Exactly. And my first response is to ask that person to hand be their unlocked phone. I promise to keep anything I learn secret. They care about their privacy, no one elses.

While true, the are a government organization susceptible to political influence. We could greatly shrink the number of accidents with some very low tech requirements like mandatory full lights and headlights at all times if the car is in g

The point is that they can be caught and then prosecuted. It won't stop it but it makes it harder. People will always break the law. The point is to make that harder and have a punishment for doing so. We need better laws to prevent la

Most of it is the Bluetooth SIGs fault. It has got away from them. It reminds me of SMTP or HTTP, it is so useful that people couldn't wait for things and just implemented and added whatever they wanted. No certification is required ju

I think whistle blowers should potentially even be eligible for WitSec. These people are likely giving up their career and ability to provide for their family. This is the least we can do for their service.

Exactly right. The don't want anyone doing what they are busy doing. The nerve of some countries!!! We've away some much privacy just for the lols. We need laws and penalties that give us back our freedom. Unfortunately, given pol

I feel this is a problem in our entire mindset. People so often get confused with the difference between a plan and a goal . One is the what and one is the how. What most people call plans are really just goals. Plans require sufficient da

It seems like you can handle this simpler by just adding a parking tax and a disembark tax. There is already taxes attached to the hotel stay.

I'm not optimistic after they shat the bed on WoT. Turning epic fantasy into visual media content is hard work and they aren't spending the money in the right place. I'll check it out but my expectations are extremely low.

I think that is the issue. Even if the homeschooling is completely online, you are saying that the socialization is now an extra demand placed on parents. We already saw how poorly most handled even getting their kids online for a Zoom or G

The sibling is right but in this case we'd probably do something like Medicare + 20%, which is actually close to what most insurers do for some of the codes already. It just removes the cost of negotiation, brokers, out of network, e

We really need to move to reference based pricing. We can cut so much waste out of the current system including brokers. Reference based pricing also get rids of the loopholes for things like anesthesiologists being "out of network&q

There is so much privilege in this statement. I can only assume that no part of your gender/sexuality/race/religion/etc has ever been illegal or called an abomination or that you aren't a "real" person wit

One could easily argue that if an animal isn't safe to be left alone with children 6 and under that it is a very bad choice for a pet. Kids would have fun playing with a tiger cub too. Just get a cat.

Yeah, I saw a post that said the US has become "Chrisitian" Saudi Arabia and it is hard to argue that it hasn't (or won't be very very soon). Just look at the $2B payoff from one Saudi country to another.

Like most things, follow the money. How do you get people to care about the same sermon on the same verse year after year? Want to get people involved with their time and money? You just have to convince them of whatever evils they already

Sure you can. They don't care about farmers because farmers are a smaller percentage of their business each year. When Private Equity buys all the mega-farms, they won't care about having to rent tractors from JD. Actually, they w

Yeah, it seems like we'd be safer with groups just being a convenience layer on top of peer-to-peer messaging and when you send to the group you are always just sending N messages to the group as you know it at that moment.

Exactly this. It is all about click bait to drive digital advertising. It is largely our own fault. We (by and large) don't want to pay good journalism. We want it to be free which means ads. NPR/PBS tends to have better and more

That isn't a great reason to dump Tesla. A good reason to dump Tesla is that Ford and Toyota are poised to run them out of business. Between the fires and the "autopilot" crash issues and price and production delays, Tesla

I can only speak to where I went to school, but even now, 90% of kids ride the bus. I'm not sure how school can start at 10:00 if the parents have to be there to get an 8 year old safely on the bus but somehow still make it to work by

Snark doesn't solve problems. When I was in middle school, it was a 45 minute bus ride. The same bus had to drop us off at 7:30 am so they could get back in time to pick up the elementary kids and get them to school on time. So the bus

It isn't quite as bad as you paint but there is truth in what you say. This is simply Goodhart's Law in action. We've made fee for service the model which means the only way to make money is to see more patients. Pumping pati

My understanding is that land plants are probably doing better. However, the acidification of the oceans is the real problem. Despite what most people think, at least half of our oxygen comes from marine plants. The main concerns it that co

Mentorship is about more than writing "great code". I'm 6 months at a new place as an old . I've already imparted a lot of lessons about working with difficult team members, picking your fights, how to let go of "p

Well said. We are having a similar "fight" where I work now. Way too much premature optimization. I think the one concept that takes a while to really understand is to focus on separation of concerns. It is far too easy to get e

I don't think we'll ever have safe CGM that isn't minimally invasive. Proteins are weird and you really need to measure blood, not a picture of blood through skin. We are only recently getting CGMs that don't need freque
