This is a genuine question; I am not pointing fingers. Is there a point where a software developer should say "fuck this shit, I am not doing it" ? Is it too much to ask for ethics on the job? (and yes, there is a distinction between stuff like this and working for Lockheed Martin or Anduril) 3/n

Someone is building the sw. It cannot be only the CEOs/owners that are responsible. At some point, some developers/tech lead are contributing to these decisions. Can it be a justification "I am just doing my job and I need to pay my bills"? How is it different from "I was just following orders"? 2/n

Perfect? Maybe not. But it took me 3 minutes to come up with ideas. We manage to send people to the moon but solving healthcare is impossible?

4)money comes from patients:instead of health insurance to company they pay health insurance into hospital.
5)money come from local taxes:portion of budget goes into prevention,see point 3)
6) test facilities can be treated as a business: be hyper efficient,tests for non-locals cost more

2)associate with local uni. Decrease costs to train doctors:if they work at local hospitals for X years after graduation they can leave with no debt.
3)be extremely strong on prevention:run screenings on everyone for the stuff that if caught early can be easily cured (breast cancer, prostate)

1)Start small:local(state,county,whatever) funded hospital. Pay doctors less while the state absorb student loan costs if they work there for X (10?) years. Have a first layer of doctors to determine which exams need to be run. If someone wants to run tests anyway, they can pay out of pocket

bold of you to assume that someone even thought about "something going wrong" and it wasn't instead engineered to obtain exactly this result.

And found it.

I remember reading something similar a loooong time ago: it was a short war story, from the pov of an unknown soldier; the last sentence was something "and he found them very disgusting, with their 4 limbs and their white, pale skin" revealing the twist at the end. 14-year-old me found it awesome

We do big puzzles (>1000 pieces) as a family and hang those (famous paintings, famous buildings, whatever subject you like, there is probably a puzzle for it)

My dad had it...and then recently decided to throw it away...I am still kind of mad at him, sigh

Yep, started 15 years ago, never stopped. Earplugs, mildly noise-cancelling (passive, not active), turn any noise into ambient noise level. They are basically a switch to get into "let's do some work now" mentally.
