We build products that help healthcare providers and insurance companies broker contracts between themselves based on actual market information instead of guessing at prices. The goal is to drive down prices by making the market more efficient.

Part of that is assuming that prices will be public, so we encourage them to claim their own page and take control of the rates listed there.
There's also always the possibility that someone is struggling in a role or company or project, bored and unmotivated or burned out, and they will be amazing for you in the role you need.

And it's also possible they were actually high performing in their last role but they managed to bruise someone's ego and wound up first on the layoff list as a result.

There is just way more to firings and layoffs than performance.

Yes, I think if literally every single person in Hong Kong had a gun that would be enough to stop the CCP. The entire active military of China is about 2 million people, less than a third of the approx. 7.5 million people in HK. Maybe the CCP could bomb the city into dust, but taking it over intact would be a practical impossiblity.
The average internet commenter is careless and dumb. I've definitely made comments which I've later regretted, after realizing that the author would actually end up reading them. Often times comments are based on gut reactions which are given after barely taking any time to consider the art. Having a bad day and didn't enjoy the media quite that much, so you're a bit too mean and careless in your comments. It's easy to forget that there are real humans behind each creation.

As creators, it's probably healthiest to avoid comments entirely and have someone filter the feedback for you. It only takes a few inconsiderate assholes to make the creator feel terrible.

I recently experienced a lite version of this, where I posted what I considered to be constructive feedback on how to make a game community better. Immediately I was insulted, criticized, and downvoted. After the initial few comments I realized there would be no intelligent responses and I just stopped reading. Despite my intellectual awareness of this, having some kind of emotional reaction to the severely negative comments was unavoidable. It also means that going forward I'm less likely to engage with the community through that medium.

The game for which I have the largest number of criticisms and complaints is also my favorite. When you spend multiple thousands of hours playing a game, you'll acutely feel each minor bug, issue, and problem. The list of compliments and praises is just as long, as it's the most fun and entertaining game I've ever played.
For a litany of reasons:

* Congress's priorities are not my priorities, your priorities, or even particularly reasonable.

* Congress's ability to efficiently pass laws (at least ones that don't involve funding the military or lowering taxes) has consistently declined over the last 30 years. The last 15 years, in particular, have seen incredibly ugly political brinkmanship over basic legislative responsibilities. In other words: there may be abstract votes in favor of new EPA laws but they're difficult (impossible?) to materialize.

* Congress may feel it has no particular input to provide to the EPA's administrative interpretation of the law. This is the explanation that strikes me as most salient (even if all others happen to be correct): it's entirely possible that a majority of Congress sees no particular problem with the EPA's policies, and would much prefer to pass the buck and play political games around the EPA rather than actually changing legislation.
I had first hand reports from the field in the 1980's that the soviet union was falling apart socially and economically. Friend was a Russian studies major, spent two years in the soviet union. Another friend also spent six months there. And one of the board members of my old old company was in the oil and gas business and traveled to Russian a lot.
There is no point to comparing US expenses to other countries where drug manufacturers and hospitals and doctors are not allowed to negotiate, and have to accept what the government gives them.

What would you do if you were the insurer and there was one hospital in an area or 1 patented medicine and the government forced you to cover it?
Hyperfiddle https://www.hyperfiddle.net/ is hiring a REMOTE (USA and European time zones) UI platform specialist to help discover and implement pure functional idioms for fullstack composable UI. We develop Photon, a full stack Clojure/Script dialect specialized for reactive UI, that abstracts over the frontend/backend network separation with managed client/server datasync built into the language runtime itself ("UIs are streaming DAGs"). We implement the Clojure/Script compiler/analyzer infrastructure to compile Clojure/Script forms to monadic DAGs, distribute the DAG over the client/server distributed system, and then emit reactive dataflow expressions. (It's a lisp interpretation of haskell's Free monad, applied to web UI.) You'll be working on or adjacent to that. You'll also assist with "HFQL", our interactive UI modeling DSL that compiles to Photon. To apply, send your links to dustin@hyperfiddle.net (keep it SHORT) or DM me at https://twitter.com/dustingetz. https://hyperfiddle.notion.site/Hyperfiddle-Photon-progress-...
> taught me to honor my parents, taught me the value of tradition, morality, spirituality

Those do not sound positive at all. It sounds like you were successfully sheltered from secular and liberal ideas by traditional and conservative parents, which matches with my preconceptions of homeschooling.
For context, the proposed limit of 10 euro / gram taxation is the average total price in Amsterdam coffeeshops. So it would be an effective 100% tax rate. California taxes at 15% and still only manages about 60-70% control of the market.

If their goal is regulation, I think they will need to chill a little on the taxes.
fwiw, you are not the only person who avoided buying Nissan over this lawsuit. While they may never be able to see the impact their decisions have had on their bottom line, it is likely more than most people would guess.
No point?

The point is that we should be doing what they are doing. When you're in a hole, stop digging.

I would get rid of private insurers and have the NHS negotiate prices.
It this a windfall profits tax?

But that isn't true.
Nisan is relatively common Hebrew name from the month of Nisan

Integrated public schools are now generally recognized as having the biggest impact in reducing racism. Plus the lack of support for public schools would increasingly leave kids with disabilities out of luck. So there’s a moral angle. I’d rather my kid grow up to be non-racist and I could fix any deficiencies in their schooling
I once checked them out (or a provider they had bought, might be "Sofort") when all other options seemed worse.

IIRC I would have had to log into my bank account through them, giving them my login data and letting them read all of my transactions (data they use to gauge trustworthiness, I think). I was shocked that that's legal and amused to find out it probably isn't.

(Disclaimer: Highly anecdotal, it was multiple years ago)

What a sociopathic thing to comment. Seek help.
except it isnt functional. it is covered in burnt cheese that will take hours to fix. it's a huge waste of time to clean off burnt cheese from such a tiny piece of material.

collect a bunch of similar materials from the dump and bulk clean them all into workable materials again with a pressure washer in the same amount of time.

Work an extra 2 hours, use the money to buy a new toaster, and spend the rest on food for the homeless.

the moral argument is bullshit. it's a waste of your time, and the only reason you dont think so is because you get personal enjoyment out of fixing things (i do too)
Fresh garlic contains alliin (two Ls, two Is) and alliinase. Cutting or crushing garlic mixes the two, which starts a chemical reaction that turns them into allicin. Allicin has an incredibly powerful flavor--it's overwhelming, even. Jarred garlic has lots of allicin and there's not really anything you can do to prevent it. To prevent the chemical reaction, you prevent the alliin and alliinase from mixing, and to do that, you keep the garlic whole. I honestly don't think that choosing a different brand or different method of preparation is going to get you any advantages here, this is just how garlic works.

This chemical reaction explains why every method of preparing garlic tastes different. If you use a sharp knife and cut garlic into thin slices, you'll get less allicin and once you cook the garlic, it will be more sweet. The sharp knife doesn't crush as much of the garlic's cell walls. If you crush garlic in a press, the chemical reaction happens at just about maximum speed, and you get a very pungent garlic flavor.

This chemical reaction evolved as a defense mechanism against animals who would eat the garlic bulb. Bulbs in the same family--onions, garlic, shallots, scallions, etc--basically engage in chemical warfare. Humans (and certain other animals) have a number of adaptations which allow use to eat these foods anyway.

The time taken to write the article must be orders of magnitude more than human being needs to spend on peeling and squeezing garlic in their lifetime.
Anecdote: I recently had my yearly glasses update. Cost was $188 to me + $20 of insurance copay, so the glasses provider charged $208 for the glasses.

That's not too bad, so I asked how much it would be to replace/update the lenses on my old frames, entirely at my charge.

It would've been $450. Just for the lenses.

I passed. I find it scandalous how much they can charge when just before they were perfectly happy to accept less than half that amount.

Instead I got another pair on EyeBuyDirect for $80.

It's not just the insurers themselves, but the whole system. Burn it all down.
So what I did is look up all the Monkey Island games. There are essentially 7. The Secret of, LeChuck's Revenge, The Curse of, Escape from, Tales of, and Special Editions of The Secret of and LeChuck's Revenge.

And I went look up screenshots of every game.

Consistency does not exist. The Secret of and LeChuck's Revenge are pretty similar, The Curse of looks very Dragon's Lair-esque/Don Bluthy, Escape from looks kind of ass to be honest. It's very "early 3D" and did not age well. Tales of is also 3D and is ok-ish. The remakes are also 3D, but also different from both Escape and Tales of.

And the character design of Guywood changes from the first two, to the third, to the fourth to the sidestory, to the Special Editions.

So any argument based on "consistency" is a red herring for something else. Consistency has not been a hallmark of this series, graphics-wise. This series has more departures than LAX.
Aren't all customers "price sensitive" ?
Meta clearly have too many employees in comparison to the number of users. Even if we calculate that on the fake official user count. In my sphere people simply do not use Instagram and Facebook anymore besides for chatting. Instagram kinda killed itself for me with all the porn spam.
This discussion is about insurers negotiating pricing, not about politicians enacting taxpayer funded healthcare.
If every generation since your great great grandfather had 3 children, then you can expect your great great grandfather to have 81 descendants in your generation (most of whom would have a different surname - to a first approximation you only retain the surname if your connection to him is on the father's side at every level).

I'm guessing you wouldn't know all of them, and in the olden days people had more kids so it could easily be a lot higher than that. Isn't it possible that the people running the brewery are also great great grandchildren of your great great grandfather?
I greatly dislike the idea of using a glass object as a hammer.

The side of a knife works very well, not sure why it's not universal...
I would love to know how many hours of video get appealed each day. I'd be willing to bet there isn't even close to enough money to pay people to make decisions on all of that.
Even knife sharpening has Gatekeeping.

On many forums some people think that ceramic pull sharpeners will ruin your blades and you should use stones and oil.

I've been using ceramic pull sharpener for 30 years on the same $100 chef knife.

It's still in better shape than 95% of the knifes I've used in other people's homes.
If congress was really unhappy with the EPA's rules they have the power to reign them in. So in this the Supreme court is intruding.
The lead artist of Return to Monkey Island worked for Double Fine previously, so it shouldn't be a surprise that if you didn't like art style that Double Fine made a "house style" you likely wouldn't be interested in what an alumni of that art style is trying to innovate at a follow up studio.

> If anything, the comments of the fans show that this artstyle alienates many of the fans.

Vocal fans are a sampling bias. Don't forget that volume in terms of loudness of complaint does not equal volume in terms of number of complainers. It may not be that "many" fans in number just because they have been that loud/obnoxious.
Well that's one way to wipe out your common stock holders. Later rounds probably have some sort of down round protection. So this is probably terrible for founders and employees.
Persistent Memory Allocation
Probably not Windows 11, which is a whole other "throw out your working computer" discussion we should be having. That decision by Microsoft is probably more impactful than Apple's decision.
A marketing post, just using a web service on a phone with a bluetooth keyboard... it is just having a very small screen on a tripod. Nothing impressive here other than the will to waste one's eyesight.
Sure, but disinvestments are not skin in the game. Terms like that should not be used colloquially where they don't apply. He has personal reasons to now oppose China, given the current anti-China sentiment and the fact that his progressive agenda is opposed by Chinese interests. It's not meaningful.
Maybe he or she wanted to keep it real?

So do lawyers.
This would be true if there were a reasonable amount of market understanding by customers and the friction to switching were low. Neither are the case. Most of the time, it takes a qualifying life event or open enrollment (once a year) to switch. And then, understanding the trade offs between plans, which are difficult to understand on a good day, is another barrier.
No instead they will call you before the trip and ask you where you are going and then cancel the trip after hanging up.

If it is raining or the sun is out or the trains are busy or it is any of one a hundred random reasons - you will have surge pricing. Not just 10-15% extra but 100-150% extra. But don't worry keep standing around for a 30-40 minutes and checking the app eventually the price will come down...
No, they do more dangerous and violent things, because they are completely unregulated.
Speaking of refrigerants, you can replace R22 directly, R134 sometimes directly but desirably with new oil and capillary, and probably other refrigerants with... R290 - an innovative compound that is very environmentally friendly and cheap. Also known as Propane.

I've done it with my home office room A/C, a small 12,000 BTU unit. I couldn't believe it when I found out you can do that.

They say R290 is cleaner, purer, blah blah, but the gas from a simple propane tank you can get anywhere works fine. Remains to be seen for how long, so far 2 summers and going strong.
I think the lesson for Taiwan is clear here. There will be no sudden military invasion. The CCP will first take a similar approach of embedding party loyalists into Taiwanese civil society, assuming positions of power. Only once enough puzzle pieces are in place will a military takeover occur and by then it'll be far too late- the party loyalists embedded in Taiwan will sit on their hands and watch it happen.
Mostly true, I should have clarified “customers who have a choice to buy an alternative”.
I've been a vegetarian for almost twenty years now, so my memory is a bit faded and the vegetarian and vegan products have changed a lot in that time. My experience is that it greatly depends on the type of product.

I've never, ever eaten a vegetarian burger patty, steak or Schnitzel that tasted like what I remember. Many still taste good, but I think for things like steak the texture is as important as the taste, and I don't think there is anything that believably emulates the texture of steak.

Things are different for sausage and thin sausage slices that you can put on bread, like salami. Especially the vegetarian salami tastes and feels exactly like I remember, and there is a large selection of vegetarian or vegan sausage replacements. Those are great, though I don't understand why they're more expensive than the actual meat products.

What I really miss though is gyros. No vegan gyros has even come close, and I've tried a lot. Probably again because texture matters just as much as taste. I'll just have to live without it.
You can Socrates this definition or you can recognize that it is a useful term for talking about global power imbalances from the latest wave of colonialism that resulted in the global order we see today. You do recognize and accept that such power relationships exist, yes?
For reference, about 1 in 500 people have their gallbladder removed each year in the US.
Huh, I always crush with the knife edge _before_ peeling, then the skins come off easy as pie.

This is after washing the garlic segments I plan to use, then I save the skins along with other washed refuse from carrots, onions, celery, etc and use that when I make broths with bones I've collected.

Then from those broths you can reserve the fat layer that accumulates at the top and use that to sautee veggies, mm mm mm!
Nice try.

It's a discussion about private insurers systematically sucking at their notional purpose. Which they absolutely do. They need to be replaced.

"They're doing as well as could be expected" might be an exoneration of a company, but it's an indictment of the system.

I think experienced users know how much they can smoke and are equipped to make rational decisions. I buy weed in the 15%-19% thc range. I know if I share a bowl with my wife then after that bowl we are good for whatever we want to do that night as long as we are home. I smoke far less if I am leaving the house and interacting with people, then I limit it to 2 hits off the one hitter. This is because of experience though, I know my limits and what I am attempting to accomplish. The issue is individuals who equate weed with a harmless drug. It is harmless in that you are virtually guaranteed not to die from it but if you over do it things can be rough. Never understood why people feel the need to start with 3 or 4 hits of something they have never tried before. Take a hit, relax. See how you do. If its your first time, then that's it, next time depending on your experience try 2 hits. No need to start at maximum. You need the slow increases over days to understand your limits, experience comes with time. Its like trying alcohol for the first time, taking a shot of everclear and 5 minutes later deciding it had no effect so you take another shot. Its not a good idea.
