologize for any previous misunderstanding. I use advertising in this context to mean: paid signage (physical, digital, mailed, etc) where the business pays a fee with the explicit and unary inten

honestly, the $20/month subscription fee made me raise an eyebrow, especially considering that the likely implementation is "add a prompt that took 5 seconds to write and 20 seconds to tweak to the top of every request".

Because it's not a useful term. It's a piece of political jargon used to dismiss an idea as crackpot. It's meaning isn't specific and will change depending on who's using it and in what context. I'll weekend my

Yeah, for real. the whole "I'm smarter cause I'm jaded" schtick is old as hell. We tried it in the 90s. it was just as dumb then.
