Most of the time, just wait a few months for them to bill your "insurance" and for it to do its thing. The "due dates" on medical bills are basically meaningless.

Then, you need to know your general deductible and copayment schedule. The bill should show original charges (fraudulent), "adjustments" to those charges to make them line up with what your "insurance" company has negotiated to pay, and then payment by the "insurance" company. The part remaining that you need to pay should line up with your deductible.

If you've got a large deductible (common) and this is one of your first bills, then the "insurance" company won't have anything to pay, but there will still be an adjustment. If you think that is off, you can contact your "insurance" company to check if it matches their negotiated rates. In my experience, their customer service departments haven't been totally gutted yet.

Calling the provider's billing department is generally pointless unless/until you know exactly what you're talking about. Once, a phone rep (at a small place even) called me to nag me about a bill. I told them that their charge was above the Medicare limit for a service, and that it needed to be corrected before I could pay. In response, they insisted harder that I "owed it" and I "had to pay". I told them they were wrong, ended the conversation, and just waited. Lo and behold 4-5 months later they finally billed the "insurance" and sent the correct bill. I think they were just hoping I'd fall for their fraud so they could pocket a few extra bucks.

I'm certainly not an expert on this subject in particular, just generally experienced at cutting through the avalanches of paper that psychopaths try to bury us with.

Memoization is caching and a form of dynamic programming; thus caching is sometimes an important tool in dynamic programming.

But the fact that caching can be useful, even essential if your scenario demands such a clear-cut space-time tradeoff as in memoization, seems beside your point.
It's true that US production enabled the allies to win the war.

But it's a mistake to think that the country with more economic resources will inevitably win. There's too many counter examples for that to be the case. Some include:

Korean War

1967 Arab/Israeli war (Note that this was before mass support of Israel by the US)

Vietnam War

US/Taliban conflict

How do you bring 2TW of new nuclear generation online by 2030 to even play catch up with renewables when you need to extract from tens of millions of tonnes of ore and use hundreds of millions of litres of sulfuric acid for one reactor?

Do you have any tips or guides for creating good training programs? I find it challenging to think from a newcomer point of view and I significantly underestimate their challenges. Consequently I feel the learning curve I set for the team is either too steep or too shallow.

This happens to me irrespective of whether I went through the painful learning curve just recently or several years in the past. Once I am comfortable with a topic, I cannot approach it from a newcomers perspective.

So I think having a systematic approach to KT and training will help.
Though, firing medical staff based on vaccine status(that has little impact on transmission) while saying "we need all the medical staff we can get to ensure healthcare facilities don't collapse" doesn't square up. Here in Australia it's still the case that our hospital staff require the vax, while we're deeply unstaffed. It begs the question if their exclusion is of any net gain to society despite the ostensible risk they pose to patients, or if their ability to contribute to the healthcare workforce would outweigh that 'risk'.
Did you forget that they have expenses? The company is currently running at a net loss of over $3M/day.

international remunerations does not fall under 'breaking the law'

and there are plenty of failings of the security of various centralized information storage and processing systems as we have seen; they can become vulnerable to attacks by bad actors. some of those bad actors are trying to target specific people to harass, stalk, or otherwise harm them. you're not going to convince me that blanket surveillance of all financial activity is remotely optimal from a safety standpoint. and we have obvious human rights questions about mandated surveillance of financial activity. so, no, just because someone is in government does not mean i trust them not to abuse the immense power they've legislated for themselves. i can be doing absolutely nothing illegal and argue for the legitimacy of taxation and AML controls while still holding the above views about human rights, and for good reason.
Thanks for the response - I like the sentence about the web of responsibilities multiplying, and I think that's kinda what I'm getting at.

Maybe I'm weird, or doing it wrong, but in my life so far, I just don't see a real tie between romantic relationships and those familial/aging/life responsibilities. My partner and I each have our webs of responsibilities; the edge between us goes both ways, and I can't see how it being labelled "romantic partner" has any bearing on the rest of the web. Sometimes that edge makes dealing with a particular family situation easier, sometimes it doesn't. I don't think it's even possible to say whether there's any net effect, since of course there's more to it than this, and the experiment only gets run once.

There are two straightforward contributors to younger people being more interested in that sort of romantic fluidity: hormones and energy.
This post is interesting to me.

There's a number of subtle but vast pro-Elon takes subtly woven in, which I generally don't agree with.

But also, it loathes what I loath, which is that we're going to be hearing about this shit for a long long long long time, and the bias will be immensely one directionally negative. Which is almost certainly true. And, probably, for a long time, incredibly fantastically well deserved. But more so: this post questions the value of these proceedings. With that, I think there is truth... although it lends upon a pro-Fog-of-War notion, it leans upon apathy, which I think are weak responses, not good reasons for de-escallating one's popcorn munching tendencies.

I'd like to find a more general way to issue a call for moderation, or just a warning. The news is not bad, not slanted, but just attending to it regularly & dutifully makes us trapped in the cycle of news. There's drama here, a perpetual cliff hanger, and obvious damage & loss & redemption seems improbable (managing the world's most connected network is vastly more intricate & complicated than the much more directed & clear tasks of blasting shit into space). But most of this isn't really that important, doesn't really impact the long fate, even the dumb shit, and letting it take-over too much head-space is dangerous.

What I like about this post is that it talks about the long drama. This is going to be a semi-perpetual fixture of the news cycle. I disagree with a core point which is that the SnR will be low: I think a lot of the leaks & revelations & events will be very telling, very revealing.

But I'm not sure how significant or interesting or useful, as salacious & dirty as they are.

But there is enormous human resilience, & our ability to account for "will it matter" varies, and this is indeed a long game. This is the most inter-connected social network on the planet, by far. Short of real collapse or major fuckery, there's probably just not much that will in fact really change, for those on the network. For all the sound and thunder, storm and stress, it's enormously questionable whether there's any power here. The only noticable change most people can even imagine is ruin, is the end, and that's enormously telling, and also semi-unlikely. What has higher likeliness to change is what part of the vast capitalist system holds the reigns, who is "in charge," but this is a story of powerlessness. All this storm & stress is mostly, for the long forseeable, kind of pointless. This post, although pro-Elon, holds some hint of that perspective. How much attention we give, how readily we strap ourselves in for the ride, & bother with this long act of determining whether anything significant at all will happen, is the realest question. It's the ultimate social question. Does it matter?
I don't think most enterprise software users actually talk about the crappy software they use outside of work, or to other people in the same industry but at other companies.

For instance, at one job I had to use time-keeping software to track my hours, vacation time, etc. Like all employees, I was just a user of that software, but it had nothing to do with my normal job, it was just to track attendance and such.

Except for complaining, I never went around to other competing companies to talk to them about their time-keeping software. And my company's upper management sure as heck didn't bother to ask me if I liked the software, or if they should contract with a different vendor. Even if they did, it's not like I had a lot of experience with different, competing products. Plus, being enterprise software, it was heavily customized for that company.

The users of this software weren't providing free marketing to anyone. The marketing was probably done with backroom deals over expensive dinners and sports event tickets, I'm guessing.

This sounds about right. What I remember reading is that people pay Google Ads to serve their ads to people for around $10 CPM (cost per mille), so that is $10 per 1000 impressions.

And if Google Adsense pays you 50%, you end up with $5 RPM (revenue per mille) for your website.

I think this is similar for Youtube, except those are video ads, I remember seeing "this is how much I made from Youtube" and those were roughly $5-ish RPM and much higher for niche channels like finance etc.

(Assuming this is not already solved in a way I do not know...) Extending your example, would it be possible to have:

integrity="sha384-oqVuAfXRKap7fdgcCY5uykM6+R9GqQ8K/uxy9rx7HNQlGYl1kPzQho1wx4JwY8wC"
>link</a>

I think this would be useful to have the browser check the integrity of the linked content, rather than asking the user to do it. You could have the hashsum being performed as the file is being downloaded.

I think we would then want to the browser to indicate that the link actually has this integrity check, although it would be difficult to do in a way that cannot be easily spoofed. You could have something happen on hover over, but this won't work for touch devices.

The Co-CEO in question, Ryan Salam, launched the American Dream Federal Action PAC to support "forward-looking conservative leaders who understand the urgency of advancing smart policies that set America up for success"

He supported his girlfriend, Michelle Bond [2], who ran as a Republican (she lost) for New York's 1st Congressional District [3]. She served as Senior Council at the SEC during the Obama administration [4].

Local party officials accused Bond of being a "double agent backed by Dem money":

> Ryan Salame, the live-in boyfriend of Michelle Bond and co-CEO of FTX, has rallied his crypto-billions behind his girlfriend’s Congressional campaign. Some local voters have claimed this is a shameful attempt to “purchase” the election.

> As one of Bond’s most prominent financial supporters, Salame has become a familiar face on the campaign trail. He totes closely behind, posing in photographs while shaking the hands of Long Island Republicans and keeping his close association with Democrat mega-donor Samuel Bankman-Fried silent.

This has led some to allege "@rsalame7926’s political contributions were made to offset the massive Democrat donations from @SBF_FTX and to spark the illusion that there was a balance of political donations coming from @FTX_Official" [6]

countless remote teams have faced this problem. it's a trade-off, of course, but it's not an insurmountable challenge.

For a company, making a profit is the company saying across all of our divisions, on all the work that we do, we couldn't find a single initiative that we believe will return a higher risk adjusted ROI than paying down debt/putting money in a bank account/investing in index funds/returning money to shareholders.

When you have an order book 100,000 vehicles deep, the last thing on your mind should be making profits. There's obviously thousands of different projects at the company that are going to be returning wildly higher ROI than public markets and you should be spending your money on exploiting those opportunities.

Its worse because as I read it the base system isn't the config they are actually comparing. So based on personal experience with low end z/series machines in the past, basically the base price quoted ends up doubling by the time disk/software/etc all get added. Then what you have is a machine which is intended for DR situations, so the CPU "capacity" is limited to the point where its enough to boot the machine and little else. Then in order to match the named perf, what happens is that you cycle to a higher capacity tier (for $$$$$$$ of course).

These marketing materials basically need an IBM decoder ring, and its on purpose because if they just published the TPC-C/$ numbers everyone would be able to compare the machine vs the competition, and it likely wouldn't look good. So the benchmarks are contrived the same way apple was contriving altivec/photoshop benchmarks in the early 2000's. Sure with this one benchmark the machine is 10x faster than the competition but for these other 99 benchmarks its 1/2 the speed kinds of thing.

I'm sure buried in the IBM license there remains a restriction on publishing benchmarks.

Which maybe at some point I will post my own personal results running on an older machine when I don't think IBM would be able to trace me... but that said, lets say, in the past these numbers were cooked in such a way that the absolute top of the line machines were roughly equivilant to a mid-range x86 server available for about $40k. Now that said, if you can use all 40TB of redundant ram, and your workload needs 100 PCIe slots that it can only drive at about 1/100th of the total bandwidth (aka you need them for connectivity with the ability to burst at line rate) then sure, the zseries can come out ahead. But frankly your probably doing it wrong if you plug in 20 100Gbit adapters that average 10Gbit each.

I'm guessing a large part of the posted efficiency of these machines comes from the ML accelerator they now have, which gives them the ability to optimize some ML+DB type of workload that requires a big fat nvidia GPU under normal circumstances but doesn't make good use of it (or they are just comparing it to a x86 without a GPU...).
> Research seems to indicate that over one-third of the tanks used by the Russians in defence around Moscow during Barbarossa (in Dec 1941) were British:

I didn't know this, but I don't find it astonishing. This was when Russia was losing and the defense of Moscow was pretty desperate. It's likely a lot of those British tanks were lost during that battle (as noted, they weren't very good) and replaced with T-34s.

It's worth noting that most of the recorded losses of tanks by the Germans were in battles against T-34s.
That sounds horrible, I hope you were okay. Also it's hard to imagine. What brand and model of mask were you wearing?
that's much easier to change than physical location.
You don't generally exchange air with the heatpump, you're blowing the conditioned air through a radiator and the heat transfers from the air to the coolant which evaporates; the coolant is piped (pumped) to the outside equipment where there's a condensor and another radiator where the heat is transfered to the outside air.

Anyway, if everything is working properly, you more or less get a fixed delta T between the inlet and the outlet of the air handler while the system is running.

If you eliminate a lot of the heat load, your inlet temperature might not get as hot, also even if it does get as hot when the A/C is off, when it turns on, it may cool down much quicker and then you may overcool; especially if the A/C has a minimum cycle time.

As you say, when you cool air, the humidity capacity drops. Most air handlers have some capacity to remove humidity, but it's no absolute. If you drop the temperature too much, relative humidity will be really high and it will condense on all sorts of surfaces.

The key fact about US involvement is that most of it did not arrive until the Axis had been driven far back from its initial takings.

Actually occupying territory was crucial, and as the Germans were driven back, transportation to the front got harder even as the Germans' transport task shrank.

A great waste in the war was ineffective strategic ("Norden") bombing, using up untold bombers, crews, and ordinance. Another was expending skilled ex-pat pilots on direct combat while rotating experienced own pilots back to training.
