The bias is obvious however: you can instantly pick out Democrats from Republicans.

I don't read / watch opinion pieces to know how to think. I read / watch opinion pieces to know _what other people are thinking_.

And I don't really care what a politician thinks/feels deep down inside. I care about what a politician is calculating in their public image: why they're voting for (or against) particular measures. Sure, they might change their opinion a year or two from now, but if we're talking about the important issues affecting our country today (ex: debt ceiling and its knock-on-effects)... what these politicians are saying today is the opinion that matters.

> this is equivalent to getting your news about an industry exclusively from the press releases of the two biggest firms in the industry.

The issue is that far too many people don't even use this source of information at all, and are instead getting their opinion / reviews from pundits who really don't matter at all in the great scheme of things.

Today's citizen is more likely to be "informed" by some random talk-show host, or crazed nut over the radio that no one gives a care about... rather than know what our actual leaders are doing.

In any case, the infographics / arguments used by people in Congress are pretty compelling in general. Yeah, there's some complete crap here and there, but its important to also know the bullcrap some people think.

A lot of information is from very solid sources: they interview Generals / Commanders from Afghanistan, so we get to hear the direct witnesses / decision makers to various events. They can pull in statistics from CDC, FDA, BLS, Fed, State Department, etc. etc. Think-tanks are commonly quoted to various degrees of success (some think-tanks are fine, others are clearly biased).

The quality of information presented is just head-and-shoulders above the average newspaper / blog / radio host.
I was flabbergasted to learn Nick Saban from University of Alabama makes $9.3 million annually(2019)[0].

...or the Athletic Director. Unfortunately that can usually cost the state long after they are gone as the retirement system is usually setup based on final salaries. In the case of the State of Oregon the 3rd highest paid PERS recipient is Mike Belotti who was the head football coach for 13 years and then AD for 2 years. He gets almost $50K/month in retirement. The only two higher recipients are doctors that worked for the state more than twice as long as Belotti.

Another thing is Medicaid pays below the cost of care so that is balanced by the private insurers payments. This is why you see many county and rural hospitals struggling because the private hospitals have taken the cream of the crop private insurers. First step is the make sure hospitals are not drowning in covering for costs of Medicaid and uninsured patient care.

This Frontline documentary talks about this issue.

US law favors businesses by restricting actions against them while imbuing them with the rights and privileges of person-ship when it suits them. These laws however don't typically protect their leadership.

With the rise of social media and the de-platforming of certain individuals who have a cult of personality, it will be interesting to see how laws evolve. Unfortunately I don't see laws being passed to bring parity or balance but rather, as we've seen with the Texas censorship law, they'll only further benefit those with power.

There was some initial enthusiasm about their build-to-order approach to sandwiches (which is probably what you have witnessed), but it has faded over time and now it’s nothing special. It does have a reputation of making edible sandwiches, but not much more and not cheap.

At many schools, the football and/or basketball programs literally fund all other athletics programs...including the scholarships for those other athletes.

I understand the overtime pay.

But a more common scenario - what about a co-worker, that is 60% your capacity?

And the union and company agree that two people doing this job should be enough. No more hiring.

The person is not great at getting things done, but not horrible enough to be fired (especially by union standards).

They're stuck on your team.

While overtime pay is great, do you really want to be responsible every week for their work deficit?

There's a couple of browser plugins that do this, with a password, so long as someone else knows the password it will decode. I'm not near my machine that has it, but I know it does Korean, japanese, and Chinese characters - you choose which set you want. And it doesn't back-translate to anything useful, it's just encoding.
> You might think these are high prices, but chargeable hours isn't hours worked for psychologists, since they have to do notes for every meeting, manage the business, appointments, etc, which reduces their total take home to something below $200k/yr, which is below a typical bigtech Eng II with only a couple years of experience, potentially not even going to college if they are clever and self motivated enough.

Silicon Valley/big tech is not the center of the universe. How is what "typical" engineers at big tech companies make relevant to a discussion of what psychologists and other medical professionals make? Are you suggesting that the medical profession is doing battle with big tech for (future) workers?
Good faith - not trying to be a bastard...

I've heard rumblings of this too but every time I've interacted with healthcare it's still the same coded system that you see in regards to the chargemasters etc... even as recent as-of a few weeks ago this was the system in a modern hospital in a large west coast city.

So, two things:

1. I think we're on the coded system indefinitely, or at least that's only what I can expect given recent experience

2. Even if we were to implement this, providers and insurers will still fight like cats and dogs because there's just too much money to be made here that I can't imagine the same problems won't manifest itself in a "bundled payment" system. I would actually expect this to make matters worse. Often when you bundle something it obfuscates and confuses the value of the individual "things" in the bundle - the middlemen will do everything they can to extract margin from this. I'd personally like to stay with codes to maintain transparency through having an auditable receipt of known services directly tied to a fair price.
> Software development is a process of discovering and remedying bugs - from the requirements, through the design, to the implementation

The fastest developers are those who barely put in bugs in the first place not those who are good at finding the bugs they themselves put in.

Example: Two developers writes half of a project. Developer A's code has 10 bugs, developer B's code has 1 bug. They both work together to fix the bugs, developer A fixed 4 of A's bugs while B fixed 6 of A's bug and his own bug. In total A fixed 4 and B fixed 7. In this case it looks like B was almost twice as effective, but if B didn't have to fix A's bugs he would have been way faster, especially since fixing others bugs is way harder than fixing your own.

Good points. Maybe educators need to consider updating their metaphors -- any of these could work. The real problem might be that computer files are intangible, abstract entities, making it harder for students to fully grok the model.

Personally, I use social media as a way for inspiration. As an artist, I’m always curious about a new style or something I’ve never seen before. Social media does a good job curating it so I can explore my hobby more . Don’t feel that this is covered well here.
Oke so let's to with a bit of napkin math. First materials:

3d printed enclosure: $167.68 (unlikely to get a better price for quantities a hobbyist will self assemble)
PCB for controller + parts, it's not listed in the article but let's assume it's 25$.
PCB for the LED panels + parts. Let's also assume 25$.

So now we are already at $213.68. Then let's factor in labor. Someone who can create something like this would not struggle with asking $100 per hour. I dare say assembling the entire thing, correcting possible errors, testing boxing + shipping will take more then 6 hours. Only placing the LED's will take a significant amount of time.

So no I don't think it's profitable to sell this for $1000.
By 3rd or 4th grade, wouldn't you have interacted with a library's card catalog or say, how your family's cassettes or cds were stored for retrieval?

>Maybe off topic, does having an account on these social media sites / apps on phone be harmful in any way when you don't consume it that much?

For me, it's not about harm to me. It's that I despise the business models of those companies.

So I voted with my (lack of) attention because I don't want to be responsible for generating any revenue for those rapacious scumbags.

I certainly don't push others to get off those platforms, but I choose to live my values and don't support them.

It was never about trying to limit my time on such websites (those phone apps are just poorly implemented interfaces to the existing web platform), rather it was about what sorts of businesses I (don't) wish to support.

I'm glad you found your sweet spot with that. Mine is altogether elsewhere.

I think one reason why lightning works great is because it is made by Apple. Apple is expensive, and therefore, it can afford to spend the couple of extra cents needed to manufacture a good connector and install it properly.

USB has to go on devices where the port already represent a sizable fraction of the cost, and there is a race to the bottom to whoever will produce the least expensive parts, and of course, it is shit. If lightning was standard, we would probably see a lot more failures, simply because not everyone has the same quality requirements as Apple.

Of course, USB doesn't have te be terrible, but when you compare USB to lightning, you compare a mixed bag of good and bad parts to only good parts. To be fair, you should only compare USB implementations from reputable, expensive brands against lightning.

Ivermectin has research going back to the mid-2000's showing it has anti-viral properties.

EDIT: Thought I'd come across a study indicating that from 2006, but I can't seem to find it. Let's settle on mid 2010's instead because the point is mostly that there was research showing anti-viral properties before the pandemic started, and therefore it was a very logical thing for frontline doctors to try on their patients.
When you say that the amount we do now know is staggering, do you mean the amount we do not know? The rest of your post suggests the latter, which is somewhat an antonym of what was actually written.

This is just my personal conspiracy theory, but I feel as though a really good android desktop container system hasn't been made available to Developers because it would make it a lot easier to pull back the curtain on all the shady native advertising and tracking shit everybody is getting up to. Even with a rooted device there's still a lot of open questions for me.

Anyway, this is to say that I'm also a little bit angry about wanting such a product without the primary purpose of catering to corporate whims instead of developer tinkering
Well, bang goes that theory. Maybe it's the intangibility of computer files that is tripping them up.
It is true that they get most of their income by setting Google as default search engine. However, they do not promote or support Google's way to do many things, and all of the evidence is pointing that privacy is everything they have in their brand, and they haven't done user hostile things in the past.

They have attempted many kinds of new business models. VPN partnership with Mullavad is really promising one, and maybe they finally get new source for income.
> Companies don’t value tenure

This is very true. They value your ability to do a job. If you've been around a long time and aren't being valuable in your current job they often won't value you. But, if you are being useful in your current job they will value you.

Tenure is not valued. Usefulness to the company is. Whether you're 20 or 60 this same thing applies.

> you’re often better off changing companies for promotion, salary increases, etc.

This depends.

Companies often view their people as expenses. They often want to get the maximum they can out of someone at the least expense. There are exceptions to this but it's the rule.

So, you need to learn to maximize the thing you value if you want that. Things like position and compensation.

When being courted by a new company they will use these to pull you in. But, if you learn the system at your current employer you can use that system to your benefit as well. Your current company doesn't often see benefit from paying people more and promotions. In some cases, they're looking for the people motivated enough to seek them and not wait for them to be given. Especially at the higher levels.

Of course, using your current companies system to your benefit means you want to stay there.

> 10%-30% differences

Hiring companies are looking for that number which will pull people away. Even from a job they like. What they initially offer is almost always lower than they are able to go.

Just my 2 cents after many years in the systems.
Supposedly, Adam and Eve were told they were free to do anything except one thing, we know what they ended up doing...
This seems a bit backwards to me.

It's only futile to blast ABBA songs (or other human-like signals) into space if we think human-like intelligence is special.

It's precisely because we believe human-like intelligence is _not_ special that blasting (or listening for) space signals makes any sense. The assumption is that other civilizations will converge on some of the same technology that we've developed and recognize a patterned signal when they see one.
Because half the country and the mainstream media would rather revel in laughter at those people than help them. They rationalize it as them being too dumb to take the vaccine instead of probing why exactly people are so distrustful of massive conglomerates that can't be held responsible in any way for any side effects their products may cause.

I'll repeat what I always say whenever this comes up: subscribe to the Sunday edition of a major city daily. If your city doesn't have a very good one, then just do the New York Times (but note that the Metro section is one of the most interesting and useful parts of the daily paper and you'll miss out on that if you subscribe to a national paper). You want the Sunday edition because it's the week's largest edition and contains stories that ran earlier in the week, plus sections that aren't in the weekday editions. And you probably want real paper. The idea is to scan through it from beginning to end, getting an idea of what the major stories are and what's broadly happening in the world. Read it over coffee or while watching football or whatever.

Anything more than this is entertainment. It's not important and won't make you more informed. If you want to read more than that because you like it, then that's fine. Some people like The Bachelor. But they don't confuse it for an education. It's entertainment.

I can’t take helium seriously because it’s an ICO scheme wrapped in a thinly plausible veneer of being about peer-to-peer communication.

If you come up with a peer-to-peer network technology, and you want people to take it seriously, don’t try to make a quick buck off it. If it needs payments for routing or whatever, just use an existing payment technology like lightning or something.

It would be hard to sound more like a hype scam if they tried: “Powered by the Helium Blockchain, The People’s Network represents a paradigm shift for decentralized wireless infrastructure.”

Edit: against my better judgment I read some of the technical stuff on their site. This is either decentralized in name only or vulnerable to Sybil attacks.
