Simply put "Couldn't afford the care? Should've shopped around!". It feels like a non-solution solution to access to healthcare. In theory it's great to have transparency, but in reality this is just pushing responsibility & complexity onto patients, all to continue a facade that market-based economic models work well for patient care & will magically drive down costs.

> His whole argument here is just moral and ethical grandstanding.

I don’t think it is a moral or ethical question. The more freedoms you give away to companies with significant market power, the worse off you are in an economic sense.

See Microsoft’s takeover of open-source .NET libraries and VS Code extensions, the Intel Management Engine, the glued in batteries in Apple devices, Google’s efforts to make alternative OSs harder to run on Android devices and ChromeBooks which in their factory form are built to track you, Toyota’s subscription model to keep your remote key fob functional, Mercedes’ subscription model for acceleration, and so on.

You buy hardware, you use (and often buy) software, and they are more and more locked down so you don’t truly own them and are more and more designed to force you to pay more of your money.

That is one bag of trust, yes. "The web CA pool" (there's not just one, there's actually at least four in common use in America (Google/Chrome, Mozilla, Microsoft, and Apple), with several more besides)

But most modern apps don't just connect to the internet, they connect to internal stuff like databases using TLS as well. It's actually a valid strategy to just use the web trust pool for that as well - I personally use it in places, with the certificate managed by CertBot reused for the webserver and the postgres server.

It's not a solution for the modern enterprise, where mutual TLS is sometimes a requirement and is attractive if not. You will want to have at least one non-web CA pool (Trust Bundle) for your enterprise, and sometimes several more for other departments, or other companies you collaborate with.
I find the 787 a downgrade from the 747 or 777. The 787 is noticeably smaller and lighter which makes for a less smooth and solid-feeling ride in turbulence. Whenever I fly International I try to look for a 747 or 777.
For a while AWS Glue had an issue where the running job counter would permanently increment. This was a problem if you only wanted one copy of a job running. The advice support gave us was to increase the allowed count by one. I saw references to this issue that were years old. I think it is fixed now because I haven't seen it happen in months.
I think so.

> prompt engineering

Honestly, that's what several roles in software engineering do. People who gather requirements and design features are taking goals (possibly communicated imprecisely) by others and converts them into "prompts" which can be comprehended by a more specialized system (person/group) next in the chain.

Software architects and more senior engineers do this again, converting pretty good requirements into prompts which can be understood and acted upon by programmers. Sometimes they are the next step also. (We all do multiple iterations of refinement before we get to actual coding.)

So being good at designing prompts for chatGPT is not so unlike designing effective prompts for humans. The better you understand the prompt receiver and the goals, the more success you'll have prompting the next phase to generate something useful.

>A village idiot is isolated for having off-base ideas and behavior, hence bad ideas don't take root.

>The normalization of doxxing, snitching, gossiping and cancel culture as "conversation" tools.

You seem to be contradicting yourself here. Back in the pre-internet days, the "village idiot" was "canceled". No one bothered to listen to his idiotic blatherings or attempting to debate or debunk him; everyone just ignored him because he was a waste of time. Hence, he was "canceled", or "isolated" as you put it. But now you're complaining about similarly stupid and dangerous people being "canceled" (i.e., ignored and shunned).

Animate property of a svg node manually is definitely not a good idea. The overhead is really huge. The browser literally need to redo almost anything from start to render the path and hence the image. And even worse, it also need to synchronize DOM values...etc. Anything you don't care in this use case properly. Let alone the removed node need to be garbage collected, which is also a expensive operation if you even want to do it at 60fps. That is just multi horror movie combined.

This whole thread is shameful.

Recruiters do a valuable job; I don't pity them and I do not envy them.

The number of bad recruiters I've interacted with are high, but that's largely selection bias: the ones that reach me are not paying attention enough to realise that I'm not going to move.

I've worked closely with recruiters and their job is tiring and thankless; in the end though they can go home peacefully and it's easier to plan their day.

I can't speak to the reason I noticed this phenomena (of conventionally attractive women being overrepresented in recruiting), but I could believe that it's possible that men are more likely to respond to pretty women reaching out to them with kind words and making them feel wanted and valued; thus conventionally attractive women tend to be more successful in the industry, and thus we sort of have some kind of survivorship bias at play.

I don't know if that's true, but I could believe it quite comfortably.

Radiation density is what matters. Radiation that escapes into a much larger volume rapidly becomes negligibly more radioactive than the average. If the surrounding areas are contaminated, it should be trivial to find this without access to the plant itself. Unless this is radiation is completely contained in the plant, and in that case it's not really contamination is it?

They don't want Greenpeace sticking random sensors everywhere, because they'll detect negligible amounts of radioisotopes and insist it's contamination. They're free to walk around less than a mile away from the plant with Geiger counters in and whatever other equipment they want. If nearby areas were contaminated, then being prohibited from entering the plant itself would pose no issue to discovering that contamination. And you can't just walk onto a nuclear facility, them being prohibited is not unusual in the slightest. It's like claiming the fact that Im not free to expose Area 51 is proof that there's something nefarious hidden there: aliens, genetically engineer Nekos, take your pick.

On most airlines the upper deck was originally used as lounge space, and then later for first/business class, which may have helped with the poshness you experienced.

In the early-mid 2010s I was fortunate to fly several times on the upper deck of an EVA Air 747 (SEA–TPE). On these planes, the upper deck was regular economy in a 3x3 configuration. It felt like a miniature 737 inside the huge 747, cozy in its own strange way. They also provided slippers and the window seats had a fun shelf/storage space, making it feel all the more special.

Almost all programs that people write are written so that they provably halt (or provably don't halt - as continuing forever is sometimes the desired behavior).

How do we do that? By using known-halting parts, and composing them in known-halting ways. How did we find those parts in the first place, well computer science.. But boiling that down to a codified process, that's where it gets murkier. I think we don't really know exactly how human ingenuity discovers new useful halting parts in the face of the halting problem.
Some attempts have been made but it still sucks.

After you order and drive away, I’ll find the app hours later still tracking me and using GPS. I almost always have to force close the app.

Then the next time I use it the previous order won’t have cleared out despite me picking it up, and I’ll have to go in and “cancel” the order.

Sure. Which is why a non-ambiguous format would be preferred, like the ISO standard YYYY-MM-DD.
> It seems you could possibly apply this same logic to exclude any subgroup.

No, just any subgroup that, by construction, is not reachable with whatever technique you are using. The key point is that there will always be such subgroups. See further comments below.

> Should you still survey them?

If you mean, should you still send out surveys the first time even though you don't know how people will respond? If you're going to do a survey at all, you have no choice, so this question is pointless.

If you mean, should you continue to pester people who didn't respond the first time, on the grounds that "it will result in a more representative sample", I would question whether that is really the case. See further comments below.

> I assume it would be a detriment to the survey if you exclude some groups merely because they aren't compatible with your survey-taking techniques.

It's a "detriment" if you fail to realize that there is no way to avoid it. Taking a survey inherently means you get responses from people who respond to surveys and not from people who don't. Going back and asking a second time for a response from people who didn't respond the first time inherently means you get responses from people who will respond the second time and not from people who won't. And so on. There is no way to avoid the fact that any survey-taking technique will inherently exclude some proportion of the population.

Once you realize this, you realize that the idea of "getting a more representive sample" is based on a false premise, that you can somehow "include" everyone if you just go about it the right way. You can't.

Option A is strictly superior to option D, as you are still have the data for original 90 responses. If second round responses are similar, you have increased confidence that you are not running into responder bias. If it's different, you can publish both and note uncertainties and need for further study.

can you clarify on the kind of regulations you think pornography needs?
Presumably, that is because the government in the western European country is stepping in to regulate prices, so the PBM (i.e. health insurance company), is not having to do that.

A PBM is just the department of a health insurance company which negotiates with pharmacies and medicine suppliers. Pharmacies are required because society decided a qualified person should be double checking the chemicals that get prescribed to people by a doctor.

The health insurance company is an agent on behalf of an unknowledgeable and unable buyer that negotiates healthcare prices and (ideally) adjudicates the care itself to prevent waste or fraud. They would be better labeled managed care organizations (MCO), because people pay them to manage their healthcare in a sense, on top of providing insurance against expenses over the out of pocket maximum.

Technically, one or more of all the managed care organization's functions can be performed by the government as a single entity for everyone, and is in many countries. However, the US has decided to go with a very fractured approach, delineating large portions of the population into various tribes that receive various quantity and quality levels of healthcare that is adjudicated by various administrators. On top of this is 50 states with 50 regulatory bodies with 50 different rules around healthcare delivery.

Hence, there are a lot of systems and negotiations flying around and a lot of variance in delivery of healthcare.

To be clear, I was not justifying the current architecture, I specifically wrote "an entirely different architecture could very easily work much better."

I was pointing out, however, that, as is often the case, the initial estimates in a typical "why do they need all this stuff" post, likely underestimated the transaction volume by possibly 10x. Perhaps 3000 or 30000 transactions per second could run on the same system -- I'm not an expert at that scale. But I doubt you'd find any Fortune 100 company relying solely on Postgres and Redis.

> For example, let's look at the Tide Pod incident, how many teens in total ate tide pods?

You say 86, but that was just the number of children reported to the AAPC. I think it'd be reasonable to assume that there were many more cases that were not reported (due to varied levels of ingestion/concern) or were reported elsewhere and so not included in AAPC stats.

Some of what you call "Moral Panic" and "Pearl-Clutching" in regard to the whole tide pod thing was also what I'd call "Education". It informed both parents and children that this was occurring and why it was a bad idea. I think it's also safe to assume this helped prevent a few cases.

Young children were and still are the primary concern when it comes to ingesting household poisons, and there have been active efforts and ongoing campaigns for ages warning both parents and children about that particular danger (see for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Yuk), but what made the tide-pod challenge remarkable and newsworthy is that very few people would have expected that so many teenagers would be stupid enough to do something like that.

All that isn't to say that the media didn't jump at the chance to generate clicks by exploiting parent's fear and exaggerating the phenomenon, but it wasn't simply something invented to panic parents the way the D&D scare was, and it was just one of several stupid dangerous things children were doing around that time motivated by internet points and social media attention.

In the case of this "Not Tourette’s", while I'm sure it has been being reported elsewhere and perhaps even irresponsibly, the source is an academic paper and no matter the actual prevalence of this behavior it's absolutely appropriate for something like this to be reported and discussed in that setting. Even if this does turn out to be nothing but a blip in referrals that never amounts to a larger trend of great concern and the fad of kids pretending to have Tourette’s dies off quickly, that's perfectly fine.

What matters is that there are records and reports so that all available evidence can be collected, compared, and studied in the event that it isn't simply a non-issue that dies off on its own. In the meantime, because it is happening, it seems like a good thing for healthcare providers to be aware of what's been observed so far and that researchers can look into the "Why" behind it.

In terms of honest research, discovering uncertainties is as important as discovering trends, you just duly present these in your conclusions. If you are motivated to reach certain conclusions from the outset, you are looking for politics or marketing class, not statistics class.
Not necessarily.

I think the two lines actually work together. If the IT team works with the users rather than against them, the friction of adding new software is "low". It is, of course, strictly higher than if the user can just install whatever whenever.

But, GP posits, this increase (from "none" to "low") is further mitigated by the fact that, in practice, this friction-generating need does not arise often.
