Anterior is improving the experience of healthcare for everyone. Our agentic orchestration platform makes clinical decisioning frictionless for RNs and MDs.

About You: You have a passion for doing things The Right Way, you believe Less is More, you want to focus on Foundations of system design and architecture (pacelc, consistency guarantees), you care as much about what code you do not write, you’re tired of the hype treadmill and care about the fundamentals. You have battle scars from overengineered and underperforming slop, and you care about writing code that lasts.

I've often thought companies should provide say $500/month for each of their developers to pay out to the open source projects of their choice. One month an employee might give it to Vim, another to Curl. I think a discretionary scheme like that would buy a lot of good will from the employees, potential hires and the development community.

There's nothing like milk in pint bottles on the doorstep. I use https://www.milkandmore.co.uk

I think you mean that _you_ pronounce them differently. I've heard 'Nike' pronounced in more ways than any other brand name; I myself pronounce it in at least two different ways.

It's interesting that you see the relationship between a Catholic and his/her church as analogous to that between a corporation and their "users".

While believers in 'ethical consumption' would say that the moral principles of producers certainly should be a concern for consumers, not everybody agrees. But when choosing a religious creed, the behaviour of the founders and keepers of the faith is surely of paramount importance.

Can you really say that issues of child abuse are not interesting to Catholic followers, because they "just use the product"?

> It is in his contract that he cannot blog or otherwise express his opinion

Exactly what is so ridiculous. That it wasn't a arbitrary decision doesn't make it a good one.

> That's like saying mechanics classes should be required

I think mechanics class should totally be required. I'm often amazed that we force children to study subjects like geography or physics, that are important but only if you're interested in them and not terribly practical anyway.

I think all children should have to learn basic life skills to enable them to control their physical and social environment ('hack' in the context of this article). Subjects such as driving, mechanics, basic electronics, law, small business, tax, nutrition, rhetoric, negotiation, plumbing etc. etc. And those just off the top of my head.

All 'academic' subjects should merely be introduced and then left up to the student to choose to pursue. What on earth is the point of filling children's heads full of history (for example) if they aren't interested? They forget every word of it a year after their final exam anyway.

> หาเมนบอร์ดช๊อคเกต775

'Haa men bord chok ket 775' = 'Find motherboard socket 775.'

I would have thought that 'socket' would be a direct English transliteration, and use ซ (s) not ช (ch) though.

Are you in Thailand, Jacques? Also, what makes you think this is such an uncommon phrase? It may not rival English, but there are plenty of Thai speakers out there, in many countries.

> in England you'd study whatever your father studied. If he was a blacksmith, you were a blacksmith

The idea that England had (and has) no social mobility is quite wrong. People have been climbing the social ladder since long before the Industrial Revolution.

It may help you in some ways to think of the new America as opposed to everything Britain stood for, but I think that is mostly incorrect. The philosophies and values of the Age of Enlightenment came from a long history of European thought. America was far closer to a young son continuing and realising the father's long held hopes and ideas with fresh blood and the chance to start on its own feet.

The kind of teacher/pupil coach/athlete relationship you are talking about is expressly not what Universities have historically aimed to provide. A University gives a student access to resources (including mentors), and time to study, it _does not_ provide someone to continuously watch over you in the way you describe.

In fact, you are only really tested to see if you have improved once in an entire bachelor degree -- at the end of it.

Perhaps it's worth pointing out that Americans receiving funding are already "getting money because of something [they] have no control over", like their nationality.

I am assuming here that an investor would be more likely to invest in an entrepreneur with a green card. They would certainly be saving money by doing so.

There had been a donation drive the week prior to that, which was very well supported. I think people were saying that they thought the idea of 'paid accounts' just wasn't going to work as well as the donation drive had. The idea being that once people are paying for a actual service they expect more for their money.

After all, they're aiming for 2% of the userbase subscribing. That's a large number when they're offering basically nothing of value in return. I know other 'freemium' business get 1-2% subscribers, but surely that's when they're offering a real improvement in the service, such as Dropbox's 2GB -> 20GB.

> the US should get some kind of old-government distinction

"Washington's time" was only 270 years ago! As experiments in government go, the USA is still a spring-chicken.

There is no difference between 'pulp' and Shakespeare. Shakespeare wrote for the crowds of his day. The difference you allude to is between 'good' and 'bad' writing, according to your personal preference.

'Pulp' refers to popularity, not literary merit.
