The point is that if you want to remove it or change it, you need to put something else in place that handles the work it is doing. So it is more that it is serving a required/necessary function, without being any of those other things in and of itself. It's more about "be careful when changing this."

100% untrue. There were affordable catastrophic coverage plans available, and many were made illegal by the ACA and the requirement to provide boutique services for "free" (i.e., forced to pay for even if you don't use).

I think the broader phenomenon with the AI tells is it is revealing about a person's consumption. If they already interacted with and read material that resembled AI output, it wouldn't seem as weird. But if you encounter a particular pattern with the AI before you encounter the human patterns that trained it that way, it seems like an AI quirk.

An Agile Release Train (ART) in SAFe is a long-lived, cross-functional "team of teams" (typically 50–150 people) that plans, commits, and delivers value together on a synchronized, fixed-schedule cadence.

The Sokal affair was a physicist attacking the postmodernists for attacking physics (and scientific realism) by showing the postmodernists would publish complete nonsense.

The current attack is saying the physics establishment is backing a theory that doesn't adequately make predictions (not adequately supporting scientific realism).

It can be viewed outside the realm of power, that's a very postmodern view.

Obviously a bit hyperbolic, but matches my experience.

In my experience, they are setting automated 90 deletion policies on email so they don't end up with surprises in discovery.
