This is an indie developer questioning some hugely expensive corporate product,

Most of her music does nothing for me, but that’s art for you, there’s tons of painters that leave me cold, too. But I still appreciate her as an artist and a person.

You really jump at every excuse to talk trash about CDPR, huh?

Because I didn’t say a thing about abolishing the press.

Wut?

So the notion that if someone portrays you publicly or otherwise represents how you supposedly acted and what you said, you’d rather have it done accurately is some kind of elitist nonsense?

So, your evidence that these people are irrational is... they want lower healthcare costs? Well, gosh darn it, you sure showed me!

And I’m sure you’ll stick to cherrypicking quotes and ranting about “the left” because “the Truth(TM)“ is so much more important than integrity and honesty.

That wasn’t any special ability of his tweets. That was the media frothing at the mouth to get people’s attention. If they had ignored him like they should have he would have shut the fuck up. As for a trump presidency in 2024, you do know that was already a distinct and likely possibility, didn’t you? Don’t let it…

Well, that’s the key issue - how does it work in Poland? In Germany, you don’t even have to go to a doctor most of the time if you’re just calling in sick for a day or two, and there’s no realistic limit to those day-by-day sick leaves. You even get your salary paid for six weeks if you’re sick continuously, after…

Adding to this point I agree with, we also need to consider when it’s actually irresponsible to go to a doctor. If you’ve got a potentially contagious infection (but are doing okay) going to the doctor is going to be putting a significant number of other people at risk of infection, including high risk patients, just…

Ok so, I’m going to just explain some things because your comment is a bad take and VERY ignorant about a lot of things and people who are throwing stars your way are ignorant (I’m not saying your bad people, just really ignorant).

Except there’s no reason to limit the days for sick leave “per quarter”.

Except there’s no reason to limit the days for sick leave “per quarter”.

As someone involved in blood diagnostics, it was clear to me from the get go that the technology couldn’t deliver on all the promises - some, certainly. But if there’s one thing you can’t beat, it’s basic statistical implications.

Why was Silicon Valley involved in the first place?
Because Holmes, having no data to show, couldn’t get any money from health tech capital OR pharma. They want to see data.

Holmes is simply an earlier expression of the attitude that has accompanied us through the pandemic “Who needs to study, nobody needs a degree to understand medical science” and “Scientific rigor and governmental regulations are censorship trying to keep new ideas from flourishing”

How many other states has it affected?

Your interpretation of how the science “checks out” amounts to “We still can fill up the well after the calf has drowned”.

There are pretty much no characters in there. Most of the population is raving mad, and the rest has a personality as thin as a spider’s web.
