TrumpRx is mostly hot air. https://democrats-energycommerce.house.gov/sites/evo-subsite...

Why wouldn't you wait for one your insurance would approve? You're probably paying them thousands every month.

"And don't you dare ask for a second opinion, you'll get the doctor that has been assigned to you and accept whatever they tell you."

This happened to us with private healthcare. There is basically one specialty group for the procedure my family member needed so any 2nd opinion request just got routed back to the same doctor, "Oh, your Dr X's patient". Also, we could barely afford the procedure so we missed out on some follow up testing that would have verified things worked properly and basically got blacklisted from that practice so hopefully it's resolved...

I use a daily log system. I just run this bash script to open my log for the day. This opens the same file all day, so I can add stuff, and I know how to find old stuff, it's easy to grep, etc..

    ## create new log file for personal logging

    vi ~/daily_logs/personal_logfile_$(date +%j_%m%d%y)

Yeah, I'm not a frat guy, but don't groups like Fraternities build "Study Guides" that are often just brain dumps of tests with correct answers?

Sure, you can work around it; but it blows up the savings alot of people expect when they don't include this in their math.

Also, SAN is often faster then local disk if you have a local SAN.

This looks pretty informative. The terminology can be hard to follow. https://medium.com/@bounouh.fedi/understanding-iops-in-aws-w...

I/O is hard to benchmark so it's often ignored since you can just scale up your disks. It's a common gotcha in the cloud. It's not a show stopper, but it blows up the savings you might be expecting.

The most consistent misunderstanding I see about the cloud, is disk I/O. Nobody understands how slow your standard cloud disk is under load. They see good performance and assume that will always be the case. They don't realize that most cloud disks use a form of token tracking where they build up I/O over time and if you have bursts or sustained high I/O load you will very quickly notice that your disk speeds are garbage.

For some reason people more easily understand the limits of CPU and memory, but overlook disk constantly.

half the time, no sugar means sugar substitute. It is definitely confusing.

Glad you're hear to tell people they are dumb and they should work around systemic problems instead of trying to fix the system.

"At some point OpenAI's investors are going to want their money back."

They do now, that's why they are using a shell game to pump up the stock value.

The one thing Democrats and Republicans always agree on is "No Progressive's allowed".

Yup, these guys aren't the customers anyway. The investors are the only ones they care about because the customers don't come close to paying the actual costs.

But it is. This the the same argument against minimum wage. It's just wrong. The government should absolutely set a floor on wages and discrimination. There must be a standard to minimize friction. It's just not something that anyone can do by themselves.

The classic, I'm not a "whatever terrible thing", but those terrible people are ok and it's fine for them to be terrible.

Guess what that makes you?

I've seen that. Kids just get sneaky and they don't trust their parents.

5 is totally different from 2. At that age they aren't even usually fully able to engage in a verbal discussion, which can be frustrating for them.

I find patience and a tiered approach of punishments helps. Too many people jump to harsher punishment or longer timeouts and it's just punishing themselves because they have to miss that playdate or hold that kid in timeout.

Start small and work your way up.

They got bad for awhile, but the 2020+ models have been very nice.

Check out the motorola's, they have batteries that actually last an entire day. Mine is usually around 40% on an average higher usage day.

take a look at the new Motorola phones, they are getting pretty good.
