This is partly true. In no small part because they tend to control the bulk (or all) of our patient supply. In part because people have gotten the idea that insurance equals care, and vice versa - so people tend not to think about high-impact moments where it pays to go cash.

For instance, I specialize in neuromodulation for highly-treatment-resistance psychiatry. I'm very good at what I do; my mentor is (IMO) better, and one of the absolute best in the country. A single consultation session with him is around $200 if he happens not to take your insurance. If you have a highly-treatment resistant condition, and are about to embark on a course of neuromodulation, it absolutely behooves you to go to him for a single session consultation to plan out your intervention before going to some local mediocre whatever to actually slap the equipment on your head and carry out the intervention.

For instance, people have incredibly debilitating autoimmune conditions. Rheumatic conditions are notable for their polymorphic presentations. It absolutely behooves you to go to an absolute top rheumatologist for one to three visits to confirm your diagnosis before going on a lifelong adventure of immune modulating drugs.

But folks hear "this guy doesn't take my insurance" and treat it as equivalent to "I can't get care there," even when they can afford it. I have a chronic condition, it's terrible, and my absolute world-famous specialist costs me about $250/yr - a small fraction of my monthly insurance premium. Less than my monthly prescription costs. Yet people will go to whatever specialist happens to be near them, while bearing all those other costs, and not investing in the linchpin.
Have my boss' boss' boss' boss summarize what his teams are up to. Don't call everybody in and glare at them in a small room over the course of weeks like in "Office Space"

I have enough perspective, savings, and self confidence that there's nothing a little prick manager can do at a job that will ruin MY life. But there are a lot of honest, hard-working people out there who just want to do their best and make enough to keep on top of their $7500 mortgage payments and don't need someone putting a boot on their neck
Good arguments; greenhouse emissions are mentioned; but also remember the extensive resources required to build more hardware and the large volumes of waste generated when it is decommisioned; and the average service life is becoming shorter and shorter; it's all just insanity.

> How much lower do you want it to go?

Well ideally, 0.

> Changing the method of taxation doesn't inherently do that.

Yes it does.

Different taxes have variable economic effects -- a tax on cigarettes is different from a tax on yachts is different from a tax on rent. Some taxes are inherently inefficient and put downward pressure on GDP. Others, like LVT, incentivize economic efficiency and achieve better equality by preventing exploitative rent seeking.
Only if you don't count the knock-on effects of US policy, which is absurd.
Because they didn't actually do studies to confirm what safe levels of EM fields are rather than just allow doctors to speculate and set unsupported EMF regulations?

Facebook workers told to give '200%' yet warned to prepare for layoffs
We don't know what the circumstances were around the actions this individual did or did not do. The justice system can be as corrupt as any other government institution, where wrongful verdicts and convictions are made all the time. It takes years of costly uphill legal battles to dig yourself out of that hole, and many don't make it.

That said, even if this person did commit the crime, I'm siding with GP here: what is the purpose of keeping a human being behind bars for life, if there's no chance they would eventually reintegrate into society? Solitary confinement in particular seems like a medieval torture device designed to drive people mad, rather than rehabilitate them.

If the State wants to remove someone from society altogether, the death penalty is a more humane way of doing that. A life sentence makes no sense in this system, unless someone is benefiting from keeping prisoners alive. In many ways, this is just a modern form of slavery.

Judging by this person's writing, they've somehow managed to rehabilitate themselves despite of their cruel living conditions, which is nothing short of remarkable.
That's false, but why let the truth get in the way?

The limitation on doctors in the U.S. is based on the available funding for residents. The government supplies the money because private institutions largely are unwilling to do so.
And the worst thing is that those who have been found as state actors to be murdering innocents are not punished. They are not treated like this or simply executed. And neither is the people who voted for them after this crime or part took to them with political funding.

Really makes one wonder what would be just and working society.
Is Asia just a made up continent? How do you expect the child of an uneducated subsidence farmer to become a programmer when they live in a poor country, and you're blocking means of external investment? What people don't seem to realize is that it's impossible to transition a place with incredibly shitty living conditions to good living conditions, without reaching a midpoint of moderately shitty living conditions.
Or it's a sign that they want you to be able to eat there on your lunch break. I've certainly written off restaurants that made me wait a long time to pay.
Government regulations have been dragging back price of care for ages. Multi-month waiting lines to see a doctor are largely about price ceilings. If docs could price up, their waiting lists would go down commensurately.

Constrained physician supply doesn't do much when physicians can't raise prices in the face of greater demand.

People in these discussions always make things about physician costs. The majority of expenditures in the healthcare system are on drugs and equipment, followed by procedures - physician visits make up a tiny fraction of that.

"`There were several factors which influenced the selection of the F-14. Iran’s northern border with the USSR, and those to the west and southwest with Iraq, are guarded by high mountains. Our Air Defence Command was building radar outposts on many peaks for better radar coverage, but we could never improve the situation with ground-based radar alone. There were too many “blind spots” in this coverage, and the big white domes of our radar stations were also excellent targets, visible from up to 50 miles away. Intelligence information obtained at the time verified that the Soviets would indeed strike them first.

`In the south, along the Persian Gulf coast, we had only US-supplied radars, which did not work properly in hot and humid conditions — that is, for ten months of the year — and otherwise also had poor performance, despite several upgrades. All the radars supplied to the IIAF as part of Military Assistance Program projects were far from being top-of-the-line. The Americans gave us what they wanted to give, not what we needed.

For two years — 1973-74 — a group of Iranian radar instructor including Col Iradj Ghaffari (the first Iranian tactical radar instructor) studied coverage problems associated with “Radar Sites Reinforcement,” but could not find a solution. Eventually, it was decided that a “flying radar” would eliminate the terrain masking problems. That flying radar would also have to be able to defend itself. It is beyond doubt that during the war with Iraq, the F-14 proved that it was exactly what we needed.

`Before these studies were conducted within IIAF circles — at the time we were still flying F-5A/B Freedom Fighters and F-4D Phantom IIs we started looking for a top-of-the-line fighter interceptor. The result of these studies, directed by Gen Mehdi Rouhani, was a requirement for F-14s and AEW aircraft. US briefings on F-14s and F-15s undoubtedly helped us to formulate our requirement. We created the plan to purchase eight AEW aircraft — initially four, followed by four more — and the F-14s. Eventually, four orders were issued — the first for 30 Tomcats and the second for 50. There was one for Boeing E-3 Sentry AWACS, followed by one for two communication satellites, which would enable all these aircraft to communicate securely with each other.’

"Unaware that the Iranians had already identified the F-14 as the right aircraft for their unique operational requirements, the US Navy and Grumman started an intensive campaign to ‘sell the Shah’, which included sending the F-14 Program Coordinator of the Chief of Naval Operations, Capt Mitchell, to Tehran twice to brief the Shah and IIAF commanders on the Tomcat’s capabilities. This culminated in a spectacular fly-off in July 1973 at Andrews AFB, Maryland, for the Shah and a group of high-ranking Iranian officers."

Tell HN: Spectrum is blocking TCP/UDP 5060 at my home
For several years, I've run 3 VOIP phones from my house. About a week ago they stopped working. SIP REGISTER started failing.

Turns out Spectrum now blocks TCP/UDP port 5060. My workaround is to use a VPN. After that, everything is fine.

This reddit thread https://www.reddit.com/r/networking/comments/t8nulq/spectrum_is_rate_limiting_voipsip_traffic_port/ suggests Spectrum was rate limiting 5060 on 300mbps plans, but not on the 100mbps plans.

I have the 100mbps plan, and it is definitely affected now.

So if you are in SoCal, using Spectrum, and your VOIP phones suddenly stopped working in the last week or so, maybe this will help you.

Reading between the lines, I don’t see anything in this message that implies this is a hostile takeover. It seems like Lunny envisions the Gitea Ltd as an additional assets of the Gitea community. That is, there’s no mention of what is happening to the voting system. It’s possible the current democratic voting system will remain in place, and that if Lunny is voted out, he will voluntary transfer ownership of the LTD to the new owner. The comments are acting like that is not the case but I don’t see anything indicating that.

The communication around this issue is very poor. I’m choosing to apply Occam’s Razor here and assume that Lunny doesn’t understand how other open source projects are run or what the differences between a non-profit and an LTD are (or what a DOA is). Rather than assume that this is an attempt to turn Gitea into a corporate-owned, profit-generating, machine.
I've started to think of the "True Crime" genre as "Male Horror." Most of its audience is female, and the stories are largely about normal women who walk into normal situations and end up tortured, raped, and murdered; extra points if it was by a man no one would suspect. There's also Male Horror directed at an audience of men, but it's usually disguised as a prison story, or even more directly class-coded like Deliverance.

There's just this male sort of terror where a man doesn't want to hurt you for any practical reason, they're not trying to steal from you or stop you, they're doing it simply because physically torturing you directly arouses them. Men only feel that terror and that fear in prison, boarding school, the military, sports teams, surrounded by ethnic minorities or ethnic majorities, etc., whereas women simply need to evaluate every place that they enter that also contains a man, even if they know that man very well.

Renting a place built a few years ago in NC. It has only one conduit, it runs from the networking panel to the outside where fiber comes in. Unfortunately there was nothing left in the empty conduit to pull things through with and the installer didn't want to spend half a day with a fishtape, so it didn't even get used. Companies really couldn't care less about doing things right w/ regards to people's homes unless there is some direct monetary consequence for them.

Correct! 74HCs for everything, which are both easy to get and forgiving to use. The first build has 4 PCBs ( ALU, Register file, instruction logic, and memory/LEDs/switches). Each PCB is 12-16 74HCx ICs.

I then did a second design of the same thing using Atmel 1504/1508 CPLDs, and that compressed the design to 2 PCBs - One for the CPU itself and a second for system ram, switches, LEDs, etc. That first board had 5 1504s and 1 1508, although it could have been done in a tad less if I used another 1508. The biggest consumer was the register file since it was 16x 8-bit register, which consumes 128 flip flops.
Yeah, the best way to stop a car isn't to run it into a brick wall.

> It’s quite hard to feed the poor by throwing out industrialization and replacing it with lots of labor. This makes food much more expensive.

This is untrue. Small farms produce the majority of the world's food, despite increasing industrialization. More importantly, small farms are more efficient than big agro.

> In the European Union, 20 countries register a higher rate of production per hectare on small farms than on large farms. In nine EU countries, productivity of small farms is at least twice that of big farms.55 In the seven countries where large farms have higher productivity, it is only slightly higher than that of small farms.56 This tendency is confirmed by numerous studies in other countries and regions, all of them showing higher productivity on small farms.

> Our data indicate, for example, that if all farms in Kenya had the current productivity of the country's small farms, Kenya's agricultural production would double. In Central America and Ukraine, it would almost triple. In Hungary and Tajikistan it would increase by 30%. In Russia, it would be increased by a factor of six.57

> Although big farms generally consume more resources, control the best lands, receive most of the irrigation water and infrastructure, get most of the financial credit and technical assistance, and are the ones for whom most modern inputs are designed, they have lower technical efficiency and therefore lower overall productivity. Much of this has to do with low levels of employment used on big farms in order to maximise return on investment.58

We don't need economic upheaval, just stop regulatory capture and stop giving handouts to big agro.

One of the bad trends in recent motherboards is minimal number of PCIe slots, which are very clearly focused on GPUs only. So basically there is no room for any extra devices. Their idea seems to be pushing everyone to USB 4 for use cases like that (which supposedly should be able to route even PCIe?).

Agree. I'm lived in PA most of my life and it's a cold, cold place. It's some kind of micro tribalism and has gotten worse over the years. When I was a kid, the adults in my neighborhood at least knew and talked to each other sometimes, now as an adult in a similar suburban neighborhood no one talks to me and as far as I can tell they don't talk to each other either.

I complain about it to my brother who lives in NJ and he says it's worse there. So it's a regional thing.

I lived out west for 10 years and people were much friendlier, even in SF and Seattle. I have heard of the "Seattle freeze" but NE US is far worse in my experience

Well, not shocked, that’s a third of your day and over half of your daylight hours spent (assuming a typical full time job), I better not feel like I’m constantly wasting it.
It takes about 200kWh per tonne of oxygen separated. If it’s mostly electricity price (therefore total price is at most twice the electricity price), and your industrial electricity is 7¢/kWh (common in the US), then you’re saying the total price of liquid oxygen is no more than about $30/tonne, even lower than my $100/tonne.
Claiming math as our natural language feels like a heck of a stretch. Unless you mean math as something other than the human construct we use to communicate it.

It's more important to remember that the perpetrators are almost all men, whether the violence is from a stranger or someone well known, or whether the victims are male, female, or even one's self - suicide is far higher and more effective among men.
Well they don't need to be a saint, as none of us are. They just need to learn how to function in society. I think rehabilitation is possible for the majority. Norway seems to show this in that they do not instate capital punishment or life imprisonment, yet have extremely low recidivism rates (especially compared to the US).
In the US, generally, the transformer sizing and the line from the pole to your house is the utility company’s problem. When an electrician upgrades a service from 100a to 200a, basically they just ensure the parts between the service line and panel is capable of 200a. —- just the home’s wiring.

Often, those transformers on the pole have some wiggle room in what they can deliver, and just because you upgraded from 100a to 200a service doesn’t mean you’ll actually see a real world change in usage. You usually don’t. Utility companies can over provision that capacity because not everyone on a street switches on their microwave at the same time, etc.
As someone who has known several people among my family and friends who have been murdered, I don't think the wishes of the victim's family should be the overriding concern. Many victims desire righteous retribution, but that doesn't mean we have to fulfill that wish. At some point, you're just outsourcing vendetta violence to the state, to give it a veneer of civility.

The point of the justice system should primarily be public safety. Accountability is important, too, but there are many more ways to achieve that than inflicting damage on perpetrators.
