At the same time doctors are given immense authority and depending on circumstance very limited oversight in their administration of care. People will go to three different practices and get radically different diagnosis and prescriptions. There are substantive and documented biases amongst medical practitioners as well, including how women are substantially less likely to be treated for a heart attack because many doctors don't believe their reported symptoms.

Medicine is also a precipitously massive field of study and in the same way a programmer isn't expected to know every language and technology - hell, most are not expected to understand even the full breadth of the standard library or code base they are presently working in - few doctors are actually as informed as they like to act. A lot of it is cultural, doctors are supposed to be authoritative, but the US has a very problematic medical culture of assumed authority that has people putting blind faith in doctors who "trust their instincts" and end up being completely wrong and hurting people for it.

Remember that medical malpractice lawsuits are still overseen by a judge. If there is a settlement, there often was a mistake made. The solution to malpractice costs is not have doctors make mistakes but to reduce how often mistakes happen.

A lot of those remedies require a reform of culture though, and that is one of the hardest challenges to approach. And don't think I'm just "blaming" practicing doctors here, its structural to the industry and is why MDs are being put on 18 hour highly stressful shifts where its unbelievable they make as few mistakes as they do in such unreasonable working environments.
Does anyone know how this compares with AMD's Infinity Fabric? How is it similar or different from it?
In a sense, wasn't the choice to not negotiate drug costs itself the result of a negotiation? I believe the way it works is that health insurers and providers threaten to fund fear-mongering attack ads against politicians who support laws that don't like. The politicians cave and carve out rules for the industry.

So it's not that the Medicare drug care costs aren't negotiated, its that the chance for lower costs was traded away by Congresspeople of the past (many of whom aren't in office anymore) in exchange for campaign funds. Not literally a campaign fund check, of course, but countering an attack ad costs campaign money that they could be spending otherwise.
Edit:

You are technically correct. AirBnB is letting/renting in the broad definition. This broad definition also includes renting a Jackhammer from a trade store, or using one of those pay as you go scooters on the street.

However to use such a broad definition, I am not sure what your original point was.

My point is that there is a big difference between "letting" as what it normally refers to in this context - a lease agreement for people to live in a residential property, with tenants rights implied, and some law covering this area and AirBnB which is more like a hotel service.

Here's one of their statements about free speech from six years ago. It's essentially what I've always thought of as their brand.

It's sad to see them compromise their principles, but sometimes it only takes one little Twitter mob to make people back down. That's why it's reasonable to question their character.

Cloudflare has made pretty clear in this thread that they don't plan on stopping the IP from being exposed, they also plan to expose to all sites, even the ones on non-CF networks.
Hmm, interesting. I really just did it without much thought, I didn't think it was particularly unusual behaviour.

That said, this completely makes sense, I'm definitely going to look at that. I could fairly easily swap the 'sign up for updates' in directly in place of the download button when that's clicked I think, which would avoid the extra page and the modal all together, make everything much nicer, and still give keen users a clear opportunity to properly follow the project.

Thanks! Great point.

Sorry, it seems I forgot to put the word "like" in there, as in similar to.

I understand it's not patenting facial recognition in general, just in the specific case of using facial rec or other techniques (which the lawyers called transfer criteria/subject identification) to identify subjects of images before filtering by subject and transferring them wirelessly.

I stand by the meaning of the simile though. There's nothing original enough to be patentable in that claim.

A specific method for doing facial recognition should be patentable. "Use facial rec to identify individuals in images, then filter for specific individuals, then transfer those images" should not. If we allow patents on use cases, every use case will be patented and eventually the trolls will have a collection of patents that together cover the very idea of recognizing faces.
I'm wondering to what extent cleaning sponges are responsible? they are used a lot longer and endure repeated scrubbing sessions.

The rootfs in stored in the booloader partition and in the initramfs. As for NFS, I can see us adding support for that, but the out of the box experience for Talos in any of clouds will be painful if we exclusively require NFS.

Since we adhere to the KSPP (https://kernsec.org/wiki/index.php/Kernel_Self_Protection_Pr...) guidelines, kexec is not an option unfortunately. We thought about this early on, but opted to follow KSPP over using kexec.
Clickbait, but thanks for playing.
I'm very glad you pointed that out; I mean, jparks makes the same claim you make - that salaries aren't the problem - and doesn't address the artificial restriction of doctors at all. In other words, he fails to refute the "AMA isn't a cartel" claim. If you prevent the AMA from artificially restricting doctor supply, the overall cost of health care drops significantly, and the health of the population increases considerably.

As a consequence of the overwhelmingly positive benefit of lifting the artificial supply of MD (or DO), doctor salaries will naturally drop, as necessitated by economics.

> It will not hide your IP address from the websites you visit.

This is an interesting design choice.

I'm sure the idea here is to reduce the number of abuse complaints directed to Cloudflare, but it also seems to significantly reduce the value of the service.

I'm excited to try WARP, but without IP masking, I'll need to keep paying for a commercial VPN service. If I'm already paying for a commercial VPN, I don't see why I'd ever use WARP.

That said, I definitely trust Cloudflare more than PIA/NordVPN/etc. Some more "bulletproof" providers like Mullvad are probably even more trustworthy, but I don't think Cloudflare is going to mine (or sell) my data.

At this point, I'm just not sure what use-case WARP would really fill for me.

I have not; I was expecting it, given the amount of modifications from Bromite patches (which is zero, as far as I understood).

> I think /e/ is different from MS or Google in that it's possible to swap out most of the integrations with your own servers (it's all a bunch of glued-together open source services, after all).

It's that "most" that corrupts the intent.

Sorry, I will avoid discussing this, it has all the clues to become an endless and inconclusive talk :)

In short: yes, I agree with you, and still do not care about "mainstream or non-technical cult status" at all.

Whenever I see this kind of "news" I imagine how the news must have looked like when cars replaced horses.
While I was calling you out for essentially making up numbers, I noticed that my [1] link above contains the global energy consumed in 2004. I decided to look for more recent numbers, and on this page[1] found that estimated world energy consumption was 5.67 x 10^20 joules.

Let's convert that to wind speed:

E = 1/2 m x v^2
5.67 x 10^20 = 1 / 2 x 5.15 x 10^18 x v^2
5.67 x 10^2 = 1/ 2 x 5.15 x v^2
1.134 x 10^3 = 5.15 x v^2
2.2 x 10 ^ 2 = v^2
14.8 = v

So we'd expect that if all the world's energy came from wind, it would reduce wind speed in the world by an average of 14.8 m/s.

For comparison, average wind speed in Chicago, the windy city, from 2010 to present was 9.9 miles/hour[2] = 4.43 m/s.

Before you lose your calm, and conclude that wind power is evil, let me reiterate, back of napkin math STILL shouldn't convince anyone of anything. I'm merely posting this to show that back of napkin math can be used to calculate much different results.

Like I said somewhere else, I also think a lot of people would graduate from MIT if they were admitted. A 75th percentile student at my undergrad (someone the admissions committee would definitely consider consider "inherently inferior") would probably get a 3.5/5 at MIT and graduate. That's my bet at least.

You wouldn't want to let people filter by an unindexed field, sort huge large result sets, or make your server store a huge result set because they stop making requests after getting the first few pages. GraphQL lets you express what is permitted, without allowing more than your underlying data store can support.

For example, from the GitHub GraphQL API you can in a single request get all open pull requests on a repository and the last 10 comments on each one. You can't get the last 10 comments on all of GitHub or the last 10 comments made by a particular user, because they haven't exposed or even stored the data that way.

In a REST API that would be dozens of separate requests, or the endpoint would just not exist because they have never had the need for that exact combination of records to be queryable.
not sure if it was mentioned, but I'll throw out recent other issue not often talked about - external dependencies/vendors.

"integrate with external API" - had a project where there were several external data sources (financial service providers) to import on a regular basis. One had an actual API, commercial service, good docs - took a few weeks.

The others are...

1. "hey, we'll send you a nightly file, except it's not always nightly, because it depends on someone running the job and if they're not here, you won't get it".

2. "here's our SOAP WSDL" - "this doesn't work" - "oh... try this other one" - "that doesn't work" - "try this one, but just don't use some of the endpoints cause they don't work" - "OK, but this doesn't really work either". Now... intersperse those sentence fragments with a minimum of 4 business days via email (sometimes going for a couple weeks because 'vacation' time).

3. X was working for 7 months, then stopped. "oh, we changed the file name and format of what we push to you yesterday". no warning, no documentation on what the change is. just... pissed off end users who are now saying "my data is wrong!"

Figuring out how to take data from a file or SOAP or REST endpoint and process it - that's not terribly hard. Figuring out how to deal with more than half a dozen vendors who are not 'really' in the business of providing data, but do it half-assed anyway - there's no end to 'figuring it out', because it's a moving/changing target.

I'm not naming any negative names but I'll mention that quovo.com was comparatively pleasant to work with - they're an actual commercial service. however, less than a year after we coverted a system to use them, they were bought out and some of the useful functionality seems to be sunsetted already. I'm not on that project directly anymore, but talk to some colleagues still involved in it.

From the client's standpoint, it's all "integrate with external data providers". "You did one, the others can't be that hard". But each provider is a completely separate island of functionality, documentation, responsiveness and professionalism.

For the record, no, you shouldn't be providing me with client SSNs as their identifiers (quovo didn't, but I'm surprised at others that do, in at least one case that's the only way they provide client identifier data at all).
I got really interested in the soroban at one point, and taught myself how to do basic arithmetic on it, with the ultimate goal of being able to do quick mental math. Unfortunately, I got bored after a while and never did achieve my ultimate objective and now don't really remember how to do it. It's one of those "use it or lose it" skills.

However, I do still have links to some of my favorite videos showing some really amazing soroban or flash anazn feats:

Soroban - All in the mind[1], Flash Anzan at the All-Japan National Soroban Championship 2012[2], and Mental Arithmetic World Champion - Flash Anzan[3]

There's an excellent, free book on it: Abaucs: Mystery of the Bead[4]

r/soroban and r/mentalmath are worth peeking in to.

I also really enjoyed reading a blog called Going Gaijin, written by a woman who took formal soroban classes in Japan.[5]

There are a lot of cheap, decent sorobans on amazon and ebay, if you want a physical device. I also found the "Simple Soroban" Android app to be useful for practice.

The salaries given relate back to expenses paid. Doctors in Europe broadly don't pay anything for medical school and thus don't have a mcmansion of debt to recoup after graduating.

Developers throughout Europe find their salaries regularly pegged to cost of living wherever they are. In the US salaries are distorted for 2 reasons - most major global tech companies are here and thus there is higher demand for developers here than elsewhere - and two that those tech companes congregate in the most expensive cost of living places on Earth due to NIMBYism and Americas broken city planning culture.

In general almost everyone in the US is paid, comparatively, more than their European counterparts because their raw income has to afford to cover potential medical expenses that nobody else abroad has to contend with. Americans also get much reduced food, utilities, and housing benefits compared to the broader first world.

LoRaWAN fits exactly this use-case and depending on the region, can operate on any of the ISM bands. This article is very bare on technical details, but I'm so confused. LoRa's made so much effort in this space by literally mapping out every single ISM band they can (sub-GHz) and reaching out to regulators where they couldn't find a compatible match. Amazon can't possible think 900 MHz device is "free" globally.

Reminds me of a time I was searching for parking in downtown Washington, DC. Block after block was full. I eventually came to a street that had no cars parked at all. Jackpot, right? Must be some obscure rule prohibiting parking there. I kept looking. Still no luck, so I finally went back to the empty street. I carefully studied the signs and concluded that it was legal to park there. I got out of my car and paid. By the time I was done paying, the entire block was full of parked cars!

"the strange phenomenon with fad diets where they seem to work well for early adopters and not so well after they catch on. In the early stages of a fad diet, food manufacturers haven't caught on, and dieters are forced to prepare food from scratch. In the later stages, you buy the frozen bag of "paleo" chicken nuggets from the freezer aisle or you unseal a quart of "vegan" milk in the morning when you have coffee. These products are not the same thing eaten by someone who cut up raw chicken and rolled it in cashew flour, or someone who blended their own almond-milk. "

This is a great hypothesis that's worth testing. I'd love to see some market research evaluating how many people at the real thing in specific amounts vs shifted to processed foods that merely had the label. Then, also if they overate those foods due to the convenience or taste.

Generally a hybrid of energy solutions gives the best possibility of sustained development, though you're right to point to the difference in average cost. Possible though that you're conflating an average wind price with a specific nuclear price? That's apples and oranges. Compare the London offshore array (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Array) cost per MWh directly to the Hinkley Point C nuclear plant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinkley_Point_C_nuclear_power_...).

Lastly, note the borrowing rate for the nuclear plant was extremely high. That would certainly have been part of the problem in financial expenditures.

According to December 2017 estimates, Hinkley is being built for £20.3bn by 2025, to be paid over a 35 year period.[10] According to Dieter Helm, professor of Energy Policy at the University of Oxford, "Hinkley Point C would have been roughly half the cost if the government had been borrowing the money to build it at 2%, rather than EDF's cost of capital, which was 9%."

This is the key point in your claim that was not clear in your top-level comment, which is the source of the confusion/dispute. (I have no idea who is right.) Consider editing your top-level comment to clarify this claim (with an edit flag) and, ideally, link to somewhere that backs it up.

For instance, even if you're right it probably means that China is subsidizing the shipping to the distribution point, which would be an important thing to understand.
