Yes, it's just my experience.

For what it's worth, my experience teaching premeds was also not so great :) That's also anecdotal. But colleagues had similar complaints.

Also:

> And we fail to recognize that what we really have is a distribution problem. Parts of this country have lots of doctors, perhaps too many. ... A result is that many rural areas, and less popular cities, experience more of a doctor shortage than others.

> The other distribution issue is in specialization. When it comes to generalists, we ranked 24th of 28 countries in doctors per 1,000 people. Specialists are a different story. There, we were 11th. This is an important fact about the American health care system. We sometimes hear that we have too many specialists and too few generalists. That’s not necessarily the case. We have an average number of specialists compared with other advanced countries, and even shortages in some specialties. It’s the ratio of specialists to generalists that’s the problem. When you compare the percentage of physicians who are generalists with those who are specialists, the United States beats only Greece among developed economies.

> Here, financial drivers play a role. Doctors who choose to specialize can make much more money, millions more dollars over a career, than primary care physicians.

A great example of how an experienced photographer is more than just a body and a camera is contained within this story itself. The quality difference between the photograph the guy took a decade ago and the one he took this year was striking.
It seems like Krita uses that one: https://krita.org/en/donation-analytics/

It's not mentioned on the Donate page itself though, so I'm not sure how they found that out in the first place.
It's clearly the problem: the band thought they owned image rights. The photographer had a different understanding.
Looking at this strategically it seems that the photographer simply didn't expect the band and the sponsor to be so close. He desparately tries to separate them into two entities (artist and commercial) when in reality they're essentially two facets of the same brand.

It does seem that the band massively overreacted though.

I don't think this will play in their favour now that this has been posted so widely. Apparently the photographer wants the last word on this.
There is an art (that applies here and elsewhere) to phrasing comments/opinions that might go against the grain, in such a way that people appreciate being educated/enlightened or given the chance to think about an old topic in a new way.

Of course on every topic there will be some people who don't want to rethink their position, but you shouldn't worry about them (though accept that their downvotes are inevitable).

But if you craft your answers for people who might not yet agree with your position but are open to considering a new take, you'll get plenty more upvotes than downvotes overall.

One thing that troubles me, is the hospital near me does the same thing, but "consoladates the bill". This literally is just a never ending fee that increases and they never list for what.

Every single month I call and they give me the run-around. After 6 months of this, I have yet to pay the full bill until they mail me an itemized list and without fail it's wrong. I contact them, they remove two or three charges, I ask them to mail me the updated one. They do, then next month I receive a bill for those proceedures they removed the last time.

Its to the point every month my bill now goes from $0 to ~$800, then back to $0 by the end of the month. Unfortunately, they now called and threaten the ~$800 "over due bill" to collection's. Luckily, I've recorded and documented everything, so I got it removed (again).

However, I'm just waiting for this to go to collection's at some point, even though I owe zero at the end of every month. I'm 90% sure this is a bug in their system, but I can't seem to get around it.

Having worked for a medical billing office, I hate to say it, but this is the norm. The billing office is often not officially the hospital or medical practice. Although we got all the records, we never really interacted and it was just files on a computer. I used to do write-offs, which was basically taking $10m a day and just clicking "don't need to pay". Usually it was dead people, poor, etc. At least that part of the job seemed somewhat nice.

I guess the right thing for Youtube to do is to simply suspend any payouts, but continue monetization until the dispute is resolved. Once that happens the rightful owner of the content should receive any pending payouts.
The part I love is when the insurance company points the fingers at the clinic, and clinic points fingers at insurance for how long the whole thing takes, meanwhile I get sent to collections.

/now I pay a few dollars (no matter if I owe something or if they owe me) near the end of the 90 days those two companies have to figure out how much I owe so I don't have to deal with collections.
> Everybody is a photographer today

More like "everybody is a shitty photographer today". Most people have no clue what the f they are doing and calling themselves a photographer is just plain stupid.

There are many people that 'take a picture', just like there are many that 'drive a car' or 'work at Burger King'. Doesn't mean they suddenly are a professional, or know what they are doing. Taking a picture isn't photography, just like driving a car doesn't make you a formula one racer and working at Burger King doesn't make you a five star chef.

I want to be in a world where allocating hardware is as simple (at the API level) as allocating a block of memory or creating a thread. Kubernetes is a means to that end, and with an API that isn't tied to a specific vendor.

The efficiency of the actual code executing on the hardware is secondary to the efficiency of being able to automate allocation of hardware at the application level.
I've heard of why the insurance companies usually take a while, something to do with HIPAA and some insurance companies being bought out, so now they have to forward information back and forth, all whilst remaining compliant. At least something along those lines is what someone from HR at my company (not related to the medical industry) was telling us one time. I wasn't able to find a good article on it though sadly.

The biggest cost for growth companies is opportunity cost: what they aren't able to sell and deliver because of constraints in their development and operational setup.

If you have customers beating down your door to buy your product after you add n+1 feature, you can find investors to eat the extra operational cost without a problem as long as you can build n+1 fast enough that those customers don't go elsewhere.

The other element is elastic workload, of course. Having the application dynamically scale across a pool of machines in as tractable a manner as possible at the developer level can be an enormous cost saving all on its own. Instead of allocating machines based on individual high water marks, you can allocate a cluster based on the sum of average usage + as many standard deviations of resource usage to get as many 9s as you need.
Application devs shouldn't have to implement smooth scrolling. The DE should, and make it toggleable on a per-application basis.

This is a perhaps over-fine semantic distinction, but I would argue that there's a qualitative difference between IR/language implementation and compilation speed. The former should not drive the language's features; the latter is a language feature.

A lot of fans that were around years ago during the transition away from Carcass are aware of their behavior and even Angela Gossow (former vocalist) has basically admitted in interviews that they sold out (they weren’t ever really an underground band though... so you’re more like a commercial pop group, uhh) to make a living. To me, there’s nothing wrong with being up-front that it’s about the money and if you’re enjoying the music so be it but nobody into metal is surprised by this kind of behavior by bands doing the same money grubbing things that bands making orders of magnitude more money are doing. I think that’s the most shameful part of it all honestly - if you wanted to make money playing music there’s way more options than metal. Heck, the former keyboard player for Emperor quit metal completely, cut his hair, and did fine in Norway with dance music as a solo artist. I think the guys in Beherit literally went to dance music too.

In our current and economic system the money that air travel generates is not going to be made available for any of those other fine causes, it's going to either be used to make air travel safer and more environmentally friendly, or it's going to be used to pay dividends to shareholders. It will only be used for safety and environmental standards (and crew care, and passenger comfort) if travellers demand it is and refuse to fly on lines that don't conform.

In practice I never went away from GIMP for most Photoshop-like tasks. Which isn't a signal that GIMP is great, but that I grew used to its deficiencies many years ago. And it has gradually improved: It has single-window UI now, after all.

For the two very most common bitmap editing tasks(color remapping and selection-based edits) it's OK and it even boasts some fancy features these days. For drawing, it has a workable set of brushes and fills, though I think Krita is the better app here now. For graphic design things(typography, layout, layers of procedural effects) too many things still involve a slow, indirect workflow, but there are signs of this problem being chipped away at.

(The single best tip I have for GIMP is: get in the habit of using the "/" key quick search instead of using the dropdown menus)
I am not sure how to interpret the article. Does it mean there will be a way to upload an 8-Bit PNG image as a header image and Twitter will store and display it unmodified?

> Now what about Rust? Its trying to eat some lunch from C and C++. But a lot of code and value is already there in C and C++, where rewriting it in Rust just for some ocasional added value here and there is not reasonable.

For existing software it certainly is less about rewriting it but extending it in Rust.

Thanks to not having a runtime and being quite easy to create a shared library with a C-ABI, pretty much any software written in any language could be extended with code written in Rust.
>but my understanding is that while being diabetic means that overconsuming sugar will be bad because your body can't regulate blood sugar, a non-diabetic person consuming copious amounts of sugar will not directly cause them to develop diabetes.

Again that’s the industry playing words games and being disingenuous.

There are sugars that are processed by the liver and then sugar that can’t be processed by the liver, which are released into the blood triggering an insulin response. That distinction in sugars like the type1/type2 distinction allows the industry to make broad claims to muddy the waters.

Sure if you only consumer sugars processed in the liver you won’t develop type 2 (of course you will likely have non alcoholic fatty liver disease). On the other hand the sugar that is released into the blood triggering insulin is the sugar that if removed from diet can prevent 100% of type 2 diabeties.

Your observation that people who don’t smoke still get cancer is obviously true, but on the flip people who do not consume sugars that cause insulin spikes will not develop type 2. So now Imagine if preventing cancer were as simple as saying if you stop consuming x you will not develop cancer, but a bunch of FUD saying x doesn’t cause cancer (that may be technically correct but the much larger issue is don’t consume x and you won’t develop y). I’m all for the progress of science and all for the continued study, in the meantime though if we want people (especially children) to stop getting y they should immediately stop consuming x, until science provides further insight allow the consumption of x without getting y.
How about a notetaking app that also handles stylus input? IMO any note-taking app that doesn't suck handles stylus input gracefully as I make many notes that aren't easily expressable via UTF-8 text.

And I could figure out how to do a TIKZ-like style of drawing schema's but using stylus input is way faster.
As someone who was in a non-technology role[1] who has interviewed people for technology roles I think ageism in technology is often inadvertent (I've never heard anyone say "Candidate X is too old for this position") and "shows" itself more than other areas because technology moves so fast. As people move up in an organization there is less need to hone their skills. "Old school" investment managers I have worked with still manage to the 60/40 rule. Similarly, a bank I worked for had a CTO who was probably top-notch at server security in the 1990's but completely resisted any SaaS that used AWS because of "security concerns." Instead of learning how to assess whether the way a potential vendor has configured AWS posed any risk to our company he just turned them away. He didn't understand AWS and had no interest in trying to. Because technology advances so quickly the CTO has been let go (resisting AWS is futile) while the 60/40 guy will probably continue to mismanage money for his clients until he decides to retire in the next 2-5 years.

Typically a native application will depend on shared libraries (or runtime such as jvm, .net) which can be updated independently of the application itself. That said, if the vulnerability is in the application code, you are correct, there would be little difference.

Well, the author claims that they never had any rights to the photo he took at all. They still could have used another photo, but they instead picked what they thought was the best photo (his), using it without even contacting him.
I think you are using a different definition of "safe" than Rust folks use.
Based on the reading it appears that the clothing company sponsors are a small etsy style company owned by close friends of the band.

So they have a personal stake... plus a commercial one if they want more merch to wear by keeping the sponsor happy.
I don’t think an experienced concert photographer is as substitutable as you’re claiming. Just compare the image from this photographer’s early concert photography to his recent work. It takes time and effort to get to a place where you can take good pictures like this. If the band doesn’t appreciate that experience, that’s their right. But, as the photographer discussed in the article, I suspect their decision doesn’t reflect the opinion of the broader music community.
This is the "right" approach - speaking from experience after having tried both ways (10-90 vs 90-10). The general structure is that your application is built as a DAG with the nodes representing C++ functions (not methods on classes), with edges representing arbitrary datastructures (not objects), with the graph being constructed and hooked up in python and executed using a library like TBB
Save up a bit for say 6 months and take a break. Explore your interests and see if any of your exploratory projects can be monetized.
I think what you're saying is, is that modularity at the level of the library is what succeeded? Rather than at the process /syscall level, or in process level.

To borrow your analogy. Pallet/shipping containers are modular(they won). Individual boxes and container ships, less so.

I can get behind that. I'm not sure that's the absolute best way.

Although as I write this, I'm reminded of the web browser I'm writing it in. Is it not more emacs than emacs?
> However, pretty weak of you to vote me down instead

Ugh, first of all, stop assuming I downvoted you, I only now saw your reply.

Second of all, it's not about actively harming people in that specific instance, it's about perpetuating the perception. Using a word as an insult implies that the target group is inferior and to be associated with it is undesirable. That's why I don't like people calling others "niggers" as I don't like people calling others "homos", or "whores" or a whole slew of other things.

If someone inside the group calls someone else a derogatory term of the group, hey, it's your own group you're harming. If it's someone outside, I try to show them that it's a shitty thing to be doing that.
> Hmm I'm fine with prolog, I love it, but I'm not sure how it can be used in practice.

Well, that rings similar to what is said about Lisp sometimes, and I think it can easily be refuted by pointing to instances where it is being used in practice[0].

There are some problems that are fairly easy to solve in Prolog, but would be very difficult to express in SQL[1]. And recursive relations, which are at the core of Prolog, only made their way into SQLite 4 years ago[2].

My comment was specifically about those Prolog/Datalog implementations in Racket. Other Prolog implementations might be dealing sensibly with incremental updates (but I don't know).

> Having seen companies where SQL was used very extensively for analytics, data storage etc I can't see how prolog wouldn't help.

You can't see how Prolog wouldn't help, as in Prolog can only be an improvement over SQL?

If you have any life threatening condition, go to the ER of any of your local hospitals and receive great medical care.

If you didn't pay for insurance, you'll pay for the services rendered directly.

People buy car insurance and home insurance and life insurance and disability insurance to pay for catastrophic incidents related to those things.

Health insurance should similarly be for catastrophic events, but unfortunately it's come to be responsible for all care, even routine care. The introduction of third party payments is a root cause of pricing difficulties.

Outside the United States in many of these "single payer" countries, you will have rationed care, whether that's in use of archaic procedures or medicines, or waitlists, or outright denial of service.

At least in the United States you can get whatever you need without much waiting.

I'm not suggesting taking legal rights away from the photographer. I already said I think the photographer is legally in the right. I don't want courts to switch things up, or legislators to change the situation.

What I am saying is that the economics of the situation exist. They can't be wished away. Outcomes tend to follow economics, even if they're illegal, as the existence of black markets, forced arbitration, legal battles based on spending and might rather than right, etc. show. And sometimes the economics are morally superior to the legality, even when the legality is nice and clear.

Part ownership of content production would be morally superior to the bright line clarity of copyright ownership. Ideally, it would reflect how much of the global culture is a part of content, how much is ideas floating in the air, and the multitudes of people who contribute to the gestalt of a moment. But the accounting is impossible. So the legality is simple, and sometimes it creates conflict. The answer is usually more law - signed agreements up front, etc.

A copyright that accounted for value added - if it were possible, calculable without continuous auctions and comparisons against alternatives, which is of course impossible generally - would accrue mostly to the band (and, recursively, to people who influenced the band), I reckon. But I think trying to implement something like that is impossible, and like I said, I don't think things should change. Instead, the band should make photographers sign something first.
