I work with surgeons and the running joke is that practical procedure based medicine just sucks - the hours, the physical work, the hospital, the conflicts and politics. It’s all truly brutal.

However I do agree 100% with what you said. Witnessing them fixing a newborn infant was an insane experience for me and I was super jealous.

What they recommend is still medicine, but the non-practical fields - prescribing medications, designing and administering complex treatments from the comfort of an office.

My personal take is that everything and anything medical will never ever go away as long as there are humans. I love the fact I get to work in both a software dev world and the medical world. Software still can do so much for that.
The amortization change was a deliberate part of the 2017 tax cut. One of the express purposes of the tax changes was to raise taxes on liberals, and I guess they figured that companies that take the R&D credit are run by liberals.
Honestly that's a pretty good idea, since there are still enough latex commands that you're sitting pretty even with a latex-augmented dictionary attack. Still though, I've never had trouble memorizing 5 word passwords even with weird capitalization patterns, and they're really easy to type compared to anything with a special symbol. Then again I only have 3 passwords on hand and not in a manager, so who knows?

But the asteroid does not start in planetary orbit.
Normal cars are designed from wide temperature ranges (something like -30F to 130F), -100 to 14k feet altitude, with a wide range of sand, dirt, snow, ice, hail and a wide variety of roads surfaces and steepness. Generally they seem designed to last 100k miles under normal use and terrible things don't happen if you forget an oil change.

You can do a chip tune that might get you more HP across a wide range of RPMs, but you won't be as robust, will need maintenance more often, and will likely wear through oil, gas, differentials, clutches, and related more quickly.

There's MANY things you can do that all basically come down to burning more gas+o2 in less time. Higher intake airflow (turbo, supercharger, better/missing air filters, scoops, etc), bored out cylinders for more engine displacement, more gas (increased fuel pressure/pumps), increased RPMs, and decreased exhaust pressure (better pipes, decreased or missing cats).

Trick is, more gas+o2 burned = more heat, more wear, more stress, hotter oil, faster clutch wearing, faster tire wearing, and generally faster brake wearing. Turbos are driven by exhaust, spin at crazy RPMs, increase air intake pressure, and generally are harder on the engine and oil and make cooling more of an issue. Higher RPMs require more precise timing, better valves+springs, better balanced cam shafts, etc. So what might seem like a cheap/easy change like increasing turbo boost from 10psi to 15psi might like a good idea, but have major impact on engine life and maintenance costs. A single blown head gasket from the increased temp, increased vibration, and increased pressure can be very expensive.

Much like CPUs of today, cars are generally designed carefully for their performance level and there's less spare performance left to be easily tweaked. Much like how older CPUs could be overclocked for substantial performance gains. Now both cars and CPUs will throttle if they don't have enough cooling or any of numerous other sensors detect potential problems. It's pretty common these days to see a car with 300hp, but 350hp for up to 10 seconds before the sensors reel you back in.
Knowledge won't become meaningless. Even in a world where AI becomes ubiquitous, AI will keep getting stuff wrong and it will ultimately be down to humans to correct that.
One more leap like this and we'll be able to resolve individual dendrites and obtain a complete connectome. Combined with microscopic slices (with suitable immunohistological staining), we'd be getting close to obtaining the data necessary for brain uploading - at least in mice.

> I don't understand why so many act as Apple apologists and feel the need to justify the current situation.

Who’s acting as an apologist? I prefer it the way it is. It’s not like you don’t have a choice. If you want a device that offers the ability to sideload go buy an Android. I appreciate the fact that if anyone wants to offer an app on IOS they MUST go through the official app store to do so. Lets say for instance an app that I must have (example only) Facebook Messenger. Now that they (Facebook) can sideload they stop offering it in the app store. Now anyone that really needs that app either must sideload it or not have it. You think Facebook is going to honor all of the good privacy controls that IOS currently enforces?

That is a huge disservice to those that like the walled garden. It forces companies that want a presence on IOS to comply.
> it doesn't matter how great your constitution is if your country is dead.

Why is the longevity of a nation more important than the values it stands for (as laid down in its constitution)? One could argue that it's better to have a great constitution that treats its citizens equally and fairly, even if the nation is short-lived and eventually disintegrates into smaller nations.

The interpersonal equivalent of this would be "It doesn't matter how great your relationship is if your marriage is dead". I'm not sure many would agree with keeping a marriage alive at any cost.
Thus it is misguided to pick a mate based on desirable qualities? Or it is OK for the individual but not individuals at scale?

Home Depot (and Trader Joe's and H-Mart) are just outside of Cupertino, in a trick that would otherwise look like gerrymandering since the border follows S De Anza Blvd and Prospect Rd to the south instead of jutting out to enclose those specific stores in San Jose's jurisdiction. There is, however a number of popular stores, including Whole Foods, Target as you mentioned, a 99-Ranch and a Safeway, and a JOANN Fabric and Crafts. There's also Apple's Infinite loop campus which isn't a big box store but does involve a lot of traffic, as well as De Anza College, the local community college which also involves a lot of traffic. I swear there used to be a Best Buy on that stretch of Stevens Creek, but that was too long ago for my memory, and Google's memory.

Complaining about people clogging up roads is some NextDoor level shit though.
Unlike SUVs, pickups don't have an adjustable suspension (pneumatic or hydraulic springs) so if you had a low bed on an empty pickup, it would have likely compressed the shocks completely under a heavy load, or, alternatively, you'd had shocks so stiff that they would not move without load at all. Most people who carry heavy loads in their trucks prefer neither and opt for the "lifted" look due to the long shocks, which work both empty and loaded.

No, fillibusters are a matter of procedure now. Nobody's standing up there talking to perform a fillibuster anymore.

From https://constitutioncenter.org/blog/filibustering-in-the-mod...

"When a Senator signals the intent to filibuster, an informal cloture process starts to determine if 60 votes exist to move a measure forward in two ways. One cloture vote is to approve a motion to consider a measure; the second vote is on the actual measure. If either cloture vote fails, the measure remains in limbo. "
I did the exact same thing in high school. I would rush home from school, and on a good day I could get all 3 DVDs ripped and back to the post office before 5pm for same-day turnaround. I even remember taking note of how the shipping delays differed based on the day of the week. I think if you got the phase right you could get two entire turnarounds per week.

For the dual layer discs I would need to keep enough hard drive space for the raw image and then do the encode and burn after the post office run. During summer break I would try to do a month or two of the 8 DVD plan, but that was too stressful.

I also remember trying a few small online businesses that did the same thing but with more interesting curated DVD collections. I don’t think any of them lasted long. Heck, some of those could have been a single person mailing out and restocking discs.
My dad used to say the perfect race car would explode into a million pieces just after it crossed the finish line. Anything more robust is wasted weight.
Probably. The only recourse Fox really had was to settle and try to keep the final tab under a billion dollars.

News organizations can get away with a lot, I mean a lot, but the better part of Fox’s entire legal defense was resting on New York Times vs Sullivan. The damage they did to Dominion’s reputation worldwide is maybe still over that line, and Fox did not want to be the test case, nor was prolonged litigation doing them any favors.
This explanation feels kind of awkward. My left hand does not depend on my orientation, so I am unclear why the "left side" of a boat would.

I get why there are better terms to use when talking about others. At least, I think I do. But it feels like there is more history to these terms than just "needs to be fixed."
do things that are actually interesting to you, even if they seem weird or nonsensical to people as little as 5 years older.

Imagine wanting to be a professional videogame... anything in 2000? Or thinking there is a way to make money on, gasp, Fantasy Football? etc. etc.

I firmly believe if there is a subject that interests you deeply and you know there are other people also deeply interested in it, there is money to be made there not to mention a purposeful, impactful life to be enjoyed around it.

There is a fine line between landing on something that allows you to capitalize on your passion (e.g. VR in 2010) and doing something truly obscure (e.g. collecting memorabilia or something) that nobody except for a handful other people would truly care about.

If you're 16 and see something that resonates with you, that's also something a sizable amount of your friend care about, but nobody in the higher age bracket understands, chances are you are privy to a secret map to a generational goldmine.

Or you can just bury yourself alive in finance sector.
it's also awfully convenient to assume that only the protesting party is at fault.
I wrote a blog article on this very topic several years ago: https://coverclock.blogspot.com/2012/12/passion-practice-pro...
> If you can't pay the bank, the bank will repossess the properties. Basically, the bank's loan is converted to equity. This also means the bank can lose money on the deal, because it's possible that even selling the building leaves them in the negative, for instance if it somehow becomes worth a lot less.

This is absurd.

For the bank, because the bank is virtually guaranteed to lose money. The only reason "owners" can't pay the bank is that the lease prices have dropped (usually by a lot). If the lease prices have dropped, the value of the property has dropped, and if it can't be refinanced the value of the property has dropped below the capital owed.

So the bank gets the property, but only if that doesn't solve the problem of the money owed. In other words, this is a useless guarantee.

Furthermore, the owners will never pay back the loan. Rather they'll buy more properties. So this is like a lot of business loans: an effectively eternal ("interest-only") loan. Any bet that the market will never go down has a zero chance of being correct. And of course, as demonstrated yet again this will happen to a lot of properties at the same time, magnifying the losses. Why are banks allowed to make that bet?

For society, because the owners of the building don't contribute anything. They don't contribute capital, which is what defines ownership in capitalism. They don't contribute admin work (that's outsourced). The only thing they have is clout with the banks, sometimes city hall, built up trust, or "goodwill". In other words, they are in their position because of corruption.

Also for society because no owner will risk his personal wealth on something like a building. It will be packaged as a limited liability company. So when it goes bankrupt, the owner at most loses an income stream that was probably going 99% to interest payments anyway.

I'll stick with my 5 random words because they're easy to type, but so long as you draw at random it really doesn't matter what you're sampling from.

Blue collar means spending your youth with tough physical labour surrounded by grumpy men to make some even angrier old man richer - while your friends are in college partying with fun girls and making contacts for easy jobs. Some people can be successful in a blue collar career, but the odds are you'll be abused, dogged and low paid. For that experience, you are better off spending your youth in the hospitality business, where you'll at least have fun workmates.

Blue collar work is the back bone of our material world, but I just cannot see it as a smart choice for a 16 year old. There is a lot of crap attitude among blue collar workers, and if you don't fit in culturally you'll be miserable, even if you're good at your job. Maybe things will have changed in a couple of years, who knows? But the skills are great to learn and know!

Starting a business is very sound advice for those who have it in them. Learning skills by working for yourself gives you a better paying business, while learning skills by working for somebody else gives them a better paying business. But you need to know at least something if you want to have a real business.

I understand that the terms are mostly unambiguous, but I always wonder how these get defined in edge cases. For example ferries, at least where I live, alternate the direction of travel as they go back and forth. There isn't a fixed "bow" or "stern" from which to define port and starboard.
IMO doing anything at the federal level should require a supermajority anyway. The country shouldn’t swing back and forth due to a simple majority. If a supermajority can’t agree, leave it to states.

Man, life was complicated if you didn’t have friends with access to the markets in Aberdeen in Hong Kong. I’d just write up a list of stuff I fancied and the Hong Kong kids would show up at school at the start of term with suitcases laden with fresh VCD warez, games, you name it - everything you’d asked for, and then some, and usually stuff that hadn’t hit the cinemas yet.

This was late 90’s, so broadband was still very nascent - downloading a film was still an expensive and time consuming mission.
It's kind of the paradox of choice. You knew you had one thing to watch and that was it. If something was interesting, you stick it in the queue and get to it when you've watched the other stuff you already head. And it was exciting to wait for something in the mail. There was anticipation.

This is why I think it was smart they started releasing content weekly instead of all at once. Give people a chance to build excitement and talk about something.

I think you need to cheer up first :)

When I was getting into programming, everyone was warning me that the jobs would all be outsourced soon. That didn't happen, or not in any kind of apocalyptic way.

I'm not certain what you're concerned about, so I'll address a couple of things.

The job market is in a rough place. This happens. It's a pendulum that never stops swinging. Make yourself useful somewhere and hope for the best. If you're paid well and smart with money, you can weather the storms.

AI is making crazy, disturbing advancements right now. However, it is not even close to being able to fully replace a human in a programming or similarly technical job (I'm not an AI researcher, but that's my observation). It's a good time to get familiar with these tools, because it seems very likely that we'll all be using them in some capacity, rather than working for them. This is not hugely different from the computer revolution we already went through.

So yes, get an education. For your own enjoyment/self-fulfillment if nothing else.
Not coincidentally, 10 to 15 years ago is around when people started viewing the "other" party as "evil." You can justify a lot of behavior when you declare yourself full of righteous indignation.

Your low effort comment is a hundred times worse than the one you responded to. Trying to shame someone in that sarcastic juvenile tone for asking a question in good faith is itself shameful.

People naturally respond to such things and use them to segue into another topic as part of conversation, and sometimes it is nice to have someone tell their recollection of a story instead of getting the wikipedia version.

I encourage you to stop doing this.
I liked these problems because they make you feel clever figuring them out but hated them because they were a mountain of tedious algebra.
Could you have "remote access" to a DVD player in the cloud? And then stream the audio and video to a TV? Suppose you had one user per "DVD" at a time and you let them "borrow it" like they do ebooks at the library. It might be shutdown quick based upon the streaming laws but it does seem like a sort of variation to it all.

I think old movies will find their way, there is a relatively small number of them but there is an awful lot of TV (also probably just awful TV) that I have a very hard time finding someone wanting to pay to have it streamed. Other than some pop culture memories and nostalgia, I don't know that there is a great loss; the really high quality content tends to live on. It doesn't feel right. When Netflix DVDs are gone, there is a lot of stuff that I don't know where you could find it.
Dominion filed for $1.6B, and final damages may not have been that, but Fox did not want to find out.
While paragraph 3 may be in jest, the non-standization meant that some states did allow women to vote long before it was constitutionally mandated. Of course it also meant some people were enslaved long before it was explicitly constitutionally allowed.
