Two points:

One, this barely touches on the opposite side, when doctors give up too soon. When my mom had a brain tumor that had a high 5-year mortality rate but still had plenty of time left, a number of doctors we encountered either gave us premature "time to give up" speeches or were just lackadaisical about treating her symptoms. (None of those doctors were her neuro-oncologist, and my mom was a fighter who would not give up on the time left to her.) Had I and my brother not been there to push back on the medical system, we would have had months less with her. Should we minimize the suffering when there's no hope? Definitely. But not until that point unless the patient clearly chooses otherwise.

Two, I think the much bigger problem on either side is not doctor attitudes, but cultural attitudes towards death. It's something a lot of Americans avoid talking about, avoid thinking about. My mom was a fighter, but because she had run an adult foster care home with an elderly wing, she was was also a realist. She had a DNR on file and we had all talked about what we wanted years before she got sick. We knew she wanted as much of a good life as possible, and then she wanted to be done. So when the neuro-oncologist said we couldn't do any more, that was it, and we transitioned to hospice. But from what I understand, that's not the common reaction. I hear stories from friends of dying patients dragged through all sorts of unwanted treatment because the adult children of the patient are unable to deal with their emotions enough to honor the patient's wishes, tend to the patient's needs.

So I ask everybody to talk with your family about what you each want. One framework I've used is Five Wishes, which has forms you fill out and material to help a family discussion along:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Wishes

https://www.fivewishes.org/for-myself/

This is the most important thing you can do to minimize overtreatment: talk about it with family and get something written down. That way when the doctor turns to you and asks what the patient wants, you can answer with confidence.
People don't usually set the noindex tag. The tag was deliberatly set by someone. It's not a cryptic tag where one has to wonder "does this flag turn A on or A off". It's not confusing and clearly says "noindex". In the world where SEO is king, tools don't default to "noindex".

Especially when later on the candidate was checking for SEO.
I’m grateful for recent open release of models like whisper and stable diffusion which you can run on your own hardware.

However the core also seems to be training data. SEER from meta/Facebook is a billion images, far bigger than imagenet. OpenAI doesn’t release its training dataset for whisper.

It seems we are in a place where AI will most likely increase the digital divide and wealth gap because the big datasets + large model training ability will only be accessible to mega corps.
Top of the line x86 decoders are 6 wide (with limits of 64 aligned bytes on input, making average throughout around 4 per cycle as admitted by intel in their docs). Aarch64 can be decoded as wide as you wish thanks to fixed size. No solution to this other than a fixed length encoding.
The whole conspiracy thing is very worrying, not just in the US or about Elections but about everything. 5G causes cancer, Bill Gates is chipping everyone, the Rothschilds/Soros's/Whoever runs the whole world. There will be some pieces of truth but mostly this is about confirmation bias.

"I believe Bill Gates is chipping everyone", therefore an article that ties him to an electronics company "proves" its true and his links to "Coronavirus" companies is the icing on the cake.

The worrying thing is that this is taking over so many areas including intelligent normal people. I guess the only way to make it go away is for our Leaders and Betters to have slightly better ability and morals so there is less reason to accuse them of corruption. Apologies to Bill Gates who is surely intelligent - not sure how he became the poster boy for Conspiracies.
I have the same model (gen 1 at least) and don't have any such issues, for what it's worth.
With the ubiquity and generally reasonable pricing of in-flight WiFi, I'm actually a bit surprised that you don't see more people jabbering away. I've never bought WiFi myself and I suspect there are quality issues and I assume some ports may be blocked, but I haven't seen many people obviously on active calls at all.
because those are the only 2 places in the world people could possibly be
I think it's a bit more complicated than that, because in most socialized medicine systems, the suppliers are not owned by the government, so there's a lot of private industry billing (pharmaceuticals, medical devices and implants. etc.)

It's comparable to the USA's freeway system - yes the roads are publicly owned, but road repairs and material procurement are contracted out to private industry, and there's always the possibility of things like a government employee getting a kickback from a construction company for signing off on unnecessary work requests, etc.

Good point. I read "put on trial" for hurting democracy as a criminal trial. A civil suit filed by Google and ending up in court-- sure, I could see that.
Liu cixin would be proud. And horrified.
A mere quick glance at their chart belies the description — the [Not In Labor Force] line is definitely flattening off in the last decade or so.

While the point that immigrants are working hard is very valid, the main body of the article seems like a lot of hand-waving and fluff.

It also completely ignores the employer side of the equation, or the fact that labor now gets a lower share of GDP (vs capital) than at any time in the last 8 decades. With employers systematically designing their systems and pay to extract more labor for lower cost than ever before (increasing "productivity" — this quarter), no wonder that anyone who can stay home, is staying home. Yet the article completely ignores that.

It also ignores the fact that the US Minimum Wage was initially designed and set, into the early 1970s so that a single minimum wage employee working a full-time job could keep a family of four above the poverty line. Since then, the minimum wage has nearly flatlined. It should be into the $23hour range, or $46K/year to meet that standard (actually implementing regional levels would probably be best, but that's another story). Again, the fact that these basic worker protection failures are completely ignored by the article is damning.

It is basically a bogus opinion piece masquerating as fact-based reasoning.
that only works if the writer and reader have shared assumption

It's the Federal Reserve writing for the sort of people who read studies published by the Federal Reserve. That's a pretty specific audience, and one very likely with a large pool of shared assumptions. This wasn't written for HN randos.
It is more of an analysis of probabilities. I suspect that this was the case but of course I don't know. What probability would you assign to Bezos being seen as the leader/setting the tone in this situation?
I think this is a similar scenario that emerges in many aspects of life, and in nearly every aspect of life. It's also formalized in game theory.

In game theory there are exploitative solutions that focus on achieving the most optimal best case scenario (you picked rock 100 times in a row, I'm going to pick paper), and game theory optimal solutions that focus on achieving the least awful worst case scenario (you picked rock 100 times in a row, but I'm still going to pick my choice randomly because otherwise you could predict I'm going to pick paper, suddenly swap to scissors, and exploit me). When things are going optimally, the exploitative solution will dramatically outperform the optimal. But when things are going poorly, the optimal will even more dramatically outperform the exploitative.

So do you pick the scenario that will never do especially well but will also never do especially poorly? Or do you pick the one that can have extremes of achievement, but also extremes of failure? I suspect framed this way, few would ever pick the latter. But we humans have this annoying ability to convince ourselves of things like the failure scenario being impossible - even though history has endlessly repeated that not only is it possible, but it will happen, and generally far more quickly than one could ever imagine.

I'm surprised how little this issue has come up in the past, given how much many here are focused on privacy. This issue can be seen even today on YouTube. When I browse videos, I usually do so in FF's private browsing mode, primarily to prevent the recommendations from spilling over into my main account. However, videos marked as age-restricted cannot be viewed without logging into a Google account. Even yt-dlp couldn't download age-restricted videos without credentials when I last attempted it! (I hear there has since been a patch to fix this, but I have not tested it to see if it still works.) And apparently, EU users are sometimes required to upload their government ID to YouTube to prove they are over 18.

I get that privacy issues can be most sensitive to those under 18, but it's important to recognize that enforcing far stronger privacy restrictions alongside strong age-verification expectations (no more "are you 18+? yes/no" or "what is your birthday?" questions) can only come at the expense of anonymous browsing.
Well how is it 'the solution' like you stated if it can still go out of control because of 'unrelated factors'.
Blaming just the patients and families is disingenuous. The incentives on the hospital, and doctor to overtreat are large and are an equally contributing factor.
Interesting. How can you manage browsing without a mouse. Looks like quite a hassle.
...and stay there.
If they're only in the major cities because they have to be to get their careers going and would prefer to be somewhere else, $2-300k would buy them a complete, well-renovated house large enough for a family in cash in much of the central part of the country.

Having to move to a city isn't the same as having to stay in a city.
Do you feel that somehow politicians wouldn’t be influenced by the corporate landlords to a beneficial direction to the landlord over the tenant?

Or that wealth is better held by corporations than by individuals?
Each of the above is true and verifiable by the links posted.

> Get something written down.

Important advice.

I think it’s also true the other way. Write down what doctors say. Far too often what doctors said and what people heard or can recall do not line up. That’s just human nature.

A physician friend of mine prints out what she is going to say in serious moments and then hands it over after the conversation. She said this was because of how many times, “in cases like this, the x year survival is y percent” being later repeated as “doctor said Z only had x years to live.”

I need to stop commenting on this board.
With all respect to Shatner (first canadian space tourist iirc) I dont take much from these narratives. A rich/famous/connected person does a thing that we all want to do but cannot afford, something that requires insane amounts of energy/pollution. Then they turn around and talk of the profound experience and how it has made them a better person. Big deal. The pubic good is limited to a few interviews and an article in variety. Next time go meditate at a monestary. These adventures require so much energy that they will only ever be availible to an elite nanopercent of the population. Enough with famous millionaires. They should have sent a poet.

Why would they care about demonstrations? It is much easier to allow them and then ignore them than it would be if someone admitted to sabotaging a railway line to reduce numbers.

But we don't know what they have unless they announce it.

My guess is that they kept an ARM Zen frontend working, internally. And they probably have a RISC-V frontend now, alongside many other projects. They are large enough to do so.

When they perceive they can launch a successful product, they do so. Otherwise, we never know of these efforts.
Right. I said that in my comment when referencing incompetence. The part I am calling into question is the claim that the politician did it.

Exactly, and the reason these people stand by unapologetically to their false accusations and lies and hypocrisy is because the real message they are sending to their “tribe” is that they are willing to screw others, no matter the truth, for the benefit of their tribe. And as long as you can believe you are part of their tribe, and hence you might receive their support, you might be willing to forego caring about the truth or what is right.

Lots of people here are willing to let others die so as to not "overburden" the medical system - financially or otherwise.
I for one would like be overtreated to the max, because then what's the point of having EOL care if not to prevent death.

My guess would be that it's sabotage from the left wing since there's a right wing protest today in Berlin that is done mostly by non-Berliners. (There's also a lot of busses bringing in protesters.)

> the suppliers are not owned by the government

Correct..but pretty much any "medical supplier" requires a doctors note to provide services.

"blood testing labs" for example might want to blood test everyone in the country for everything imaginable..Without a doctors note they are prohibited from taking blood.

Doctors (effectively government employees) do control the gates.

Kickback schemes are possible (and have been uncovered), but this is a pretty big tangent to "over-treating those near death" isnt it?

Most "medial fraud" in canada tends to focus on "services charged but not rendered".

There is no evidence Russia has a large inventory of useful standoff munitions.

For example, Russian has been making extensive usage of s-300 surface to air missiles in ground to ground mode.

While this capability was considered during design, it's an act of desperation. SAM's are mostly propellent with a small warhead. (The point is to catch up quickly with a delicate fast moving object and frag it to shreds).

The s-300 is pretty inaccurate in this role and is mostly useful as a terror weapon. (They are fast and hard to counter).

Additional, they have been repurposing air to ship missiles (kh-22's), which are notoriously inaccurate. The high causality shopping mall incident in late June was a kh-22 likely attempting to hit a nearby factory.

All said, there is no evidence that Russia has any surplus of tactical weapons. Estimates that up to 70% of dedicated LACM weapons have been expended already.

Alternatively perhaps you mean tube artillery and unguided MLRS systems like the Grads?

That is precisely how they battle. Artillery grinds down everything into rubble and infantry moves forward a few kilometers - rinse and repeat.

Ukraine has blunted this tactic by pressuring artillery supply with HIMARS, partisans and drone delivered munitions.

Now the big question is if Russia will use a tactical nuke as an area denial weapon. Russian troops have limited capacity to operate in a radiological environment, and NATO repercussions would be monumental.

Personally I believe a tactical nuke would bring us to the edge of a thermonuclear war.

Here's how I see it playing out;

Russia drops a small dial-a-yield outside Kherson to deter Ukrainian advance.

NATO attacks the Black Sea fleet and starts to provide air cover over Western Ukraine. Poland moves "peace keeping" troops along the Russian/Ukraine border.

Rus/NATO incidents start to occur, triggering an escalatory spiral.

Once you've used a tactical nuke once, it's easier the second and third and fourth time.

NATO article 5 is invoked after food supplies are poisoned from fallout.

Russia's conventional forces are totally depleted, leaving only the strategic air force and nuclear triad left as a response to NATO.

Putin deep inside his nuclear bunker, isolated from outside contact, makes a decision.

I don't know why you're being downvoted - you're just being a realist.
In my view, intelligibility is the basis on which we should judge a philosophical theory. Then we can rank theories by which are more intelligible or render more phenomena more intelligible. A theory that makes some phenomena transparent, i.e. conceptually reducible to other phenomena, is more intelligible than a competing theory. Progress in philosophy is the process by which opaque phenomena are rendered transparent. Dogma hinders this kind of progress.

Firefox with arkenfox user.js. Librefox doesn't seem to be maintained, and it has no purpose other than pre-packaging what you can do yourself better in a second by enabling privacy.resistFingerprinting.

Brave doesn't give a hoot about privacy, they just pretend to hear your voice, because privacy and cryptocurrencies are what makes them different from their competitors, otherwise they are an ad company like any other. They are totally not paying for their positive media coverage.

Neither browser, or any browser is trully private, they leak like the sieve, but the best approach to privacy is not to stop the leaks, but to leak fake data, which is something only the Tor browser and Firefox with privacy.resistFingerprinting tries to do.

First party isolation is bullshit, it breaks many sites and it makes your browser stand out. I recommend containers.

I interviewed at Panasonic years ago due to their in car info systems using QNX.

Also, Coca-Cola’s kiosks for drink selection uses QNX.

In both cases, they’re using Qt instead of Photon.

Photon was just about perfect as a GUI architecture IMHO, although I don’t know if it could have handled an alpha compositing as well as it handled blit stuff across a network connection.
Since you mentioned privacy, Brave doesn't have first party isolation and Total Cookie Protection. Doesn't that bother you?
