While I knew a few who successfully worked full time at large legal firms, I once worked full time for a smaller firm (about 60 staff). Never again. I left after 6 months and vowed to never work for a law firm again. Life is too short and there is plenty of opportunity out there for talented people.

The ironic thing is that my experience was nearly 20 years ago. While so much has changed in the last 20 years (in Internet time, that's like 400 years, and I have more RAM in my phone than the Unix server supporting 40 users on serial terminals), some things haven't, especially where humans and the legal profession are concerned.

I don't intend to paint all attorneys with the same brush--I now have good relationships with several attorneys that I use for businesses; I still would seriously question any job working for a legal firm.

> So long shifts are due to errors ? I hardly see the logic in that...

There is no logic in that, i'm not sure why you asserted that. I noted that long shifts reduce handoff errors.

Consider two scenarios: Scenario 1: 8 hour shifts:
Doctor 1 hands off to Doctor 2 at end of 8 hrs
Doctor 2 hands off to Doctor 3 at end of 16 hrs
Doctor 3 hands off to Doctor 4 (or perhaps 1) at end of 24hrs

Each handoff is a game of telephone. In theory it should not be, but in reality it is. Details are missed, directions mangled, and risk accrued. Just like a technical design document going from a product manager to the development lead to the developer...things go wrong in the process.

Just like with tech teams where each added person creates overhead and waste from communications overhead and mis-aligned understanding of requirements, hospitals face the same issue. Unlike technology, you dont just push a fix and rebuild -- an error such as forgetting to record a symptom on the binder/EMR could mean mis-diagnosis or death. Shifting to 12-hours shifts means just two handoffs instead of three. You dont eliminate errors, but you reduce them. In some sense, it may be better to have 4 days of 12-hour shifts than 5 days of 8 hour shifts.

Of course, this is just one aspect of medical errors. There are others which may be brought on by increased shift lengths. We'd need to look at the total sum.

Regarding your other point:
> In every country except maybe Switzerland, residency programs last 3-5 years, whatever the number of hours worked per week,

That makes no sense. If that were the case, residents would choose to work an hour a week and easily graduate in 3-5 years. But that would make for a poor doctor, as they need a certain # hours of training.
As far as I know, working hourly is one of the many steps that lead to commoditization.

I don't actually want to do that, I probably shouldn't have worded that comment the way I did.

What I wanted to point out is that a large part of mental illness prevention would be, well, figuring out how to subject people less to situations which create it. It's probably more effective than supplements.
Yes, the EU is ahead, but just like every other part of the future it is unevenly distributed.

Some country in Europe will pioneer a concept, others will follow, some faster some slower. The US usually catches on long after the concept has already become normal in a fair chunk of the EU.

As for your constitution, America gets it right on paper, but in practice God (the Christian one) is all over American politics, whereas even in Ireland it seems to be less of a day-to-day influence.

Just yesterday I was explaining to a friend that Stallman is not crazy; rather there is a continuum from convenience to freedom and Stallman believes most of us are way too far on the "left", so he goes as far to the "right" as possible to show us we've gone to far. He pays for his freedoms with his conveniences and we pay for our conveniences with our freedoms.

So really you mean the Netherlands are ahead of the US in LGBT rights. I'm curious about what else the US should be doing. How is the Netherlands better?
This answer does not reflect reality in the UK. Party discipline is extremely important in the UK system, maintained by the "whips". Few UK MPs carry their own seat as an individual, although good constituency work can be worth a few thousand votes. One or two have managed to run as independents; Peter Law (ex-Labour protesting against all-women shortlists), Richard Taylor (Kidderminster Hospital).

Tony Blair was notorious for imposing ideological coherence from the top on the Labour party with pagers in exactly the way you are talking about: MPs were expected to keep exactly to the media line agreed by Blair and Campbell, and hide all dissent to avoid "PARTY SPLIT" headlines.

Note how the conservative party managed to campaign against itself for the Brexit referendum and has now seemingly zipped that right up again. Although the three Brexit ministers keep issuing daft announcements that have to be countermanded by the PM (this is called "cabinet collective irresponsibility").

It's worth comparing UK parliamentary elections with the regional parliament elections, which are all run on different systems with very different results.

US parties have traditionally been extremely strong. What has happened is that the US rightwing media "bubble" has taken over doctrine and thrown away the doublespeak. Trump is winning because he can say all the unpleasant things that other Republicans feel they have to dogwhistle or hint at.

That seems to be true in the meat world. It probably has been for a long time. Leaders of the world may have the power to end it in a nuclear holocaust, but that's probably the extent of it - a few high-impact things that can be triggered by individuals, because they were deliberately designed like that. As for the rest of stuff, it is my belief that "the economy" runs by itself. We cannot stop it, because the economy is just an aggregate of "what humans do because they're humans". We can influence it by various degrees, but it's more like prodding a complex feedback system and seeing what happens - I doubt there exists a person or group of people who can tell the economy "go there" and the economy will follow.

Been a while since I freelanced, but I found it better to charge per day or preferably, per week or per month.

That way you avoid the problems of charging per project (even if that project is a feature), but avoid the commoditisation of people thinking they can just "grab you" for 3 hours of work.

If you are being paid per week and on day 3 the requirements change, well, it's not on you.
That's because AI - just like "nearly [any]" technology - is a tool. Tools amplify our abilities, and they are not magically limited to only "good" uses (if it is even possible to define a "good use".

A drug is not bad. A drug is a chemical compound.

Modern machine learning techniques can do great things, but they are still just a tool. The problem is when people use AI as an excuse to skip important steps, over generalize, etc.

Sodium batteries[1] could be the answer to grid storage batteries. Sodium can be extracted from seawater (e.g. desalination plants, there's a huge supply of salt readily available), and while it's heavier than lithium, it's chemically similar. It's heavier weight probably makes it less suitable for transport, at least initially but ideal for grid storage if/when they figure out how to produce the batteries commercially.

[1] https://news.cnrs.fr/articles/a-battery-revolution-in-motion

[Side note: some interesting quotes from the above link...
In 2012, the French researcher decided to take the bull by the horns and make the most of France's know-how in sodium batteries. "For lithium, all fundamental research had been conducted in Europe, especially in France," Tarascon points out. "Yet it was in Japan that the technology was transferred and brought to market, allowing Sony to launch its first lithium-ion battery in 1991. As a result, 95% of Li-ion production today takes place in Asia." It is out of the question to repeat history. The CNRS (responsible for fundamental research) and the LITEN-CEA (in charge of technology transfer) have thus joined forces with around 15 industrial players such as Renault, Saft, and Alstom to create the RS2E network dedicated to new-generation batteries. Their stated objective is to ensure research AND development, in order to bring sodium-ion batteries to market on European soil as soon as they are ready.]

Criminal AI wielding biotechnology?

Hack into some database to steal bioweapon designs (or invent one by itself), get a few chemical companies to assemple components, bribe some poor schmuck into mixing the vials together, boom.

THB though, what I fear is individuals. Humans as a group behave often in batshit insane ways, but most of the time, they're a peaceful and kind species. But you always have, by the random lottery of genes and environment, crazy people. What technology does is magnifying the power a single person can wield, and thus the damage they can do. Self-replicating stuff is particularly nasty power amplifier here.

From a purely legal perspective not in any significant ways. However from a public opinion perspective the difference is more significant.

It goes much further than marriage, there is the whole decriminalization thing, which goes back to the 1930's in the case of some countries here.

As for how NL is 'better' than the US: It's a ridiculously small country and very densely populated so what works here would likely not work as well in places like Canada or the US, but as mentioned above I think coalition politics (het poldermodel) is an important part of making sure that minorities do not easily become the football of dominating majorities. Both large US parties would be considered right-wing here (roughly VVD), the US has no functional left which is a residue of the McCarthy years and the cold war. Somehow the US associates 'left' in politics with 'communism' and that has kept a very large chunk of the US population without representation.

In NL it is very hard to find any substantial chunk of the population without representation. We also don't jail 1% of our populace.

That said there is plenty of room for improvement, we still have corruption, racism, crime and so on at levels higher than what I'm comfortable with, and our government is excellent at wasting money, an area they are slowly improving on but in my opinion too slowly.

After that they could use their 10000x power advantage to effeftively have the equivalent of 10000 30yr wars looking to wreck havoc.

If you regularly drive more than 300km, then yes, ICE vehicles will remain your only option. But if you are a suburbanite or city-dweller who has a typical round trip commute of 70 miles or less[1] then in the very near future a Tesla Model 3 or equivalent will be the economically rational option for you to purchase.

I think about buying a EV in the same way as I would think about choosing the number of bedrooms in a hypothetical house purchase: do I overpay for a house with one extra bedroom, in the rare case I have relatives or friends once or twice a year, or do I offer to put them up in a nearby fancy hotel for that rare case? Similarly, do I buy the car that fits my needs for 95% of my day to day driving, is economical to run, and rent a car when I need the extra range, or do I overpay day to day for the rare edge case where I need that extra range?

Then again, plenty of people choose ridiculously oversized SUVs to drive their kids to school so we shouldn't expect drivers to suddenly become economically rational in their vehicle choice.
