> patient outcome data is not required to determine which medicines are most profitable

This is blatantly false. Pharma spends tons of money to buy this data for their armies of researchers in order to determine outcomes. There's an entire very lucrative industry (that I work in) which exists to source this data from hospitals and refine it for researchers.

If the point of documentation was CYA, then you wouldn't need complicated systems like Epic to standardize the documentation and make it available for electronic processing (you would just have some paralegal pour over the records of the individual patient).
So, living causes death?
I work in it too. And the US govt is not approving or even looking to approve new EHRs. The bureaucratic hurdles (and regulatory capture) are such that it is no longer feasible in this country. I would write one in a heartbeat if it wasn't a doomed venture.
A note on photos: If you use Google Photos you can have photos with a specific person automatically added to a shared album. So my wife can always see every photo I take of her or our daughter. I just did it for day to day convenience but it'll also come in handy if I pass since she'll have all the most important photos already.

Though after seeing this thread I went ahead and just gave her access to my photos once I go inactive using this service: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3036546?hl=en
Did Twitter already file a WARN act notice about the layoffs? If not, how can it be justified under that?
That’s interesting. And I’m sure they have some very knowledgable people working for them who may(/will) know things I don’t.

That being said, it wouldn’t surprise me if they were pushing 17G of UDP on 100G transports. Probably with some pretty high-end/expensive network hardware with huge buffers. I.e you can do it if you’ve got the money, but I bet TCP would still have better raw throughput.
Nah, if I understand the guy correctly it's not about the low level stuff. That's hardly going to change any time soon.

But in terms of a logic development perspective I guess it may be clearer to set up something like instead of your average while(true) if (boolean) callback_function() put an async on(boolean,callback_function) or something and let the language deal with the low level implementation of it. Not sure why it would be "dangerous" to use the explicit definition, but we can maybe do a bit better in terms of clarity by removing the optimizable boilerplate?
Many things are published without ISBNs or have ISBNs and aren't traditional books. Here in China, to get an ISBN for a book you have to have a government approval process. So many publishers will print stuff on the proverbial sly, often at night, without assigning an ISBN. There's also book-like printed matter (pamphlets, maps, posters, puzzles, 3D/fold-out dioramas, etc.) which often lack an ISBN. So equating ISBN with book is not correct. Then there's all the stuff published pre-ISBN...
Mr. Agrawal told employees that their stock options would convert to cash when the deal with Mr. Musk closes, which he estimated would take between three and six months. Employees would receive their same benefits packages for a year after the deal was finalized and there were no immediate plans for layoffs, he added.

So, really those two long sentences should be rewritten:

Mr Agrawal, as an officer of the company, engaged in rampant speculation, perhaps to reassure employees (or himself) that their jobs were safe for three months to a year, even though Mr. Musk had repeatedly indicated otherwise.

I don't buy that. Human society ALWAYS has a few malcontents who simply want to do something "because it's there."

I find it hard to believe that any evolutionarily successful race wouldn't also have some individuals with the same kind of drive.
>I very highly doubt the healthcare industry would tolerate doctors wasting ~37.5% of their time (75% of paperwork time is wasteful * 50% of doctors' time spent on paperwork = minimum 37.5% of doctors time wasted). Doctors are expensive, so recouping anywhere near 40% of their time would be a priority.

Doctors are expensive, but malpractice lawsuits are more expensive. Documentation is extremely important for lawsuits. If you get sued because a patient you saw last year later died and they're alleging improper health care(just to use a random example), it's highly dependent on having meticulously documented notes that document every single examination finding and treatment administered. Your memory isn't going to be accurate, and the prosecutor is going to be looking for any errors in documentation they can use.

The timing on this for me is really interesting, as last week I got an ISBN issues for a book I'm working on (9781633438002 if anyone is curious!).

This will be the first book I'm the author of, but the second book I've worked on (the first I was the technical editor for). Neither of these books are out yet (I start writing tomorrow) but they both have ISBNs issued. Even if I never publish the book that ISBN is locked in.

I imagine there's a lot of books that started out but never got finished. That said it looks like ISBNdb doesn't grab directly from the source, but instead crawls the internet looking for ISBN data to put into its database. I'll be interested to see at which stage my ISBN shows up in the database.

Ok, here's a question for you: back in ancient days, most women worked at home. Is taking care of your own children and your own household an economic activity as would count in GDP, for example? Is someone making a bowl of soup for their spouse different from someone making a bowl of soup at a homeless shelter?

"GDP measures the market value of the goods and services a nation produces. Unpaid work that people do for themselves and their families isn't traded in the marketplace, so there are no transactions to track. ... The lack of reliable data influenced the decision to leave household production out of GDP in the internationally accepted guidelines for national accounting." (https://www.bea.gov/help/faq/1297)

"Economic activity" that does not equate to "money changing hands" in some form, isn't an "economic activity" that counts for GDP or productivity, right?

In a conversation elsewhere recently I wrote:

> I think Markdown is popular because it’s a reasonably intuitive bridge between how we format handwritten documents (which is itself a blend of what makes sense on the page, and an approximation of ~spoken rhetoric) and HTML.

> In some cases (like the table example), what’s trivial on the page is painful with a keyboard. The technologies that shaped the old idioms didn’t have editability as a selection pressure. You can make a few edits inline, but at some point you’ll just have to rewrite the document.

> Much of the power and pain of code are byproducts of the machines forcing us to be explicit, but we didn’t have the foresight to spend centuries molding ourselves (human languages, pedagogy, rhetoric) around that kind of precision. Markdown meets us very close to where we are. The other path, I think, entails developing toolchains that do expect that precision and requiring the humans to do the changing.

I guess the split between the ease of a format for reading/writing is an extension of the difference between shorthand or even cursive and print when it comes to these affordances.
Oh I 100% agree but as a junior engineer you're not going to be able to change that, if you can change it you probably won't change it for the better, and using HN comments to fuel debates over long-standing patterns will just cause resentment. These are totally valid opinions to have once you find them out for yourself, IMO.
(I am not responding to the "25%" part as I did not use a percent myself, but am responding to the second, stricter, statement.)

Elsewhere in this thread, people are discussing a potentially-credible (but maybe you disagree) report on this from Gergely Orosz that does not paint this as "only the 3 senior executives".

> I talked with an engineering manager who was at Twitter for 5+ years, and got laid off on Sunday "for cause". They were too exhausted from working over the weekend to talk longer: they first need to sleep.
And how many times do I have to tell you I do not respond to that kind of rhetoric? I literally do not care about it. And that includes the high horse you're on now, doesn't work with comments like "Ok, I’m glad we agree that the Babylon Bee should stop complaining about how other people define these words." in the thread.

The point I am trying to make, which I made from the very beginning, is that tolerance to peoples' different opinions is a possible compromise position and it was the progressive position for a time. That's it, that's the point. You asked about what compromise position there would be vs shutting down debate from people who believe sex and gender are the same thing and binary, and that's an answer for you.

You may not understand what tolerance means and want to ask more about that, you may have other questions, you may dispute that was ever the progressive position, or you may argue that it is not a viable compromise, but not by asking some nonsensical rhetorical question about what I am saying, or what I agree with. If you are not capable of addressing the comment without snide digs at the messenger, just take it elsewhere. As I said, nobody else will ever read this so the performantive "I won" style of internet-arguing is pointless. And I'm not getting the impression by now that you are interested an answer to your question. So why even waste any more time here?

In python the inverse of the zip function is zip. You call it with with * to make list elements into function arguments. So a, b = zip(*c) is the inverse of c = zip(a, b).
It's technically possible that, without all of JXL, they could implement the lossless JPEG1 recompressor part (Brunsli) as a Content-Encoding like gzip, which could save about 20% on all the JPEG content out there with no additional loss: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=110969...

Compared to all of JPEG XL, Brunsli is less code, and the adoption story is more compelling: you need CDNs/infra to support recompression, but don't need the entire ecosystem to change formats. Content-Encodings can be dropped if there isn't uptake--there's precedent with SDCH--so you could roll it out without a flag once it's well tested and give sites a reason to add support, avoiding a chicken and egg problem.

I don't think AVIF makes it irrelevant because 1) JPEG-to-Brunsli is a far smaller step than JPEG-to-AVIF, since Brunsli is far faster to encode than AVIF (especially in software) and adds no loss beyond the initial JPEG encode, and 2) even if AVIF and HEIC are widely adopted, there's a mind-boggling quantity of JPEGs (exabytes?) that won't go away. Dropping JXL as an image format makes the Content-Encoding more relevant, since the lossless recompression it provides is no longer going to be available by other means.

A star expressing interest in 1109698 couldn't hurt the chances (though I suspect they're slim). They haven't closed the bug, so I don't think they've officially said they'll never do it, though the current language does assume third_party/jpegxl exists.

Just one guy's opinion, but to me it sounds like you're making intelligent, healthy, and entirely logical choices about your life and how you choose to spend your limited time.
Land should be a public commodity, nobody should be able to own the land, or the resources under them, or the lakes, or the sky, etc.

Buildings should be 'permitted' to be built on land, and people can own the land insomuch as they pay land value taxes for the utilization of the land. If it's a primary purpose and they don't get income from it, then the tax would be nil, if it's a second home they'd get 90% off as they're still a 'small fry', maybe 3-10 homes is 50% of full tax, and 10+ is the full tax.

LVT can then be funneled into housing programs, housing assistance funds, or straight up basic income.

Land value tax is the tax of the value the owner gets from the land, so if you're airbnb'ing you'd pay more if you make 10k per month in airbnb, then if you're renting long-term for 2k/month. If you still have a mortgage, you could maybe have some sort of deduction - but again that's only if you're owning 3 or less homes, anyone leveraging credit for 10+ homes should be able to afford mortgage out of their normal cash-flows, or they're over-levereged and need to dump a property or two.

My personal empirical findings after riding a bicycle and cars, and interpretation of the books to learn how to drive are :

- your speed engages you onto a distance. It's what books call 'total stopping distance' . But you can as well consider it's a full segment on which you already are. If something appears on it, you will have no way to avoid it. (hence the car being a trailer thing.) Just adjust your speed so that you can FULLY see everything on the total breaking distance. Consider where you will be at the end of the stopping distance, not now.

- you're not a pilot. Your moves will be limited to a single gesture in an emergency situation.
I learned that while doing bike. I found out I couldn't change lane AND brake AND ring my bell in emergency. At best I could just close my hand, so i had to adjust the bike and bell levers to be able to use both with a single gesture.

- always consider forces on you car. You're an engineer if you read this post. So learn about tensors, resulting forces, what what would happen when you speed up or brake at each time. (plot twist : if your brakes are mounted on the forward wheels and you're in any kind of turn, without ESP, your car will quickly go deeper into that turn.)

- if you have the bandwidth, do some live FMECA or HAZOP analysis about the traffic and other drivers, and anticipate what you would do in any kind of abnormal behaviour (eg if the car in front of you suddenly stops, if some car on a parking lot drives back toward you,...). and KEEP your DISTANCE !

Most drivers think with heuristics and rely on what other drivers would logically do. Guess what ? You're not driving their own car !
So yeah, some drivers won't see you and won't yield, or they will speed up to clear the intersection before you. And some will stop for no reason.
Don't drive with probabilities !

Consider that other cars want to harm you, and prepare to avoid them.
Automotive safety in ISO 26262 is about when to pick up a fault, what you do in case of a fault, and how you get out. Do the same ! Check in the mirrors before a junction, drive accordingly to threats of the cars behind. And know when to honk, break, or continue through a junction.

- At last, it's in every single book about driving. But it's still important to mention that you should assess the intent of other driver (and check if they even saw you), and you should allow them to get yours (so don't go 60mph, do a dirac on the brakes at a stop sign, and yell at oncoming cars for stopping while they had the priority, which wastes your time) (yup, I saw this more than once)
