I think this energy density math really depends on whether only the core or the whole surface area is taken into consideration.

A headline without calling it an “Artificial Sun”?!

The frau part is funnier for sure, but the funniest shit is calling a single-cell organism a “person”.

Frau Drumpf, for completeness sake

the more specialized the workforce, the harder it is to overcome staffing limitations. for example, in Italy, there’s a huge physician shortage (at least when I lived in Europe there was). You won’t fix that with simply changing the management culture.

So many assumptions…

1. You assume that there aren’t life or death exceptions/emergencies (see my updated post above).
2. You assume that I only practiced medicine in the USA
3. You assume that US hospitals run like businesses (private insurance companies, most hospitals don’t)
4. You assume doctors, especially subspecialists grow on trees.

Headline reads: “i turned off ALL notifications forever”.

My take: there exist people who can’t do that.

Your take: US bad.

My take: not a US-specific issue.

Your take: please describe your call schedule in detail because your claim is unusual.

Thank you, but no thank you.

I use an IP phone for calls that you can switch off. The paging system is a whole 'nother story.

it’s neither a US- nor a profession-specific issue. it’s an issue of any high-stakes, relatively niche occupation.

That idea of yours would be perfectly fine if it was just you, but it isn’t: it’s you and all other people who think like you

Definitely not an “idea of mine”. That’s the US experience (I’m a doctor here). The US’s most common electronic medical record system developed a secure messenger app that replaced pagers so yeah for outpatient work most of the time-critical messaging goes through your cell. So no, I can’t be on DND 24/7. (I do have very aggressively tweaked work/personal/etc notification settings, but sometimes the urgent messages do need to come through after hours)

if they are doing outpatient work, they don’t. even worse, the paging systems migrated to cell phones.

sauce: am doctor

Headlines like this are annoying AF. You wouldn’t want your doctor keeping their phone on DND 24/7.

Edit: I didn’t expect people to need examples, but here you go, something that happened to me few months ago:

23:21 - my IP phone rings, I’m literally about to go to sleep but I set this specific type of call to come through. I recognize the number and I know it’s an emergency so I pick it up. A patient’s family calling about them being in their local ER and the ER physician is about to pull the plug on my patient. I spend the next hour yelling at the ER physician to do his fucking job, frantically arranging a transfer. Next day afternoon, I’m having a full conversation with my patient in our hospital. If I didn’t fight for this person, and let this go through the regular channels, they would have died.

My comment isn’t primarily about work culture or work/life balance. There are some calls that you take because it’s the right thing. Advice from people who claim they can turn off all notifications just tells me two things, 1) they don’t know how notification scheduling works 2) they aren’t the kind of people that others ever rely on in an emergencies.

And that’s an outstanding explanation to why the OF supply infiltrated GW sites (and generally good points on the consent aspect). The net non-pro content remains more abundant than it was a decade or two ago, so it’s not like there was a net loss, it’s just the commercialization “tainted” some people’s “fun.”

Also, the more people pay for it the more infiltration of content promotion you’ll see into communities that are supposed to revolve around pure exhibitionism and “altruism”.

yup, that’s my point. we judge the suppliers but the supply side’s motivations are much more straightforward than that of those on the demand side.

it’s supply/demand. there’s much more cameras and people online than 10-20 years ago, so the supply is plenty. people paying for this content is much more mysterious to me. why would I ever do that?!

It’s a distraction. Ignore it and focus on the actual damage he is doing.

They actually put enough energy into this distraction to justify some level of response.

What difference does this make? Some lower level employee will see this, roll his eyes, and then continue on with his day.

you push back every step of the way. that’s how you deal with it. Apple maps reporting getting shut down for this is a sign that someone at a higher level took notice and it will have feedback to even higher leadership. So yes, this is feedback, even if companies do company things, it’s also sending a signal that on the long run their company things might be better off aligning with the users. Is this gonna make any difference on its own? Nope, but a million of things like this may.

yup. at this point the bullshit coming out of trump’s mouth is the least concerning thing in this admin. the heavy lifting is done by the heritage foundation and doge

Didn’t last long…

You guys are awesome!
