$2,733 to Treat Iron-Poor Blood? Iron Infusions for Anemia Under Scrutiny(2019)
I did that to myself so many times...
Ask HN: Install Big Sur or Wait?
God the self importance of this community. The world can live without the 1000 people here.
Interestingly this also works in reverse, namely macOS is a downgrade if you are used to Windows 10.
What did anemic people do before the modern iron infusions turned up? Seems like this isn’t just an American deficiency? true elsewhere too re the cost?

In the past 3 months, 5 people (all women..only one American) have informed me that they take intra muscular shots of iron. Two of them as often as once a month.

It seems really odd.

Also..worthy for the annals of what-the-fuckery : [..] The hospital initially had billed more than $14,000 per vial of Injectafer. Since her treatment was in network, Rothenberg's insurance plan negotiated a much cheaper rate: about $1,600 per vial. She received two vials. Insurance paid a portion, but Rothenberg still owed the hospital $2,733, based on what was still unpaid in her family's $9,000 deductible.[..]

[..] Doctors are supposed to recommend infusions only if patients don't respond to iron pills or dietary changes, Pollock says. Instead of steering patients toward "unnecessarily costly" infusions, physicians should determine the underlying cause of low iron and treat that directly.

Injectafer, which Rothenberg received, is one of the most expensive infusions, retailing for more than $1,000 a vial. And, as Rothenberg learned the hard way, hospitals can charge privately insured patients whatever they choose. Insurers then negotiate that hospital "list price" down.

An analysis of private insurance claims conducted by the Health Care Cost Institute, an independent research group funded by insurers, found that in 2017, private health plans paid $4,316 per visit, on average, if a patient received Injectafer infusions. Feraheme, the next most expensive infusion drug, cost private plans $3,087 per visit, while the other three on the market were considerably cheaper. Infed was $1,502, Venofer $825 and Ferrlecit $412, the institute found, in an analysis for Kaiser Health News.[..]
Ha! So that's what it was. Last night (I just woke up in the UK) my macbook pro started to crawl, I started to threat that it might be the SSD starting to fail.
Thanks for that. I found this interesting old discussion on Denuvo too (skim/skip the OP, seems to be BS, but the top comment is interesting).

I’m assuming this is a blockchain reference?
Let alone the fact that those numbers are for 1 year for flu and only 5 months for Covid.
Okaaay... I won't be hosting anything on DigitalOcean.
DMCA itself is obviously an US law, but many Western countries have similar laws.
We'd be at 50% clean energy if the nuclear energy rollout had kept growing at the 1980s rate. It'd be cheaper too because the nuclear industry would be in-practice at building plants on budget.

We should take a moment to condemn the people who shut that move down. Fukushima is a much smaller problem than what actually happened.
They don't know what the model's accuracy is over long periods because it hasn't been around long enough to test.
And more on the Cairo in question:

(I still default to association "Cairo" and shftware with Microsoft, though there's also an Apple/Mac context https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fonts_on_Macintosh#Fonts_of_th... ....)
Looks possible that Apple has internally written patches to docker to get it running on the M1 based machines. I could imagine NDA's might apply, which is why docker devs don't appear worried about it.

I guess they're planning on upstreaming those patches when the hardware is released.
Well, there is endless demand for lawyers, largely because the law and precedences are endlessly complex. But afaik, it is not such a great well paid career now.
Like others said, for non-interactive media it is mostly pointless, but for executable code (especially stuff that's online or will update a lot, like games) it does some work.
As always with each and every new macOS: wait >at least< a month, let other people have "fun" with the bugs that always appear on each newly released version, wait for bugfixes from Apple, save yourself a few headaches.
If I'd need to update, then I'd wait at least for the second line of patches for the new system.

The best solution for me has always been staying 1 version of macOS behind though and this is what I always recommend to everyone.
Absolutely, some folks live truly out in the boonies far away from any likely strike target (e.g. Agafia Lykova way out in the Khakassia mountains). That's a double-edged sword however, as very few people live in those fringe areas without outside support and, since there have been no true frontiers remaining on earth for the last few hundred years, those isolated settlements are in areas that cannot sustain the basics of human life in perpetutity and complete isolation at the same time.
Incredible I had the exact same thing. 2019 MB pro I bought for music production and ableton started to lag incredibly badly and the whole desktop was unresponsive. I started to search my email to see what warranty I had.
Do you have a good reason to believe that there will be a reversal of recent warming trends given the concentration of carbon dioxide and accumulation of other pro-warming gasses in the atmosphere?
“Homeworld” will be the default Theme for Debian 11
It will be interesting to see if these results are replicated by other models (as the authors request).

Separately, I predict that: Once all the countries get to close to net zero carbon, the discussion will turn to net zero historic carbon.

There are a bunch of data-points (such as the impending die off of the coral reefs) that suggest we're going to have to completely reverse man-made GHG emissions.
What I appreciate about this is how it addresses the more managerial aspects, things I've been trying hard to wrap my head around so that I can better approach management with things like data based risk analysis based on existing risk analysis algorithms, and things like how to evaluate certain interal functions efficacy. I will very much be reading this thoroughly.

Now what I really need is a book on how to break through the ceiling to start communicating with the C's/board better (or at all in some companies where managers and C's are blackholes of information...) This is one of my largest career failures I constantly think about... I see failures that are managerial first but have second tier effects of causing technical issues (technical debt being only one), but everyone in the chain fails to know how to voice this to higher ups, who then tend to assume it's all technical or team based and do things like start replacing managers with PHB's.

Sometimes I wish I had gotten an MBA instead just so I could navigate the culuture/speak better. How can an engineer play at the c/board level if he has the desire and aptitude? Any reading recommendations would be appreciated. The older I get the more I regret not "playing politics". Is there a "The Prince - but for SV?"
> edit - It's also really hard as a designer + developer + would-be researcher in the making to find a good computer.

I woukld agree on desginer.

Absolutely not on developer or researcher.

Actually MacOS is for the reasons you mentioned incredibly developer-unfriendly (unless you target is of course the iOS ecosystem).

And for research there is no better platform but Linux. Unless you are in clicky-colorful frontend applications where I would doubt you are doing serious research.
IANAL but i don't see 1201 mentioned in https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/512

Well that's an absolutely absurd and dishonest take on chaos theory.

I can tell you that the five year average of all stocks will probably go up by a predictable amount in the next ten years even if I can't tell you what an individual stock will do two weeks from now. The climate of the earth is an even more stable system that doesn't have to worry about predicting when the next political instability will occur. These models are good and accurate and can be used for predictions beyond 2 weeks.

It is to do with the Kernel and the whole stack fit together which isn't that different between distros.

Also If this person is using Arch they will know how to apply equivalent patches themselves.
Good catch. Another way that would work in Linux at least:

Yes. It just slows down the less skilled from breaking the protection.

"A real medical indication." This is anecdotal, but I just told my doctor (GP) my symptoms, that I am vegan and hence don't eat milk products. I was also on quitting smoking. Got a reference for blood test and smoking cessation (Zyban). I don't remember if smoking cessation was insured, but the rest all was. Going to your GP is free (via mandatory insurance) in The Netherlands. I got my vitamin D and B12 checked among other things.
People complain about this, and with good reason, but some features I do see this as a somewhat good idea. Take carplay, maps and infotainment.... On bmw cars, maps are updated every 3-6 months, but you need to pay... Even my 9 year old 5 series can get map updates... The infotainment system does not get updates, cause it's not paid updates... In the newer cars with paid updates, there is more of a chance of getting updates for stuff like newer carplay, newer android auto and newer Spotify stuff... Yes, there may be a cost, but at least it's updated... It also means that you buy an older vehicle that was a bogo standard comply car, you can get extras after the fact...
Its not against the law to fight dmca notices that aren't legit. Its an unnessary risk that does not benefit him, but its definitely not illegal.

That said at least part of this notice seems legit.

From a another post on this page, someone recommended to look at Metabox.
I never heard of them. I just looked over their site. Some very very cool options. Been in business a long time.

I've tried Alienware -used to be good, bit not very impressed since Dell days, I've tried Razer- always some issues, Dell g and XPS seems the best, up to now. But this Metabox looks really fun. Wonder if others have tried?

A greenhouse is a very simple thing. What's absurd is to forget to mention than a 3 degrees average rise means a six degrees rise over landmasses. At the deepest of the last glaciation with oceans 120 meters down and ice covering half of Europe and all of Canada, we only had an average of 5 degrees colder than 1900.

I don't know why, but it reminded me Facebook.
These comments deserve snide condescension. They're utterly detached from reality, or even better, they're purely cynical ("I'm not going to die, so the hell with people that will die").

Your comment is not backed by anything, there are statistics for types of deaths and there is almost 0 (ZERO!) support for lockdowns causing this many deaths.

How do you think you're smarter than all the world's governments, combined? Are you a qualified scientist or just Random Joe on the internet? If you're the latter, you might want to re-think your viewpoint.

PS: I'm definitely waiting for one of these moments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35079, but it's unlikely :-)

PPS: I'm not going to reply to these threads anymore, as people who are replying to them are either cynical or emotional or both. You just don't have the numbers to back up your claims.
If each ballot has a unique ID and there is no association between the person voting and the ID, then the voter can retain that number, possibly by tearing off a section of the ballot as is done in CA, and check that number online to verify their vote was tallied as expected.
Desktop performance is too poor to run at 4K, even though it works fine in Windows.

I have used 4k with Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA GPUs on Linux (both Wayland and X11) and it is a smooth as it is on macOS. My only data point is GNOME though, because I am happy enough to never try another DE.

I fully agree with Bluetooth problems. I just gave up and use a wired headphone with mic now :(.

But yeah compared to macOS or Windows, Linux really lacks a lot of polish.

I generally agree. I am a NixOS user, though I recently tried Fedora Silverblue and I was surprised how smooth the whole experience is. They nailed the desktop. Atomic upgrades/rollbacks. Flatpaks are really a nice model for installing desktop applications. It's one of the first times I felt that it's a Linux-based system that I wouldn't worry much about recommending to non-technical users.

I think the more serious problem is the lack of applications like Microsoft Office, the Adobe Suite, the Affinity Suite, OmniGroup applications, etc. Sure, there are free replacements, but they are not as good. And even if they were as good, people generally do not like to switch away from what they know.
Bannon isn't calling for their literal decapitation either. "Head on a pike" is an euphemism for getting fired. Another way to say this is "heads should roll" which also does not mean decapitation. Also, when someone "eviscerates" someone, that doesn't mean literal disembowelment, just so we're clear. Nor does "raking over coals" or "drawing and quartering" mean literal torture. But people here just pretend to be obtuse and feign outrage instead. Zuck chooses not to do that because he's an adult. Kudos to Zuck.
It's not though - it's a whole interlinked ecosystem of industry and even if you have the knowledge that doesn't mean you'd be able to bootstrap. A simple example is that most wind turbines today are likely built from steel that was made in an electric arc furnace, which themselves require massive amounts of electricity to run. (And that's just the basic material, to say nothing of the tools and processes you need to actually build one).
wait till you find out about antivirus software
Seems like I am working since four years now on my junk Lenovo Yoga 13 under Manjaro and didn't realize that.
Actually, it is more complicated than that. To exercise fair use defense (yes, it is a defense and not a right in US Copyright law), you must be able to use a process that is non-invasive (as stated in DMCA). So, if a DRM is preventing you to screenshot it, you are actually required to use a camera and exercise the analog hole. This is definitely disappointing, and I am not personally endorsing it, but the law as it stands does not lend credence. (Also, what RIAA is trying to remove is the code that allows to get the music video files from YouTube, which is served differently to normal videos (not just the test units in question). This was conspicuously absent from all discussions I've read.)

You don't have the data. And these things are already quantified and tracked. And no, it doesn't work like you say.

Anyway, have a great day and believe what you want to believe :-)
Public infrastructure gets financed through taxes and is performed via executive departments or government contracts, sometimes as academic research.

Software may need to adopt this model.

It's ocurred to me that ancient symbolic megaprojects (e.g., pyramid-building) may have played roles in developing and maintaining technical skills, supply chains, and generaal interest. All the cool hard problems, great minds, and stable funding.
Very view people would have contraceptives and lots of people would have themselves for sale.

Not mentioned but important newer warheads make one missile count for ten old. Hypersonic missiles subvert early warning systems, so the overall danger has risen.
Indeed, i find it equal parts disgusting and fascinating.
"The submarine" was nice for its time. The reality is today astroturfing is very much a real thing especially as print media has died and the same types of firms find ways to hawk their wares on the internet.

pg also had the right idea but you could, if you desire sit further back and ask about how someone's personal self-interests affect what they write (or nowadays, post or whatever) about and how that can affect the sincerity of what they are writing.

If spending in cosmetics industry is any indicator, women definitely cares about how something looks over men. There are hard number even if you don't believe in the various evolution theories and biological differences which makes women more prone to noticing subtle visual and design cues.

I am not aware of any large scale recent surveys focused entirely on that but there are many dating surveys which reports women having preference for men with iPhones. Likely dubious at the numbers most of them report (70%?) and could be influenced by other factors but still it seems women do prefer iPhones more.

I don't think this should be odd. iPhones have the best overall cameras every year and are huge on Instagram and Pinterest (platforms dominated by women) so I can only extrapolate the difference would be bigger now with social media booming.
MathWorld may or not be what you are looking for, but it looks like a good reference site, for short takes on a large number of math topics. Good graphics too.

Trying to get Widevine going on iOS / macOS has been a royal pain in the ass so far (crashes when you touch the lib while having a debugger attached, so you can't even debug your own code unless you swap in a severely castrated development version that only works on the simulator) and Google guards access to the official libs and docs like it's the precioussss.

To me this is just one of the many developer hostile steps I've seen. I understand they don't want you to access illegal content too easily but honestly the only thing that could drive me back to Torrenting is the declining quality of content on Netflix & co.

If you're already using Tree Style Tab on Firefox, there's a `Bookmark this tree` option that collapses the above workflow to just bookmarking the tree and naming a bookmark folder.

I’ve worked out that breaking free from this is just not for the average person. If you have the power then stand outside and look in but there’s absolutely nothing you can do about the churn other than watch it burn. I’ll carry on educating people but even suggesting this might be an issue is drowned out by the marketing machines of the large vendors and downvoted into oblivion even here. That is unless there is some large story that something fishy is going on. But a big story is made of a thousand small ones which people don’t care about.

Look where fighting Facebook and political influence got us. Nowhere.
Let me propose the following thought experiment: for all the folks who claim they can predict climate 400 years (or 100 or 30 years) out, please take the climate models and run them for only 1 year out. This should give you much much lower error bars ergo higher confidence.

Use it to predict winter in NE 1 year out? I would posit that if they can predict average temps 400 years out then average temps 1 year out should have higher confidence? These predictions can be used to trade heating oil futures and make tens of billions. I do know that energy firms employ many climate modelers but unsure of the accuracy of their forecast s even 1 year out.
Not if you want Time Machine; stay on HFS+ if you're a dev and want easier cross-platform support.
In our everyday ethics, an accident that kills 2 people is about twice as bad as an accident that kills 1 person. So we can use linear assumptions for evaluating safety measures like seatbelts and vaccines.

In the study of existential risk, killing all the people is much, much worse than killing half the people. Because if you integrate over all the people that will ever live, our descendants potentially spreading around the galaxy, killing all of them zeros out all future happiness. Killing half will only reduce population for a century or two.
