> The number of Medicare-funded residency positions available is capped by the AAMC. Nothing but an unwillingness to do so is stopping more institutions from opening non-Medicare-funded residency billets.

Yes, except the fact that it's unprofitable to do so. Residency positions, contrary to popular belief, generally lose money, which is why the government subsidizes 75% of their costs in the first place.

The reason we don't have more doctors is because the funding isn't there. It has nothing to do with the AMA, as OP claimed.
Is that really the case?! Wow. I've used a USB-C car charger from Anker with the Switch and not given it a second thought. I recall reading that the Switch had odd or picky behavior but I didn't think that it could be damaged by non-Nintendo equipment.
In the case of DGA/SGA, it means that you get your healthcare from the union, not your employer. So as long as you're a union member in good standing (and the dues are substantial, just to be clear), you have healthcare coverage through them.
It depends on who you feel they are competing with. The traditional independent optometrist office glasses stores normally function the same way. Yet I don't see those as the true competitor since those get you into the door with the doctor's appointment (and also don't necessarily have to support themselves purely through sales). I think Warby Parker is more competing with the mass market mall glasses stores like Lenscrafters or Pearle Vision which do everything in house and can turn around a pair of prescription lenses in an hour or so.
Plenty of countries have unions and their industries have no such problems.

Not saying those things you describe didn't happen.

However, one should wonder why almost the entire rest of the world manages to do this just fine.
In a USB-backed world things do seem to go pretty smoothly. I'm looking forward to that all USB-C world too :) Imagine never having to think about which way a plug should go!

I suppose my biggest gripe is that things that aren't USB are able to use the USB-C form factor. For instance thunderbolt. My dock at work connects with thunderbolt over USB-C, and everything works fine minus the display port pass through. It's kinda cool that it works at all to be honest. Oddly enough the Ethernet jack and Dock sound card are run over USB so those work fine.
Predicting the future relevance of research institutions
Well this might not meet your needs (and it has been a lot of years since I've used it because I don't do Windows anymore) but I believe Wix wixtoolset.org is still the default way of building installers for Windows.

When I used it I built a tool to generate installers for an enterprise product so that the consultants who were going out to the government organization to install the product could have a premade installer that did 80% of the work for them when they got there.

Perhaps you could build what you need if you find a sample installer that meets your needs, some good examples here https://github.com/rstropek/Samples/tree/master/WiXSamples
On the other hand, I find slack and its ilk terrible compared to email.

Plenty of people I know use that at work, but email is really nice, and I love the features Thunderbird has.
In a walkable area there is no "last mile" problem for able bodied people. A mile is a perfectly reasonable 20 minute walk provided the streets are safe. And if the streets are built safely, scooters and bikes will be usable as a natural consequence.

And if you're disabled, scooters and bikes aren't helping you much anyway.

Scooters and bikes are great supplements to a system, but they won't actually do much good without a mass transit system to be the backbone for getting around.
This is mentioned in the article, with three payers you don't even need to rotate: "Meanwhile, Feng Wang at the University of California, Berkeley, says he and his colleagues have seen signs of superconductivity in triple-stacked layers of graphene even without a twist. Layering three sheets in a particular orientation8 achieves a superlattice geometry similar to that in magic-angle twisted bilayers, and results in similarly strongly correlated physics, he says."
Those numbers say nothing about the interaction between retail and online sales. There is no question the Warby Parker retail stores cannibalize the online sales. The only reason I went to the store was because it was quicker than a home try on. The brand is what attracted me as a potential customer and not the store itself. It is a mistake to only credit the store with the potential sale.
Besides security policy, mDNS uses a link-local multicast address, so routers will not forward it to other network segments. Many operators utilize a number of VLANs on their wireless networks, so this creates an issue when devices in separate VLANs attempt to discover each other over mDNS.

This is usually solved through some sort of mDNS proxy, but you don't really want to proxy everything. If your phone discovered all of the apple tvs and chromecasts across campus, then it wouldn't make for a good user experience for anybody.

Yes.

The one strange thing is that it seems to have caught IBM somewhat off-guard.
Bonds are debt, but they are not "money" (and not seen as such by the general public). Also, such bonds could be required to have maturities that matched the maturity curve of the assets/lendings (or slightly longer), which would help forestall a liquidity crunch.

If more of the risk was carried by (lower priority) bonds, the central bank/government would not have to carry risks associated with a credit market crash. Central banks could still be lenders of last resort if there is a liquidity crunch, but only as long as the bank is well within its capital requirements.

The main problem I see with the current system, is that it is so opaque to most people. Even if the system is not inherently corrupt using "fractional reserve banking", most people are not likely to be able to tell whether or not it is. If moving the risk to bonds (or all the way to bank stocks), it could hopefully shut down some conspiracy theories and also make it more difficult to resist various forms of moral hazard for regulators and bankers, as bond-holders would be more vigilant than most depositors.
It's less about wages and more about work conditions. But I do know people on short contracts making less than I would consider humane wages.

Certainly not in the SF bay area, but I'm not located there.
NOx exhaust aftertreatment systems are standard, so a compliant vehicle today will have considerably less NOx in exhaust as well. As for CO2, well, it's not a small chunk, but cars and light trucks account for less than half of transportation sector CO2 emissions; and the transport sector accounts for about 28% of overall CO2 emissions. It's not silly to reduce CO2 emissions in light trucks and cars, but at most reducing those sources would only cut about 15% of U.S. CO2.

>> as people who rely on transit in the US are either big city urban elites, or the poor stuck in crappy burbs with shitty mobility.

Clearly we don't ride the same bus. A lot of the urban elites on my bus route are heading down to service jobs in hotels, restaurants, and perhaps day-care centers.
Curious: since EVs are only using stored energy which still comes mostly from fossil fuels (afaik), is there any research that would show their total environmental impact per driven mile? That is, if we're burning coal and transmitting resulting electricity, then storing it in batteries and transforming it to motion (with all the losses along the way), how much better off are we compared to the traditional fuel?
I regularly nearly exceed the load capacity of a 1/2 pickup. Some of them are road queens but some people actually use a truck for its intended purpose.

> a few years ago when I was looking for a used Leaf

The Leaf was notorious for not actually cooling the battery so I can see how they would do better in Norway. Maybe the newest generations have improved on that. I'd be curious if that was the same for Tesla though, which supposedly keeps the battery temperate under much better control.
MailMate is OSX only and proprietary, which kind of makes it a very different beast.
Ritual.co | Backend (Java), Mobile, Web (React), Data Engineers, DevOps (GCP+Kubernetes) | Toronto, ON | ONSITE, FULL TIME

Ritual’s mission is to digitize local commerce. We are a two-sided marketplace connecting consumers to their local merchants to make the purchasing of goods and service more efficient. Our initial product focuses on creating a social food ordering experience that allows users to pre-order take-out at their local restaurants. We make it easy to place group orders and have a coworker deliver your lunch or coffee right to your desk. Our value-add for merchants is to increase their order volume and repeat business. Additionally we provide merchants with valuable insights into their local customer behaviour, allowing for highly targeted local marketing campaigns.

We recently closed a $70M Series C round and are looking to double our engineering team to 100. We are mostly focusing on intermediate and senior talent. Come help us digitize local commerce!

I think you're underestimating the proportion of potential EV owners in situations which preclude charging at home.
What kind of health problems? I was under the impression that the emission standards for the last 40 years or so have been quite stringent.
Sure, security adds friction. Whether the added friction is worth the added security in your case depends on the amount of friction and the amount of security it buys you. The trade off is likely different for you than it is for a larger org. For example, you (or the admins responsible for your org) could maintain an apt repo with signed nvidia drivers for your org. This would reduce the friction by centralizing the signing process.

I keep my signing key on my machine, but gpg-encrypted bound to a yubikey. Is that frictionless? No, certainly not. Does it provide perfect security? No, certainly not. A dedicated attacker can root my box and wait until I need to sign a module. Does it protect me from loading random kernel modules if I get hit by an automated attack? Most likely. Good enough for what I currently expect as threats.
Graphene has a big advantage over them, although it is slow to deliver. New batteries or affordable fuel cells require breakthroughs in materials science, especially in the case of fuel cells. Inventing novel, cheap, mass-produceable catalysts to replace something like platinum, or a novel battery chemistry is a monumental challenge. Graphene already exists, but the propeties of the material are complex, and affordable mass production at the desirable scale is prohibitively expensive. Still, it exists, it can be made and manipulated, but a lot of exploration into its properties remains.

I’d expect Graphene to be useful with a couple of decades, possibly sooner, while I wouldn’t even venture a guess on breakthrough batteries or fuel cells.
I agree with everything you've said. That's a very strong utilitarian argument. If you're going to make utilitarian arguments, you might as well embrace utilitarianism and reject competing moral philosophies. That's exactly my critique of Anderson's proposal.

Generally, inequality increases during times of growth; it's a general rule that the rich get richer faster than the poor get richer.

It's during times of decline that you normally expect inequality to decline. After all, the rich collect the profits while the poor collect wages. Wages are relatively fixed while profits vary wildly.
I don't know if it's bad faith, but you're describing a property the entire society had at the time. Perhaps the unions were worse than most, but that's not the case you're making. Also, it's not clear how your claims and those of the article can't both be true.
The AMA might not control it directly, but like any good union, they are politically active and have members on the relevant controlling bodies...

Kettlebell Kitchen | https://www.kettlebellkitchen.com | New York, NY | Senior Software Engineer | ONSITE | Full-time

We are looking for quick learners who enjoy working with modern software development tools in the food and manufacturing space.

Knowledge of specific frameworks or libraries is less important than a broad knowledge of software development practices and an ability to learn.

At Kettlebell Kitchen, we're building technology to empower and drive our food manufacturing business. We believe in tried and true business models, like buying raw materials and selling a value-added product. Explosive growth is nice, but not at any cost.

There are a ton of areas, including much of the ordering platform, that need re-thinking.

Must haves:

1. Significant experience developing web applications and web sites.

2. Very good grasp of Python 3.5+ or TypeScript. Both are a plus.

3. Some knowledge of the other language listed above.

4. Willingness to work with both ecosystems.

5. Relational database experience, ideally PostgreSQL and MySQL.

6. An understanding of automated testing and when it’s an asset and when it’s a liability.

7. Clear, concise coding skills. Your code is more often described as "clean and elegant" than "clever."

Nice to haves:

1. Understanding of formal methods

2. Bash and vi fu.

3. Mypy and static typing experience in Python.

4. React experience.

5. Django experience.

6. LoopBack experience.

7. Angular experience.

8. Static typing experience in other languages: Java, C++

9. API design

10. Rust experience

11. A love of healthy food or fitness. Or both.

SE at Upflow here !

I've been working there since the very beginning, and it's been absolutely fantastic. We have already changed the way a bunch of companies get paid, and helped them get huge sums of money back to run their business, and that feels great.

As for the work atmosphere, it strikes a great balance between the exhilarating ride of launching a startup and the calm and self-care required to be in it for the long run :)
Gas stations are obviously a great place for chargers because they're already properly distributed along well travelled routes. I think there's probably going to be a market for either an existing restaurant coffee chain with a lot of existing real estate (or perhaps a new chain that's a bit more upscale) to partner with Tesla and any of the other electric car manufacturers and build a concept around high quality food with quick turn around (like order ahead and eat in under the time it takes your car to charge). Gas stations as they currently exist can be pretty bleak places to spend 30 minutes

The biggest advantages monorepos have offered is development of tools like lerna(1) or yarn workspaces.

Before that there used to be a node_modules folder with GBs of [useless] data in all my projects. Now there is just one folder on top and that's it. Also if you're developing lots of modules or plugins it makes it super to work without committing changes since they are symlinked.

That's another area that merits research beyond simply assuming that an unequal outcome implies discrimination, and research to-date isn't entirely supportive of that assumption:

- Work on, or help out with, a research project of a professor/established researcher in your field of interest.

- Related, getting authorship (first or otherwise) for an academic publication as an undergraduate is a promising signal of future research success.

- Also related, having great references from undergrad professors who are involved in research.

- Connect with faculty in the PhD program you're interested in.

Context: Got bad grades in undergrad courses related to my particular specialty (digital audio signal processing), but also did all of these, and was admitted to a top PhD program in my field.

Also, a lot of people in my program had success with this one:

- Applying for a masters in a related field or at a department that also has a PhD program that you're interested in, and having success there.
> (From experience) providing solutions interferes with the learning process of my own students at Illinois. I have to change up homeworks and exam questions every semester, because otherwise students will look up and copy/memorize the answers instead of trying to figuring them out, which means they do worse on the exams where they HAVE to figure things out.

While I understand the desire of a professor to help out their own students, at what point does this become a matter of individual responsibility? Shouldn’t it be the student who refrains from memorizing answers?

When I took my algorithms course, we had a reference textbook with questions at the end of the chapter, but no solutions. Some people at the beginning of the semester tried to crowdsource the answers using a Google doc but that effort failed. It didn’t really matter though, since our homework and exam questions were always renewed each semester through the work of course staff and the instructing professor. In hindsight, I may have taken this for granted as it seems other schools don’t have a “training” and a “testing” set of problems - I would say having both is better than only having one.

There are a lot of places where trains (above or below ground) and trams will still make sense. It's going to be nearly impossible to automate past the fundamental limits of street space in cities like New York for automated cars to surpass the sheer volume of people serviced by the subway.
They are, which is why I'm suggesting that instead of thinking of "transit vs private cars" everything will essentially melt together. IE, if you take a bus with 30 riders today and replace it with 5 AV-minivans each with 6 occupants driving behind each other, is it any different? What if instead of the city, I own one of these minivans? What if I pay 6 fares and have the minivan take my family to somewhere? What if 6 passengers split a minivan, but pay extra to use a dedicated lane?

Game Developers. Around $30-40k per year to live and work for 80 to 100 hours a week in locations where the cost of living is higher than average. Toss in a lack of job security (regular layoffs as projects complete and a ready supply of raw recruits) and it fits my definition of inhumane.
