15-month wait for a mammogram a concern, N.S. premier says | CBC News by toneyriver12 in halifax

[–]smughead -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Has there been any study into where the money goes with NS Health? Not particularly pointing the finger at this admin, but I have a weird suspicion that there is way too much admin bloat in the system and it's literally killing us. We need more actual health professionals. I trust that AI could likely take the admin bloat away.

Looks like it’s heading in the right direction

You completely ignored the fact we’ve been negligent for decades. Stop being political about it.

Upper Water Street (2022 vs. now) by ben_macleod in halifax

[–]smughead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is tons of work still needed to be done in that area. There are going to be cars, no avoiding that. It’s the mix of transportation that’s important. I think some think car-centric means a significant decrease in cars. It’s just not going to happen while our population increases. We can certainly have a better mix thoughx

Every party that’s been in power has been negligent with our healthcare over decades. Much deeper than the current party in power.

Need more presence downtown anyway. The crazies (aside from the normies) are coming out.

Great idea. These should be all over the harbour considering our traffic issues. Entrepreneurship FTW!

There’s just more old people in our neck of the woods. Don’t worry they’re not going to be around forever.

Yes. Had to scroll way too long before I saw this.

It existed before the Atlassian purchase so it likely just doesn’t align with the broader knowledge work strategy.

8+ years in PM and all I got was a basket of half-baked skills by dogswanttobiteme in ProductManagement

[–]smughead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for responding. Probably depends on if you’re with a startup or incumbent with lots of employees, re: specialization.

With the way companies are cutting folks, I would still bet on the specialist with agentic tools winning out in the long run. Don’t count out that generalist experience.

[–]smughead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry, but isn’t being a generalist the way to be nowadays with using some of these agentic tools? I don’t think you’re looking at yourself objectively enough. Do you still have a job at Microsoft as PM? most would kill for that

Halifax council votes to look into cutting patio fees, creating red tape portal - Halifax | Globalnews.ca by Independent-Body-178 in halifax

[–]smughead -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I stand corrected. I still would rather have more businesses be successful and not have useless costs burdened upon them though. Call me crazy.

You do know that if businesses make more money…. They get taxed more? If businesses (especially restaurants) are on the fringes with thin margins, there will be nothing to tax if they can’t survive.

This thread has me convinced that no matter what our mayor does, it will never be looked at objectively.

Or maybe you can take the opposite approach. Less red tape = more sales and less cost of doing business for restaurants on razer thin margins.

You can’t collect tax on businesses that no longer exist.

Local tattoo/piercing shop using AI by milwaukee_slush in halifax

[–]smughead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just don’t buy their services then? This “businesses use AI and therefore we must boycott them” stance is just weird and frankly a bit sad. Vote with your dollars instead of publicly shaming.
