I could probably get better at it if I did it more often but I've pretty much moved to baking store-bought flatbread in a 500 degree oven which works fine for those times I actually want to make a pizza at home (which isn't all that often).
Interesting comparison and so far there does not seem to be a clear winner in this space - although there clearly is demand ("web shell for scientific work in a managed Linux environment").

At the moment CoCalc is my favorite, although I would prefer a slightly less cluttered user interface and less features (the distinction between Jupyter and Sage notebooks can be confusing - which is mostly historic as Sage built the groundwork, but Jupyter notebooks got more popular).
Do you mean evidence as to whether people with lower credit are likely to do such things against the company's interest? If so, I'm not sure. I just know it's something that is considered for govt purposes re: security clearances and that logic seems to carry over to private sector.
Most of the problems in the health care are non-urgent.

Most of people at the ER are not there "waking up and not knowing why they are in the ER". They walk into ER with something not working for them. That's exactly why it takes 3-4 hours to be seen by the ER doctor.

People like you, who wake up in the ER, are rarities. Those people are either brought to the ER in ambulances or are triaged and seen immediately. It is for those cases one could justify the costs of an ambulance ride and 500% markup of an bandage.
Agree. I have seen estimates place purchasing power parity of USD in India as 0.3, implying that $100 spent in India purchases as much value as $300 in the USA. This would imply a $10,000 surgery in India is somewhere in the realm of $33,000 in the USA.

I have no idea on the DRG associated with pulmonary thrombectomy to even estimate what Medicare allows for reimbursement, but it’s not going to be $200,000. If I find it, I will reply to this comment with an estimate.

Naive? I worked at Boeing for a couple years, and was on a software team where I was regularly asked to do things which flew in the face of the known best practices of the industry. (My team is not to blame for this. It wasn't for the 737MAX, it wasn't avionics, and the project was cancelled long before it was at all usable.)

It's not as "highly regulated" as you might want to believe. They talk a good game about CMMI but if you try to improve something they remind you that CMMI is only about process, not quality. Hurry up and ship something (deadlines!), and if it's not perfect we'll find it in test.

Given that the company has this culture, I find it much more plausible that this is to blame for their product issues. I don't need to hypothesize a big evil conspiracy to explain bad software.

In fact, that's true of almost every software organization. The James Bond joke [1] fell flat precisely because you don't need a James Bond villain to get buggy software. It's what you get by default.

When I was in high school I was told there’s not really any such thing as “can’t afford MIT” as in, if you get in, they will make sure you can pay for it through grants/loans/etc.

Was that never true? Has that changed? Or by “can’t afford” do you mean “unwilling to take on debt” which is valid ... I’m just trying to understand that part of your story.
It is! If you look around you, essentially all the mass you see is generated dynamically by QCD inside the nucleons. And while we believe we can write down all the rules for QCD, we can not solve the equations well enough that we can reliably predict outcomes (emergent properties, like the masses, size etc), except if we do lattice QCD, which is essentially a brute-force numerical solution.
That's correct. "serverless" does not mean "does not run on a server". It means the cloud provider handles server allocation. It's a misnomer.

It will not work for emergencies however that's not where most of the money is burned.

Most of the money is spent on non emergency medical care that can be priced using a phone or an email. That's exactly why medical tourism is possible.

It is a case of vertical capture: should you walk into a Mount Sinai hospital, the $600 MRI of Lennox Hill will cost you between $1800 and $2800. It will be done using the exact same MRI machine. The result will be sent to India probably to the exact same company that Lennox Hill sends the MRI for a radio tech readout, except that Mount Sinai MRI won't be available for 5-7 days vs. in an hour at Lennox Hill.

So why is Mount Sinai is able to charge that amount of money for an MRI? Because it is a vertical capture. Should you walk into a Mount Sinai it is extremely unlikely that you would go out of the hospital to get an MRI. They could probably charge $7,000 and still get 90% of the patients doing it.
They won't. By and large, people will simply do without these products because the equivalents will be too expensive for most people.

Case insensitivity for files in a unix-ish environment seems like a great idea, until you're searching PATH for an executable called "head", and both HEAD and head exist. Do you go for first match, or best match, falling back to case-insensitivity? Bonus points for the confusion that ensues when some of the file systems being checked are case sensitive and some are only case preserving.

My folks in the midwest built a couple of ponds in their back yard a few years back. They had some frogs move in, from parts unknown, before they were even complete. Their population has remained small and steady and, while they do obviously make some noise, they're not a nuisance.

I see worms and snails where I live in SoCal over the winter, spring, and early summer. When the rain stops, the marine layer keeps the grass and oftentimes sidewalks a little wet, which brings them out. They're never around when it starts to get really dry in the mid/late summer and through the fall. It's actually quite challenging to avoid them while walking on the sidewalks when we have rain.

I'm not trying to dismiss what you're saying, because I've lived in places in SoCal and the south where I haven't seen these things, as well. I'm only adding my own anecdata to the pile.

edit/ I meant to mention... When I lived along the central CA coast, we had a really large cohort of California Tiger Salamanders on our lot. It frightened me the first time that I saw one of them, I was convinced that it was a snake until I was able to relocate it. From then on, they were easy to spot. I'd reckon we had between 1 and 2 dozen of them year-round between the front and the back and our neighbors, that we spoke to, all had them, as well. Additionally, where I live today, we have _a lot_ of lizards and considerable insect life. We're close to the Santa Ana foothills on one side and a nature preserve on the other, and I'm sure that helps.

> I could have learned what I did in a much shorter time.

I sincerely doubt it. For learning the non-practical fundamentals of, say, computer science, there is no known learning environment that beats a university.

> Not a degree, but a trade school

So, only directly applicable skills, no theory and nuts-and-bolts fundamentals? Sounds far inferior to a bachelor's degree.

The software field is known for being open to talented autodidacts, in a way that, say, bridge engineering is not. That doesn't mean it makes sense to dismiss the benefits of quality formal education.

Someone with a decent bachelor's degree in computer science will have a depth and breadth of knowledge far in excess of where they'd be if they'd spent that time teaching themselves web development on the job.

> No BS courses like philosophy, social sciences, etc

Here in the UK, a STEM degree is quite 'pure', and you aren't expected to study topics like philosophy. That doesn't mean there's no value in studying them though. If philosophy struck you as a complete waste of time, then either it was taught badly, or you failed to make the most of it.

Thinking Fast and Slow is a good book that is not at all a cheesy self-help pamphlet. It's a review of some of the more surprising findings of behavioral economics, and a discussion of how we should and shouldn't rely on heuristics in our decision making. It does suffer a little bit in that some of the topics have failed replication, and it could be about half as long as it actually is.
Sure, but you can't guess who might be able to prove it. Are you going to offer WITSEC to every engineer who happens to disagree with their manager? Half the programmers I've ever worked with were annoyed by management and thought they were being asked to implement terrible decisions.

privacy, which is essential for security. currently your DNS requests are sent in the clear. and even if DNSSEC sort of guarantees the integrity and authenticity of the answers, it doesn't provide secrecy.

and yes, currently TLS (+SNI) leaks the domain name (server name in TLS parlance), but there's work being done on that and it's very likely that in a few years that leaky hole will be closed too.
That article seems to take a very specific stream implementation as the basis for those purported differences.

Do you mean that they canned Google+ because it was making no money?

Surely at any time they could add ads. They knew how many people were going there and how often. Therefore they then could make a good guess, from their other apps, at how much money it would make them if they were to add ads.

It must have been that after doing the math they thought it was not worth it. Or maybe they never meant it to make money directly, only to feed into their other products, which make money. Either way, they knew how many people were going there and how often, and decided it wasn't doing what they wanted it to do and that it could not make enough money even if they added in ads.

"I think the Dugarts ordered something wrong. Or a lot of things"

That's the only explanation that Mom could come up with. The drones had been buzzing overhead all day long. Dad was getting really annoyed when they kept coming at night. Like clockwork, every two minutes, for nine hours and counting.

One would come, drop off the medium sized box on the little 'Apiary TM', fly away, and hit the powerlines.

ZAAAAP.

The lights in the house would flicker, but nothing much past that. The drones, about a meter wide, with eight propellers and those little sick legs, started piling up in the Dugart's and Garcia's back yards. There were hundreds piled up now.

The cops came, and the firefighters too. Eventually PG&E guys came out to shut down the power, but they found that the line was the only one that was providing electricity to the Firehouse. So, to power was kept on. For safety reasons.

ZAAAAP.

Another one dropped the package, flew up, and promptly killed itself. Mrs. Dugart wouldn't tell Mom what was in the boxes. Her face got real red when I asked her. Must be something embarrassing.

Mom said that they tried calling it in, but the hotline directed them to an email to send. So, the cops sent an email. The reply email said it may take two weeks for a response. So the cops drove off. Then the firetrucks left.

ZAAAAP.

When Mrs. Dugart was tols to take her "Rookery TM" down, she thought it was a good idea. Then one of the drones tried to deliver the package to our house. Mrs. Dugart got really embarrassed then. So she put the little platform back up, this time with a tilt so that the packages would just slide off once delivered. She ran around trying to pick them all up just as soon as they landed, dodging the falling drones in her backyard.

ZAAAAP.

That's a pretty cursory understanding of how DNA works. The "Junk DNA" hypothesis has long been invalidated.

The non-coding genome is a large part of what causes us to look different from a mouse or a fruit-fly. Gene regulation (what gene to transcribe, and when) is largely controlled by non-coding DNA:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_of_gene_expression

There are energy costs associated with useless information being stored and transcribed in the genome... so it is pretty reasonable to believe that information theory does play some (however minor) role in how data is stored.
You are absolutely right, there is actually a whole panel of different techniques that aim at getting you accept offers you would not accept straight on.

I believe as a consumer it is important to be aware of those different manipulation techniques so you can step back and take a rational decision.

For example in case of call for sale, it should trigger an alarm telling you to walk away. If you have a high interest in the product and want to call anyway, make sure to know what price you are willing to pay BEFORE calling and do not commit to anything during the call.

Improving Bug Triage with User Pain (2008)
Wait, I thought the way this whole "shares and CEO's" thing was supposed to work is that Moldbug would get to decide that, and everything would work just fine afterwards.
That's the only time when one cannot get quotes. Depending on a location ( ave/st in NYC and a time of day ) the ambulance would take one to a specific emergency room in a specific hospital chain.

But again, that's not where most of medical services "waste" is occurring.
Also, it had an emergency cooling system (the isolation condenser) which could work passively without pumped water. Unfortunately the failsafe logic made the valves to the isolation condenser close when electricity was lost, and then without electric power the reactor operators could neither open the valves, nor monitor whether the valves were opened or closed, so it didn't work and the operators were confused about why.

> Because of the handful of truly outstanding, even legendary, graduates the elite schools have had that Middle-of-Nowhere State hasn't.

But I can equally say the same for the handful of truly outstanding, even legendary people who never even graduated from college. This is still one of those perpetuated beliefs that just because you spent 4+ years worth of time, effort, and money to get a degree you are more likely to be better than others.

I think it's possible you'll have an easier time finding what you want if you look to the good colleges -- but only because the graduates who went there accepted the same belief that the employers do: that you need the degree to get a job. Chicken and the egg problem? Yeah, but I think it's slowly starting to change. It just takes enough young people to show the world that university is NOT needed, only the perseverance and love for what you do.
"If anything, they should have designed it such that it follows an IP style system where you get more precise/specific with each period..."

I think it is interesting that you say that, because I see this system as DNS system on top of IP.

So latlong is your IP, and W3W is your human-readable domain name.

Which begs the question: would a better system involve letting people pay to register names that point to latlongs? There is a free tier that are an open-source list of names for the entire globe, but companies could pay to have names like "free.tacos.here" point to their locations.
I think many places have seen this problem and are actively trying to solve it. I know several spousal hires.

To the contrary, commercial insurance is often written to explicitly factor in the amount of claims that occur during the policy term, e.g. using retrospective rating[0]. Additionally, commercial underwriters typically have much more legal latitude in what they can consider when deciding whether—and for how much—to offer a policy contract: all states in the US have very strict rules about which sorts of claims can be considered when determining home and auto insurance rates for individuals (e.g. not-at-fault accidents and certain classes of weather damage are typically excluded)[1].

That being said, the brunt of the risk associated with a hiring decision lies with the employee in most situations (certainly in all the ones I’ve encountered personally working in retail and as a white-collar professional) in the US, and I would have to see some pretty startling numbers for an implied increase in insurance premiums to get anywhere near tipping that balance.

> In fact, it's often more expensive to take an Amtrak train from New York City to Boston than to fly. Why does the US, a country that created billionaire railroad tycoons, have such an expensive and inefficient train system?

Japan has the most efficient train system in the world. For example, in the next half hour there are four bullet trains departing from Tokyo to Osaka (550 km), each taking less than 2:40. There's no need to buy in advance, no long security or boarding lines: you just go to the station whenever, buy a ticket, and get on the next train.

The train service is extremely popular, likely each of the trains I mentioned will be at least half full.

Nevertheless, flying is cheaper.
