Not to get too bogged down with details, but this winter she is looking to change EMR systems. The current one is the most expensive/established EMR for her field.

Rent is 12,000 dollars of expenses. EMR is almost trivial.

I don't agree on the private doctor practice. Source, married a dr

Worst, worst case, the ~15k/yr in rent, ins, and software put a dent in profits, but if each visit is min 75$, you can figure out how hard it is to break even. Upper revenue is 200k+/yr

I'm not sure I can agree. I'll give a few examples.

"Free clothing" quality has gone up and become more fitted. Instead of 1 gender neutral size, clothes are by gender, and fabric softer. Stitching seems unchanged. I've had to purchase these for groups.

High quality clothing has more accents. Quality of fabric is secondary to aesthetics.

Until Americans find Physicians (and Pharmacists) as the enemy, it will never happen.

They(AMA and APA) are top lobbyists that entrench themselves using monopolistic practices.

Sure school can cost 500k, but with 200 to 300k+ per year salaries, they can kill that debt. (This is their common defense)

I'm not a fan of giving anyone free polution.

I was born into a world where people can "litter" in the air without fine.

Could we simply consider this littering? If you want to drive a car, you must pay for your own polution cleanup.

(I find this works better with conservatives as I call the alternative socialized air)

Makes me wonder if the pro Firefox and Anti Google threads are part of the marketing ...

I'm with you.

Mods currate the front page, so everything I read here seems like an advertisement.

Completely agree. I do not want to restrict any users.

Annoying how hard it is to be independent of FAANG control.

I wonder where they get productivity data.

An owner of a company I'm close with found her employee was abusing work from home. This same employee was formerly a Superstar or so we thought.

Maybe bad management, but I found myself calling a 7 hour work from home day 8 hours too.

The 10k rule got me started programming when I was 17.

I don't have a billion dollar app, but I use programming at work to increase my value tremendously.

I want to challenge this with having a low value skill, like playing sports, doing 10k hours, and seeing if the person could make 50k a year.

I'm not sure what an "elite" college teaches that a "regular" college doesn't.

Maybe quality of student is better, but the content seems negligible.

Heck I find the personalities of young "elite" grads need additional shaping in the real world.

Anyone who calls it a tulip isn't taken seriously.

I don't believe in the hype of altcoins, but I do see the problems Bitcoin solves.

Windows is inferior to MacOS?

Bold claim given Enterprise exclusively uses Windows.

Your opinion might tarnish your reputation

I don't understand.

Out of every company in tech, Google has made my life fantastic.

I don't understand the Google hate, I don't know where it comes from. People don't like getting relevant advertising, but they do like when Apple closes off their App store 'for safety'.

I don't know why the double standard. I personally think this is a massive advertising campaign from one of the FAANG companies and we are the tools that discuss it.

Switching browsers is easy. I have 3 on my desktop.

This is a non issue for me.

But I agree with your premise, Apple has been pulling this for a decade, consumers and developers all lose.

Can't we use history to figure out what's going happen next?

The executive branch turns into a dictatorship (by definition, not slander, and definitely no change to the Constitution or Congress)

Taxes will be too high on the masses, revolt happens, rich politicians fracture the country.

Isn't this what always happens?

I don't see how that is relevant.

If I don't use Apple products, I can't get my apps removed by the Chinese government.

I'm not sure how Apple does this, but they will promote a negative feature as a positive thing.

Then their fan base, or astroturfers will share this idea whenever it comes up.

I wonder how we will look back at Apple as we better understand the human psychology.

Don't buy stuff from them.

Easy. So easy.

To be fair, Apple users consider it a benefit to not have control over their phones.

I know right? It's crazy people pay more money for less.

I'm not sure how to teach Apple users, they seem to find an excuse for every anti-consumer thing they do.

So why would you change to a less reliable company?

I could never trust Apple given their track record.

Plus, their hardware is overpriced for what you get.

I genuinely have a hard time understanding the appeal. It seems to have the Gucci brand name, maybe integrations but I don't feel this is lacking on Android, and maybe privacy but I don't trust Apple for privacy.

Apple has bent the knee plenty of times to China.

If you really are an Android user, this should not be news. You can put any app on your device. Only Apple restricts you.

Elon has contributed to space? I thought he was a military/nasa supplier.

If anyone has insight, I'm interested.

Side project + hobby = euphoria.

Find the intersection

Don't take any of their awards seriously.

It's become a politicized award rather than merit.

Ignore and move on.

Google sold out to China how?

I'm shocked you love a 50,000 dollar car when your last car was 8 years old budget car.

Reminds me of comparing this year's iPhone to a no name Android.

Op, did you realize you did this?

'The best business man serves the communal good.'

I'd be curious to see a survey of founders of FOSS and hear their take.

Do people not understand this is how pensions work.

If your company isn't there when you retire, you don't get a pension.

I find it incredibly risky to rely on pensions. I don't quite understand why employees are so excited about non cash benefits.
