> The kinds of easy issues you're talking about don't need to happen in a hospital. You can already go to an outpatient imaging clinic for an x-ray, a dermatologist's office to have a mole removed, or an urgent care to suture a laceration.

Even better: clearly the market has proven that it's possible to offer these services with transparent pricing. Why can't hospitals keep pace?

This also raises the question why preventative care often falls into the same category. Lawyers have a predictable billable rate, personal physicians and doctors often don't. Most scheduled hospital procedures require multiple consultations and planning before the procedures take place. Most of that stuff is not transparently priced.

There's no reason why a hospital shouldn't be able to figure out the cost of minor anesthesia before a scheduled minor surgery. That's not a surprising part of the procedure, that should be something that's fully negotiated with insurance and disclosed to the patient beforehand so they can decide.

> Has the demonstrated value been worth the cost?

Yes, absolutely, you can find tons of stories online about people negotiating smaller bills because itemized bills turn out to include services that they never requested (and in some cases services that were never even actually performed). If you talk to experts about managing personal health costs, pretty much all of them will tell you to always request an itemized bill after you visit a hospital or doctors office.

It's also absolutely worthwhile because you're seeing creative line items like $500 for aspirin that prove that the costs of the services aren't being based on market rates. That's really important information because it opens the door to other questions like "why are these prices what they are", and "can you tell me in advance before you give me a $500 aspirin?"

I mean... you're saying this is the norm in complex industries, it absolutely is not. Complex industries are complex because they don't know up front what they'll be billing you for. That's not even remotely the same thing as "we think your stay should cost $5000 for reasons we can't disclose, so I guess we'll jack up the aspirin cost after the fact to try and prevent anyone from questioning us."

It is extremely worthwhile to put hospitals in a position where they have to answer consumers why an in-patient aspirin is priced so much higher than the market rate for the drug. I don't know if this is your intention, but what you're implying when you say that the itemized bills aren't accurate is that hospital pricing isn't based on any kind of competitive or visible market rate, or even anything objective at all. Which is a pretty bold claim.

Other industries with high-variability pricing exist, but they're not just making up numbers completely out of thin air after the fact and then lying about line items to try and justify that cost. Hopefully hospitals aren't doing that either. But if they're not, if they are actually basing their prices off of the combined prices of the services they provided... then we gotta ask about that $500 aspirin, because that's a weird price.

There's a difference between the natural progression of technology, manufacturing capability, and economic and efficiency improvements brought about by large scale manufacturing. The path to cheap solar panels was relatively straightforward 10 years ago. The argument this paper makes (convincingly IMO) that the path to these efficiency improvements for cultured meat are still TBD.

My solution for this is a headless Linux box under my desk and remote vscode and ssh from my MacBook. Best of both worlds so far for me.

I did try and use Linux full time but the UI drove me up the wall so I’m back comfortable in macOS but my dev work flies on that Linux box.

"File not found

I believe it 100%, due to proliferation of iphone, flat file system people don't know there are actual file directories where files are stored and can be touched, or that even a shell or an interpreter exists.

It's ironic, and truly laughable but I've been hearing it over and over again from education sysadmins and even have run into this issue myself sometimes while explaining things to people under 20.
One piece of advice that I've run into is to turn off the monitor while writing. The argument was that anything can serve as a distraction while writing, even the writing process. Editing served as an example. It is best done after the writing is done since some writers are hindered by perfectionism while most writers would benefit from having a concrete version of their work before fine tuning it.

In other words, the screen is not very important while writing the initial draft. (Granted, a screen is useful to ensure that the words are being recorded as intended.)

Imagine how painful HN would be if you upvoted someone and didn’t see the arrow vanish till the server responded. Instead of knowing instantly whether you missed the button, you’d end up habitually tapping it twice. (Better to do that than to wait and go “hmm, did I hit the button? Oh wait, my train is going through a tunnel…)

Imagine how painful typing would be if you had to wait after each keypress till the server acknowledged it. Everyone’s had the experience of being SSH’ed into a mostly-frozen server; good luck typing on a phone keyboard instead of a real keyboard without typo’ing your buffered keys.

The point is, there are many application-specific areas that client side prediction is necessary. Taking a hardline stance of “just deploy closer servers” will only handicap elixir in the long run.

Why not tackle the problem head-on? Unreal Engine might be worth studying here: https://docs.unrealengine.com/udk/Three/NetworkingOverview.h...

One could imagine a “client eval” code block in elixir which only executes on the client, and which contains all the prediction logic.
> Penalisation under a "KYC" law would have to be extreme.

Yep. It would have to be enacted in the kind of furvor like existed around 9/11. But, the PATRIOT act had been floating around DC for years before 9/11 too.

In the US, it really isn't. It's a patchwork of state and local laws that could absolutely be invalidated by the feds in the case of a global communications medium like the phone network, since that implies interstate commerce.
Most of the world doesn't have "republicans", we just don't want to pay an ever increasing amount of taxes on everything that will be wasted by corrupt politicians. The government can absorb any amount of taxes and very little of it is spent in a way that I approve of. We already have to give over 65% of what we make to the government, I want nothing more than to be left alone.
I like to joke sometimes that we already have a technology to transform indigestible biomass into meat: livestock.

> A significant proportion of the Earth's land surface is currently dedicated to either growing animals or growing animal feed.

Almost the entire land surface of the earth, as well as almost all of the water, ultimately provides nutrients to carnivores. Sometimes the carnivores are fish, dolphins, tigers, or bears. Sometimes we are the carnivores.

You could argue that agriculture and livestock domestication are a huge difference, but that only becomes a concern at a certain scale and a certain level of industrialization. Well into the 19th century, large parts of North America were primarily populated by nomadic hunter-gatherers who mostly subsisted off of wild bison.

There is a part of me that finds the notion of lab-grown meat somewhat revolting in this context. Not only did the white man massacre the bison and transform their habitat into cattle ranches, but now even the cattle ranch is not industrial enough for him.

Thanks for the pointers and insights. I’ve been reading up on this tonight (local time), and this whole issue seems to be mostly a misconception.

Between things like phx-disable-with and phx-*-loading, and the ability to add any client-side logic using JS, there doesn’t really seem to be any limitations compared to a more traditional SPA using (for example) React and a JSON API.

I hope I haven’t added to the confusion about this by bringing it up, I was just very curious to hear your thoughts on it.
Whether it's a good idea or not really depends on your app, what you're trying to do, and who your users are.

Now if you want to avoid round trips to the server for interactions such as opening a modal, you can!

There are at least two ways to handle this - Javascript hooks that let you attach JS to your DOM, or the light AlpineJS framework. The latter is a perfect fit for Liveview and it's part of the unofficial go-to stack name PETAL - Phoenix Elixir Tailwind AlpineJS Liveview.
I went vegan decades ago and these sorts of discussions always crack me up. I understand that for a lot of people (myself included at one time) giving up meat sounds absolutely impossible to imagine. But in reality, it is very simple. These days there are so many readily available plant-based products. There isn't really a NEED for lab-grown meat except in the sense that people think they need to eat meat. It might be a better plan to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on advertising to deprogram people from that way of thinking.

Wait, so you mean if you take linear projections of today's outputs and costs and extrapolate into the future it seems impossible? No shit. This is basically the case with every interesting technology project. There will no doubt have to be innovations in the approach, the equipment, etc. But in reality all we are talking about is mixing fluids and maintaining some temperatures. All of which is done at massive scale for chemicals, oil and gas, etc. I don't have strong claims to make regarding cultivated meat, but the kind of thinking behind this article is rampant. If the money is there, then this can no doubt be scaled up for far, far cheaper than the author envisions.

Right, and vat-grown meat will require even more resources, as per OP, if it were even possible.

If people were or could become happy with beans or even ground insects, there would be no purpose to it at all. But when we have plant-baset meat simulation already, there already is no purpose to it.
Is there anyone here that would assemble something like this for cheaper? I don't have a reflow station but am making something similar and would pay someone to do a prototype (hopefully less than $2400). Based in Los Angeles.

But lets not get to far into reality, it'll hurt the sheeps brains. It's good the actual article acknowledged it further down, I assume because it's not a conventional media site.

It's a good initiative. Contrary to Goodhart’s Law, the pop Internets deadhead goto, quantifiable data is what we need more of.

Parallel to Goodhart the attempts at cleverness to find fault currently are also lame. Bugs will be fixed, obscuration's will be removed and hopefully hospitals being forced to improve internal processes current CEO's just don't care about.
Thank you for the recommendation, I’ll look into it.
If not used by cattle ranching it would be used as a natural preserve - there are huge chunks of the country that aren't fit even for ranching and in those chunks of the country you'll see... nothing. Except a biome that's doing its thing without human intervention. If this land is good for nothing but cattle rearing and we stop cattle rearing then we can return big chunks of it to nature.

That's syncretism - what happened almost every time Christianity began to take over a pagan culture. The former gods/spirits, etc. become recast as demonic or malevolent, and of course any "occult" practices (which were, formerly, simply religious practices) are viewed as Satanic practice and witchcraft. This is partly due to attempts by Christian authorities to de-legitimize the former religion, but also attempts to preserve the former culture and its religious practices in a new context.

Norse mythology is a particularly interesting example, because all we have of it is post-Christian retellings, and many parts of it (like Baldr's death and resurrection) seem an awful lot like Christianity with the serial numbers filed off.

Don't care for drugs or sex work, for all I care they should be legal. What is horrifying to me is the amount of violence / abuse amounting not only to slavery and trafficking but also the murders of the innocent these people commit.

I respect this but the X1 Carbon's keyboard is bad, and so is its trackpad. Until something like this[0] project takes off, this is just a non-starter for me. Windows at least has OK trackpad support, and now with WSL and whatnot, the surface pro laptops are maybe a feasible option, but Windows ironically has the absolute worst window management of the 3.

Does other side delete it too? Otherwise if you delete you create a bigger liability in case the other side start claiming things that have not happened. For that reason it's vital to keep an audit trail and of course you need to have good op sec with that.
Not at all. The state of the market does not affect this in any way whatsoever. The only thing that changes when the price changes is who wins and who loses. But on average, you always lose, this is an inescapable fact.
Meat is more nutritious and more tasty, and it's great to eat either seasoned and not. What is definitely not beneficial for health is a heavily processed and salted mush of plant based meat facsimile, or whatever frankenmeat they're trying to conjure in those labs. It's also another step towards you being more heavily dependent on enormous multinational industries.
A lot of the land used in the US for raising cattle was previously the habitat of wild bison, who were themselves the primary food source of the indigenous people who lived on that land. Cattle ranching in the American Great Plains is just a domesticated and industrialized version of what the Great Plains have been doing all along.

That’s why making your business completely dependent on AWS or GCP is absolutely insane.
The nature of the problem (a big monopolist behemoth of a corporation is too big and powerful and lacks incentives to change) and the solution (only state action, regulation, mandates, i.e. something more powerful than Google must enforce Google to act) is by definition a political problem.
