I think you're being a little too pessimistic, although I do see where you're coming from. Technical jargon and vocabulary aren't created out of thin air: they are meant to efficiently and effectively convey certain facts and behaviors. Sometimes (perhaps many times?) there are co-opted and misused by certain people (many times managers, since they're further away from actual coding).

The thing about engineer being a good teammate: I don't think it is about extroversion as much as realizing that modern software systems are very non-monolithic and thus require cooperation among many different services to work effectively. This means that the days when a person could write the entire thing by himself/herself is over, and a lot more co-operation is required among engineers to design and build effective systems. That cooperation requires a certain amount of communication skills (apart from stellar technical skills), but it doesn't mean that you have to be an extrovert.
There are about four Michelin starred restaurants within a 30km radius, there are also other towns within that radius, so its a little more complicated than one town of 18,000 one Michelin starred restaurant. Also menu items started at 30 and went up to approx 110 euros.
Ford famously raised the wages he offered, resulting in much better employees; however the only way he could make it so that his employees could afford to buy his cars was to make the cars affordable for the average family, since if he raised the wages to a level that meant they could afford his cars, he would only sell to his own employees and then he would have made no profit.

I won't comment on your assertion, except to say that Marx predicted the same, and yet it hasen't happened yet.
I personally do not understand the buzz around constexpr etc. All the real buziness is happening at runtime anyway and compilers already optimize code quite decently. The extra maintenance burden just doesn't pays off.
> The current method is for insurance companies to install software on their SMTP server and that's about it.

I would hope that they require TLS encryption for any connection to their SMTP server. Otherwise, any communication containing PHI could easily be intercepted. This also doesn't address the issue of securing the IMAP or Exchange and MTA server(s) that the sender uses to send the email to the insurance company.

> much less chance of mistakes

Unless the sender CCs a copy to another address where the MTA doesn't require TLS encrypted connections and doesn't have any such software installed on the MTA. That's why the solution I proposed (having the client program automatically encrypt the email before sending it and relying on PKI to handle decryption on the other end) would be more fool-proof since, even if the email was CC'd to another address, it couldn't be decrypted by the unintended recipient.

As for the cost argument, I think it could be implemented as a nominal cost on top of the costs that the physician already incurs in the process of applying/renewing their license, the practice license, etc (e.g. name, mailing address, telephone number, fax number, email address along with your PKI state board signed certificate).

> Also, the vast majority of communication containing PHI is with insurance companies and the government

Doctors have to communicate with other physicians outside of their group practice, hospitals they may not be affiliated with, and pharmacies. How is PHI communication in this context currently handled?

> Of course there is no way to really tell unless we complete vet it out and put cost associations with everything and do PHI leak risk assessments.

That is true. But I think that the technology we currently have to secure communication between clients and webservers (that allows us to do things like buy things online, interact with the bank, file taxes, etc along with client side certificates) should work perfectly well with PHI containing information. The problem is setting up the PKI for that type of communication.

Since governments, universities, and private companies have already done this, there's no reason why hospitals (especially university affiliated hospitals), state boards, and health care providers can't also do this.
Technically there's a cost to precision.

The wages are a proxy for buying power.

Haven't read Marx.. I guess the speculations are going full-circle. Hopefully only the speculations.
Well at it's core language is sort of completely arbitrary, but that's beside the point I'm making. I'm not debating the origin or why it is the way it is, but simply observing that this is how it is currently and it looks strange and counterintuitive.
Don't listen to the ethno-nationalists. There are other ways of building consensus than based on something as slippery as ethnicity. Nationalism per se may not be a bad thing (stripped of imperialism, as you say), but tying it to ethnicity IS bad. Tying it to culture is better, as it is something that can be taught and acquired and shared (even better is building a metaculture of sharing and appreciating other cultures in a positive-sum, which is, I think, one of the core positive attributes of the American Experiment). Don't let the ethno-nationalists (racists) own nationalism/patriotism/etc.

(Indeed, the ironically-pan-nationalist ethno-nationalism of today is largely foreign to America and is opposed to the consensus of American nationalism developed during and after WW2 and on into the civil rights era... Of course this is a thing that hasn't been entirely resolved.)
Let's translate your sentences to illustrate what I mean.

What it is like? So you are comparing one entity experiencing something to another. Experiencing is a process that takes place inside the entity and among its component parts.

Know you are that thing - every thing is itself, if it has well defined boundaries. Knowing something is just having access to that information and good reasons to believe it to be correct. Here we have a tautology - that a thing is itself - so it doesn't require much to know that. What you are probably more interested in is a mechanism that can take advantge of that knowledge in various ways. Like self preservation.

Humans are self conscious.

Crabs are self conscious too because they act with a purpose of self preservation, which requires knowledge of what is them and what is not them.

Crystals do not have this knowledge or do not have a mechanism to act on it in a way that manipulates semantic symbols.
Calling Kaufman a comedian is a bit misleading - he's far more of a performance artist whose favoured delivery vehicle was that of a prank, put-on, or practical joke.

I believe I've done smooth vertical scrolling for games on the Tandy Color Computer, which is basically the same hardware as the Dragon 32. That was 30 years ago, so my memory is a little rusty.

I believe I used the "Can we start the screen memory on any address in video RAM?" mechanism from the article.

There was definitely some sort of boundary limitation: IIRC I couldn't get horizontal smooth scrolling to work, but I'm fairly sure I got vertical scrolling working.

If anybody has an archive of the disks from T&D software they can double check my assertion...
For smaller research groups I expect you’d need to contact researchers and ask for their raw data. Unless you’re an expert in the field expert, they may not be willing to provide.

If you are an expert they probably know of you already and would be happy to collaborate on whatever further research is done using their acquired data. (This happens between experimentalists and theorists all the time).

Some larger collaborations may provide their raw data broadly. Eg, I believe all Hubble Space Telescope data becomes publicly available (the PI’s get some limited time exclusive use to their run data, so they don’t get scooped, but it’s made public later.). Other setups like CERN and FermiLab may do similarly. In these cases it’s up to you to dig deep into the instrument manuals and do your own calibrations and adjustments.

Regarding matching experiment to theory, that’s basically done by experimental research groups directly, in their own publications, probably widely available in the Arxiv.
Money does trickle down but what it trickles down onto is a determining factor in economic growth.

When rich people put their money into employing people for non-productive servant type jobs, welfare for people (to not work), loans for people to go to college (to not work, at least in the short term), hand outs for their children and family members (to not work) then the end result is a lot of people not working and a lot fewer things being produced by the people who do work.

If a rich person buys a yacht or a private plane or a hundred million dollar mansion, that creates economic activity (people have to build that stuff) but it does not have the same secondary economic impact as investing that money into a factory, basic infrastructure, R&D, or some other productive use.

Money is trickling down, but far too much of it seems to be trickling down to a non-productive servant class and non-productive veblen goods.

> With some of the treatment options, as I understand it, it's even possible to be an addict and a functioning member of society.

Absolutely. Unfortunately it's often very hard to get good treatment options. A close friend of mine has to travel 45 minutes each way, each day, to get to a clinic where she pays $20 each day.

...and she's fortunate that she was able to get a spot there after spending months buying suboxone from other addicts because she couldn't get a doctor to prescribe it because doctors are constrained on how many prescriptions they can write.

When you're poor and have no reliable transportation, that's a brutal way to live. Falling into addiction is easy, and often you never truly escape.
Why wouldn't it be? I love eating out at nice restaurants and traveling. Maybe the issue is the middle class doesn't have as much disposable money as it used to.
Long time voidlinux user here on a laptop, and have also used extensibly: archlinux, gentoo, openbsd (it hosts and smtp, and web server public on the internet), freebsd, alpine and slackware-current. From void you should expect many things to be different:

* No launchd or systemd mess. Runit takes care of the init process.

* xbps: a fast and simple package management software, that also resolves dependencies.

* Clean but scarse documentation, if you have used other distributions you should be fine.

* No automatic configuration of programs, you have to explicitly define what you want for sshd, nginx, etc.

I started GNU/Linux distribution hopping after archlinux's maintainers decided to migrate to systemd, back then I had been using it without problems and for experimentation purposes followed the migration; after a couple of updates I had an unbootable system were systemd wasn't able to run logind, diagnosis showed all files where in place, but run out of time and didn't want to discover what was wrong with it.

I use voidlinux on a T410s mainly for developing, learning programming languages and experiment from time to time with KVM and libvirt (which is another mess), hope to change completely to openbsd in a couple of months.
There’s also bib gourmand ratings in the same guide for exactly that, which is something like half a star. Less prestigious, but still an accomplishment. If he were starred and then started serving similar quality at the lower price point, I don’t see why they wouldn’t give him one, unless they consider the PR we are reading now a disqualifier for further consideration.
I think you should review his premise: he is using constexpr to eliminate a separate exe, a data file, and code that loads and reads the data file at runtime. His maintenance burden goes down.

Ford’s assembly line required higher investment in worker training, so churn was more expensive for Ford than other autoworkers. Ford employees did not represent a major buying market for the company and did not own vehicles in higher proportion when compared to the rest of the population.

If we decide that we want to encourage companies whose final products workers can afford and discourage companes whose final products are unaffordable, we desperately need more manufacturers of pencils, plastic bags or napkins (single month’s salary buys one a lifetime supply) and need fewer companies like Boeing or SpaceX (even after a 100 year career the workers cannot afford the final product).
To loose that many wealthy relatives in a single year is a very special case. One would assume that the majority of cases would involve the death of married couples, which normally involve "all to spouse" wills, making an extremely rare case where a single person would inherit substantially from both.

Small nitpick: It isn't a "gift of $22 million" but a bequest. If gifts of 22 million were allowed free of tax, then absolutely nobody would ever pay inheritance taxes. The current annual limit for non-taxable gifts is $15,000 per recipient.

Wonder why wealthy US families like having lots of grandkids? Because each can receive 15K into their trust fund tax-free from each elderly relative per year. Amongst established families this is the primary means of moving money between generations. And if you are pregnant now, getting the baby born before Monday means a 15K bonus that it won't get if born on Tuesday.

i was thinking if you roll your own fork of the blockchain and set the costs to free, you just roll your own miners as the distributed nodes and it can work as a distributed storage that takes care of the consensus.
Maybe, but there still would have been the worry that the star was scaring people away.

Also, I could be wrong but I thing the "Michelin starred food truck" and other cheaper starred restaurants are all outside France, in France there's still much more of a common standard that Michelin starred restaurants feel they need to live up to including experience and price.

And of course, it's much better to renounce the star than to lose it.
For the first two, that's probably a better way to put it. Breadth and T-shaped skill sets are all the rage.

For the last bit, I tried to hint at that in my original comment. People who achieve that breadth outside the US can normally negotiate directly with employers in the US. This can give them more money and gives the company a more stable resource. The bulk hires from Infosys, Tata, etc. don't have this luxury.

For US employees, there's both the drive to keep ahead of offshoring and the fact that so many US employers will invest in their employees. This class of offshoring companies that are suffering don't do that.

Which is another point: These are not intended to be generalizations of all offshore teams and offshoring companies. The more breadth and automation an offshore company leverages, the more resilient they are.

I don't doubt that Infosys and Tata will survive, but the sheer scale of their employment numbers is going to take a permanent hit and stateside devs are again going to need to become even more jack-of-all-trades with more than one specialization to stay ahead.

Behold, the birth of the TT skillset. /s
Why? It sums up perfectly the article. The existence of the Universe IS a mystery. And the article is about neutrinos.
I've always observed that HN leans pro-regulation.
It depends. Some people (most people?) think their thoughts in words, and find it hard to believe that other people don't. Other people (me, maybe you?) just think "thoughts". Wordlessly, imagelessly. The article supports this, but the GP (it seems to me) finds it worthwhile to point out that people can still think without words, which indicates to me that he thinks with words.

I have had a very hard time explaining to people that I just think thoughts, like flashes of... thinking, without words or actions or images. It's like when speaking or typing, you already know what you're going to say or type or write before you put it into words, but some people have trouble relating to that.
