“ They'd just invest more in not having to reverse on appeal” That would be the goal. Get it right first time around.

“ because if you don't have health insurance you probably can't pay 5x what the insurance companies pay, so will be bankrupted anyways” Or it could go the other way depending on arbitrary factors. Nobody knows.

Single payer or not but I think everybody should agree that dealing with health insurance needs to be easier and more predictable. When I read the stories of how people won against them, it's always mind boggling to see the giant effor

Medina is special. It’s hard to understand that this guy hasn’t been fired already. Instead they just gave him a 100k SUV. It always amazes how low the standards for police are in the US and the things they get away with.

The new menu would actually be quite ok if you could configure what’s on the main menu and what’s on “More”. The old menu has a ton of stuff I never use so in theory it would be nice to push that to a secondary menu. But the UX geniuses hav

Good! I look forward to not being able to adjust a lot of settings and a slower UI.

"nothing is safe, always hire a professional" Very true. I used to do much more myself but this culture has really gotten to me. Trying to fight it at the moment.

This is starting to be silly. What's next? - "Google Docs" allowed me to write death threat letters. - My Brother printer allowed to print them. - The postal service delivered them - My Sony camera allowed me to take nude pic

"Ban corporate self insured policies so that the risk pools are unified to contain everyone." There should be only state or nation wide risk pools.

Has anything good ever come from the Chamber of Commerce? They did whatever they could do kill Obamacare, they are constantly against environmental regulation and now this. Such a terrible organization.

I spent some time in East Germany when the wall was still up and often think that a corporation is run like a communist planned economy. 5 year plans, lots of internal propaganda, rewards for following the plan, no tolerance for dissent, di

I think the key is to have leaders that have passion for the product and aren’t just interested in making profits and increasing stock price. When you look at people like Gates, Jobs, Musk, Huang, they are cutthroat businessmen but they als

The whole system is corrupt and overpriced. Hospitals, insurers, PBM and many others make a lot of profit by ripping off patients.

We also spend around way more per capita on health care than any other country. I bet both health care and defense expenditures could be reduced significantly if they were run with at least a little efficiency and less profit making by midd

Headlines like this show the branding power the big schools have. If it's one of the big ones the headline is "<School name> scientists do X". If it's a small or international school, it's "Scientists do

UberEats gift cards are the ultimate passive aggressive “fuck you”. To use them, you need to spend at least another 10 to actually get something

Totally agree. You don’t even need two years. A few weeks is enough. I remember the Biden situation as him holding on for as long as he could and then basically being pushed out. But when you read a lot of NYT commenters you start to believ

Yeah. Tooltips are a big loss. They would be so easy to implement but nobody seems to care anymore.

I think in general we are losing a lot of functionality especially since the phone UIs are slowly creeping into the desktop. Discoverability and consistency are simply horrible compared to how things worked around 2000. I think it's a

There will be a lot of obvious stuff invented in the future that we aren't thinking about now.

This happened to me with an XML based rules engine I wrote. First I needed conditions, then I introduced variables, then loops, then if-then-else. When I needed to handle errors, I realized that I just had invented something like BASIC in X

4mph per hour hiking is pretty fast. I can do maybe 3.5 without starting to jog.

by rqtwteye 2y ago
That's my experience too. When I hike in the mountains there are places where I can run for a while without getting tired and gain a lot of time. Usually it's the slightly downhill sections. Wouldn't want to fall there though

We need to do basic science even if there is no direct benefit visible at the time. There were times when electricity was just a party trick, there was no practical use for electrons or relativity for a while. It may take decades or longer

Makes me wonder what happens if a self driving car kills somebody because of a fault on the vehicle software or hardware. Can the big corporation behind it just pay a fine and nobody else will get prosecuted? How do you prove that a corpora

I would like an IDE that saves files in a consistent format but displays the code in whatever style the user prefers. This shouldn’t be hard to do and would help version control a lot.

True. In many cases the self-correcting cycles of markets may take decades or centuries.

Exactly. In many cases these non-profits are as greedy as for-profit.
