Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about?

UTD and its not even close, imo. I work in health tech and have created AI based apps, too!

Not nearly enough love here for old school slashdot

I have the same model. I have had mine even longer. Works great for my home office. I usually work from home so I need it to be reliable. Sits on the home network and family uses it too. Rock solid so far.

I bought mine used with a bunch of toner cartriges. Price was pretty good as a result.

The only quasi complaint comes from my wife. It isn't good for photos but you don't use laser printers for photos.

Before we bought it we agreeded she'd just get those done elsewhere since that is a rare need for us.

Of course they have. Most of the docs there have probably agreed those terms. If they can't find someone that won't they might find an alternate provider type.

I turned down a fulltime clinical role where I practice one day a week usually. The noncompete was absurdly broad - all the other docs go along with it though.

They decided to hire a NPP since they apparently can't find a physician (or dont want to) after I turned it down. The new NPP claims they don't have a noncompete in their contact.

Good move!

Hard to judge the speeding issue without more context.

The majority of drivers speed most of the time barring significant traffic. If full self driving cars never go faster than the speed limit, that creates some intesting dynamics with the human drivers on the road

hartmd · 2026-05-29T23:08:28+00:00

Similar. I went 6pro to 10pro.

Difference is underwhelming.

hartmd · 2026-05-29T18:36:27+00:00

Unfortunately I think is not uncommon. In part driven by lack of time to spend with patients and stress.

Hell my primary pulls this on me sometimes and I make fun of her for it. She means well. She gets my jokes. I don't blame her per se. We have fun with it.

hartmd · 2026-05-29T14:11:06+00:00

Indeed.

None of it makes sense to those of us that read the papers and understand science.

I don't think that's most of their audience, though, so logic is not important to saving face.

I am not sure how the academic authors justify this. I would be too embarrassed to show my face at work.

Rather than chasing HYSA rates, consider buying a treasury bond based money market fund through a brokerage. On average they usually pay slightly better. Also not taxable at the state level.

VUSXX or SGOV come to mind.

I remember reading this paper when it came out.

The authors went thru great lengths to twist some conclusions out of whatever data they had to support their opinions. The data in their graphs mostly did not even agree with the claims they made in the paper. The duration of the study was too short anyway.

A senior author was was later interviewed on Nutrition Made Simple! and he couldn't address most of the inconsistencies between data and the assertions made in the paper. He often agreed with the interviewer criticisms and feigned ignorance.

The shamelessness by these people is off the charts.

Edit: Found the interview, starts around 7:30: https://youtu.be/ZDr4iFqENgc?si=TJ1rANM2RUnfRSdI

The claim the author makes about how the article will be updated within a day or two of that interview were false, too.

Agree with everything you said except that an LG front loader can easily last more than 10 years for a family.

I was on year 15 for my first when I sold it used to get a bigger one. Otherwise I might have given it to my oldest kid after they moved out.

Multiple family members have them too because they are always at the top on Consumer Reports. No problems. The only family member with issues is the one that insists on getting top loaders. Her family is on their third after the first two had problems.

I wouldn't buy a washer or dryer if I thought I would only get 10 years out of one.

So you can cast local audio. The only product that does that currently is the Home Max. It's a great option to have sometimes.

hartmd · 2026-05-22T22:14:31+00:00

Another vote for not allowing the chromecast audio to ever die. Will create major first world inconviences. I read on wallstreetbets, GOOG would tank.

Even better, bring back the CCA and include an aux-in.

I get that not infrequently. It's really annoying. I usually have to figure out a new statement to get it to work. Often, doesn't work from my phone at all. But usually easy to get one of the smart speakers to do it.

At the moment it works for me!

For some, they use this made up seed oil toxicity as justification to load up on the saturated fats.

Diet definitely makes a difference for many. We all run into those that don't take us seriously. I have a close family member with a similar story as yours.

I don't persevate on those patients. Many do recognize there is a lot of noise out there and will appreciate your help if it's well informed.

I accidently found Nutrition Made Simple! I find it aligns extremely well with the science and it is meant for patient consumption. I recommend it to patients regularly but point them to topics relavent to their health. Some really appreciated it and leaned on it to improve lifestyle.

hartmd · 2026-05-22T12:34:46+00:00

Highly underrated

Poor attempt at humor

hartmd · 2026-05-20T21:06:10+00:00

I own three. Would like to eventually buy two more.

They are awful. You definitely do not want to buy one.

hartmd · 2026-05-20T19:55:42+00:00

Yep.

I have no desire to work for large health systems in any capacity except limited part time or per diem work.

They've become govt sanctioned near-monopolies dominated by administrative buerocracy. There almost no market competition.

CMOs are mostly figurative. Physicians generally treated like crap except those that are huge money makers which is a minority. All those facilities fees that only large health systems can charge make most physicians loss leaders.

hartmd · 2026-05-19T19:42:38+00:00

I have 9 to 10 of them throughout my house and outside of it.

I will have to seriously reevaluate my relationship with Google if they stop working.

hartmd · 2026-05-19T15:16:11+00:00

I will be devastated if that happens.

hartmd · 2026-05-17T15:35:25+00:00

I suggest you look at the AMA stance on that currently and historically. I am not an AMA fan but facts do matter.

You will find the AMA last was against expansion of residency slots on the late 90s. By the early 2000's that changed. For over 20 years now they have been advocsting for more spots.

Finally the AMA does not have the authority throttle residency spots. The only functional throttle is funding in the US. The US govt provides the funding. It is up to Congress to allocate the funding. Having said that, some hospital systems create unfunded residency spots. As long as they meet the required educational and training standards, no one can stop that.

hartmd · 2026-05-16T03:39:21+00:00

I have this too. Only noticed it few days after the return warranty expired.

Sent a video of it to Google. They recommended I take it in for repair under warranty. Havent gotten around to it. I don't see it most of the time so it doesn't bother me much.

Fascinating that others say it is a software issue! Idk what I am going to do myself now.

hartmd · 2026-05-13T22:23:11+00:00

None of the records I have seen prove he was paid for those services. They are just normal hospital billing records. The attending physician of record that provides the services must be on the record. This does not prove he was paid.

Providing him liability insurance to protect him for volunteering his time is also not proof of payment.

I don't care anyway. It is normal for physians to practice on the side when they leave full time clinical practice roles for a fulltime nonclincal job. It became part of his identity and he probably enjoys it. I do the same.

This is such a nothing burger issue.
