Nintendo is perhaps the last remaining large company that makes significant effort to include whimsy all over their product experience.
Of course, some of us remember that Apple used to have very whimsical behaviors and interactions throughout their software too, but that has been bludgeoned out of the OS experiences over the last several years.
Putting aside the often absurd costs for a moment...
Many ERs are also severely overburdened, understaffed, and overcrowded often with very high ratios of non-emergency patients to emergency patients. This creates huge wait times for patients and puts significant stress on medical staff.
Talk to your friends, family, coworkers, almost everyone has a bad story to share, whether about absurd wait times, wild costs, billing screw-ups, insurance debacles...
And talk to your doctors and nurses too, they are just as frustrated.
> but I disagree on the touchbar. It’s one of the better things Apple has added recently.
Strongly disagree, and I can not conceive of how it could be viewed as "better" than hardware keys. Maybe if they moved it above the FN row and we regained the hardware escape key, while making it a build to order option. Even then, I personally would have no interest in it, and neither would anyone else I know. I do not want to look at my hands while I type, ever.
The state of US health insurance and care has become a competitive disadvantage that discourages innovation and entrepreneurship. That's very bad policy for any country, but particularly for one that prides itself on The American Dream, innovation, and being your own boss. Every entrepreneur, freelancer, and small business owner I know has a ridiculous story of costs, insurance debacles, and often care too. You'll also now hear absurd stories from people with group employer provided plans. That should be a national embarrassment.
Every other developed country in the world has figured this out, and at much lower cost.
> Physical activity as a weight loss strategy is, therefore, easily foiled by relatively small quantities of excess food.
> Our calculations show that the lungs are the primary excretory organ for fat. Losing weight requires unlocking the carbon stored in fat cells, thus reinforcing that often heard refrain of “eat less, move more.”
"Eat less, move more." If anyone isn't aware of that by now, I don't know what to say.
