For what it's worth, they are working on a bunch of store redesigns to incentivize people to stay in stores. It probably hasn't hit your area yet.

All that said, I do think it is a sorry state when Starbucks is the only/best third place option.

The electronic system often benefits complex patients more than someone like you. All your relevant history could fit on a few pages.

But if you have many illnesses, medications, and unclear causes - then having all the data documented and available to different doctors you may see is helpful.

As the article points out, there is a huge market for selling these tools. And this is a forum of many developers.

When there is no actual code or full explanation of how the vibe coding process works, it seems like a straight up ad with no useful info.

That is my feeling at least. And I'm even open to these tools - my current assumption is that I am just bad at them. I'd like to see more examples of how to deliver on all these promises.

It might be shilling, but it might also be someone just putting out low effort content to get traffic

I was actually referring more to what could be wrong with the code that they would want to hide?

There is some consideration for other patients who may die due to not getting an MRI in the meantime

They gonna to get an MRI while the guys corpse is stuck to the machine?

It's just about going outside your expertise.

There's some things I know a bit about... But if I was spouting off about skydiving when I know little about it, that makes me an asshole. Especially, to extend the metaphor, if I was spreading misinformation that led to people being hurt.

Anyways, like I always say, parachutes are optional really.

Having a general opinion about things outside your very specific area of expertise in the world does not make you an asshole. It makes you a human being, and just as the comment above is also spouting an opinion outside the poster's area of expertise (unless he's an immigration policy and political analysis expert), the same right applies to a skydiver. I have a profession, but I also have opinions on many subjects I've read about in some depth. I should keep my mouth shut about them due to a lack of professional certifications because some people find it convenient to harp on that out of their own ideological fixations? Absurd nonsense.

Also, an opinion that doesn't tick all the check boxes of pro-immigration and open borders isn't automatically "hurtful misinformation" You should really qualify that particular line of censorious bullshit. More recently, the biggest fans of narratives about hurtful misinformation that I've seen tend to be authoritarians on the right, curiously enough.

You shape your public image by deciding what you talk about.

Do you want to be known as a legendary skydiver? Then talk about the amazing achievements and plans for the future you made.

Do you want to be known as a former athlete with questionable political views? Then go talk to the media doubling down on stupid memes you posted on facebook.

I have no interest in learning more about the latter. I guess that's why most of us eventually forgot about him until he tragically passed away today.

I can't think of a more bland misuse of a public image than keeping it strictly neutral so that it doesn't offend the ideological fetishes of people who just want you to shut up if you deviate from whatever they indulgently decide is correct.

Like any human being, an athlete can have other opinions on other things and all the right in the world to express them without having to be a certified expert. You're doing the same now, as did the comment above. That's the only qualification necessary.

I think we disagree on what we consider bland. I consider people reposting right wing memes on facebook extremely bland. People who blame all the problems on "the foreigners" are so common that I just don't care to listen to them.

If thats what you want to read about in the media, good for you, because that's what social media (and traditional media) provide plenty of.

I just wish that people who accomplish exceptional things would focus on those exceptional things instead of using their enormous publicity to stir controversy by sharing bland right wing talking points.

>Even Elon

I think that is the wrong framing. I'd be more surprised if someone with no real government experience has much success with that venture.

I'd rather have someone with years and years of experience with DoD budgets and the expertise to prioritize the right cuts.

>neoliberal homogeneity route

I'm not sure how Japan is not neoliberal or how this label relates to their culture. I think you are conflating neoliberalism with western pop culture more broadly?

Warsaw and New York absolutely do not have the same look to them. (Haven’t been to Dubai to compare.)

I didn't say the cities look the same, I said many modern places in them do. And yes, for example Hudson Yards looks quite similar to a typical mall in Warsaw (e.g., the main one by the train station.) There is nothing about either mall that screams "this is a unique place."

I don’t think many people judge cities by their malls.

>because that's what health "experts" say we need to do.

You remain unconvinced that vegetables are good for you?

Doublethink

If you drink it all the time you are used to the taste. At least that's how it is for me
