Well, it's not reading for entertainment or relaxation, it's coursework where the assignment is to read the book and then write a paper analyzing it. I like reading but was always stupefied by the amount of reading (big armload of books and you had to actually read each of them cover to cover) that those classes required. Math was a lot easier. A class would have one book, would cover maybe half of it, and you didn't have to really read it beyond flipping pages enough to figure out how to do the problem sets. But I'm glad I took the English classes since their point was to teach critical reading and writing, which I hadn't been familiar with before, and which is an important skill. They weren't just about giving you cultcha by exposing you to litteratcha.
Unequivocally no. We know for a fact that central planning doesn’t work and never will. Economists agree as well. It’s not even a question worth asking.
These are cool ideas. My point in highlighting the 252-248 result is that it's basically a coin toss, and thus computers are not superhuman. I believe it should be possible, although difficult, to create a superhuman AI.
It’s a startup, so it’s an iterative approach. They launched with a setup that gets them into the market fast.
However, you are right in that this ain’t that big of a deal.

Pharmacies pay the acquisition price for the drugs. Then, they make up a fictitious price (called the Usual & Customary price). The U&C is intentionally very high, because it forms the basis for negotiating with pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs).

The Cuban-funded venture uses this as their price comp, calling it the “retail price”. However, the U&C price is only the retail price for one group of people: those without insurance who do not know of drug discount “cards” (nowadays mostly mobile apps such as GoodRx nowadays).

Basically, anyone with insurance or a (free) discount card will get a hefty discount on the U&C (always compare the two before using insurance, as sometimes, the “regular” discount is higher than the insurance one). Just plug some of the expensive drugs into GoodRx et al to compare and you’ll find that in some geographies, the Cuban-funded co is cheaper, while in others, it is more expensive (drug discounts vary across pharmacy geo. locations).

Pharmacies give non-PBM entities discounts bec they make money regardless.
Let’s say, you start an Rx discount biz. You can go to pharmacies and negotiate a discount plus a small margin for yourself. This is how GoodRx is making (lots of) money, for example.

Now, the innovation with this new co is that previously, drug discount cards and pharmacies were usually two different parties. All they did was to partner with a mail order pharmacy, negotiate a discount (acquisition + 15% is the classic Costco pharmacy price btw), set up a website, and tell everyone “look at how much cheaper we are!”.

The future vertical integration comes from taking this a step further and partnering with generic drug makers. I also suspect that at some point, they’ll start their own pharmacy.

I’ve been waiting for GoodRx or another discount provider to bundle these 2-3 steps in the distribution chain, but they have never done this. Perhaps they worried about competing with their pharmacy customers, as their model is going wide, rather than deep, while this new Cuban-funded venture is going deep instead, partnering with a single pharmacy.

Beats me why their pharmacy partner (or other such cos) wouldn’t just start adding their own discount biz. But perhaps they’re doing that and they had other reasons to do this…
I don't see the coyote quote you're referring to, but coyotes are pretty adept at urban life. They even make it into NYC, weirdly. They like the rat and cat populations there and have been seen in Central Park with somewhat regularity. There's no need to fret about the population of coyotes.

Fun fact, trying to cull coyotes can actually cause the population to boom. They're remarkably adaptable creatures and very smart, to boot.

> At $10k in America, KYC and AML laws force banks to step through extra layers of verification

Isn't that only for cash transfers?

> which would likely involve a mandatory in-person meeting with the bank customer

At least at Chase and Fidelity, wires can be done over the phone with no limit.

> to verify their credentials and purpose

I've never seen a banker really help to verify wire instructions, as in contacting the intended recipient. Normally they just ask the sender if they've verified the instructions, if they understand that the wire is irreversible, etc.

Of course when it gets to the bank's wire department, they make some attempt to block suspicious wires. But they're guessing based on limited info, as they don't typically contact the sender or recipient.

> I'm sure you'll still be able to recover that money back because banks are required to actually validate transactions of that size with KYC, AML, etc. laws

From what I've heard, fraudsters will (indirectly) transfer funds to e.g. a Nigerian bank and cash out there. It doesn't always succeed, but it does sometimes, or wire fraud wouldn't exist.
Arduboy is legit, these have been around and in production for years. There have been clones that sold with licensed games (Galaga, Tetris, etc.) in big brick and mortar stores like Target. It's a great little game system with a big community. It's also basically an Arduino with game-specific hardware attached (screen, buttons) so you can treat it just like an original Arduino board for hacking around with stuff.
I guess it will make it better for the media that report using Reddit as a source. No more "Reddit user Bob<slur><curse>Penis420 reported at 14:00 that..."
I was actually going to answer this but I'm going to use my better judgement. Kids end up in legal trouble doing this type of thing, it's not worth it. If you're interested in pen testing, learn it because it's a good career option, but don't go taking down your schools wifi network.
If I was speaking to an Afghani whose family had been devestated by a loved one dying due to combat I absolutely wouldn't be quick to correct the semantics of their language or argument. I'd speak to them with same reverance and scope that I'd speak to a Gold Star family.

KennyBlanken, who I replied to, mixed the facts of several incidents into one and presented them as a singular coherent idea. I think I'm allowed to dissect an argument on a public forum, if I so see fit, at that point.
Just options. VBA is there as well. Excel's virtue is not specializing in any specific task, but being versatile enough to express a multitude of business solutions. 'Excel is my database' wasn't always a punchline.

That's more than an equally domain specific process like Qlik, and more than a specific vendor tool like tableau. And anyway if PowerBI didn't have a pain point it wouldn't be a MS product.

Boy, are you in for a nasty surprise. But don't come crying to us, old men who warned you that what you really should want is a nice cabin near a lake with plenty of fish and an absolutely plain ass woman.
The Iberian wolf has been extirpated from most of Spain. Of course it’s not responsible for many attacks anymore. You may not be stupid, but this is a question of history, not biology. The present rate of attacks by the survivors of a nearly exterminated population tells us absolutely nothing about the historical rate of attacks that motivated the depopulation. Likewise it tells us nothing about what the rate of attacks would be if wolves were permitted to breed without interference.

As for your second point, of course when government pays for something it gets more of it.

Amusingly that is still the case in Old School RuneScape today, when in the Wilderness. And used to be the case everywhere in the world until they changed the death mechanics to be less brutal.
Why would you be required to download the extension?
It could still be improved. e.g., guessing right on the first word should evoke "lucky", not "genius".
I think it's clear in everyone's minds that right from the start Kubernetes was making Docker a first class citizen right? Borg did not use Docker. Borg may well be the technical ancestor of Kubernetes, but Kubernetes owes significantly more to the paradigm shift and cultural revolution that Docker brought. Therefore I believe it's more relevant to consider Docker the inspiration and ancestor of Kubernetes.
It's not obvious (unless you follow the author on twitter[1]) but a large portion of this has been rewritten with new content. Among other things, it now includes a section on detecting undefined behavior in unsafe blocks using Miri[2], which is incredibly neat.

When has the US had a Capitalist market for healthcare?

The US has a particularly horrible hyper regulated, government shielded, cartel-based healthcare system and has for decades - the time during which its healthcare costs have skyrocketed out of control.

The US could hardly be further away from Capitalism in how its healthcare system is structured.
I’ve designed one or two circuit boards in the past but that’s about it. I did a lot of prototypes to get things to work the way I wanted it and then working with a manufacturer in China that was very patient with me while we work out all the bugs.
You can get more of the agency you describe as an independent contractor working on smaller projects, or in early stage startups. There's nobody breathing over your shoulder, just a "give me an estimate, let me know when you think you can get it done" sorta deal. I do enjoy that work better, but it's not as consistent.

The scrum-driven, jira-driven "small chunk" style of development is kinda depressing to me. It wasn't always like this, and there's so many new folks in tech many don't remember it used to be different.
Gambling is one of these field where most people agree to regulate it, including the gambling companies, and it seems to be working decently well.

For instance mobile game gambling could have been way more rampant and destructive, but we have a decent set of rules and laws to limit the impact.

I can't imagine our society with 0 gambling happening, so if people will find a way anyway, I'd personally prefer it to be on the open, in a mainstream way. Blocking marketing wouldn't work when there are so many different forms of gambling, and obviously it also plays a social stabilizer role so I don't see any serious move to effectively stop people from gambling succeeding.

That case is not about accessing first party resources. It was about a German website which (effectively) shared data with a third party provider from a country with no adequate privacy protection.
If you're up for some hacking and soldering iron use, the Nintendo game and watch systems can be modded pretty easily to load more games, or homebrew code of your own creation. I don't think there's a pico-8 port yet, but it is a tiny little ARM Cortex-M4 board with a nice color screen, dpad, and buttons that you can load any bare metal code and go wild. There's a lot of good info here: https://www.reddit.com/r/GameAndWatchMods/
Generics are like no name brands who fight on price. Quality can be different. Usually it doesn't matter but I've seen some cause headaches in some people where the original brand doesn't have that side effect.
You mean Lotus Notes?
>>Another way to look at it is that the higher tension gives more force holding the rim where it should be.

Sort of. I'm pretty sure that the situation is basically a pre-load on a spring, and the spokes are tension springs. So, yes, you pre-load a spring and it will make the mechanism stiffer upon the initial force application. But, the spring is also that much closer to it's failure limit both in available travel and available force absorbtion capacity.

What I noticed was that I've been surprised on a good number of occasions to find little noticeable deflection even when I've checked my spokes on coming home and found them looser than I expected. They aren't sloppy loose or anything, but just loose enough that a good finger squeeze of two spokes would yield a few mm of motion, instead of twanging like a piano string. And I've been lazy enough to go out after noticing that a few times before re-tensioning them, with no ill effects. Hence my thought about really tight rear, and (slightly) loose front tuning. But yeah, something to test, not just go with ;-)

The other thing that I've noticed is that one can get a wheel so tight that it will fail catastrophically if one spoke/thread/seat fails - that gap in the tension structure can cause the pull from the other spokes to be so out of balance that it'll fold the rim. Seems to be on low-spoke-count lightweight wheels. So, I'm a bit skeptical of that approach.

Borg didn't use docker containers, but does use containers, they're just a form of containers that are propriety and predate docker by a decade (but like they're functionally really similar to docker containers, at least from the perspective of the orchestration layer).

So docker is maybe the thing that allowed kubernetes to catch on, but that's just because the external world was catching up to what borg had been doing for more than a decade, and so kubernetes was Google sticking a decade or more of expertise in container orchestration into the OSS world.
To my knowledge the targeted PLC lacked any form of protection when infected.
I don't think you'd launch to them specifically because they're doing what you're doing, making some SaaS business or whatever.

Just they do launches too so you could see what to do/maybe talk to them.

Just talked to them again (once a week on my dedicated FB phone for mental separation). I think it's worth it (supporting them every month), I mean it's definitely having a positive benefit on their lives. I would just buy another device/toy when they could get food/bills for a month kind of thing.

But yeah I battle that thing of "my money". Granted I still want to not be poor eventually. And buying something nice for yourself isn't a bad thing.

I would love for quality of life to improve so you could enjoy until, say 100, and then euthanize. The two problems i see are:

- Retirement age will likely be pushed until 80-85, to avoid long pensions.

- Young people will find it harder to get a job, even harder to get a well-paid one.

Adding my own anecdote. Many years ago, I knew a scientist who complained constantly about the pressures of his job. He was a hobbyist carpenter and dreamed about doing that for a living. When he bought a house and hired a contractor to remodel it, he took a few months leave to join the construction crew. After he came back, he never complained about his job again.
I believe it was from a mix of Greek, Hebrew and a couple of others, mostly depending on which section. I couldn't say which bits these references would have been from. Yeah there's a _lot_ of room for mistranslations or just doing the best they could.
The KJV is eclectic, but you're correct the rendering "unicorn" is from the Septuagint (monokeros).
I think that fits more into "ridiculous economic Chinese finger trap" than "security feature." It's similar to calling gold's physical weight a security feature, but at least there's a consistent and non-economic relationship between how much gold you have and how hard it is for someone to pick it up and walk away with it.

(It's also not immediately obvious that "more electricity" is needed to attack it, since a handful of extant larger pools could just conspire as-is.)
I kind of laughed at that, but it seems like asking for trouble. Bypassing paywalls on a slightly underground basis is something the publications might tolerate or live with like ad blockers, but doing it for profit is painting a target on your back.

Also I wonder what kind of hosting 12ft is using, where bandwith costs so much, unless they are using 100s of TB per month or more (maybe they are). These days there is tons of super low cost bandwidth if you bypass the big providers.
I'd throw in excel power pivot over SSAS cubes. It fills In some of the gaps you described.
The discussion is about a common scam in real estate, no Ethereum involved. The point the poster was making is that scams occur whenever there's potentially large profit to be made, and they're as much a feature of the "real" financial system as the cryptocurrency world.
Price controls have been historically disastrous, primarily leading to shortages. If anything the govt should be looking at ways to help increase supply of both. Remember all the domestic drilling that was shut down? Also it feels like the transition to electric cars is accelerating. Look at all the new electric car models coming to market this year alone.
I suspect the concept of port might not have been needed had we started with IPv6. As it currently stands we allocate each physical host a /64. That would mean that even if we by default used port 1 or whatever we would basically never run out of possible service end points. An IP address + port is just a way to multiplex an address.

It is kinda fun to work directly at IP level and not use TCP or UDP at all. I highly recommend giving it a try.
Haha, I was never on board with crypto and this is far worse. It's like fast tracking the usual crypto scam.

Also this guy seems rather green in term of internet scams,

So, the lesson from this incident seems to still be misconstrued: "Part of the problem was that the system by which such changes make their way around the world is very slow-moving. Japanese investigators would have had to issue a recommendation to the International Civil Aviation Organization; ICAO would then have had to adopt the new guidance; this guidance would have to have been propagated to signatory nations; those nations would have had to agree to adopt the new wording into their own regulatory systems; and then the new concept would have had to be passed on to pilots during recurrent training. Even if ICAO had immediately begun proceedings to clarify the relative precedence of TCAS resolution advisories and ATC commands (which it does not seem they did), it’s not clear that the changes would have reached the Bashkirian Airlines crew in time to prevent the accident. This is especially true considering that Russia’s TCAS-related regulations already diverged even from the original, flawed ICAO guidance. On the other hand, had the two planes actually collided, almost assuredly resulting in the deaths of an unprecedented 677 people"

This seems to be the problem rather than "Part of the problem". Putting the blame on a lack of "safety culture" and "risk assessment" at an ATC, but also claim that the TCAS is to be the final authority over ATC is contradiction. The necessity to consider air jet traffic in a probabilistic or nondeterministic collision environment would also imply that a system such as TCAS would benefit from stating probabilities with courses of action. Otherwise, operating procedures get defined where deterministic rules can be followed to prevent collisions. A nation's regulations do not apply when operating in foreign airspace. It would be helpful to know what steps if any ICAO has taken to address the guidance issue.
An old guy driving a car very fast would be a sight to behold. Most have slow reflexes and vision problems.
More information here[1]:

Bovine-led biodiversity: For millions of years, European land has been grazed – by wild herbivores, and, far more recently, by domestic cattle. This grazing has kept parts of the land free from forest, providing open habitats that support a wide range of plants and animals.

But today a decline in animal husbandry across Europe means these habitats, and their biodiversity, are in danger of disappearing. This is where the auroch, or its descendant – the so-called “Tauros” – comes in. Through selective breeding, Rewilding Europe and its partners want Tauros to occupy the niche the auroch once filled, keeping Europe’s rich mosaic of open landscapes flourishing through natural grazing.

These are cow ancestors that went extinct in 1627 and had as little 0.12% genetic distance from current cow breeds. This sounds reminiscent of bison/wolf reintroduction or the more dramatic goal of bringing mammoths back to the tundra. I'm pretty near 100% supportive of all these efforts. The holocene has been an absolute catastrophe for megafauna and we're increasingly realizing this has had dramatically negative downstream consequences for other species and even landscape and climate.

I find it really unserious the people comparing this to like, bringing back velociraptors and t-rex. They're being back-bred via existing cows, there's not even any "genetic engineering" as such. As far as I know no one's planning to reintroduce Smilodon to the Appalachian Trail - beyond maybe a few exceptions, I say bring back the megafauna.

Patients with heavy Covid cases ( like the ones that needed ventilators to breathe) took all the place in many hospitals and healthcare systems, and then some ( temporary and military hospitals were deployed to help with that). It's not even remotely comparable.
I remember a conspiracy theory that you could find out if your phone was tapped by not paying the bill. If the line still worked after you were delinquent, someone else was listening on it.
The insurers and hospital admins have been hiding this data for years and are fighting and lobbying against this secret data. Recent laws have changed what they must reveal - they fight on regardless.
