grid fights with other css. For instance, shading every other row of a grid has to be done on each cell, not on a row, and becomes problematic if you set css order, or if you fill a row with fewer columns, etc.
You would not believe how many resumes I've seen with things like formatting issues and misspellings. I'm picky about getting technical terms correctly, but I understand that everyone might not know there are capital letters in random places in words. If you're going to misspell something, at least be consistent (no joke, I've seen resumes with JavaScript, Javascript and Java Script, and like three sentences apart from each other). Going through 6 pages of that along with phrasing issues is brutally draining. If you have a long resume, give a summary or something of each entry, so I can choose to see if what you are describing is what I'm looking for. With all that being said, I'm pretty forgiving. I understand that if you have English as a second language, you might not know all the nuances to grammar. I get it. I try and give some flexibility.

So here's the thing, with all that in mind, you ask if I can't be bothered, no I can't. Just because someone spews something on a page and calls it a resume does not mean that I should take a look at it. Have some pride in what you send to people. Yes writing resumes suck, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't work at creating it. People say, "I don't know about design", or "I'm not a writer."

1. It's not that hard to understand the basics of design and layout. Buy a book. Read a website. Download a template off the internet.
2. Ask someone to look at it before you send it.

It doesn't have to be great, but it least make it look like you care enough about what you do to make it decent.

You can download chargemasters for many (most?) California hospitals, over the past 10 years, in Excel format. I downloaded one sample and it has a list of 3700 prices, some of which are as high as $84,000.

I'm really happy to discover this resource exists, but is anyone republishing the prices in a format consumers can work with? These sheets need UX design.
I don't usually read a bunch of short non-fic by a single author, and I'm really bad at remembering who wrote a given piece. Wallace is one of the few exceptions.

I like Orwell and Twain, but I think everyone does. I'm a bigger fan of E.M. Forster's non-fic than he perhaps deserves, because his prose feels really familiar and comfortable to me—and maybe he's better than the credit I'm giving him, but I recognize him as a possible blind spot for me and so downplay my recommendation.

Asimov's short non-fic is of a very different sort (to put it mildly) from, say, Wallace, and isn't at all impressive by some measures, but I like it anyway. The pieces are well constructed and competently written, like his fiction, but neatly avoid requiring much in the way of characters or dialog, which is a very good thing for Asimov. They're mostly descriptive rather than "thinky" or philosophical. It's like reading really pleasantly-written and didactically-minded Wikipedia articles with short, silly, mostly-unrelated anecdotes prefacing each one.

I've attempted Huxley but didn't make much progress. Then again I've also twice failed to finish Brave New World so the problem may be mine, not his.

I liked "Frank Sinatra Has a Cold".

Non-fic that makes it into Lapham's Quarterly is usually great, with the exception of Lapham's own introductions to each volume, which I usually set out intending to read and ultimately don't.

Wallace is the only recent author whose short non-fic I've read in significant quantity. His writing is certainly engaging, which is why I made it through so much. The prose is top-notch, in that one's eyes pass effortlessly down the page, interrupted only by Wallace's footnote fetish. He's mostly really fun. However, some of his best pieces come off like drafts of sections of longer, better works, which is to say the thinking's a little rough and they seem incomplete. I'm far from an advocate of minimal, straight-to-the-point writing, but most of Wallace's short non-fic works are longer than any insight they contain justifies (notable exception: the piece on Kafka) while also managing to leave a bunch of dark corners one wishes Wallace had explored—they're good at making you want to read something better on the same topic. He's often kind of mean for little reason other than pandering to the reader, as best I can tell, which is both compelling and off-putting in a car wreck sort of way. To be fair, he's also sometimes mean for a good reason. Still, when my kids are old enough for this kind of stuff I'll recommend a few pieces to them, though some for only narrow purposes ("gee dad, what was being in the Midwest on 9/11 like?", "here, read DFW on the topic, it's a weak piece but captures some of the details of the experience really well") or only reluctantly ("Host"—the bizarre style rarely improves the article, which is otherwise one of his better ones).

I am planning on learning Clojure for essentially two reasons: the community / ecosystem seems very active (which is really my primary reason for picking a programming language; I have no interest in writing something if a library exists), and I've heard good things about a couple of things that distinguish it from other Lisps, like maps and spec.

I'm somewhere between indifferent to unhappy that it runs on the JVM, but it's not a blocker for me. And as someone else mentions, it means there's pretty good access to the Java library ecosystem.
You are just helping confirm the fact that Oregon is the land of dumb laws.
I've been noticing the problem of fancy js-driven front-ends on the open web more lately too. I feel like not a day goes by when I don't use some site that just breaks on a certain browser, or exhibits weird unintended ui behaviour with unresponsive buttons or blank page loads. Blogger is a classic example, but I see a lot of sites from travel to banking that used to be perfectly serviceable and boring become unreliable lately and months later the problems don't get fixed. Usually the source reveals angular.js or something like it.

This has got to be costing companies money, but it's hard to say when we'll see a return to simplicity as a virtue.
You wrote: "But most medical emergencies have some lead up to diagnosis and some wait time for the actual operation. ... Now with all this time, you theoretically have the ability to compare suppliers. But in our world, there is one regional monopoly providing care."

Even when there is more than source of care and when there is plenty of time and the person is interesting in comparison shopping, in practice that is still difficult to do in the US.

Last year there was a piece by Johnny Harris at Vox titled "I tried to find out how much my son's birth would cost. No one would tell me." https://www.vox.com/2016/5/5/11591592/birth-cost-hospital-bi...

Childbirth is the #1 reason why people go to the hospital. If the price estimate isn't available for an average/low-risk birth, then it's not going to be available for other procedures.

And again, this includes areas where there are multiple hospitals which provide maternity services, so your explanation of "local monopoly" isn't enough. (Quoting https://www.womenshealthmag.com/mom/costs-of-giving-birth : "this charging system often results in "wildly inflated" costs, and they can vary from hospital to hospital—even if you're just looking at ones in the same neighborhood.")

Your "basic econ 101" quip doesn't go very far to explain why it is that the governmental organizations which regulate these hospitals aren't, you know, regulating them to prevent such "basic econ 101" problems.

What's the point of giving them a local monopoly if they are going to abuse it?
How do you get a kid to understand something as abstract as an algorithm or a programming paradigm?

My approach is to start from something they are familiar with, like cooking. You have the ingredients (input), a sequence of ordered steps (algorithm) and the output (the expected result of the recipe).

What if you fry potatoes before you peel them? what if you omitted mentioning that potatoes had to be peeled? what if you use carrots instead of potatoes? what if potatoes are expired? does the potato shape or size matter for your recipe?... and you can continue from there.

That takes you as far as understanding that some instructions cannot be rearranged, that some attributes of the ingredient are important while some others aren't (leading to generalized recipes that accept more ingredient types), that there is a proper level of detail and verbosity, that there are validations that are required for your ingredients, that are best practices to be followed (e.g: washing your hands and your ingredients), etc.

Then, maybe the kid doesn't like cooking. You can try something else, like constructing a house for the dog, etc. Finally, you may want to try an electronics kit like Snap Circuits. I highly recommend it.

This approach in my opinion much better than starting from something like type inheritance and composition, or what a keyboard is... the reason being, the kid can build an intuition around it, experiment with it and even teach it to other kids. Most importantly, this knowledge can be applied directly into programming.

The key however, is to emphasize the concepts that can be translated into programming, otherwise it's just going to be wasted opportunities.

what's the one thing phones have tons of that desktops don't?

sensors. lots and lots of them, and many of them don't require an explicit permission to access.

if you pay the developers of a few nigh-ubiquitous mobile app dev libraries to let you phone home sensor data while their apps are on, you can probably get some really interesting novel information, and you might be able to find somebody willing to buy a dataset constructed from sensors on 50% of all smartphones.
Collective Intelligence Will End Identity-Based Politics
I've essentially presented the argument that gets you from either historical materialism or utilitarianism to communism/socialism. Here's the rest, laid out more explicitly:

.1 If my brother and I were one person, it would go from illegal to legal but nobody's balance sheets would change.

.2A (use this one if you like historical materialism) Laws and ethical notions are constructed because of balance sheets. Why, then, don't we change the law so that the apparently arbitrary distinction goes away?

.2B (use this one if you like utilitarianism) There's no basis for law beyond utility, and it's obvious that both cases have the same result. Therefore, there's no basis for a legal distinction.

I've never figured how to get out of this argument, except by making private property a fundamental right. That sounds a lot like objectivism, though.
Hello. Startups are counterintuitive. Success depends on being unpopular but right. The outgoing types conform.

My career has been fascinating and fun, with some genuine difficult patches. I'm grateful I didn't have a family farm to escape to.

It's ludicrous that the word "engineer" was defined to be considered "authority".

If you understand the nuances of a subject, you likely want to explain why you do, so that your thoughts aren't totally disregarded.

The problem is that the state wanted to disregard his (or anyone's) thoughts, so they defined "engineer" to carry authority, and levied a fine for anyone who sought to use the word.

This is a reasonable thing to do for professions like Medical Doctor, or EMT, where your title demands specific education. It is not reasonable for ambiguous words like "engineer".

The .net part hasn't released a version on parity with Clojure 1.9 yet, but it is up to date with 1.8. Not many people use it, but it is quite usable. The core was developed by Rich in tandem with the JVM version until Clojure 1.0.

At this point I'm mostly involved in hiring senior people (Senior Developers, Principals, Architects, etc). I definitely should modulate my claims by saying that a Junior level position is totally fine having a 1 pager, although I still like to see a couple page from them explaining what projects they've worked on.

The problem with short resumes is that it is easy to hide shallowness. While that is easy to fix in face-to-face interviews, that takes up a lot of time and $$$. If you have to give details about jobs and projects, it becomes more difficult to hide shallowness.

I once interviewed at "7 year C Developer". We brought the person in and after a bit of a chat, asked some basic interview question - build a linked list, or something. We said that you could assume you have a pointer only to the beginning of the list. The person stated, "well, I don't know much about pointers."

My argument is that they are not now, and never were, primarily a hedging instrument. While they can be used for hedging, like options for instance, they are primarily used for leverage. That is, it is much cheaper go long or short a particular name with CDS than it is just trading bonds. (Especially short which used to be nearly impossible.)

It is argued that this actually allows for better price discovery more efficiency in the credit markets. But that has be balanced with the fact that the CDS's have become untethered from the actual bonds that they purport to insure, and the tail has begun to wag the dog (as evidenced in the original article.)

Because it's still emergency physicians performing the work, for the same cost (both marginal and overhead).

The answer is to open up actual urgent care practices, which are cheaper to run, not to change the billing codes used in emergency room settings.

If you find the CHP treatment to be unfair, you should try visiting anywhere else in the country. When I first moved to CA, I could't help but laugh whenever someone said they got a ticket and they were 'barely even speeding' when they were going 85 in a 65. It's so much more pleasant here in CA. Hell, I've been here for 15 years and never even been pulled over. You've really gotta have bad luck to catch the attention of the CHP -- for better or worse.
A durable power of attorney doesn't sign away your right to life. It gives someone revocable control of your life. You can withdraw that control at any time (assuming that you have the mental competence to be able to make legal decisions). There is no way to sign away your right to life, you can always take back any rights that you give someone.

You can make it more difficult by using things like cold wallets with Shamir Secret Sharing schemes, but $70m of seemingly untraceable assets is an attractive target. Even if you require a quorum of ten people to access the cold wallet, that’s still $10m per person if split amongst themselves.

> Medicare pays cost based rates (for all services) to small rural hospitals in part to ensure this. "Critical access hospital" is the keyword if you want to read more.

They pay extra to small hospitals that don't receive enough privately-insured patients to break even on standard Medicare reimbursement rates. For other hospitals, they pay rates that are below-cost, and hospitals charge private insurers extra to make up the difference.
