If there’s nothing wrong with Marxism then his comment is a golden opportunity to show all the positive outcomes of Marxist policies/governments.

> That left a roughly $20 billion annual shortfall in California’s health-care budget. … In response, one of the state’s largest health-care-employee unions teamed up with a group of progressive economists and lawyers to come up with a way to make up the difference: impose a one-off 5 percent wealth tax on California’s billionaires.

It’s wild how dominant this proposal is. Not reducing costs. Not cutting benefits. Not a broader tax increase. Not a combination of ideas. Just “f*k these guys in particular.” If this is what passes for governance in California I’d leave too.

The inability of your friends to have non-political conversations can be a big part of isolation. I follow the “no politics, no religion” rule when I go out and it’s served me well.

You can have political/religious conversations with people who disagree but often it feels like walking in a mine field.

Do you have tests at least? Seems reckless to yolo the codebase if you don’t or can’t test easily.

It looks good. I think they could be doing this to help people recognize iOS icons which don’t have any text (a far worse “classic HIG” crime IIRC).

I’d see if you can find examples from outside the US or in lesser known fields—economics must have some great examples. Great idea and great UI!

Bugs are going to happen in any software project. I’m more concerned that their QA missed the issue. Seems like they should’ve had some inkling given how easy it is to test blood glucose.

I'm not sure what standards you're talking about, but if you can't afford a home where you live you should move to a cheaper area. If the decision is being homeless vs moving, you should move.

> people from outside the US often think it’s a land of fabulously rich ppl and are aghast at how we treat our citizens

We can have concern for residents who feel justifiably unsafe and uncomfortable on public transit as well as homeless riders.
