Everything you state about doctors applies to PAs as well. Like most states, California has a PA board [0] and patients can complain to the board. Sure, a doctor has more responsibilities, but a PA is also a medical professional.

I don't think that necessarily works out, because uninformed is the default. It takes a considerable amount of effort to become informed, at least to a point where you can properly articulate the pros and cons of each "side".

I'm not going to make assumptions about how the majority of people become informed, but from personal experience talking to friends, and friends of friends on facebook, I see people relying on heuristics such as who is funding which side more than putting forth an effort to read studies.

How different is this from the policies of most auto factories? They are all incentivised to minimize the number of reported injuries.
This is exactly why I think offsets are a better short-term solution. Don't travel is too big of an ask even for the "eco aware". Would they pay an extra 17 cents to offset their driving that day or $3 for a flight across the US? It is shockingly cheap and much easier to say yes to that change. It isn't as direct as just not traveling in the first place, but will get much more adoption.

I'm working on an app to make a personal travel offset pledge and track your impact publicly. If anyone is interested in keeping in the loop on progress: https://www.producthunt.com/upcoming/pledge-balance

Anna is a physician assistant, she can literally do almost anything a doctor can do(prescribe drugs, diagnosis etc) and has almost as much training as a doctor.
Funny how this thread is debating whether a crushed hand or severed fingers justifies an ambulance or ride share.

It is illegal for “ride shares” to provide medical transport. The fact that an on-site physician would not call medical transport and put patients with crush hands/severed fingers in a ride share is per se illegal.

Next we will hear the “SV disruption cult” begin making their claim that those regulations only exist because the EMT lobby industry is spending billions for legislation to protect the market incumbent. Well don’t forget your extra $150 Uber cleaning fee for bleeding all over your drivers car.

If you want to vote in the Democratic primary in Indiana, and your family are born-again Trump Republicans who would be happy to ostracize for being a registered Democrat, you're having exactly the same problem.

There's little difference in my mind between saying "if you don't want everybody you know or do business with to know you're a Democrat, you shouldn't vote in the primaries" and "if you don't want everyone knowing you voted for Obama, you shouldn't vote!"

It's wild that so many people here think that e.g. major cloud vendors use the same purchasing logic for multi-hundred-million dollar deals on tens/hundreds of thousands of units, that a 17 year old uses when deciding how to spend $700 on a new computer. "They're scared", "Zen is a superior product", "EPYC/Rome will blow them away", etc. It doesn't actually matter.

Not only do many customers not pay the list price you see, they get custom SKUs specifically designed for them -- which is a growing portion of their Xeon business and one AMD has no clear, large-scale answer to AFAICS. And they basically can't get enough of them. Xeons practically print money and Intel recently announced something like 16% revenue increases and even higher demands for Xeon than they've ever had. They just invested an extra billion in new fab production just because they're at capacity right now...

Intel is going to remain very strong in this market for a good, long time as far as I can tell, and things like list SKU prices are an incredibly, ridiculously small reason to believe otherwise.

That said I'm very happy with the price/power ratio of my TR 1950X.

Similar stuff happens on Haskell too. I guess that since the type system is an unityped logic programming language, it is an even worse place than C++ templates. It is a smaller problem on practice only because the type declarations are much shorter programs than C++ templates.

After having this problem in GNU "high priority" list for a decade, it's nice to see this thing exist. My comment was more about the initial "make it happen" part. To me, `rr` seems like a really non trivial project to get going in the first place. Not a lot of orgs would have taken a risk with this.
Well highlighted. In the Change of direction scenario, there is a corner case that stewards dont usually punish. And done by Verstappen. When he is being chased by another driver, near a turn, he sells a dummy. Pretending to go one way (slight change) and then suddenly goes another catching the chasing driver off guard and unable to pass having to break suddenly. I dont know why this isnt illegal, cos it has caused several accidents over the years, predictably

Bar tabs (in addition to tipping culture) are less common outside of NA. It is however quite common to leave the change from say a £5 note for a £4 beer. This is purely down to the convince (no need to wait for your change) and frictionless nature (the bartender already had your tip) of the transaction.

Usually the "ruling class" does not actually think of itself as the "ruling class". And even those that do consider their success correlated with that of the society they life in.

Just about nobody gets far in capitalism subscribing to the the sort of zero-sum theory you allude to[1]. And even if: it'd be idiotic for them to base their decisions on such a theory, considering the "ruling class" tends to be rather old, while social mobility only has effects over several generations.

If you require empirical proof, look no further than the super-rich' historically preferred mode of philanthropy: the scholarship.

Scholarships are pure social mobility: take promising young people with limited means and allow them to attend elite schools. Surely the Rhodes Scholarship, Gates Scholarship, Schwarzman Scholarship, New York Times Scholarship, or any of the thousands of these programs would not exist in the cynical world you describe.

[1]: I had a quip about current presidents being the exception here. But as it turns out, the Miss America Scholarship is among the largest in the US.
You're right. I conflated argumentum ad consequentiam and affirming the consequent. If X works, then I should believe X is true is not the same thing as if I don't believe in X then X won't work. I rushed my response to you because I was between meetings.

But my core argument here is that we have no starting point. If you want to call them axioms that's fine, but I'm not here to quibble about language. Even if we had no experience of senses and minds leading to erroneous perceptions and thoughts, we would still have no way to prove that our minds are reliable. At best we would have smaller priors. But quite the opposite, we routinely encounter evidence of erroneous perceptions and thoughts. In dreams, lunatics shouting on the street, or our seemingly invisible optic nerve.

The problem with saying:

> Faith is when one acts on a belief without having any rational reason for it. My rational reason for believing in science is simply: it works!

Is first defining faith incorrectly[0] and then second by appealing to its outcome as a measure for its justification. Theologians manipulate their mental state with their own methods. When they say they encounter manifestations of the divine and say they have a rational reason for their religious beliefs by saying "it works!" they're doing the same thing.

Only by humbly admitting that our starting point requires some first acceptance can we then make progress. If you want to take it as an axiom that your mind is reliable, that's fine for you, but it isn't something that's necessarily true. I love Russell, but when he tries to break out of this by calling solipsism a self-refuting idea he's being intellectually dishonest. He was more honest when he was younger and he said solipsism is boring. And there[1] we fully agree.

[0] Faith is about mental state, not action. From Google dictionary: "Complete trust or confidence in someone or something."

Interestingly enough, most people continue to work despite the fact that a simple mishap or bout with illness for themselves or a loved one can (and does) wipe out everything they've earned working.

It's been ~10 years since I looked at the numbers, but I remember it being something like 30% of bankruptcy filings are due to medical issues and associated costs.

Maybe systemetizing it a priori would have a different impact on people's perception about the mechanism though?
I don't think that really changed the implication. Regardless of whether he's speaking specifically about the Mac Mini, about Apple products in general, or about the entire industry; he's still saying that it's bucking the trend of "being a series of compromises and disappointments sold as innovation" and that almost everything is genuinely an improvement.

Why would you want to force your desires upon a consumer of your software?
But Intel won't even give that to you. The i3-8100 doesn't have turbo boost, which means it's stuck at 3.6GHz and typically doesn't have faster single thread performance than AMD's faster chips. If you want Intel to sell you the one that hits 5GHz you have to pay for more cores which, if all you care about is single thread performance, you can't even use.
I wonder if the placement of data centres has much to do with it?

There's a bunch being built or in the pipeline at least in Denmark.
I've personally read the literacy tests designed to disenfranchise black voters. I don't think I could've passed it myself. So I think there's a pretty great historical precedent against the ideas of tests.

On the other hand, allowing "uninformed" people an equal voice in the decision making process as someone who has spent hours studying the positions and issues also seems wrong.

An interesting idea I had would be weighing votes based on a short test, and using the test to multiply a vote. Giving "informed" voters a greater voice. How you build the test fairly though, is the tough part.
The point is: there are a ton of people in that area. In the abstract, putting two offices within 250 miles of each other seems silly, but given that it's the densest part of the United States, there's enough population to justify two major offices. Drawing a circle around DC is just a vivid way of illustrating that. It's not totally abstract either: while many people in tech move across the country to the Bay Area, moving a few hours for a job is much more common (you can still drive home to visit relatives, etc).

As far as the actual numbers, thanks: your source is better than mine. I think you need to extend it to 250 miles to get Queens and DC in the same circle, at which point it's 18%. I still believe that there's no other area with nearly that density in the US (circles centered on Dallas, Chicago, San Francisco, LA or anywhere in Florida are at least 20 million fewer people).
It's a simple quantitative question:

How many candidates are already in or willing to relocate to NYC versus Houston.

That's all Amazon really cares about: the absolute numbers.

They're looking to hire tens of thousands of engineers and that's pretty much the only reason they're going through with this huge investment in new campuses.

Regardless of my personal preference, I think it's pretty obvious that the numbers work in NYC's favor.
No, that quote is not out of context at all. The expectation that Apple would in some way ruin the Mac Mini in the next update is the topic of several of the first paragraphs in the article. The gist is indeed "It hasn't gotten worse! Yayy!"

Granted, that's not all of it. He is celebrating that it's gotten better, but he is also specifically celebrating that it hasn't lost many advantages.
There isn't a "world of 5k displays" unfortunately, only Apple's high-end all-in-ones offer this option.

In the eighth grade (1966), our teacher gave a talk about what we were to do if the air raid sirens went off. He said we would all be taken to the basement of the building and the doors to the outside would be locked. "Even if your mother and father are outside trying to get in, we won't let them in", he said.

I remember that to this day.
>Well, the paper[0] spends ~98% of the time not claiming that.

Still it does say that, and the actual 2% remaining and actually stating the possibilty of it being an alien ship of some kind is essentially coming from the "set of educated and random guesses" (it is difficult to call them anything else, though officially it is called "Observations") published on Scientific American blogs (and cited as if they were a scientific paper):

So if we think about the situation holistically, there's an important interaction between those two ideas, in that the boss is less likely to prod you to vote if they're in a different party.

Okay so that makes the second option generally less awkward than if the two events were uncorrelated.

...sorry, I still need more help to understand how you holistically used the word 'worst'.
Of course this is but an anecdote from my point of view based on the workplaces that I experienced.

What I've lived through a lot of time is teams of senior programmers led by junior managers. Sometimes they are fresh out of school and have never led any team. Heck, sometimes senior programmers turn into code monkeys because they are hired as nothing more than glorified trophies. IT teams having to answer directly to sales department managers, etc.

Teams of juniors or intermediates are way more likely to make mistakes such as the one you describe. I've seen my share and I do agree that they exist. People migrating entire projects to the language-du-jour and creating a bad situation for everyone because they didn't master that language and ended up refactoring stable solutions into shaky messes.

In a perfect world, we would have a team of strong senior programmers leading a few juniors under a strong management team.

You're not seriously saying that it's illegal to publicly endorse voting for a particular candidate?

It is usually illegal to show proof of who you voted for, and absolutely should be, everywhere. People have to take your word for it. The ability to provide evidence of who you voted for creates the ability for others to demand evidence of who you voted for.
Right. The important thing about the Clay Mathematics Millenium Prize is that it is a set of well-chosen SMART-ish goals. They want to incentivize work on really hard fields of mathematics but they have tried to do this by choosing results that are each not too intimidating. The Navier-Stokes prize, for example, allows you to assume all of the nicest features of Navier-Stokes problems in practice -- basically all of the fluid flows are well below supersonic and are occurring in highly homogeneous, nice fluids -- and ask the most basic mathematical question: does a smooth solution to these equations always exist? That question by itself is not so important, but it's specific and measurable. But it's a bit of a "reach" -- you would have to have some cutting insight about turbulence in order to answer this question one way or the other. That cutting insight is what they're trying to incentivize.

P vs NP is the same: if solutions to a problem are easy to check, is there always some better way to analyze the mechanics of the checker to make those solutions easy to find, so that we aren't stuck with brute-forcing it? Whether the answer goes one way or the other, the point is that solving the problem would have to provide some insight to the effect of "here is a periodic table of elements for all of the 'easy' algorithms -- and here are the properties of all the 'molecules' made by combining those building blocks." And only once someone advances our understanding with those cutting insights can we say "yes we can always reach into the verification mechanism to understand it well enough to build a better-than-brute-force algorithm" or "no, here is such a thing that algorithms cannot do, it's not just that I am not smart enough to find a way for them to do this -- they are fundamentally incapable of doing it faster."
Yes they're an obvious one. I was surprised though that Luxembourg wasn't listed whist Sweden and Denmark are.

The Mac user consensus seems to be that the panel is great, but everything around it is flakey (at least compared to previous Apple displays) - plugging and unplugging doesn't work 100% of the time, stuff like OS integration of brightness and volume keys isn't seamless etc. Looking at user ratings it seems like reliability isn't great either but that could be skewed.
Most people have two hands, and in a pinch can buckle themselves with either. Anyway, the driver or a coworker/onsite medical staff can buckle them in as well.

If the person loses conciousness on the way to the hospital, the driver can either call 911 on the way and arrange a transfer to the ambulance or just pull up to the emergency room and yell / honk / go in to get help getting the person out. Hopefully the onsite clinic would call ahead so that the ER / urgent care knows what to expect.

If the patient is in fairly stable condition, and it's quicker to get them to the hospital with a taxi than an ambulance (because of ambulance priorities), it seems prudent to take a taxi.

I see further in the thread that an ambulance was denied for a back injury, which seems less prudent.
