I'm not sure I have sympathy for my fellow 10%ers who can't manage their 6 figure incomes.

Overspending is not an excuse. When you only need tens of thousands of dollars to live and thrive, anything beyond is excessive.

I know my peers that overspend, I weep for them. I don't envy the limo you take, I feel bad that those things are where you find pleasure.

The mods hand pick what is front page. HN is not a social media site, it's a curated news site.

I agree with your sentiment. Google gives away services for free and display ads.

I like this far better than the FAANG company that charges 2x the cost of competitors for medium quality products.

Medicine is the weakest science.

Each physician is a biased opinion provider.

It's up to YOU to figure out who is correct.

Horrifying this is needed and they make 300k/yr.

I agree with your take.

Surgeons only get paid if they do surgery, it feels like this is the first option I'm offered when there is a problem.

So far "waiting" saved us 2000 dollars.

Few real world programming problems are straight forward enough to test on. Or at least I don't expect computer science to turn into a physics/chemistry/math level of science.

I think it's hovering around medicine. Where there is a seemingly art form to deal with the realities of our too complex biology.

I've been a casual reader about it.

It seems to be the healing process, but it can go overboard and be counter productive.

For a class, I can see it helping.

For speaking it seems useless.

Memorizing nouns is what Duolingo does best
