That regulation favors hospital groups and reinforces their monopolies. Independent physicians who can't deal with the regulations sell out to big hospital groups, who then, enabled by their greater control of physician supply, squeeze insurance companies, who then in turn must squeeze the remaining independent physicians who can't fight back, who then give up and sell to hospitals

I think in some ways the ACA empowered monopolies by enabling them to further consolidate physician supply in the guise of integrating data for "population health"

Ask HN: Are Udacity's Nanodegrees worth the monetary cost and effort?
I graduated from a post-baccalaureate CS program (BS-granting) ~1 year ago and have since been working as a full-stack .NET dev for a small-medium sized company. I'm starting to think about next steps for myself skills and career-wise and am curious as to people's experiences with Udacity's nanodegree offerings. My initial impression is that a sequence that is a bit more nuts-and-bolts in terms of subject matter, like their React program, might be a safer bet in terms of tangible career benefits. That said, if their ML / NLP programs are likely to render one a competitive candidate in any of those fields (which I'm skeptical of), I would be very interested in pursuing one.

They ship 32-bit versions still to support those people. As a former msft engineer it was a huge pain in the ass to have to build the 32-bit version all the time - but customers used and relied on it.
You can split "secret" data structures into another header, and them simply not give that secret header to the customer. If you give the binary and a header with some structures missing, the user can still use whatever you did give them.
Nobody, AFAIK. Even with an explicit "export template", it's basically impossible because of of the interaction of all the features of the C and C++ and CPP parts of the language.
(Precompiled headers are/were are thing, but they're very brittle. Of course, one assumes you already know this, I'm trying to provide additional exposition.)

People started to use templates for metaprogramming and from that point on the scope for "reuse" of templates isn't really there. (Reusing parsing might be plausible, but it's really difficult because parsing is extremely context-sensitive because of SFINAE, #defines, etc.)

Some might comment that "modules" is "export template" all over again, but this time there are actually 2-3 implementations of 2-3 of the proposals and everyone is confident that the remaining minor problems can be resolved satisfactorily... and they're all exchanging experiences to help each other!
At the Federal level it's really Medicare certification that is the stumbling block. Federal certificate of need laws were repealed in the 1980s, shortly after they were first tried.

"primarily as a brand consultant"

The kind of person that would be a brand consultant would be required by the internal sense of price = quality = social status. For example:
"I buy a purse for $200 and I'm like, 'Where am I going to make $500 tomorrow?'"

Personality-bashing aside, looking at the numbers:

$150k annual = $12.5k / month, budget = $4,100 / month, Travel of $15k annually = $1.25k / month. Overall this leaves ~$7k / month ($84k per year) as "everything else" money.

She could easily put away 50% to fund early retirement, but she obviously prioritises differently to you and I :)

She obviously works hard and she does plenty of charity work, so she's almost unquestionably an extrovert and therefore not comfortable 'living the quiet life'. Given the fact she's run the numbers and money is obviously important to her, I'd say she's much more likely to be actively making choices rather than just passively following societal norms.
The market is eating itself. The old adage was that if you wanted your competitor's market share, you had to design a better product. You can now get away with selling a worse product, if your advertising convinces consumers that the previous model is worthless or the competitor's product is poor. The pricing data here supports that negative advertising goes a lot further than positive advertising.

What is the incentive to pay for good product design or innovation if it's more profitable to pay off reviewers and advertisers to lie for you? Why develop a valuable product when you can so easily lie about its actual value? We are moving out of an age of engineering and into an age of advertising and snake oil.
Most populated states have an overage of hospital beds, and anywhere from 40-50% of hospital revenues are from Medicare and 12-16% from Medicaid.

It’s pretty obvious when you visit a hospital, very few younger patients are hospitalized. Private insurance makes it very difficult to remain as an inpatient... even a major surgery like a spinal fusion is a 48 hour stay.

These institutions are mostly unnecessary and only exist because of their political power and government funding. There are exceptions, especially in rural areas and places in the south where the population of old people has boomed.

I didn't say it was illegal slave labor. But it's absolutely slave labor. Under Federal law its defined as "the services of a person... by means of force, threats of force, physical restraint, or threats of physical restraint to that person or another person."[1] Imprisonment is a physical restraint. If you pull the entire statute you'll notice that consent isn't a defense. That's because consent and coercion are mutually exclusive.

The Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery and involuntary servitude except as a punishment for crime.

Make no mistake, those "volunteers" are modern day slaves. They may have the blessing of the Constitution, but they're slaves nonetheless. Colorado actually just officially outlawed it last week.[2] A few other sources:

Its disturbing the amount of people that seem to be unable to distinguish a moral argument from an economic or legal one.

Insurance and public payers have pushed to make more care outpatient or delivered at less intensive facilities.

Occupancy rates have declined even as the number of licensed beds has gone down (with population increasing substantially, so the per capita effect is even bigger):

> There was actually a set of SegaScope 3D Glasses for use in the Sega Master System that could render a stereoscopic effect right on a NTSC-standard television set!

I had this! I'm too young to have played the Master System in its prime, but one day at my dad's office someone put a for sale ad on the bulletin board saying they had a bunch of old game systems and games. I bought the whole lot (a Genesis, NES, Master System, and a whole bunch of games/peripherals for each) for about $80. I was maybe 12 at the time, so a decent chunk of change I'd saved up.

Those goggles were one of the coolest and least practical things ever. The effect was kind of flickery.

I completely agree. If we had to pick one thing to change to lower healthcare costs in the US, this wouldn't be a bad choice. Hospital costs are by far the largest contributor to US healthcare expenditure at 30%, and when you add in physician costs (since they are increasingly owned by hospitals) that's almost 50% of cost

My sort of crazy theory is that there is a behind the scenes lobbying / media battle between pharma, the hospital lobby, and the insurance lobby and that this dictates a lot of the national conversation around healthcare. Because healthcare is so opaque and complex, and because there is so much political energy around healthcare, it is hard for the public to be informed about the facts so they just respond to emotionally driven narratives in the media. Right now pharma is public enemy number one so everyone complains about drug prices even though hospitals are probably just as bad if not worse. Both trade groups spend roughly the same on lobbying although hospitals probably have more "soft" political power bc they are major employers in pretty much every county

The word nice doesn't have as much a moral implication as the word good, which is why I asked.

As for the original sentence, I didn't think it was saying that some people are good/nice because they did it for free. I thought it was saying that some people dit it for free because they are good. That has no implication on whether a person is good based on whether they do it for free. But even if it did, the logic doesn't fall apart if you do an If A Then B analysis. I see no problem with someone doing something for free being a signal that someone is good, especially because I do not say it's an if and only if situation either.
User toddmcleod and channel JustForFunc on YouTube.
You're totally correct. But if you just want to document something for your own future review, screenshots work fine. The thing is, journalism sees itself as being above citations. Journalists are primarily relying on their reputations as journalists, not evidence; the word of a journalist is supposed to be evidence, valid as a citation elsewhere. Journalists don't even record all of their interviews, a lot of them just get jotted down on paper and pieced together later. When they do record interviews, they don't include ways for the public to independently review those recordings to make sure that the written word corresponds 1:1 with what was spoken. You're supposed to trust them, even though we have plenty of examples of journalists who lied or just got sloppy. The profession needs a serious makeover. Historians used to be viewed this way, too. I'm forgetting the details, but there was an historian in the late 1800s who was actually criticised for meticulously citing his sources rather than relying on his reputation as an historian and letting historians of the future decide the merit of his work based on that.

This is exactly the danger. Morally egregious, but extremely effective advertising for the large swaths of uneducated and ill-informed.

This Russian playbook is public knowledge now, and intimately studied for better or worse.
Marketing includes making a product and finding customers through messaging, so nothing is changing.

False advertising has long been against the law but social media and the various "influencer" platforms are mostly unregulated wastelands that dont have proper oversight or standards. It's not like unscrupulous companies weren't able to buy bad word-of-mouth before.

I think Google is the best resource. You want to ensure that he is good at training himself. Google plus CodePen for starters.

So have him come up with a simple project and then have him break that down into sub goals. They have him start googling. Make sure he drills down and searches for more basic information when that is referenced in relation to his specific problem and he doesn't know part of it.

Have him use Google and web resources to teach himself to set goals, decompose problems, search for solutions, and learn fundamental concepts. That involves some coaching in your part.

Online courses should probably be used to supplement and test breadth of knowledge. But primarily it is about giving him time to practice problem solving and self-training.
Richard Wolff in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTth4Rb25H4 does a good job of concisely making the points on just how bad a deal this is for New York and Virginia (which are together funding over half of the costs of this project -- $5.5B versus Amazon's $5B according to the New York Times) -- and all for an estimated 2,500 jobs in New York. Here's what he said:

This is a shocking display. What they are calling a government-private partnership is nothing of the sort. It's a public subsidy to Amazon. The New York Times reported $5 billion in this project will be invested by Amazon. $5.5 billion dollars will be invested by New York and Virginia. That is a subsidy of over 50% of the cost of this project. We the taxpayers will be either paying higher taxes to fund this private company, among the richest in the world, or, if we don't get our taxes raised, the government will deliver fewer services to us because it has given this enormous subsidy to a company. $5 billion from Virginia and New York where Mr. Bezos, the owner of Amazon, is himself the owner of $160 billion. He didn't need it, the company doesn't need it. We are being asked to subsidize. All of the profits will go to the private companies and their shareholders. We, the public, will be funding more than half of this project. Shame is what Mr. DeBlasio ought to feel rather than posing in the PR as if he has delivered something. [...]

The projected number of jobs in the New York area from this is 2,500. That's a very small number and will have no effect on the unemployment problem of this city [New York City] it's just too small and that's not a surprise [...] because the kind of work Amazon does is highly automated; it uses machines for 90% of what it does. And half of the people it's likely to have working in New York will be brought in from other parts of the Amazon empire.
That's because the city doesn't let people build enough new supply. THAT'S REALLY BAD. And it's the fault of city government, not Amazon or any other company.

Residency slots don't have to be funded by the government.

I mean, it's reasonable to expect hospitals left to their own devices to fund the most profitable number of slots, so government is left to do the sensible thing for society in general, but health care providers have lots and lots of the money.

I think a tiny revenue tax would be a good way to fund slots. And structural incentives to host programs.
