>The demand for these drugs is almost completely inelastic, as it is driven by the statistical incidence of the underlying medical conditions.

There are many drugs for which this condition is weakened. Firstly, there are drugs for illnesses that could go untreated. Secondly, there are drugs which have alternatives. In these cases the demand is elastic. Not every drug is uniquely lifesaving with 100% efficacy, in fact a tiny minority are.
Actually in the 90s with Linux you could destroy your external screen by setting the wrong parameters. [1] It was really easy to destroy your partition table or mess up your whole configuration. I think this is the core difference with MacOS and Linux, really messing up your system is quite difficult. (And destroying hardware was never a thing with Apple :))

Well YouTube's actions is really unsurprising given that they have made it more unclear on which videos meet their Terms of Service. If that wasn't enough, creators also complained about 'The Algorithm' scanning their videos to demonetize or take down videos for the same reason.

At this point, It is worth looking at other alternatives such as Bitchute, PeerTube, etc with Patreon support to avoid this senseless behaviour that YouTube is doing to its creators.

If they can do it to creators with crazy conspiracy theorist videos or creators who have political opinion videos, YouTube can do it to anyone.
I think it's probably still not great if they're alone all the time. I think dogs and people both need something to strive for / work at / however you want to put it.
I like Slovakian approach. Price of drugs can't be higher than average of 5 cheapest EU countries where the drug is being sold. However we face re-exporting and sometimes unavailability. Also we have a new law where distributor will lose licence if the drug is un-available (recent update).

Hasn't Maxwell not mentioned Maxwell's equations when giving a speech about the state of the art of science? If a great scientist can be unsure about a theory, it's not surprising that an average reviewer can be, too.
"On the 737 Max (and most aircraft actually) there is a pitching moment that results in the engine nacelle producing lift. Most aircraft will do this to some extent - more power = increase in altitude for many aircraft."

Minor side note: More power is supposed to increase altitude. (An aircraft is trimmed for a given airspeed; adding power injects more energy into the system. Then, it doesn't go faster, it goes up. To go faster, lower the nose. To go faster without losing altitude, you lower the pitch and increase power.)

For aircraft with engines below the center of mass, thrust tries to rotate the aircraft upwards around the center of mass. In un-accelerated flight condition, this is counteracted by other forces. But adding thrust increases the force and causes the aircraft to pitch up to a new angle based on the new thrust. This is aside from the more power = more altitude effect.

A second-order effect is that the engine nacelles act aerodynamically. (They're wings, albeit poor ones.) When pitched up, they generate more lift. Because the 737 MAX's nacelles are in front of the wing, their increased lift causes another pitching up force.

None of these forces affect stability; the aircraft will arrive in another stable state shortly after you change the power. However, they can lead to other effects like the control force changes you clearly describe in other comments.

Ok, innocent question, having never worked in a giant tech company with a viable, popular product -- how do they deploy the massive amount of available engineering hours?

Do teams just work on random projects like the above while other people fix bugs? Is it like a million mini startups internally all pitching an idea to the CEO all the time?

Or do you need 90% of people focused on how to develop your product at first, then suddenly it flips and you need 90% of your engineers to balance enormous amounts of network traffic and data storage?
Exactly, thanks for clarifying my vagueness :)

> Report the maximum value.

In benchmarks, assuming you run the same workload each time, you often want the minimum value. Anything else just tells you how much system overhead you encountered.

I follow the same philosophy, but my side-project got out of my control and its monthly profits now cover 12x my expenses.

Of course, maintaining it became a lot more stressful than when the MRR was at $10k and I had to hire a small team to help.

I still try to keep things under control by spending most of our time on product and customer support, and zero time/dollars on marketing/ads. This keeps our growth rate manageable (3%-5% per month). I also ignore all interested investors/buyers that want to scale the business.

At our revenue level, I realize I could probably sell the business and never have to work again, but I'm enjoying the ride and afraid of what the pressure to scale could do to our customers.

Unless Apple makes significant design improvements, I'm not going back. Windows is terrible in a number of ways, but it's improved dramatically in the last few years and I can get work done on it without raising my blood pressure. Apple's seriously screwing the pooch with developers and designers and doesn't seem to care.
I definitely relate to this, even if I no longer have a large physical collection of books. I kinda cringe when I see lists like this of recommended reading, and especially dread that a list might be very compelling, because I already have a personal list that I'll never be able to finish before the end of my life.
It is not that much about education. Currently there exists a complex system of various incentives to convince doctors to prescribe more pills and to prescribe certain types of pills.

The pharma companies have installed their people in hospital management and various medical boards all over the place, and they are constantly pushing for more drugs and more expensive drugs.

The pharma companies can make it worthwhile for a hospital group to prescribe more drugs. The hospital group management can in turn incentivize their doctors to do it. It is even in the insurance companies benefit, because there really isn't a competitive market for medical insurance. Insurance companies actually welcome higher costs, because they raise their rates accordingly, which actually make their profit dollars go up.

It is only us ordinary users of medical services that are paying the bill.

The underlying problem is that there isn't any mechanism for a cost benefit analysis in the doctor patient relationship. The modern medical insurance system was set up to assure the customer that he would get the best medical care he needs without worrying about cost. It is a perfect system for gouging and everyone has started gouging.

What's particularly obnoxious about this type of political thought is the idea that "If you don't support forced or compelled speech in favor of X then you must be against X". The problems with this type of thinking are too obvious to list off.

Well, there are historical reasons for that too, Franco's repression on Galicia was brutal, but I agree nowadays BNG support is not comparable to the ones in Catalonia.

I was just listing regions that might have historical reasons and even parties with strong independent ideals, versus a group of friends wanting to separate from Spain for the sake of the argument.
Agreed - there's no point at all in anthropomorphizing plants, for good or ill.
Because using good causes for justifying bad actions is bad.
Is that not an undefined behaviour?

Can't you get some values "out of thin air" (partial updates of some bits.) Or some intermediate values?

(For example, can the compiler decide to use this memory location to store some unrelated temporary result, as it knows it will erase it soon with a final value and that no other threads is supposed to access this)
>This solves tons of issues - bad home life

Not at all. It's just more excuse to babysit teens. Bad home life will only be fixed by raising living standards, by reducing number of hours parents need to work, providing vacation time, etc. But that would require redistributing wealth instead of raising property taxes a couple percent.

The command allows you to click all buttons in the page at once:

• The dollar sign is an alias for jQuery [1];

• The text between double quotes is a CSS selector;

• Select every DOM element with a “grid-coupon-clip-button” and “button” CSS class;

• The thing at the end is a JavaScript function call which triggers an “onclick” event [2];

Absolutely "They". They they they they they. English already has a perfectly good gender-neutral pronoun. I explicitly list my pronouns as "He/his or they/their" because I think the neopronouns are ultimately a way to gatekeep inclusivity, which is ironic.

Russiagate was a credible accusation that proved to be untrue. Which is a reputational vulnerability Trump will always carry; someone who does international business with countries America has complex socioeconomic and historical ties to will make waves that should come under scrutiny. He could have minimized such scrutiny by divesting himself of his vast real estate empire and he chose not to.

The fact it proved untrue doesn't imply bad faith on the part of the intelligence community, however; it's their job to run leads to ground and determine their veracity.
The difference is that baseball will often have "stints" in a city, you may play back to back days but you won't be traveling. Whereas in the NBA you might be in Houston one night, LA the next, then to Boston, and Chicago, in the space of a week or less.

Baseball is also a lot less "active" than basketball - they are certainly world class athletes, but for many positions the game is slow, punctuated by quick pushes, whereas if you're on the court in basketball you're working at 100%, 100% of the time.

A recent survey of /r/linux users even had Arch as the most commonly used distro. I know it's not an unbiased sample and that Ubuntu is probably the most widely used all up, but it was still a surprise. Arch is mainstream - for a Linux distro.
"Verbosity" also encourages empathy. The piece does a good job relaying the lengths several players go through to achieve the sleep they want. It also gives a good overview of what their travel schedule actually is. Let's not pretend that a three sentence summary contains the same amount of information as a long-form article.

Makes sense, gold-digging is an equal opportunity employer.
>you're mostly arguing against a straw man, so i won't address those points, but there are still some interesting things you're wrong about.

So you're going to ignore basically my entire point.

This:

>other animal species use play as a way to simulate potentially dangerous scenarios in order to learn certain behaviors.

Carries much stronger implications than--to paraphrase your new argument--video games can be used as an advertising medium. It may not have been your intention, but your first argument is the same argument that pundits use to argue that video games "train people to be killers."

Even assuming that wasn't your intent, that animals use play to train for for combat is completely unrelated to a person on TV telling children to ask their parents for something. That's just a human using their persuasive abilities, it has nothing to do with simulated combat.

What will happen with grammatically gendered languages, like Spanish?
I highly disagree. It isn't about cognitive overload. It is about sexism. People aren't gender neutral and don't want to be referred to by an offensive gender neutral pronoun when their gender is anything but gender neutral. It is absurd and insensitive to refer to things as neutral when they have a gender

For example my gender is zygort bilop and the pronoun is zula. Referring to me as gender neutral is the ultimate offense. I mean you don't go around calling African Americans the n-word right? It's the same thing when you call me a "he," "she" or "it."
Genuinely, what's the poor execution? They seem to have basically codified "use someone's stated pronouns" with an awareness of the common ways people try to get around it.

It seems like anyone who respects how other people identify will have hard time running up against this policy.
Considering RMS' social skills and choice of priorities, I'm not exactly surprised by this. But yeah, seems to be old news randomly bubbling up… not gonna get excited about this.
I often wonder why people who write these things don’t start with donating the mass of their fortunes first. Benioff could donate 5b to address poverty causes and still have more than a billion left over for himself.

You are seriously mis-reading, I'm afraid. This is no defense of Trump - Taibbi repeats that Trump is corrupt, sexual predator indeed states...

"Instead, it was a story about an infamously corrupt individual, Donald Trump, a pussy-grabbing scammer who bragged about using bankruptcy to escape debt and publicly praised Vladimir Putin. Audiences believed the allegations against this person and saw the intelligence/counterintelligence community as acting patriotically, doing their best to keep us informed about a still-breaking investigation of a rogue president."

and

"Trump stands accused of using the office of the presidency to advance political aims, in particular pressuring Ukraine to investigate potential campaign rival Joe Biden. He’s guilty, but the issue is how guilty, in comparison to his accusers."

However I disagree with the idea that Trump should be left alone and that any investigations into his many flaws resembles a coup. The message is clear though - the intelligence services are not your friends, and they're not on your side even if you share a common enemy for the time being. That part is not indulging in conspiracy theory, it is common sense.

"For the US to be powered exclusively by wind power it would require 26,619,401 acres of land, an area nearly equivalent to the state of Tennessee." https://www.strata.org/pdf/2017/footprints-full.pdf (wind farm size, not windmill size)

The area of California is 105 million acres, so cover 1/4 of the area of California in wind farms.

Urban land in the US is about 70 million acres (https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/major-land-uses/major...), so this would be another 3rd the amount of urban sprawl of all cities and towns in the country.

Solar is a little bit better - only 16,393,234 acres, or 1/6 of California, but you can't really do agriculture on that land like you could with wind farms.

And this is without overprovisioning or increasing electricity use to replace gasoline.

Do you consider either of those options viable? What overprovisioning factor are you going to shoot for?

I don't think it's just a binary choice: I think it's a blended choice, but you've got to have a heavy reliance on nuclear if you want to dramatically cut CO2 emissions.

If it's that much of a concern just put a validation filter on the comment submission box that has you "gender neutralize" your submission/answers if they find "he/her" type language in there.

I mean - it's a clear-enough defined problem to solve with software and I've found that if you mess up a gender pronoun on accident people sometimes get deeply offended. I've gone 100% to the "they/them/you/their user name/etc." route because I just don't want to step on toes.

I miss the days when everyone was just a silly textual username that didn't have a gender, age, religion, race, etc. I've gone years communicating with people without actually knowing their gender.
When I saw that it required more than a 5m fix on my Lenovo I just accepted this as my new setup and committed to only using the trackpoint instead. Ironically, as a programmer the trackpoint has now become crucial to my setup (easier on the wrists/thumbs; faster), and made it a lot easier to go "all the way" with tiled windows managers. So the lack of decent trackpad support made me really consider other setups that now I realise work better for me. Obv, your mileage may vary
