An interesting thread on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/nursing/comments/s5p4g1/how_many_fu...

There had to shutdown a few plants in the past few days. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/edf-shares-plunge-after...

Same thing in France. There's just one subject - Mathematics.

Things are just spread out from 6th grade to 12th grade and specialization only happens during the last 2 years of high school.

I'm not that confident I would be able to sell $1m worth of Bitcoin and use that money to buy hamster food.

that's the standard advice when handling a pet's death. Don't try to sugarcoat it.

Behind the bastards has a hilarious episode about it https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236...

I highly recommend watching https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoaVOjvkzQtyjhV55wZcdicAz...

They do such a good job at using video to explain Special Relativity.

I also watch PBS spacetime series.

I think https://youtu.be/dsCjRjA4O7Y is relevant here.

Please actually look at the change history in https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/history/NCT04368728

The completion date was changed multiple times since April 2020 and they clearly appended booster trials to the existing trials and pushed back the dates.

It truly is that simple.

The gravity video was instrumental in me finally understanding years of physics classes.

And the YouTube algorithm was actually really useful and made discover this series of video on special relativity: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoaVOjvkzQtyjhV55wZcdicAz...

Well, but do you vote for conservative candidate that may believe it?

So maybe a person is believes in X, but if they continue to vote for candidates or parties actively promoting "not X", you can understand why this advice rings hollow.

Not sure our opinion is that important.

Beyond answering questions from friends and family & reading r/Buttcoin for entertainment, I just don't want to spend time debating the issue with the occasional enthusiast.

I feel that Season 5 works a lot better if are a book reader. I totally get why the shift away from the gates is a bit confusing.

The Expanse was never a planet-of-the-week show. Exploring the impact of the new planets on the solar system and its people is also important.

One thing I'm a bit disappointed is the fact that they drop part of Mars storyline.

Amazon has had a very good last few years, between Mr Maisel to The Boys. I think they have figured themselves out.

Also, The Expanse.

I concur. My citizenship application was stuck for 2 years. I sent an email to the office of Pelosi and 2 months later I was at the oath ceremony.

So you disagree with the root comment. Raw footage is not enough.

You need investigative work by journalists and to trust them even if you disagree.

This twitter thread proves that there is no such thing as an unbiased interpretation of raw footage of that kind.

I'm sorry but I need an example. This is not my daily experience.

So like https://www.forbes.com/sites/beasleydavid/2020/05/27/google-...

Isn't that what neovim is trying to do?

He is making lots of wild predictions about technology and automation.

5G in toasters? Come on. Is 5G really such a ground breaking technology that will change everything?

Automating car manufacturing? Tesla tried and it failed them - https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/13/17234296/tesla-model-3-ro... No way Hyundai can do it tomorrow.

Replacing janitors with Roombas?? What the hell is he talking about.

Lots of promises about AI, but so far, it has underdelivered.

And Google has Piper and Srcfs http://google-engtools.blogspot.com/2011/06/build-in-cloud-a...

Always assume that what you say could be on the front page of the New York Times.

I'm certain this was reposted because they talked about this law on today's Radiolab broadcast (a repeat of a previous episode): https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/episodes/91697...

This is insane. Those power lines should've been put underground years ago.

California seems to always build infrastructure on the cheap.

Code search is a game changer.

Well, if UHC decides to negotiate hard and fails, then people will leave UHC and move to another insurer which is willing to pay those insane prices.

If country X (with single payer plans) does the same thing, the only choice the pharmaceutical company has is to not be covered by insurance, which mean they won't sell their drug. Also the state can just pass laws to make the pharmaceutical company life's miserable. UHC can't do that.

Price control works in other countries for healthcare.

Quelle catastrophe

Anecdotally, I see the situation in France (I'm from there). Unemployment is always high.

People have great healthcare, but they are still struggling with mininum income service jobs. They won't be ruined by a cancer diagnosis though.

I don't think any western countries has figured out how to expand the middle class in recent times without heavy subsidies (in the US, we are effectively subsidizing those jobs with our high costs)

This is the core problem. I'm all for Medicare for all, but what to do with the many physician assistants, nurses, billing specialists that the US is employing and promoting as a middle class career as we speak.

These people will not just stay silent when they become unemployed because practitioners can't afford to keep them. You need retraining programs (in what? Beats me ...), fund unemployment insurance ...

The point is that things don't happen in a vacuum.
