> At the end of the day, people just want a "good enough" estimate of what a hospital visit will cost in the typical case for their reason for visiting the hospital.

I had some really bad intestinal pain and tons of vomiting a few months ago, bad enough I ended going to an ER because I was passing out.

Do you really expect they'd be able to tell me within a minute or two evaluation of me what everything they'd need to do, based solely on that knowledge?

Maybe all they'll end up doing is giving me some good anti-nausea meds and a saline drip. Maybe I'll need surgery in a half hour. How could they possibly give me a realistic up front estimate they could stick to?

Healthcare isn't a free market. When my family member was puking blood I wasn't shopping around, we just called 911.

My first child, I got an estimate for the cost. An extra day of labor past expectations and half a week under Billie lights in the NICU blew that estimate not just out of the water but out of this galaxy. Imagine if fixing a dented bumper took an estimate from $200 to $60k, and yet that's not uncommon in healthcare.
We use kinesis a lot at work, and some services are architected to write events to a Postgres table which eventually gets dumped to kinesis, while other services write directly to kinesis.

Guess which services fared better during the last kinesis outage?
If working in the modern software industry has taught me anything, it's that developers can figure out how to write slow janky UIs no matter how powerful the processor.

I'd go so far as to say there's an inverse correlation here. My 100Mhz desktop had a more responsive UI than any computer I've used in the last 5 years.

Text editing on that 100Mhz computer felt responsive, typing characters had them appear on the screen instantly, I could copy+paste 100s of lines of text without a problem.
Now, I load notion.so on a 4Ghz cpu, and typing is sluggish, scrolling has severe lag, and pasting 100 lines of text sometimes takes several seconds.

All this is me saying that I'm more inclined to blame software than to blame the hardware for UI lag.
An iPhone 14 Pro has a 3,200mAh battery.

The Energiser rechargeable AAA I happen to have here is 800mAh.

So exactly four standard rechargeable AAAs. Not bad really.

Edit: As explained below, this is incorrect, as I didn't take voltage into account.

Maybe, but I'm almost certainly from a different corner of the earth, and IME old cars never aimed for the wet putty look.

I follow car news quite deeply, and have been since the 80s, and other than military vehicles, I have not seen manufacturers paint their cars to look like wet putty until recently.

Maybe they were offered but not popular?

If you have links to any examples of old cars that look like wet putty, I'd love to see them.

This paper

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S030142151...

Which you keep citing parts of or citing directly shows costs increasing 23% year on year after the opening of the first large commercial reactor. This increase then slowed after TMI according to that paper. The only cost decreases were demo reactors, and small turnkey reactors most of which were shut down not very long after. The countries where costs did not escalate all had far worse reliability than the US program after the 80s. You get what you pay for.

In 2022 dollars the overnight cost for reactors coming online just prior to TMI is over $3000/kW for capacity factors that didn't exceed 58% until many more upgrades and repairs had been made over the course of years or decades.

Here is a simple model in the arctic for a renewable mix of 100MW with higher capacity than those plants at an all in cost that is lower than the overnight cost in your fantasy scenario. It uses a capacity factor about 2% lower than the median for new wind and a solar panel angle that is off optimal by 20 degrees for the latitude.

https://model.energy/?results=fae43ac72e2df9c13526b6989d63c0...

Selling the power that system made for just the O&M costs of the cheapest US reactors today for 20 years would pay for another one.

Renewables in reality are vastly superior to your fantasy nuclear reactor.

Game of Thrones is an example of why serialized adaptations can be great.

Apparently (I haven't seen it for myself, but all the reviews suck), Foundation is simply not such an example. This doesn't mean serialized adaptations don't work. Similarly, I can find lots of examples of movie adaptations that suck; this doesn't mean movie adaptations can't work.

"mAh" is a useless measurement that should be banned from marketing to the public, period. It does not actually represent the energy stored in the batteries, and it can easily mislead people. I also get annoyed that no one uses Ah, when "thousands of thousandths" is a really annoying way to communicate. 3200mAh -> 3.2Ah. Why do no manufacturers understand this? And why don't manufacturers just use a proper unit that measures the energy stored in the battery?

You must compare watt-hours (or use joules, if you like) for it to be meaningful. AAA voltage is 1.5V, lithium ion voltage is 3.7V or 4.2V or something, which means that each "mAh" is worth several times as much as one from a AAA battery.

The iPhone 14 Pro battery is about 12Wh. A single AAA battery has about 1.9Wh, according to google. So, 6 AAA batteries, optimistically, excluding other factors that could raise the count. Using your number of 800mAh*1.5V=1.2Wh, which would mean 10 AAA batteries.

I have a mentally very taxing job and often feel exhausted after work. I have my own projects I would love to work on in my spare time but I can rarely find the energy to do so. I've tried pushing myself, but that only results in migraines.

Instead, I watch TV or play games to relax. Dwarf Fortress is one of those games. It may sound counterintuitive but immersing myself in something like that, or a puzzle game, clears my mind and helps me wind down.
Internet is extremly spammy and it is a result of ad-based monetization which provides incentive for the spam to be created. Luckilly an efficient mechanism to detect most such spam is to measure number of ads on a site and then downrank such results, which is what we do.
It doesn't seem reasonable to me. If I were CVS and lost this case court, I would simply never guarantee any amount of charitable giving again. Then the ADA doesn't have generous backer guaranteeing a 3 year budget of $10M, which is almost certainly not good for the ADA. It seems incredibly short sighted to sue a company for charitable fundraising/giving unless they obviously intended to defraud.

I think most people concerns about crypto is either the scam (of other people) or the potential displacement of the system they are part of (which will cause its fall and a loss to them/it's a zero-sum game). Both of these are valid concerns.

What I am wondering, however, is if this scamming/pumping money will eventually make a legitimate industry. Many industries/technologies have started out of that (Military, Gambling, Sex, etc...)

Lisp is much, much harder to learn than JS is. Aside from that JS is a very transferrable skill, but Lisp is not.
> We can recognize that committed partnerships are healthy and encourage them without saying that any one individual is at fault if a relationship didn't work out.

Do we really need to encourage happy, healthy, and successful committed partnerships? Don't most people desire that for themselves? We should probably avoid outright discouraging them, but I suspect that most people are wanting a good, happy, loving, relationship and that if they divorce it's because they didn't have one.

I really don't think that it's simply a matter of most people seeing divorce as being so easy and consequence free that there's no value in putting in the effort to work things out with their spouses either. Especially not when children are involved.

I think the effect is partially due to all modern (well, jet age) airliners looking more or less the same at a glance. You can tell the 747 is larger than a, say, A320, because it has four engines and the second floor. But just how much larger the 747 is you see when they are parked beside each other.
Same here. 747s are everywhere in the literature I grew up with. They are also in news, games and films. But when I actually grown up, the time of those planes have lapsed. Now due to visa limitations, I am even harder to travel internationally, not to say to choose a specific plane to fly on.
That we know about. Last I checked VSCode extensions run completely unsandboxed, at least on Linux. It's only a matter of time before a malicious one is discovered.

Do you have any evidence that the denormalization of racism etc. is because of social media? Or that social media even helped? The ongoing fight to change the things you cite all predate social media by decades or more. Even with the Arab Spring, was social media helpful or just the tool used to coordinate? Would it have happened anyway without Twitter being there as a means to broadcast? A common criticism I have heard of social media is that it is so easy to just retweet/like and wave the flag that many people stop doing anything meaningful and visible outside the echo chamber entirely.
This attitude is way too prevalent for how badly society is crumbling
I rode one on an international flight in 2007 that seemed like pristine stock from the 70s. Still had a weird lounge on the second floor, and those awful headphones that are just like piped-in music. The seats still had the little ash trays in the armrest too. Quite an experience!

EDIT: heres what those headphones look like, they're literally just tubes that carry the sound from a tiny speaker in the armrest:

I remember taking a multiple choice question test for some scholarship 35 years ago. 20 questions with the explicit instructions that for any question all of the choices could be correct or none of them or combination, and you were supposed to check only the answers that were correct. It was a VERY hard test. In addition you could score less than zero since every correct item that you checked would add points but every incorrect item itme you checked would subtract points AND every correct item you didn't check would also subtract points. You didn't get points for not checking incorrect items.

I've never seen a test like that for school work.
The sensors removed were outside the facility. The suppression campaign was about Iodine in the soil.

It is trivial to provide hard evidence about what the levels of radioactive Iodine, Krypton, Caesium, etc. are. Suppressing it just makes you look guilty. Their behavior is exactly like in Kakadu where the response is "you can't prove people don't smoke and drink more here", or what the tobacco and fossil fuel industries have done for decades.
ANA flies them exclusively between Hawaii and Japan with a fleet of 4 A380s. If you want to fly the A380 – Emirates is your friend, with over 80% of the fleet under operation (100+ planes).

If you want to fly 747 - Lufthansa is your friend as the sole operator of the passenger version 747-8. Business on the upper deck is a delight in that plane, especially the window seat.
This isn't correct. Chernobyl was a steam explosion but it's literally not possible for any nuclear power plant to ever have a true nuclear bomb type explosion. That's a trope straight out of the Simpsons. Chernobyl was just about the worst case scenario in terms of reactor stability combining a positive void coefficient, moderator tipped control rods, a Xenon saturated reactor core, almost all control rods removed, and no containment structure to top it all off. As far as "a very small portion of nuclear fuel" being leaked, that steam explosion completely removed the reactor hall above it. It's not like it was just the lid that flew off, the remains of the fuel bundles and graphite moderators were scattered for miles. The graphite left in the crater where the reactor used to be was all burning for days spreading any fission products contained inside up with the smoke.

Chernobyl was the worst case disaster. Even before Chernobyl happened nuclear power plants outside of the USSR were already using much much safer designs. Ultimately Chernobyl has killed more people due to fears around nuclear power than even the highest realistic death toll from the accident itself.
The ability of the cargo version of the 747 to swing up the nose (that's why the cockpit is in the bulge on the top) will be missed. Cargo versions of currently produced airliners will not be capable of doing this.

I was used to seeing mostly smallish domestic flight planes up close and to me they seemed big but not imposing. Once I saw one of them parked next to 747, and boy was I blown away. The small plane's fuselage was sort of same size as the 747's engine; and 747 had four of those engines! That's when I realised how humongous 747 is. I still marvel at human agency; not only can they build structures as big as 747 it can also fly across continent, reliably and safely carry hundreds of passengers in total comfort.
Interesting.

Most of the books I purchase are used “vintage” out-of-print hardbacks, usually 50-150 years old. Normally the cheapest G/VG, but sometimes I’ll buy what is referred to a “reading copy”. Often I build a pile of to-be-bought on Bookfinder…sometimes I make a single immediate purchase and ignore the list, but sometimes I just get sick of seeing the list and order a bunch to shorten it. I do not try to order several books from one bookshop, even if they offer a discount. My interests are too specific to expect that a single bookshop will have more than one book per order. Publishers are irrelevant unless I can get a 1st ed cheap.

Delivery times are normally irrelevant. I try to keep a steady trickle of vintage books entering the house. Christmas every week! Since most are in the public domain and available for free online, I often skim the online copy to determine whether a physical vintage book warrants the shelf space.

From a technical perspective why isn't this a solved problem?

Identity will always be a difficult problem, but being able to own your own face / likeness by demonstrating it should be technically possible right?

Forced visual "captchas" something like "please take a photo standing on one foot and your finger pointed at your nose"

Then once you own your likeness with "faceID" likeness similarity isn't it then easy to monitor the images uploaded to the profile or am I completely missing something?
I did a similar experiment, except that I started with phonology of the language, and it's pretty decent at that too if you want to get it to "sound like something". It does understand stuff like place and manner of articulation, how adjacent phonemes can affect each other etc.
I'm not sure I would see a blockchain as a particularly good fit - the benefits of blockchain architectures are generally where there is a lack of trust or identifiable authority, without that then there's probably a simpler solution.

What happens in your system if the NFT key is lost or stolen?

If the answer is "We can fix that", then you have your authority, you have a 'real' part in the background and the NFT part is really just for show. And if the answer is "well that breaks everything" then it's a pretty bad system for property!

Also by the looks of the info here - https://passport.mattereum.com/West.London.Lets.01/ - the NFT is not really equivalent to full legal title, mattereum the company appears to act as a sort of ownership proxy which will transfer the title to the NFT holder on demand. So honestly it doesn't feel like cutting the UK property purchase bureaucracy so much as putting a legal structure in front of ownership so that you don't really complete a purchase at all.

As the other user pointed out too, well, good luck getting a million bucks for that little stretch of gravel in the middle of nowhere!
This is programmable money where the government controls how and when you can spend it. It does not take long for most people to figure out how this restricts their freedom. I guess they will make it a bargain in some way such as charging a higher rate for cash as they are doing here. This may be a training ground for other governments to learn how to force or incentivize us to use their CBDC's.

Day of month has no meaning without specifying the month, unless you specifically say “this month”.

So providing the day before the month does not provide any contextual advantage.

However, in most cases, the year is not necessary for contextual meaning.

So the alternatives are month + day or month + day and year.

If you don’t understand why something is done, but it’s been done for a long time, chances are that it evolved to be that way for a reason.

If something is arbitrarily dictated to replace an evolved system, there is most likely some information or practical purpose that is lost.
