On an article about healthcare costs in the US... I hope you understand why I got confused, sorry about that.

by vilmosi 10y ago
I would have thought poor people are more likely to do that because they can't afford the upfront cost of the phone. I mean, I don't have any data, feel free to prove me wrong. But when I was a poor student, I wouldn't even

I'm just replying to the comment above, not the article.

Sorry if I came across a bit direct. It's just that your own numbers show that 2/3 poor people own a smartphone, compared to 4/5 in general (in the US). That's not a luxury item by any definition. And you're not inc

The quote literally said "that NEW iPhone".

All you said is that the OS is different, not that it's more difficult...

The aqueducts and pyramids are way older than this though.

That $200 iPhone comes with an expensive contract, that has a non-insignificant monthly cost. And we all know the quote wasn't referring to second hand iPhones.

What are you talking about?! BILLIONS of people have smartphones. It's not such a new and expensive tech anymore.
280.
by vilmosi 10y ago
Most people buy $200 iPhones with massive monthly bills, at least in the US. I don't know if that changed yet.

Well having a non-iPhone is not really a "miserable" existence...

You're conflating an iPhone with a smartphone...

Poor people aren't necessarily stupid. Seriously...

by vilmosi 10y ago
No, it's not all the same to Republicans. They know poor people have Androids. Which is the whole point of this thread. Why do some poor people have an iPhone?

Marketshare is similar to the US at around 20% http://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/new-zealan...

Way lower than 25% actually.

Don't get me wrong, it's terrible and unnecessary that this happened to her, but it's not like she didn't know beforehand this would happen or be able to avoid it.

I think she was the one not making enough money, not the husband. I think, these laws can get very complicated.

Angular 1 as well... With no angular specific code either... It is an old article though.

I don't get your point. I also think choice is overrated when it comes to treatment. Having a treatment is more important.

by vilmosi 10y ago
Well I'm glad I understood where we disagree. I think nutritional waste is worse than wasting money, you obviously think the opposite. I also think it's worse to order something to throw it away deliberately. I guess the old sayin

It's not trying again if you keep changing the point. Is your problem that I used calories as a way to measure the value of the food? Should I have used price? That's not valid in my opinion. Wasting a spoonful of expensive caviar

Your Dutch friend is misinformed. She doesn't need any earnings to apply for permanent residency (talking from experience).

Are you asking me if the 50% figure is accurate? Because it is.

by vilmosi 10y ago
I said none of things

by vilmosi 10y ago
That you are incredibly wasteful if you throw away 50% of the calories you buy. Go to a place that sells a naked burger without lettuce if that's what you want.

I don't think having a drinking culture means drinking while programming. Quite the opposite actually.

Choice of what? I don't really care what brand my antibiotics are. Whether the government pays for it via taxes or me out of pocket, I only care if they work. Same with universities, vacation, labour laws etc...

Nobody is saying you should start drinking if you don't want to, but there are definitely some benefits for social drinking. Lower inhibitions, feeling more relaxed, getting rid of anxiety or just enjoying a good drink. Again, not for
