the fa makes the point that what makes a store successful it's location in the flow of a city's life and so the boarded up ones are going to be least productive junctions.

Totally understood. Just wanted to make it obvious that if something is bad, a bigger bad doesn't make the other less bad. I think we're on the same page here.

Appreciate your clarification.
Yep. Just to elaborate here: In order to open a new hospital in an area you need to acquire a 'certificate of need'[1]. You know who approves those certificates? The other hospitals in the area. Your competition literally gets to decide whether or not you can compete with them.

The other side of the story that's not covered here is that when hospitals buy up independent medical groups, patients, insurers and tax payers pay more.

In general, if a practice is hospital owned, they're allowed to bill about 2x what an independent provider could for the exact same procedure.

My wife is an ophthalmologist in private practice. A couple years back, we were looking at the economics of buying a laser to do a common treatment for patients with glaucoma, called a Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT).

Even with a decent understanding of medical reimbursement models in the United States, I was still kind of shocked by what I found.

The laser to perform the procedure costs about $30,000 to purchase.

The Medicare allowable for a physician performing the procedure in a standalone surgery center was about $315. There's really no reason that the procedure needs to be performed in a surgery center, and Medicare does let the physician bill about $30 more if they bought a laser for their office, and performed the procedure there. But, at an increase of $30/procedure, you'd have to be doing a ton of SLTs to make buying your own laser financially attractive vs. just using the local surgery center's.

Where things get crazy, is in terms of facility fees.

If a physician performs an SLT procedure at an ambulatory surgery center, the physician's Medicare allowable is about $315, and the surgery center can bill a separate facility fee of about $290, making the total procedure cost medicare just over $600.

If my wife's practice were bought by a hospital tomorrow, and they brought an SLT into her office, every time she performed an SLT in the exact same office that was now hospital owned, they'd be able to bill the $315 physician fee, plus a "hospital outpatient department" (HOPD) facility fee of $443, bringing the total cost of the procedure to over $750.

So, to recap the total costs to medicare:

Physician does the procedure in their privately owned medical practice: $345

Physician does the procedure in a surgery center: $600

Physician does the procedure in a hospital-owned medical practice: $750

This is why independent medical providers are getting bought up by hospitals and large health systems at an alarming rate.

You hear a lot in the healthcare market about the efficiencies of scale, and how large integrated healthcare organizations are doing amazing things. You don't hear a lot about the potential for independent practitioners to reduce costs, but it's absolutely there, and largely ignored.
> Well, not having the driver's phone number is good.

There is no need to actually give out the drivers phone number, Uber could easily have an 800 number that when called would prompt you for a case or ticket number generated by the app and then would provide you with options for anonymously connecting to your driver or a customer support agent.

> Should the driver drive for free to return your jacket?

When I drove cabs, we would take lost items back to the shop. If they were called for we might deliver them to you for free if it was really slow, but we would usually just charge you a regular fare from the shop to where you wanted it. Otherwise, you could come down to the shop and claim it in person.

> Do you think another passenger will understand and be forgiving that their ride is 10 minutes late because of your situation?

If you lost the item, I think the primary concern is that you actually get it back not how timely it is. Clearly you'll just have to wait until the driver is free and pay the fare to get the item back to where you are currently.

In principle you're right, but the notion that header file exposes just the "interface" is completely false. Class definition, private variables and functions, etc. are all exposed in header file.

Header files are not a way to only expose the interface. You give up a lot more in C++.

I've never had to deal with pesky header files until I started developing C and it immediately struct me as a royal pain in the ass. Even after couple of years of developing C/C++, I find the whole concept of header files archaic. Include preprocessor directive literally copy pastes stuff with no intelligence what-so-ever. The user is now burdened to ensure #includes are guarded to what I call a patchy half-baked hacked up solution - #IFDEF/#DEFINE/#ENDIF and #pragma in C++.

It should be handled automatically by the compiler/preprocessor or IDE and I believe it is now being addressed in the C++17/20 spec with the advent of "modules". This thing should have been written up way back in 1989.
Also important to have the date when the video/screenshot was taken and be able to filter by it.
New medical schools have been established. The AMA doesn't cap the number of doctors minted. The actual cap is imposed by the number of residency slots that the government funds.
This is interesting. I wonder how much money they are spending to keep ahead of competitors and I wonder if it will, in fact, pay off in the long run. They can't sustain a loss for long before people lose faith.
The simple answer is that these lanes (buffers, I prefer to call them) are per logical core.

The more complicated answer is that there are a variety of buffers involved in the "path to memory", starting with the core-private buffers between the core and L1 and L2, and moving to socket-shared buffers at the L3, memory controllers and DRAM.

In this particular single-threaded test, it is the 10 core-private "line fill buffers" between the L1 and L2 which are the bottleneck, which is where you get the simple answer from. If you ran this test on enough cores at the same time, I would entirely expect the bottlneck to change to one of the shared buffers.
> The size of the crowd suggested by the icon changed randomly for participants so that they were not merely jumping on the bandwagon of a large crowd, according to the researchers

This is what I mean. There are plenty of people experiencing homelessness because, say, they lost their job and they were already behind on their rent, so now they're couchsurfing or living in their car. That is not a complicated problem for cities to solve, if they have enough money and the political will to spend it. Housing vouchers, job placement counseling, domestic violence programs: there are lots of successful ways to help people without substance abuse issues.

But my uncle Jim, an alcoholic whom I most recently saw panhandling on a freeway on-ramp in Seattle? His problems are not easy to solve, and nobody quite knows how to turn money and political will into solutions for people like him. His family doesn't know how, his city doesn't know how, and I certainly don't know how. I gave him a few bucks, which I'm sure he used on his alcohol of choice, and tried not to think about how my dad looked just like him.

With their new loyalty program and Uber Visa card, I definitely think they are trying hard to build that lock-in effect. Once that happens, I do think they'll reap the rewards of their platform. It's just hard at first. I hope they can pull it off tho. But then again, I do know a lot of Uber drivers who only use Lyft personally for rides.

Well nothing much to imagine. It's true in most of the world that decent hospital treatment for serious ailment can bankrupt people. Now it is different in some rich european countries. But people here somehow behave as if apart from US one can get top notch hospital care anywhere in world without severe financial consequences.

I have seen here many who visit from US singing paeans for excellent healthcare in third world nation like India. It mainly works because 1) Whats very cheap for people in US is still very good amount of money there. 2) Local hospitals there would not dare ripping off Americans as it can cause great reputational harm if that incident ever covered by first world media.

However for locals these hospitals behave in absolutely atrocious and corrupt manner. And anyone not in top 5% in wealth pyramid will be ruined financially by treatment expenses.
I'm not saying people should take the stand and say they're afraid... perhaps we have different interpretations of the quote from appleflaxen that was quoted and that you responded to. Here it is:

"You could argue that the authorities have presented you with a device that has had the password changed. If they actually do this do they just get to lock you up for however long they feel like?"

I interpreted that quote to be used as potential horror story that could be created by compelled decryption. As such, the fear that story creates could make it used as an argument against compelled decryption ("if a court can compel you to decrypt your files, then $HORROR_STORY is possible! We need to all fight against compelled decryption!").

A good number of people will get behind that argument, even though (as you said) that argument depends on an "unlikely logical possibility". And those people using the fear of that horror story to dislike (and maybe even rally against) compelled decryption is what my point was about.

What's really frustrating is that this isn't a new idea at all. RPMs have had BuildRequires forever, debs have had a similar concept for a similarly long time.

Sure, multistage builds are useful, but you could always get the same features (and more) by making packages for whatever distribution you use and installing it in your container. I get that's it's not as easy as writing a shell script in your Dockerfile to build all your dependencies, but sometimes better solutions aren't free.

(Also this is one of the reasons why the layer model of deduplication is flawed, and why I'm working on improving it. You shouldn't have to care how large your logical image size is.)
I wouldn’t call that “completely broken”. You can argue it took too long, or that having to give that advice for the reason given is stupid, or that the customer didn’t want to get that advice, but in the example the customer managed to get through to customer support and got clear, actionable advice.

I frequently read worse on HN about Google, where even reaching tech support can be ‘challenging”, and Apple, where app reviews report issues that developers can’t make heads or tails of.

Uber has to do all kinds of things that a taxi company wouldn't need to do. For example they have an entire department related to resolving sexual assault/harassment issues between customers and drivers. A taxi company would just send the the matter to the police and be done with it.

They also must have a large "compliance" department as each city, state and country seems to be enacting a different set of rules around how the company can operate.

All these different departments need software to support them (no point in having compliance if the app forgets to charge the right tax somewhere!), which means they need more accountants, more HR people, etc.

It seems like Uber could trim some fat (I had an interview with them that was laughably easy), but who knows if the CEO thinks he can do that without causing low morale and a stampede of the actual talent.
i agree the word “AI” ought not be used to describe this.

the thing that makes these sorts of problems not quite so simple is that there are fairness constraints, not just constraints on routes and schedules. there may also be a requirement that the solution should be chosen in such a way that a rational agent has no incentive to lie about their true preferences. the best way to achieve these many conflicting goals is definitely not settled.
LambdaSchool https://lambdaschool.com/apply/

My advice is if lambdaschool cant be done in his schedule then do a crash course in practical data science from CMU instead.

https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~112/schedule.html click on each topic, short youtube lecture for intro to Python3. Homework is self contained with tests.

http://www.datasciencecourse.org/lectures/ same school, lectures also open, a crash course in manipulating APIs and data to do analysis.

If he actually does the homework assignments he can easily go on any freelancer site and start knocking off small jobs like 'get me all these Amazon listings for X and then produce in excel format' which pay 25-100 depending on what kind of analysis they want. Enough for a portfolio to later apply to Stripe or Amazon as a junior data engineer or whatever they are called these days. Even if not interested in data or ML that course still covers a lot of web things like headers, authentication, response codes, parsing XML, sql crash course, ect. If he does like webdev the first course is still an excellent launching pad for building your own software after in any language or getting into lambdaschool

Net improvement doesn't require universal improvement.

> In principle you're right, but the notion that header file exposes just the "interface" is completely false.

Sorry, but it is not "completely false". Doing it properly requires a carefully designed interface to hide internal data structures, and splitting out the end user headers from the internal headers, but it works.

> I've never had to deal with pesky header files until I started developing C and it immediately struct me as a royal pain in the ass.

It's like saying, "I've never had to deal with pesky .py files until I started developing Python."
In addition to the lease, you also have to add in the cost of insurance and fuel, and potentially parking (depending on where precisely in the region you live). Also, you almost always have to carry (expensive) full coverage for leased vehicles, further increasing the price.

13 Things That Saved Apollo 13
Load and store queues are different than the "miss buffers" we are talking about here. Every load and store will need one of these entries from allocation until retirement, so there are usually a lot of them, something like 20% to 40% the size of the ROB (re-order buffer) each, since many code sequences have many loads and stores.

The miss buffers are different in that they only get involved when there is an L1 miss. They are only used from the moment the miss is detected until the miss completes. Also, load and store buffers are used 1:1 with load and store instructions (including instructions that have a load, store or both combined with an ALU operation, such as load-op or RMW on x86). Miss buffers are 1:1 with outstanding misses on the granularity of cache lines. So if you load 8 consecutive 4-byte values, which all fall in the same cache line, which misses in L1, you'll have 8 load buffer entries used, but only 1 fill buffer used since the buffer coalesces all misses to the same line.

How hard do you think it would be to compose an equivalent list for any time period in history?
I have often compared Uber to the airlines and not in kind way. There is simply no loyalty. I am skeptical that the airline frequent flier model will work. I predominately use Delta for international travel because of Delta One, but will probably switch to United when the 767 and 777 retrofit to Polaris is complete. I prefer United because I live in SF and there are more good flights from here. I don't know what Uber or Lyft could offer me because the networks are largely the same, the product is identical and there is very little chance for differentiation. Maybe they will figure something out but I am skeptical. For me to believe there is margin anywhere in there I would need to see what their equivalent of business class would be.
Ahhhhhhhhh. Yes I suppose that is a possible take on what they said. It didn't seem at all clear to me that this was the case from my reading of it.
