> The writing is irrelevant.

In my opinion this is not true. Writing is a form of communicating ideas. Structuring and communicating ideas with others is really important, not just in written contexts, and it needs to be trained.

Maybe the way universities do it is not great, but writing in itself is important.

Kindly read past the first line, friend :)

I did. :)

(And I am aware of the irony in failing to communicate when mentioning that studying writing is important to be good at communication.) Maybe I should have also cited this part:

> writing as a proxy for what actually matters, which is thinking.

In my opinion, writing is important not (only) as a proxy for thinking, but as a direct form of communicating ideas. (Also applies to other forms of communication though.)

> One account is that the US has too many medical facilities in urban areas. In other words, there might be five hospitals each with its own radiology equipment. That equipment is idle some of the time, so you could close some of the imaging departments and leave just one or two for the metro area. That would obviously inconvenience some people, but the gist of the criticism is that the US duplicates medical capacity for the sake of convenience.

> The other criticism is that there are too few clinics and such. That's why there was a big push to open health clinics in pharmacies and urgent care locations recently.

Funny enough, germany has the exact same two problems.

* Too many small urban hospitals do too many things, but have no speciality, leading to high cost, underutilization and higher risk procedures.

* Too few specialist doctors for checkups leading to long waiting times.

Hey, I'm David from southern germany. I have a phd in computer science from the institute of distributed systems in Ulm, Germany. I currently work for the development department of a US startup in Heidelberg. My role is backend platform developer. I build tooling and components for our platform, so our other developers can build the great ERP of the future on top.

I am primaraly a backend engineer with some frontend experience and slight ambitions towards leadership in the future. I enjoy mentoring, discussing (and solving) technical problems in new and existing systems. I speak german (natively) and english, but I like to dabble in other languages, so I speak miniscule amounts of Korean, Spanish, French and Mandarin.

I am currently looking into moving around munich for family reasons, but I am generally open for other great opportunities. :)

Hey, I'm David from Germany. I enjoy software development and working with people. Currently, I live around Heidelberg, Germany and have some connections to Munich.

I have a PhD in computer science and currently work as a developer for a startup. My current focus lies on a typescript backend and internal tooling. I love solving complex technical problems, but also enjoy improving cooperation between teams and team members.

Feel free to contact me for anything :)

In my experience, "deprecated" is often taken as "we can still use that, it is not removed yet", which I find somewhat disheartening sometimes.

That's easy though, the removed part can also be ingored by mirroring package repositories for RHEL/ Debian-based systems.

Based on the results from an earlier paper of the author [1] the spread within the groups is very high. So there is no shortage of miserable people in the high income bracket.

Oh it's Matthew Killingsworth, who was the first author of the one paper [1] about happiness I actually read!

Based on the words actually written, you could as well argue the opposite.

The original comment might as well be about successful people being over rewarded by a non-meritocratic system, because their actual merit is lower.

They might also mean something completely differently.
