The problem nobody seems to want to tackle is: how do we get more and better trained doctors to go through the expensive and soul crushing years of med school and into the workforce? All the while the west experiences a population decrease and more need than ever for care (especially the elder variety).

Because if this cannot be answered pray to god we find a way to automate most stuff with AI and robots

And Post Traumatic STRESS Disorder isn't?

You got an atomic bomb dropped on you, experienced a literal apocalyptic sun consuming everything you loved first hand and all you (impersonal) can come up with is "stress"?

If you want to stay coherent then we should have made up a term specifically to tackle the world-ending experiences these people lived through.

I think he was a human with a rich multi-faceted life and this line of reasoning is exactly how we arrive in 2023 with people who, for instance, don't know about Columbus' genocides because "discovering America overshadowed the rest of his life so we didn't bother to cover it in school".

Yeah, no.

A movie about Oppenheimer's life should be about... the immediate fallout of the bomb on the Japanese population?

Euphemism means using softer words. Getting shellshock from a machine gun is not an euphemism

... and?

The SE 2020 being extra cheap (and even the 2022 model if you look well enough) is only a product of the used market and the fact that that line of iPhones is often overlooked, so people selling them really lowball the price more often than not. Apple doesn't actually have a lot to do with it.

My smartphone does exactly what I tell it to do during my meditation time. You keep arguing a strawman using religious language.

I simply said that breathing exercises have objective benefits which cannot be handwaved away. This whole spiel about argumentation was made up by a biased interpretation

I just put my silenced smartphone on the table and after 15 minutes it sounds a pleasant bell to remind me meditation time is over. Sometimes I want to do guided practice so I listen to the instructions of the meditation guide.

So, where is the problem here? Maybe you are arguing an uninformed strawman.

I could argue the same thing about going to a place of worship. You are surrounded by people (the thing that biologically distracts us the most since we crave social interactions) that make sounds or move about, plus sometimes there is a master guiding people in their practice.

Isn't that the textbook definition of distracting? Why can you magically ignore a whole drove of people around you but somehow a silenced smartphone is just too much to handle? Double standard much.

> instead reach an inner presence of God, and His stillness encompassing all that we experience during that sacred time

>pagan object

this is just baseless cultist talk

>Life is not an internet argument.

except when you tell someone they should try mindfulness and they look at you as if it was voodoo crap

Thanks, the problem is that the name is very vague so maybe there are copycats or similar sounding options so I wanted to go with the publishers

Explain the contradiction of terms, otherwise this reply is worthlessly vague

Have you downloaded the app? Have you seen how it works and what its options are? Everything you wrote is coming from a place of ignorance.

If you want a free mindfulness app you should consider searching for the one developed by the US Department of Veteran Affairs on your platform's app store. It usually ranks very low on the list because not many people know about it and because all the other apps market themselves heavily.

Unlike all the garbage apps which ask you for subscriptions and DLCs just to play 10 minutes of audio, every single thing is free and freely downloadable. It also has customization options, a journal, a very simple and rational interface and a small corpus of advice.

Breathing practices objectively have an effect on our body and nobody can counter this.

Buddhist ideology on the other hand is up to debate and everyone is free to try it or believe it.

Maybe in your experience meditation is enhanced by believing all that stuff, but that is your prerogative. I can do mindfulness and go to a psychologist instead of doing meditation and going to a temple because maybe that oriental stuff feels too alien and doesn't seem right to me.

Maybe you should consult with a professional to see if there are exercises you can do to acclimatize yourself better? at least in your own home

What is this appeal to authority about?

He is a guy. He cannot maintain Chromium with too little of a team

High balance customers have the latest tech which will seamlessly implement this feature

Thank you for the knowledgeable reply.

This choice will still render a ton of devices basically e-waste for no real good reason

That entirely depends on how the mechanism is implemented.

For example you could have the website never knowing your actual ID but simply passing an encrypted string to the national server, which would return a 200 response if the document is valid. You could also have additional requests like "is the user 18+".

The website will just know the request is coming from something which has a valid ID available. The state will also not know which pages you browsed, only the domain of the request, just like with HTTPs your ISP does not know exactly the pages you browse but just the websites themselves.

And before someone talks about the state knowing your browser history: they already can by calling up your ISP, and they would get a lot more information than this mechanism would provide.

There is a freedom problem, there is a hardware problem and there is a social problem.

The freedom problem is this: you will not be able to roll your own keys.

This is probably the biggest nail in the coffin for a ton of computers out there. In theory you could simulate via software the workings of a TPM. If you built a kernel module the browser would have no real way of knowing if it sent requests to a piece of hardware or a piece of software. But the fact that you would have to use Microsoft's or Apple's keys makes this completely impossible.

The hardware problem is this: you will not be able to use older or niche/independent hardware.

As we established that software simulation is impossible, this makes a ton of older devices utter e-waste for the near future. Most Chromebooks themselves don't have a TPM, so even though they are guaranteed updates for 10 years how are they going to browse the web? (maybe in that case Google could actually deploy a software TPM with their keys since it's closed source). I have a few old business laptops at home that have a 1.X version of the TPM. In theory it performs just as well as TPM 2.X, but they will not be supported because, again, I will not be able to use my own keys.

Lastly there is the social problem: is DRM the future of the web?

Maybe this trusted computing stuff really is what the web is bound to become, either using your certified TPM keys or maybe your Electronic National ID card or maybe both in order to attest the genuineness of the device that is making the requests. Maybe the Wild West era of the web was a silly dream fueled by novelty and inexperience and in the future we will look back and clearly see we needed more guarantees regarding web browsing, just like we need a central authority to guarantee and regulate SSL certificates or domain names.

you can make people pay 10 cents a month for the software but the support is a separate subscription

>In country of 10 million people, we only have two tanks, that can deal with electric car fire.

so.... build more?

if there are too few fire extinguishers in a building do you scrap the building or do you commission more?

Yes, eliminating the temptation is the first thing to do.

How do you expect someone to stop binge eating if they have the kitchen full of prepackaged foods?

I think the biggest problem is the financial infrastructure.

We pay for software almost exclusively through digital means, but the fees are too damn high.

Imagine if transaction fees were zero.

Imagine if a piece of software you used costed 10 cents per months. Or someone's patreon or github sponsor was 5 cents per month.

And then imagine if starting and stopping the subscription was intuitive and super easy with any digital payment method you happened to use.

I could see the flood gates open and now developers who got basically nothing will get a ton of small contributions that together would make up quite a nice lump sum every month

>users can find the software somewhere else

and what happens when you release a new version? someone will have to be the first to pay, and most people who want to immediately upgrade will also pay the day it's released instead of waiting for some sketchy dude to upload the executable somewhere else

>WTF-8

truly an appropriate name

Same could be said about alcohol, coffee, spicy sauces, candy.

If you never tried one you'd think it's disgusting

Yes, next question?

Also, this is a really pitiful article. Very short, badly written, proves nothing. Why is it getting this many upvotes?
