An oncology department I'm familiar with has an entire "nurse navigator" whose whole job is to submit "prior approval" requests to "insurance" companies justifying why patients need a specific treatment, plus the nurses employed by the "insurance" companies reading those requests. I believe it's similar for any moderately expensive specialty. A common career path is care nurse -> burnout -> administration. Most of the administration is made up of people who could be providing healthcare.

And no, hospitals' most valuable resource are their billing computers. I think when it comes to providing actual healthcare hospitals are very stupid. You cannot partition any knowledge worker's attention into 10 minute blocks and expect them to achieve anything useful, yet that is what their entire system is designed around. The hospital doesn't have unilateral say of course (an "insurance" company won't pay one doctor the "price" of two if they spend twice as long with a patient), but they're still content optimizing within that status quo outcome - completely scatterbrained care.

And it's not like individual doctors are well rested or happy when you talk to them. The system clearly takes their toll on them (eg disappearing for 5 minutes to go retrieve test results that didn't show up before your appointment). In fact I'd say the vast majority of human talent in the medical system ends up completely wasted.
I don't think Microsoft realizes that if they re-introduced a lightweight Win2k style OS for professionals they could charge any price they wanted for it.
Leading American naturalist EO Wilson, dubbed 'Darwin's heir', dies at 92
Question for music folks (I've played with modular synths but only in a superficial, toying-around way): is this skeuomorphic paradigm really the best way to do this? With a physical system, running wires everywhere might be the only way to do it, but it seems like in software you have more options on how you manage to connect all your components together, and how those components are laid out on the screen. But since this tangle-of-wires design is popular, perhaps it really is the way to go?
Social constructs are real things.
I am fully aware of it, it clearly specifies that it is implementation specific.

100% atheism. Was raised some kind of protestant I forget which one, and derived tremendous spiritual and psychological relief when I realized all of that was absolute nonsense at the age of 9. I knew I was gay at the time and wouldn't come out until I was 18 or so, but my life just got a lot easier when I removed religion completely. I also recall discovering increased moral agency -- as a Christian I had been taught I could simply confess whatever and it would be forgiven (an idea I found laughable), and that the objective basis for making moral judgements comes directly from god (another idea I found laughable). As an atheist I was suddenly responsible for making my own moral judgements and conclusions (I had to decide upon my own objective basis for making moral judgements), and forgiveness was something I had to work towards myself (as in I had to forgive myself for things, which is not easy, but is incredibly rewarding) versus simply getting it for free from some nonexistent deity. All in all, was an incredibly positive change in my life, and I do believe there can be a weird sort of spirituality to 100% atheism that people don't really acknowledge.
> This happens today because shoes and bags aren’t part of the uniform

I see that too here in Ireland. Uniforms (and meals) should be included with education. Everyone should have at least all the materials they need.

This was one of the ideas behind the OLPC laptop - it was supposed to be a standard tool and end up cheaper than printing and shipping physical books. Didn’t work out, but beget netbooks, chromebooks and other low end laptops, which are kind of great for kids.
Do you really think MS would allow that to exist unhindered? Look at what they did recently when people started combating the forced Edge launches.
Some people struggle with meditation. I did too, especially connecting to my bodily sensations without getting caught up in thoughts.
I found that slow movements like Qi Gong can help you with calming down and connecting to your body. When Covid began, I replaced my commute with a daily Qi Gong session in the morning sun. After that I find it much easier to watch my breath, also in sitting meditation.
The problem raised in the video was that high take-off power draw would age the batteries quickly, not that it was impossible. I haven't run the numbers to see if they were right.

I'm fairly certain that any accurate chemical test would destroy the cells, at least with our current level of technology.

As such, its not a question of "good enough". Its simply a question of "what is possible". Since nothing better is possible yet, Coulomb Counting is our best methodology.
You might like this poem (from what I can find it is attributed to Bill Britton):

When you are forgotten, or neglected, or purposely set at naught, and you don’t sting and hurt with the insult or the oversight, but your heart is happy, being counted worthy to suffer for Christ.
THAT IS DYING TO SELF

When your good is evil spoken of, when your wishes are crossed, your advice disregarded, your opinions ridiculed, and you refuse to let anger rise in your heart, or even defend yourself, but take it all in patient, loving silence.
THAT IS DYING TO SELF

When you lovingly and patiently bear any disorder, any irregularity, any impunctuality, or any annoyance; when you stand face-to- face with waste, folly, extravagance, spiritual insensibility and endure it as Jesus endured.
THAT IS DYING TO SELF

When you are content with any food, any offering, any climate, any society, any raiment, any interruption by the will of God.
THAT IS DYING TO SELF

When you never care to refer to yourself in conversation, or to record your own good works, or itch after commendations, when you can truly love to be unknown.
THAT IS DYING TO SELF

When you can see your brother prosper and have his needs met and can honestly rejoice with him in spirit and feel no envy, nor question God, while your own needs are far greater and in desperate circumstances.
THAT IS DYING TO SELF

When you can receive correction and reproof from one of less stature than yourself and can humbly submit inwardly as well as outwardly, finding no rebellion or resentment rising up within your heart.
THAT IS DYING TO SELF

Are you dead yet? In these last days, the Spirit would bring us to the cross.

“That I may know Him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death.” Philippians 3:10

EDIT: I like to keep this poem around as a reminder on how I should act. I find that self is a hard beast to conquer.
I'm atheist, but grew up in and around a few religions and new-age spirituality. In my teenage years, I believed in the spiritual existence as fully as I can imagine anyone believing in anything.

As I reached my 20s I realized these were all dead-ends, but never lost the good feelings I associated with the practice.

For a few years, I tried to pin down what it means to be atheist while still embodying the spiritual experience. One morning I was driving to work when my boss called to say the office would be closed and I could take the day off. Suddenly, it was like all the neurons in my brain lit up at once. The sky looked brighter, the air smelled sweeter, and I felt a wave of energy flood my body.

I loved my job, this wasn't a feeling of relief of escaping something I dreaded. Rather, it was just the sudden openness of my day, and a feeling of unbounded possibilities. I realized in that moment that that is what it feels like to be both atheist and "spiritual".

So, my spiritual practice is two things: first, to make those moments happen. Second, to collect the various ideas, mental models, and frameworks that I believe are the evolutionary successors to spirituality.

The core of these ideas center around: focused vs diffuse thinking, the exploitation/exploration tradeoff, computational irreducibility, information theory, systems thinking, and generally allowing some things which don't exist yet, but could theoretically exist, to exist in my mind as if they are already real.
Same here. Lauds before work, Vespers in the evening. I'm currently praying what I think is a Franciscan Secular Order variant. I also pray a short prayer at 15:00 (Our Father and Glory Be) which is purportedly the time when Jesus died on the Cross for us, which is also very beneficial. Sundays I read Scripture, following what is really a daily Coming Home Network schedule [1] - a couple of chapters from the Old Testament in order, a Psalm or a a short excerpt from one of the books of wisdom, a chapter from the New Testament

Hydrogen is the way for aircraft / long-haul vehicles. It's not about conversion efficiency it's about energy density v weight.
I believe most vaccines do not require continued injections for efficiency.

This is getting out of hand. As someone currently in a government quarantine, I find this continued push a blatantly clear example of the evidence. These do not work as prior defined vaccines. I have taken 4 PCR tests with 3 more needed before I leave.

They have all been negative, yet they mean nothing.

All staff is vaccinated, however they can not be anywhere near the people in the 'hotel.'

This is a by far the most isolated event of my life and seemingly on par with an upscale solitary cell.

Some related events took place normally this year, e.g. Camp++. Hackerspaces in some cities are also active, open and provide some of that atmosphere.

Don't passively expect the real Congress to come back (I think it's dead). Work towards finding substitute events that suit you instead, they will grow and eventually replace what Congress used to be.

> fortune cookies may actually be personal messages from the universe.

Try this next time you get one:

Take a few seconds and hold the fortune cookie in your hand. Deeply consider for a moment the comedic possibility that this fortune cookie contains a message from a higher power. Suspend your disbelief, just like you do when engrossed in a work of fiction.

Now, the key: ask a question.

Questions in the form of "Tell me about...", or "How should I approach..." etc are most suitable for the form of divination at hand.

Close your eyes and ask the question to the higher power in the cookie.

Now, have a predetermined method for opening and reading the fortune. I crack in half, eat one half, read, and then eat the other half (or don't, if I am being a brat / don't like the fortune). This part is about making a clean ritual of it.

My hit rate for meaningful messages skyrocketed since applying the above approach.

It might be fair but it's uninteresting and shows lack of self examination. The range of understanding of "spirituality" is so broad and personal nearly anything can theoretically fit into it.

You have people in here talking about their coffee and music habits, but in a way that is interesting and engaging with the question rather than dismissing it.

The fact that someone is so sure that they can't find anything like this in their relationship to the world might be interesting in some contexts but doesn't take the conversation anywhere new.
I am very happy with the ThinkPenguin mini router.

I like the Python course on HackerRank.

I also believe that the Python manual is top quality and that one of the best productivity strategies is to bypass StackOverflow and Google completely and to train yourself to look up anything in the manual which is possible to look up in the manual.

Who the hell skips car chases? What movie had a car chase that you wanted to skip that made that movie more watchable (this sentence applies to the furious films as well, skipping the chase scenes there gives you the dumbest drama of all time).

Great question!
We're doing a few things here: managing articles, reminding to read them, and gamification.

As reading later is not a chore, Alfread helps archive or postpone articles with a Tinder-like interface, so you can find a gem you want to read right now.

Reminders work when or where you want them. For example, you can set a time reminder for your lunch break or breakfast. Or set you bus stop as a reminder, if you commute to work, for example.

Any habit needs a nudge and a reward. Reminders work like nudges and rewards are small celebrations when you finish articles and achieve your weekly reading goal.

Do you know any other ways that helped you get into any habit in the past?

I don't understand why hydrogen fuel cells are not investigated for electric planes - it's a mature enough technology that you can get it in consumer cars, it doesn't suffer from the same weight penalty of batteries. If you put the powertrain of a hydrogen powered Honda Clarity in a Cessna 172, I'm sure it would work.

And the test covers much less surface area than most manual tests.

For code that's expected to be stable for a LONG time - sure, write lots of good tests.

For code that breaks at someone else's whim, which has a small shelf life, or which has a large surface area, think really, really hard about whether the test is actually going to be worth it.
I sometimes have a similar feeling to you with my sense of self but rather than an expansion into infinity, it was a shrinking of my "soul" or a shrinking of me the viewer and letting my body do the outside world experiencing. It's like I retreat into a tiny control room in my brain where nobody can see me or hurt me and I let my body do the work of experiencing things as I watch. It's kind of similar in that my body becomes one with everything and my self shrinks so much that it's nothing.
We only have one supermassive BH in Milky Way. Any other supermassive BH must live in a center of another galaxy.

> Since 2010, student loans are actually owned by the government

Federal student loans are owned by the government. Private student loans, of which there are many and more every day, are owned by private (generally for-profit) companies. They're also not covered by the student loan relief efforts of recent times (CARES), if I understand correctly.
I was going to reply none, but this is me.
Only a partial answer because I never get around to digging into it myself, but there is at least one other paradigm out there, "live coding", such as supercollider, csound, uh, more I'm sure.
> Though I'd imagine the difference is quite negligible. More effort though!

Depending on your settings it's pretty visible. You'd need to reencode at a significantly higher bitrate to minimize quality loss

Yes, and in a capability-safe language it's much more difficult to implement those flawed designs. (In the same way memory safety makes a buffer overrun vulnerability much more difficult to implement)

A concrete example is the Network capability mentioned in the article. The syscall to create a new process does not need network access, so in a capability-safe language that part of the OS won't have that capability passed in, so the OS won't be able to create new processes with network access. The Network capability, if desired for this process, will need to be explicitly added later by other code, in the OS or in userspace.
If they would just sell their LTSB/LTSC builds that are currently only available through MSDN and volume licensing deals...

It's not perfect, but it is wildly better and more stable than the consumer-available versions.
This usually doesn't work because of HDCP, and you'd have to reencode the video stream, sacrificing quality. Removing DRMs is a lot cleaner.
> Gould said that one faction of evolutionary biologists were mostly wasting their time

Yes, he said that, but he said it in the context of giving descriptions of what those evolutionary biologists were doing that were completely disconnected from reality.

> The letter signers you posted

Are an anthropologist and a psychologist, yes. But the criticisms of Gould that they describe are by no means limited to those fields. The names they list in footnote 2, for example, are a roll call of major evolutionary biologists of the 20th century. Those people are not "outside of science"; they are right in the middle of the scientific field that Gould portrayed himself as an expert on, and they all say Gould's claims are nonsense.
Shaolin Wahnam - been at it for about 17 years now. :)

We don't have a syllabus for Chi Kung but here's a list of some of the groups of exercises taught and some brief theory as to their uses: https://shaolin.org/general-2/five-animal-play/play09.html

I mostly stick with 4, 11 and 12 on that list - find the more advanced things still a bit overwhelming for more than occasional practice.

Happy to provide more detail if you are interested.
It's one solution to the problem, but it's not the only one.

Not to stray too far off-topic, but is anyone aware of any scientific studies on the exaggerated interest in Japan and Japanese culture among "nerds" and other social outcasts?

By that I don't mean Cosplayers or Manga fans, but rather the "tech" version of nerddom - people who don't follow Manga, Anime, or Idols, but are fascinated with anything if it's related to Japan.

I guess the most obvious reasons are the myth that "nerds" can find sex partners in Japan more easily than in their own culture, and the darker fascination of Western Neo-Nazis (like Breivik) with Japan's alleged racial purity and chauvinistic nationalism. Especially because a mass-murderer has openly stated his deed was "inspired" by Japanese culture, I wonder if the connection has ever been analysed scientifically.
definitely. although one of the hallmarks in a good photographer is the ability to find the exotic in the mundane.

> Sure, but you can't force by law those decrepit buildings along the Minhocao to repaint.

Hum... Technically you can. The fight would really not be worth it, but the city can pass a law that fines eye-sores.

Anyway, you seem to want something aligned with my first comment up there of conditioning ads on a well maintained structures. That would very likely work too.

About advertisement, it is one of those industries that look like if they reduced by orders of magnitude the value they provide would increase. If that's the case, the right thing to do is to allow it, but tax it heavily (so all of those proposals are quite good). But "looks like" is a bad basis for actual policy, real data would be much better.
I used to be devout Mormon, and a hardcore one at that. It was woven so deeply in my reality, that everything had spiritual significance for me.

A few years ago, I encountered history, documents, and truths about the religion that were never presented to me. Since then, I've slowly, painfully, removed myself from the religion, and removed the religion from me.

It's extremely painful to go from a space where everything is eternally, deifically, infinitely of value to "nothing actually matters".

I was diagnosed with PTSD this summer from the whole affair, as it was truly traumatic, and there were times that I almost didn't make it in the most literal sense.

But I've pieced together significance slowly and surely over the years. I've learned to slow down, love deeper, participate in the demanding process of finding and acknowledging beauty in this world, and have found spirituality in my own ways.

"The Anthropocene Reviewed" by John Green was a huge influence on my current flavor of spirituality (as it's constantly shifting). I'm sure the book means something different to everyone, but for me, it really broke down the need to work to build a habit of awe, and look for the things that stop you in your tracks. Observation and conscious efforts to find meaning and beauty are how I find my spirituality.
Fortune cookies are one of my favourites, too. I tend to use coin flips a lot. Occasionally I'll draw a rune or a tarot card, but I find I don't always understand what they're trying to say until after it's happened.

> In particular I pray to Ganesh to help me let go of negative things I'm holding onto (this was a beautiful outcome of therapy mingling with my spiritual life);

I always find it fascinating which gods magicians end up on. One person looks to Ganesh and Inanna; another to Odin and Hecate; another to Lilith and Satan; another to Jesus Christ alone; and they're all linked in their quest for occult knowledge and experiences. I suppose it depends on their own divine pattern and current 'balance' needs.

Was it 'Low Magick' that Lon Milo DuQuette mentions his work with Ganesh? I remember he had a Ganesh-focused, light-hearted invocation and banishing in one of his books. Was it, 'Pop goes Ganesh', to the tune of 'Pop goes the weasel'?
Get a separate router and AP. Router hardware is stable , but wifi tech improves every 5 years . Router/firewall config is also more complicated so you want more control and stability.

For The router get a mikrotik or ubiquiti. Then you can run small- business APs from Ubiquiti and TP link for example. Or convert an older router into AP with open source firmware .
