I have not read the article but I believe that usually routine exams are done with X Ray, because it is quicker and cheaper. However if something is a bit worrying, doctor may ask for a different type of exam, MRI or Ultrasound, to have some confirmation.

But since this is rarer people who have MRI are already people at risk, so it makes sense to have a higher rate of biopsy in the end.

What say they of matriarchal societies that thrive? Did the divine designer's magic fingers slip while assembling those?
- Use billing methods which are less likely to be used by scammers (e.g. likely not credit card).

- Keep a steady balance.

- Have luck (sad but true).

Minimum spend and similar might help with customer service (if they can see your spend). But most problems start with automated services.

Don't switch cloud providers every half year because another one is slightly cheaper now (i.e. have longer running/existing accounts), might help.

But most important make sure that you don't get locked in by the could provider

Even a permanent ban from the could provider should just cause some, not to high, short term (mony) loss. This means:

- Do not ~use~ relay on cloud providers proprietary tec (sure use there management console, etc. but don't integrate it into your business to tightly).

- Have control over your DNS names so that you can map them to different IP addresses if needed.

- Make sure you can migrate to a different cloud provider in matters of hours/days/weeks (depending on what you use it for) at any time.

- Have backups outside of the could provider for all your stuff.
- don't get trapped by doing backups on a different service of the same provider (e.g. Amazon) ;=)

In the end how much this costs you depend a lot on what you do and how you do it. And yes deciding and not doing any continous shot term investments taking the risk of loading everything is fine, you just should make the decision conscious.
>I'll toot my own theory and it is that nobody wants to pay for enough capable support staff, pay to keep the support staff at the ready often enough, pay support staff who want to stay in that role.

The crazy thing is that it's really not that expensive. AWS, for example, offers 24x7 support w/ <1 hour response time for production issues starting at $100 a month. At worst it's 10% of your bill.
That's a pretty general, sweeping claim to make without a source.

Which made me think: it would be cool if companies were doing "pre-mortems". Like: "today we had a configuration problem, but because of our defense in depth, it slowed our systems by 7.8%". Or maybe Googlers already have something like that internally?
I wouldn't be following their advice, I think the time limit is great and you should stick to it. 5-10MB of note data could be a lot, meaning you'd end up with users you've replied to that will never pay.

You live in Seattle, don't you? The reason I ask is because I feel more or less the same way.

I wake up at 6 am so that I can volunteer as a teaching assistant for public school CS classes.

I work with a dog rescue, spending weekends cleaning poop out of kennels and walking dogs.

And yet, native Seattleites will still accuse me of ruining "their" city. I doubt that most of these people make a fraction of the amount of effort that I do to contribute to the community. They just sit on their asses and complain on social media.
Yes (re. your edit), saw that (after seeing your link). The 4 / quatre stuff.
I agree that the costs are over-estimated. I think for me it is more the thing the sibling post pointed out of your risk profile changing dramatically when you have dependents. Most things in life these days, I don't really worry about how it will affect me, I worry how it will affect my wife / kids. Makes me much more cautious than I otherwise might have been.

I find that if I'm going to the gym to work out, I don't much talk to people - when I'm lifting or on the treadmill or whatever, I'm focused on what I'm doing, and everybody else seems to be in the same boat. However, if it's something like a pickup basketball or soccer game, there's always time when you are waiting around between games that there is time for people to interact and chit-chat. Even more so with something like softball, where half the game you have down-time sitting in the dugout waiting to get up to bat.
One could argue that any period of change, be it personal or societal, involves a period of anxiety and tumult, which is often an unavoidable part of growth/progress. Could we not be in exactly such a period?
Lets Stop Saying 'Cognitive Search'
Some authors such as Houellebecq count feminism as part of the atomising dynamic of neoliberalism. His idea is that sexuality becomes a parallel but no less commoditized market that works both bin tandem with and apart from the economic one. In this case the free choice of partners means that most people compete to get the attention of the partners with the best possible sexual capital, while many fail to have any partner at all if below a certain threshold of such capital.
> Authoritative leadership. Nakamoto filled this role historically...

I would argue the exact opposite. Satoshi's anonymity is a boon for Bitcoin. As long as he remains unknown, the project rises and falls on its own merits and market forces and consensus hold sway. We're he to be inserted into the picture, especially at this time, a dangerous dependency and cult of personality could arise. Not even going into the issue of what effect the billions of BTC in his name would have.
Add a local backup. Then again, Im biased :D
I'm beginning to wonder if we aren't collectively getting over our car fancy juuuusst a little bit. I'm old, I grew up in the Midwest, I like my vroom-vroom V8s and the like. But, man, I'm beginning to get so done with cars, ICEs at least. Part of the reason is because viable options are becoming available. We've had a Leaf for almost eight years, for example. Because of our ownership, I foresee the end of our owning things that run on tiny fuel explosions. Attrition will replace the ICEs we own now. If we need to drive any distance, we'll more than likely be driving the RV (which unfortunately will probably be ICE for quite a while).

Electric or not, I'm also getting kind of done with a 3500 lb. steel cage to get my scrawny ass the short drive to work. I've tried to use alternatives (and usually do), but the alternatives are kind of a pain, too. Motorcycle saves time (HOV lanes) if I go Redmond->Seattle, but I work in Bellevue now (next door to Redmond) and the motorcycle takes longer than the car with all the gearing up. Motorcycle isn't that much more ecologically-friendly than a car, either. Bicycle is nice, but I have a non-trivial hill both ways. A lot of days I don't mind, a lot of days I do. I get exercise, but it pretty much triples my otherwise 20 minute commute. But I still do it, it's fun and healthy and not bad.

I do my exercise when I'm home, so most days what I really want is an ecologically-friendly way to get to work that isn't a pain in the ass and doesn't take forever. I think my solution is an electric scooter. I bought a Xiaomi M365 and have ridden it the seven miles to work each day. It adds 15 minutes to a 20 minute commute, but instead of dealing with shitacular WA drivers, I cruise next to a river. I've enjoyed it enough in the past week, and it has proven itself to be practical enough, that I put a deposit down on one of Boosted's considerably better-built and more expensive scooters coming out soon. We'll see how it goes come Seattle winter.

My long-winded point isn't for everyone to go buy scooters, but rather (as the article points out), there are tons more options lately than just plopping your ass in a car seat. Not just pain-in-the-ass options, practical options. "Practical" being the key word. Lithium batteries might be the single greatest thing to get us out of our cars.
Visualization of the Rise of Partisanship
Them: “I hate all black people, we must solve the problem of brown-ness which is pervasive in our society .”

This commenter: “You should listen closely to the complaints of these people, they have legitimate concerns and you need to become an ally to help them tackle the problems they are mentioning. They are not directing hate at you in particular so you should not be personally offended.”
Are you an unreliable, selfish, and inconsiderate man? If the answer is yes, then it's an attack on you ... if however you work to be reliable, selfless, and considerate, then it's not an attack on you.

Surely, you have to acknowledge that throughout history, men have been quite terrible to women ... and yes, some of that exists still today. So that being the case, you _must_ understand that for many women out there, it's still a struggle to live their life in a way that is not negatively influenced by some men.

"Racial privilege" is the latest variation on "bourgeois privilege", and we all know how toxic that idea was. Maybe he doesn't want to play on the Maoist team, or be its "ally". That's okay too. No one should be forced to deal with that kind of toxic, negative messaging.

I didn't mean that to across the way it did. I know some doctors, and they are extremely intelligent people, but it's a selection bias due to the high educational requirements required to get into med school. I think my point is that you don't need to be extremely intelligent to learn or apply medicine. I'd say medicine is on par with engineering, but the requirements to become an engineer are way lower than the requirements to become a doctor.
It's easier to sell to lonely individuals than a satisfied family. Hence all the crazy pressure to work more and be less... human.

I think this is a pretty reasonable price and I fully expect to pre-order, but I'm disappointed that the games must be purchased a la carte. I'd much rather pay a higher monthly fee and be able to play any games I wanted. I'm not sure how much more I'd be willing to pay, but I just think that purchasing titles that I don't own doesn't fit well with the streaming paradigm.
Pay attention to the syntax, it's not an attack on all men. It's quite specifically an attack on "unreliable, selfish, and inconsiderate men."

These men do exist, and these men have historically used societal norms to trap women in marriages or work that was unfair. It's great that we are working toward a society which recognizes that this is harmful and allows these women to seek better opportunity for themselves!

White nationalists are the exact same thing on the other side. They’re awful, awful people who are trying to make others feel inferior. No part of me gives and quarter to those people. My hatred of being called a devil due to the color of my skin does NOT align me with those who want to do the same thing to others. Not at all.

And I’d rather be depressed forever than give any of those people any sort of solace. No.

> I'm sure that there are all sorts of dodgy pills ending up in unregistered pharmacies in the developing world, but do people in countries with functioning regulatory systems really need to worry about foreign-manufactured generics?

From Wikipedia[0]:

> According to Outsourcing Pharma in 2012, 75% of counterfeit drugs supplied worldwide had some origins in India, followed by 7% from Egypt and 6% from China.[12]

> ...

> Around 25% of India's drugs are fake, counterfeit or substandard.[16] If the fake drugs market grows at the current rate of 25%, it will cross US$10 billion mark by 2017.

There have been a number of proposals in the US, usually around election time, to import drugs from overseas in one way or another. It always boils down to this: drugs are cheaper if no one is checking quality control. That would be a disastrous public health mistake.

Anecdote; my kid is my greatest source of happiness.
I have many female friends in their mid-30s and early 40s, and the ones without kids are almost always sad/regretful about it themselves. Some won't admit it, but some will, especially in more intimate settings. I've had one cry on my shoulder - she is very successful professionally, but feels she missed out on the opportunity for motherhood.

Whether it was her "choice" is hard to say. Very few people get the chance to engineer their lives the way they want. Most people instead play the cards they are dealt. And now that there are many more different types of possible cards in the deck for women, they are coming to the understanding that it is possible to be dealt a bad hand, and not realize it until it is too late.
I thought Google was just search and a few services like Drive, Docs, Gmail etc Shouldn't Stadia fall under the branch of Alphabet and omit all instances of using 'Google' in their marketing? Why use the Google name for something not remotely related to search?
> Is there any tech in the controller?

Yes. The controller connects directly to your game instance over WiFi. It doesn't need to go through a box first and be relayed (this can shave a significant amount of latency off controller inputs).

> What "costs" $129 if there's a subscription model attached to this?

For $129 you get a controller ($69), a Chromecast Ultra ($60), 3 months of Stadia Pro ($30), the full Destiny 2 game with all the DLC ($?? I forget).

You may be confused with how Stadia Pro works. It's just like PS Plus, you occasionally get a free game or two and it enables you to play at 4K in 5.1 surround sound. Without Stadia Pro you can still play any Stadia game you own, without a fee.

> why wouldn't there be compatibility with Xbox or PS4 controllers?

But there is compatibility with XBox and PS4 controllers. It was in the video and in their original announcement. You just can't really use them with the Chromecast AFAIK but you can with any computer and some tablets / phones.

> but why try and reinvent the wheel with a new controller?

You can bring your own or use theirs for the best latency / game experience possible on Stadia.

There's an even major problem which the author hasn't mentioned. But I can understand if perhaps the author hasn't experienced it.

Medium embraces censorship. Medium has a content policy that's allows it to take sides. For example, Medium is very pro towards certain topics and anti against some. Eg. writing anything anti-feminism will get your account banned (even if presented with logical arguments, stats and facts). Medium will ban you for some dumb reason if you write anything pro-white people, Trump, Taiwan and sometimes Hongkong.

I know this because my friend wrote a stellar piece about a professor who openly expressed hatred towards males and who held a senior position in a university [1] and her account was banned the very next day.

To me, this seems like a strategy for Medium to become profitable by controlling/swaying people's opinions which is a much larger business than hosting blog content.

I actually think it is a strength or really being able to use Cython to compile Python into C/C++ is the strength. There aren't too many scripting languages where I can do very little work/setup to get C-like performance, and I can still use Python and its huge ecosystem. Nim looks interesting because it provides a simple, concise scripting language like Python but makes compiling to C/C++ dead simple. Nim is just missing that ecosystem.

When they first started they used FreeBSD jails IIRC.

The main selling point is/was being closer to the hardware and thus getting better hardware utilization. Virtualizing at the machine level was a lot slower (especially before Intel VT-x and AMD-V came along) and so one wouldn't lose (say) 30% right off the top:

Real wages, wages adjusted for inflation, have been flat. So people arent exactly getting poorer (on average) in the US. You're right to point some stuff out, medical care and housing have inflated at disproportionately high rates. Higher education as well, but that's elective. Problem is even in countries, like several European states, that offer state incentives or support or regulation to take the load off parents, birthrates are still low among the educated and well to do natives. In fact I'm pretty sure that's a general trend across the world, the poor and less educated are typically more likely to have kids than people who should be financial more capable of supporting kid, at least up to a certain level.

So economics is probably a weak explanation. Personal freedoms, especially for women, is probably the root cause of low birthrates.
I mentioned women since I was replying to a specific observation in the parent comment. It's difficult for men to "have it all" also. An advantage men generally have is more time to reproduce. They can spend a couple decades checking off the "professional career" box and then settle down in their 40s and have a family, and scale back work (or leverage prior accomplishments and position for forward autonomy and flexibility) at the same time to accommodate this new life. Although society is much more supportive of male parents than female parents in the workforce, when it comes down to it a man is no more capable of working (some obscene number of) hours/week professionally and "having it all" than a woman is. Workaholic men with stay at home spouses may appear to have more than they do, when in reality they may be guests in their own homes. You always have to sacrifice something.
calling ideologies religions is such a blanket statement that it makes no sense once you actually think about it.
