  • Your Android phone will run Debian Linux soon (like some Pixels already can)

  • Honestly the steamdeck shows we are getting close. It works like that, just in a slightly bigger form factor and without some of the phone hardware.

    A little more tech advancement and I think this won't be that hard to do.

  • I'm no where near the CEO level, but I am a mid level manager. There are enough different things going on in my org that there is no way I could know how to do everything. However, I view my role as empowering and supporting those who do. I understand I can't do the things, so I spend most of my time listening to those who can. The problems come when people start thinking they know better than those doing the work. I strongly believe I work for my team, and if that ever gets me out of alignment with upper management, I've accepted that means I'll be let go. But this model has gotten me great success.

  • There's one other use case I love - i ask it to interview me or challenge me on my ideas. It can sometimes ask questions that cause me to rethink things. But in the end, I'm still the one doing the work. It's my advanced rubber duck.

  • The U.S. Economy Depends More Than Ever on Rich People | The highest-earning 10% of Americans account for almost 50% of all consumer spending.

  • Their underperformance is a higher savings/investing rate that leads to a greater wealth disparity long term. This is why redistribution (through taxes or other means) is so importantly to balance the scales.

    But as other commenter's have pointed out, my target would be billionaires not doctors and lawyers.

  • Layoffs every 2 years

    Jump

  • I'm in the situation you're talking about right now. There's an upcoming restructuring and on paper, I've been able to reposition my teams so there's no job elimination and I've found homes for everyone. I'm actually excited about the plan. But I've been around the block enough to know that my plan on paper might not be accepted, and that this is just phase one. The funding to contract externally needs to come from somewhere. Laying off entire teams might be what causes me to finally put my own job on the chopping block to save a few others. I could go back to being a staff dev and it's potentially not even much of a pay cut. But damn do I love everything else about my job, but mental load of these decisions, even when I know they're the best ones I could make, is a lot.

  • Economists say the GOP budget would destroy Medicaid and "disproportionately benefit the 1%"

  • Don't worry, many people in those situations will blame Obamacare when they get the bill (Edit: \s on the don't worry. Do worry, because this will absolutely happen)

  • Dallas police refuses to join ICE immigration raids, launches outreach meetings with migrants instead

  • How much you want to bet that ICE tries to raid one of these meetings?

  • Would love Asylum. Scared for my daughter growing up in this country right now. Realistically we'd have a hard time taking it and leaving our families, but I told my wife anything is on the table if our daughter needs it.

  • Dinner bell is going off

  • My wife has ARFID, and it's so hard on her. That's so interesting that you don't feel hunger, she definitely does but has a very very small list of safe foods she wants.

  • Image search makes it seem like this is a weevil. I have no knowledge of bugs to be clear, but looks pretty close.

  • If I had a nickel for every time someone says "this person's being a huge jerk to me but I think they might be neurodivergent"

    Jump

  • Intention vs Impact. I recognize that it might not be my intention and it might be fully outside my control, but I was being an ass. Being called out when I do it is good and important, because it helps me figure out next steps - how do I recover from what I missed, how do I make them feel heard, do I have the type of relationship with this person to share my ND?

    Part of accepting myself as ND is being able to be called an asshole, accept I was being an asshole, but understanding that it doesn't make me a bad person and I shouldn't feel bad about it since it was outside my control but use it as a chance to figure out the best next steps.

  • United Healthcare accused of denying claim of woman in coma in deleted post

    Jump

  • Claim is also a later step in the process. The first step is prior authorization. So they could deny the prior auth that leads to work not being done which leads to no claim to count as a denial. Or a patient doesn't submit the claim because it had a denied prior auth, so again no denied claim. 90% on claims is a terrible percentage.

  • Wife and I solved this by rule of 3. She gets to decide if she's suggesting options or making a choice. Whoever is suggesting options gives 3 choices. They must be something the other potentially likes. The other then either chooses one of the three or has to suggest 3 choices of their own. We rarely have to go past the original 3 options any more.

  • Here's the thing ... if there aren't buyers enough to maintain the price, the paper value isn't correct. This is an artifical scarcity, and this bill would be a bail out to the rich and leave the US taxpayers holding the bag when the market crashes. The US taxpayers would then own all this bitcoin with no way to sell without crashing the market so it's just a direct transfer of wealth to the current holders.

  • Is there any chance the buzzing is actually from what you have the PSU plugged into? I think ive had a surge protector that have a buzzing without anything drawing power that went away once something was consuming power.

  • Three-quarters of U.S. adults are now overweight or obese

    Jump

  • Those commercials are about to stop interesting enough. They were only able to be on market due to the main drugs being in a shortage, which allows special pharmacies (compounders) to make knock off versions without going through the whole process the main drug did and bypassing patents.

    The main drugs are now no longer in shortage, so in a few months, these compounders will not be allowed to sell those drugs.

  • My understanding too is that these pills work alongside lifestyle changes. They make it a bit easier to make the lifestyle changes in part by helping control appetite. But if you don't implement the lifestyle changes while taking them, you'll just put the weight back on when you stop.

    This comment is from a random guy on the internet familiar with some patient support programs that help people on these meds make those changes, so I would love corrected if I'm understanding this wrong.

  • There's no guarantee you can draw a circle through the bottom of the four legs of a table (opposite legs can be off in the same direction). Also, most floors are not perfectly flat, therefore you can't assume the floor is at one elevation.

  • His model actually accounts for whether polls were taken before or after an event, and raises and lowers their impact and error margin based on that. Right up to the debate, his model was giving Kamala a <30% chance and it's only the inclusion of new polls since the debate that have moved her to 50%.
