Kind of an apples to oranges comparison. There are a lot of fundemental differences between Denmark and US which would impact the outcome.

Instead, let's take a look at government funded healthcare right in the US: The VA. A quick look should tell us everything we need to know about expanding such a system to cover all citizens.

Oh...oh no. No no no no.

Mind you, the VA is aimed at our soldiers. The people we depend on to defend our borders. Look what we do to those we should be celebrating! Now imagine what would happen to your average, ordinary every day joe. Or worse; imagine it gets politized by "the other side" ( which ever side you don't like ); can you imagine the republicans in charge of universal healthcare and you need an abortion? Or the democrats in charge and a heart attack victim comes in with a "Donor" dot on his DL and a MAGA hat on?

Thank you, no. There are far too many horrible, yet likely outcomes to this idea.

Thanks for the museums. Seriously. Kids in SJ have all grown up with field trips to those and it’s amazing to think you gave up billions to fund museums for everyone rather than buy an NBA team. We met a few times in the 90s at the eyeglasses store in Oakridge Mall and you were always more smiles than frowns.

The stress of the interview gives you a better insight into how they will react when presented with an unexpected situation. I’d never want a bullshitter on the team. A quick, “I don’t know offhand. I could look into it. Why do you ask?” is better to figure out their motivation, if there’s a project related to that, or how it’s important to them. In my career it has always benefitted me more to not give bullshit answers and get more understanding of what the client needs. The interviewer can tell immediately if that person is trained to think that way rather than an individual contributor who sees only a task to be completed.

Hey MS, I have an idea: How about you FINISH BAKING YOUR OS. It's a radical idea, but it just might work.

Streamline your control panels, make sure they all *work*. That'd go a long way in making your OS better.

Then you could take a quick look at usability; it shouldn't take me a dozen clicks to do something I routinely need access to. Oh, and stop fucking with the start menu if your so hot on people using it.

I could see voice input being a niche ( for those with accessibility issues ), but it's not going to replace the mouse and keyboard, anymore than touchscreen did.

...but charging speed improvements would minimize the importance of this metric. I don't care if I can only go 200miles on a single charge if it takes less than 3-5 minutes to recharge it.

prototypes.
maybe build a test vehicle to scale that would shuttle back and forth to mars

Right, I was ignorant of something...so I asked a question. That's generally how things work.

whataboutism is an argumentative fallacy. Doesn't apply here.

So...yes, you were just being a cunt.

It's called a legitimate question; I didn't have the data you had, so I asked the question I was curious about.

Don't be a cunt.

Given the unit will undoubtedly spend most of the time "off", what about power consumption when the unit is turned off? We know most appliances today aren't really "off" when they're "off", so why not look at that?

They obviously had IT in some capacity; whoever they had set it up did them dirty if they didn't emphasize the importance of backups.

I know; I've been "that guy" who helped out a small company get on their IT feet, as it were. I always stressed the importance of backup routines, of how to take care of their data. I gave them scenarios where, if I get called for X, I won't be able to help them if they weren't on top of their backup routine. I always asked them what that'd mean to them and their business. I made a point of driving this home.

Of course I've received those calls, and I've asked the question, "What do the backups look like?". If they're my customers their backups are usually up to date and ready to go. An evening's worth of work, maybe a weekend, and they're back in business.

If they aren't, then my price just went up. WAAAY up.

It was unthinkable to run a company without reliable backups 25+ years ago. Today I'd call it criminal negligent. How many more stories does the CIO need before s/he make this a priority?

Just incredible how this keeps happening.

would this greed based proposal slow down californias achieving its 2035 renewable energy goal.
leading by example is not trivial

As a young programmer I watched senior coders get laid off and realized several things:

1) The more you make, the more attractive the target for cost reduction
2) You could have extensive knowledge about coding and a specific codebase, it won't save you.

Since then I spend my free time finding skills that my current environment is lacking, then develop those skills and put them to use. In the intervening 20+ years in the field, I have never once been laid off despite making what I make ( admittedly violating rule #1 ). Even were I laid off, I have several companies that would jump at the chance to have me back ( given my skillset and work ethic ).

I think working for larger corporations stifles people; they let themselves get comfortable in the pigeon hole they've been assigned, so they are ill prepared when lean times come.
