The US is also extremely segregated, and a substantial percentage of black Americans live in those confederate states that have not expanded Medicaid yet. Texas has a higher maternal mortality rate than Iran. Geography is a greater determin

I kept the same PCP at an Ivy League affiliated medical center. I had to see a couple specialists, no issues whatsoever with them accepting insurance. It might vary by state, but that's not my experience whatsoever. Private insurance p

If you're unemployed, you almost certainly qualify for Medicaid in 41 states. It's the best insurance money can't buy. It covers everything. You pay for nothing. In fact, it's illegal to charge you for anything. Balance

I agree with you broadly, and despite their abhorrent reputation for sourcing unethical animal products, it does seem that you're right about McDonald's fish. However, on a larger scale, one of the hidden ethical pitfalls is that

Threads (1984) has the same effect. On the bright side, it's a great antidote for anyone who's falling too deep into the prepper rabbit hole. YAGNI.

There are several doomsday movies that predate The Road, were better at the time, and hold up far better today, IMO. Children of Men (2005) would be my top suggestion. The rare movie I've gone back and watched multiple times. You know

The only similarity is that China holds corporate executives accountable. The idea isn't to backdoor every company like the CCP or the NSA and leave them sitting ducks, it's to make them close the backdoors. The country I'd p

I think it'll be a lot shorter than 100 years. It didn't take 100 years for the British empire to collapse. It showed its weakness during WWII, and the Suez crisis put the old dog out of its misery a mere 10 years later. Chernobyl

Good leadership is more art than science. My critique of Taylorism was not directed at individual managers, by any means. It's firmly at that bean-counter view of the worker, as an input of "human resources" to be minimized a

I don't believe professional engineers are held liable for a legacy bridge that they can't get funding to repair, or a project that was built in violation of their specifications by a corrupt contractor. They're only held lia

I'll take it a few steps further than you. Legislation won't fix it. Until the military is authorized to start up a new branch of the military to redteam corporations, nothing will ever change. If they don't patch immediately

Taylorism is a current problem. All "modern" management pseudoscience boils down to the same ideas Taylor espoused at the turn of the century. His name lives on because this man was absolutely reviled by his contemporaries, even

I suspect Apple would be perfectly content if they never sold another Mac Pro. I suspect most Mac Pros manufactured are for internal use. Their main products don't have a GPU, so neither does this. It already had an F-U price. Whatever

If you're locked into containers as the solution, the answer to your problem is docker-compose. But verify that assumption first. Why containers and not VMs? VMs solved this particular problem years before anyone had ever heard of Dock

I suspect it isn't so simple to fix the first example in the way you describe, because Python's a 30+ year old language with functions as first-class citizens. If we went back in time and built it from scratch to remove this wart,

I think there’s nuance to be had here. Terms have been overloaded, and individuals aren’t necessarily acting in bad faith. ML can be considered to be a subset of AI. That being said, ML is extremely boring to me, and I really do think a lot

I don’t like the idea of giving Reddit mods even more power, at all. I’d much rather see users empowered to share Usenet style kill-lists and whatnot. But I have a bad feeling that my desired Goldilocks zone between 2023 Reddit’s overmodera

I strongly believe the tech just wasn’t there 10 years ago. It shouldn’t have taken as long as it did to make a modular laptop, but making some ten billion smartphones (and the constant drive to make them ever thinner and smaller) made it

Stability and update frequency are inversely correlated. It’s largely an unavoidable trade-off. It makes perfect sense to me that you’d feel that Fedora struck a better balance for you. Many people prefer Debian based distros. Some people u
