I was originally in bupropion for my anxiety and it does help. I also take concerta after being diagnosed with ADHD, but bupropion absolutely helps with anxiety.

Have you tried Wellbutrin[Buproprion]?

Exactly. IP law is foundational to any functioning market economy. Reform == Delete

Everyone suffers. Now that work has ramped back up post pandemic, it is very apparent how our talent pools have been impacted.

It’s the worst kind of problem: hard to fix and slow to show fairly significant consequences.

Feel like I have the same argument at work everyday. Some things just take a definitive time. 20 cooks won’t make a cake faster. Cooking that cake at 1000 degrees won’t make it faster. It will take the time it takes.

This is the best answer.

Slow down your thinking and consider this: why would any practical person fully develop something without getting market feedback and understanding demand?

This is by the book “Preto-typing”. You can frame it as lying, but the reality is Apple had faith that all of the “faked” features in the demonstration would be fully developed before launch.

IBM did something similar before voice-to-text existed. They faked the technology during market research and discovered that people didn’t enjoy speaking to their computer as much as initially thought. It showed them that they could better invest that money elsewhere.

It would make zero sense and be a foolish use of capital to fully develop a product that complex and expensive without understanding market preferences.

This is a non-story, rage-bait headline.

My take is that Excel is great for people to throw together quick and efficient tools for their own use. The problem is when these get distributed and then everyone uses something that has no version control or QA/QC.

I see this a lot because an engineer gets annoyed with IT or existing software restrictions and learns enough VBA to be dangerous. (Spoiler, it me.)

I’m skeptical of a 1000 person survey, especially when overall home sales are still down.

That being said, some people may be getting tired of waiting and willing to gamble on refinancing with favorable interest rates in the future.

Value is subjective, and some people value convenience more than the cost of delivery.

Anyone that bought when rates were still 2-3% isn’t selling unless they’re being forced. Why would they, considering their real interest rate is negative at this point.

This is a non-headline because it’s reporting on something that was expected to happen when interest rates rose.

That being said, this does suck for those who have yet to purchase their first home. Property investors buying with cash have no incentive to stop buying. This is where government should step in and regulate. Those conversations should be headlining instead.

 

I’m conducting some research on the health insurance market and am particularly interested in the experience of immigrants.

This is for a school project.

I’d really appreciate any responses to these questions:

If you currently have health insurance, why did you choose that insurer/plan?

If you don’t have coverage, what options are available to you?

Is it difficult to find effective healthcare options that are both in coverage and available?

What personal changes would you like to see (in either the healthcare or insurance aspects)?
