Yes.

Spotify remains a far better experience and product than Apple Music. Why not buy Spotify?

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.

You never use the ESCAPE key? Apple roped that into the fn keys and removed it

> If you're storing your coins on Coinbase, you're doing it wrong. Get your coins under your control.

And what if you lose the USB key, hard drive, etc or it becomes damaged? Oops.

Secure and reliable storage is a problem that must be solved.

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.

One year is pretty short.

I suspect Japan would have to change a lot of policy if they really wanted to encourage immigrant driven startups to flourish and stay long term.

Because that's what fads do. They're transient by nature, that's why they're called a fad.

> 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.

I have ran into this before, figured it was a generic login bug. Now I wonder what/where my login credentials went. Lovely.

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.

Interesting, but it really needs to include state taxes to be accurate or relevant.

It's often willful ignorance, combined with most people not wanting to actually give up a vice.

What is your intake during the fast? Bone broth? Water? Electrolytes?

The TLDR:

> 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.

This sounds like something you'd read on Infowars.

> Not even close.

"Searching the web for 'Knot every clothes'..."

By such leaps that it's hard to compare the two.

Makes you wonder what we'll find out is being withheld right now, 50 years from now.

> The carriers shouldn't even have any visibility to what is being carried, beyond what is necessary to route it to its destination.

Agreed

This is such a strange comment.

> Doctors are part of a guild. They artificially limit the number of doctors available by capping the number of medical schools, which also allows the existing schools to crank costs to astronomical levels

Your thesis is that a cabal operated by doctors is limiting more doctors from getting acceptance into med school as well as intentionally preventing more medical schools from opening, with the goal of inflating their student loans to such astronomical levels so they can have the privilege of graduating with ridiculous debt loads they'll be lucky to pay off by the time they're 50 years old? That's.... fascinating.

> One thing that would help is letting non-MD’s, such as nurses or physicians assistants, do more “doctor” things.

They do, are you in the USA? It's actually quite challenging to see an MD without direct pay or concierge, or without seeing a specialist (in which case be prepared to wait 2-5 months, depending on their specialty). When was the last time you went to a primary care office, urgent care, or similar clinic in the USA, and had a visit with an actual doctor (MD) and not a PA, NP, RN, or similar non-MD? Doctors are so rationed in much of the USA that many obstetric or surgical followups are handled entirely by a completely unrelated RN or PA instead of the very doctor who performed the actual procedure on that patient. And the boomers haven't even retired and reached medicare age yet, imagine what the doctor shortage will look like in another 5, 10, 15 years.

And yet Cortana is still better than Siri.

Take the extremes; is cancer incidence markedly lower in perpetually sunny cities like Phoenix or Los Angeles compared to perpetually cloudy cities like Seattle or Portland? Surely the data would show if there were a notable difference for people exposed to 11 months of sun versus 10 months of clouds.

Is there anyone who trusts electronic voting machines? Go back to paper voting with a verifiable carbon copy record already.

Broadly applicable

This question has been answered many times through numerous studies since 2001

Obviously depends where you are located, and how you define middle class.

FWIW, this article offers a much better definition of middle class based on historical standards in the USA:

> "we define the middle class as a set of financial attributes and assets that were widely considered an attainable norm in the 1960s"

Now it's applicable to nearly everything

But hard to argue with, it would take significant efforts that are unimaginable with modern politics/lobbying to reverse that.
