Free market ftw rite?

Do you think that running to the ER for a heartburn or tummy aches is something that is acceptable?

We are smart enough and wealthy enough to provide quality, timely care to everyone, if only we could get rid of the greedy idiots in charge.

If not solving a problem makes money...then the problem will not be solved...ever. That's basically it in a nutshell. Capitalism needs greed to work and that is fine if kept in check. Obviously it's not kept in check though. The folks that would do that are compensated by the very folks that make money from the dysfunctional system.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't those places where you're required to take some kind of classes to be able to qualify to own a gun? Isn't it also pretty easy for anyone from the police to be able to take them from you within reason if they find you to be violating some laws?

This is exactly what the alt-right Christian fucks want. I'm surprised that they don't realize how much in common they have with the Taliban.

Sorry dude...writing simple queries is what I said was easy...and for the record they are. That example is probably not a great example. Simply from my experience, I never started my career in IT, I was in healthcare and far from it all.

Anyway, I've had some idiots approach me about their shitty ideas before too...most notably was one person asking to create an app that "uses AI" to help a person search for the right individual when they send a text message. Couldn't explain how it would know that it found the right person? There was another one that wanted to track the origin of "content" and how it changes over time on social media... again "using AI".

For my team I have a mirror that I set up and have a bunch of ELT jobs that load the deltas every night. Queries don't ever run in PROD, if someone needs a specific view or more data, they go through me and my team. I also set timeouts, precisely to avoid the ahole from using Select * from. Also have a bunch of reports I created to see who is running what queries and timings. We review them quarterly or when someone complains or when a project that needs our data asks us for access.

We also have an autogenerated data dictionary for folks to use as well. Generally I don't entertain any "it's slow" complaints unless they go through the documentation, provide their exact query and write what it is they're trying to get.

My assumption was that OPs shop does the bare minimum in terms of making sure they don't shoot themselves in the foot.

Ooof my guy if you got folks running queries on your PROD db you got bigger problems even if they were the best SQL writers in the world.

You can't fuck up step 1 and complain the rest of the steps aren't working. I write and maintain a set of ELT jobs and a bunch of front end dashboards. By default, we never run analytics queries in PROD db. I create views and such for the simple queries to run.

I picked up SQL a few years ago for a school project. It took me a week. The DBA stuff just came by itself as I went along. Query optimizations took a while but you don't need to write every query super optimally. If the DB tables are set up correctly your users will not have to worry about it at all.

My previous comment assumes you guys already have a db set up for analytics where folks can run queries. If you don't then IDK how the director of IT got their job...That's very basic shit.

SQL isn't hard to learn unless they're asking you guys to do T-SQL and PLSQL.

For simple queries it's pretty easy.

What the fuck is the Constitution actually good for if these fucks can just magically ascribe the meaning to random sentences written by old fucks over 200 years ago when horses were the mode of transportation.

Twitter’s lawyers argued that the company made only an oral promise that was not a contract, and that Texas law should govern the case, according to Courthouse News, which first reported the ruling.

Are you shitting me? They argued that it was a fucking lie so they shouldn't be charged? Also no one gives a shit if you're a Texan company...But you're doing business in California with California residents, you have to follow California rules. Else don't do any business in California.

Can't fucking believe that not honoring an employment contract is not a fucking violation in Texas...Go figure.

IDK, they'd usually bring out the perfect solution fallacy and say that FDA didn't really prevent it from happening.

The only thing is that they're not allowed to sell anymore(I hope), so the damage will not get any worse.

Don't get me wrong I hate the prior guy. But isn't it always funny how the Democratic party in their times of super majority don't tend to fix the shit entirely that the last guy rammed through. Take the tax cuts and removing alot of deductions for the working class. Wouldn't it make sense to undo those tax cuts and tax increases?

Both sides aren't the same but this ain't a left vs right issue, it's a class war.
