> if your country has lax privacy laws Apple will exploit it till the law says otherwise

Given the wretched state of privacy laws in the U.S. that seems an uncharitable position. Apple has far more business motivation to treat its customers well in that regard than to try to squeeze money out of their data.

Although you’d think they’d have motivation to treat developers better than demanding a 30% cut, so there’s that.
I might as well just dump this question in this thread:

Would this be easy to combine with openvpn? Basically what I'd like is to hook (say) my Apple TV into my pi by ethernet and then use the pi's wifi to connect to my router. Finally I'd like to be able to connect the pi to a VPN and have the Apple TV transparently use that connection. Is this straight-forward to achieve?
Also just wanted to say thanks for sharing!

Right, but the original commenter said their friend was referred to a hospital, probably an ER. So, the question remains whether they would be hit by this policy, too.

> Politicians need to step in and make this illegal.

That would only make the situation even worse, hospitals would raise their absurd gouging rates even higher if government required it.

Reform is needed but on both sides of that table.
These will generally be also tied to various govt programs that are getting milked and are not market driven.

You'll have honest / primary care providers going bust under Medicare / Medical and folks who get aggressive on billing / switch to lucrative areas (medicare advantage is mentioned) and milk like crazy.

Large corps shop and cost shift to employees who also shop on price etc so margins are poorer there (where the issue in article is more relevant).
One of the best parts of listening to Elixir Outlaws, the podcast that Chris co-hosts, is disagreeing with his wacky and strongly-held opinions on things. Personally, I don't agree with most of what he's calling out here, but it's still a great read to get you thinking.
How does everybody else in the world do it? I don't understand why Americans specifically have to have cars, 8-lane highways, and all of this infrastructure to support themselves when the vast majority of the world doesn't. Even if they have cars they still live in small walkable neighborhoods or towns. Why can't we?

How do these people in Dinan in Brittany do these things?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinan#/media/File:Dinan_on_the...

I don't see highways and suburbs. Why can they do it but we can't?

How about Nantes (if you want a larger city)?

Where are the suburbs and highways and gas stations? Maybe we should ask them how they handle having kids. Do you think they have Ford Explorers?

I wish we had only maps and only with either strings or atoms as keys. I ended up too many times with code that failed because it got a string as a key instead of an atom or viceversa.

Of course it has. Just because it isn't directly based in a physiological reaction doesn't make it less real. And it is in general a mistake to make a clear distinction between what is mind and what is matter. They are the same.

> Do some people abuse the ED? Sure. But then find another solution for those people.

Ironically they tend to be the uninsured because the ER can't turn you away. The solution is to get them insured.
The ads are opening those holes. It doesn't take long for them to close again, but by that time you've decided to buy the thing.
I work in the field and never had this impression. There are a ton of standards, safety related procedures and so on. But many of those are at least questionable. At the same time management is asking for more and more „features“. Many are just gimmicks or diluted by too many cooks. No one ever asks for GOOD software. Folks at the top have ABSOLUTLY NO idea what that could mean other than the absence of bugs.
Why doesn't this problem exist anywhere else in the world?

The insurance companies have contributed to making American healthcare so dysfunctional. They are not the victims here.
> To stretch it to "4 to 6k gallons per pound of beef" you have to include the rain that watered its pasture, which makes absolutely no sense. Nobody ever tells that a bread loaf requires 500L of water to produce (roughly the quantity of water needed to water 1 bread loaf worth of wheat) because this water falls for free from the sky anyway.

Not in the west, it doesn't. The water for the pasture (or the alfalfa for the feed lot), and the water to grow the wheat, are often pumped from an aquifer. And some of the more important aquifers are shrinking.

But the overall point is a valid one. I note that 500L of water is about 125 gallons. Per loaf of bread.
Gmail and similar providers proxy all image URLs they receive at the time they receive the email, so you can't tell when a user later opens the email. That said there might be bugs to make your images un-cacheable such that Gmail still loads them later, directly or indirectly, when you open an email.

Compare this with Apple Mail which proxies emails from a different, presumably non-Google IP address and which does so only when an email is downloaded in the background. So while you can't track IP address, yes, and you never could set cookies that I'm aware of without clicking a link first, this means you can still track "downloads" of your email to a local client, just not "opens" - and if your Mail app already downloaded images when the email was downloaded, then it's possible it won't even change that - you might not have been tracking opens this whole time... maybe.
That sounds like a question for a doctor.

If something happened in the middle of the night to you, where you would find a doctor in the middle of the night if not at the ER?
Urgent care is very lacking. I’ve had many episodes where I go in and they refuse to see me, say goto ER. Get to ER and they are annoyed that I didn’t goto an urgent care.

Look I’m sorry my minor stroke annoys you, but something beyond go home and see if it turns into a major stroke would be appreciated.
It's a filter in the sales funnel, often intentionally. "Contact us for pricing" tells everyone what they need to know – either you have a big budget and are not price sensitive, or you're self service and this product isn't for you.

Pricing is hard, it makes total sense to just not publish prices early on.
Absolutely this. What are your "smartest" friends saying about the billions of dollars invested and spent by other really smart individuals in developing these vaccines in the first place? I bet world class biologists and investors aren't doing it for the fun.

PS: If anyone is curious about the "real thing", I'd highly recommend you look up hospital documentaries on COVID IC units. There is one - unfortunately German only - called "Charité intensiv" which quite drastically showcases the extent of what you have to deal with when contracting COVID. Let me tell you it's quite a bit more than myocarditis.
So it seems like you have nothing bad to say about China that could lend credence to any of the reports.

I hope that this is a precursor to banning the formal exchange of cryptocurrencies in the West.

Cryptocurrencies are good for nothing except ransomware, speculation, pump and dump scams, pyramid schemes, and wasting energy and advanced manufactured goods.

They are not decentralized since most people rely on dodgy online exchanges, and they are not good for international transactions because exchanges (particularly outside of the USA) charge large commissions for deposits and withdrawals.
Right, but the UC facility referred him to the hospital, i.e. the ER, because they were full.

Typically they have an off switch for things that are considered sensitive data, and when they don't they seem inclined to course correct. If they don't have an off switch in the WWDC developer betas, that would be a bug for everyone to report via Feedback Assistant.
I can see that. Perhaps there's social a fix somewhere around messaging or something. Ultimately it's not Brave that's doing this to site owners, it's the users who install Brave for Brave's feature set. I think the elephant here is that it's not really up to site owners to say whether users can use ad blockers or not or which browser they should use. If I install an ad blocker as a user, that's my choice. So installing Brave, essentially an add-blocker-as-a-browser doesn't seem like the thing that site owners should be able to opt out of at all. Allowing publishers to opt-out feels like a tactical compromise.

Of course sites can block requests based on Brave's user-agent string if their business depends deeply on ad revenue and they consider users with ad blockers to be abusing their service. That's their prerogative if this really irks them and it's worth losing the users. On the flip side if this becomes popular enough then site owners see real money on the table and they'll opt in to picking it up. That seems like an easy fix for them. If I was a site contemplating either blocking content to users with ad blockers or allowing cooperative users to opt into a more private client-side ad experience which still gives me the opportunity to collect revenue for their traffic, I'm pretty sure I'd choose the cooperative approach.

I always keep a second copy of all my original rips just because I'm worried that kind of thing could happen—if not immediately, then later on when I sync a new computer and iTunes Match finds some new song that conflicts.

I think that quiet vs verbal mind personality difference is really what separates whether people like which languages.

I personally can't stand languages that are "spoken description". I understand the appeal to others but the languages just don't mesh with my way of thought. When I'm programming or building a system I'm thinking in the sense of abstract transformations and structures not in any spoken structure. Often times for me it's easier to draw out what I'm thinking of rather than explain it since there's not necessarily a verbal representation behind what I'm thinking of until I sit down and try to come up with one.

Something that here a lot here is having comprehensive, trustworthy documentation.

This gives you the moral high ground to adopt semantic versioning: the correct behavior is the documented behavior. If someone has code that relies on an undocumented method or undocumented behavior, it's fair game to break that with only a minor version bump.

If your documentation isn't any good, SemVer is almost a fiction.
That's not the question in the post you're replying to. The question is "would the insurance company consider it an emergency because the Urgent Care facility was full and told the patient to go to the ER even if the final discharge condition was classified as a 'non-emergency'?
No, that's intended. There's an index at the top of each page. You use the index links to jump down. And if you want to jump back up to the index, you use any of the header links. That makes sense to me. It seems useless for a link to point to itself
I have the same problems with my 2019 Impreza. It responds sooner if I'm not in reverse, but I am usually in reverse first because I need to back out of my garage. It usually doesn't respond to the volume knob messages until a second after shifting into forward. I say "messages" because the turns of the knob appear to be queued up somewhere, but it doesn't have as much time to process those while it's displaying the rear-view camera on the screen.
Your example is valid elixir code.

def main do
with {:ok, response} <- call_service(data),
{:ok, decoded} <- parse_response(response) do
decoded
end
end

It may be a little semantically different but it's pretty similar.
It'd just be nice to have a little more control, for starters. So advertisers try to figure out what we want by what websites we visit and are not too good at it. They could also just ... ask? I'd like to have an ad service that I can tell what I'm actually interested in these days, and that forces the companies to provide lots of information about the product they are advertising for (documentation and stuff). So if I see an interesting ad, I can easily find out if its actually something I want. And money only flows if I actually buy something, affiliate-link style.
To be fair, I don't use my function keys on my laptop enough to where it became muscle memory, especially for the alternative functions they provide (screen brightness, media, etc).

Luckily the only dynamic part of most of these ECU's are their diagnostics and logging mechanisms, nowhere near "huge swaths of functionality". Every other bit of flash is written once at the factory and is never touched again. Now that we are seeing widespread adoption of OTA, it'll increase the amount of writes to program flash maybe 100 times over the life of the vehicle, but still within reasonable bounds.

The issue is if OEM's ignore this limitation and tie mission critical portions of their systems to the memory partitions their diagnostic and logging mechanisms use (e.g Tesla).

In reality if we are deploying OTA capabilities to these vehicles, there is absolutely no reason to be hammering your flash with logs, just upload them to the borg cube and be done with it.
> General consensus is that there's a lot of things pointed out here that are good to think about and consider, but don't treat them all as gospel.

Break up the insurers (or nationalise the medical care funding system), break up (or nationalise) the hospitals.
I'd be curious to have somebody elaborate on his list:

A geometric sans serif

A high quality serif for long text

A workhorse font

A web safe font

A variable font

Under what circumstances do you go for your "variable font"? What's the difference between the "workhorse" and the first two items? (His "workhorse" is a family containing both a serif and a sans serif. Though I have a hard time seeing Roboto Slab as a body font.)

The article is about design for web. Shouldn't they all be web safe fonts?
It's not just public transportation. Hell we don't even need it really. We could just build cities better so that yea sure your family can own a car, but most of the time you just walk out your front door to the things you need for most of the time.

People have the same mentality around electric cars and range. They'll say, well I can't have an electric car because if I go on this road trip that I might do 3 days out of the year my electric car won't be able to handle that. But 99% of the time it covers your use cases...

I know this is a losing battle though. We won't build public transportation, bike lanes, or sidewalks. There's little doubt that we'll ever do that. It's just frustrating that we're so intent on just driving everywhere, spending 45 minutes each way in a car, thousands of teenagers dying, vast amounts of pollution, an untold number of habitats destroyed, pavement and concrete everywhere, and it's just because we decided that every family should live in the suburbs and drive everywhere. There's no good reason. It's insanity.
By and large I think wealthier people have more incentives to limit their drug use. They have hobbies, jobs, etc, that they probably enjoy and don't want to ruin via drug use. On the other hand when everything in your life sucks because you're completely broke there's very little reason to not use more drugs, if they are the only thing you get to enjoy.

So the mental image of meth as a poor person drug exists possibly because poor people bear a greater burden of the damage it causes.
The Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou problem: A foray into the beautifully simple
If Apple re-uses iCloud Private Relay for this feature, which they might or might not be doing, then there are actually two entities involved and Apple presumably knows what user made the request but not what URL was requested: https://appleinsider.com/articles/21/06/10/how-apple-icloud-...
Well that's two different things. Intrinsic versus extrinsic complexity.

The user experience may get simpler again, but the technology inside is likely to get more complex. Electrification might mean simpler mechanisms and fewer moving parts, but the software will get ever more complicated.

Now in a way it's usually a good thing, if all the complexity of something is hidden and users can treat it as though it's simple. But we'd probably all agree that extra complexity in software that can kill us if it goes wrong is worrying. The only way we know to write safe software is to make it as simple as possible, and write it slowly and expensively. SIL-rated software has already reached the automotive sector. But it seems like the sheer demand to make cars more complex (especially for self-driving) will outrun our ability to make them safe.

The insurance company is dumping a giant turd in the patient's lap and forcing them to either eat it or go fight an immensely well funded and resourced organization over the bill. It's a bit baffling to absolve them of responsibility in that action.

When is the last time you went to an ER? We went recently in southern california, and it was saturated by people stopping in for sniffles, flu, and other things that should have been handled in a regular doctor visit. The nurse said as much when we asked if we should go somewhere else for (what turned out to be) an actual emergency. We got right in, thanks to triage.

Is this related to the article? Probably not. But I never get enough chances to point out the myriad abuses and misuses of the health care system.
Apple and Tesla specifically are not good examples of this https://www.zdnet.com/article/tesla-yanks-autopilot-features... & https://www.npr.org/2020/11/18/936268845/apple-agrees-to-pay... These both come from the habit and ability to remotely change what's already on my device without my knowledge or consent
So what, that's not something under the patients control. You (as a society) can't (morally) go "oh, well some hospitals are malicious, so we're just going bankrupt random people who get unlucky".

The insurance companies should lobby to make that illegal, if it's already illegal lobby to have that law enforced (if criminal) or take them to court (if civil) or both (if both). In the meantime they shouldn't be shifting the liability to the patients.
Yep, rather straight-forward. Little bit of iptables forwarding and you're all set:

I'd heard that there was no inflation in England in 1914 versus 1614. The chart doesn't show this, but it does show a remarkably stable period (for some value of "stable") between c. 1650 and c. 1750, and another from 1820 to 1914.
