Are residents that much less effective? Do they require so much supervision?

If residents are just cheaper doctors, then hospitals would optimize for a high resident:attending ratio.

So what is it? As far as I know, in hospitals residents are really cost effective doctors. Yes, sure, they don't do the big fancy operations, but they are very capable.

It might be that hospitals have other parameters to factor in. Maybe if there would be too many residents compared to regular doctors, people would flock to other hospitals. And so on.
If there's nobody else willing to pay $150k/yr (because it isn't a fair market rate), how would they turn it into a profit center, exactly?
I appreciate the honesty, and apologies if I am missing some sarcasm, but please do the world a favor and at least throw out the mount. You are aware of how negligent that behavior is. If you kill someone, it is inexcusable.
That isn’t realistic in this decade for rural/remote areas. Satellite internet also failed because of the unusable latency incurred. The only way to guarantee bandwidth is a physical connection because spectrum bandwidth is finite, whereas point-to-point bandwidth scales nearly linearly with more physical channels.

Millions in funds with zero accountability... ok that's a pretty decent deal, I can't argue with that.

> were dismissing the new innovation that is happening on the internet

Where is the innovation? The innovation with regard to print and commerce on the internet was that people could access publications and products without having to leave their home; a very clear benefit for consumers that was prohibitively impractical at best before the internet. Where is the innovation for cryptocurrency? It is clearly a marvel of technology that money can emerge from code, but, as has been repeated over and over again, it doesn't solve any problems for the vast majority of people. Credit cards and banks service all the financial needs for the vast majority of consumers and cryptocurrency offers no compelling benefits at the cost of serious risk, a technical learning curve, and an ecosystem full of scammers.

> As with most legacy thinker its almost impossible to change there mind with arguments, they like to ponder on the risks and counter arguments, just to stay comfy in the status quo.

And that right there is a great technique for engendering hostility: condescending ridicule in response to criticism. Yeah, we're all just bitter naysayers stuck in our ways, probably just jealous because we didn't get on the bitcoin rocket to the moon back in the early days.

> Banking, Finance, VC is one of the oldest industries with the least innovation in the last century.

Bitcoin has nothing to do with banking or finance, it's a first-of-its-kind digital commodity that can be traded on the internet... that's cool... that's noteworthy... but completely unremarkable as it relates to banking or finance.

Some hospitals especially teaching hospitals are non-profits. So I don't think the profit motive is sufficient justification. I think it is more likely a capacity problem.

Stop it already. How much do you want to kill someone?
Bugs will happen, that's a natural law of computer science, if you keep on trucking over them you will be delivering buggy software that is likely to cause problems. Even if you chase them down and correct them all, your software is still going to have bugs, that's a fact of life.

Should code containing bugs be allowed to run? If the answer is no we must ask ourselves how much software we have today that is completely bug free (that will be 0%).

I still think these proactive approaches are good to disclose possible exploits, but killing processes just because they might be exploitable is a very long shot.

Ask HN: Compensation for a test working day instead of job interview
I recently applied for a job as software engineer. To assess my skills and get to know the team they want me to work for one day at their company on a proposed problem.

Basically, I think this a good approach. However, from my perspective, I felt that the effort/risk taken by the company and by me is unbalanced and therefore requested some compensation for the "test working day" during the first telephone interview. What do you think? Is this appropriate?
I don't see any particular reason to have more confidence in a government bureaucrat than in a lawsuit averse company, especially in the early stages.
The Internet providers are have already tried to do this. Couple that with the fact that Internet provider are generally a monopoly or duopoly then there is very real harm if only a few explore this route.

I hardly think that Mutter is the be-all and end-all of Wayland compositor performance. I could see Ubunu plumbing a re-moulded Mir back into their distribution further down the line (while keeping the rest of the GNOME environment). I'm not certain on the technical details, but I believe this should be possibly; for Wayland was certainly designed with compositor agnosticism in mind.

Edit: reading further, it appears that GNOME Shell is quite tightly woven into Mutter, which may well complicate matters.

Thanks for your interest, our launch is very recent so this our minimum viable product. We have a lot of features coming up including a built-in macro function to automate complex or repetitive tasks.

At this point we are confident MotionCaster has the smallest resource footprint even if 4K videos are recorded simultaneously with live streaming.

Secondly, it has a built-in title maker that can make vector-based images, videos, subtitles, virtual studio, You can make high-quality broadcast content fast and easy.

This is possible because it's been programmed to take full advantage of system resources through our own video processing engine and optimal
resource distribution.

So when you have the same computer specs, you can do more than other software and process higher resolution vid
> Are residents that much less effective?

Yes, because they aren't yet trained to practice medicine. Residency is where they are trained to practice medicine.

Yes, both by practicality and by law.

They're not "just" cheaper doctors

They tried. Patients died. Now we cap both the number of hours they can work per week (80 hours/week) and the resident:attending ration.

I use fossil for small projects and I often import trees from GitHub into fossil-scm to visualize and reason about the history.

I really appreciate the mindset that Dr. H and friends have brought to both SQLite and Fossil - that is - minimal and efficient code with very low dependencies.

I first came across fossil-scm when I was looking for a simple way to host some development repos for a small group; it is so much easier with the integrated cli/server than what I found with git. Also, I love the ease of setting up replication and the he single file format.

Keep up the good work, glad to see there is some focus on the next generation!

I'd like to second the feature request mentioned elsewhere in this thread about having some for of access control on sub-trees or files within a fossil project - but - maybe that could be accomplished by simply doing a separate project / vendor tree type pattern IDK.

I just think the main point is that income is not the number to focus on. Wealth is the end result of the equation, and income is only one part of that.
tbrock is right. When you're an established entrenched player like Google or Facebook, paying ISPs for distribution is a small price to pay for a moat that makes it extremely difficult for new companies to come in and disrupt you.

Netflix is still interested in net neutrality because they are not as dominant and because they will face competition from ISPs who are also content providers now. Comcast owns NBC Universal.

In fact, this loss of net neutrality would have been less dangerous if ISPs were just pipes trying to make more money rather than also being content companies.

Once again, "non-profit" or "government agency" doesn't mean "no profit motive". The profit motive affects all players.

Someone has to pay for it, at the end of the day.

> you can't fake empathy

I disagree partly, faking empathy and goodwill is a cornerstone of manipulation in politics. However, I agree it's not a long-term strategy and over the medium-term (months not years) people will learn to see through it. Some people are more transparent than others in this regard.

You DRY up code by writing indirection. That's the expense of all abstractions. You can't believe that all indirection is worth it at all costs, so I'm not sure what point you're belaboring.
Because we should trust government to provide Internet access? That would certainly make it far easier to monitor. And instead of fixing the problem that not everyone has a choice of ISPs, that would ensure that no one has a choice of ISPs, so when the one ISP that exists is terrible there's no recourse.

I do think it might make sense to treat fiber as infrastructure, so that we could then have numerous competing ISPs everywhere that just need to light up the fiber that's already there. That seems like an improvement.

Dense population centers are the easiest to cover and already have the most choices. Furthermore, Google Fiber has a history, like most Google municipal projects, of failing to finish and then languishing.

Do you know many economists? See http://www.igmchicago.org/surveys/net-neutrality-ii
Hospitals do not do their accounting in a normal way. When you or your insurance gets a bill, the doctors are often listed separately. In other words, patients pay for them directly for services, they are not paid as employees of the hospital. That means for residents, someone's got to pay for them. They are not seen as lower cost labor because doctors are not accounted for as high cost labor. I'm not sure how it's done, but it's not the same as interns in engineering.
It's actually not that bad; I'd say maybe a couple of hours at most.

I actually enjoy the opportunity to slim down the apps/files/etc. that I need. It's like a spring cleaning for my files.

My settings/dotfiles are something I've been backing up on my external harddrive, but it would be a good project to put them into a repository somewhere and make a setup script to get everything installed just how I like it.
Do you realize that most power/utility companies in the US are private and do want to make a profit and pay dividends to share holders? They are just highly regulated due to their monopoly position. Having common carrier status and regulation of ISPs is obviously the rational thing to do for the good of the country, but it looks like we are not going to take that path.

The only positive I can see coming out of this is SpaceX's global satellite internet system looks a lot more profitable in this environment.
>Webpass specifically targets dense population centers.
That, in itself, is the problem. Nobody competes in rural areas.
"residency programs are profitable (at the margin) for the hospital"

No, there are many options between 'profit' and 150k costs.

The question is can Medicare increase the number of residency's without increasing Medicare's costs. And because of the excessive number of specialists with higher associated costs the answer to that is clearly 'Yes'.

Thus, the cost of a residency slot is not inherently negative 150,000$/year. It's very possible for residency's to break even without hospitals to have any incentive to implement them, further that 150k/year provides profit even with the current mix.
Basically it's "turn a unicode symbol into your logo." What's exactly the idea? The very point of logos is to be unique.
But not on the ground.
It's the obvious next step, but the issue there is that the current US government is likewise profit driven.

Net Neutrality wouldn't have been an issue again in the first place, otherwise.
You keep giving me the sense (like with your "7% below COGS" statistic) that you do actually know why residencies aren't profitable, but you keep making an indirect economic argument instead of talking about that directly.

All anyone in this thread is trying to figure out is why folks getting paid poorly to do work that we know costs tons of money (because we see the bills) would incur net negative profit.
I'm grudgingly coming along.

I use vim for everything, but Intellij (because we have the licenses; I mainly use it for Python at the moment) has my attention. Wish I had more time to learn it; it has been a couple of months and I still don't feel really comfortable. But the capabilities actually make a difference.

Vim is never going away for me; muscle memory, if nothing else, ensures it will always be the most efficient way for me to type text and I spend most of my time in the terminal anyway. And as nice as it was when it was my go-to for everything, there are times when a special purpose editor has a place.

> the typical person who enters medical school can expect to pay off their medical school debt in their 40s. That level of debt load

Does how long it takes someone to pay a debt off say anything at all about how big the debt load was? You've juxtaposed these sentences as if it does.

Many people pay off their student loans last, as they're usually very low interest. You could have a student debt into your 40s but not because you can't pay it off - rather because it's cheaper than your mortgage.

Why pay off a cheap debt to buy a new expensive one?

People probably pay off their student debts in their 40s as they part of pay off the last of the mortgages and look to finally get rid of other debts.

to avoid hiding the associativity behind the assumption of commutativity.
