Whole Foods has expensive food, together with a lot of outrageous health claims, but it's the industry black sheep in terms of health and sanitation.

Most supermarkets, for example require basic things like bathrooms and hand washing stations separated from food handling areas on agricultural farms that supply them with product. Not Whole Foods. There also have lots of issues with sanitation in their stores, especially given the volume they move from their salad bars.

People can wear clothes, shoes, glasses and jewellery 16 hours/day for decades, can work with thin food-protective or thick hand-protective gloves on for hours every day. Even when people suffer from chapped or sore skin problems with gloves, as some do, they still manage to do it because the value of (being employed, or being able to work with delicate or dangerous things) makes it worth enduring.

I don't know anything about VR and the biological costs of using it, but why is it necessarily more harsh on the body than glasses and headphones and gloves? Future-VR is likely to get smaller and lighter, like current VR is smaller and lighter than Steve Mann's 1980s and 1990s wearables. Won't there come a point where it's just .. light and easy and mostly fine?

It’s more complicated, the insurers essentially tell providers how to practice (ie prescribe this generic not the name brand, don’t prescribe 30 day Rx prescribe 90 day and don’t see/treat them in the meantime, etc...) and if the providers don’t listen the provider gets dropped from the network and either the patients are forced to new providers who the insurers control behind the scenes, or more and more the patients are forced to providers the insurers actually own.
I'm not suggesting this as the right solution, but I wrote a lot of assignments for my MSc with Markdown + build scripts + a heavy amount of Perl.

Variously this did things like running embedded unit tests in code examples, validating XSL schemas, making sure GraphViz images were created and up-to-date, running a Z-Notation type-checker, and code that created both SQL and Relational Algebra from a simplified SQL-like DSL.

I'm not saying this is a superior approach to AsciiDoc, just that it's amazing what you can create when you turn your mind to avoiding working on your MSc assignments and let your OCD about creating perfect assignments run wild.

> presumably they keep their best employees

I don't think that's a safe presumption, especially in the case of mass layoffs. Often every team will have to shed people, so if a whole team is made up of high performers they'll still have to get rid of good people. Then you've got the cost cutting nature of laying people off, sometimes the highest paid will be the ones with a target on their back.

The high performers are often on duties that have them directing the future of the company, things like planning to upgrade/rewrite that old legacy system. When it comes to layoffs they'll be let go while poorer performers maintaining the old system will be kept because they're needed for immediate operations.

Companies will layoff anyone not involved with "keeping the light's on", that doesn't correlate with individual performance.

VGA Video out on BluePill
At around the time the "Walking around NYC" video, there was a Feminist Frequency video about the "Male Gaze." Basically, men looking at women harms them, and we should avert our eyes, like we're peasants in the presence of the Emperor's entourage in Imperial China.

That’s an impressively warped hodgepodge, and as far as I can tell totally divorced from reality. The whole “Male Gaze” concept is drawn from cinematic gaze theory and the bowels of psychoanalysis, and it doesn’t remotely mean what you take it to mean. It also exists in the context of the feminine gaze, oppositional gaze and many others. It’s an overwrought construction, but that’s also a reflection of how old it is and its roots in even older ideas. There are some interesting points to be made, especially in cinematic analysis using gaze theory, but that’s about all.

One thing is for sure though, it has nothing to do with averting your eyes or harming people by looking at them. Please don’t use what amounts to intellectual clickbait to springboard utterly milquetoast rants about “PC culture.”

They show that even within a specific (job-title, company, state) tuple, higher unemployment led to higher skills requirements, in a probably-causal way.

That doesn't mean the skills gap is a lie, or any other nefarious bad behavior on the company's part. The study doesn't go into that.
What could that wouldn't with a private platform? A hypothetical public forum would be excellent! It would be a place where people could feel comfortable to disseminate knowledge without worrying about their information and psychological profile being bought, sold, and manipulated because it wouldn't be financially supported by those practices. If it's kept far away from Ajit Pai types, maybe bad actors could be forced out (SSN or other official verification, maybe?)

Take a look at a well-run government resource like PubMed. Sure it looks awkward at first, but its extensively documented, and as you learn more and more about it you begin to appreciate how robust it is being isolated from metrics like time on platform or ad engagement. You have powerful search operators, and extensive public databases of primary literature and entire seminal textbooks. Functionality is only added, never removed. Everything we know about biology is indexed on this website and available at your fingertips (ignoring Elsevier for a moment). You don't even have to visit it unless you need to; it's trivial to set up email notifications or an RSS feed for an active search.

Social media is broken. The playbook used by the Russians only worked because it benefitted from these same algorithms designed to keep peoples eyes fixed on these platforms and no other. Who would have known that designing a platform to maximize viral advertising could be used as is to maximize viral propaganda? Certainly not Zuckerberg, as he claims.

The original premise of Facebook, an online extension to strictly local connections, seems so idyllic and utopian now.

The article actually claims that "One of the most common extramission beliefs is that people can “feel” someone else’s gaze as a pressure or heat on the skin." so I don't think your original point (that people were more likely to be tracking gaze to anticipate action) corresponds to the facts. Now, the claim I've quoted could be false, but it's not presented as a hypothesis, but as an explanandum.

Most lower end Cortexes only come with bare bone peripherals and are encumbered with poor glue logic like multi cycle GPIO access or flash waitstates.

More garbage. Those aren't real prices being published, they're approximations. And good luck calculating your service or trying to price shop while sick in bed.

I'll edit the comment and add a source for that soon. Found it[1].

The most ridiculous part is that some would call those published prices a good start. As if continuing down the road of an "educated consumer" is the right path.

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE CONSUMER TO BE EDUCATED IN HEALTHCARE.

Prices are just a small part of it of the impossibility.

Doctors and nurses go through years of school. They go through all that because medicine is hard. Even the basic aspect of pronouncing the words is hard.

If you can't pronounce the words, how can you be expected to remember them and shop around, while sick...

EMS: You have a broken leg and a concussion. Which hospital do you want us to take you to?

Me: can you pull over for a few minutes while I lookup some prices? Actually, my service in the area is terrible. Does this ambulance have wifi?

EMS: Sure.

Me: Is it free?

EMS: No but you'll be happy to know the prices are published on our website.

Edit: [1] https://www.newsweek.com/end-hidden-costs-january-1st-all-us...

The prices listed are the retail prices while is not what the hospital usually charges. It's still not possible to know what price will end up on your bill. How much of a discount will you get at one hospital VS. another? Who knows...
The Sartan Contamination Story
Do let us know if you find any kind of "summary for old C++ devs". I agree that such a document would be super useful.
The "freeloading" meme is the creation of public relations groups employed by the pharma industry.

Drugs in the US are priced at the profit-maximizing price. That profit-maximizing price has nothing to do with how much pharma earns in other countries.

And it has absolutely nothing to do with the cost of R&D. R&D is a sunk cost, has no effect on drug pricing.
one of the mysteries for me is always: economists love it when the government spends more money because of money multiplier effects (the old Keynesian idea of burying wads of hundred dollar bills in millions of bottles and then pay someone to dig them up and spend it).

but then, when you have this HUGE industry which literally spends hundreds and hundreds of billions on all kinds of nonsense like wasteful billing administration, unnecessary defensive medical tests, overpriced drugs, etc, the same economists are unhappy.

Like yes you're technically right but only by seemingly purposely missing the point -- that having a community center to gather and worship is central to most religions. The times when chruchmembers gather in housechurches are typically times when they're being opressed.
One of the main reasons why I gave up career in the States and came back to my home country (Japan) was healthcare. I had a day surgery in the US and the whole experience (i.e. bills) just scared heck out of me. I am very happy with the system here. Everything is extremely efficient compared to the US. A little while ago, I had this mysterious headache and went to an orthopedist, dentist, psychiatrist, neurosurgeon then took an MRI. All within one week. My Canadian friend told me that it would be a half-year ordeal in Canada. By the way, I'm not rich.
> For the first point you mean clinical trials?

Usually post approval clinical trials. Since pharma companies wouldn't be allowed to pay doctors to prescribe their drugs for no reason, they just spin up new trials after the drug is already approved and pay doctors in exchange for getting the patients to do something nominal like filling out a survey.

> The 2nd point sounds like consulting fees, not advertising.

Consulting is a form of advertising, at least in the way it's actually done in the pharma industry.

Any recommended reading for Bash? I'm somewhat new to it and it's interesting ways of getting things done. I've used it minimally in the past, but have found myself writing a 100> LOC script, which I can't help but feel I'm likely over-complicating certain bits and pieces.
It doesn't have a barometer, either.
Though I agree that it's not always possible, I would contest your second point, at least for the majority of testing effort.

Sure, a unit test might just document what code is doing, because that's really the only why. But most testing effort should go into describing the why more carefully, which must be done at a higher level, as close as possible to how a user will interact with the thing.

Writing tests at the user's level and not getting bogged down in minutia requires careful factoring of the what and why. The what changes frequently, so if most of your tests are overly focused on the what, you will constantly need to update them as the code changes. The why changes much more slowly, so if your tests are written to exercise the why rather than the how, they will be resilient to changes in the implementation.

Of course, the what has to be somewhere, and when it changes there will need to be corresponding test updates, but these shouldn't require updating each individual test. The what can be kept cleanly factored out into helpers, leaving the why to remain as the essence of each test.
what is the actual threat here? if bob looses his number either he is able to somehow change the number on his account before that happens, in which case alice will get a fingerprint change once, and then when the old number is reactivated by ted and he manages to break into bobs account and then sends a message to alice, then alice would get another finger-print change from bobs account.

assuming that she ignores the change, the failure would be noticed when bob sends another message to alice as now the finger-print would change back to bobs, marking teds as coming from a different identity. this would be detectable in the client.

unclear is how did ted get into bobs account? if bob changed the phone number. i am assuming that shouldn't even be possible, so i believe we can in fact ignore this threat.

it looks differen't though if bob can not reactivate his old account, in which case alice will connect to bobs new account, and hopefully disconnect the old one.

if ted gets the number and reactivates bobs old account
then if alice did disconnect, she would notice a reconnect attempt from a new id and treat it like any new connect. if the connect verification doesn't involve the senders phone number then having bobs old number doesn't give ted any advantage.

if alice did not disconnect the old account, she will notice the account being reactivated, and now have two bobs talking to her, raising suspicion.

so it appears the only threat is coming from the case where bob looses his number and does not reconnect to alice with a new number. so alice is unaware that bob changed his number.

this can happen if bob and alice communicate rarely...
Not sure you can use that case as precedent. There's a zero percent chance she would have been acquitted if she had harassed a Democrat instead of a Republican.

But if it turns out to be a problem, you could always charge interest.

> And it has absolutely nothing to do with the cost of R&D. R&D is a sunk cost, has no effect on drug pricing.

That's not how this works. Volume is fixed because you effectively already know how many patients there are and COGS is minimal because drugs are generally very cheap to produce, so price and SG&A are the key drivers to determine returns
