> Edit: also our clients themselves were interesting and doing cool things so that helped.

One challenge is that the "coolness" of projects are typically driven by the Product you sell. Do you sell a cutting edge Product doing something novel? It's harder to sell and projects are more likely to fail, but you'll probably have interesting (and maybe stressful) projects. Do you sell a Product which makes it easier for large enterprises to streamline and automate an important/high-value boring thing? Then the projects are probably going to be boring.

> Lots of opportunity to contribute back to platform teams and platform teams treating us like customers.

I've worked in a PS org and with other PS orgs. It's always amazing to me that many PS orgs get heavily siloed and nobody listens to them in a Product company. This is despite the fact that these are the people who literally see their customer pain points on a daily basis. The end result is that you feel like a 3rd class citizen in your own company.
The counterpoint is that you have the exact same decisions being made in systems like the UK. People get refused cancer treatment because they were too old and their were younger patients that had a better prognosis. The fact is both types of systems don't have unlimited resources.
Indeed, that's why I wanted to see what would come out the other end.

I went to WGU for my BSIT. I didn't learn much there, but the degree and certifications helped my job prospects. Spent about $10,000 going for 3 semesters (already had my AS from a community college), walked out with 13 certifications and a boost in pay from being headhunted within weeks.

I've had another job since then and am earning more still. I would say at least for IT degrees WGU is worth it. It gives you the sheet of paper HR needs to let you in through the door for cheap, plus a bunch of certs that helps your resume stand out. Not a bad deal if you have any autodidactive capability.
I have no doubt that MDs are leaving as well - but, at least from my perspective, in any large healthcare system, there is a drastic difference between the way middle management treats MDs and the way they treat everyone else. The latter is completely expendable, whereas the MDs do have a fair amount of negotiating leverage around their working conditions.

Lawyers are sometimes reluctant to give tax advice
It really isn't, they hold regional accreditation which, while debatable in total, is much harder to get than national accreditation, because the audit is considered to be much more strict.

What WGU is though, is mostly self guided learning, you don't have a traditional professor, you have advisors and pooled resources and group study to drive learning and for asking questions. It does work, if you're a very motivated person and learn well without professor / teacher guidance like you would get at a traditional state school.

Is it perfect? No, its definitely not, but its not a diploma mill, and I'd argue its of higher quality than University Of Phoenix and the like.

It's not even structured as a for-profit enterprise.

WGU filled the gap as a working professional. They're extremely affordable too. Would I advise someone who say, is just graduating high school and can get into a state school or good college with scholarships to pivot over to WGU? No, I wouldn't, but they wouldn't benefit from WGU the same way either at that stage of life IMO.
Part of this might be the context of a date: I spend long hours outside work learning and building things just because I find my profession interesting, but when most people ask about it I change the subject quickly because I know exactly how boring my interests are to most people: I assume they're asking to be polite and don't want an in-depth discourse on CPU design.
Read the post. Still seems uninspired as rebrands go.
Won't reply to all the strawmen at the bottom of your post, but I and lots of people don't care what people HEAR while we're using the bathroom.... its a bathroom for god's sake! Everything happening in there is normal and I'm not sure why you are imagining yourself to be "vulnerable" inside a locked private room.
A lot of the signal is going to be identical, so a hierarchical distribution with in-place modification based on location would be better than calculating the modification of the sound and sending to thousands of channels.
I have been self hosting my private domains for a couple of years now and spam is not a problem with rspamd and it needs very little resources. Some large hosts just outright blocked me but i always get it unblocked with some assistance of my hoster. So, yes it is fine. I even set up webmail with rainloop. Better than anything once you got it set up right.
okay.

I really am amused by the power of being able to have lawyers that understand the law better than the people that wrote or passed the law. I think Disney has that power. Its not that they necessarily understand it better although that can be a factor, its that they can warp realities with unrelated variables to create their desired reality.
Neither of those things would work because the objectionable noise is deep into the bass, which this stuff can't do with the excursion limits it's working with.

> How else are you solving this problem?

The tech companies I've worked at have started to build "gender neutral" bathrooms. They are a fully locked/enclosed rooms with sound proofing, i.e. no gaps at the bottom of the door. Sometimes you need to take a long session or maybe are not feeling great in the bathroom department (Probably TMI) and it's almost as good as WFH.

> licensing something dual licensed with this being equal to admitting you reserve the right to be unethical

That's not actually equal, though, because this license prohibits a bunch of things that aren't actually unethical. For example, it prohibits any use by police, military, and basically anyone in Israel.
I would amend this to say, "If you have to ask, then you shouldn't self-host it for anything mission critical."

I get what you're saying, but the promise of the medical system and the implementation of the medical system aren't really aligned. Sure 50% of problems are naive patients, but the other 50% are doctors or a system that doesn't know how to talk to you or treat you, or there's just an ocean of uncertainty in how to operate. You show the negative side from the doctor perspective, but on the other hand. Doctor's aren't really trained in 'health' they're trained in pathology. If you're really sick they can provide help, but if you want to optimize or you're kind of sick, or your numbers are borderline. Medicine is just sort of not a hard science, there's way too much uncertainty. You mention people demanding antibiotics, but the doctor's are just as bad -- last time I tried to have a nuanced discussion about it with a practitioner, the answer was a simple "x days is the standard of care". Not to mention that the doctors would have to be up to date on the latest versions of research in a ton of different areas to have some of those answers anyway. I'm not going to leave terrible reviews about it, but I rarely leave a medical office feeling satisfied that there are firm answers on anything.
Windows 11 update added widgets back to the taskbar
Dear Windows 11,

After a quit stretch in our abusive relationship, I updated windows 11, and the new you seems to be worse than the previous new you. The widget and chat feature was added back, and this pushed me back to where we were 3 months ago when I had to clean up after when you stayed out drinking and changed all my browser defaults to Edge. After today, I am no longer sleeping in your bed, until you promise never to do it again.

Yours reluctantly,

Indentured Windows User.

The uni I went to definitely had 2-3 weed out courses.

None of what you learned needs to be coupled with a university as it now exists to learn. And in fact, all of those have been and are possible outside of the university.
Where a less credentialed person can do the job it has already been done. Here's how it breaks down:

Registered Nurse (RN): The 'specialized nurses' you talk of, and what this article is mainly about. Requires at least an associate's degree to be licensed, but increasingly an bachelor's is expected. Only they can administer any medication a doctor prescribes, and only they can assess your condition.

Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN): If they are certified they can also do blood draws. Requires graduation from an LPN program (usually about one year) to be licensed. They perform easily predicted tasks like a dressing change that do not require assessment. They can also administer some drugs based on the situation.

Unlicensed Assistive Personnel (UAP): In a big hospital, these are who are checking your temperature most of the time. They can only do basic tasks that do not require any medical training, even if their experience is larger than the RNs and LPNs they're under.

There are also many different technicians. In a big hospital, an RN acts as a middle manager delegating their work to these many different tiers. In an ICU, or in a small hospital, it will be done much more by themselves.
You can definitely self host. In terms of spam there's a bunch of config you need to do to not be put into the spam folder automatically.

I've done it for my side project, not saying it was easy and require a bit of linux knowledge but nothing you can't google.

Off the top of my head you have to setup your DNS and enable DNSSEC

I'm not sure I understand the hypothetical. I am against members of any political party receiving unfair privileges. And I would be 100% ok with the removal of those privileges, even if it was an explicit result of that person exercising their free speech.

This reminds me of someone I stayed with once in NYC that had a bathroom attached to their living space. He went in, turned on a music player real loud, so I just heard him shitting with loud music playing.

By the 4% rule, 2m in the retirement funds gets you 80k of income. Of which you have to pay taxes and fees and all those charges that accumulate. Most people who wish to do this add “going to a very low tax environment” to the discussion. But take a pro tip: health care costs add up.

As a guesstimate for California…. If you get 5m, taxes will take a third of it, and a house will take 1-2m. Which leaves you +/- on the 2m to invest. If you’re not into heirs, you can reverse mortgage.
Can you share your general location (CoL) and high level math around retirement budget? Your target fund size feels really low if you're in any moderately high CoL spot. Not here to criticize your goal, but to see if theres something I can learn from your logic.
Regular Expressions and Successive Approximation
We already have decent (not always great but decent enough) government provided healthcare for the elderly through Medicare. So in fact, we've completely avoided your example already and said "yep, all life has value if you're eligible for medicare".

Of course resources are finite, nobody ever argues that they're infinite. But we treat healthcare as if there's a constant scarcity of medicine with how much is charged because there's a constant urge to squeeze even more profits out of patients who probably have only 2 choices- pay for the medicine or die.

In a recent interview, Eric Weinstein commented on recently rich crypto millionaires and how boring they are. What's the point of having "fuck you" money if you never say "fuck you"? They all fall into the same trappings as everyone else. The weirdest thing about people with this kind of money is that very few people use it in any meaningful way. These crypto millionaires should be funding new institutions to replace modern monetary theory, the predominant school of economics that will (according to them) lead to the end of fiat and global disaster apart from the enlightened. Instead they're buying lambos and flexing for internet strangers

Equine chiropractors are pretty mainstream nowadays. The one I use is an excellent vet to start with who also does adjustments. There's wackos out there, but there's definitely some properly trained individuals who do a lot of good. I get my mare done every other year or so. Her back gets sore, it's super obvious when you're riding her, the chiro comes out, and she's so much more relaxed and moves more freely when I get on her the next day. A year or two later, she's sore again and we repeat.

Crap, even the old school Kansas cowboy I used to ride with uses them. When his ranch horses start acting sore, he gets a chiro out. The man can do pretty much anything else veterinary himself, and does, but calls in an equine chiro for his working animals.
>What about the interactive environment like the one in Common Lisp?

Never used a "real" Lisp REPL, but Conjure[0] seems like it ticks a lot of boxes.

>Is this one going to remain obscure?

There are only a ~dozen mainstream languages. Once you get outside of the popular zeitgeist, you have to appreciate exactly what you are getting. It takes a lot of dedication to become fluent in a language/ecosystem, so it is no surprise that people are reluctant to switch to a novel platform. Clojure is far more likely to ever become mainstream (owing to the huge JVM ecosystem), but even that seems to have only limited industry penetration.

> I don't view it as retaliation, and I think only the people who are fixated on the political motivations view it as retaliation.

Well, yes, nothing looks like retaliation when you ignore motivations. Motivations define retaliation.

Starting out with selectively ignoring the facts most relevant for assessing whether a thing fits into a particular category is a singularly bad way of assessing whether that is the case.
> after service has been rendered can decide to pay less, or not pay at all, or stop paying that provider altogether, etc

This actually isn't necessarily true when you learn how billing codes work. Most insurance companies pay out at a fixed rate per billing code based on your plan. That doesn't change. What does change is that hospitals can retroactively apply new additional billing codes.

This happened to us once for an ER visit where we got 3 additional surprise bills over 6 months because the hospital retroactively applied new billing codes to our visit.
Also my first thought when I saw n was 200, lots of surveys make mistakes in sample selection or question writing but it seems with the responses here and my own observations being close to nursing, the main point checks out. Lots of burn out and leaving the profession.
Find it a bit amazing that so many here act as if the past two years are the sole reason.

Few people have been as relentlessly toxic and unforgiving on social media as nurses.

As a child of a nurse, that job has sucked for at least the past 40 years.
The pay is average.
Workplace is a cesspool of gossip and toxic work culture.
Management is generally terrible.
Also, the pandemic has exposed how many in the profession really are just narcissists.

The amount of facebook posts from indignant nurses spreading the most horrible comments , just to receive likes and be perceived as heroes, these past two years have made my stomach turn.

Its about time we cleaned up in healthcare.
Not just aduquate pay, making sure we properly manage healthcare professionals and evolve healthcare management to grow where its needed.

I am 100% positive a flexible healthcare system that expands and shrinks after societal need is possible.

Not this crazy old fashioned fixed set of beds for x or y, that gets cut in some wave when they are needed less. Only to cause havoc in years when they are needed more.

Make sure the good nurses dont burn out and quit leaving the narcissist and ego maniacs behind.

There are amazing nurses out there, but we need to face that many of them are absolute shit at their jobs. And should seek other venues.
This exodus may be a good thing in the end.

Don't see how, because the accreditation system is setup as such that they should see them as any other university that is regionally accredited.
so this whole thing is based on a Nassim Taleb quote.

I read his books and thought they were kind of interesting, but it always felt like he was just saying random absurd things that he didn't have to defend because it was his book.

When I started reading his twitter account I realized this is true. He makes ridiculous statements like he is an authority on all possible things, and blocks and berates anyone who dares to disagree with him in even the slightest way. He is basically a troll.

He basically made one lucky bet in his trading career and then pivoted to making money by telling everyone how smart he is.
>But if I did want to actually learn something, say by pursuing education at the graduate level, I have to get that credential rubber-stamping my existing knowledge.

Most universities will let you audit a course, even graduate courses (if you can convince the professor you have experience in the area) just by paying a fee for that one class. You don't need a credential to do this.
Regulatory capture is the issue that needs to be solved. Not free markets.

> * I strongly believe that only physicians should be running hospitals. Certainly not administrators whose only education is an MHA and only experience is working for for-profit health companies.

The skills need to run a hospital are quite different than those required to be a doctor. I'm not saying hospitals aren't unique - I believe they are and their adminstration is highly specialized. Doctors should inform the administration at every level but it would be a waste of their training and a bad idea for doctors to run everything.

> Medical decisions need to be made outside of cost considerations. The only factors should be medical science, quality of life, and patient wishes (in that order).

Would you be as quick to say "Doctors should work without pay." ?
