...I really don’t agree with that counter. Many, and probably most, governments on this earth today have divergent understandings of money and power. You can be rich in Russia, but that money can be easily rendered worthless by somebody pointing a gun at you or your family. There is no comfort in being rich if you are not politically connected, and even then you have to be more connected than the other guy otherwise you are dead. Stalin didn’t even carry a wallet; why bother when you can just say “see that rich guy? Kill him and bring me his money, I want to buy a bagel”.

In the U.S., there’s corruption and racism sure, but by and large money and power are congruent. The business community opposed Trumps’s response to Charlottesville because a rich black man stood up and said that’s not okay. That’s because democratic governments follow rules. You have green paper; here’s a coffee. Oh you’re black and it’s 1960? Let’s change the written rules so you can get coffee in any shop. Authoritarian governments have “rules” and rules. You have green paper? Too bad, you said something in newspaper and I am afraid of the government, so no coffee for you.

That’s what really grinds my gears about people breaking a societal paradigm like currency. Not just a fundamental misunderstanding of micro and macroeconomics (one guy on another thread said stealing money from a crypto exchange reduces the money supply and can be monetary policy), but also increasing the amount of societal chaos. How do you advance in life when common law will not protect your property?

Yes sir, sorry Dan.

Does saying a website doesn't work with JS disabled count as flamebait? This feels like a flamewar to me.
It's not about hardline blocking javascript and never running a single line of code. I run NoScript (probably similar to the parent) and block all javascript by default because I don't want anyone else executing code on my machine unless I say so. I selectively enable only the JS that is required. For HN that means enabling one file with about 150 lines of surprisingly clear code.

I had the same experience as the parent in that I could not read anything unless I enabled a ton of files and once the content became readable it was stuttering all the time while scrolling. In 2019, on a beefy 8 core machine with 32GB of memory.
Awareness of pricing will be the single biggest contributer towards reducing price. If I'm only aware of the price after services rendered how am I supposed to discriminate among my options?
You're talking about the non-shoppable expenses. Those would be handled the same way that they are now.

But most expenses are pretty predictable, like the colonoscopies that I have to get periodically (and which I do shop around for, altho it's damn difficult). Yeah, if there's a bowel perforation all bets are off, but that happens 1/1000 times.
There are at least four sides when it comes to sealing documents though, the two parties in court, the state and the public.

Somewhat related: there's apparently some question as to whether the availability of Naloxone actually increases risky behavior among drug users, based on a concept called 'moral hazard': https://www.annemergmed.com/article/S0196-0644(18)30457-8/fu...
As noted in the article, the study was unable to distinguish between causation and correlation. This study is further complicated by its failure to find a correlation between anticholinergic antihistamines and dementia that IIRC was noted in the earlier study pointed to by a sibling. That other study specifically noted the use of anticholinergics in controlling certain prodromal symptoms of dementia which leads back to the causation/correlation uncertainty and the desperate need to resolve the uncertainty.

Increasing the Awareness of the Dunning-Kruger Effect (2014)

> They also can't just move out of cold climates and buy high-efficiency windows whenever they like. And many of them live in rural places where they do drive inefficient vehicles and have almost no public transportation.

Except that they get a big tax credit with which they can buy high-efficiency windows and a more efficient vehicle. Which then saves them even more in the long run because it remains more efficient indefinitely.

Moreover, the argument you're making is that regions that use more carbon will be impacted more by measures to reduce carbon emissions. No kidding. That's true of any solution. But what does that have to do with income level? If anything it's the opposite -- there are more affluent people in cold places like the Northeast and suburbs with poor mass transit, and more poor people in the South and Southwest where it's warmer and commutes are shorter for the poor because real estate costs less so people can live closer to their jobs.

> A free market does not require any of this.

In theory, no, but in practice market failure is usually due to information asymmetry and consolidation. The real world is, unfortunately, not full of that economists call "perfect competitors".

> in a free market the consumer is free to choose different options if given producer does not adhere to their personal standards

This requires information symmetry -- per Wikipedia, a free market is "a system in which the prices for goods and services are determined by the open market". How can the this work if pricing information isn't available to one side of the market?

> A free market does not require a government ruling them to adhere to some business practices

Free markets in practice require legal guardrails around things such as information symmetry and anticompetitive behavior, in order to protect against market failure. Again, per Wikipedia: "[free markets] require a framework that allows new market entrants".

This regulation is not for its own sake, but _to keep a market free (i.e., open to competition) by protecting it from the grasp of one extremely powerful entity going forward_.
Are you sure it's illegal? Like 80+ percent of the doctors in my metro area got their degrees in India (where they immigrated from). There is some form of reciprocity going on.
It's fairly standard Physics jargon. Physicists don't like saying the word "impossible", because there's always someone out there that can't stand hyperbole. So they often refer to something as "not likely to happen within the age of the universe" rather than "impossible", hence the 13.8bn year estimate here.
Yeah most of the things you've mentioned you've gotten better are the things I've noticed too. On smaller team that I run or am in a sr. position it seems to make a big difference. But on larger teams(100+) where I'm just plugged in as staff augmentation it makes a smaller difference.

Sometimes your job is just transforming fairly well articulated requirements into code and on these I notice I haven't gotten a lot better than I was 4-5 years ago.
I've been saying this for years. The only way that our healthcare is truly capitalistic is that someone makes a profit. When I got appendicitis a few months ago, it's not like I went on Yelp and searched for the best prices and and reviews; I went to the hospital that was closest, and prayed that it was covered by my insurance.
I know that you're not intentionally being condescending, but it definitely comes across that way.

What you are describing is yet another way to make the testing stricter. Legally optimizing for the driving cycle will always be possible so adding an extra measurement that compares the test cycle with some real world driving is yet another hurdle to pass. You are somehow assuming that the conformity factor will increase over time but the quote says that it should go down from 2.1x to 1.5x, once again making the test even stricter.

I don't see any evidence that they "knew all along" but this discussion is very common. We've seen it as well with the financial crisis. A set of people get discovered committing fraud and yet the discussion quickly shifts to how the regulators didn't do enough to stop it. Regulators are often inept and regulatory capture does exist. But if regulators were asleep or even worse complicit does not in any way excuse VW. In fact the complete opposite is true. If the industry somehow subverted regulation then that's an additional crime and not in any way a reason to throw up our hands and say "everyone was doing it, the regulators knew all along, that's life".

I'm not saying this at all. My original comment was a reply to vmurthy whose comment was specifically about discounting a raised price, and my response to him states that I'm commenting about that specific sales tactic.

For the record, I am against any practice that unnecessarily hides the price one is paying or makes buttons confusing and other "dark" UI patterns. However, if the price one is paying is clearly visible, I see no reason to regulate anything else regarding that price, such as x% off or limited time offer or that nonsense.
Kidzania in the UK has a donated giant plane for kids to pretend to be pilots and stewards. The parents sit inside as passengers and get served plastic food. It's so cute.
The reason I'm skeptical of this is that there is no actual comparison to human level performance. I.E. they didn't have radiologist actually read their images to compare against the model. Notice that the title of the paper is "Predicting Breast Cancer by Applying Deep Learning to Linked Health Records and Mammograms" it's only in the press release that they seem to imply a comparison to radiologists was actually done.
I was lucky to date a girl who was into math, and who was coding those "machine learning" algorithms for a radiology startup here in Shenzhen.

She had a lot of scepticism for what she did. One of biggest showstoppers she said was the unpredictability of errors.

An algo can catch 99% tumors, including tiny ones, bur can randomly pass over very obvious ones which a human radiologist will spot with his eyes closed.

They had a demo day with radiologists, and them throwing tricky edge case xrays at the computer. Edge cases were all ok, but one radiologist pulled his own xray from his bag, with a 100% obvious, terminal stage tumor, and to company's embarrassment, the algo failed to detect it no mater how they twisted and scaled the xray. The guy then just walked out.

I mean, opioids clearly work; but they come at an extremely high in terms of addiction and risk of overdose. Morphine works; we just only prescribe it at EOL now because we know its so addictive it will kill.

Where if cannabis or cbd have even an anecdotal placebo effect, it is not currently leading to high risk of overdose.

In a larger organizational setting, your manager probably has a title that reflects their level and/or seniority, such as principal or general manager. Or at the very least they'll have something in their business card, like product manager of foo.

When you talk to your manager, are you consciously aware of their title? Do they speak to you with that clout? Do you filter what you say based on that?
>This is very much Oracle

This is very much large companies.
The backend of this isn't any better.

They've been outsourcing significant amounts of this to secondary companies (e.g. Easter Seals, BHPN), which then outsource the work to smaller agencies. This turns into the smaller agencies fighting for basic services on behalf of clients.

There are regular mandatory meetings (monthly I think) where execs from Kaiser and the intermediaries announce breaking changes, or straight out berate the group of providers for doing their job, or for not doing things that aren't their job. They like to change coding rules without telling people and then blaming them for not coding properly. They also like to force companies to follow rules, especially when it doesn't particularly make sense (like carrying insurance for injuries to customers when customers aren't allowed on-site).

Then after all of that they'll arbitrarily hold payment as long as the possibly can. A couple of the smaller agencies in our area have gone under because they couldn't pay staff while they waited for checks. We've seen them delay payment by over a year after services were billed.

The only real strategy in this case is to spread out your customers by insurance provider. Unfortunately that means turning very needful customers away, because you can't become too reliant on any one funding source.

I became productive with Reason probably around 5 years after I started noodling. Learning the sequencer inside and out was critical, and somehow the less obvious part of the system, as it breaks the physical metaphor - everything else is boxes connecting to other boxes, but the sequencer has no physical representation, no back-side where note lanes connect gate/CV to the synth, just magical software connections.

5 years after that I was releasing stuff that maybe, someone might want to listen to. Could have been a lot quicker with some training as opposed to just continually messing around with it.

I think in another few years I will have something that actually sounds good, sonically. Mastering is the hardest part so far.

In the case of a broken shoulder (collarbone), the ER often does some X-rays, puts you in a sling, prescribes painkillers, and sends you home.

You find a specialist the next day. And if you require surgery, that's another day or two. There's no reason you couldn't do a cursory sanity-check on pricing in this case (if pricing info was easily accessible).
Ways to Grow Supply in a Marketplace
The same kind of issues can't possibly apply to Airbnb, because no one can steal your house and run away with it. "Voluntary Parting" is the unfortunate case that is difficult to cover with insurance, unless Kitsplit decides to put aside money in the bank to cover these costs themselves. And Uber doesn't rent, so I don't think it's a 1:1 comparison here.

Agree that tone is hard, but regardless there is nothing constructive about the comment.
He's talking from the perspective of the UK, where he is a physician. The public health system in the UK has been under extreme and increasing stress. It's underfunded, understaffed, overburdened, and things are getting worse.

In a related article [1], it was mentioned that 70% of children with mental issues do not receive treatment because lack of resources - high rates of mental illness mean there's simply not enough healthcare to go around. Even those that do receive treatment end up facing "unacceptably long waits." The current ambitious goal in restructuring the system would still leave some 65% of those with diagnosed medical conditions, without treatment. Wiki also has a number of decent citations for further information. [2]

When things are provided through public funding there is an obligation of society to ensure that they are utilized in a sustainable way. If that obligation is not met, the systems become, quite tautologically, unsustainable.
