  1. Medicaid does cover children
  2. Of course you can like your targeted ads/data collection and not the restaurant's targeted experience...the restaurant isnt paying you!

    So yes you're a hypocrite, but no one really cares--most people are.

  3. Libreoffice isn't the alternative, office on web is. And even that is still gimped compared to Windows Excel. (Which is the true killer app for professional use of Windows in general)
  4. >well...they act weird, a bit more frenzied and not necessarily more productive on deep thinking tasks.

    This matches up with some research on that exact subject.

    "Our findings suggest that “smart drugs” increase motivation, but a reduction in quality of effort, crucial to solve complex problems, annuls this effect."

  5. That's how you can tell it's a joke
  6. They sell those kinds of bags here too, but these are the ones that a lot of people in this thread are talking about

  7. I just use them like trash bags /bin liners. I have fabric reusable ones I just forget or are unable to bring half the time.

    Re: throwing them out vs recycling them, our bags you can only recycle at the store themselves...so just a bit too much friction to bother with. I can't recall ever seeing or hearing of anyone recycling them that way either.

  8. I reuse them once and throw them away, exactly the same way I did with the thinner bags.
  9. It's completely unreasonable to expect it to be sustainable. Why wouldn't Google eventually crack down on completely negative value customers?

    When you use the actual numbers instead of a theoretical argument it falls apart even quicker. These are message board arguments, not ones you'd make with a straight face in person.

  10. >Why do you think this?

    Because people with that much data know how much it costs to buy hard drives to store that much data.

    Ask any of them how Google was supposed to make money off of them as a customer and watch them go for a gold in mental gymnastics.

  11. You do see but you're choosing to make an argument for the sake of "sticking it to MegaCorp" or something similar.

    Every single person who had these 100+ TB plans knew it was unsustainable. When you have that much data you know how much it costs for hard drives to store that much data.

    If the article had actually stated the amount the guy paid per month (what,$20-$60?) everyone would know that he should've known this was coming.

  12. If this is your attitude, I hope there are people in your line of work that make it their personal hobby to bait you into getting you fired like this guy did.

    What this is is pure scumbaggery using the guise of public service. It's akin to those "first amendment auditors" on YouTube.

  13. Why not think about it as being able to charge other devices with your laptop cable?
  14. Regular nitro is worth it for custom emojis across multiple servers or in DMs. (assuming you use discord often)

    Nitro+ used to be worth it for the unique numbers after your username as a mild flex, but once they changed that I canceled my sub.

  15. When did they stop operating there? I thought they just stopped showing news.
  16. You can't use ADB to remove it?
  17. Well yeah, because

    1) you're guilt tripping them

    2) you're giving them cover if they get asked about it

    It's much nicer to work at a grocery store pharmacy than a dedicated retail chain because of this

  18. At least on the Rx side, it's really not that hard to have a general idea. Youre prescribing mostly the same medication over and over and patients give feedback, so knowing a general discount card price isn't difficult.

    If the patient has a weird formulary or a high deductible, that's on them to understand.

  19. >but the biggest thing that makes me -- mad are the climate change deniers.

    Don't say things like "life is barely enjoyable anymore" if you have any aspirations of changing their minds. (and you should if you care about the environment)

    It's primarily an in/outgroup deal and what they perceive as melodrama just makes the divide worse. These people usually hunt/fish/enjoy the outdoors too. You can connect with that.

  20. So what? The tradeoff is that you make much less money with your mindset in exchange for impressing people on an internet forum.
  21. Even worse this kind of critique is actively cancerous to new developers if they actually think that people outside of HN care about this.

    Development productivity over everything. Features matter not app binary size.
