If only the world were just. As you say, countries with legislature captured by farming lobbies are no longer subject to survival pressures.
Yes, prices will normalize to reflect actual cost and not a subsidized rate. This is the fair outcome.
And it is not just the generic, but the original too:

Stories like this are scary. My employer based health insurance has an $18,000 deductible before it starts to cover 70% of approved, in-network bills. One visit to ER could easily cost me $20,000. A simple doctor visit can range from $150 to $1000. The effect is that any doctor visit is viewed as a last resort option.
Technically FDA handles supplements and foods too, but they're really too small to handle the volume of this market.
As costs go up and fashions change as does the interiors of restaurants. Gone are the "soft" things like plants, carpets, dropped ceilings, and plush furniture. More common these days is hardwood, cement, steel, glass, and exposed ceilings.

It's no coincidence that louder often means spending more on drinks and quicker table turn overs. So the noisy places are out competing the quieter places.

Sad, I find about half and 75% of places are unacceptably loud during normal peak hours. Fortunately google displays how popular a place is (if often varies by business) so I can go off peak.

Multiplexing in the brain is apparently achieved by maintaining a high and low (theta) peak frequency -- when at a ratio of the golden mean, each separate period of high activity doesn't interfere with the other. Makes sense, when you think about brainwave bands being harmonics (frequency doublings), as that is what permits frequency coupling-- whereas irrational ratios prevent coupling.

WeWork has close to 300K members and they've been growing massively. I'm not sure how much they charge on average but lets assume it is at least around 300 dollars per month; probably more.

So, that should generate up to 100M per month and well over a billion a year. They're reported revenues are actually closer to 2 billion. So, obviously they either make way more per user or I missed something here. Either way, this is apparently generating quite nice revenue.

They have cost of course but it does not sound like a horrible business. They charge a premium to their users and from what I've seen in various locations in Berlin and SFO, they tend to cram in a lot of people in their locations and maximize the usage of the spaces they lease. So, I'd say it's safe to say that each We Work location ought to be profitable with some nice margins.

From what I understand the reason they are burning cash is simply rapid growth. They are investing every penny they can get in more locations. Based on all of this. A valuation of 10B for a company that seems on track to grow to billions in profit per year sounds on the low side to me. Also, with that kind of revenue, they should increasingly be able to fund growth from their own revenues.

Long term threats to WeWork's business exist of course. Fundamentally they don't have a lot of tech or intellectual property protecting them from competitors. Most of their competitive advantage simply comes from their scale and presumably optimized operations and access to capital.

I'd say it's similar to the hotel business which is also dominated by big chains of hotels. So, long term you'd expect more competition to emerge and a race to the bottom in terms of prices and operational cost. E.g. the Hilton group owns hundreds of hotels world wide with probably tens of thousands of beds and seems roughly comparable to wework in terms of number of buildings and revenue. The only difference is of course that they've been around for very long whereas WeWork has existed less than a decade. Fundamentally, if they mature a bit there's no good reason why they should not be massively profitable even if they get a bit of competition; which they currently only have from much smaller companies.
If This Picture Is Blurry, Your Posture Sucks
It is difficult to determine what exactly the 'mistake' was in this post.
The sort answer is California Business and Professions Code 2417.5, but thats probably not exactly what you meant.

Most (all?) states forbid whats called the "Corporate Practice of Medicine." The idea is that profit motive of a corporation can lead the corporation to manage physicians contrary to the interests of their patients. To mitigate this, states only allow certain business models for physicians:

* Sole Proprietorships - they can work for them selves

* Professional Corporations - a restricted sort of corporation that requires all shareholders and executives to hold a license for the profession the corporation practices (ie, they all must be physicians)

* Some states have exceptions for research universities, public hospitals, non-profits, and other sorts of organizations.

The exact restrictions of course vary from state to state. Here's a state-by-state rundown: [1]

Its my understanding that analogous restrictions are common for other licensed professions such as law and accounting, but I know much less there.

In my opinion the “solution” is to just make every pound of CO2 cost, well, its actual cost. It wouldn’t bother me if a factory uses more CO2 than an individual, or even if a meat eater uses more CO2 than a vegan, as long as every party is paying the actual societal cost of the CO2.

In the particular sentence I was refering to the context seemed to be retro 2D games vs 3D games (from Doom to Forenite). It was not 3D games on 2D screens vs 3D games in VR or at least that's how I took it.

Even if it was about 3D on 2D screens vs 3D in VR, VR wins in almost every case (except market share, haha). Put a non-gamer in a well designed 6DOF VR game with hand controllers and they'll pick it up immediately because instead of having to learn how to control the camera they just look, and instead of having to learn which of the 8 buttons to press on their Xbox/PS4 controller to do anything they just reach out and touch stuff.

Anacdata: My mother (77) and my step father (82) have both never played a video game in their lives. I'm not sure my mom has even played Pong or PacMac or Tetris but I brought a Oculus Rift home 2 years ago to show them and they were both enamored and wanted to know how much and where they could buy one. I advised them not to do it since it would likely be used for 2-3 days and then not touched (not enough content) but still, it was neat to see them pick it up easily.

Of course there are poorly designed VR experiences. The ones that use less controller buttons and more in world UIs arguably work best.

Understand that there are necessary and sufficient conditions. A sufficient condition for obesity is too high chronic caloric intake.
A necessary condition is retention of this surplus.
Some people will feel correctly full when they overeat high calorie foods, others only if volume is too big, yet others have the distended stomach where even that does not work. Some have hormonal deficit that makes them retain more (e.g. hypothyroidism) or counters satiety signaling. Others have very wasteful metabolism or digestion where less is retained. Some really do highly strenuous activities that just demand more energy.

Ultimately you set a caloric target with a carefully constructed diet and watch the long term weight slope over months. That's the science of it. Even high fat ad lib diets ultimately resulted in caloric input restriction, stronger than other diets they tried. (see Cambridge study)
There are there different entities that all work together: Kaiser Foundation Health Plan provides medical insurance. The Kaiser Foundation of Hospitals owns all the hospitals.

WeWork has $6.6B in cash and doing $2.5B in revenue. If I use 10X revenue multiple, they would be fairly priced at around $31B. Now, there is risks on debt load, leases etc but still considering their yoy growth and possible uptick in real estate in 10 year cycle, I still think they would be cheap at or below $30B. People often try to kick the person who is fallen a bit but by Buffet style rules they are good investment opportunity in this environment. They are real business, making real money and have real growth.

Nobody is glossing over it, it is subject of active research. Until that research produces any generally useful results (drugs, tests, treatments), the advice stays the same.

We know exactly one applicable test: thyroid hormone levels. This one is worth checking.

Eat less everything but more fresh vegetables, especially greens, exercise more. How much depends on how fat you are - not necessarily just overweight, body composition and fat percentage is more important and still reliably measurable.

"Toffee" kind of fat is a thing, where a thin looking and not very heavy person is actually fat inside, just lost muscle so weight stayed similar.

On the other hand, nobody wants people with big muscle mass to always cut diet to levels expected of show body builders.

Agreed, but I'd characterize all that as focusing on the "Calories In" part. That's complicated enough itself, and avoids implying that the entire situation is some trivial function.
For that, there's this: http://www.nohello.com/2013/01/please-dont-say-just-hello-in....
Completely agree. You'd think that when something like this happens, it would be followed up by a string of arrests. There is a total lack of accountability in this country. This country is totally corrupted.
The concept has just one niche I can see (besides people who are scared of flying)... getting into downtown SF before 8am without the chance of your flight being delayed due to fog. If you absolutely need to be at a meeting at 8am, currently you’re flying in the night before, grabbing an Uber from SFO to a hotel generally close to your morning meeting, hoping you’ll get a good night sleep and then dealing with the morning commute. You’re paying at least $300 in addition to the flight.

Of course the above scenario is just the tip of why I’m so excited about self driving RVs. Hop in at 8pm in your home town, work, watch TV until you’re ready to go to bed, wake up at your normal 6am, shower, get dressed, and step outside in front of the office at 7:45am. The RV departs, maybe driving itself “home”, while you work. At the end of the day, catch an Uber to the airport for a quick flight home... to be met at the airport by your RV, which whisks you home. You’re gone for under 24 hours from home, and were able to put in an 8+ hour day. Or, you take the RV all the way home, arriving at home by 8am. I’d buy one in a heartbeat if the price was around $0.20/mile. I might even consider using such an RV during a week long trip to the bay - using the RV as my hotel... having it drive out to Tracy each evening and parking in a Wal-Mart parking lot. Which in a strange way will alleviate Bay Area housing shortage - when you’re living in an RV, do you care how far away it’s parked from work if it’s self driving?

I remember when the iPad came out I was incredibly excited. This was surely perfect for RTS games!

There was Command & Conquer: Red Alert Mobile, then....

The only other one I remember was an actually really good StarCraft clone by Gameloft (I forget the name).

I always thought mobile would be great for RTS and then it just wasn't. Though when I think about it, the keyboard is pretty important and that kind of fast control is really difficult on a touchscreen, so maybe that explains the lack of 'classic' RTS games on touch devices.

It's just political suicide to use eminent domain these days, but if the political climate changes, maybe it'll be used again.

The power as written is pretty powerful and has only gotten more powerful and broad every time it's challenged in court. Since it's hard to argue that building a high speed rail isn't "public use", the only thing you'd be suing over would be the "just compensation" part.

I believe in that case, the government can take and use first, and you can lawsuit afterwards over how much money you think it's worth which really doesn't stall anything.

If the government can use eminent domain successfully take over land to give to private developers to build a mall, or even take it just to increase city revenues, it sure as hell can use it to build a train.

Gaining weight even when calorie controlled due to exercise is possible, but you will lose fat percentage while gaining muscle mass thus increasing base metabolic rate. Doubly good.

Which is why you should get one of the approximate fat percentage meters. (Clamp better than electric but less convenient.)
And maybe run a DEXA or volumetric body composition scan sometimes.

Another good easy measure is the belt size, for obese people. Smaller is better. Or waist/hip ratio. Requires a tape measure, that's it.

If you exercise and weight stays the same but belt size goes down, you're on the right track.
I live in a developing country ... Thailand.

Reading things like this, stories in this thread, and about how people are avoiding seeing the doctor because they're afraid of the bills ... makes me realize in some ways Thai people actually have a higher quality of life than many in US in this respect.

Costs are order of magnitude(s) lower. A night in the hospital is typically 5,000-10,000 baht or $166-$333. And the quality of care is at a good standard .. so much so that Thailand has become a Medical Tourism destination:

https://www.health-tourism.com/thailand-medical-tourism/

If you have some money, you can pay more for faster service and more attentive care at more expensive private hospitals.

And if you can't pay, you are still covered by Thailand's Universal Healthcare:

"What Thailand can teach the world about universal healthcare"
https://www.theguardian.com/health-revolution/2016/may/24/th...

"Thailand: At the forefront of Universal Health Coverage"
https://medium.com/health-for-all/thailand-at-the-forefront-...

Thailand is a relatively poor country, but we are still able to do this. In the US, I guess some people would rather die than admit needing help from the government ... or trying to clamp down on healthcare costs cause it would be too much 'regulation'?

It certainly did exist when I started my career a decade earlier than this guy. It was called the integration team, which was responsible for coordination of the release. In the 80ies.

It was also responsible for the build servers, the SCM, and checking and prioritizing all the different parts and fixes of the various dev teams, and checking back with the PM and testers. Only hackers did cowboy coding, companies preferred processes and best practices. That's it was called "Software Engineering" and not hacking.
