The parent isn't arguing that these things are true. Just providing quotes of things Nintendo says.
There is an Adam Ruins Everything episode about that. Basically hospitals were reasonable, then insurance companies came along and brought extra business to hospitals. For that, they felt they deserved a cut. Since the hospitals were mostly non-profits, or low profit, they didn't have anywhere to cut, so in response they raised their rates to provide a cut. There is more to it, but that's the origin of the charge master.

Of course regulation requires administrative staff which costs more money as well.

Malpractice is ungodly expensive too.

Other costs are the requirement that hospitals treat the uninsured. I was listening to NPR when the ACA debate was going on, and the CEO of a local large hospital said about 25% of his costs are due to treating people who couldn't pay. That's a huge number.
Seconded. The healthcare market is an exceptionally complex beast, with all sorts of information asymmetries, scarcity power and adverse selection problems. It's very hard to regulate and cannot be safely deregulated, and that's the reason many countries went with a top down single payer system: it's inefficient but prevents the failed market US has, where $20K out of pocket for a basic surgery is considered a good deal.
That's a very fascinating idea. Also might that same button turn on all tracking and signal pinging. I wonder if it's been considered but has not been implemented due to mistaken buttons pressed

Who wants to guess requested this backdoor be added?

A source code revision history audit revealed that this authentication bypass mechanism was added in 2004 when ENOS was owned by Nortel’s Blade Server Switch Business Unit (BSSBU). The mechanism was authorized by Nortel and added at the request of a BSSBU OEM customer. Nortel spun BSSBU off in 2006 to form BLADE Network Technologies (BNT). BNT was purchased by IBM in 2010, and, subsequently, Lenovo in 2014.

Oh good God, I’d never thought of this... I’ve broken more bones than I care to count (wrist, triple torsion fracture in my ankle, two ribs twice, shoulder) and I’ve never paid a penny (here in Italy). I’d never even remotely contemplated it might be a cost beyond the annoyance.

>Age will play a part in sentencing. The maximum for someone under 18 is 10 years, whereas the adult sentence for such a crime could be up to 30 years.

Up to 30 years for rape and murder? 30 years is a long long time but that's a max sentence for this crime?! What in the world?

EDIT: I agree that 30 years is effectively life just living in the US where they typically give people one (or sometimes multiple) life sentences for crimes like this has made my judgement odd.
What I don't get is: why not do it like HP? With some of their switch gear, you can connect ports 1/2 via cable during powerup to trigger a reset, proving ultimate control over the physical device. Other HP gear I use has a "clear config" pinhole which together with the "reset" pinhole can be used to wipe the password, the config or both.

Also, I remember that some years ago I read a story about a sysadmin who locked down all networking equipment and some of it could actually not be resetted and had to be a) serviced and b) completely reconfigured, leading to significant cost...
For me it was 10/10.
Passengers are cost AND travel-time/hassle sensitive. It appears Airbus didn't place enough value into the "travel-time/hassle" part.

More detail: the Dreamliner is 20% more efficient than previous generation planes. This allowed airlines to "break" the major hubs into many quicker/easier direct flights at a price that passengers are willing to pay. Boeing bet increasing value in this manner was superior than Airbus's bet to simply make hubs cheaper to operate.
They still own a bunch of hardware, though, which can be repurposed for other networks. If you're a big miner, and something on whattomine.com seems attractive, you'd join the network, mine it, unload via exchanges and leave for greener pastures once the ROI is not that attractive.
Curious - did you stop 100% or do you still smoke occasionally?
I pay $85.99/mo for Fios for 25/25. I started out at about $54, and they've been bumping it up. I called and complained, and they said that's the best rate.

As an existing customer, I cannot get the "gigabit internet for $79" rate that's advertised on the website. That $70-90 rate for Verizon is the promo rate, because it will go up over time after you join.

Ok, so I can switch to Comcast, and get the $44 rate for a year, and then switch back, but that sounds...dumb.
Glad I could help! It is an insanely awesome use of "smart luggage" though! I didn't even realize there was such a thing until I read the article! Cool stuff!

Monthly non-promo rate for gigabit fiber:

Stockholm - Telia - 999 Swedish Krona (~$125)

London - HyperOptic - 60 Pounds (~$80-90)

Zurich - iWay - 79 Swiss Francs (~$80)

New York - Verizon - $80-90.

It's not clear to me that there is much room to go down in countries with similar cost of labor. (Keep in mind that median household income in France is about the same as Choctaw County, Alabama).

This may work for chronic conditions and non-lethal problems, but creates a problem when you're talking about urgent care: stroke has a 2-3 hour window for administration of TPA. The goal for intervention in a myocardial infarction is under an hour, same for trauma, where people may be in the ICU for days to months (a lot of months). Who covers those costs?
You can see on a regular basis that South Korean exchanges are always paying 25-50% more than Western exchanges.

The Bitcoin pump to 20k, the entire history of Bitcoin Cash, and recently the Ripple pump to $3 were all pumped by Bithumb, Upbit, etc. Hence the controversy with Coinmarketcap removing Korean exchanges for a second resulting in the marketcap dropping 50 billion.

Even right now, almost 50% of XRP volume is in SK all paying > $2, but there's no Western exchange trading above $2. See: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ripple/#markets

On the internet, that flies. It might not seem completely trustable but then again nothing on the internet should be taken alone. Further, it’s not like there are many safe ways to make such a claim.
I recently flew a 787 for first time and felt it provided a similar spacious experience to A380. Ceiling space and the large windows seems to help that experience.

I'd still hate to see jumbo jets (specially A380) to disappear.

I'm not sure I buy that reason, unless the customization cost extends to the equipment and process for building out the interior. Surely this cost would be identified and then the options available reduced? But much harder, if your need to retool for a cheaper interior.

This thread reminds me of a similar one entitled something like "What are your food hacks?" that I saw on HN years ago.

I did a quick search for that thread on hn.algolia.com so that I could post the link, but did not find it, maybe because their data collection does not go back that far.

One of the comments in it that I found interesting was by PG, who wrote about how to cook rice and beans, to save on costs.

Wasn't just about the costs, was interesting otherwise too.

E.g. (after the prep) put the stuff in the cooker, and forget about it :)

Was reminded of it by both the thread subject and by this comment by navd in this thread:

"The price agreements between hospitals and insurance companies are confidential, "

This is the number one issue that makes any kind of market mechanism impossible. These prices have to be made public. There should also not be much variation between prices for different insurers and not-insured. Hospitals should state a standard price like every other business has to do.
Ideally, a single payer system.

I am not advocating for this cash only option to be the entire system. I am merely saying that Obamacare is broken and I am glad to see alternatives emerging, given that Trump has so far failed to provide a real solution at the federal level.
You're overindulging in cynicism. It's fair to say that, smugglers or not, Boston as a whole wasn't too found of Crown rule: tea party, Boston Massacre, Powder Alarm, Intolerable Acts (inc. abolishing home rule), etc. The closing end of the Battle of Lexington and Concord were citizens[+] showing up just to take potshots at the retreating redcoats. The war basically started with British troops under siege in Boston.

It's weird - it's very hard to find 'Mexican dirt weed' these days, since all the medical dispensaries opened up.

In Germany, most murder has 15y tops - everything above (Sicherungsverwahrung) is reserved only for really hardened and/or psychologically "mad/dangerous" criminals.

Locking someone up for 30 years is more or less equivalent to a death sentence - society will have progressed so much during this timeframe that the convict will never be any productive part of society again. At that timeframe, seriously, it's more humane to give the convict a gun with a single bullet than lock him up for 30 or more years - and many people are locked up for longer for non-violent crimes.

Then again, the US is barbarian enough to lock up juveniles for life, so people saying "30y is not enough" doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

So the thing is that as long as Nvidia tapes out a new architecture every single year, the best you can really do is beat them by a factor of two or so by matching them without the constraint of fixed function graphics transistors along for the ride.

And I think you need to beat them by a factor of 5 to 10 against currently shipping hardware (not last year's model or worse) to get traction. Also you have to deliver perf, not just perf/W. Those two constraints alone will eliminate 80% or so of these companies I suspect.
I had that same error; Firefox was using a cached version of a Javascript file instead of loading the new one. Typing Ctrl+F5 (Reload & override cache) fixed it. I don't know the command for other browsers.

I might try to implement an "another example" feature some time. The program enumerates worlds internally when it is searching for an example/counterexample, so that feature should be doable.

Yes, ambient light affects pupil dilation.

There's no tragedy of the commons; airport fees can and are raised, leading some companies to switch to nearby airports, like Ryanair is doing in Brussels (moving some flights to Charleroi). And as fees increase, so does the profit potential of building a new low-fees airport farther away.
Can someone with a better understanding of economics than me explain something:

How is the "point to point" (direct short flights via Ryanair and the like) beating "hub and spoke"(hubs like London and Frankfurt)?

I don't mean for convenience - obviously it's nicer to not have layovers.

But I mean economically. In the last 10 years, fuel prices have only gone up, as has environmental awareness, and the A380 is surely cheaper per passenger than a plane half it's size. So shouldn't flights via hubs be significantly cheaper and be the most popular?
I have an account on their site, but that apparently doesn't let me get these books without having to manually enter my info... unless I've missed something?
Not sure where they get that from. Murder in Germany can have a life-long sentence, and German media reports mention it in reports about the case as such. (Actual sentence durations vary, since a normal for-life sentence still has the possibility to release after at least 15 years. EDIT: average appears to be ~20 years according to wikipedia)
Last year I wrote a Go service handle JSON posting with payload of ~ 100KB and insert them into MongoDB. It requires trivial amount of work and on a single t2.small server it can handle up to 200K RPM just fine. So this number 1M request on 4x c4.Large mean 250K RPM on a single c4.large. Maybe their payload is too big and writing data to S3 is probably slower than to a MongoDB cluster.

I was so happy at Go performance and since that day I realize just how slow other language is. I found Java is quite comparable to Go as well. I was coming from Ruby/PHP and I didn't realize how fast other languages are until I tried it.
I've done this before. The problem with the free-space optics is they're incredibly sensitive to anything that might come in the way of the link - like birds, rain, snow, drones, anything you can imagine! Also the range is very limited. A free space optics link with a failover to unlicensed RF link works pretty well.

Although tbh it's not that difficult to deal with RF licensing, depending on where you are exactly.
No. I simply pointed out that someone with sufficiently high intellect would have found other ways to get a job. Unless she is a statistical anomaly people in her situation would have similar experiences. I see no evidence that she was particularly unlucky, and even if she was ― bad things happen to people all the time.

The central point I was trying to make was that hard work pays off, if you are smart enough.

For example, Jeff Dean currently heads Google Brain despite having not having a PhD in machine learning (his PhD was on whole program optimization of object oriented languages). Or John Carmack starting Armadillo Aerospace would be another example.

I expect to be downvoted again, but I stand by what I said.
I know this is slightly off topic, but this just happened to me recently. I wanted to make a stupid website that let you make those Ajit Pai memes where he was eating popcorn in front of a green screen.

I managed to get the basics working in less than a day somewhere during mid december, but only ended up publishing it nine days ago. The meme was totally dead and the only actual function of the site was in teaching me to (hopefully) not make this mistake again!

In that time there was no absolutely necessary functionality I had added, it was all just polish, yet I wouldn't let myself make it public without adding it. I don't know how to stop doing this, but I feel like it's becoming a serious problem with anything I do.
Denver's airport was built with ATL scale in mind. It's already the largest airport in the US by land size, nearly twice as large as the next airport on the list, which gives them tons of room to expand without needing to buy up neighboring plots.

The airport already has six runways and the master plan calls for six more. Two of the three existing concourses can be lengthened to add more gates and the plan allows for four more concourses without needing to reconfigure runways. Last year the city approved a plan for 39 new gates.

(In case you've ever wondered why taxiing at DEN takes forever, this is why)
This is probably a simplification. Normally if you use an out-of-network provider, the cost counts against your out-of-network deductible, which is significantly higher than your in-network deductible. So it may well be that his insurance would count this against his out-of-network deductible, which is so high that he would never reach it anyway.
> Source that says copying bits from my own retail game disc to my own hard disk is a crime, please?

That's Nintendo's claim, not mine ;-) You'll have to ask them.

> If I make a copy of a DVD and place it on my shelf beside the original, which laws/copyrights/trademarks have I infringed upon? Redistribution may well be an issue in most jurisdictions, but we weren't talking about that.

In the specific case of DVDs, and in the specific case of my jurisdiction (I live in the US), I think that the argument would be that you circumvented the DRM of the Content Scrambling System, in violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. In other jurisdictions, you'd have no problem. In the UK, for example, my understanding is that there's no restriction against breaking DRM, and that creating a copy of a copyrighted work for personal use is perfectly legal.

I suppose things have changed a lot since I was a 911 dispatcher 20 some odd years ago (man, where do the years go????). Back then cell-phones were still just short of ubiquitous and we had, at the time, no ability to even receive SMS messages in our PSAP. The idea of using SMS for that didn't even occur to me.

I believe the SMS facility is actually built on top of SS7 anyway though, so that actually makes sense. And it wouldn't mean exposing anything new up to the phone level. Not sure what the state of security is though. How hard is it to spoof an SMS message?
The initial cost for unit 1 can be quite expensive (>500k) if its a non-consumer product.

Outsourcing production is hard with lower volume products that require modifications to meet customer needs (eg: they need M6 screws holes instead of 1/4-20 or want it in a particular metal). Contract manufacturers are generally interested in making 10k+ of the same item, not 100.

And where i live in Texas (not a small city by far), I pay $90 for 200/20 (with my own modem) from spectrum (was TWC). The big change with spectrum has been removal of any tiers above 100/10. The 300/20 tier introduced about 5 years ago apparently still exists but you have to call and request it and there is something like a $200 connection charge, and it goes for about $110 a month.

About half way across the city there is some competition, and you can get Gigabit from a couple different providers (for about $100), but the service is really isolated to a few neighborhoods and even companies like AT&T won't even tell you which neighborhoods have the service if you happen to be looking for a house/apartment.

What is silly, is that there are a bunch of fiber providers in texas covering the little towns. For example hill country telephone coop https://www.hctc.net/resources/ (which actually has service maps) has a symetric gigabit plan for $200 in a bunch of towns with populations less than 10k..
