If you don't understand that LACNIC is an entity similar to RIPE, ARIN or APNIC you're operating from flawed assumptions there. LACNIC is a regional entity that controls the supply of blocks of ipv4/ipv6 addresses, issued to ISPs.

The IP address is not "registered" to LACNIC, it comes from LACNIC and is issued to an ISP. As does any other IP address for an ISP with a business address in the LACNIC region.

The IP you've posted belongs to a /24 block issued to autonomous system AS262254, which does appear to be a Belize corporation with a mail.ru (russian version of free gmail/yahoo webmail) contact address.

The fact that it's a mail.ru address doesn't really say anything, anymore than a person anywhere in the world can access a yahoo or gmail webmail address over https in a browser.

Take a look at global BGP tables for where the /24 that contains that address is actually being announced from, and what other upstream transit/peer ASes are adjacent to it.

The AS in question appears to have as its primary upstream AS57724, which does seem to represent itself as a Russian hosting/DDoS filtering company.

Exactly, government has a hard time justifying space because people point to poverty happening somewhere in the world.

Meanwhile, global internet is an exciting concept, especially if it can fund small backup civilizations (that will eventually be needed due to the heat death of the sun).
Depends on your buffer size, bandwidth, and what you're demodulating/decoding, but it's pretty fast. With a narrow bandwidth on a fast port and simple modulation/encoding, maybe a few milliseconds?

They have a very interesting monetization strategy, musescore.org vs musescore.com where you pay to access the sheet music library.

Another program I am greatly enjoying is Synthesia particularly because I can drop in any MIDI file exported from MuseScore and learn to play it there.

Sythesia’s keyboard and note tracking is much better than the MuseScore app, and it’s $8 once to fully unlock which is pricing I love.

The other app I’ve used is Noteflight, which I’ve used to simplify some songs that my daughter really wanted to play, to make them easier but still sound mostly right.

The "administrative costs" in that analysis are misleading. "Administrative costs include spending on running governmental health programs and overhead from insurers but exclude administrative expenditures from healthcare providers." I don't think the blue bar is representative of the "raw cost" of care.

This study says over one-third of all US healthcare costs are administrative.

That’s how I’ve come to think about it too. Free speech is vital to allow ideas to be expressed and criticized, in the same way that the methods of science are about conjecture and criticism. The ability to challenge orthodoxy is vital in science, but so is rejection of “bad science” and even more so rejection of the notion that there can be no discernment of any qualities of scientific claims.

I am not going to get into the semantics of the argument. If someone says "The US is not in a position to criticize China for <unspecified abuses> because of <specified abuses which are not genocide>, it is an attempt to draw moral equivalence between the two.

There is no equivalence to be drawn. There is bad, and there is evil. The two are not the same, and any sentence connecting the two is driven by bad faith or propaganda.
"Wait times for cancer treatment -- where timeliness can be a matter of life and death -- are also far too lengthy. According to January NHS England data, almost 25% of cancer patients didn't start treatment on time despite an urgent referral by their primary care doctor. That's the worst performance since records began in 2009.

And keep in mind that "on time" for the NHS is already 62 days after referral.

Unsurprisingly, British cancer patients fare worse than those in the United States. Only 81% of breast cancer patients in the United Kingdom live at least five years after diagnosis, compared to 89% in the United States. Just 83% of patients in the United Kingdom live five years after a prostate cancer diagnosis, versus 97% here in America."

> Obamacare covered millions

I was one of the people who lost insurance starting a new business - too rich to get subsidized (cutoff was/is >~50k/yr), too poor to pay the equivalent of a second mortgage for individual insurance because of runaway premiums on individual market post-ACA. And penalized a few grand for it come tax season until the mandate was effectively rolled back. Was more than supportive of that rollback.

It’s a risk management game for new business owners, and a big incentive for people to keep working for the man.
> Raku has a long way to go.

Agreed that both Raku (the language, community, and ecosystem) and Rakudo (the compiler) have a long way to go.

But whose who know them well know that there's still lots of low hanging fruit and it's "just" a matter of continuous improvement, year by year.

> stuck in a "we'll optimise that later" dead-end

That's a bit like saying Java (or rather the JVM) seemed to be stuck in being dog slow based on its dog slow performance in the first few years of its official existence. It paints a false picture.

In reality JVMs got faster each year, sometimes by big jumps, and 10 years after Java's first official release it was still slow, but no longer dog slow. (And nowadays Java is no longer considered slow.)

What matters is whether there is sustained love and continuous significant improvement of a PL, and an implementation. Raku has demonstrated that it has that for 20 years, and Rakudo for 10.

There is good reason to look forward to that continuing for both Raku and Rakudo until well beyond the point at which its raw string processing performance has become respectable.

And this will be in addition to what's remarkable about Raku's string handling, namely its world leading Unicode support and O(1) string indexing. Presuming that will finally pay off, and I see no reason to think it won't, it will seriously pay off.
That’s a great piece thanks!

Thanks. I ended up doing exactly what you said for other reasons (Covid). Now I have what is called telemedicine where I call some number where I describe my symptoms and I might get a prescription right away or some tests.

Why is this public health crisis different?
The main thing I take on faith is that people are different and one-size fits all solutions don't produce good outcomes. We have different car brands, grocery stores, non-health insurance companies, package delivery companies, retailers, and housing options. Some people want fast and cheap. Others want to drive an hour to save a few bucks.

This isn't some technical academic point. Without a range of choices, you actually can't know what people truly want. So things don't get better. People can't signal what's truly important by voting with their wallet.

> If we want to benefit from market forces here, it's probably much more effective to have large (or single) payers who understand what the standard of care should be, and can encourage price competition from providers.

I don't get this at all. There are so many markets where complex, highly-paid specialists do work customers might not understand: estate/trust lawyers, auto repair, even dental care. We don't have nearly the same problems as in medicine due to this culture of treating doctors like God. They aren't. They're just a person doing a service, just like a chef or a guy painting a house.

What actually bothers me most about this whole thing is that nobody is willing to get serious about the tradeoffs their system entails. Health care in the US is failing right now. Companies are trying to stay beneath ACA limits because health insurance would crush them. My premiums are $380/month as a healthy, 36-year old nonsmoker with no rare conditions. That is INSANE. There's ever-more incentive to keep people off of W2 employment because premiums have gotten so out of control. If you take the current system, where bankruptcies are the norm, this monster is devouring almost 20% of our GDP, and every time I go to the doctor it's a major hassle, I'll come out and say that yes, maybe I'd prefer to fix that even if someone can't get a $150,000 drug anymore.

>aside: Singapore is a weird case and probably not a good comparitor for most healthcare systems.

Even this gets complicated as we learn more. Some plants like Venus fly traps obviously feel. The fresh-cut grass smell is a signal to other plants that the grass is in distress, and people are theorizing trees communicate through roots.

I think this is possibly misleading.

'We' never did 'collective' parenting in the broader sense.

Both Asian and Western families were essentially nuclear, but multigenerational, and closer ties to extended family.

70 years ago, this was generally normative - and frankly often today - in that families were 2 parents + kids, but grandparents, uncles/aunts /cousins were part of the mix.

Obviously, more so in some places than others (particularly with parents living-in i.e. Asia, Italy)

Even today: 100% of my buddies who are married live within 2km of their mother-in-laws.

I think the term 'collective' is just a little bit too broad, and Romanticizes these quasi-aboriginal notions of truly more collective parenting, which frankly hasn't been part of the mix for a very long time (i.e. millennia) in most places.

The basic, communitarian concepts which we are mostly all familiar, which is to say 'quasi nuclear with strong extended family ties' will work just fine.

I think both neoliberalism and certain kinds of progressive social ideologies, without necessarily intending to move away from this, are effectively doing this, and pushing us into the 'hyper nuclear' (i.e. 1 or 2 parents only) scnenarios, which I think is less than ideal.

Having grown up in a single parent situation, and then two parents later on, it took me 30 years of reflection to realize how much single parenting is a massive disadvantage. Surprisingly, there is reluctance among many progressive circles to recognize this, whereupon the notion of 'single motherhood' is contemplated on equal footing with 2 parent families. (Though I think this is usually derived from concerns over the fact that single parent households are often the result of abuse etc.)

This odd paradox can be seen within the African American community whereupon well over 50% of kids grow up without having much of a relationship with their fathers. To some, this is an abomination, and a 'root cause of malaise' (and I'm not pointing fingers here, there are lot of men in jail that don't need to be), but surprisingly among many, they just don't see it as a problem for a variety of triggering reasons.

The nuclear+extended and obviously - community participation (i.e. teachers, role models) I think will work just fine so long as we recognize it.

And any parents who adopt foster children are straight up heroes, of that there is no doubt.

having kids should NOT be dependent on your financial state.

Why not? Choosing to have kids one can't feed and making decisions that will require taking resources from others by force is the definition of neglect.
See this reporting from The Guardian about DDoS-Guard among other things:

"DDoS-Guard, the company that provided services to VanwaTech until earlier this week, was registered under a limited partnership, a financial structure in Scotland that allows non-residents to create companies with little scrutiny, on 24 November 2017 by Aleksei Likhachev and Evgeniy Marchenko – two Russian businessmen who remain owners of the company. The partnership under which DDoS-Guard is registered is called Cognitive Cloud and is listed at an address in Edinburgh’s Forth Street.

Speaking from the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don earlier this week, Marchenko told the Guardian that 8kun was not a direct client of DDoS-Guard, but that his company provided services to VanwaTech.

...

Asked why he used a company based in Scotland, Marchenko said: “Why not? The UK is very comfortable for business. I visited London one time, 14 years ago.” He said: “We don’t support any illegal activity. We know nothing about what happened in Washington or support one side or another. This company [VanwaTech] is just one of our many customers.”

DDoS-Guard’s other clients include the Russian ministry of defense, as well as media organizations in Moscow. The firm’s webpage links to an official ministry history, which sets out recent steps the Kremlin has taken to ban the use of smartphones by Russian soldiers, after a series of leaks."

The headline isn't really misleading but it implies a slightly different problem from what seems to be real crux of this (or so they say):

"As you can see, the number of daytrippers -- is steep," says Bettini. This is crucial information, because these "hit-and-run" tourists are usually charged with causing the most damage to the struggling city. They tend to come in from other parts of Italy -- often from beach resorts on a bad weather day -- and rarely spend money, bringing their own food and eating illicit picnics on bridges and on waterfronts. But since they don't stay overnight, they cannot be counted by the authorities -- until now.

I don't understand exactly why not staying overnight means they can't be counted, and another quote does mention too many visitors in specific areas, but the problem is apparently bored domestic travelers who can't go to the beach, not over-tourism in general. Maybe a messaging based approach would work better than this rather intrusive tracking system but who knows, I'm not Italian. I've been to Venice though, it's really nice, if you get the opportunity you should take it (respectfully), even if you have to agree to be tracked.

Also - not sure if commenters are aware of this, but I'm pretty sure every hotel in Venice already keeps passports and IDs on file and reports who is there every day to the local authorities.

I think you're right. The issue with these services is that they're extremely local. Really, only cities will likely really have much competition. That relies on there being separately owned facilities. And even then there is the issue that 2-3 providers never really compete even if they're not colluding...

I honestly think that free market healthcare is doomed to failure. The information a-symmetry, the size of hospitals compared to populations, localization, the degree of specialization, strategic nature of services, and the social externalities are just too great to ever really have a market. But that's just me on my soap box.

Hopefully transparent pricing will do some good at least. I wonder if requiring insurers to share savings in cash would further encourage people to shop around (eg going to the place 4h away to get a 2k MRI instead of a 4k MRI means you get say half the saving [1k] back from your insurer)...
