- darkersideI agree with you that the Fundamental Attribution Error typically wins the day. If people are making a mistake, find the systemic solution. But, it's critical to include Education as one of the potential components. If false readings are always a possibility, the alternative to expecting people to double check results is that we don't allow devices like this on the market.
- Agree. The linked FDA recall said the 7 deaths are "associated", which could just mean contemporaneous. This article is written by a new diabetic who doesn't seem to understand the disease very well yet, and is sensationalist in its reporting (perhaps unintentionally). They are probably opening themselves up to a defamation lawsuit here and are certainly disseminating misinformation, sowing FUD in service of an agenda, however well intentioned.
I rarely do this, but I'm flagging the article in hopes of limiting its exposure to new readers.
- > trust the body to clean up the mess
This is what I'd like to understand better, rather than operate on trust. A couple of other commenters have shared good context.
- Dumb question, but isn't there a risk of spreading cancer causing proteins throughout the body with this approach?
- Does anyone else agree with this the premise of this article? Is it sensible to put off building things now because it will get even cheaper and faster later?
Maybe the time value of time is only increasing as we go.
- Can you share any details? A teammate wants to change primary identifiers to a GUID, but I'm not sure it's a good idea.
- It makes a ton of sense in theory. In a fair market, you would want to prevent the insurer from charging super high premiums that let them make a large profit relative to the cost of care provided.
The problem is that it doesn't stop there. There is a second order effect.
- If it's so shallow, it seems like draining it would have little impact on flood risk
- Was this one of the OK ones?
- This is the same mechanism behind addiction (IMO, not a psychiatrist). The sustained attention becomes a feedback loop death spiral. Certainly the case for "light" addictions like caffeine, smoking, gambling, etc.
- It can also mean they properly assessed the risk and got incredibly unlucky
- Are you being serious or is this satire? What an odd perspective to share on Hacker News. We're a bunch of nerds that take pleasure in understanding how things work when you take them apart, whether that's a physics concept or a washing machine. Or am I projecting an ethos?
- ???
I'm theorizing that if this is truly a genetic trait that has been selected for, we'd see it appear before spleens were developed by breathing practice.
- I wonder if their babies also have enlarged spleens
- > working with a junior developer who may or may not be drunk or tired and doesn't tell you.
Bad news, friend.
Overall though, I think you're right. It's a lot like working with people. The things you might be missing are that you can get better at this with practice, and that once you are multiplexing multiple Claudes, you can become hyper efficient. These are things I'm looking into now.
Do I know these for a fact? Not yet. But, like any tool, I'm sure that the investment won't pay off right away.
- You don't think it's because wealthy older folks are nostalgic for their youth and have money to spend?
Seems like there is plenty of variety, just nobody telling everyone what specifically to listen to.
- It's funny, I generally agree with you, but this reminds me of old people complaining about rock music. Maybe the cacophony is the point, it's not to our taste, and we don't get it. But maybe it's also less and less our world anymore.
- And yet not everyone does. And even if you have everyone free housing, not everyone would take it. So now what?
When you ignore a homeless person, you are depersonalizing them on some level. If you saw every homeless person as a some or a daughter, a mother or a father, a best friend, a laughing child, a person doing their best, could you really walk by? Probably not. And they were all these things at one point, perhaps not too long ago.
- Something is going on here. If the company and team is excited about hiring you, there will typically be some flexibility unless you are already coming in at the top of their range, or above. In which case they should be telling you so, and even somewhat apologetic about it.
If that's not the case, they are not excited about you (in which case, why are they hiring you?), or you have not made your case firmly and clearly.
- Both are like the term aladeen. They mean something and its exact opposite. You can only determine from context.
