Instant armchair pundit: just add tokens!
Customer/Doctor/Insurance is the classic blame triangle.
Valid point! I believe they weren't.
sfm42: "MC should prove his own point! Buy a hospital and fix it!" cmiles8: "MC has improved similar areas!" These two statements don't disagree with each other. That's my point.
I'd guess the majority of those success stories are invisible to the end user. e.g. simply keeping the company afloat via PE cash. If I recall correctly, this is what happened to Hilton Hotels. They were collapsing…
That said... even though it reads like you're correcting him, you're simply reinforcing @sfn42's message...
Reminds me of the Surgery Center of Oklahoma which cause such a huge news buzz back in 2009ish for publishing packaged pricing. Brilliant move. (And they still do it!)
hopefully the MD that passes all the tests is still worth his salt even if he only chose the profession for the paycheck. but as one of the nearby professors is famous for saying: "C students gotta go somewhere." ( and…
It's definitely a normal-sounding, memorable word for us native English speakers. Meanwhile I won't be able to remember that German word longer than it takes me to close this tab. Vershumthingsomething.
Interesting way to say "never".
Wow, thanks! Somehow I've missed the 39 times the Onion has carried that headline. I guess I'm part of today's 10,000.
OK how is this on the homepage? The title means nothing without clicking the link and... I generally refuse to click on clickbait just to see whether there's a hook in it.
because it's a fad-ish response right now. A decade ago every "omg just use [answer]!" was to suggest blockchain solve your problem. Every possible problem seemed to have a solution that involved blockchain. ... now…
My first thought was that I'd argue that tally marks are "counting" not "writing" ...but... if "writing" is the act of conveying ideas through markings then... I guess it is kinda writing.
The "360" was the second xbox console but MS wanted a number that sounded bigger and better than "3". After all, which one is grandpa more likely to buy for little Johnny: "XBox 2" "Playstation 3" ? i guess it's like…
Yeah privilege is real in HN comments sections (and good on them for having high-quality problems). but as you imply "The dream of not-being-in-poverty" is a pretty solid dream.
I'm 3 days late on this so folks likely won't ever read or reply but I hope y'all will! I'm super curious about this point: > Name who deserves credit, in public. Use actual names, not “Thanks to the team.” I read a…
I was the same til I had kids. Now I'm trapped just like most everyone else. Every photo is just "okay" in the moment but .. five years later the difference is so big. 99.999% of these "precious" photos are dumped in a…
A "lab" is a place to experiment and grow. That the subject to experiment and grow with would be "crime" is a reasonable extension of the word, I suppose...

The concept that's MAGICAL in Reveal.js is vertical slides. e.g. https://revealjs.com/#/2/1 <-- from here you can go up or down, then go right to continue the presentation. You just make one slide deck with lightweight…
Oof. Pain may well be the "seasoning of life" but work is not pain. Work is the thing that helps one lift society up. We're all connected beings and one's occupation is how we each contribute to that society. The idea…
"we're training the public that they're 'buying' a revokable license, not the song" ~MPAA ;)
it's a frustrating pattern for sure. makes it so you can't reward good companies with return business. instead, we get the amazon-seller-experience: an ever-churning alphabet soup of fly-by-night companies hocking…
if you wear yourself out mentally all day as part of your occupation, digging into a "good" book is often too much work. As anecdata: My wife has a "brainy" occupation and her brilliant sister does not. Correspondingly,…
