Did you have to get major surgery under general anaesthetic?

This was after I had referrals from my dentist and a second opinion.

I do have some complications with a major nerve running about 1mm from one of the largest tooth's roots and I was told when there's some risk of damage to facial nerves you should make sure you get a good surgeon.

The media has, for almost a decade, tried to play George Bush and his cabinet out to be "principled, simple conservatives", and it seems to be working. I can't believe that some of the people most critical of Bush, Cheney and the wars they profited from, were swayed by him painting dogs of all things.

Green Fast Keto

Green Fast Diet Keto is accepted to have the incredible mix of spices and clinically endorsed substances. The essential fixing list isn't unveiled by the producer of the weight reduction recipe. Notwithstanding, it is said that the recipe is supported by the incredible ketone called BHB Ketone, which is painstakingly chosen and included following quite a while of exploration.

USA #1! Freedom!
> Ownership only ever matters when there's a dispute.

Right.

And a blockchain only solves a tiny percentage of ownership issues. It solves those issues with powerful mathematical certainty, and if you could live inside a blockchain your problems would be solved*, but don't confuse that sliver with the full set of real-world ownership issues that exist with or without a blockchain being involved.

* if there are no bugs or hacks
The plastic surgery and vision correction industries work pretty well in the US. You see price competition and patients have the ability to shop around and make choices that are important to them (references from other patients, doctor personality, etc).

Now contrast that with going to a hospital for a procedure where you have time to shop around. Can you get a price? No. Can you easily get appointments with doctors to get their opinions on your case? Maybe. Can you get other patient references? Unlikely (but maybe).

What’s the difference? One insurance covers (thus the patients is cut out of price conversations) and one insurance doesn’t cover (this patient is the end payer). The big problem is more and more costs are being shifted to patients as deductibles and co-insurance, but hospitals treat it like it was 1990 and the patient pays some token amount so “who cares”?

And sure, an emergency doesn’t leave you much time to shop around, but something like 80% of healthcare procedures aren’t emergent.

How can you enforce copyright law when I right click an NFT piece of art, then print it and hang it in my home?

You can't.

Besides, NFT enthusiasts have the illusion that the graphic art market is big. It's not.

Just think about how many people you know that have a painting in their home. And no, the IKEA type paintings do not count. I mean a genuine painting.
In 2019 when I was 63 I did a 500 snippet of the Pacific Crest Trail. Because of needing to resupply, my long hike was really a series of 9 trips, each individual trip lasting about 5 days, more or less, like a work week. I started to think of a day hiking as "a day at the office". Already on "Monday", my first day back on trail I would be thinking about "Friday", the day I could get to town and eat restaurant food instead of the food in my pack that I was tired of.

I don't know how these guys and other long distance hikers maintain their motivation, or rather, I don't know how they continue to find enough reward in the activity to make up for the deprivation, repetition.

At risk of what exactly? The unvaccinated don't automatically have covid. The vaccinated can catch, and spread covid. If you are vaccinated, why are you afraid of unvaccinated people being around you, if it is only them that will be worse off?

Regardless of the ideology of the protest, you are demanding authoritarian response because you disagree. Could you see how this could have a very bad outcome down the line?
Weaponizing AI on the face of it seems completely insane. The problem is that if we don’t, then we would presumably be at a tremendous strategic disadvantage to an adversary which did (more or less the logic that led to the development and proliferation of nuclear weapons).

I can’t see how militarized forms of AI don’t emerge as a consequence of significant progress in non-military AI, so perhaps all roads do eventually lead to SkyNet.

Who are these people? Where are they? Not really convinced they exist.
Of course, but it's not, so it's cool that this project exists and probably relevant to people's interests here, which is why I shared it.
There is a bit more nuance here though. There may be users who trust their old systems but no longer trust the current state of its manufacturer or their binary only updates. Proprietary blobs go against the core freedom as defined by FSF so I can understand why they block by default but IMO they should allow informed users to override. Simply censoring without allowing a user to bypass is not user (or freedom) respecting. The power to choose should be with the user, whom the FSF claims to represent.
What are you talking about? As long as you are not private insured - which is not difficult to do usally - if you have a job you are insured (a percentage of your pay is used for insurance, if you study you are insured (90 eur) or you can join on your own for 200eur/month depending on your income if you are working on your own.

You pay nothing for ER, 10eur/day for the hospital and a few eur for medication - but nothing even in the range for 50% or 80%

dental is also covered to a large degree but if you want state of the art you have to pay the difference yourself - but you can also add a private insureance for that for 100 to 300eur/year to have everything covered.

you can still fall through if you can't pay the monthly fee - but emergencies are also free even if you don't pay.

private insurance can be expensive but should usally cover also everything.
I find it hard to believe the small non-paying contingent is unique to the US or even a significant % of daily patients, plenty of other countries have homeless who end up in ED's.

America somehow spends far more than any other country on healthcare and yet patients still have some of the highest out of pocket costs even when they have expensive private insurance schemes, something is clearly broken to anyone looking and it's not the homeless causing it.
Building bacteria to keep us well
Correct.

I'm not in a position to judge the actual security of PaleMoon and for what I know it might be more secure for the reasons you point out.

As for why I won't use it without precautions I really do not want anyone to be able to use "this happened because skinkestek used an old browser, maintained by two persons in their spare time" if something goes south at some point.

That said, I have tested it and for me it wasn't just rose tinted memories, I prefer the UX of PaleMoon far to modern Firefox which I still prefer to Chrome (for both UX and personal reasons.)
Because the nft can be used in any game at any point in the future. It's not just one game with one database. It can be multiple independent games all using the same resources that can be transferred from one game to another.
On the "fundamental" link, see this reply that appeared after you commented:

"The reason that Ethereum’s consensus can run in n time rather than n^2 is BLS signature aggregation. The attacks in the paper however aren’t attacks on signature aggregation. So I don’t think your argument is valid."
Well UCSF charged my brother in law $20,000 for an MRI a private standalone MRI clinic charges $3,000 for.

Insurance paid UCSF $16,000 after discount.

So I’d say the hospitals definitely are a part of the problem.

You can imagine what he did with a fund raising letter he got from UCSF asking for a donation so they could continue to help the community…

> How can you enforce copyright law when I right click an NFT piece of art, then print it and hang it in my home?

Yep, same as any other licensed thing. Because copyright law is still just copyright law. NFTs don't magically add universal enforcement, and aren't supposed to.

> NFT enthusiasts have the illusion that the graphic art market is big. It's not.

Yes, there is a lot of crazy hype and over-expectations around, and sadly getting most of the attention.
I seldom play video games, but I would definitely hate to have an advantage in one game, just because I had won the same or a similar advantage in some other game. Sharing stuff across different games seems a really stupid idea to me.
Probably a lot of actors. You know that the hospitals who claimed that their prices were trade secrets when being forced to reveal them were telling porkies.
How Much Is Bill Cosby Worth After the Completion of His Jail Time?
Why is the discussion in America always private VS nationalised healthcare instead of just making private healthcare value for money / less insane.

Here in the UK we have the NHS which is great. But we ALSO have private insurance / hospitals / healthcare that is reasonably priced.
None of the other countries being discussed have any of that, and yet their systems work fine. So I don’t think the solution is there
Only this time, the database is global and multiple independent games can all be using a common set of NFT resources that can be unique and transferred from one game to another. COD could release some NFT for a uniform or a gun or something, and an indie developer could incorporate that nft into their game if they wanted.

You have suggested a divide: THEY are not unlike US in that THEY cannot regulate their emotions like US.

Once you have established a higher moral ground, you have proposed to ostracize THEM from public life, until they become US.

The problem is that they say we are discriminating against them, which we objectively are.

Please refrain from furthering the divide and concentrate on productive strategies to mitigate the situation. Especially if you truly believe that its an issue with emotional regulation, because these usually cannot be handled safely by piling on more pressure.
Social media hasn't been a part of my life for years now. It feels great, I wish I could get back the hours I've spent on social media. I see why people like it and how it can be useful, but if I would want to kickstart another depression I'd install the Facebook/Instagram apps again.

My social life has improved massively since I've quit.

Most hospitals in the US are non-profit entities.
no they cant.
Yeah, nobody wants that. I think they shoehorn this idea in every NFT discussion, even though they know it's not a very good idea, because so far it's the only use-case they have been able to come up with.
It's not all roses and butterflies down under.

My missus needed highly specialised but relatively quick and low-risk surgery. Maybe 3 surgeons in the whole country do this particular procedure. Think 30 minutes in the OR, a couple of hours to wake up from the anaesthesia, and then you go home.

$4,000.

And then the anaesthetist sent a separate bill.

What does Medicare + Private Hospital cover out of this? A grand total of $130.

It turns out that this particular procedure has no specific "code", so it's lumped in with a routine day surgery billing code. Which is something like $270, with $130 covered by Medicare.

Now, if you ask me, $270 is too low, $4K is a tad high, and 100% of both should be covered by Medicare.

I looked into it, and it turned out that the Medicare refunds are based on "fixed prices" determined by the government decades ago, and haven't changed since then. Private insurance "goes by the government pricing" because it lets them get away with paying you pennies on the dollar.

Realistically, you're not getting any kind of surgery with general anaesthesia for under $1K. Don't worry though, the government and your insurance company will give you maybe a bit over 10% of that back! They have you "covered".
The shape of a potential US-China deal
Yes, it’s a shame “serverless” became synonymous with FaaS, but understandable given that Lambda was the first to use the term.

I was pretty excited by Lambda initially, but I gave up on it for some of the reasons the author talks about. Google Cloud Run actually achieves what I want from serverless: I never have to think about the number of servers and can pay for less than one instance during low-traffic periods, but I could migrate my app elsewhere easily if I wanted.
Fair points. For 1, I’d think this would be for use with one person so it would always be “with” them on the floor where they are. But It would be interesting to know if it would disengage to go down or up if needed (though you’d likely need help).

I know the video said she could go up but down down steps, but I’d think she’d need to go up and down on the device.

Fun side story - I once rode a stair chair in my sisters house half way, got bored, got off and walked the rest of the way up the steps to her basement. The stair chair only charged when at either end station (the designers hadn’t planned for it to stop in the middle I guess), so the battery died. It was hundreds of dollars to fix (either new battery or repair tech) and didn’t have a neutral, so it stayed half way up the steps until they got around to taking it out.
Another big inefficiency is the margin of error allowed due to malpractice lawsuits. If a patient is at a 1 in a 10,000 risk for a problem, the Doctor will order a test to rule that problem out. Because if the Doctor doesn't order the test and the person ends up having the problem, the Doctor could be sued for malpractice. In other countries the Doctor would say this is very unlikely so I'm not going to run the test.
Yes, and I have been using it since then, this is quite something else tho.

Does EU resolution 2361 run counter to mandatory vaccination?
You are correct, I must say I didn't expect this to be the case
(ofcourse I also read the footnote, but still)
Yeah. That’s superior to our protections.

Generally, in the US, its 60-90 days (the fact that it’s variable is obviously not ideal) and $500 loss limit.
Depends on what you think success is. Higher hospitalisation and case rates across the board with countries reintroducing restrictions doesn't sound like a success to me. And no, you can't just blame the unvaccinated when transmission is occuring readily through the vaccinated and hitting the hospitals, even if the individual outcomes are less severe.
The United States leads the way in treatments and medical tech, but this gives me the impression that the US society is not benefiting as it could from that.
There's three areas that I'm aware of. Certificates of Need, which some states require before you can offer certain services (like MRI/CT scanning). Supply contracts, where a hospital has a pre-set price for consumables like IV solutions, scalpels, and bandages with a supplier. And advertising.

The Certificate reduces competition because they impose geographical exclusivity. If you want to buy a MRI machine for your clinic, you cannot if the state determines if your area already has enough of them. And if you file a Certificate with the state intending to buy one, your nearby competitors are likely to place objections to your purchase. This is because the machines are expensive and the other clinics want to ensure their investment gets paid for. But this process also ensures they're expensive because the machines aren't able to be built in volumes large enough to result in a cost reduction.

The supply contracts make things easier for the hospital, as they only have to deal with one supplier for an item or class of item. The price is known up front for the duration of the contract. But this also means that the hospital cannot change suppliers if another one has a lower price for the same item midway through the contract period, reducing competition. They also restrict choice by the doctors at the hospital - doctors have strong preferences for items like gloves because of sizing & fit, and the way they transmit feeling through them (thinness, texture, etc). If a hospital changes suppliers to one that doesn't carry their favorite glove, they aren't able to perform as well. And they can't bring their own into the operating room because of liability.

I don't know how many advertisements you see in Chile for medicine, but here in the US I would guess that a quarter of advertisements on TV are for them. All those ads cost a lot of money, and they're not being targeted at doctors, but patients: "Ask your doctor if {brand} is right for you"
Not really, if anything we have more art (since each piece of art is infinitely replicable). What could conceivably happen is a decrease in the production of new art, but I don't see evidence of that either.

>How are stories ranked?

>The basic algorithm divides points by a power of the time since a story was submitted. Comments in threads are ranked the same way.

I think this criteria was satisfied. When I posted the comment, the story had been up for only 4 hours (I had taken a screenshot at the time: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16yyiJH06WQ2GbGKVgLz03473veW...).

>Other factors affecting rank include user flags, anti-abuse software, software which demotes overheated discussions, account or site weighting, and moderator action.

So it was likely one of these 5 criteria.
No. Chocolate is also very much about the beans and finding the roast that best brings out the flavors in them, then figuring out what the best use for them is; a blend, a single origin bar, milk chocolate, chocolate with something else or a flavor added?

Like coffee, the best chocolate does not need flavors added to it, although that can certainly be fun.

source - I was a chocolate maker for a small, high quality chocolate company in the US.
I am afraid my sources are Czech, for example, Konstruktéři raketového věku by Karel Pacner and a lot of articles by the same author. Pacner was our top rocket journalist, he had a lot of sources in Russia. Unfortunately he died this February.

Quality was a recurring problem in industrial production east of the Iron Curtain. I was born in an industrial city as well (Ostrava) and it was well known which section of which factory is "good" and which is "bad". People could not be fired for mere incompetence or laziness (as long as they were physically present), because jobs, especially in primary production, were seen as a right. Therefore, getting a good and reliable team together and getting rid of the misfits was a real challenge.

In production, quantity was rewarded. Quality did not matter as much. As a result, you had leaking faucets, uneven sheets of metal, crooked nails, weak glue, brittle bricks, shoddy workmanship ... and finding high quality stuff was a problem even for important industries.
The EU also have non paying non insured ER patients, it still isn't that expensive. So this seems strange.

Except if the US is literally falling apart and had ab endless amount of non paying people?
