The sibling is right but in this case we'd probably do something like Medicare + 20%, which is actually close to what most insurers do for some of the codes already. It just removes the cost of negotiation, brokers, out of network, etc. and actually lets you know the cost up front for most appointments. We also need to get rid of service levels for most appointments. It is just used as an excuse to up charge by having patients fill out pointless paperwork. We also need to reimagine our service provider models. We have already move to CMAs to take blood pressure, etc. We also need to move to PA or LPN instead of a Dr for most cases. Ear infections, colds, flus, etc. are a majority of family appointments and can be handled by lower levels. The Dr can then review cases and deal with the more complicated cases where her expertise is most needed.
You can very well have a system stuck in a local maximum. Even if we assume that WFH is the most optimal state for the system, it may remain stuck in the less optimal state until it gets a "kick in the butt" that pushes it out. When it comes to WFH, that kick was the pandemic.
Damn, this is the most unrefined way of preparing coffee that I've heard of. I have cut down on caffeine a lot a few years ago, but I still enjoy the ritual of brewing coffee in a espresso machine or in chemex. Most of the time it's decaf, too.
Don't worry, for most people, their workplace will feel like a prison as well.
> Null is only allowed in unsafe code.

That’s clearly not the case, as the exact code in the post prints ‘&nil’ in current V master, and if you add a dereference you get a segfault (which someone else just filed as https://github.com/vlang/v/issues/14911).

> Overwriting of len was never fixed, because it was never an issue in the first place. The author made it up.

The home page claims the language has “no null (allowed in unsafe code)”. println(*[]&int{len: 1}[0]) is not marked unsafe, yet it still segfaults by dereferencing a null pointer. Can you explain why you say this was never an issue?

(I’ve filed this as https://github.com/vlang/v/issues/14914. A related issue in maps was filed a year ago: https://github.com/vlang/v/issues/10837.)

> It's always worked like in Go.

Go is not a language that claims to have no null.
Exactly. Sunshine is proven to supress melatonin production (no matter whether night owl or early bird). Melatonin is usually produced at night and encourages you to feel sleepy. So later waking up times are certainly helpful, even if the person goes to bed a bit later.

I've been writing Python daily for 15 years but when I have to do any configuration beyond `basicConfig()`, I still groan. In many instances I have wanted to do something like temporarily turn on logging of HTTP requests, which turns into a much more involved effort than it ought to be.

I just recently discovered that there's no documented way to dump the current configuration (https://stackoverflow.com/q/72624883) so you can see what loggers exist and where their output is going.

I mean - to be fair lobster is basically a giant sea cockroach.

------

Although these organisms appear to be very different, plenty of evidence suggests that the lobster and the cockroach are more similar than many people might think! They are both arthropods with segmented bodies, exoskeletons made of chitin, and a need to molt as they grow. Both groups have compound eyes, jointed legs, and muscle fibers gathered into bands. (Is that why they taste good?) On a more superficial level, lobsters and cockroaches are both active at night and omnivorous, consuming a wide variety of foods. And while the arthropod phylum contains lots of other creatures, such spiders and centipedes, anatomical and DNA evidence all support the idea that insects and crustaceans are more closely related to one another than to the other arthropods.
There's more than two ways to do things, which is the other problem with conversations with random internet users.

You don't need to just let them cry and not address anything, but also telling someone to "just ignore the haters" is probably just as effective as telling a depressed person "have you tried not being depressed?"
since there were a few comments, telling me it's impossible that what I experience happens.

Background: I've seen a lot of violence in my childhood, lost my friends more than once through moving or switching schools, have been abused in school by a teacher and felt unwanted in general.
Although I'm smart, I always was forgetful and felt stupid, took longer to understand things than others, one of these would be enough to give depression.

for about 30 years I suffered depression, started when I was about seven up until roundabout 35 years old.

I was only diagnosed with serious depression(suicidal ideation, woke up at night, thought someone evil is in my room, crying a lot, hopelessness, low energy, panic attacks, unable to hold down a job), adhd and some borderline schizoid spectrum in 2012, went to therapy, rehab, and emotion control training.

In 2017 I left the latest rehab with doctors telling me there was no hope.
Up until that point I was the person who would eat anything, didn't care, meat, fruit, carbs, sugary stuff. I love food!

Sept 2017: In the forums Keto would pop up now and then, that was the last thing I hadn't tried the last 4 years so I thought I'd give it a shot. And within a week the depression cleared. And every time I told someone they told me, that it's not okay to eat that much meat, and food can't cause depression, and I should go back to eating "normal". Energy levels where higher than I'd ever known, my mood stabilized.

My finances were down to the last penny, so I had to prioritize meat over everything else, someone mentioned zero carb. At that point I still ate dandelion (picked them in the streets, on lawns, in the surrounding fields) with lemmon juice, just to get in enough fat for the ketogenic diet. I decided to give it a shot. To my surprise, the panic attacks went down within a week, I stopped waking up at night and seeing things that weren't there.

If this experience is placebo, I'm okay with it. No doctor has been able to explain it to me, I don't have any allergies to food, so it has to be something in the gut. I have a sibo-test sitting, but haven't done it yet.

So now, roundabout 5 years later, I've been working since 2019, high performing in what I do, no needless crying, no energy crash, no suicidal ideation. I'm still forgetful, but that's okay.

Baseline eating is 170 grams of fat/70 grams of protein, preferably organic, locally sourced beef, but I'll eat anything meat that comes my way.

Over the years I've tested all kinds of greens and carbs. All kinds of seeds seem to give me hopelessness, while sugary fruit, tubers and processed carbs sap my energy and green veggies seem to give me the idea that someone is watching me. When I don't test for a few weeks, I'm stable and don't get any of these effects.

There are some things I can eat, but even they seem to have a threshold. Currants, glazed onions, Coconut milk
raspberries (A handful a week seems okay, more will trigger symptoms)
artificial sweeteners - curious with these, they make me angry (again 4 days until it sets in)
I'm failing to reconcile the image of a hypothetical teenager who is both so irresponsible and incompetent that you can't trust them to get up or make breakfast on their own without burning down the house while simultaneously being capable of having an after school job.

If you can't leave them unsupervised in the mornings, surely they can't be left alone after school either. Net net, there's going to be some time they're unsupervised. May as well let them get some rest. Maybe the lack of sleep deprivation will even encourage better decision-making.
This sounds like a vast over simplification and plain scapegoating. All the school start time surveys I've seen typically have an even split up to moderately favoring normal start times. Half the school is not on the football team.

I'm most assuredly not a coffee snob (Folger's? Bring it on), but I just don't like the taste of instant. I will say that an AeroPress is one of my best investments for a quick, good tasting cup of coffee (faster and cleaner than my previous plastic pour-over thing that cost me $2).
> However, we had several external supply side shocks due to the pandemic, and Russia's war on Ukraine, which drove the cost of goods higher.

just a sec. huge inflation started before Russia’s war. and it was due to the government printing huge amounts. the politicians miscalculated and we’re paying the price. Russia’s war just confirmed things will be bad, it was not the precursor, no matter what the politicians are saying.

Public school socialization.

Humiliated by teachers.

Bullied by some people.

Small circle of friends.

Adults as the enemy.

All the homeschooled kids I've met seem pleasant, polite, comfortable around other kids and around adults. Of course this is Northern California so elsewhere the story may be different.

Oh, and homeschooling is forbidden in Germany, under a 1938 law.

1938. Get it? Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, elbow in the ribs.

Just to see who doesn't like homeschooling.
My thought on the 9th would be that it would not limit our rights in any way and by that same thought not allow an all powerful state or federal government from encroaching on any right we may have not enumerated.

The balance of power has definitely changed since the countries founding. If you read about the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of 1798, you don't see states doing this anymore.
This is so true. And that also defines "pro" tools, those tend to be the best money making devices, and not the technically best devices. They speed up work, maybe hold longer, or are a tad more ergonomically. Because all of that matters if tools are being used for hours every day to earn a living.

In the end, it is the end product that matters. And that is influenced a lot more by the person and ingeredients / raw materials then it is by the tools being used.
> James Dwyer, a professor at William and Mary Law School and co-author of “Homeschooling: The History and Philosophy of a Controversial Practice,” told me: a growing segment of “the mainstream middle class, well-educated and not on either political extreme, has been very disenchanted with public schools’ response to the pandemic.”

from https://www.latimes.com/california/newsletter/2022-01-24/8-t...

There are many other articles about the growth of homeschooling during the pandemic, and the likely causes. As the author of the LA Times article notes, the data is still being gathered so experts' theories have yet to be validated with certainty.

But I've not seen anyone question the notion that the people who have recently started homeschooling are not demographically the same as those who homeschooled pre-pandemic. If you have seen such claims, I would be interested to see them!

"Large institutional investors are, in effect, “Universal Owners”, as they often have highly-diversified and long-term portfolios that are representative of global capital markets. Their portfolios are inevitably exposed to growing and widespread costs from environmental damage caused by companies. They can positively influence the way business is conducted in order to reduce externalities and minimise their overall exposure to these costs. Long-term economic wellbeing and the interests of beneficiaries are at stake. Institutional investors can, and should, act collectively to reduce financial risk from environmental impacts."

I think we mostly agree - I'm with you that "Ignore the haters" is usually a good, supportive thing to say in these situations.

Are you sure that you want to be told "You're too sensitive" when you're having a vulnerable moment, and someone happened to criticize you in an area where you have some insecurity? Though it may be true, don't you already know it, and really don't want to hear it at that moment?
Coming a bit late to the party, but one aspect of this is that there is already massive usage of cannabis in Germany, and in many areas quite a significant amount is decriminalized.

In recent years, however, crappy cannabis adulterated with synthetic cannaboids have become pervasive--they're inferior to the real stuff, addictive, and deeply connected with organized crime. Legalization will likely result in a safer supply for everyone, while also removing a huge money source for criminals.

Semi-related whining: I don't want the car to run apps. I don't want it OTA-upgradable. I want the car to have all of its own instruments and essential functions tucked away, and to offer an interface for it to

* send demands (mix down the music to zero and bring up my channel, there's an emergency)

* respond to information requests (Battery is at 55.31%, no systems have errors, headlights are on, speed is 45.8mph)

* and let my computer request non-critical things (please turn on the seat heaters, set the HVAC to recirculate medium, set thermostat to 68F)

Keep the security and safety things far away from the shiny user interface things, and let me replace the user interface things every few years instead of replacing the car.
> This would encourage your loved ones to keep you alive until you reach that age.

If your loved ones love you in return that's an incentive for them to keep you alive as long as you are deriving value from life.

If they don't, you might not want them to have an incentive to keep you alive to arbitrary age.

Can’t point to the source, but I think we all know that there is some sort of regulation requiring us to pay providers for services when those providers refuse to provide pricing information at before or during the time of service.
How is this an improvement over trains, trams, and light rail?

I think reusing car-based infrastructure with busses is an important step in transitioning away from car dependency, but roads are not permanent. In many parts of America, trams and railways were torn down to be replaced by roads. The roads can be replaced too, if it is clear that alternatives are better.

Plus, roads are destroyed incredibly quickly by cars and busses, so they will need replacing eventually, whereas rail is much more resilient.

It seems to me that rail-based transport is much more effective in dense urban environments.

Your oven is miraculous compared to every fixed oven I've ever had access to.

At any rate we're talking about toast here and an oven broiler only has one setting (usually): all the way on, so you're using as much energy as it takes to brown a steak just to crisp up a bit of bread.

It's not really about heating up the air, anyways, toasters and broilers mostly directly heat things. A toaster (or toaster oven or countertop convection) just has the elements closer so can direct more energy into the bread and less to.. everything else.
Everyone involved here has a good incentive to find out what was wrong with the food.

Yet nobody seems to have done so. There are 28,000 jars of it, and only one needs to be found to test. Is it that hard to figure out what in food causes a violent reaction?
Correction: it would replace multiple competing staffs (“bureaucracies”) of private insurers with the ability to take losses and go out of business with one bureaucracy with a chain of command spearheaded by the POTUS backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. My example was not an invitation to discuss the merits and demerits of single payer healthcare in a different topic, but to point out that for every function you invest the Federal government with, you get a corresponding bureaucracy ultimately subordinate to basically one guy. Doesn’t matter what the function is, you’re expanding his staff.
Yawn.

Here in Canada a strange thing happened - all these weed shops openedu, wanting to see at $10/gram. They got some business but had rent, taxes, government added taxes etc - half went broke because the guvmint treated it like a cash cow and though the guvmint would replace the dealers and make big $$.
about half people went to them, maybe less. The police stopped bothering with them. Huge grow ops started up on aboriginal lands and sell in aboriginal shops on their lands and many people went there as it was cheaper than the shops.
Police had zero interest in stopping hundreds of people as they travelled as most cars held3-4 people buying 25 grams(legal max) = waste of time. dealers walked over land and bought carts full for $800-1000/pound (453 grams) just because the guvmint wanted a cash cow to milk - not seeing that fields full could be grown in the summer for $5-10 a pound.

I can't recall any real backlash about any of the other games though.

That's the issue. Just about every game looks different, but not until this one do people "care".

It literally has no real basis to base its look off of.

> however, it should be obvious to anyone that the art style is both a departure from the original games, and their later sequels, and that it's such a stylistic departure that backlash should be fully expected.

This here seems to be you talking about consistency. Saying that it doesn't match the older games. Well, which older game should it match? If anything, it not matching any of the older games would be more stylistically appropriate than matching any of the older games.
