> essentially a Russian asset

This is a bit of a stretch in my opinion. Obviously a platform like Wikileaks can be "weaponized" by any party against another party.

I think it's a question of what is the most relevant aspect of the leak overall, not who leaked it or why. For instance, suppose someone had leaked detailed information about the misconduct of Jerry Sandusky several years before it became widely known. Would it matter if the leaker had been affiliated with a rival football program?

What I think is so ingenious about Wikileaks is that by releasing the full documents and data sets, it is very easy to take the leaked information simply at face value without worrying about what may have been selectively leaked and why.

In the case of the HRC emails, there were a few concerning themes regarding campaign finance and the Foundation, but those items could easily have been diffused if HRC had owned up to it and offered to have various experts dig deeper into the financials to show that nothing unusual was going on. For some reason the campaign chose a strategy of claiming the emails were fake, which was soon revealed as a lie by the DKIM/DomainKeys signatures on the emails themselves.

So unfortunately in the case of the HRC emails, the campaign chose a bad strategy and then got caught in a lie, all of which was much more consequential than the few bits of information that were potentially worthy of a deeper dive.

Also, one has to believe that WL would not have published damning information about Trump if it had been available. There is no evidence to support that claim either.

My take all along has been that all that is required for WL to be a force of good is for there to be no selective releasing or editorially driven redaction, and for there to be no evidence that WL sat on important information to suppress it. Neither of these have been the case.

WL did maximize the PR value of the HRC/Podesta emails, but I view that as being (especially in hindsight) more of a fundraising/bootstrapping decision than an editorial one. There wasn't anything "smoking gun"-like in the latter emails, they were all apparently released at random to much fanfare.

So anyway, I think the point is in the laundry itself, and that intent matters much less than it would with more narrowly focused leaks, such as those that traditional journalists typically use/abuse.
In any industry that involves insurance companies predominantly paying bills, will eventually lead to out of control costs (health, auto collision repair etc)

Higher the costs, more incentive (or mandatory) for users to buy insurance and also more profits to insurance companies.

I took a look at registering for arXiv, and since I am not currently affiliated with a University it seems like I wasn't able to proceed. And then there is the question of whether it is beneficial for me, like you said.

No, that's not at all what that person was doing. They acknowledged the war crimes and then also said he's a criminal that should be dealt with. It would've been whataboutism if he had said that the war crimes don't matter because of XYZ.
> But where is the money going? I don't know many poor doctors, but most of the ones I do know are not exactly rolling in cash.

The average debt is reportedly $190k for medical school graduates.

> The country should follow N.Y.U.’s lead in recognizing the damage wrought by crushing student debt. Making higher education free for all should not just be a pipe dream.

I don't know how I feel about this. I for one expect people who make over five times our target minimum wage[1] to contribute more through income taxes than they do now. While I agree people at higher levels should progressively pay dramatically more in taxes, if I were to run for political office today, I'd run on the platform of increased (federal) individual income tax for all and an eventual end to all tax credits, deductions, and any such incentives.

How will these high earners pay my demands for a higher income tax if they have trouble paying their loans? I understand that take home pay per month with $180k salary is about $9k per month[2]. Let us say your student loan payment is about $2k[3]. Let us say that your medical insurance and other career related expenses are about $1k. This still leaves you with about $6k per month. Assuming you save half your income (which I hope you do at this income level), you have about $3k a month to spend on rent, groceries, and transit. Assuming you don't have any children and don't have any plans to have any children, this is not a bad spot to be in. Sure, one is not wealthy or financially independent until you are like 65 if you started working at 30, but if one wanted to make money, why is one in the medical field? In my opinion, it is kind of absurd to get into medicine and expect to become wealthy.

[1] Target minimum wage of $15 an hour at two thousand hours a year is $30,000. Five times $30,000 is $150,000.

Isn't a big portion going into paying back med school loans? If so then you're also subsidizing the private education sector, another example of market failure.

This occurs in auto repair as well (though maybe less than it used to). Those repairs, in my opinion, have been quite stressful as well. Are there other industries where we bill afterward?
Are you sure it's because of your marriage and not because you suddenly got a lot of free time?
The higher data rates come from the fact that there is a lot more spectrum available in the v band. From what I remember there is about 4 to 5 gigahertz usable there. Ka-band has about 2-3GHz, and Ku about 1. as you mentioned, attenuation is one of the factors why you wouldn't use v band. Another reason is that it uses quite a bit more power, and the RF electronics are much more expensive and rare.

The fact that the never-paid price ever reaches the patient in the form of a bill is the problem.

This isn't for lack of pricing data. Hospitals know what they've paid for procedures previously. Every patient and procedure is different but it's rarely very different.

If a hospital has to bill a patient without insurance, what they charge should be pegged to a historical average for the baseline procedure.

Forcing us to negotiate puts undue burden on the patient. It's bad enough I have to occasionally call to keep my prices the same for cable and phone services.

Klapaucius witnessed the first trial run of Trurl's poetry machine, the Elecronic Bard. Here are the some of the wonderful poems it instantly composed to Klapaucius's specifications:

A love poem, lyrical, pastoral, and expressed in the language of pure mathematics. Tensor algebra mainly, with a little topology and higher calculus, if need be. But with feeling, you understand, and in the cybernetic spirit.

Come, let us hasten to a higher plane,
Where dyads tread the fairy fields of Venn,
Their indices bedecked from one to n,
Commingled in an endless Markov chain!
Come, every frustum longs to be a cone,
And every vector dreams of matrices.
Hark to the gentle gradient of the breeze:
It whispers of a more ergodic zone.

In Riemann, Hilbert or in Banach space
Let superscripts and subscripts go their ways.
Our asymptotes no longer out of phase,
We shall encounter, counting, face to face.

I'll grant thee random access to my heart,
Thou'lt tell me all the constants of thy love;
And so we two shall all love's lemmas prove,
And in our bound partition never part.

For what did Cauchy know, or Christoffel,
Or Fourier, or any Boole or Euler,
Wielding their compasses, their pens and rulers,
Of thy supernal sinusoidal spell?

Cancel me not -- for what then shall remain?
Abscissas, some mantissas, modules, modes,
A root or two, a torus and a node:
The inverse of my verse, a null domain.

Ellipse of bliss, converse, O lips divine!
The product of our scalars is defined!
Cyberiad draws nigh, and the skew mind
cuts capers like a happy haversine.

I see the eigenvalue in thine eye,
I hear the tender tensor in thy sigh.
Bernoulli would have been content to die,
Had he but known such a squared cosine 2 phi!

The Pi boards actually replaced ESP32 boards running ESP-IDF firmware I wrote, I probably have 15+ of them at this point and still plan to use them for other things.

The ESP32s were routinely dropping from WiFi (some being crashes, some just disassociating and never connecting again). ESP-IDF has had quite a few WiFi fixes, but it's difficult to guarantee that your own code isn't directly causing the problem (which you get for free running in userland on Linux), and dealing with it was becoming a huge time sink.

Most of the Pi Zero W boards I have were $5 at Microcenter, the MicroSD adds to the cost a little but they're extremely reliable as a result, and my own code is no longer running in the same address space with the scheduler and WiFi driver under extremely tight memory constraints :)

I think he is too dumb to realize he was used as a Russian asset. The attention whoring he is known for blinded him.

While dumb, I don't think he has specifically kept secrets about Trump. His actions show a definite agenda. Act two, he just doesn't realize that it is someone else's agenda.
"One from the hospital, one from a surgeon, one from the OBGYN, and one from an anesthesiologist. We only met one pediatrician during our stay, but we received a bill from every pediatrician that did a rotation while we were there, so that added four more. One because a nurse working was an independent contractor, and one from the wet nurse who we talked to for like 5 minutes."

This is it. This is the US medical scam crystallized. What you need to focus on as a US patient is the "Out-of-pocket maximum/limit." (a number) - which is the yearly maximum you pay as an insured person. Basically, once you enter into an ER you are going PAY this this number. This number is reset every January 1st. So If you have a child January 2nd -- you are in GOOD* shape -- since you will hit your yearly max ("Out-of-pocket maximum/limit.") early in the year -- all other medical is free.

My friends that had a child December 30th, are in bad shape. They pay for yearly "Out-of-pocket maximum/limit" two times: one for the current year and one for the next year.
I am always amazed at how little of the total bill insurance pays for normal visits. By the time you include copays, coinsurance, and the insurer's negotiated rates, nearly half of what the doctor gets paid is paid by me.
Mexico is the same way, they won’t extradite if the country is seeking for the death penalty. I wonder if there was a negotiation around that with El Chapo
Agreed. Just got contacted by collections about unpaid services. Contacted the doctor's office about this and they said our insurance denied the claim and they couldn't get in touch with us to resolve the matter. Turns out they were submitting to our old health insurance company, and using our old home address. We were also at this office about 3-4 times before and 3-4 times after the procedure that went to collections.

Tangentially, we've started to notice that doctor offices will often claim that procedures aren't covered and we have to pay out of pocket. However, we keep track of these out of pocket expenses since we're close to hitting out of pocket maxes. Turns out most of the time, the doctor's offices will still submit the claim to our health insurance company even though we paid, effectively double dipping.

Also, the amount of time spent following up with doctors, payments, procedures, claims, etc is mind boggling. At least 4-8 hrs a week. Getting an answer about what is and isn't covered also seems to be some kind of black art.

I remember a quote, I think it was from Asimov, that really enlightened me. He explains that before Newton's law of gravity, we had ways to calculate orbits and planets positions. It involved complex abacus but a model existed. The fact that he worked so hard, trying to find a simpler model was, according to Asimov, an essential act of faith in "the intelligibility of the universe". He argued that this was a principle of faith held by many fundamental researchers.

> That's understanding a claim, thinking about it, and issuing compassionate criticism. Whether you think it's correct or not is up to you, but it certainly isn't a failure to listen.

So is it listening or criticising? I'm not even making an argument that the claims either way are wrong or right but when people say listen these days, it's usually implied that you aren't supposed to turn around and criticise them, thats at best giving constructive feedback.

I'm just pointing out how men are being told to speak up, but often when they speak up they are spoken down to by the current culture for holding "wrong" views. Considering we are talking about people committing suicide it seems like this isn't exactly helping the situation.

These are great specs indeed. I just wish it wasn't so expensive, since it does take it from "something I can use" to "something I'll put in a gilded cage and only use when that very demanding problem arrives", which is never.
Where is the suggestion that Wikileaks knew what the source was and coordinated anyway? The indictments suggests that the source was Russian, nothing points to knowing coordination.

I think it's worth distinguishing a few cases here:

1. Reimplementing an existing cryptographic primitive, such as SHA-256.

2. Inventing a new cryptographic primitive, with a reduction to existing cryptographic assumptions, and implementing it. A recent example is SPHINCS-256, which was proven secure in the random oracle model.

3. Postulating a new cryptographic hardness assumption, inventing a new cryptographic primitive based on it, and implementing it. Recent examples are IOTA's Curl hash function and StarkWare's Jarvis cipher.

#1 is risky, but at least the risk can be mitigated by having qualified peers review the implementation. #2 is riskier, but still, it can be mitigated by having qualified peers review the proof. #3 seems far more dangerous, since it involves conjecture.

What the Tupelo team is doing is like #2 -- risky, yes, but not comparable to #3.
