Also, what a trash headline. But it is the nytimes, and they've taken a huge fall.
"don't do this specific thing" (click to find out!)
"this one weird trick you must do" (click to find out!)
"you won't believe how annoying this headline type is!" (click me)
Rarely. Most could be summarized in email.
It can sometimes be acceptable for a broad overview of a subject, but it's so full of opinion, inaccuracy, and misinformation that it should have near zero credibility for anyone who is seeking truth and bias-free knowledge. Appropriately, it has zero credibility in any credible academic environment BTW.
There are plenty of other impolite subjects that are inappropriate to discuss at work too.
LOL WTF, no!
Hopefully the new keyboard is reliable.
The Touch Bar is forgettable and a row of physical function keys would be an improvement. I don't know any "pro" user who likes the Touch Bar or who wants to look down at the keys when typing or interact with a microscopic touch screen.
Still puzzled by the lack of ports for a pro laptop. It's 16" with a huge body, not particularly thin or light, and they couldn't add two USB-A, SD slot, HDMI? The age of a dozen dongles continues.
64GB RAM option is a big plus, though the prices are 2x-3x market.
Presumably the SSD is still soldered onboard, which basically makes these unrepairable and disposable premium priced laptops.
Overall far better than what it replaced, but still missing some key features from the 2015 MBP line which remains the best Mac laptop ever made.
Will be interesting to see if they ditch the 13" and move to a 14" with similar specs.
Note the article is about reducing health care costs, not patient outcomes. These are usually two separate goals.
Of course not, but why spoil the outrage mobs victimhood narrative du jour?
That seems like a high death rate for hospitalizations, does it not? Would be interesting to see the breakdown of admissions and cause of death.
Otherwise, don't overthink it.
Disagree if you consider that many people are getting mortgages on overvalued properties at or near market peaks now, and in another significant downturn those could easily be underwater by 15%-50%. The same thing happened widely in the prior real estate bust in many trendy areas, leading to many foreclosures.
Anyway I'd think production/manufacturing and quality assurance would be more to blame, particularly if the same products used to perform better than now.
Don't give words so much power.
Trying to bend laws to ban words and speech you don't personally like is really not a good idea, in case it isn't blatantly obvious as to why: it will only be a matter of time before your speech is the target.
That's probably a part of it, a long running joke in the skier community was that "REI is an acronym for Return Every Item."
That plus blatantly notably lower quality Chinese production probably put an end to it.
That might be why
An old dusty document should settle that one quickly.
There is no shortage of bad opinion pieces with all sorts of terrible politically driven opinions out there. This is one of them.
