The counter point to this, is that I know of a family member went to the ER after passing out (after the 2nd incident) and was able to diagnose a life threatening condition. If they had a healthcare plan like this, they would have probably not gotten care and would be at risk, because the only reason the diagnosis happened was due to symptoms that only show up immediately after their incident.

The risk here is having patients doing their own triaging. If the insurance company really wants to reduce costs, they can partner with a network of ERs who commit to triaging and transferring to lower cost providers if the issue is not an emergency. The patient is not qualified to make that decision.

I worked at a health tech company where we analyzed bringing down costs through claims data, I can tell you that there are actually hundreds of ways insurance companies can reduce costs that won't risk patient safety, but do not. For example, there are billing mistakes all the time, but insurers do not give a crap. We tried building features to help identify billing mistakes but we never could get insurers to care about it. The amount of times I saw insurers undermine patient safety for "costs" was staggering so I'm really skeptical that the insurers are doing the right thing here. As another example, we saw insurers build "Centers of Excellence" and push patients towards taking care there. Basically what they did was find crappy hospital systems who were willing to take lower rates and they would tailor their insurance plan to push patients that way. Unfortunately when we analyzed claims and outcomes we found these Centers of "Excellence" actually had way worse patient outcomes. We raised this point with the insurers and again, they did not give a crap.
I didn't make a very strong case for it. Overall, my experience has been that calling the side-effecting function in the case statement directly tends to be easier to maintain and easier to read. But, I think piping into case can work well in certain situations. Its not one of the points that I feel that strongly about.
This means it’s working.
That was the vehicle I was referencing. I was saying that this vehicle would have been a joint effort if the partnership were still alive. I could see Mazda owning the small EV segment for Ford too.
Yup. Allergic reactions, especially to medication.

And let me tell you, that rash is absolute agony. So. Much. Freaking. Itching. I wished it was pain instead. I would have tried about anything to get it to stop. It was all over my torso, and just horrible. It is really important to get it taken care of before it gets worse - you don't want to, say, take more medicine and not be able to breathe.

The other thing that can cause a rash-like appearance is an infection, though they usually describe this as red streaks (from a cut, anyway). If this is happening on a friday night, you shouldn't wait until monday to take care of it.
> Consequences. Of the 22,215 passenger vehicle occupants killed in 2019, 47% were not wearing seat belts.

And I highly doubt half of those people were driving old cars with no seat belts.

If people can’t be arsed to use a simple safety tool it’s going to be a hard sell to build a robot.

Better would be to build a silo that has safety features built in and make it competitive on price.
APL in the eyes of a Python programmer (2018)
This is spot on in my experience.

The first thing that comes to my head when talking about bad management are manager positions with the power of taking decisions they they either don't fully grasp the consequences at-large of, or will not be hold accountable of bad results for.
> Healthcare providers tend to overcharge in proportion to how unnegotiable the service is. For example, ambulance charges are a great way to make money, because the person on the hook for the ambulance typically isn't in a position to decline ambulance service.

That is because ambulance are charged on use basis in the US. The ambulance company has to provide the service even in the patient cannot pay for it. So they charge high rates with the hopes that they can recover from someone with good insurance. There are many rural ambulance systems that are failing due to insufficient insured patients. The real solution is cities/counties fund the service through taxes just like police/fire.
I know you, and I find that hard to believe ;)
Interesting.

It's also anecdotal, but I have a existing heart condition and experienced no such side-effects post-dose (on either dose (Moderna)).

I hope this will change. More companies need to make some noise about it.
My assumption is simply that marketing/advertising spending as a share of revenues isn't hugely greater for products that poor people buy compared to what rich people buy.

If that is true, then per person contributions to ad funded services would be roughly propotional to personal spending. Someone spending 10 times as much as another person would also pay 10 times as much for using Google search or Youtube.

If these services were subscription based then both would pay the same price in absolute terms, which is very regressive in comparison.

But just to make this clear. I don't claim for a second that my extremely crude calculation is anywhere near correct. What I'm saying is merely that subscription funding is very regressive compared to ad funding.

I don't know what the exact extent of that difference is and I cannot break it down to the level of pricing specific Google ads.
It's more of a hierarchy, to me. I prefer no ads, but I'd rather have personalized ones than the raunchy shlock they serve you if you're a "nobody".
That last one is true for most cars now...
I think its about the principal and ethics involved more than the actual financial impact.
Something I wonder about:

What if inflammation like this is common in many illnesses and simply goes undetected? A previously unseen symptom because no one was paying attention and small illnesses like colds don't receive the level of scrutiny that Covid-19 received.
> This industry is disgusting

But it's very profitable.

Physician salaries have certainly outpaced inflation over the past 50 years (in most specialties - pediatrics and internal medicine seem to have dropped slightly) and the profit share of insurance companies has drastically increased over the last 20 years.

After Obamacare, health insurer profitability has actually improved, and health insurance stocks have outperformed the S&P 500 by more than 100%.

If you want a cut, you should really buy some stock.

With them making so many things mandatory these days, I'd not be surprised to see them making HUD mandatory. It absolutely is easier and faster to read then just looking down. It may only be measured in milliseconds, but it's definitely faster.

FWIW, I feel like a good restaurant serves wine. I don't drink wine, but if your restaurant doesn't serve it, and I am tasked with choosing between two restaurants based on some quick glance at their menu sections and photos of their interior (as of course I am not informed about either: I am supposed to come up with some quick heuristic), it might not matter if you have the world's best hamburger (what I am actually going to order at your fancy restaurant, along with a glass of plain soda water, as I am a philistine). So I dunno: that could still be consistent, given the question phrased the way you did.
Not to mention, people who parrot that extrapolation don't give the same sort of consideration in the other direction.

Every assumption goes towards their preferred conspiracy.

Well I don't think it is a human right for the simple reason that medical care is technically a limited resource.l, there is not an infinite supply of doctors or medicine there is a limited supply no matter what that theoretical limit is.

Ergo it can't be a human right because it is limited, a right is something that everyone should have.

Also what do we mean by "healthcare" is it anyone should be allowed to have any medical procedure they want whenever they want it? I ask because by simply having access to penicillin, aspirin, benedryl and ibeprofun you now have better healthcare than any person in human history that lived before the 1950s. So when we say healthcare is a human right we really need to define what we mean by healthcare.

I also want to make clear I in no way support the insurance companies or hospitals as I think they are all greedy filthy parasites, and have been in constant combat with them for years, but I also don't understand how any rational person can justify the comment that healthcare is a human right.
This reads really nicely. It’s a nice story.

But for me it breaks at a crucial point: how exactly will a strike look like that is way more sophisticated than a nuke or an invasion?

I think your comment is giving AI a life of its own. Whereas I believe that AI is just a continuation of what we have seen for the past 70 years:

Computational power will increasingly aid existing attack vectors. The nuclear strike will be better planned. The invasion much more effective. Through better computer programs, that some happen to call AI these days.

It forces publishers into closed gardens. I am willing to bet Apple's work here will have the same effect that advertising did on RSS, which is that newsletters will turn into truncated notifications designed to bring you to a website where they can get the business metrics they "think" they need.

Um yeah, because when I was a kid my grandfather let us ride in the grain collection cart. That was basically a large hopper on wheels with a funnel shape on the bottom to feed the grain elevator in the barn. We rode out to the fields. When the harvesters were full they'd come and "pour" a load into the wagon with kids in it. Buried my brothers from the waist down IIRC. Fun stuff. Safe and smart thing to let kids do? Nope.

There are a lot of people with lower standards for safety like the PP indicated. They're not all wrong.
That is flat wrong in my experience. I browse with javascript and CSS both disabled by default, using uMatrix. Only a minority of sites I browse require me to whitelist JS or CSS; maybe 1-in-10. Most newspapers and blogs do not require JS or CSS.

I think you may be mixing things up between advertising and marketing. Marketing is where things like newsletter click engagement tracking happens.

Usually you are dealing with the actual company sending the newsletter, at that point, and not the advertising industry.

Better to think of marketing engagement tracking through these dark patterns as being a form of forcibly getting you to fill out a comment card at a restaurant than to think of it as having anything to do with advertising.

IMO it's not as simple as "just use Access". In addition to maps and keyword lists, there are structs in play.

Access works with maps and keyword lists, but not structs. There are pieces of code I've written that reasonably accept map or struct, but not keyword list.

Map.get/3 also has a default value; Access only lets you use `nil` for that.

OTOH, the nil-eating behavior of Access is terribly convenient sometimes.

It's all about what you need at the time. There is more than one way to do it, for a reason.

Good point, you are totally right. I don't drive a car which uses the infotainment system for mission-critical functionality. I've actually run it without the infotainment system in the car at all. Tesla's would effectively be bricked without the head unit functioning.

Ford and the rest of the reputable OEMs know a thing or two about flash degradation though. It was actually a huge sticking point in one of my infotainment projects with them. So I don't expect all the OEMs to make the same bone-headed mistakes Tesla has

Having dealt with them enough, now, I'm entirely sure that the average hospital billing department sufficiently resembles an organized criminal enterprise that a whole bunch of the people involved would be behind bars, in any remotely just world.

I didn't vote on your post, but I did read it earlier and found it a bit silly. "White coat" syndrome- getting nervous going to the doctor or for medical things, is definitely real. I have it too. I always have a hard time getting my blood pressure checked because I get so involuntarily aggravated by the whole thing. And there are definitely people afraid of needles. But (nearly) everyone has various vaccinations during life, and it feels implausible that you've identified some special new condition people are getting (that in this case was already expected and is just higher) that is specific to these vaccine based on stress instead of the known rare response of the body.
If it turns out that pit bulls are 10x more likely to bite me than golden retrievers, it doesn't matter whether this is due to genetics or to correlated owner behavior. I'm walking down the street, see a pit bull, and have only that information to go on when assessing whether I should proceed cautiously or turn around and increase distance.

Also relevant is that the breed has an effect on the seriousness of injury if an attack does occur. Obviously I'm going to be less fearful of a chihuahua even if they're more aggressive than the terrier. It's the difference between antibiotics and stitches vs. facial reconstruction.
The problem you're referring to is how BD encryption keys are rotated as they are compromised. When a player gets reversed and the keys dumped, the organization basically revokes those keys for any new discs going forward. Practically, this means that things like when your particular BD was pressed matter for what keys you need. It's a pain in the ass; deCSS was much nicer.

I'm well aware of this practice and have no objection to it, in general. However, unless a company provides enough relevant information (e.g., feature breakdown per tier, other details) on the pricing page, IMO it could be better implemented as a button, link, one-liner or other compact visual element located on the home page, without wasting time and effort on repeating - and maintaining - essentially the same marketing copy on a separate page (as is the case here).
FWIW, I am "personally" sick of the Internet reminding me of the thing I already bought yesterday, along with doubling down on ads for things I only engage with because I want to show my friends how stupid the ad/product is, which seems to be the state of the art of "personalized" Internet ads. I would honestly get more value--if I am forced to see ads--out of less personalized ads.

Depending who you try to order it from, you may be backordered for a month or two trying to order an iPad, yes. Ford has shut down some of their factories because they can't get their hands on parts.

For very large companies, stock still exists, especially if built over the last year or two, but as shortages continue, in the near future, you may, in fact, not be able to leave a Ford dealership with a new car.

I would assume incompetence before malice and living in some kind of idealized bubble compared to field testing and dog fooding their own product in a very large variety of circumstances.

One car executive that I've known said this: "The very best test drivers are our end users, in the first week after release we learn more about a car than we do in the months of field testing prior.". I am not going to name the individual but it makes good sense and I have seen the same with all software products released to the general public.
