I feel at this point that dentistry is closer to chiropractics and homeopathy than actual science.

Many years ago I wasn't in the best financial position and went to the dentist. He identified a number cavities needing filled and quoted a hefty sum, and I put off the procedures because I couldn't afford them. I diligently saved for 6 months to pay for them and when I went in for my next checkup, I asked about them. What cavities? No your mouth looks fine.

I've had similar situations with my children, getting quotes for thousands of dollars worth of work. Getting second opinions and using different insurance changes those quotes and scope of work dramatically.

At this point in my life, I don't trust dentists at all. I'm sure they're not all crooks but how do tell?
"on the job"? Most likely. But I spent a lot of time and money getting a degree from an accredited university, where I was bored the whole time and maxing out the number of credit hours they would let me take while also working as much as I could. Why? Because I could've aced the first 2 years of CS classes by the time I was 13. I would imagine that's not uncommon among people who grew up with a hacker mindset and had the resources to explore it. I surely had gaps in my knowledge - not saying I didn't learn anything from the college experience. But I would love to live in a world where I didn't feel like I would, at some point, be better off with an accredited 4-year degree just to get or keep a job in the first place.
> It is easy to cherry-pick data and studies that seem on the surface to support your preconceived conclusions, but I feel you are missing the forest for the trees

That's exactly my point. That's why some people have this fantasy of Scrooge McDucks throwing around money and disobeying all laws just because they have money, when its just not true.
Which is unfortunate, because outside of gitlab.com, I've found gitlabs CI offering to be more unpleasant than any of the competition in terms of "DevOps" implementation, scalability and automation.
This paper is studying how requests to the smart speakers are used. Smart speakers translate requests into text, and I'm assuming the ads are just keyed off the resulting requests just like they would be if you put them into the search system manually.
If you follow the history of HR departments in a lot of modern corporations you often see them operating as private in-house legal firms, and aggressively expanding their purview to include even actions at the executive level. The only thing most HR departments look out for is HR. Everything they do resolves around continuing or expanding the power of the HR department.

Your comment on lack of leadership is spot on. No one wants to be accountable. Instead HR departments put in place bureaucracy that works to deny individual fallibility in the name of a "system of human resource management". They want to treat people like a cog in a machine instead of as people.
You could do it with a file picker API that opened an out-of-process file picker. I'm pretty sure this is how WinRT works. Would be tricky for a purely command line workflow, but very doable with a GUI.
Ok you got me (I laughed)

I'm just so sick of the container security shills; in particular I'm tired of people selling debian advisories with zero value add on enterprise contract.
That's a very important legal distinction, but it's absolutely irrelevant to the principle.

An honest call for freedom of speech would defend it against all censorship, public and private.

Indeed, between the two, I find censorship by private "oligarchs" more threatening. Public officials come and go, but the oligarchs remain.

(Edit in response to Volundr: We're not talking about small magazines about Harleys here. Someone who has billions of users and power that rivals governments and changes the outcome of elections must be prevented from abusing that power.)

Your experience at Amazon probably isn't due to the incompetence of others, but due to a difference in alignment.

In the business world, the time of highly motivated, talented engineers is extremely valuable. It doesn't make sense to dedicate any more of their time than necessary for the average internal webapp. Adding automated builds/tests is usually time that's not being spent on more impactful initiatives for the business.
I think for EU blue card you need to find your degree from your varsity in some database, to successfully apply.
I feel bad because he spent a lot of time building up a case for it to be ruined from it all resting on this one really shaky foundation. I feel like this probably happens often in science.
I don’t think it is greed. And I don’t think retirement early is a good idea. Especially seems kind of bad for society.

I think the point is more. A lot of Money needs a lot of effort to manage it. Alone if you realize that optimizing taxes could have a huge impact, which kind of pushes people to choose tax friendly jurisdictions. I mean its like why should I pay billions of taxes if it is possible to avoid them. So the pressure is huge. Then if you are owning companies, that means a lot of management as well. So of course you could just say „fuck it“ , but it is not an easy call.
But like the very specifics... is there any creditor in CAR who is going to be forced to take bitcoin as payment, who wouldn't have done it voluntarily before? Or is there something about this other than the most basic definition of what "legal tender" means? Or is this just 100% PR? Like does this actually change a single thing for anyone, even rich people, in CAR?
And I shower during work hours.
Two yes and:

States have to certify the whole stack. Even without (electronic) voting machines, the state can deny the ballot production, tabulation, etc, softwares.

There are no longer political parties as the layperson understands it. Oftentimes, local and state orgs are antogonists with their own electeds. Electeds mosdef don't feel any obligation to those orgs.

Rather, electeds protect their own power, their caucus, their fund raising cartels, and mosdef their powerful donors and lobbyists. More often than not, against the expressed positions of the orgs.

It's baffling that so many people insist this is not happening, or that it's too computationally expensive.

On several occasions I've seen ads appear based upon things being discussed, but never searched. Always with the realization I was near a smart device with a microphone (or an app with permissions)

I think in hindsight this will be similar to the realization that systems like XKeyscore and PRISM were not only technically possible but already deployed.
True, but at the same time, you are insulated against some sudden shocks. I always try to have enough money to live on for about a year, so that I don't panic and start making bad decisions if business goes wrong for a month or two.
I'm thinking about doing the same thing. I just found out about "authenticating proxies", like traefik-forward-auth, and I'm hoping something like that plus keycloak would allow me to easily add 2fa/webauthn support to a couple of applications I host at home.

Well, it's allegedly a punishment for exercising speech (I mean, it looks like that, but I doubt that's enough to win a constitution case).

The smoking gun would be a leaked text from De Santis saying "We'll get the woke bastards. We'll take away their special district." But I don't think any evidence has emerged yet showing that was indeed his motivation.

Having said that, it was voted through by Florida lawmakers; it would only take a handful of loudmouth politicians saying to camera "See? We're winning the war on woke at Disney!" for a plausible case to start emerging.

There are like 4 million nurses. Where are they going to go for even remotely similar wages?
What is unethical is often up to personal interpretation. I can make the case for all the things you listed. This is exactly why all of them are optional modules.
> median $77.6k/yr

Given the amount of school a nurse must have, that’s low.
Consider this: Rent out the house, move somewhere where you can continue to work remote and have universal healthcare or similar systems where your healthcare risk is limited. Quality western european countries will accept folks with as little as ~EUR25k/year in passive/rental/remote work income.

Personally, healthcare costs keep me up at night regardless of NW. I've seen high net worth individuals get obliterated by a black swan healthcare event (almost always cancer).

That's an interesting claim, but it's plausible. I would have thought "Happy Birthday" or some Beatles song. Is there a list of most recognized songs someplace?
As everything in this measure, the point is to make the whole procedure as useless for independent repair shops as possible. Independent repair shops desperately want these tools and that's exactly why Apple isn't giving them to you.

I love that you wrote this last night in response to the recent front page. :D What a cool project!
Feels a lot like 'Real free markets have never been tried!' which we all know from its standard form on the left. If, at this point in history, real free markets have been unable to sustain themselves in the areas of the economy that people depend on the most (healthcare as a major example) then perhaps we ought to consider whether they're able to sustain themselves at all. I believe free markets and meritocracy are two systems commonly pointed to today that may be 'ideal' in one sense or another but which in practice cannot help but sow the seeds of their own destruction.

Markets exist by virtue of laws created by governments - property law being the primary example - expecting actors in a free market who aggregate enough wealth to affect those governments not to just strikes me as unrealistic. It reminds me a bit of gaming. Everyone agrees that in a competitive game the most fun part is early on before a 'meta' can be established. But of course that meta will always end up established and it's basically dumb to be mad at people for metagaming or to otherwise expect them not to.

Seems extremely selfish that the functional members of society should be the ones to pick up the burden of your poor decisions and I don't really see a benefit of society if we did, I mean you don't have the skill or talent to pay it off now, are we really going to see your full potential when we bail you out of the only responsibility you actually do have?

Does that mean that independent businesses can buy genuine replacement parts? I'm not really interested in fixing it myself, i just want to leave my device at the corner store and pick it up in a few hours. This seems like another one of those programs that will be used so little it won't make a difference but it looks good and is ammo for their anti repair lobby
I'm in this business too, and it's not just the direct features supporting the law, its the law driving out time and talent trying to make things better. We don't have time to improve systems because we are all too concerned with meeting the latest regulatory pipe dream of interoperable systems.

Systems that nobody has ever asked us to use. Entire APIs with full access to key data, that nobody uses.
We are using a container hosting .net6 with our lambda. We use it where I think lambdas really work well, that is to process queue items off of SQS. It works well with the dead-letter queue as well. We dont notice any performance issues, but this is just a processor, so we don't need to worry about real-time responses either.
> Looking at the levels of obesity in the U.S.,

This is not unique to the US. Can't really say "but we only have 25% obesity here" and call that any kind of win. Maybe the US leads in this regards (though it varies by region, some areas have European-level obesity rates), but obesity is a worldwide problem.

Yes exactly, the text is arguably data derived from voice recordings. So they can say that they don't use the voice recordings for ads, while omitting that they do use the derived text that was recognized for ads. It's unclear language but I wouldn't be surprised if this was the correct interpretation.

Non-car modes of powered transit - small petro scooters, e-bikes, etc.

> Imagine a law that said white people get 10% off of every purchase. Now that law is repealed, and white people say: "I'm being harmed!" Are they?

Sure. Slave-owners were also harmed when the slaves were freed. The fact that a harm is just does not make it not harm.

Put another way, would you really claim that someone put in prison for assaulting someone was not harmed? In most cases it's going to be pretty clear they were, yet it can still be just for the sake of protecting others.
Great SaaS opportunity
I've worked in healthcare law for a few years and I think the problem boils down to how it's regulated.

It's super, duper complex with lots of paperwork. The complexity is too great to run a small practice, the Medicare/Medicaid fees are too small to make up for it, and it increases the importance of administrators in the hospital system.

If I had a bunch of time I'd love to go through and write up a proposed alternative approach, and congressional bill -- but I have to imagine even if I did that, no one would listen to it.
The thing is though this is good for shareholders only in the very short term. In the decades-plus term, doing the right thing is best for the owners.

And this is why we need savvy shareholders who vote in AGMs.

Unless I'm missing something, one common use case the GUI makes a lot faster is issuing commands that need container/image/volume ids. Opening a terminal in a container is a click or two instead of two commands where the second requires visually parsing some large screen of text and carefully transcribing a few characters. It also hard to remember all the command line flags and their inconsistencies (which commands support -a and which do not?)
Hard drives and monitors, mostly.
Oh shoot. I don't know how that happened. Thanks for the tip, I'll find the video and fix the link. (Now done.)

Supermarkets in the UK are already rationing sunflower oil due to the shortage. A lot of concern about food prices in general as a large amount of our processed food is produced with sunflower oil.
Running an email server, that is secure, is not easy. In the mean time, before you're qualified and know what you're doing, your mail server is a danger to others. From being an open relay through just plain unpatched security vulnerabilities. It's not the consequences for you, it's the consequences your fuckups have for everyone else.

There's plenty of other tech they can screw with.
Seems odd that speed limits on learning were(/are) the norm at most top institutions. What purpose do they serve aside from being slightly more administratively convenient.
Mastodon is too obscure and small for anyone to notice. If Mastodon ever achieved the scale of email, the necessary anti-abuse measures would also result in centralization of Mastodon services, just like we see with email.
Do you think that's what it was? I was in the Boston area during that time (I consulted at Lotus, Wang, and Prime) and mostly it seemed as though the business location was a matter of "where did the founders go to school" (MIT vs Stanford).
“…the Other is the abstracted mishmash of everyone you’re seeking the approval of.”

Really? Seems like a term like ‘the Other’ should apply more broadly. Like calling poltergeist only the Civil War dead…
Thanks for the links! I agree with you that it's almost certainly related to recent events and probably not the best course of action to save taxpayer money in the short term.

To restate my position - I don't believe that Disney (or any other corporation) should ever have the ability to levy taxes in their own special district as that is explicitly a function of government.

Instances of political revenge, especially in this day and age, are not rare or limited to one side of the political spectrum. I oppose any attempts to target groups of non-affiliated people (by race, sexual orientation, etc), but can't be too upset when the casualty is a mega corp like Disney.
If I had to guess, they notified the networks in question and either received no reply, invalid reply(f*@k off) or received a reply but no corrective action.

It looks like the "other cloud providers" corrected their problems, or something. Since Cloudflare was able to generate a usable signature, they could have used it in their routers to blackhole the traffic. Guessing here... It's been years (late 90's/early 2000's) since I've had to deal with enterprise networking.
What y'all are missing is those aren't just "degrees". They are formal, proper, and rated programs.

They are not, pay $5k, click some shit, adds some water...instant degree.

You're comparing gold to turds.
Labcorp is fantastic. I do my own yearly checkups through them. You can pay 100-200$ and get a comprehensive panel done on you even checking your testosterone or estrogen levels. You can pay a few bucks and have a doc review your results too or you can give them to a teledoc to review that most insurance providers have.

I hate going to the doctor's office to have them order a panel so that I can go to a labcorp and have the doc call me and say everything is good. It's all free but my time isn't.

Going directly to labcorp bypasses everything and they give me the results to review myself.
Because most people who need to make such adjustments have already made them.

ugh yes re gatekeeping -- maybe there's an argument for requiring a prescription for some treatments, but at least in the US it's illegal for patients to self-order diagnostic testing. the new york AG sued a lab for doing walk-in blood tests without a prescription

'didn't accept insurance' is interesting -- in the econtalk episode with the surgery center of oklahoma, the guest claims that he's able to offer better medical outcomes by being out of the insurance system, and implies that billing things at a mainstream hospital has become so hard that it consumes more mental cycles than medicine

it seems like the medical system as-is isn't the right service for people who are fighting the system to get a diagnosis; I wonder if there's a different model that would work better

or tbh a specialized concierge doctor that just prescribes things that you ask for

That's a pretty great article. For anyone closely watching the security start-up space, there are going to be a LOT of new companies emerging trying to tackle authorization over the next few years. The move to zero trust is really putting a spotlight on how hard this is to manage.
> The more money you have, the more you have to loose. When you're worth 20 Mil. you've got to worry about where it's invested and hope it doesn't all go down the drain

True, but there are plenty of safe investment options if you're willing to have lower yields (CDs, bonds, the S&P, given time). Of course anything can fail, but that applies to everything and everyone.

> you certainly can't leave it in cash otherwise, you'll lose 75% in just 14 years.

I'm not familiar with this stat. How is this calculated? Inflation and expenses?
Income? Won't the ultra rich pay $0 then? Also- devil's advocate but a speeding ticket is a speeding ticket. They should pretty much all cost the same. Minor cost for minor crime. It's not the same as something like VW emissions scandal or opioid epidemic stuff.
You forgot one.

Doctors that blatantly lie to your face because they want to push some procedure.
Can't remember one in the US, but it can vote against the popular vote and, therefore, it can be used to protect the integrity of the office.

Much like the Queen could have stopped Brexit (and produce an institutional crisis), because it's her job to protect the country above all else. Unfortunately, she didn't.
>Retaliation is me doing B because of A.

No, and you're twisting what you know retaliation to be, to pretend that is merely "cause and effect." That's very deceptive, because I think you know that it doesn't make much sense to say "He gave me a nice gift, so I retaliated with my own nice gift."
Not true. I read the report and it is going well - extremely well for a period this short.

Unless your definition of "well" is that everyone would just up and stop using fiat overnight.
Funny you should mention that… reading all of this, I was thinking of a podcast interview with a nurse who was retiring from hospital work. His primary reason for leaving was being tired of fighting with hospital ownership and administration, and was planning on switching to travel nursing which appears to be more of a "gig" space.

He did consider that a career change, I think in the same sort of way that a computer programmer like (presumably) most of us would consider quitting Google to work on an indie app or videogame development would be a career change.

The larger point is, medical professionals are bailing from the hospital system, which looks pretty busted.

I've thought about buying an infrared camera, but I've found them to be terribly expensive. Not in scientific terms as they are precision instruments, but in 'I have some money to spend on amazon but this thing has high three figures so I'll buy something else'.
