Virtually all medical info in the US is sent in plain text via the numerous MLLP connections that just rely on the local network’s access level to maintain security. Big companies act like it is enough and HIPAA is a paper tiger here.

Here in Washington state, it's a fine of over $500 to not be able to present insurance proof on demand when pulled over...

Next you'll want us to prosecute coal company executives for air pollution that killed millions? PFAS makers and companies that distribute it in products causing cancer for dozens of generations? Capitalism needs compliance! /s

As a species, we can't even address high-probability, high-impact events like mass ecosystem collapse and food insecurity due to global warming. This is just another kind of doom on the pile.

While on my high school math team, we weren't allowed to use calculators at school. Being able to work quickly without one was too important.

It's like it turns everyone into a CEO with all the yes men they could ever ask for! Never goes wrong!

I recently mentioned that my team and most of my dev friends don’t use AI for code on a gamdev forum (we do stuff like distributed consensus, compilers, etc.). I was quickly denounced as “an arrogant douche”.

Hard to guarantee it's private if you don't keep it local... I don't have a lot of trust for companies in this space.

As someone in the Venn diagram intersection of "software engineer" and "studied climate/astrophysics/planetary science" in school, reading comments here is painfully disheartening. Virtually everyone highly engaged in this field is anticipating multiple, systemic apocalyptic scenarios that will end modern life as we know it. I'd assume that most of the people reading have enough of a calculus background to understand some of the underlying math. I implore you to find a good book or course on it.

I worked on their Power Play downloadable system to embed games in a local player and also did stuff like add Mojo Jojo and new levels to games like Power Puff Girls Fast and the Flurrious. They had a mini golf game with a 3d golf club I embedded that I spent more time playing than working on :)

Alas, we're back to 1989. Bush did the same to Noriega in Panama when he stopped playing ball with the CIA.
