mrcu5··on Dots don't matter in Gmail addresses
I'm confused. Do people just assume they can think of an email address and Google somehow knows and assigns it to them automatically?

Like they're signing up for something and put in "santosh83@gmail.com" and think "My name is Santosh and I was born in '83. Google obviously knows this and will send me this email!" ????????

mrcu5··on When To Chat: Reconcile Time Zone Differences
That's the whole point of the site. If I'm trying to figure out what time it is for my co-worker in Canberra Australia, I don't want to have to Google what time zone they are in (Australian Eastern Daylight Time). Just put the city in and it does the math for you.
mrcu5··on DuckDuckGo is good enough for regular use

mrcu5··on Single-payer healthcare would save $450B and 68k lives a year: study
My wife is a pediatrician and sees about 80% medicaid patients. People absolutely go in more often than they need to because they don't pay a single cent. I'm talking going to the ER because their kid has a cough or is running a fever. These are usually also the most demanding patients.
mrcu5··on Away’s former CEO is returning as its co-chief
To quote Oscar from The Office:

Look, it doesn't take a genius to know that every organization thrives when it has two leaders. Go ahead, name a country that doesn't have two presidents. A boat that sets sail without two captains. Where would Catholicism be without the popes?

mrcu5··on A podcast that hacks Ring camera owners live
The title makes it sound like there is a security issue with the cameras, but the "hacks" are from password leaks.
mrcu5··on The We Company S-1
To do what? I'm not too familiar with them but what more do they have other than a website to look at potential spaces with some photos and a description and sign up for one? Maybe process payments as well?
mrcu5··on How to parent more predictably (2018)
Slide 9 times, then head over to the jungle gym. Never leave the park!
mrcu5··on Why doctors hate their computers
It did mention scribes. Even talked about virtual scribes in India.
