> So... where is it if not in the "inpatient and outpatient care" bucket? Sure, maybe minus whatever portion of that represents profit, OK, but that can't be so much as to render it anywhere near being negligible.

> Or is the 25% figure from the other link off by, oh, 5x or more?

No, the 25% figure from your link isn't off at all, it's that you're mixing up denominators. You can't take the 25% figure from hospital costs, the $10,637 from the per capita figure, and then conclude that hospital admin s 25% of $10,637. If you want to insert your number into my number in an apples-to-apples way, you have to actually look what hospitals pay per capita. There's a huge normalization step that you just skipped.

Fortunately, your own link does this work:

"Hospital administration costs ranged from 1.43 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in the United States ($667 per capita) to 0.41 percent of GDP ($158 per capita) in Canada."

$667 per capita is a drop in the bucket. If I were to guess, the reason why the analysis I linked didn't factor it in was because it doesn't change its conclusion:

"The U.S. also spends more on administrative costs, but perhaps not as much as people think, and spends significantly less on long-term care."

This is in line with my observation on the ground as well, especially the observation that admin costs typically involve extremely high upfront costs (setting up EHR systems, EDI integrations, book-keeping systems), but lower variable costs from an operating standpoint especially relative to the sheer cost of care itself (doctors, equipment, maintenance, etc etc etc).
Sure.

Just to be clear, the part you are wrong about is this:

> If you only have a single member of the pair, then you will see the same interference pattern in a double slit experiment than with a not-entangled particle.

This bit:

> It doesn't matter if the other particle has collided with a brick, went thru a double slit experiment, went thru a bad double slit experiment, or is flying to Andromeda.

is correct.

Also, there is an interference pattern in the results of a double-slit run on entangled particles, but it is not "the same" as you get with non-entangled particles, and the procedure you have to go through to observe this interference pattern is radically different.
I agree.

This reminds me of a story I heard at a presentation when working at a bank. A politician was going through a closing process for property he was purchasing. He had an issue and found out that the banks automatically tac on PMI for his type of loan, regardless of loan to value ratios.

A year later, their state passed legislation saying PMI cannot be forced on mortgaged loans with certain ratios and must be disclosed before closing.

Funny how things work :)
Doesn't this fix do the trick? https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/20256/commits/441e01...
> 'the relative positions of celestial bodies influence events on the earth'.

Who's claiming that‽ The relative positions of celestial bodies have influenced all sorts of events. For instance, the horoscopes in the newspaper, or photographs of the night sky.

No, what's in doubt is astrology, which is a much more specific set of (wrong) claims.
The distinction between "adding" and "removing" a postulate is an important, non-arbitrary one.

The "worlds" are there in both theories; Copenhagen adds a new phenomenon (non-unitary evolution) which makes some of them disappear at unspecified times. The "worlds" are direct consequences of suppositions shared with Copenhagen.

Many worlds has N postulates, Copenhagen has no fewer than N+1. One theory is a strict subset of the other's premises. It is not at all accurate to say that many worlds is the one that "introduces" suppositions.
What are you arguing here? Everything you said is consistent with "money for doing nothing".
Since USA already prints money for unlimited deficits, the personal income tax is not needed for revenue. It is a program to peer into the private bits of people's lives and keep people in fear of the IRS/gov't.

I'm sex-/sex-worker-/kink-positive, so I don't care what consenting adults do or do for work.

I know an OnlyFans creator in my apartments. She's a conceited, entitled, selfish, horrible human being who I turned-down a BJ from because I didn't know where her mouth has been (think herpes). She's not even hot but still makes a living at it, so that means there's enough of an audience of men for basically any woman. She spent $13k on plastic surgery and doesn't have anything to show for it... not my type. Her voice is raspy-wrecked from hard living drinking and smoking too much. She's like a really bad restaurant owner without a scalable business or an exit strategy.

I, OTOH, produce/edit/star as male hetero talent in unidentifiable, noncommercial content on PornHub for fun. I don't care what people do, but it's probably not a career without a personality, branding, exceptionally good genes, and a plastic surgeon. If it's your thing, go for it.

Bitcoin has no power in the real world. For digital transactions is has some leverage as pure data is much harder to control. Unless people are spending their Bitcoin gainz on Second Life property and not real world assets then regulation targeting the "middle men" is simply common sense.

Crypto is trivial for a functioning government to regulate, until we all live in the Matrix.
This is kinda creepy. I'm glad this person and their public transportation shadow/muse never made eye contact, because she probably would have made a nasty face or stuck out her tongue and we'd be reading about how we're all preteen girls now.

Pretty cool, I played with it at work to get some kind of printer dashboard that polled the printers periodically through SNMP for consumable status, displayed on one of our monitors in the IT department. It was also flexible so it displayed well on mobile too. It only required a Raspberry Pi, hooked up behind the TV.

It worked quite well, but we switched to a fully-managed printer provider since so I don't have to care for the printers anymore.

This is really brilliant. I wonder if there is an opportunity to do something with this tech stack and sign language? That would be very cool.
I don't think this is a good take. Go, Java, Rust, Python, Swift; they all basically eliminate the bug class we're talking about. The rest is ergonomics, which are subjective.

"Don't use Rust because it is GC'd" is a take that I think basically nobody working on memory safety (either as a platform concern or as a general software engineering concern) would agree with.
I love this.

Though, I apparently found a new bug. I got to Bluefinch with the boy, but then I'm unable to enter any commands and have to reload the tab. Still can't seem to do anything there.
The real problem is, these products are $0 and really good. I've seen countless examples of greatly-executed newcomers displacing the leading solution. Most knockoff services don't understand that they need to be genuinely, perceptably better than the competition to succeed. Easy example of a success story: Discord.
Last time I looked, the frontend was built with Preact.
Even worse, there are platforms with >=128-bit pointers but 64-bit address space. Rust has chosen usize to be uintptr_t rather than size_t, even though it mostly uses it as if it was size_t. A ton of code is going to subtly break when these two sizes ever differ. Rust is likely already doomed on >64-bit platforms, and is going to be forced to invent its own version of a LLP64 workaround.
Can you monopolize a plant? There's multiple reason the BigPharma have figured out ways to synthesize equivalent things to naturally occurring plants, but one of the reasons is they can patent their process and ensure they can keep that strangle hold in place.
I've noticed people who are glued to their phones are typically awkward around people, many are very depressed and unhappy, and most have few if any real life accomplishments. I don't mean Nobel prizes either. I mean like, planted a garden or made a pie from scratch to share with friends. How could they? They have no time left after spending all day on their phones.

I gave a new neighbor a bag of potatoes that I grew in my yard as a welcome gift when I went to introduce myself. At first she was puzzled about why I would go to the store to buy her potatoes, until I explained that I grew them. Then I could tell that she had no idea what to do with raw potatoes. Then her phone buzzed and she stopped interacting with me. She didn't say thank you or bid me farewell. I just had to walk away from the entirely awkward interaction. She tapped away on the screen in her doorway, oblivious to the world around her as I left.
One would think a sign out front that said "Now hiring: Wait staff, starting pay @ $40/hr (or even $30/hr)" would have no trouble finding and retaining talent, even in big cities like Seattle.

I don't think I've ever seen a sign advertising anything near that for restaurants.
This might be a good course, or it might not. I'd be skeptical, and triangulate with other sources. Which is probably good advice for any course, but does involve substantial effort.

Hillsdale College has opted to receive no federal funding so as to not have to do any affirmative action. I realize that Hillsdale has anti-discrimination in its charter and so forth, but this does seem like a red flag.

Hillsdale publications have taken up the weird Anti-Critical Race Theory crusade: https://imprimis.hillsdale.edu/critical-race-theory-fight/ which is not a good sign, since that's entirely a propaganda effort.

If I did this course, I'd not take any of it on faith.
I remember that thread, the "I burned all the glucose out of my brain & gave myself seizures" isn't how things work. It seems like he has unresolved mental health issues (which I'm sure were either caused or exacerbated by burnout), and came up with a rather strange self diagnosis.
You cannot envision a profit model for selling psychedelics?
You are fundamentally misunderstanding Occam's Razor. It is not a law - Occam's Razor is a preference for how to view the world, not a law that was violated.

Yes, Occam's Razor isn't a law but a method of understanding reality. My point is that if you throw out Occam's Razor in total, not in one or another situations, you're left with nothing to understand the world with.

The "God wants it that ways" and "because it's simulation" can be substituted for any proposition at all under any circumstances and there's not counter argument to such substitutions. This approach is also "the paranoid worldview" - "because they want to think that" also has this "insert everywhere" quality.

And you're link describing the original ideas of William of Occam doesn't what you'd imagine. "Occam's Razor" is broad approach that's evolved over time and just takes that label for convennience. Virtually no one is evoking the authority of William of Occam or claiming to follow his Nominalism or whatever. The generally means that adding unneeded hypotheses should generally be avoided. If you can never follow that guide, you're in trouble.
There's a very interesting subset of people on Reddit's Personal Finance forum who seem to think that buying was the right move (kinda, see below) for them, but that renters "don't know how good they have it".

Watch any one of the threads on "should I buy/can I afford/pros/cons", and you'll see a vocal subset who seem hellbent on convincing people that owning a house is nothing more than opening your wallet/checkbook/credit card every other weekend for the "next four digit maintenance issue".
You're part of the (I would guess) about 25-30% of the US population where the stars align perfectly and you receive a mostly positive experience from the US healthcare system. You are employed full-time, with an employer that provides a generous health plan, have had no long interruptions of employment/coverage, and you don't appear to have any serious chronic issues.

You're still being robbed of a ton of money (US healthcare procedure costs, i.e. pregnancy, have no actual bearing on what it costs to provide that service), but the system is so opaque and convoluted that there's no personal benefit for you to track down how much. You and I and many others live in more or less ignorant bliss about how much money is being redirected from our pockets to parasites in the insurance/provider system because we don't know any better.

We're still losing in this situation, it just doesn't feel as acutely painful to us as it does to those who are outside the upper middle class bubble.

It doesn't cost as much as you might think. The word it's stored in is overloaded with the object lock and garbage collection bits.
I assume you're referring to the Caltrain upgrade. It was completely wild to me that a railway line through a major metropolitan area would have level crossings. They're usually a rural thing in other countries.

But the risk is that bad software or a bad bridge can pose as good software or a good bridge until something catastrophic happens.

Software might be more like a novel if you are consuming the code/design, but to write a good novel one must be far more than just literate.

The industry changes slowly, and definitely regulators like the FDA were too hardware focused for a long time. Less so in the last 10-20 years.

They've always been pretty good about critical systems but less so about "secondary" ones, and there are old devices out there where it shows.

These days most of the industry has reasonable guidance and standards to follow. Characterizing "the industry" is hard; it includes cloud based data handling products and embedded devices with minimal software, etc. - a huge range.

In both these areas (and others,to be sure), there is a formal engineering process that looks quite similar - and you need to embrace it in your software development or there will be a lot of friction. The goals of it are pretty sensible, but the approaches may seem odd to some with more mainstream software backgrounds.
Tesla plans to open Superchargers to other automakers later this year
So, who stands behind the hack? Scary Russians?
I don't know about bloat per se, but I think putting `equals` on all objects is a design flaw. This implicitly assumes that every object has a single implementation that works for every case, which is frequently false. Some objects have no semantically meaningful concept of "equals". Others have situation-specific definitions.

A better design (which C# has made some steps towards) is defining interfaces for Equatable and Hashable, and requiring the object to implement methods that return them. Then they can return them or not, or have multiple implementations of each if needed. Or users of the objects can define their own, custom implementations easily.
Poorly designed security architecture and division of labor. A more idealized init / systemd would have all of the execution flow of PID 1 mathematically provably correct, and correspondingly have as small a footprint as possible there. All additional functions would run under one or more child processes (where the bulk of systemd would execute).

Well of course, everybody knows for it to be a real extortion attempt first you have to fill out a 543B detailing payment options, severity of firebombing in case of failure to comply and ancillary terms & conditions. Otherwise it's just a couple of guys exploring some hypotheticals like they do on HN and Reddit all the time.

Honestly, if this is what the defense is going to look like it's not hard to see why they're reluctant to try it out in front of a judge.
In-arguable these days.
There's literally zero evidence that a program written in Rust is actually practically safer than one written in C at the same scale. And there won't be any evidence of this for some time because no Rust program is as widely deployed as an equivalent highly used C program.
Retarded response... you know what I meant. Go to the pub and wait for this to all blow over.
I think part of the reason is that Baltimore has pumped up murder rates due to it being an independent city. The situation is bad, but that inflates the number.
You test for it with rigor and incorporate new learning, just like every other engineering discipline.
I think its more like that the parent comment ultimately 'invited' (and started) this so-called flamewar you are accusing me of.

Dismissing the achievements of a certain project to only bring up somebody else's one and promote this clear bias is how flamewars start.

I'm only just putting out the fires and celebrating the achievements of every other company competing and launching their rockets into 'space'.
The title cites a record rate, but I can’t find where they say what the previous record rate was. It makes sense for a time like now to be when a record number of people are changing jobs. Is this a massive increase though, or a slight one?
I do think that if it's persistently difficult to find workers for non-distortionary reasons, prices will likely increase gradually with whatever attendant effects there are from that.

1) Install XCode and the associated command line utilities. This will get you all of Apple's tooling.

2) Install Homebrew. That will let you get (and stay current with) just about anything else you need. Homebrew has supported M1 for a while now.

At least for now, MacOS does come with some stuff like Ruby and Python already installed, but that's not going to be the case forever, and the versions that come with the system tend to be pretty far out of date. You many want to install node and npm too.

I recommend installing newer ones using Homebrew (or some other package manager of your choice) unless you have some strong reason for wanting to use the version that comes with MacOS.

Ruby, Python, and Node are often used as scripting glue for other developer tools (even ones that don't specifically use those languages) so I think it's good to have current versions of all of those.

Depending on what you're doing, you may or may not want to install gcc. Apple's C (which comes with XCode) is LLVM-based these days.

For many things it doesn't matter, but for a few packages only gcc can build them properly. I'm holding off on installing that until I need it, personally. So far I haven't, but I've only had my M1 for about a month and have mostly been doing Node stuff with it. I did have gcc on my old machine, because there were a couple of things I used from time to time that needed it.
Well, in Virgil, a class without a superclass is a new root class, with no assumed methods. To use an object of that class as a key in a hashtable, one provides a hash function to the hashtable constructor. (The hash function can be a class method, or a top-level function; with generics, a hashtable key could as well be any type, including primitives). Of course it depends on how your write your code, but most of my objects do not end up as keys in a hashtable, so don't need a hash function nor storage for an identity hashcode.

So the smallest object header for a Virgil object is 4 bytes: it's just a type ID that is used for dynamic casts and as an index into a table for GC scanning. Arrays have two 4 byte header fields: the type ID and a 32-bit length. That's considerably more memory efficient than 2 or 3 64-bit header words for Java objects and arrays, respectively.
Your level of pedantry is warranted and I agree with it.
NSO effectively operates a SaaS platform for target exploitation and collection. They can easily add a restriction that prevents specific phone numbers from being targeted.

My guess is that such a restriction is in place to meet contractual obligations. If you weaponize an exploit against US targets, you'll never get a US based broker to sell further exploits to you.
This is why we need to get past the idea that everyone needs to work to earn a living. Why does anyone need to earn the right to live? Our society has enough empty homes to house the homeless, and throws away enough food to feed the hungry. Why are people still homeless and hungry then?

Take your example of the steel plant. Presumably when the 9500 people were laid off, productivity remained the same (or increased) and costs went down. Where did the extra profit go? Was it dispersed among the remaining 500 workers? Was it used to help the displaced workers who devoted years building the steel mill and keeping it running? The very people who designed, forged, and brought on-line the machines which replaced them? No, the upside went to the owners, because they have a slip of paper that says they own the mill.

Our problem is not that we're automating away jobs, it's that the displaced workers don't get to share in the benefits of that automation. Eliminating a job is seen as a disaster, rather than a victory. We should want to eliminate terrible jobs, not keep them around just so someone can stay busy. And I guarantee you, people who don't have to work will find something to do. There's always work to be done, just not all of it is profitable (e.g. raising children, taking care of the elderly, volunteering, open source coding, etc.)
There are (in my limited understanding) too many confounding issues to be able to say that its ok to get off your head regulars with drug X but not with drug Y.

In my (again limited) understanding, saying "all these are bad for us long-term (to wildly varying degrees), but it seems likely that other factors (childhood, mental illness, social position, economic, family and social) all play as important if not more important roles.

Lets unban them if they have some medicinal purposes, but lets not pretend that having mushrooms and amphetamines marketed by the same socially-minded people pushing Marlboros for decades is going to make the world a better place, and please lets not think that if we strike a blow for freedom, its ok to stop worrying about all those other confounding issues. (But I concede its a lot easier to legislatively fix banned psychedelics than to fix childhood abuse, poverty and mental health. But that's why we pay government the big taxes, to take on the big jobs. )
