was it time to blame the poors for their own poverty again?

Is it just me or is it weird that they chose "catches fire" instead of "exploded"?

It's wild that we're getting two solutions in a couple days after a few years of nothing

it took an impromptu visit to a free medical clinic, held near where I grew up in the mountains of East Tennessee, to come face to face with the true consequences of our consumerism strategy.

At a county fairground in Wise, Va., I witnessed people standing in lines that stretched out of view, waiting to see physicians who were stationed in animal stalls. The event’s organizers, from a nonprofit called Remote Area Medical, told me that of the thousands of people who came to this three-day clinic every year, some had health insurance but did not have enough money in the bank to cover their out-of-pocket obligations.

That shook me to my core. I was forced to come to terms with the fact that I was playing a leading role in a system that made desperate people wait months or longer to get care in animal stalls or go deep into medical debt.

If you liked this definitely checkout some of his other videos. At the level of work that he does you have to have a really solid model of reality and a lot of learned experience of how to measure and manipulate at extreme scales. He makes it look easy but this kind of thing really isn't. Just a lot of fun seeing such a talented and educated person do a really neat demonstration.

holds hat to chest Rest in peace good Mycroft

I love that the wakeword is still one of the best we have, my kid will ask me one day why we say "hey Mycroft" and I'll tell him "it all started with a raspberry pi and a Kickstarter"

I'm so excited for this! I was able to make an order. Homeassistant is making such a difference here. I was a Mycroft supporter and it's so great that since they've gone away we've still got hardware in this space. This hardware makes so much sense too, I hope the voice train keeps rolling!
