> A pelvic ultrasound typically is covered by health insurance when ordered by a doctor for diagnosis of a problem. For patients covered by health insurance, out-of-pocket costs typically consist of a copay of $10-$50 or more, or coinsurance of 10%-50% or more.

> For patients not covered by health insurance, the cost of a pelvic ultrasound typically varies by provider and geographic region. The typical cost range is $250-$1,100, with a national average cost of $525, according to NewChoiceHealth.com[1] . For example, Concierge Medicine[2] in California charges $275 for a pelvic ultrasound

Sure, marginal businesses will be a problem. But it's no reason for large corporations not to pay their employees, and for the taxpayers to bare the cost.

Higher minimal wages and tax credits for small businesses seems healthier.
"The correct approach is to develop as much high end housing as possible which pushes all other houses down the depth chart. We want the poor living in houses that the rich used to own - not shittier houses."

This entire statement just blows my mind.

Getting people to build enough expensive homes for rich people seems to be an already solved problems. People already build homes as expensive as the market will bear and and the rich buy not one but 2 of them or even more and rent them out to others less rich than themselves. The only way to get people to build a glut such as to devalue their own product would be to provide tax incentives or kickbacks effectively funding rich peoples houses with tax money from the middle class.

Supposing you decided to do this building a glut of "top end" housing enough to move the needle as far as price would be an insanely expensive endeavor. Millions of dollars per unit.

There are 74 million single family homes in the US building out 10% more all at the top end at 2 million per would cost 148 trillion dollars. This is actually more than the 25 trillion it would cost just to give every household their own free 200k house.

Building 1% of the present housing supply would only cost a laughable 14.8 trillion and would barely move anyone up much beyond making it easier for the upper middle class to move from nice house to awesome.

The truly funny thing is that no matter how much top end housing we build the poor would never live in the houses the wealthy used to live in because we would literally let it rot to the ground before the rich would sell it to them for anything like they could afford not because they have a several hundred dollar a day drug addition but because they don't have enough wealth to pay for what it actually costs to build and maintain a nice large rich persons house.

Ultimately if we want there to be a bigger supply of affordable housing then we will build more for 100-200k not mansions for 2-5million because poor people can afford the first and you can build 10-50 of one for the cost of the other. It's simple math.

As a final note if we charitably say several hundred is 3-400 a several hundred dollar a day drug habit is between 109k and 146k per year.

The only people that have several hundred dollar a day drug habits for very long are drug lords and CEOs that are fueled by cocaine.

That's also a single aggregated number. Until the data doesn't cover those millions dire situation, it's a bad data. Emotionless analogy: like a green status page when some percentile of requests is failing.

Video game publishers have been trying consistently to implement a "less for more" attitude when it comes to their products. The whole lootbox trend on a whole was the peak of having their cake and eating it (wanting to "chase whales" like the free to play model but charging full price for the product). The only surprising thing about this is that there hasn't been a lot more push-back a way earlier.
Aside from the callousness of your remarks, you do realize that having 19 bones isn't an absolute, right?

Once there are only 19 dogs left, the number of bones will simply be reduced to (slightly more than) 18, because the prevailing ideology is that there must be 5% unemployment. (This is greatly simplified, of course, but that's the gist of it.)

Eventually you'll stop being lucky. And in any case, it's not always the same dog who gets unlucky. So yes, it is your problem, or at least it will be.

There are evil forces. We need to protect ourselves. We need military. However, it is naive to think that we, as citizens in a democracy, have any say in the wars we engage in. If we have no say, who does? If we have no say, is the one who does accountable to us? If we have no say and the one who does is not accountable to us, then is this a democracy? Too much power in the hands of too few. We sacrifice our hard earned money, our kith and kin... so that a few psychopaths can stroke their egos.
Manual transmissions could offer 2 advantages today:

1) They are most likely cheaper and lighter than automatics. They make more sense in cheap small cars. So if cost is an issue you may opt for this.

2) They could be more fun, depending on the car they're on. There are people who genuinely enjoy being engaged while taking a drive for fun. The more disconnected you get and the more stuff is done for you, the more it feels like you're a passenger instead of the driver. It's not just about getting better mileage, or better acceleration. The manual can be part of the fun.

For almost all other purposes an automatic transmission is the comfortable, efficient choice.

This being said, automatic transmissions can still be infuriating in some corner cases where they just can't pick the right gear. As long as there's a way to shift manually that shouldn't be a problem.
I agree, thinking is for sure a male activity.
Not my field of expertise but on page 15 they claim " In our reconstruction analysis, we used a pre-trained DGN which was provided by Dosovitskiy & Brox"
So if the deep dream generator is not trained on their actual (limited) training data but instead on a massive dataset of 'all photos that are real", I would say the study is valid.
Then maybe you should move into the woods and see how many resources you can acquire for yourself without the help of others.
I taught my daughter using a car that had no power steering. But it was a Nissan Micra, so it was still physically possible for her to turn the steering wheel while the car was parked...
Now What?
The US doesn't care if you took the test using a manual or automatic, so that restriction wouldn't be recognized. You'd get a ticket (or whatever the appropriate action is for the offense) for whatever reason the cop pulled you over.
its down to duty cycle. That figure is the average consumption. I can make most chipsets consume 20uA, its trivial, just don't take them out of hibernation.

LTE-M is a high(well couple of kilobytes per second) bandwidth, full duplex, high duty cycle transport layer. Not only that, its relatively long distance (well kinda)

Bluetooth is short range < 30m, and at high bandwidth shorter range. yes it can be full duplex, but not at low power (I've not validated that claim though) The BLE beacons don't emit a location every 4 seconds, they also don't have a GPS on all the time eating 35mah.

Lora has a maximum duty cycle of something like 5% (ie it has to be not transmitting 95% of the time) not only that, its not designed for realtime two way communications, It's niche is a sensor reporting the state of a sensor every n minutes.
There was a time (or at least so I'm told) when having a job meant you could build a living, own a house, support a family. So we the started looking at employment percentages as a measure for the quality of the economy.

This incentivizes increasing employment percentage. An easy way to do that is by decreasing the value of a job. Suddenly it doesn't ensure you can build a living, own a home, support a family anymore. But it is still used as a primary measure of the wellbeing of the economy.

This is why you need individual stories to interrogate the quality of your data. Afterwards, you obviously need to come up with new measures that more accurately reflect how well the economy is working for the people in it. But the interrogation will have to work on the basis of anecdotes.
I stopped my subscription to the New Yorker because I got fed up with exactly this. Although, as others here have commented, it may more emotionally resonant to hear one person's story, it also reinforces a very American view of history that all changes good and bad are forged by individuals, not by motivated groups of people or larger stochastic events / underlying structural changes.

Repeated enough, it can create a narrative that the wider groups don't matter as long as you support the few exceptionals. This seems to play out across all sides of US society both in justice (think "headline" prosecution of corrupt individuals in finance etc) and in social welfare. This is not to say that exceptional individuals do not have a disproportionate role in society. They unquestionably do. However I can't think of any of those individuals who has not been enabled by dozens if not thousands of talented others.

Amazon is nothing like a monopoly.

If you want to sell something online you can do it in any number of places, and you can do it yourself (and fairly painlessly). If you want to buy something online, you can go to any number of retailers. You can get an Echo from Best Buy if you want, and you can get towels delivered from Walmart etc etc.

Ditto cloud computing, of course -- it's an incredibly competitive market.

Amazon does have large market impact and can (in a practical sense) exert market pressure. That's obviously a dangerous position for everyone to be in, but it's far from monopoly and it's also (afaik) well within the bounds of (American) law. As I understand things, US antitrust laws are all about abuse of market position, not just the existence of a dominant position.
Cartamundi in Belgium must have printed billions of cards for collectible card games by now (Magic the Gathering etc.). It would be interesting to see an analysis of why that doesn’t run afoul of the law.

"Nowadays you can get good robotized gearboxes that have almost none of the disadvantages, except for a slightly higher price."

1. These automatic transmissions are still the weak spot on most vechicles.

2. They still use clutch bands that wear. The trannies are anything but simple. Most mechanics farm out rebuilding a tranny. I would recon that a malfunctioning automatic transmission us the number one cause of junked vechicles, besides wrecked vechicles.

3. It's straight forward weekend job to replace a clutch.

4. We all know modern engines can put close to 300,000 miles on them. Manufacturers know it. There's a reason they only give 70-100k on the tranny.

5. A modern automatic transmission is not a simple fix. Even AMCO guys are learning on your dime (notice they won't just give a price for a complete rebuild over the phone? AMCO in San Rafael, CA. Yea, I remember you slick.)

6. When checking a used vechicle, check that tranny fluid. It should be pink as a baby's butt. (Even then--there's no guarantee. The seller could have just changed the fluid. It shouldn't be black, brown, or smell burnt.

7. Sorry about my tirate on automatic transmissions. I've been to Automotive school, and worked as a mechanic for two years. The Automatic Transmission always intimided me.

If anyone could come up with clutch bands that don't wear, well let's say, you could dine with the 1 percenters? Tyat that be hell though?
All data is always incomplete. And we can only find this out by looking at the individual case to interrogate the data.

I guess I'll contradict myself with the anecdote (I recognize this is totally not representative). I've heard a lot of stories about how "they do this and that, somewhere" based on a news about some single case. Some make sense, but also lots of variants of vaccines and autism stories (mostly, regarding modern politics, so I don't want to describe anything in particular).

> Look at Venezuela, they tried to solve their poverty problem very simply by basically giving people food and shelter without fixing the fundamental problem of lack of knowledge and the other problems that cause poverty and now they are in worst trouble than ever

I’m sorry I can’t give you a better answer being on my phone.

But, Venezuela’s current crisis has about as little to do with commoners working as you could find in a modern-day country. As a small example, how would the arrival of a new president fit into your (kind of derogatory) theory? What evidence do you have for your assertion?
> It baffling that people claim that the web requires ads and trackers to survive when [obviously it can]

It's a question of the content you put in the word "web". As a corrolary: I believe that "TV" would not exist without advertising.

I know that electomagnetic radiation, signal processing, and ray tubes are wholly orthogonal to Kelloggs selling cereal. But the modern television media landscape and its dedication to Brave New World style audience-capture is unfathomable without people splashing money at it to sell things.

So what is "the web"? Telnet, TCP, and HTTP? We don't need your stinking banners! We have oodles of excess server bandwidth and our websites are rarely more than 10K (of gorgeous hand-crafted fully-accessible HTML, natch).

But is "the web" your advertiser-supported newspaper? Your advertiser-supported searches? Your advertiser-supported social media news feed? Your advertiser-supported free phone app? Your advertiser-supported image host? Those things are, so far, only sustainably available through advertising.

Crack the micro-currency and micro-valuation code for everyone online and maybe that "web" can live without ads... we're not there yet though :)
In US constitution, the 13th amendment leaves out only prisoners from salvery clause. It was bit shocking because US constitution essentially says that government can use prisoners jus like slaves!

I feel our current system of punishments and prisoners is very barberic. In my experience, people change dramatically in beliefs and who the are every 7-10 years. So having a prison term longer than that is essentially same as transferring sentence to quite different person. Also things like solitary confinements are beyond bewildering. I hope future prisons are essentially closed large spaces where prisoners make their own sustainable living. Prison shouldn’t be about enslaving a person but rather isolating him/her from society for safety of others all the while retraining them to be part of society again after no more than 7-10 years.

You seem to overlook a wide range of resources - trust, admiration and friendship of others are also resources. So is a society in which people don't let each other live in poverty. The willingness of others to work with you is a resource, which you acknowledge by using a throwaway.

You don't 'give away' resources, they are transformed into other resources. Would you give up the ability to own seven cars for the knowledge that you'll never live under a bridge, no matter what? Many people would.

Georgia says switching back to all-paper voting is logistically impossible
My whole point: things rarely "suddenly crash" but you still have to keep an open eye and connect the dots and take action or at least advise your kids and help them take action. I totally agree that there is a lot of cultural and career inertia (I have a similar story like you but in different context and part of the world).
It's impossible to write bug free code. All these tools we have do is mitigate the number and severity of bugs around. If the remaining ones are weird edge cases that don't affect many people then that's a net win for everyone else. But we shouldn't assume that even "gold standards" are bug free

> Or simply admit we are human, fallible, and try to do the best we can while knowing our limits? Sounds defeatist.

Not all bugs are manmade (though obviously the vast majority are). But to give examples of other types of bugs: there could be bugs created by compiler optimisations or bugs due to esoteric hardware. Or even features that was intended behaviour but the landscape has since shifted in ways the developers were not aware (I guess you could argue that last point is manmade bit it's arguably not the failure of the developer).
They aren't blind spots, they're outliers. If a change to medicare makes 99% of users significantly better off and 1% significantly worse, then it's a net good change. The useful reporting tells both sides, but simply telling the sobstory of one person really negatively impacted is worthless.
It might be if you could see the number of votes from the front page. I use the number of comments as an indicator if something is worth looking at.

Is it already the case that a specification good enough to prove a program is bug free is smaller/less complex than the program itself. Because if it is not, then I'd assume the risk of failure in the specification just becomes bigger than in the program itself... So you'd need another tool to prove that the spec is correct...
That's usually because the stories with "vaccines cause autism" don't bother with the statistics. This story does and discusses a real trend.
