Bigger hospitals can afford to have a modest administrative cost because there are fixed (as opposed to variable costs that scale with patients served and departments funded) that …

I worked for one of those "non-profit" hospitals / higher-ed institutions. The one I was at was "non-profit" in name, but just as profit-hungry as upscale hospitals. There's a 2-D …

Jesus H. I ran into a gal with stage iv cancer and a nasal infusion pump who was on her way to a bankruptcy hearing. That's just insane and inhumane how insurance companies and hos…

It's a code smell whenever a function doesn't fit on a page or has more than 2 levels of indentation. Smaller functions are easier to test, easier to read and easier to debug. Levi…

Disclaimer: I worked for a bit in Trimble's radio group. AMA about GPS circa 10 years ago. haha. That is really, really cool. I'm sure all sorts of jamming detectors will follow su…

It's important for sensible organizations to have a succession plan and alternates for all leadership positions.

Far be it from me to recommend CoC's, as they don't seem to add anything more than ostensible aspirations, but has anyone seen the social rules (guidelines) from NYC's Recurse.com?…

Reads suspiciously like a "clean coal" anti-climate-change FUD propaganda article to me.

As sedentary as modern people are, they/we need all the exercise we can get. Our older selves will (hopefully) thank us.

Certainly there are people who seem like there's no one home or that they're innately antisocial, but I'd say that a sizable fraction of sociopathic behavior stems from the rich/af…

IKR. The article comes off as some serious FUD rhetoric judging, perhaps for animosity-seeking clickbait sharing/engagement? They're discount retailers and not hiding this fact. Do…

Yes. And also: Chekhov, Nabokov. Of course: Tolstoy for those super-sized tomes that give you a free workout.

When at least one AV vendor has a signature, https://virustotal.com is your friend.

This is really good news considering I already take 10 mg of CBD 4x/day. I don't like the majority of the CBD industry which seems rife with unfounded, dubious claims and sketchy p…

Yeah, even from the way he talks, it feels like he has little-or-no integrity and just cheats/misrepresents his way to get ahead like a used-car salesman.

Thank you. Junk pseudo-science "news" doesn't belong here. Waits for articles about Pony development and use in production

There are a range of harms that are reasonably excusable and then those that are inexcusable. It's when people are excessively or inconsistently unreasonable that you're better off…

Apologies mean nothing without a believable promise to not behave similarly in the future. Furthermore, "sorry" doesn't excuse all behaviors. Doing something shitty like closing so…

? Tinfoil-hat paranoia.

Developing countries are strongly motivated to steal tech from established ones; it's self-righteous, moral panic furor to judge Chinese nationals as somehow acting differently tha…

"Still?" Always have been, always will be. Wishing and hoping are idealistic, utopian pipe-dreams.

Definitely. Antifa/anarchists/violent revolutionaries/terrorists carry water for their nemesis: property owners and the afraid middle-class lean on government and the "tough-on cri…

Consider the several major factors in a given theft: - economic hardship and/or thrill-seeking behavior - the former is influenced by economic conditions, economic equality and sub…

Smh. Poe's law disclaimer wink added.
