The article actually provides data that belies this line of argument. 50% of healthcare users account for 3% of the cost. Essentially all that preventative care or routine care is actually quite cheap on a systems level. It's not actually the driver for medical costs.

Chronically sick patients, older patients and patients with major events drive the costs. In this case an insurance model of some sort is appropriate. However, I'm increasingly unconvinced that private insurers without extremely tight regulation are the way to go. I'd choose something like Switzerland or Germany where you have a heavily regulated insurance market with price controls. They get better outcomes than we do at much better prices.

Granted the docs will take cash and bill you for less, but I'm not sure that's all that it seems on the surface. If you're insured your copay may end up being less than the cost you'd pay straight up, and the negotiated price between the insurer and provider may be lower still than what you'd see on a bill. You may still be ahead, but it's complicated.
Don't laugh. Mistakes happen, especially with body parts that we have two of, and it's heartbreaking when it does.

yep, at least until we get aneutronic fusion going with direct schema of electricity generation bypassing the heat engines, the fusion on Earth has no chances of competing with the most of the existing and especially solar/wind energy sources. Other than that the 2 most interesting potential applications are weapons and space propulsion. Those applications are better served by inertial confinement (laser, Z-machine, fusor, DPF) which historically been showing better results and usually at much lower costs (and even the high cost NIF can be redone today using modern solid state which would lower the cost/size dramatically) yet historically the resources have been poured into the huge systems like Tokamak.

Companies need to assume that their network is compromised.

Ignoring anything else that means they need to adopt E2E encryption for all user data (except where legally mandated to be insecure, or when the data has a fundamental need to be accessible - e.g. your bank needs to know how much money you have). Anything else, including dumbass politicians demanding magic crypto, makes your user data a valuable and achievable target.
This behavior will train users to believe that the www in domains isn't important, when it actually serves a very important purpose.

You can't cname example.org, which makes it very hard to use a CDN to serve it unless the CDN provides anycast ips or you delegate DNS to the CDN.

If they're intent on making the address bar useless, they may as well go full hog, like Apple does in desktop Safari -- the address bar shows the domain only, until you click.

Yes, if we allowed people that could not pay for treatment to die? That's the rub, right?

That (and similar) cases aren't adjudicated under GDPR. GDPR would apply to the police force / state government, not the individual officer.

I like the idea, but you are putting more weight behind the tooling than I would. I don't find translation tooling to be cumbersome, so especially if machine translations are free, I don't find the price point for human translations to be compelling.

What would be compelling is if you could pro-actively call out the bigger gotchas in translation - grammatical differences that make you change word orders, different mechanism for handling plurals, etc. If you could preemptively warn us, even before a "push" that we may hit a problem, I'd take a closer look. For example, flagging a line saying, "Hey, it looks like you are using phrasing that will be problematic in <Italian/Hindi/Russian/etc.> Here's why..."

As I said, I'm not a fan of the "life plus N years" copyright term, but that's what the world has settled on (see Berne copyright convention--note that the life+50 is present at least as early as 1908, maybe as far back as 1886).

In the US, the law essentially requires that copyright owners need to explicitly inform the Copyright Office of the author's death date, or at least of evidence that the author was alive at a given point of time. Without that evidence, there is a complete defense that the 95/120 term is in effect. (See https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/302).

If I can fill all my req's with amazingly talented, lovely and capable people, it doesn't really matter so much to me if there are other amazingly talented, lovely and capable people that get rejected unreasonably in the process (unless it starts to create reputational risk).

I think the bigger misalignment is the time horizons for success (placement vs successful performance), but that's something that'll get figured out as the interview companies build up their track records and keep track of how long their placements stay in their new jobs.
Haha, acid.

My (family) insurance plan carries a $2,000 monthly premium charge (which is far cheaper than the care we've received in the last year). I timed my last two departures to maintain coverage for the month, as its the only way I can get time between jobs without having to (immediately) purchase health insurance.

It would be nice to not have to do that, but in the grand scheme of things (less than) a month is not a very long period of time.

Per capita costs are in large part (though not completely) determined by how much providers charge. Why shouldn't we look at "doctor salaries"?
I fly private planes as a hobby and during my training that practice was kinda grilled in to me. After flying for a bit, you end up realizing how easy it is to "see" something incorrectly, or to skip an item, etc. Even when there's no one else in the plane with me, I say things out let, touch nobs to confirm their position even though I checked it earlier and didn't touch the nob at all at any portion in the flight. (Good) Pilot training will make you aware of just how much trouble your mind can get you into.

I think this really isn't the case. It's just that "rescue" has a different meaning. Instead to wait for migrants get into european waters and bring them on EU shores they use drones to alert neighbouring countries (i.e Libya) and stop them taking these dangerous journeys before getting in EU waters. Otherwise what use would the drones have? Watch and bet whether the migrants make it or not on EU shores?

I'm sure they probably are at some times. My only point was to say that there are situations where a statement from Yelp to the contrary doesn't really mean something isn't happening, with or without Yelp's informal approval, so it doesn't necessarily put the discussion to bed. It's just one more point of reference, and should be seen as such when people are making their own assessment of the situation.

Someone hearing complaints of Yelp coercing people shouldn't immediately believe it or believe it explains the whole situation, and neither should someone hearing Yelp's response. They are both possible insights into the actual reality of the situation, which may accurately describe part or al of that reality to varying degrees, and should be seen as exactly that.

Well, claiming that it is compliant even though it isn't, is false advertising, so that is how it should be applied, rather than requiring compliance even for the thing that isn't supposed to be. They already require warning labels on some stuff, so it should be required that warning label too, then, maybe.
I find it's best to think of and also communicate the research phase as stage of the project itself with a report at the end as a deliverable.

At the status meeting, talk about the stages you've accomplished so far ("I've completed scoping, looked at these three third-party components, etc").

When the research stage is done, write up a research report with what you did and the findings and present it to the team. This gives the rest of the team visibility into what you're doing. It's also very helpful months later when you question "why did we pick Foo?" because you can refer back and know exactly why you did.
There were (maybe still are) tons of such mesh networks run by small commercial operators in Germany's rural areas, usually using directional radio to create connections between villages and then meshing all the wifi consumer routers to span wifi over the village. They did that/do that because the major commercial providers (i.e. Telekom) weren't exactly fast laying fiber to these villages.

A buddy of mine used to run such a network spanning 3 villages with about 400 customers a bunch of years back. I seem to remember one of the directional antennas was strategically placed in some church tower.

They ran this as a two people operation. Extreme weather also was a problem for them, and they essentially learned network design by trial and error, starting out as a fully bridged network where everybody was in the same 10.0.0.0/8, NATed to the outside. They fixed that later. Customers only got like 3-4MBit/s from this mesh, which wasn't exactly fast but not too shabby either back then, especially considering the only alternative those villagers had was ISDN speeds (128kbit/s max I think). No LTE yet either.

They weren't alone either. There was a huge number of such operators who shared knowledge etc.

Once he started negotiating with those villages to lay fiber and provide DSL service all of the sudden the Telekom started fibering up "his" villages.

This is very insightful - what if you first created a formal plan with a bunch of checkboxes so that your status audience can see a steady moving progress bar. I've been there and agree if you keep saying the same thing people start to get nervous.

You should at least search Google, GitHub, Maven, NPM, etc. for libraries, SaaS vendors, or published algorithms that do what you're attempting to. "The best line of code is the one you didn't have to write."

Though there's a fair bit of subtlety in using them. There's nothing quite as bad as finding a framework that does 95% of what you want it to and will save you years of development effort, building your architecture around it, then getting 80% into development and finding out that there's no way to make it do the remaining 5% reliably and its developers have abandoned it precisely because of that shortcoming.

I'd rephrase: A network of blogs, whose articles are discoverable in the same way as good articles at Medium. Somehow takes into account what people actually stop and read.

But not a single website. It would, I think, sooner or later, go greedy and self destruct. A single point of failure.

> “Now he will be held accountable for the fraud and the lives he has derailed.”

Whoa there. What? Yes, he's committed a crime and should be held accountable for that. But..

Who's lives has he derailed? If I was to accept a bribe to commit a crime, nobody is derailing my life but me - to say anything else suggests a level of intelligence bordering on inability to understand and take responsibility for my actions. Can I use this defence for non bribery related crimes? How about assassin for hire?

Prosecute him for the crimes he committed and prosecute those who accepted bribes for their crimes. Theres just no reason to exaggerate like this.

Edit: And, to add, I dislike the discount / rental / lock in model the carriers use, but it does sound like crimes were committed.
Talking High Bandwidth with IBM’s Power10 Architect
While I am in favor of increasing competition among ISPs. I don't see how making it volunteer-based is actually good. All this does is take away presumably well-paying jobs from those who need them. IMO, a for-profit company developing a new mesh network would be more compelling. Not only would it provide local jobs, but it would also drive down the cost of internet for all. Somehow though, I feel this is a minority view.

I don't understand the goal of 0% platform specific code (on a lower power device where UX is very important) or even further being able to make a whole app without having to learn about the platform, being aware of its conventions and limitations.

I've never finished a React Native app without native code. I've done a few now and I've come to believe it's not worth even trying to avoid it and sometimes worthwhile to look for places where a little native module can yield performance or UI wins. React Native is the glue or orchestration and it is, to me, extremely good glue.

I haven't seen many people beyond the tutorial level suggest otherwise. It provides a common structure (which is enormously useful), and some quick consistency wins for simple stuff like your About Us screen.
They are but it is first and foremost to cut their own expenses for healthcare. If they can figure it out, they could eventually turn it into a business.

However, part of the cost in today's healthcare is not about the misaligned incentives it is about our need for convenience. We work closely with a hospital group that does over $1B in annual revenue. They built a bunch of UrgentCare facilities to try to lower costs and run a smaller ED unit. What they found is that the UC usage is high but the ED has barely decreased at all. People complain about cost and go the UC when their kid clearly has a cold and has had it for all of 4 hours. It costs a lot of money to build and staff these UCs. That is part of what makes healthcare so expensive. We want our health to be as convenient as Netflix. We want it all on-demand and instant satisfaction. It doesn't work that way, sometimes a virus just needs to run its course and your kid just needs rest. But we pay lots of money looking for magic fix anyway.
