> Better documentation means more revenue.

This is not actually the way the system works, as currently designed, and so correspondingly this is not how EMR systems are designed. The documentation that matters is capturing the procedure codes and inventory codes for billing -- and EMR systems and the associated hospital workflows and security mechanisms are designed around making sure that those billing codes must be entered in order to do anything else.

This is frankly an astounding take - People like Louis are actively trying to increase the longevity of Apple products with stuff like right to repair.

Louis points out issues with Apple products and somehow he's a bad guy for that? Informing consumers is somehow bad because you think that people should only buy iPhones? Give me a break.
He must have tried all of those things he could, in the time he had.

"If supply-demand is in the Nurse's favor, then don't they get more leverage on what QOL and wages they can demand?"

I have a family member who works in public health and is trying to staff nursing positions. She has something like a $400k budget to hire 4 nurses at $100k each (let's say). She is unable to fill the positions because cost of living in her area has gone up so much. She'd rather have 2 nurses at $200k each instead of zero nurses, but she's simply not allowed to do that. She's trying to change policy but it's a massive uphill battle.

Power's concentrated very high up in health care, and it's exercised through the use of rigid policies. It certainly seems like nurses should command higher wages, but the bureaucracy has become very effective at preventing basically anything from changing quickly.
The biggest issue is that there are lots of writers and wannabe writers, but not very many readers in the US, not compared to other countries. (On the other hand, the US book market is huge, so we have that to our advantage.) And, for an ugly secret, most of the people who make the big decisions in the literary world don't really read more than the casual reader (who still reads more than 97% of the population, but that's another topic.)

If you actually become a lead title, you're going to get lots of interviews with famous people who didn't actually read your book, but who had interns skim it and prepare questions. (Jon Stewart was a notable exception; he did try to read all the guest books.) Editors and literary agents do generally read the works they select and produce, but not in the same way--it's more like 200-page-per-hour skimming--and it's not because they're lazy--far from it--but because they're overworked. Which is why the difference between a dead-end deal with a four-digit advance and no marketing and a seven-figure balls-out launch is based on Hollywood-style four-quadrant analyses and favor-trading rather than the quality of the work itself.

The good news is that so much of these things authors get worked up about don't actually matter all that much. It might be infuriating to learn that you're not getting a book tour, but typical book tours don't actually drive that many sales relative to the effort they require of the author. It's very hard to predict what will drive sales; I know people who've had national TV spots and only sold ~20 copies from them.
Not caring about stuff is never a valid decision to make

what good is it to care about this when there are not enough options to do anything about it.

hopefully this will change as it did with phones. the first mostly free phone was the openmoko, expensive but underwhelming in its utility, now several years later there are much more usable alternatives like the fairphone.

purism is still expensive, but eventually more choices will be available.

until then my only option is to use what's i can get.

so yes, i am making a choice to ignore the issue and get a cheaper device.

and that's the same problem debian is facing. debian developers actually do care, but they have to face the reality that a firmware free system does not work well on most devices.
The left, as I know it, is concerned about the entire first amendment.

Free speech

Free press

Freedom of association

Freedom of religion

Non-establishment of religion

That folks paint the first amendment as "free speech" and stop there is problematic. To deny that anti-lgbt and anti-abortion legislation is motivated by anything but deeply held and oft-cited religious belief is dishonest. If the politicians pushing this crap were Muslim, there would be a deafening outcry about Sharia law. Since it's Christian law, it's a partisan issue. This isn't just a free speech issue, it's an every last word of the first amendment issue (well, okay, this doesn't really touch on the free press).
Oh, translating marketing gobbledygook sounds fun!

From a recent presentation I received: "Accelerate delivery of new systems 'at the speed of need'. Paired with rapid capability acquisition approaches. Enable open architectures that promote modularity and adaptability. Pivot to better/different solutions to respond to evolving threats, new tech"

Ended up as

"Please note the new Speed computer. The boy has a quick path. Change open lists, remove true and true. It is best to want better than more than more than more than more than more than more"

I love the repetitive loop its get stuck in. Not sure how that happened. I also think "Please note the new Speed computer" should be the marketing phrase every time someone releases a new CPU.

I tried "kdenlive" for Windows, and it seems cool, but the UI is a bit old, not very handy in comparison to more modern tools in the browser.

Idem for Blender, it is very powerful, but there are a few steps to make it usable in Video Sequence mode. Also it's a detail, but the filepicker (to import MP4 files) is not the Windows native filepicker, so it's not possible to copy/paste a path... All these little things make it less handy, in comparison to other tools.

Would you have an idea for a in-browser tool? (Without the recurring payment thing; I'm ok for a one time payment)
I agree with your points, but I think there are narrower solutions. With respect to pricing, the problem seems to be the negotiations between hospitals and insurers, as well as hospitals' failures to institute cost-accounting. Forcing them to do better accounting, and have a clear price-list would probably help, but getting rid of the employer healthcare tax subsidy (or expanding it) would likely be a better solution.

With respect to ER care, it does seem impossible to 'shop around', but these cases make up a minority of healthcare expenditures. Perhaps government should cover these cases (though this could have horrible incentive problems), or this type of insurance should be separated from the rest, and somehow priced clearly and in advance (according to level of care) by a cartel arrangement or state regulated rates.
The rules nurses have to deal with around things as asinine as taking PTO are AMAZING. They’re required to put in PTO requests months in advance and the hospital can and will say “Sorry, denied. We don’t have enough people…” As they are intentionally creating skeleton crews of nurses to wring every ounce of profit out of the business.

My mom was a nurse, my aunt was a nurse, my sister is a nurse and my best friend’s mom is a nurse. I really can’t believe anyone continues to be a nurse given the insane working conditions these folks have to put up with. Twelve hour shifts, overflowing with patients, watching newcomers earn more than seasoned veterans… When I compare it to my laid back software engineering job it’s like I’m living in an entirely different universe. The hospital industry is a hugely demoralizing place.

> don't they get more leverage on what QOL and wages they can demand ?

Following up on this apart from my reply above, my observation is instead of raising pay they simply let roles languish. It's bizarre.

But then again it feels like that's what happens when nursing/AP care is treated as a cost center. It seems like they aren't concerned with addressing a market as much as keeping cost/income the same as it has always been.
I still don't get the s3 breach issue. I mean, buckets are private by default. Why would anyone take any action to open an s3 bucket that stores logs? If you do nothing you're already halfway there. Or is there a failure mode that I'm not aware of?
Smith's NYRB essay 'Generation Why?,' is essential reading IMO [0].

She nicely explains how so many bright, hardworking folks can end up optimizing on goals that made sense to, e.g., a 20 year old college dropout, but that might not produce much social value overall. Considering when she wrote it, the essay is downright prophetic.

The general point about the magazine being a venue for "elitist, East coast, alternative, intellectual, left-winged" [1] authors to write to and about each other is well taken. But I don't think they just got lucky in featuring ZS, I think they make an active effort to get good authors writing on important topics.

In some circumstances, nepotism and meritocracy might be observationally equivalent [2].

If only Windows, Java and JavaScript could also move away from internal usage of UTF-16, it's purely a legacy format and the worst of both worlds (UTF-32 and UTF-8). Even worse is that unicode itself, which should in theory be a list of codes for glyphs, modifiers and other script related values, that's independent of encoding, had to have some codes reserved for "surrogates" for the UTF-16 encoding anyway. UTF-8 doesn't need such a thing...
> I don't think "tough on crime" voters strongly differentiate, based on the behaviors of the prosecutors themselves. The biggest resume priority seems to be maintaining a ludicrously high conviction percentage, which is awful for different reasons (innocent defendants forced into plea bargains).

Well, I think your position is probably one of ignorance. Plenty of people I talk to are for tough prosecution on things like violent crime and against tough prosecution for simple drug possession.

> Only a small subset of prosecutors elected in the most liberal districts are rewarded by their constituencies for exercising prosecutorial discretion. I say that without making any judgment as to whether they're using that discretion well — I'm just observing that very few prosecutors work that way.

Yes, that does seem to be a trend. Prosecutorial discretion is actually important, but it doesn't mean you let crime run rampant, either.
I'm not sure attending traditional school with chronological peers does all that much to improve that situation. I know very few people who are still friends with anyone from high school, for example. I only have two friends from high school that I even talk to anymore, and only one that I'm close with. I don't feel like attending a traditional school did much of anything to help me develop social skills, as I still struggle with those quite a bit even now.

I am lucky that this is your case ; many of the software I've worked on had this requirement.

that's basically reimplementing cmake in make. I don't understand why I would do this work myself when cmake exists and is constantly updated to adapt to newer compilers, etc. without me having to lift a finger. + the generation of targets for the IDE - just in the last two weeks I had users come and ask me to have a build that can be worked on in both Visual Studio and Xcode. Good luck with doing that in make.

> When a large number of files must be compiled, there is no chance to see any difference due to the speed of the project build tool.

1k isn't very large though. There are projects out there with the source code without any asset sized in gigabytes.

> On the other hand for cmake I am not aware of any useful application, because all the examples that I have seen of cmake projects were not simpler than if those projects would have used make.

> The agency now has more power to choose which Boeing employees represent the FAA’s interests, and there are new protections for them from undue pressure by company managers.

This still smells strange, even if the Boeing employees are the most knowledgeable about the planes, having them be under FAA "control" but Boeing pay seems counter-productive.

I wonder if after it's all said and done, whether the splitting up of parts manufacturing will really have saved that much money. I also wonder how much of this is caused by pushing materials as far as they can go to get to the fuel/efficiency targets they want to hit.
This is the kind of issue that causes all that government bloat...

If I was a state employee and I wrote the app, and I had to release the source code, then I'm making it very easy for a bad actor to find a vulnerability and exploit it to leak the data of citizens.

One might respond: "Well software shouldn't have those holes! Just because it's closed source, doesn't mean that won't happen anyway

Also true, in an ideal world, the software should be free from such vulnerabilities.

However security by obscurity is a layer of defense... And there might be other controls in place too to help.. e.g. a git repo behind SSO...

If I accidentally check in a CSV of a data dump, or my access Keys, etc... It doesn't immediately become a data leak/issue.. I have at least some time to reconcile that.. but if the repo is publicly accessible, the moment it hits the wire someone can copy that data...

One might follow up: "Well, they should not make the code if they are not competent enough to write it and host it"

Would be nice as well! But sadly there is only so many developers that can do this kind of work with a very high level of security and competence... By requiring governments to make this code freely available, you could basically assume two outcomes: nothing the government has on you will be secret, including sealed records and private information. In addition, IT workers would be paid 7-figures with 5-10 years of experience, as every government project that touches software now needs 5+ highly trained workers to avoid gigantic lawsuits.. and no one could get an entry level job in government because one bad commit could cause an 8-figure lawsuit

And just to throw in a silly extrapolation... I would love an M109 Paladin tank... my tax dollars pay for them :-)

They do know:

- older, more mature organization

- based near the engineering teams; frequent collaborations

- unionized, highly skilled workforce

The people who took over Boeing and moved the HQ out of SEA intentionally picked SC to union-bust their own workforce.

MBAs just refuse to believe that workplace culture and experience matter — so they treat high skilled workers like dumb, replaceable cogs and then their companies fail a decade later when the senior/principal staff are incompetent or non-existent.

That same mentality is why their new planes have major issues:

They don’t have competent senior/principal engineers because they viewed mid-career engineers as “too expensive” — and so didn’t train any.
If wages equalized, it's unlikely they would all equalize to the top of the range. It's more likely to be somewhere in the top quartile or quintile.
Is that so? I could see Hobbes supporting the Musk definition of the principle of free speech ("that which matches the law") but not say Mill or Kant.

Hobbes of course didn't support Free Speech and advocated for censorship of the press in Leviathan:

“… it is annexed to the sovereignty to be judge of what opinions and doctrines are averse, and what conducing to peace; and consequently, on what occasions, how far, and what men are to be trusted withal in speaking to multitudes of people; and who shall examine the doctrines of all books before they be published."

– Leviathan, p. 164

Yet Kant encourages you to just mute and block the fake news:

'"such things as merely communicating his thoughts to them, telling
or promising them something, whether what he says is true and sincere or untrue
and insincere" do not constitute wrongdoing because "it is entirely up to them [the
listeners] whether they want to believe him or not"'

– Critique of Pure Reason, p. 238

Not the OP, but I would weigh in with D) it's worth trying, and we should learn what we can, but the phenomena being studied are too complex and/or subjective to yield the kinds of rigorous results that we expect from the harder sciences, and the opinions of experts are therefore necessarily more infused with personal opinion and bias.

I think it is incumbent on all fields to be exceptionally clear about which of their results are rigorous, and which are outside the realm of rigorous knowledge. For example, as someone with expertise in CS, I can give you very reliable information about computability theory, and pretty reliable information about what is technically feasible to implement using current technology, but my opinion on fair moderation policies for social media are not really buttressed by my CS expertise. I wish public health officials (as just one example) were similarly clear about what they have expertise about (how disease spreads and what interventions will have what outcomes) and what is their personal opinion (cost/benefit analysis of different options, who should get vaccines first, etc).
I'm not saying you're wrong but maybe this'll be interesting to some.
