The most F'd up thing about our medical institution in the US, is that while "you must have insurance" is regulated - depending on the size of the Hospital Group - they all can (Could - may have changed since I last built a hospital) negotiate their individual rate with each insurance company based on the size/volume of patients.

This is wrong.

The coding for a given procedure should be standardized and priced as such.

This simple change could do great things for leveling the playing field for the nation of healthcare ;

If regardless of your volume of encounters on a particular code, the price should be set.

This may do several things:

Make rural hospitals/clinics more competitive with a major hospitals.

In my experience though - the big spending in non-medical areas that hospitals have are around "comfort aesthetics" (Art, pretty buildings etc)

Hospitals which cost $400MM -- to $1B facility (2009) spent a LOT on art. They seek donors constantly...

Maybe they should have the rich donors, as a requirement for their contribution, also require they provide a loaner art install.

This way - lets say you donate $1MM to a hospital, 100% of that donation should go to actual clinical build etc.. and the hospital should be precluded from your financial donation from being used to pay a digital arts company from being paid their ~250K fee through your donation...

I've built quite a few big facilities and art is a HUGE aspect in the health aesthetics of an environment ; but the cost is always exorbitant. Personally, having managed the install of such - I think that this should be outside of what the hospital should spend money on - unless the donation is specifically for art/aesthetics...

This lightens the build cost for large hospitals.

All of these costs get baked into the overall cost of the facility - and guess who pays for that? (not only in monetary costs)

It's already typical to have multiple IPv6 addresses per interface, due to privacy extensions. You can see which IP address an application is listening on with netstat in the same way you see the port number. You would need to allocate addresses differently—each host would get a /112 instead of a /128 so that the port number can be placed in the lowest 16 bits, and the tooling (e.g. "ip addr") would by default show the 112-bit prefix assigned to the host rather than hundreds of individual /128 addresses.

The real casualty from merging IP addresses and ports, however, is that it would no longer make sense to listen on a certain port on "any" address/prefix (::/0); if there is more than one interface or prefix assigned to a host and an application wants to accept incoming connections from each of them it will need to listen on multiple sockets, and open and close those sockets as prefixes are added or removed.

My point is the "domain" itself may be biased, and you won't know that if you go "well, 90% of the people applying are X, so that's what we're going to do" - perhaps the domain would be more heterogeneous but the non-X don't know anything about YC, VC, etc. There's lots of incredibly smart and savvy people on the planet. Eschewing them because "statistics" or "demographics" is, as i said, lazy.

This is nice idea, but it falls flat. In this case Apple's advantage, the actual reason consumers prefer Apple's devices, is because they restrict what code can be run on them, in order to provide a safe, trustworthy, optimized user experience. Why do you want to rob Apple (and the market) of this advantage?
My observation over the past year has been people are disregarding traffic laws more and more. The light is red? No worries! I'll just go through the intersection. And that's for traffic going straight! We've always had the problem of the left-turners slipping a car or two through after the light has gone red. Now it's 3, 4 and sometimes even 5! I'm now starting see people just go through red lights, treating the light like a 2-way stop. People never used to do that kind of stuff before, at least not in my neck of the woods. Oh and lane drift! Holy crap! People can't stay in their lane anymore. That's gotten a lot worse!

I too was thinking this was caused by the lockdown but now I'm not so sure. My state never locked down too hard in the first place and we've been largely "fully open" since last Spring - yet the driving has gotten worse. I was talking to my insurance agent about it and they said the number of accidents is skyrocketing. Great - so we have increased insurance premiums to look forward to which of course will be blamed on "inflation."

Thank you for building failscout.

I had a similar web-app-idea after my the computer on my Kenmore dishwasher broke after 13 months of use.

My goal was to identify products that have a catastrophic failure after an unreasonably short amount of time / pressure the manufacturers into improving quality control.

Tangent:

I also had an idea for people to log instances of items stolen from their luggage with the goal of identifying airports where this is frequent.

I had this idea after flying into Paris and finding my Leatherman multi-tool gone. After some research, I suspect that it wasn't actually stolen, but legally confiscated because it had a knife and France has laws against folding knives.

That article you link is out of date.

Global BTC energy consumption is now double[1] what it was in July, meaning the claim that it's somehow getting better spurious. The article also acknowledges that the energy consumption criticism is a valid issue (even despite the stats being out of date).

Can someone clarify for me, if the US intelligence services and the Western mainstream media are domiciled in FVEY countries, why should I consider their opinions as neutral? Why would they, under any circumstances, express the opposite view?
Regarding California in particular, there is actually plenty of water for the residents. About 80-90% of usable water is used for agriculture, and the majority of that produce is exported from California to other countries and states. For example, all around the capital of Sacramento there are 1000's of acres of rice fields. About half the rice is exported to Asia. Appx 8% or so of California water is used in and around homes, including landscaping.

It takes a gallon of water to grow a single almond, and 95%+ of the worlds almonds come from CA. It takes FIFTY gallons to grow an avocado, and 95% of the WORLD's come from CA also. These are not cherry-picked examples. I could have chosen dozens of other crops.

So, in effect, California's farmers are selling roughly half of its water (in the form of produce) to other states and countries. It's a bit like Saudi Arabia in this sense, but with water instead of oil. Unlike oil, of course, water does replenish, but nevertheless the rate of export is so high that the aquifers are nearly empty now.

Do make sure to take shorter showers though, fellow Californians!
Why would they be? If my manager wants to constantly change priorities, then it’s THAT much easier for both of us when that same manager wants to know why the five things we agreed to do in January didn’t get done come performance review in November.

Just seems like logical record keeping to me.

I think you're talking past each other a little. Markdown was designed to let you "write HTML using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format", and to "be publishable as-is, as plain text". Those are both explicitly stated design goals.

The argument that GitHub is abandoning the "spirit of Markdown", I surmise, is that a README file written in Markdown should be equally readable whether you're reading it as rendered HTML or not. It may be a minor quibble in some respects, but I think it's a valid minor quibble. If I open your README file in my editor, I shouldn't have to run it through external software to make it comprehensible. I mean, maybe your project has an awesome logo, but would you just drop SVG code in the middle of the README file and tell me that if I was using the proper rendering engine it wouldn't be profoundly annoying? No, of course you wouldn't, because you're not a jerk. :)

Personally, I try to use only the "reference" style of links in README files so they look like "footnotes" when read as plain text, try not to include images unless they're both supplemental and really helpful when rendered on GitHub (e.g., screenshots for editor themes), etc. Mermaid seems like it would be awesome for generating diagrams for finished pages, but it doesn't seem at all like a good fit for READMEs.
> citizens living in these cities are in support in large numbers

Source? The US polls I've seen show 60% support for vaccine mandates, which is probably why the government feels so confident in shutting down the protests. The media I've seen isn't portraying the protestors as violent but as a nuisance.
The important part is that people in these roles receive phycological support too,

That may be "the important part", but the article is very clear about the fact that, in you know, actual reality -- the workers at this company definitely are not receiving meaningful support.
TIL. I've never needed this, but it could come in handy in the past.

Thanks.
I would say open source creates new opportunities for developers. Instead of paying a developer to implement their own JS view library and then use it to solve a problem, you hire the developer to use React to solve 2 problems.

That said there is an aspect of AWS (etc.) making money off the back off the efforts of certain open source projects.

Stock illustrations on the other hand are a direct replacement for artist's work. If I find a logo online, I don't need to pay someone to design a logo.

> Media coverage of these protests is vastly negative.

Keep in mind that in Canada a lot of the media is state owned and operated. So the media coverage might reflect more on what the ruling party wants the people to think of the protests.

On the livestreams they had music blasting and children playing in the snow near the trucks. Doesn’t look like an “insurrection”, as the state media described it, by any stretch (unless they fear snowballs!).
Is there a company I can pay to actually do the dumpster diving for me, though?
Not the OP, but personally I'd be worried about the inconsistency of income. Maybe in the span of 4 months you make $100k off various bounties, but then in the next 4 months you only make $10k.

Then there's also the extra taxed you have to pay when you're self-employed, and the cost of health insurance (assuming US here, OP didn't say where they're from). Some people just like the security of full-time, salaried employment, with benefits.

> The reason for the tension is simple and you just need to look at it from other side. If Russia made a coalition in South America that would be spanning into mexico, US would act the same way.

Even if one were to agree that that were true, it wouldn't be a justification. Customary international law, the UN Charter, and the multilateral treaty Russia signed on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine do not admit to any “unless they make friends with people we don’t like” exception.

Whataboutism—and even moreso hypothetical counterfactual whataboutism—doesn’t change that. This is an extension of the ongoing crime of aggression being committed by Russia against Ukraine, for which Russia is solely responsible and culpable.
I doubt this is the case. More than likely Apple changed one of their IPhone API calls without notice and so this TOS change is a legal stopgap until the AirBNB devs can refactor the code to account for this unexpected API change.
I'm trying to save it by continuing to use it, and everyone should do so as well. Once it is gone Google will have pretty much absolute control over the web (not that they don't already, but it will be official then).

While it is true, these features seem to me to be added because Markdown is (ab)used the way it is. The issue is if you are working in an environment where it isn't possible, e.g. on a server where you only have vi/nano, and not even a TUI browser (or if you don't want to use an editor based on electron).

My issue is that you can still have a nice readme (often even giving a better, brief overview) by sticking to HTML-free Markdown.

Gitlab seems to be slightly better than Github, by allowing things like badges to be listed outside of the README, in the header of the repository page.
I don't think the truckers are trying to say that the government is illegitimate though? They are saying the mandate laws are illegitimate.

I like the idea of mermaid.js, but why does it have to be so ugly.

I don't know why, but whenever I've had a look at mermaid.js, it always made me feel like the syntax and generated diagrams were ugly. Am I the only one who thinks this?

Also what's up with all the useless diagram types?
I'm having a hard time with this. Let's say i have an audio file in audacity at 8000hz samplerate. Can i mix in a 15khz sine wave? is there any way to represent a 15khz sine wave with 8000hz of spectrum?

I understand harmonics, but those generally don't work backward, do they? The phrase "subharmonic" comes to mind but i don't know when that actually applies. Does anyone have a link of an explanation?

If this were the case i could tune any of my radios to a subharmonic of an FMBC station and see/hear something, but i generally do not. I have a pure ADC laying around somewhere (for o-scoping), how can i prove this to myself experimentally?
> Opinions cannot be verified, as they are based on personal experience / feelings / thoughts. Facts can have measurable data that will support / deny them.

You can go down the rabbit hole with logical arguments and fallacies trying to neatly categorize things into "facts" and "opinions", but it's not that easy IMO :)

For example, I could say "The world is flat" and you could provide all the evidence you want and I could simply say I don't trust the evidence, or your data or your measurement devices. After all there certainly have been "facts" with "evidence" that have been disproven over time as new measurable data was uncovered. I could choose to not believe your evidence while I wait for more sufficient evidence in infinitum. Even 99.9999% confidence still leaves room for doubt.

"I think therefor I am" or simply "it thinks" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cogito,_ergo_sum), is the closest thing to a "fact" that I've heard. Beyond that statement you have to make a leap of faith somewhere, even to believe the Earth is round.

> A UFO crashed at Roswell.

> This is claiming a fact, but we can't know for sure because we don't have reliable evidence either way.

Russell's teapot is an interesting counter argument to these assertions made without evidence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell%27s_teapot

> He wrote that if he were to assert, without offering proof, that a teapot, too small to be seen by telescopes, orbits the Sun somewhere in space between the Earth and Mars, he could not expect anyone to believe him solely because his assertion could not be proven wrong.

So, wether a UFO crashed at Roswell or not isn't really that interesting unless someone somewhere has evidence.

But practically, I think it's possible to organize content into "productive theories" and "unproductive theories", which is again still subjective. But a "productive theory" would mean that I have enough confidence where I can use the theory to get a useful or expected result.

For example, I don't care if the Earth is "factually" round or not, but I have enough confidence from my interpretation and trust in the collected data about the shape of the Earth that I can build a large-scale reflecting pool that doesn't overflow and program a satellite to not crash back down to the ground. I think a lot of people call these things "facts", but it doesn't mean I have 100% confidence or claim to understand the entire situation, it just means I have enough information to be successful.
It is still readable, though. It's not like there's a base 64 encoded blob in the middle. Mermaid is reasonably comprehensible (as reasonable as any other code block, at least) without any rendering.

I just want to thank Apple for pushing this agenda forward, introducing things I believe Google would never do themselves first unless pressured.

I still remember Apple introducing “track me while using the app only” in a new iOS years ago that stopped companies hoarding live geolocation of every app user.

And we still get new bits and bobs every major iOS release.

In just last few years we found out apps that unnecessarily scanned for our network devices or used clipboards for no apparent reason.

Keep them coming.
Then it's not merely semantics. We legitimately disagree.

It happens. Thanks for clarifying.
ASCII-art is generally difficult to write as denoted by the numerous tools that have been created to generate ASCII-art for markdown. ASCII-art is also much more difficult to edit after the fact.

The spirit of Markdown is succinctly described on DF's Markdown project website.

"Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format."

Mermaid makes it easy-to-read and easy-to-write. ASCII is easy-to-read, but hardly easy-to-write. While Mermaid isn't as nice-to-read, it's still easy-to-read. It's also much easier to modify than ASCII art.

Finally, Markdown itself was designed that while the text is easy to read, Markdown itself is a conversion tool. It literally takes the text and changes it into something that is more readable. This can be seen with how Markdown handles tables. It's literally HTML table tags rather than ASCII designed tables.

This is very much in the spirit of Markdown, and things like this have already been done in the original implementation.
Can you give specific examples of these 'things' though?
> On the livestreams they had music blasting and children playing in the snow near the trucks. Doesn’t look like an “insurrection”,

Except for the existence of snow, it sounds like things I’ve seen around fighters in the Palestinian intifada. I think you have an unrealistic view of what an insurrection looks like.
> Still, it advances the important goals of exposing students to a somewhat broader range of colleagues and helping to lift more underrepresented minorities into positions in the power elite, which remains heavily white.

I don't know about the power elite, but I wouldn't call Harvard or the Ivy League "heavily white". The current (or recent, last few years) composition of non-international students in the Ivy League is as follows:

Ivy League US Ratio
Jewish 17.2% 2.4% 7.16
Asian 19.6% 5.3% 3.71
White (incl. Jewish) 50.3% 61.5% 0.82
Hispanic 11.4% 17.6% 0.65
Black 7.8% 12.7% 0.61
White (non-Jewish) 33.1% 59.1% 0.56

Sources used were the universities own diversity reports, and the lowest estimate for the Jewish student body from the following Jewish organizations: http://hillel.org/college-guide/list/, https://forward.com/jewish-college-guide/, and https://ejewishphilanthropy.com/how-many-jewish-undergraduat....
