I call it..the Wolfram Apparatus

I wouldn’t be surprised if states like Idaho and Florida that don’t have functioning public health departments start having TB outbreaks to go with their measles outbreaks once the…

Something I've learned from 404 media is journalism actually has a fine business model. People are willing to pay for good journalism. The problem is (much like the rest of the eco…

Right, English is just a plain bad way to tell a computer to do something. The signal to noise ratio is too low and references are too ambiguous. You see this with the ridiculous "…

There might be one case somewhere that could be found where a firm that technically counts as PE isn't shady but in general the very idea of private equity is shady so it follows t…

I looked into this "ClearChoice" company and unsurprisingly it's private equity owned through a chain of sketchy intermediaries. If you're having any sort of medical or other work …

I had the same but with a cracked crown. The dentist did the bite wing x-rays, did whatever examination they do, and then at the end said it all looked good. They even did some fan…

I'm glad you mention dentists/vets. I make it a point to verify local businesses aren't PE owned before I will use them. Of course one of the problems with PE is they hoover up _al…

It should've been expanded into driving a long time ago. There are laws against distracted driving but I still see people weaving around like they're drunk on the roads. When I loo…

I'm curious why you include antibiotics in your trusted medications list. Over the past several years we've found that antibiotics have a huge impact on beneficial microbes in your…
