Private Equity does not create efficiency and we do not need them. What they do is to take debt to buy healthy companies, transfer debt onto them and then kill them.

None of that is efficiency in any reasonable sense.

AMA was lobbying for more residencies for years. And residencies are the bottleneck.

Accidentally taking down production should not lead to firing. It should lead to improved process

Making up quotes for article, with technology or not, should lead to firing.

"should lead to firing..."

... and, also, improved processes. There should be no way an individual writer can damage the brand to this extent with absolutely no checks or oversight. This was just an error, but a bad actor could've put something far, far worse out there.

Even an automated quote-checker might have helped in this case.

Fact checking is a vital part of the editorial process and clearly that process failed here. Tech people often have a double standard when it comes to journalism--rules for thee but not for me. However the structure is fairly analogous, in that both professions ship under lots of time pressure where mistakes can be costly. I'm not sure, honestly, who is most at fault here or why only the reporter was terminated. But my comment above was to highlight that there shouldn't be a double standard--if you think a journalist should be fired for this kind of error it would be inconsistent to believe a software engineer shouldn't.

My comment was flagged. But, basic assumption should not be that Trump voters and Biden ones are symmetrical.

One group finds candidate who defrauds more then any other politician before appealing and right kind manly. They see him sexually harassing women appealing. Moreover all fascists vote for Trump. Both sides have bad people in ... but Trump side is defined by them.

There is no symetry here. This particular choice is literally showing that yes, you are more likely to be unfair kind of juror.

Any argument that attempts to sound serious but includes "Moreover all fascists vote for Trump" has disqualified itself.

Absolutely not. The time that would stay is the bad one.

With switch, we get reasonable half a years. Without it, it would be whole unreasonable year.

The biggest unreasonability is switching at all. I admit other points of view, but switching back and forth is a compromise that seems far worse than just sticking with one. Either one.

We seem to be in the worst situation now where not only does the EU change their time twice a year, they change it on a different schedule than US/Canada.

For a few weeks during the year, half of your meetings start at a different time. Everyone is confused.

Now add southern hemisphere

Why? Can't people adjust their schedules as needed?

Schools don't have to always start at the same time? And many jobs also not?

It's not like 9-17 work hours are set on stone?

And coordinating that change would be easier you think?

Coordinating that change for the RELEVANT parties, yes. IMHO that's a tiny part of a society.

Instead of everyone EVERYONE having to adjust clocks and their natural schedules. I think (and some studies agree with me) the stress and negative effects of that switching twice a year is much more on aggregate.

I don't personally see any benefit from daylight savings. But I also live at around 60+ degrees North: at peak summertime there is 19 hours of full daylight (barely gets dark the other hours), wintertime less about 5. Daylight saving does not really make a dent.

I completely agree they're a thing, but at what scale? The current administration has deported something like 600,000 illegal immigrants. What do you think their accuracy rate is carrying out those deportations? An accuracy rate of 50% would mean there'd be 600,000 errors. An accuracy rate of 70% would mean we'd expect to see around 250,000 errors. An accuracy rate of 90% would mean we'd expect to see around 67,000 errors.

A quick search [1] on this topic showed 50 people have been wrongfully detained. Even if we increase that figure substantially, it implies an extremely high success rate, which isn't really possible if you're just engaging in widespread fishing expeditions.

Stopped ≠ detained. The government doesn't release stats on who was stopped. Kavanaugh stops are literally about using race as a criterion for the stop. No other probable cause is required.

Not sure if you noticed, lower courts ruled against administration many times ... they were ignored.

And as a bonus upreme court practically ruled president can be lawless as he pleases.

Iran was/is Russian ally. Very prominent part of Russia is Chechnya. It is islamic and its leader is effectively Putins favorite pet. It is not as bad as Iran in treatment of women, but it is also not like Russia would care one bit about that.

Whole point of prediction market is unregulated gambling and manoy extraction and facilitatiom for psychopats.

It is not about "accurate prediction". That is just dumb rationalization.
