> It’s deliberately engineered by the airlines so they can sell that same space twice.

It seems more likely that they chose to leave the existing ambiguity in place than that they deliberately engineered it. They have more to lose than gain by designating explicit right-of-way, same with arm rest possession. Instead they leave it to bottom up negotiation, which works well most of the time.
But you can never know, so no sensible person would ever trust such an AI. AI stands for "automated irresponsibility." Didn't you know that?

Maybe AI's are really being created to serve a special class of gullible human who don't understand basic epistemology.

We all, including politicians, threw their hands up when Skirelli got greedy.

SEC went after him for show.

Not one law was enacted to prevent another greedy entity from doing the same thing.

(I don't even blame the guy. Everything he did with that drug was legal. I do blame politicians whom did nothing to stop the greed afterwards. I really think most of these old coots on both sides actually believe totally free market medicine will save them one day from old age.)
You're right. No one dies anymore in the rest of the world.
Mexico City is near the equator (1,342.38 mi). London (3,558.31 mi) and Australia (Sydney: 2,339.14 mi) aren't? Though Darwin is closer (860.93 mi) to the equator than Mexico City. So I guess you could be right but if you're like most people and live in NSW or Perth, you probably live a lot further away.
I 100% agree with this view. Its not practical to go cold turkey as people would freeze and starve.

It’s one of the reasons I’m anti-pipeline. I’m generally against anything that makes it easier to get and distribute fossil fuels. Adding friction is an alternative way to internalize the cost of fossil fuels.
> Reminds me of the NY Times saying in 1903 that humans wouldn't fly for at least 1 million years. Glad the Wright brothers and others weren't listening.

The difference is in 1903 the breakthrough technology of human flight was not being depended on as a matter of skirting existential crises.

Both apocalyptic defeatism and procrastinatory techno-optimism are failure modes.
This means this is ripe for innovation that is an order of magnitude improvement. Which means there’s significant startup profit to be made from innovating and bringing this down to 70 years.
We built the current prototype on the YC investment. Before that, I self funded. The current prototype's 20 ft and cheaper than you might expect.

We've found YC enormously helpful and worth the dilution, providing structure, advice, and also momentum. We've gotten a ton done this summer!
I'd say the natural state we should aspire to return the environment to is prior to the industrial revolution when we really started messing up the atmospheric CO2 levels.

There may be long term climate changes that man is not part of, but those are negligible across the past 150 years or so.
I have the same problem at Kroger. I'm slow because the machine forces me to place an item fully on the scale (and wait a second or so) before it will accept the scanning of another. I'm usually waving an item in frustration across the laser multiple times while it figures out what happened to the last item I scanned. Customers are not the problem, IMO. It's dead simple to use these machines, usability issues aside.
I mean, yes, FPGAs and dedicated hardware are researched and used in that field.
The main reason CPUs are used "more" is due rather to convenience, and what people want to do not easily being doable on an FPGA ; for instance one of the often used programming languages there (Faust) just got an experimental FPGA port after 20+ years of existence.

But when talking about performance the point is to extract the absolute most performance possible of a given hardware, because you are building a product and you can only afford a.g. some ARM chip and need to get the most out of it to make your product's price fit for its target demographic (to, you know, make money for your business).

In particular, the main "competition" in that field is analog hardware which does not have "performance" issues (but others instead : an analog guitar distortion does not have latency but it does raise the noise floor in the signal) - everyone wants the best of both worlds and it is our job to make it happen
Because you pay one way or another, via taxes in Austria, or via insurance deductions in other countries, or sometimes a combination of both. With the tax route their is also austerity, we won't buy that park for children cos paying for a single customer of biogen for twelve months has removed that opportunity (these decisions are obviously at aggregate scale). Tldr you pay way more than six euros unless it's just a nonpatent generic antibiotic or fever medicine
> Eliminates most problems with cars.

Except now every street crossing becomes a death trap because you're outside the cone of visual awareness of drivers.
Author here; it relates more with physical security and I've used them in the military and in corporate structures. Most duress word programs are designed to be spoken; say security calls because an alarm is set off and the aggressors are coercing you to get the security off their backs. One may say, "Sorry I was working late and fumbled the alarm. Mr. Rogers has a board meeting tomorrow so I've been working late," where Mr Rogers is a fake name of no one that works at the company.

I kinda just thought to turn that concept into a PAM as a thought-experiment mostly but there are some edge case security examples where something like this could be useful, say for journalists or when dealing with corporate espionage.
I think it's a counter-productive line of reasoning. That drug doesn't cost $50K+ anywhere else in the world. Hypotheticals are all well and good, but let's stay grounded in reality as well.

When you have so many facts demonstrating that government-funded medicine works just fine everywhere else, the only hypothetical worth considering is whether it would work here too.
Not a biologist, but certain sharks, whales and tortoises have been known to live for >150 years, so I suppose it is theoretically possible.
As a long-time customer (since the late 90's) I am also frustrated with Amazon these days because it's now impossible to judge the quality of the products as the website is swamped with cheap asian knock-off products, fake brands and fake reviews. It feels like 2/3 of all items are Aliexpress offers, just more expensive. It's probably a good window of opportunity for a competitor with some minimum quality guarantees and otherwise similar functionality.
Theoretically requiring a physician acts as a check against misuse of the medicine or allows for more control over reactions to the medication. There are drugs that would likely not be approved without some restriction on administration.
Imagine the opposite scenario where Bitcoin crashed by 100K USD, and they came back saying "sorry, your stuff devalued, you still owe us 100K."
Because someone still has to pay for the drugs through tax and/or subsidized through paycheck (if you have private insurance).

You might pay 6 euros per package, but that could be a 50 euro drug. The 44 euro difference is being made up through your nationalized healthcare.

If by and large, most of the drugs are reasonably priced, then a flat fee structure of 6 euros is possible, because it's small enough sum that it could easily be paid by other people who is paying into the pool, but not using the healthcare service.

In fact, up until 15-20 years ago, it was common for American health plans to have flat fee of $5-$10 for most drugs.

That went straight out the window with emergence of more expensive medications that costs tens of thousands of dollars per patient per year, which completely skewed the average price of medications, and flat fee of $5-10 became unsustainable.

Nowadays, $25-30 is the norm depending on your plan, and if your plan covers it. $50-100 is common if you insist on taking medications for which there are cheaper alternatives.

> Can someone with more familiarity explain why some drugs need to be “administered by physicians”?

There is no need, this is purely regulatory capture at work.

> Why can’t patients self administer

Probably because it's expensive to make and the potential for abuse is very high.

> why can’t a less expensive job role be imagined for a simple 5 minute visit for drugs administered in an outpatient setting?

We do have a "less expensive" job role. There are nurse practitioners who could be doing the vast majority of work that we have doctors doing right now with significantly less training with basically no downsides other than to doctors, whose value would plummet. Granted, doctors in the United States are probably way overcompensated as a result of the regulations in place. In Great Britain, being a physician isn't nearly as lucrative (though it's also less time consuming/expensive to become one).

> Also, for regular drugs and prescriptions, why are doctors involved at all and why does the FDA regulate access to them, creating time and cost barriers?

Probably to prevent public health crises like the opium epidemic, though, you'll notice, this happened despite the best efforts of the government to prevent it. Gating access to drugs is largely to prevent abuse, though maybe there should be reform with regards to how we control access to these. Should I need to go to a doctor or could I just get a recommendation from a Pharmacist? Maybe we could designate a class of drugs acceptable for Nurse practitioners to prescribe. Maybe most drugs should just be available over the counter? The way we categorize drugs is probably too restrictive, though it isn't the primary reason drug prices are driven up.

> I feel like much of the time, my physician or a physician’s assistant aren’t providing any useful diagnosis or guidance toward a prescription that I couldn’t have figured out myself. The gatekeeping almost always is frustrating because I get no value out of them.

Any time a doctor comes to a different conclusion from me, despite me knowing my own body better than she does and doing plenty of my own research, obviously I'm going to be frustrated. I might even be right. But that doesn't mean that I'm generally going to be right more often than they are. I think you're probably overestimating your own abilities while discrediting the capabilities of your doctors here because doctors don't always do what you want.

In the US they're implemented in a ham-fisted way just to get federal ISTEA money for minimal effort. 90% of the lanes around me added in the last 10 years are unusable because they are broken by dangerous safety compromises.
Also, if everyone on the plane leans back, as most do, it's all the same amount of space, just at a 45° angle. So the airline is just selling a space with the ability to realign itself as needed.
The problem isn't money in politics. It's politicians with absolutely no knowledge about economics. Healthcare system became an entangled mess of the private and public sector in the first place because the government tried to implement a price floor on salaries, no lobbying required.

Even the most unscrupulous of politicians should recognize that a few thousand dollars in campaign contributions and front row tickets to a college football game isn't a fair trade for handing pharmaceutical companies a blank check from an account with effectively infinite money. What happens is that the lobbyist butters the politician up and sounds smart, so the politician just listens to whatever the lobbyist is saying.
I worked for a French founder for a few years and was quite involved with a lot of French people and companies (Thales, Veolia, Engie... to name a few) in tech.

I'll reserve my comments about my own personal experience but I think the characterization of poor execution is a bit sweeping.

Where I think the French and American start up communities differ is that failure is not generally accepted in France, whereas in the US it's acknowledged and somewhat accepted to have a few "duds" on the resume.
I'm actually not as mad about them blaming medicare, as much as I'am mad about them blaming something that isn't the cause of the problem (UK, Canada, Australia, hello?) this is to distract people from the real cause (deregulation), so that the problem stays.
The statistics do not show that we improve outcomes even though we spend more.

Almost every metric for the quality of healthcare outcomes in the US is worse than most european countries. For example, if you sort the under 5 mortality rate [0], you'll see that the United States comes in 47th, after Cuba, Russia, Qatar, and basically all of western europe.

If you check life expectancy, you'll find similar subpar numbers. Ditto for infant mortality.

You can easily argue that life expectancy is partly lifestyle based (the fast food industry killing us rather than healthcare), but for infant mortality and under-5 mortality, those numbers should track quite well with the quality of our medical system I think. And those numbers, well, our medical system is obviously doing quite poorly compared to other countries that spend far less.

This appears to assume that the only way to get the carbonic acid out of the oceans is to wait for it to diffuse out to a CO2-depleted atmosphere. But that's nonsense.

Powdering olivine and broadcasting that to the oceans would work overwhelmingly faster, and end up pulling CO2 out of the atmosphere, too. Powdering iron and broadcasting that in the deep ocean would put microbes to work doing the same thing. There is no reason not to do both, not necessarily in the same places. There are certainly other clever avenues I don't know about yet.

Just putting iron compounds at micromolar concentration in jet fuel used on trans-oceanic flights, so the exhaust dust settles to the ocean, would automate a huge iron distribution network at practically no cost. Similarly, for bunker fuel burned in ships.

Probably this or that idea would turn out not to work as well as hoped. You just try something else, then. Wringing your hands and doing nothing is the worst of all alternatives. We already tried that, it already failed.
I mean, you could give lectures and try to convince the CEOs to give up free money, or you could set up a system of rules that actually incentivizes reasonable drug prices. I can tell you which is going to work better.

I agree with you that 1/6 would be unacceptable, if that's what the post you replied to intended.

On the other hand, 1/600 means between 16 and 17 dead for every 10000 people infected.

Of those 16 to 17 people, the vast majority have one or more comorbidities, mostly caused by lifestyle choices, and probably have little time left anyway.

The model you describe does exist, pharmacies with an onduty pharmacist are allowed to prescribe a wide and large range of prescription-only drugs in Thailand, cost is competitive - if you take the generics the brief consultation and antibiotic's can be as little as $1 total. This includes large chain pharmacies like Boots and Watsons, waiting for the onduty pharmacist at smaller independent might not be so strict/official and better for certain hmm..

I wonder about Reddit's redesign.

The problem is the real goals are not revealed to the public, so all the wishywashy stuff about unclear goals is just to fool onlookers while the real goals were accomplished. Anybody who bought into the whole "no such thing as the deep state" in the anti-Trump furor of the moment is foolishly naive in contrast with the reality behind both Afghaniatan but also Iraq and the GWOT generally.

In a land were so many self-appointed technocrats clamor for censorship, soon discussion of the real hefty topics at play will become badspeak and premptively banned, removed, silenced.

For example,have fun trying to say one thing about how Israel and Suadi Arabia both had more involvement in 9/11 than Afghanistan did without immediatedly being attacked.

Its easier to talk about 3-letter motivations like continued drug, gun money going into black book coffers so they dont have to account to congress only because its something more in the mainstream mind.

Another topic thats generally forbidden? Analysis of the media machine that pushed us into war(s) in the first place.

I could go on. The point is the real goals are not the presented goals. If you understand that you have a much better chance at real insight.
This allows you to do it from one .gitconfig so that it automagically changes when you're in a work repo as opposed to a personal one.

As an American it's a bit surprising to me that Sweden actually follows the quaint notion of justice and rule of law. Sounds like they even require property taken to be specifically listed and related to a crime as proven in a court of law. In the US authorities would've likely been able to keep all the BTC, and also could've seized the drug dealers home and car if they had any.

In Florida (and many other states) it was/is common practice that any excuse police made could be used to seize almost any of a person's property, essentially on the spot. Generally without even needing to arrest the person or charge them with a crime or get a warrant. Just based on "suspicion" on the cops behalf.

> That drug doesn't cost $50K+ anywhere else in the world

The rest of your point notwithstanding, this is a statement whose explanation could almost be its own converse -- companies can afford to profitably sell a drug for less than $50k elsewhere in the world because they're allowed to milk the USA money cow (i.e., marginal costs are low, fixed costs are high, and there exists a guaranteed market to cover the fixed costs). Without further evidence that the fixed costs could be covered as well it's entirely plausible that the proposed alternative (that the drug company would exist, make the drug, and sell it for a reasonable price worldwide without further subsidies/intervention) would never come to be.

Such evidence probably exists, but an argument whose truth depends wholly on orthogonal statements isn't worth repeating.
Quite interesting reading this! I am also an introvert, and I most of time get to know people by observing first.
From the Wikipedia article on the Seljuks:

"Alp Arslan authorized his Turkmen generals to carve their own principalities out of formerly Byzantine Anatolia, as atabegs loyal to him. Within two years the Turkmens had established control as far as the Aegean Sea under numerous beghliks (modern Turkish beyliks): the Saltukids in Northeastern Anatolia, the Shah-Armens and the Mengujekids in Eastern Anatolia, Artuqids in Southeastern Anatolia, Danishmendis in Central Anatolia, Rum Seljuks (Beghlik of Suleyman, which later moved to Central Anatolia) in Western Anatolia, and the Beylik of Tzachas of Smyrna in İzmir (Smyrna)."

I'm def not an expert, but this seems to match my understanding that at least in the recently lost Byzantine lands in Anatolia and northern Syria, it was more of a warlord situation than conquering through a centralized state. To be fair, this is pretty similar to pre-Manzikert Byzantine Anatolia or the Western Europe the crusaders hailed from. My point is that as the Crusaders conquered their way through the Near East, they weren't facing a single Islamic empire, but different local rulers, who weren't always coordinating.
