How many bureaucrats does that $1300 have to pay before it reaches the ambulance driver?

The US healthcare system is notorious for bloat. Taxpayers pay more for healthcare than countries with free healthcare.

I follow the daily best posts on hacker news https://hnrss.github.io/

This exposes me to quite interesting blogs (mainly tech, but not always). If I find someone worth following, I'll add their blog to my list as well. That's how I've been building my RSS feeds over the years.

From the non tech blogs that I've found there, from the top of my head, these are nice

https://going-medieval.com/ - medieval history professor's blog. She's quite witty, and makes super interesting posts about the daily lifes of people in the middle ages.

https://brr.fyi - blog from an IT guy working in a scientific research center in Antarctica.

Depends on the effort.

If you want a newbie friendly one with syncing: Feedly

If you care about open source and controlling your own data (but don't care about syncing). Maybe liferea? There are tons of options.

If you care about syncing and don't mind self-hosting: miniflux.

I use miniflux, but requires some tech knowledge to set up.

I have a RSS reader that I check everyday for articles / blogposts from websites I subscribe to.

The interesting stuff gets saved in Wallabag to read later. It syncs with my phone, and I can read offline whenever I got some time to kill.

The plugins are also more modern/user friendly and integrate better out of the box.

All these things make a difference.

Young people don't want to spend precious time learning lisp just to configure their editor. I don't blame them.

Someone should keep an eye on Linus.

Why someone keeps chasing the latest gadgets when the old ones work just fine is beyond me.

Nobody is waiting every year for the brand new line of washing machines. Why is there a need to swap phones this frequently?

I imagine it wouldn't take long until someone finds a way to disable that LED.

Sounds like the best way to cripple your scientific and tech sector.

Not a blog, but a way of discovering new blogs. I subscribe to the unofficial best hacker news submissions RSS feed.

I found the blog on an IT guy that works in a research station in Antarctica.

For reference, looks like a variation of this.

The ad they are referring to.

Yes the interface is a mess. But it's ridiculously deep once you get into it.

The CEO of Unity was also CEO, COO, and president of EA. So, is anyone surprised?

Or even better: buy soon to expire put options just before the announcement. 10x your money.

You're welcome!

I can have a look in my free time for fun. Will let you know if I manage to do it. 😅

Damn... that's rough.

Hopefully they'll backpedal on this decision for now (they are already getting a lot of flack). But I guess the message has been sent. Wouldn't be surprised if Unity starts bleeding users after this.

Best of luck!

For the studios releasing a game in a few months, it's probably too late to ditch unity, but would make sense to start looking at alternatives for their next projects.

Wouldn't be surprised if Godot explodes in popularity in the next 5 years.
