For an emergency MRI? Are you insane?

For reference, i got an MRI in two days for knee pain after i fell with a bike and the pain didn't go away after a few weeks ( so obviously nothing urgent).

And FYI, i paid for it, iirc 60-100 euros, repaid in full by my medical insurance.
You're misinterpreting the discussion, I think. I can't tell if it's intentional or not.

Nobody was coming down on anyone for their accomplishments.

My intended contribution was that some (or in my experience, many) people in already achieved positions, regardless of how they arrived in their materially advanced station, might mistake the circumstances of another who is less materially fortunate as being so because it's a product of the less fortunate person's intrinsic inner worth.

And when someone, who is trying to breach those meritocratic strata for financial or other material rewards, encounters that kind of mindset in their superiors it can be terribly inhibiting—like trying to climb a hill of ice that refuses to believe it's slippery of its own accord and that the continual flailing of the climber is a failing of the climber alone. Or sometimes that would-be climber prefers to stick around the plains and enjoy the views. Neither of those situations makes the would-be climber a less-capable, less whole person—even if the would-be climber cannot see the icy hill for what it is.

("Why not pick a better hill" is about as controllable as "why not be born into a more materially advanced family")
I wasn't responding to you, but what other way would you choose to opt out? SSID is one of the few things you can adjust on almost any access point.

Hotspots are relevant because they are often personal and they follow you around, so if they didn't randomize their hardware address, then anyone could track your movements.

I got past feeling that bugs were "impossible" early in my career - if it happens in a computer, it can be fixed. What is impossible is providing the demanded estimate as to when such a bug will be fixed. But we have to anyway.

It's interesting that the responses you got were all dev related improvements (better line endings, WSL, hyper-v etc.) but I thought I'd try to take a stab at this from a non-power user's perspective:

- Better bluetooth integration (N/A in XP? Unreliable in Win7?)

- Snipping tool (Don't remember if in XP, definitely part of win7)

- Improved automatic driver detection (Drivers were pretty rough in XP, okay in win7 but still needed manufacturer installs for many things)

- Built in camera app? (Voice recorder was always there for audio testing)

- Built in free mail app (outlook always cost money)

- Better out-of-the box browser (windows edge vs. IE)

- Free, good quality firewall (windows defender, came later in Win7 as an update not in XP)

I found it to actually be a difficult exercise which either says something about my memory of the old OS's or it reveals a distinct lack of dramatic changes.
How much do they care about my code quality during the interview?

One reason I appreciate pair programming interviews is it lets me evaluate their attention to detail. I hear their feedback as I code and I can assess “is this someone that has great cares to their code?” It’s at least a signal someone on the team cares.
Thank you for that. I used to read Crooked Timber pretty regularly, years ago. In fact, I had one of the sometime contributors for a semester as a philosophy professor (back in the last century).

I agree Haidt's model is flawed, especially on the idea of sacredness being something liberals aren't concerned with. I think he's onto something, but he's painted with too broad a brush.

Lately, I've been reading a lot on the subject of religion: specifically, from an anthropological or sociological perspective. I'm interested in the idea of ersatz religions—filling the void left by modernity's secularism. My suspicion is that the great bulk of people cannot do without the things that religion affords; and so if they aren't "religious" in the traditional sense, they unwittingly find some substitute that does everything but revere Christ, YHWH, Allah, etc.

Behavior that fits that model I see again and again, on what we think of as the political left.

> What about patients that end up costing .1x?

I imagine X here is more of a lower bound than anything else - which is where the problem comes in with up-front pricing.

It's like up-front "how long will this feature take" quotes from developers. Doable, but very difficult to truly accurately estimate.

Doing this on historical data - where the range likely ends up more like .8x to 10x - would be the only sane way, vs trying to come up with it from first principles.

It's definitely not the hospitals fault. It's insurance companies getting involved since paying out of pocket is abnormal. So when you do pay out of pocket, you're paying what the insurance company pays and the hospital billing department is most likely very apathetic to that. Since they operate as non-profits, they often are willing to negotiate. Which is most likely why they can get away with this as opposed to a for profit entity.
the bug is hard to reproduce locally

One of the things I like about LLVM is that it is written as passes. It's possible to stop after a pass and dump everything to IR/GMIR text. It's also possible to start a pass with this text. This makes unit testing of passes possible.

GlobalISel is a rewrite of the instruction selection mechanism. I'm not sure what GlobalISel offers above monolithic SelectionDAG (well, it's faster) but it is much easier to test because it's broken into irtranslator, legalizer, regbankselect and instruction-select passes each of which can be unit tested independently.

I've been running this[0] solution on machines that I need to control the reboot cycle due to long running processes.

It has been working flawlessly for the past two years and has survived multiple feature upgrades.

What it does is override the call to the executable that schedules the reboot using the Windows built in debugging tools.

One line registry patch and the executable is redirected elsewhere.

I know a healthy adult who was hospitalized with a bafflingly terrible flu in December 2019. They lost consciousness and it was not obvious that they were going to make it. They had just returned from a business trip to China. Still, it could have just been their body being unable to cope with a foreign strain of flu, I suppose.
This is pretty accurate, from someone who just got one as a gift. They are useful devices, however your criticism is spot on.

That said, a couple big advantages I haven’t seen advertised:

- I don’t have a dozen notebooks around, just one
- easy to start a new notebook, plus the centralization, is sort of an “organized by default” mode
- I can’t take notes on my computer, so it’s either this or paper
- distraction free is good, and the physicality of the pen and screen is a much better experience than an iPad

Your other criticisms are valid and a little too accurate. It’s still a useful device, there’s just a bit of a premium price because of the fancy factors you discussed.
On my OS at least (ubuntu and probably many others) it can resolve by hostname (after all that is the whole point of having hostnames). So I just do `ssh remarkable` without even having an `.ssh` entry for it.
The first point didn't age so well. All developed countries have an easier immigration path for skilled workers than the US. Yes, even Japan.
There was no insurance company involved in the above story.

> So when you do pay out of pocket, you're paying what the insurance company pays and the hospital billing department is most likely very apathetic to that.

This has nothing to do with a health insurance company.

> Since they operate as non-profits, they often are willing to negotiate. Which is most likely why they can get away with this as opposed to a for profit entity.

This has nothing to do with non profit tax status. Car dealerships negotiate too.
Same, but mid December in SF. It hit our office pretty hard.
I am not sure it was COVID, it could have just been a nasty cold that happened to sweep through right before COVID hit. But the timing was definitely odd.
> Patients that end up costing 10x what was expected due to complications. For her this is a minuscule risk, but in her negotiations it has been their main worry.

And that's probably one of the biggest reason hospitals don't want to talk about actual costs. If you tell someone it's going to cost $X for removing their appendix, but they have a heart attack on the table it's not going to cost $X any more.

Doesn't make lack of transparency right, but in this scenario, I can sort of see why.
It is clearly valid. I personally don't care if others use "he" as a generic, but seeing at some people don't feel included when it is used, I increasingly use "they". Not least when I don't know someones preference, because I consider the most inclusive option to be the most polite.
I think of them as PR firms now. Unfortunately, journalism has probably been like that for a long time since special interests can pitch stories to journalists. They've put a lot of effort into making themselves seem like mere unbiased reporters of what is newsworthy but it's becoming apparent that they can and do push certain viewpoints on behalf of their 'clientele' which may include political parties.
This comment was meant as a response to a different one in another thread about electoral democracy how it works nowadays.
My mom believes Obama to be a Muslim (as an "aging" conspiracy theory, this is hopefully less political than current ones).

She's never been good with schedules and doesn't know how to send an email-attachment, but she's not dumb. She's just your stereotypical aging baby boomer who's just retired. Despite her own concerns of mental disease as she ages... I haven't witnessed anything of the sort (Dementia and delusions run on my Dad's side of the family, not my mother's side).

Have you ever tried to talk a parent out of such a conspiracy theory? Because I have. Its impossible to convince them that Obama is a Christian, despite photographic evidence or whatever.

Its ultimately just a thing that I accept about my mom. She believes in that conspiracy theory (Obama is a Muslim), and there's nothing I can do to change it.

Its not like my mom pulls the "parent" card out on me either. As far as I can tell, we discussed things as equal adults, but never came to an agreement over that particular factoid. If Obama was appearing in church, its only to keep up with the Presidential expectations to look Christian while in office (at least, in her mind). If he's got a birth certificate from Hawaii, it was doctored. Mainstream Media reporting on Obama's appearances in Church are unreliable and biased. Obama is faking it when he prays in public. Etc. etc.

There's always a response, each one more ludicrous than the last. Its turtles all the way down. They believe in conspiracy theories that support other conspiracy theories in a "stable" footing. Their entire mindset is built around the conspiracy, and its very difficult to budge them from it.

She's surrounded by other people she trusts more than me on this issue. She listens to her pastor, her fellow church members more so than me. (Its just me vs many people. So from a social perspective, I'm coming in on the disadvantage because her ENTIRE church group believes in this crap). My father (her husband) doesn't seem to care about changing her opinion either, much like myself (its definitely not worth the effort). So we give up.

Its a point of stress and ultimately doesn't matter anymore. So why bother correcting it now? Obama is out of office and can't be elected again, and its not like my mom is a Q (or otherwise a "current" conspiracy theorist who is actually dangerous).

She seemed to be a COVID19 denier initially, but when members of her church group started dying, that quickly reversed course on its own. Some conspiracies are harder to keep than others. So the truth comes out when its really important and personal.

Perhaps not Europe as a whole, but definitely the concentrated structure of land ownership, e.g. https://www.businessinsider.com/why-hugh-grosvenor-duke-of-w...

To some extent I think the social structures produced by inherited wealth are anti-conduicive to innovation. Where's the innovation in the US? Most would say it's concentrated out west, in a state that didn't exist until 1850. The social structures of concentrated wealth in the South from the slavery era make it less innovative. And the northeast centers on money-making-money and property ownership.

The real sweet spot, of course, is cashing out: finding how to get the old money and oil money to invest in your new innovation. The success of WeWork, for example.

I also don't think making software or making a platform is "near zero marginal cost." Sure someone can hack something together with off the shelf components in a short time, but building a sustainable product or service isn't easy and takes a lot of resources. Copycat products or making the nth widget might be things which are low marginal cost, but then those who don't innovate die off.

what i've found/heard in germany is this:

you may struggle/it may take long to find certain things to get a diagnosis, but once you do, it's a ball that gets rolling insanely fast.

2 anecdotal examples:

colleague's young child was fainting, took them quite a while to get through the right set of doctors/specialists to find out it was a brain tumor - after that was found though, they were scheduled for surgery the next morning. Operation successful, child okay.

I had an appendectomy in the middle of covid: went to the ER unannounced at 7 p.m. - was on the table at 1 a.m. - i paid 50 euros (10 for each day i spent there (they kept me for 3-4 days "just in case")). This was quoted to me up front (the rate, but not the number of days) and i signed a document stating i understood that charge before i was in surgery.

Part of that is why HSA's are heavily promoted since you get pre-tax dollars to go toward an account you can use specifically for these reasons. So in essence, that "out of pocket" money would be coming from your HSA. In practice however, that's not really the norm.
The reason this works is that bad debt, sold off to collection companies, is worth about 3 cents on the dollar.

You can get much better discounts by talking to the hospital's business/billing office and demonstrating difficulty to pay.
Historically, serfs who were convinced by their ruling lords, that they were free, believed in hard work. The biggest difference from today is, in late feudalism, serfs had more holidays than us: Indeed, if we’re to believe Dr Lynn Parramore, senior research analyst at the Institute for New Economic Thinking, we’re working a lot harder than medieval peasants did. “Ploughing and harvesting were backbreaking toil,” she says, “but the peasant enjoyed anywhere from eight weeks to half the year off.”https://www.smh.com.au/business/workplace/compared-to-you-an...
I agree with most of the points you made, however:

> Knowledge is something anyone can attain

I don't agree with this. I don't have a proof for this, but I think this is the kind of thinking that can trap people (and society) in the mindset of "they should work more" or something. Where I live (France), people with disabilities can get money from the state because they're considered "unfit for work". This doesn't mean that they can't and shouldn't work, but that compared to the average person, working for them is harder so we try to make life easier for them, to compensate. I think something like that for "intelligence" could be nice (although I wouldn't know how to measure it).

We already have something that looks like UBI in France (RSA) but it's not really universal. For example, I don't benefit from it because I work. Students also don't get it. I like the idea of UBI though, not having to work to live is appealing to me in principle.

IANAL but the fact that you are using wifi means that you are authorizing others to monitor everything you transmit -- that is literally in the wifi standard. It is also worth pointing out that no computers are being "accessed" here, we are talking about recording the wifi beacons that APs broadcast (also part of the standard), so the only relevant laws should be those governing radio equipment. Even if we wanted a world of tightly controlled access to radio receivers (again, we are talking about recording and not about transmitting), the ISM bands that wifi uses were specifically set aside for unlicensed use by the general public.

The fact is that your ability to simply plug in a wifi router and use it with any devices you want, without having to coordinate with anyone or buy a SIM card or whatever else, comes with the understanding that anyone else can monitor your wifi network for any purpose (and in fact this is a requirement of the wifi standard). If monitoring someone's wifi transmissions required their explicitly approval, nobody would be able to use wifi -- every time you moved your phone from one place to another, you would first need permission from every wifi station operator to monitor their transmissions before your phone could use wifi (you would not even be able to join a network you had previously used, because doing so requires your phone to listen to beacons being transmitted by nearby APs).

I am surprised anyone would want reflow in their PDFs (that is what epub is for). The PDFs I read would be completely ruined even by minor reflow (e.g. I work with two-column text with many inline figures and math). PDF inherently as a format is not meant to have reflow.
