Doctors and Surgeons in America are incredibly highly paid. People love hating insurance and drug companies but the cost of people is driving much of the price.
"You realize ~50% of the country doesn't even have enough money in their checking/savings to cover a $400 emergency expense right?"

Great quote. Yet I see a lot of really nice cars humping down the highway. Teslas, Bimmers, Rivians, Ionics, etc. Er'ybody on their iPhone 13ProMax AND their AppleWatch. Spending like there's no tomorrow.

Like the man said about living within your means...
Well, if they believe in markets that's basically what money is for: you think something is worth more to you than to somebody else, then just pay the other party for it.

There's plenty of cases where this kind of reasoning fails, because it doesn't care about ethics, but in this exact situation there no ethical question at stakes, especially since Uzi Nissan bought this domain name in good faith. It's just a matter of how much the two companies value their respective utility for this scarce resource.

(+ insert rant here about how all capitalists love is crony capitalism and how much they hate markets)
I doubt there is an official paper to be found to go with it, but one of the most intriguing things I've seen in the past few years was metamine - which has been pulled from the internet, except for bits you can find at archive.org

The main thing about it of value is that it managed to coherently mix imperative and declarative programming models

a variable acted like normal, but a result (for lack of a better term) was always updated it the inputs to the function changed

this had interesting uses as the clock was one thing you could use to feed your results with

Digital finance: agreement reached on European crypto-assets regulation (MiCA)
That's the stuff I buy. Always good.
My wife and I have one child and she requested homeschooling for high school.

So we moved from Europe to Idaho, where it's supported. (I'm American.) She's been doing a hybrid model of two classes a day at the local school and the rest on her own, and it's been incredibly successful. She's going into her senior year now and is looking at top universities like Harvard, Oxford and Yale. We couldn't be happier with the experience.
That says more about you than the art style.
Yeah, cameras calibrate out those pixels essentially by taking a photo of total darkness (taking an exposure while the shutter is closed) and discarding any pixels that still read bright. I noticed this happen a while back and the location of the dead pixel was visible if I took a photo of fabric. I could see where the pixel was being interpolated from surrounding pixels. Super subtle, I could only notice by knowing a-priori where the dead pixel was, but something that an algorithm could detect.

I wonder how well this fingerprinting technique works when photos are resized or manipulated, though.
Your question relies on multiple assumptions that not everyone, including me, may agree with:

- domain names should be distributed based on some measurement of "utility"
- the Nissan company is bigger than the Nissan person, therefore they have a higher utility
- domain names control should be changed outside of one's control

There is no perfect way to assign domain names. As you say, first come first serve has its downsides. But I don't like the idea of big capitalistic companies taking over domain names just because more people know them; in fact that's yet another demonstration of capitalism accumulating even more resources at the expense of someone less.
> Home Price to Median Household Income Ratio is even worse than 2008.

And don't forget, the people that were lucky enough to get houses before they became unaffordable have to (somehow) fork over the real estate tax on the insane valuations of those houses - which newly unemployed folks won't be able to do, so there are going to be even more houses for investment firms to buy.
I've been a bit unemployed and bored so I've responded to a few of these to see what the angle is. There are also a bunch on telegram. Strangely, most do not push hard at all and drop off. They may mention crypto in passing but thats it. One time a scammer said hey can you help me an make an account for this crpyto scam website. When i said i did they said great and nothing else.
I've been reading about healthcare systems off and on, sometimes fairly seriously, for over 15 years, and my conclusion about the entire US system is that "the problem" is "literally everyone involved".

It's why various schemes that target one thing (say, excessively-expensive doctor liability insurance, which gets talked up as some super-big deal and a huge part of the problem in certain circles) are typically expected, on sober analysis, to have only a tiny effect on prices—everyone is taking too much money, at every level, so at most steps the % increase over what's reasonable isn't huge, but by the time you filter through a few layers of that with everyone piling atop the other layers, sure enough, it's a solid 30%-40% more expensive than it has any reason to be. But there's no one, or two, or even three things you can point at and say "if we fix this, we fix almost the entire problem". Every part of it needs a shake-up. It's like 20 different, though interrelated, problems, contributing to the bad result we see. Addressing most or all of the problem will take tens of measures, or else one big, sweeping, fundamental overhaul (M4A or what have you)
Yes, but it sounds like forensic researchers envision this tool being the equivalent to bullet striation. So in other words, law enforcement finds a suspect, captures their camera, photographs RAW images, and then compares the sensor imperfections in the seized camera to known illicit materials.

Of course this breaks down with used sales and camera rentals, especially since those aren’t tracked as intensively as firearms sales.

lmao you couldnt figure out how to turn off your tv... spoilers, hold the power button for 2 seconds.
I doubt people using the term global south generally believe that the west must be the solution to global power imbalances. At most they might believe their countries should stop meddling in the affairs of post-colonial countries and let them develop on their own without further wealth being extracted. Reparations would also presumably be on the table but that's really a pipe dream given the current state of the discourse, where your average american has zero understanding of how labor organizers halfway around the world being shot are connected to the wealth they see around them.

> The fact that it's just a letter and a finger wag implies that the government might know it's not a "true threat".

Which makes this action unconstitutional. I doubt there's any kind of immediate legal recourse, but it doesn't change that fact.
Hear hear. A much better worded explanation than my soul would allow.

I’m dumbfounded when the observation is made. On the one hand, if it’s just common sense that large corporations will do what they want to anyone at any time, isn’t our need to fight them on it similarly common? The second part is always left out. Probably rarely on purpose, but always to the benefit of the aggressor.

My understanding is that lungs are an extremely inefficient way to get chemicals other than oxygen into the bloodstream (by specialization of what the lungs are intended to do). Twenty minutes may not be enough time for your lungs. Anecdotally I've known people that don't get high until two hours after their first hit.

Personally, I prefer the efficiency of the stomach and digestion system myself. It seems much more reliable.

If the data is ordered by row as in your example (e.g. {1,a},{1,b}, etc), a relatively straightforward option would be to read all columns for the row and use the values as a key such that hash(columns) -> list(rowNum).

This may not give you the lowest number of leaves depending on your dataset. If you're looking for the absolute smallest number of leaves, you could use each column as an individual key and start intersecting their lists to see if that produces a reduced leaf count.
6. We are not made for the Internet. It's going to be the downfall of civilization.

I went into that calculator and it does not say anything about inflation... Do annuities get wiped out by inflation (i.e. they'll keep paying me the agreed monthly amount, but unfortunately it's not going to be worth much)? If, then they're pretty crappy.
I was speaking more generally as to what could have formed such a culture and why games might be different than others.
People knew there were dotcom stock bubbles (dotcom bubble) and real estate bubbles (GFC). People knew during the gas crisis that the supply shock sent inflation skyrocketing (70s). People knew that wildcat banking would cause insolvency and runs (tons of recessions and panics in the 19th century), people knew that unrestricted lending would cause the mother of all long squeezes (Great Depression).

In this case people knew that overly dovish monetary and fiscal policy would overstimulate demand. That leads to inflation, and the Fed’s job is to balance inflation with employment, and since the unemployment rates they look at very low, that means it’s time for them to raise rates to curb inflation by reducing aggregate demand. This has a knock-on effect of cooling asset prices since credit becomes more expensive and harder to get, so the market deleverages.

One difference is that expectations are set but interest rates/the money “printed” due to overly dovish policy are still in the process of being changed. So stocks are sold off and people are planning for a recession, but layoffs and the actual economic cooling haven’t happened yet.

It’s entirely possible that the fed is able to cool inflation easily (it could also resolve itself if Russia stops fighting or China stops trying to do zero-COVID) without that much of a recession, but raising rates lowers demand, so since rates may go much higher than they are, a recession is likely. In terms of assets, rising rates and subsequent recession involving lowered rates are already priced in
You are correct, if convincing is the goal. Attempting to convince the unwilling becomes exhausting over time.
Consider reading "Dumbing Us Down" by John Gatto for anyone who isn't yet convinced about the benefits of homeschooling.
No, the commenter is not saying that. And you probably know that?

The context is right there in the comment:

It is better to read the whole comment in context and reply charitably. See HN guidelines.
Cholecystectomies can also be performed in cases of cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder) which can of course be caused by gallstones but also by infections of the bile tract, reduced blood flow to the gallbladder and other nasty things like tumors. Not sure how exactly this product caused the inflammation though..
This will be huge! I’ve found that self paying can be 1/nth the cost of paying through my insurance. But you need to request self pay up front.

Being able to better understand prices before hand will drastically help people reduce their healthcare costs.
You don’t need to automate the whole process, just use language models to establish rapport for a few weeks and have humans pick up the gullible ones at the bottom of the funnel.
[hypothesis]

Pre-cooked lentils typically are canned, and the canning process ostensibly includes enough heat + pressure to denature dangerous lectins. So, consumers aren't used to thinking of pre-cooked lentils as dangerous.

Consumer cooking equipment makes it hard to cook lentils without reaching a boiling temperature that denatures lectins. Think an instant pot, or even a stovetop cooking method. But, browse slow cooking subreddits and you'll see many warnings that beans shouldn't be cooked in a slow cooker without achieving a full boil for some period of time due to lectins.

It seems to me like these dangerous lentils were prepared in a slow-cooking method that never reached a boil. And, any food facility that routinely works with beans or lentils should already know the dangers of lectins. So, it seems that the food production facility wasn't used to cooking with these ingredients.

This won’t end well and in the current environment of high inflation the fed has no choice but to raise interest rates and companies will continue to layoff into the recession.
Even with the cage I'd be worried that the content could still slip into the toaster.

I'll keep using my toaster-oven for that.
Recent developments in certain sub-sections of internet media definitely point to the exact opposite, in fact.

You have to assume the patient has mental capacity to make that decision. I saw first hand family member without DNR went through. I don't want that for anyone.
Any camera does a huge amount of processing before even giving you a raw file, in most cases. And any algorithm for data reduction like converting true raw sensor output to processed data, say JPG, is somewhat hash like. But not a cryptographic hash, more like a locality sensitive hash. Of course this can be exploited to identify cameras.

Really old Sinar digital backs came with a calibration file unique to the CCD serial, newer cameras have it embedded in their firmware typically. You can also build these calibration files, but the way you apply it will still leave processing "marks" that someone will be able to pick up.

Homeschooling does require a lot of commitment and consideration of your limitations as a parent. For example, I think there is value to cooperative homeschooling for some subjects (e.g., science, which requires equipment). Trying to "go it alone" for everything can be a bad idea. In addition, most states don't provide funding to school at home, so homeschooling parents also face an economic disadvantage.
Unlike insurance companies, we don't benefit from customers passing away.

If customers are living longer, our algo's slows down the capital payouts which means that we earn fees on more assets for longer.

Therefore it makes commercial sense for us to give customers tips to help them live longer.

For example, I just found this today: https://academic.oup.com/ageing/article/51/5/afac080/6572254...
I cant see how 9v dc can shock you aside touching the leads with tongue... or using any step up electronics.

As a kid we used to test batteries voltage with the tongue, 9V had a distinctive bite, compared to 4.5V. Even today I can tell the output voltage of a multimeter (in its ohm mode)

Consequences of SCOTUS overturning rights to contraception, same sex marriage
> In the scheme of ethical philosophy there is, pretty much by definition, the most extreme position of "might is right".

I've occasionally wondered, is that not reality for all of us? Even us living in democratic nations? Is democracy at its core not a "might" (through a greater cardinality) makes right of sorts?
I maintained a blog for a good 10 years, and even got some readership and (generally positive) feedback and one day I found that I just couldn't drag myself to write for it any more, no matter how hard I tried to force myself.
They don't. They released a couple videos a few years ago and there was a significant decrease in viewership. Ultimately, theyre a company with almost 50 employees and everyone needs to be paid. Clickbait is annoying, but it's just that. Annoying. Their videos are still high quality and that's what actually matters.

So what are the credible news sources?
"When the current Supreme Court issued its ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization last week, overturning Roe v. Wade and eliminating the constitutional right to abortion, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote a concurring opinion that sent chills through almost anyone who takes the personal freedoms of modern life for granted. He wrote that the Court “should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell,” the decisions that legalized access to contraception, the right to engage in private acts of intimacy with same-sex partners, and the right to marry whomever one chooses. All three of these cases were decided using similar logic to Roe, which was based on the idea of a fundamental right to privacy rooted in the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution, which establishes due-process rights and equal protection under the law for all citizens. The impact of the Roe v. Wade reversal on the economic prospects of women—especially low-income women—will be significant. If the Court were to restrict access to contraception as well, the results could be financially devastating, potentially leading to a drastic reimagining of women’s role in our economy and society at large."

The real problem is that Congress has never passed laws to prevent states from banning these things or requiring licenses, but the Supreme Court used the "right to privacy" to pass them. Even RBG said that this was a weird way to go. Interesting future we have here... I expect that the Supreme will overturn their decisions and then Congress will eventually pass laws.
I'm genuinely curious about this. I skimmed the article and didn't see mention of this, but does the statute of limitations apply here?
The point in an invasion that's reached that point isn't to turn back the enemy with your backyard AKs; it's to rack up the casualty toll to prevent the supposed victor from achieving peace. See also: Iraqi IEDs.
If you apply the same anti-consumption calculation to everything in life I applaud you wholeheartedly.

That said, you can buy a toaster oven for $30 from Walmart, and that cost covers the energy, material, transportation, and labour, plus markups at each stage. If you assume a $0.10/kWh energy cost, you might have at absolute most 100kWh of energy used in manufacture. That puts the oven/toasteroven breakeven point from an energy perspective at no more than about 60 hours of heating element usage.
Every community decides for itself what technologies to adapt. The nearest to me have a single phone booth in the front yard of one member's house. Anyone wants to use the phone, they go there to make a call, and most only use it if they need to make an appointment at a hospital for serious illnesses.

Others not quite as close are a fair degree more liberal in what they adopt, while I imagine there's probably a few that are more strict.
