short12··on Ask HN: Why is medical software so hard to use?
As a patient I've given tech support to nurses that are stuck with the unbelievable piece of shit software known as epic

I wonder how much fraud and abuse is done because of that software. The lack of interoperability between different providers and even different locations from the same provider

I've never committed fraud, but I've used the systems crappyness to my advantage many times

It's a complicated ui built upon a shitty data model that wildly varies. I think the developers must have heard "ui and schema" well fuck all that noise

short12··on A U.S. submarine struck an underwater mountain last month, the Navy says
Why would someone refer to a moose or an elk as a deer?
short12··on The metaverse is already here – it's Minecraft
Cool, I have now just lost the little interest I had in the metaverse because Minecraft is really stupid
short12··on Suspected head of $21B crime syndicate may be world’s most innovative drug lord

And needles are not even required

short12··on Zillow seeks to sell 7k homes for $2.8B after flipping halt
>They were pretty sure they had an edge at price-estimation

If they actually thought that they must have been high af

Their tool is absolutely terrible

short12··on Zillow seeks to sell 7k homes for $2.8B after flipping halt
Correction, Zillow core business is crappy advertising
short12··on Attempting to interpret sperm whale clicks with AI, then talk back
The first commercial use will be slamming them with advertising
short12··on Facebook’s Meta mission laid out in a 2018 paper written by an Oculus executive
They do understand the Oculus was a stupid product that sucked in terms of quality right?
short12··on Zillow has listed 93% of the hundreds of Phoenix homes it owns at a loss
If you actually paid 20 percent for that I have a bridge to sell you
short12··on Zillow has listed 93% of the hundreds of Phoenix homes it owns at a loss
Staging is actually counterproductive

Anyone can take pictures

Most people already have the printout via some website

The network connections is a myth. If it's on MLS everyone that counts is already seeing it

short12··on Zillow has listed 93% of the hundreds of Phoenix homes it owns at a loss
Its not just in hot markets. That is myth
short12··on Zillow has listed 93% of the hundreds of Phoenix homes it owns at a loss
10 percent is insane, most sellers with an agent pay 4-6 percent

And honestly the cheapest way to get it done is a sign in your yard, a flat fee broker to get it on the MLS and a lawyer to finalize the sale

Zillow and agents are not doing Jack shit to earn the commission they get

short12··on Zillow has listed 93% of the hundreds of Phoenix homes it owns at a loss
Maybe they relied on their own piece of shit Zestimate tool

They would have been better off pricing based on a dartboard

short12··on Schoellkopf Power Station Disaster – a history
Oh my a shtml file in the wild. That's like spotting bigfoot or a payphone
short12··on Ask HN: If the Internet were redesigned today, what changes would you make?
No ads at all
short12··on The metaverse is bullshit
They wouldn't be the first high power and highly profitable tech company to fade away...
short12··on The metaverse is bullshit
That honestly sounds incredibly awful. I would block those messages from even coming through. Ugh. I can't overemphasize how terrible that would be if it becomes standard
short12··on The metaverse is bullshit
Audio file txt messages are so stupid I just delete them. It says "you were not important enough to talk to, fuck you"
short12··on The metaverse is bullshit
I like them for doctor appointments and basically hate them for absolutely everything else. Job interviews, meetings, family things. They are all a terrible experiences

Virtual medicine is the one thing that is really useful because the majority are of doctor visits are a waste of time and I go to the doctor a lot, if not once a week sometimes 3 in a single week. That doesn't even count the 2 times a week I usually have to go for a blood draw. Outside of the lab I honestly can't recall the last time in person part being necessary

short12··on Investors Spent Millions on ‘Evolved Apes’ NFTs. Then They Got Scammed
They got scammed when they bought the stupid nfts in the first place
short12··on An NFT Just Sold for $532M, but Didn’t Sell at All
Am I missing something. I just looked and the gas fees on shib seem pretty low
short12··on Closing email with “thanks” gets the most replies
I'm not surprised."regards" Just sounds dumb
short12··on Microsoft passes Apple to become the most valuable company
Of course he is going to belittle another company's achievement but Microsoft had zero chance in the mobile game in the first place and they knew it

Saying the windows phone was half assed is being generous

short12··on Microsoft passes Apple to become the most valuable company
Balmer doesn't get enough credit but he was exactly what was needed during that pretty long timeframe. But nadella taking it from there was an equally good decision

I think balmer got to be the fall guy for a lot of things and that was why he was put in as CEO

short12··on New Orleans shoeshine man wins legal battle over $30k seized by DEA agents
Good now reduce the budget of the DEA by 30k * 1000 percent

It would be a start

short12··on Zillow’s Zeal to Outbid for Homes Backfires in Flipping Fumble
That isn't untrue regarding local agents, banks etc having up to date info

Pending sales are updated as soon as it's A/O

It's usually problematic because people suck at searching for comps. And agents are no better at it than anyone else

short12··on Firefox on Unix is moving away from X11-based remote control
I hear all the pushback on Wayland with boastful claims about x11

X11 has been crap since I started exclusively using Linux in 1998

Is junk, it's unstable, slow and bloated. Why people grasp onto the network aspect is beyond me. The model is horrendous and outdated and little used at that. Better alternatives have blown x forwarding out of the water years

short12··on Earn.com will ruin email if it succeeds (2018)
It might as well be a data source of verified numbers. The FCC is totally useless when it came to enforcement
short12··on Ask HN: Meta Question Does FAANG Become Maang or Manga?
Excellent boondock saints reference

"I mean the fat man"

short12··on Apple Reports Fourth Quarter Results
Why does apple use aspx? Not only is that strange but does anyone really use that anymore?
