Surprise! Out-Of-Network Billing for Emergency Care in the United States
cep.lse.ac.uk/pubs/download/dp1524.pdf

Abstract

Using insurance claims data capturing 8.9 million emergency episodes, we show that in 22% of cases, patients
attended in-network hospitals, but were treated by out-of-network physicians. We find that out-of-network
billing is concentrated in a small group of primarily for-profit hospitals. Within 50% of hospitals in our sample,
fewer than 5% of patients saw out-of-network physicians. In contrast, at 15% of hospitals, more than 80% of
patients saw out-of-network physicians. Out-of-network billing allows physicians to substantially increase their
payment rates relative to what they would be paid for treating in-network patients and significantly improve
their outside option when bargaining over in-network payments. Because patients cannot avoid out-of-network
physicians during an emergency, physicians have an incentive to remain out-of-network and receive higher
payment rates. Hospitals incur costs when out-of-network billing occurs within their facilities. We illustrate in a
model and confirm empirically via analysis of two leading physician-outsourcing firms that physicians offer
transfers to hospitals to offset the hospitals’ costs of allowing out-of-network billing to occur within their
facilities. We find that a New York State law that introduced binding arbitration between physicians and
insurers to settle surprise bills reduced out-of-network billing rates.
Trouble is "unearned income" is one of those dog whistle worlds like "rent seekers" - which tends to lead to rants about "the gold standard" and onwards to well we all know where that ends.

> In any case, if Damore claimed that was happening and it isn't, then everyone can be happy, because Damore was asking precisely to stop doing that, and noone needs to feel attacked.

Damore claimed a lot of things in the manifesto, for example he claimed that conservatives are treated unfairly at Google. Had you read the text, you would know that the manifesto was more of an alt-right screed than a treaty on the biological determinants of behavior.

> My criticism is based on the most classical anecdotal case, that Damore made an essay, there was a shitstorm and he got fired. That was my original topic. I have made no opinion on the contents of the essay , because i haven't read it nor its a topic I find interesting.

So you are painting Damore as a martyr of PC culture, but haven't bothered to actually inform yourself on the subject.

> Thats xenophobic. Bear in mind that if you had made this comment on twitter, you would run the risk of being fired and also become unemployable.

That's cute. I lived most of my life in Argentina, my family is in Argentina, I am an Argentine citizen and an active member of the Argentine community in San Francisco. Nice of you to take a joke and try to make yourself a victim. For someone who decries PC culture, you are becoming really good at cry-bullying ;)

Pressure sensor that cuts off the electricity if pressure gets too high. No more electricity, no more heating, pressure drops.
Another one I've seen on my mom's pressure cooker that she's had for probably 40 years or more, is a physical plug that will shoot out if the pressure gets too high and the release valve gets stuck. Of course, not sure what the potential damage from this plug would be (I've only ever seen it shoot into the pot when it was removed from the stove, and cooled too quickly). But better than the whole thing popping.
It's a WRX.
Here's the thing: not everyone will accept formal proof. Sooner or later they will have to be silenced.
An interesting angle on studying personality is through the lens of research on psychoactive substances. A study on magic mushrooms several years ago found that "just one strong dose of hallucinogenic mushrooms can alter a person's personality for more than a year and perhaps permanently." Previously, it was posited that: "personality rarely changes much after the age of 25 or 30..... This is one of the first studies to show that you actually can change adult personality.."

This raises the follow up question: what is changing? Is there a fundamentally different reaction to the same situation, or is there instead a different interpretation of the situation which is what is leading to a different reaction?

Cognitive behavioral therapy, the "most widely used evidence-based practice for improving mental health," provides evidence that the latter is absolutely a possible answer. "CBT is a psychotherapy that is based on the cognitive model: the way that individuals perceive a situation is more closely connected to their reaction than the situation itself."

Based on this, it seems very possible at least one way people can "choose" to change their personality (as defined by their reactions (feelings, thoughts, and actions) to situations) is to seek to find ways to change the way they percieve the world.

Tipping is a non-issue and I am more than happy to dismiss it; other developed nations get by without tipping, we can as well. New technology always forces some professions to change, and changing from a tip-based system to just having a higher base salary does not sound so terrible. Tips are nothing more than a way for business owners to justify paying their workers less.

I agree that there are problems with a cashless society. I just do not see the end of tipping as one of those problems.
How is profit defined?

If a bank creates the money for a loan on a house, the loan defaults, and the house is foreclosed on, does that foreclosed asset count as a profit?

Counterparty risk makes those venues practically useless for shorting. If Bitcoin goes up, you lose on the short. If Bitcoin crashes, the exchanges likely get compromised and you lose on counterparty risk. The only time you "win" is if Bitcoin goes down a little. Those aren't savvy trading parameters.
The Git UI that comes with intelij can do all the essentials git statements and has a console that logs everything it is doing.

kind of. But the miners have a financial incentive to follow the system. The system is built in such a way that it's in their best interest to follow the system (except in a coordinated 51% attack, then the system falls apart).
Intended or not both of them adopted 10nm which is closer to Intel’s 14nm not counting the fact that they neither can produce large or power hungry chips on either process.

GF is skipping EUV for the initial 7nm process and based on the issues they and Intel have been having with masks and patterning under EUV I’m not sure if they’ll be on track for EUV in 2019.

In either case it would be very interesting to see what Intel is going to end up releasing it might be in lithography hell with 10nm or it might be overblown.

Intel’s 14nm++ and +++ processes atm do not have competition and it’s not clear just how much it would matter if GF moves to 7nm before Intel atm.

Intel’s biggest problem is less with their process and more with their roadmap as it seems that they want to launch 14nm+++, 10nm and 10nm+ products all within a similar time window with a huge overlap.
If I was an OEM atm it would be rather confused.

1. 7.25 is not enough to live on. And the ability to pay less with the assumption that there will be tips does not make it better. Especially considering that in many states you can require tip-pooling, effectively removing the stated point of tips in the first place (to motivate better service). Nor does this really address the problem of tipping as a cultural phenomenon, it just doesn't really need to exist.

2. The "teach better money management skills" has really nothing to do with this problem, but is continually trotted out as some sort of solution. If you don't have enough money, there's no "managing" it. This isn't an avocado toast problem, it's a wage issue.

Additionally, the incentives are a moving target. For example, with the federal government threatening to end forgiveness plans, can you blame someone for not taking advantage of the option with the potential they will be stuck with the bag, plus interest? Same goes for home ownership incentives, charitable giving incentives, and so on. If the incentive could be gone one day due to the massively complicated and political game that is the tax code, I can hardly blame someone who doesn't have money for a financial adviser for not taking advantage of those programs.

> Stocks are a different story altogether. You are buying equity in a company that has value. The stock market might be under or overvalued at any given time, but it is still tied to the value of the companies.

I would say stocks are valued by the perceived value of the company and/or the potential future value. They are somewhat speculative too. Look at Tesla or Amazon for example. They have insane values despite not even turning a profit for long periods of time.

I get your point though. Bitcoin has no intrinsic value tied to anything specific, but I still don’t think that makes it a pyramid scheme. Bitcoin has A LOT value to people in countries that are on the brink of economic collapse due to inflation. Even in the United States, the FED prints over $200 billion a month. So in theory Bitcoin should hold value over the long term better than the US dollar.
I don't see where the argument is made that there is no added value.

Instead, i think the author rightly points out that it is possible to do it a different way.
There are several reasons for it, including your nuclear weapons practical consideration.

- The US allowed China into the WTO, urged by globalist corporations who thought it would be massively to their benefit. That was the spark that sent their economy skyrocketing. Their economy had been growing at a healthy clip, however immediately after joining the WTO it doubled in size in just five years from $1.4t to $2.8t. It is still widely believed, perhaps naively hoped for, by major US corporations and financial interests that China can be a growth opportunity for investment and trade. That keeps the criticism more subdued than it otherwise would have been (and that appears to be gradually fading, as it becomes obvious China is running an almost strictly mercantilist economic nationalism strategy).

- China repaid some of the trade imbalance, which provided them with vast piles of dollars, by buying up a small chunk of US debt. China recognized it as being in their self-interest, just as it was with Japan, providing some additional influence. That bought them a small amount of political cover.

- China has largely stayed out of several prominent spheres of US military dominace, including in the Americas, the Middle East and Europe. That may change of course, as China has begun pushing its military outwards. [1]

- The US has a slightly unusual liking of China, which goes back a century or more. The US protected China from being nuked by Russia in 1969 [2]. The US destroyed the Empire of Japan and fought side by side with the Chinese to push the Japanese out of mainland Asia. The US was primary in working with China to open its economy, including work done by politicians like Nixon / Kissinger, and US companies / investors. The US is among the few global powers of the last 500 years that didn't seek to invade, conquer or humiliate China, but instead traded massively with them and invested massively into them (despite the fact that they were hard Communists and the US Capitalist). There's some kind of kinship (despite the occasional adversarial tones) between the two nations, the US maybe sees some of itself in China's rise. On the economic side there was actually less hysteria in the US about China's rise to global power than there was with Japan during the 1970s and 1980s (with Japan actually overtaking the US GDP per capita figures by 1987), despite China's climb being far more dramatic.

We have a naming convention that feature branches are named "feature-[descriptionOfFeature]" here and I wanted to bulk-delete all the merged feature branches that developers had left dangling, without killing the release branches and the like. Grepping helped there.

Each village might have 1 Raspberry Pi attached to a large hard drive and a solar panel, which stores everything — the village library.

Each mobile device would only have to store the subset of data currently relevant to that person — like a backpack.

Maybe there's also an Endless Computer at home keeping the data important to you long term: family history, photo albums, newspaper clippings — the home bookshelf.

(In Scuttlebutt terms, the village library is a Pub; the home bookshelf is a Scuttlebot following only your immediate family and friends; the backpack supports out-of-order messages and discards anything more than a few weeks old.)

On barrier to learning git is that people are understandably reluctant to try things out because they are working in real repositories.

This site makes a game out of learning git: https://learngitbranching.js.org/

It's a great way to learn without putting your real repository at risk.

You're citing firms who have direct ties to the government. I would expect China to also block Lockheed Martin from acquiring Chengdu Aerospace - and nobody would bat an eye.

What the US government HASN'T done is say "sorry ZTE, you can't sell ANY phones in the US because national security". There's a very, very big difference.
I am sure that all the doormen, bartenders and the like out there will be very reassured to hear that them earning less money is a non-issue you are more than happy to dismiss.

> changing from a tip-based system to just having a higher base salary does not sound so terrible

Of course it doesn't. But that isn't what's happening. Instead, they get paid the same base salary and don't get tips. And the profound disinterest in problems like this is why more and more people resent Silicon Valley rather than look up to it.

Most people in the US are stuck with only one choice of broadband Internet providers, and those who are lucky might have two options[1].

The difference between Comcast and Amazon/Costco is that when Amazon provides sub par customer service you have the option to shop elsewhere. The reason Comcast can be so well known for providing terrible support is because there is no alternative, your only other option is to choose a dial-up provider and sacrifice a consistent Internet connection.

Best cryptocurrencies anology you could make is if you think them as they were part of an a online trading card game. In any TGC you can buy cards with fiat currencies and can sell yours cards for more cards or fiat currencies, the exchange value is speculative based on how many people wants that card and increases his value while more people is playing the game.

For me bitcoin is a beautiful experiment on how things would work if you let a capitalist's control the market without a government limiting their activities.
This project exists to offer an open source EMR and give providers and patients the freedom that comes with that.

OpenEMR has gone through the rigid US regulatory requirement for an outpatient EMR and is Meaningful Use certified. It can compete in functionality with any of the other proprietary outpatient EMRs out there.

This then give providers and patients throughout the globe, especially low resource areas, access to a free and open source fully functional product.

And we are always looking for volunteers, contributors, and donations to maintain the progress of OpenEMR.

Today, rural internet development is fairly often compared to delivering phone and electricity back in the day. It, too, is sometimes a homegrown affair because it isn't profitable to commercial establishments, yet can serve as a vital lifeline connecting isolated people to the larger world.

2) Eliminate that tip as part of wage 'loophole'.

That is interesting. As I understand it now, the way tips are factored into wages, it benefits the employee more so than the employer. Society loses because the employee is supposed to report tips so they are taxed, the employer loses because they still have to pay minimum wage, and the employee wins because they are paid minimum wage and get their tips tax free.

Maybe I'm just being dense, but how would this elimination be beneficial?
I really wanted to like Kubernetes, but I couldn't figure it out. I'm a pretty experienced Linux admin, and despite days of reading all the sources of documentation I could find I couldn't get the networking setup to where I thought it should be.

I don't know if that was a problem of my mental model being wrong and the documentation not educating me on the correct model, or the documentation of the CNI, Flannel/whatever just being too sparse, or what.

I started with the Google Ubuntu packages, and was able to get containers up fairly quickly, but being able to access them from anything other than the host machine I just couldn't figure out. Asking for help on IRC wasn't useful (aside: what's the deal with IRC channels with tons of users but no messages for days?)

I've since wiped that cluster and tried the Ubuntu Kubernetes installation using conjure-up, it seems like it did the right thing but I'm not sure yet how to get to a cluster from a single machine.

Trying to decide if I pursue Kubernetes more, try Dokku/Flynn/Deis (which I just saw referenced in a previous HN discussion) because they look really promising...

I had hoped it would be the ganeti of containerization, but I had far fewer problems with ganeti.
A co-worker of mine recently implemented something very similar.

Our major feature over Make was emitting events as newline separated JSON, so that a downstream process can visualize them in a pretty way, track progress, etc.

We use ours run multiple Chef recipes in parallel.
I submit that Tannhaeuser's vision is what can replace the current web in its cross-platform-app-distribution role, leaving the document-browsing side to mine :-)

That addresses the core problem, as I see it, which is that when I want to browse some damn HTML I'm subjected to a ton of actual user-hostile behavior and lots more potential hostile behavior that I have to worry about, all while paying for it in disk space, memory, and processor cycles (so, paying in terms of battery and UX). Mixing the two is why the Web sucks so very much. Separating them into a document-browsing client and a sandboxed-app client is precisely what I wish would happen. I don't want a link in my document-browsing client to maybe open an application without telling me, nor for it to have access to all that capability when I just want to read Wikipedia or whatever, and trust that the links I follow won't lead to some "page" that spies on my every mouse movement, mines Bitcoin, auto-plays video ads, pops up "SUBSCRIBE TO MY NEWSLETTER" modals, or any crap like that.

I'm pessimistic about strict semantic markup/typing of data being viable as a web replacement, as in JohnStrange's suggestion.
Assets get valued using various valuation models. But banks generally will try to sell houses as quickly as possible, they don't like sitting on stuff like that.

That said, what makes you think having a cash-oriented society guarantees tipping? There are industrialized nations that still rely on cash but where tipping is not ingrained in the culture; my experience in Japan was that if I left a tip people would assume I had made an error in my arithmetic or forgot my change.

I agree that privacy is a problem with going cashless. Let's ignore tipping and instead focus on an actual problem.
