> just lets the bills for the deductible go to debt collections?

Yes. Nothing happens as a result. They mail letters, and try to call, and that's about it. It doesn't even hurt credit scores, since they exclude medical debt.
For me, Penrose Tiling (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_tiling) is an intersection of math, computation, architecture and design.

This is pretty alarming.

I don't think Apple can do a full rewrite of Foundation, unless its opt-in only for Swift apps that have been ported to the new Swift-only codebase. If they are trying to opt in non-Swift apps, well, I'm glad I don't use OSX nor have to support it.

The article linked has few details on how they plan to do this, or how they plan on limiting the blast range.
Well, even if you are unmoved by the readability thing, I don't think there's a non-CTE answer to recursively finding rows.
You can tell if it's highbeams by looking for four distinct points of light.

Some headlights are always bright, moreso than 10-20 years ago. Probably due to the recent surge in prevalence of LED assemblies.

It also does seem like the quantity of clueless people driving with the highbeams on 24/7 is on the rise.

Do people not know how to operate their vehicles? There is no good excuse for the highbeams to be on in excesse.

As a pedestrian, Teslas really suck with their auto-highbeam tech. It's friggin' blinding. Every. Single. Time.
If you have a zero copay plan and your provider is in-network, for example, you're not going to be getting a bill in the mail later saying you owe XYZ dollars.

If, however, if you have a situation where you are using co-insurance (you pay x% and the insurance pays 1-x%) the backend bills and related paperwork can be a nightmare.

In terms of quality I'm really talking about the plan design moreso than the insurer and I'm really talking about a benefit rich plan, which is always going to cost more (and a lot more upfront).
Indians are the new Irish.
Without speaking to the ethics of the situation in either direction, I will say as a student that the vast majority of my time spent programming is on open source, or random personal projects. Assignments are maybe 10% of the time maximum. At least among my circle of friends (a fairly enthusiastic crowd, not a perfect representation of the major) this seems to be typical.

Isn't it more readable to make the code snippet with the case when statements into a CTE? I feel like I am misunderstanding the proposed benefits here.
This is where system modeling, differential equations, networks and control theory all come together to make sense of the “how and why” in using circuit components. That is years 2 and 3 in the EE curriculum—-at least it used to be.
I don't know. In my opinion there's nothing wrong with holistic training but I think there's also nothing wrong with different training paths. Better to let them all flourish and find their way in the system.

It all needs to happen in my opinion though: let the current provider models stay, but let in lots of other educational models, and empower people to take more care of themselves by giving them access to what they need. Everything is far too overregulated in medicine, or at least is regulated in the wrong way.

Even within the physician model it's broken and overregulated. Board certification is ridiculous and insane in some specialties.

I think medicine is just an amplified version of a lot of problems in the US, but it also has significant consequences for life and wellbeing.
> The only possible scenario where this doesn't hold water

There are way too many assumptions baked into what you wrote to make that the only possible scenario where the Dark Forest is incorrect.

You basically assume that the benefits of this outweigh the costs, which is entirely unfounded. You also assume that the technology for this is possible. Just saying "imagine something millions (heck I'll give you billions given how old the Milky Way is) of years more advanced than us" does not logically necessitate any of these assumptions to be true.

And if the Dark Forest is so obviously true, why hasn't it happened yet? Why are we still alive? For a 10 billion year-old galaxy, you'd imagine there's at least one other sentient species out there capable of such technology (if such technology is even ever possible in this universe, which is not yet proven of course). If you believe in the Dark Forest, then you must be indiscriminate about your killing, since one key tenet of the theory is technological explosion. A hairy ape (or even a small rodent) today may be harmless but given millions of years, could be the most intelligent species in the galaxy. So taking this to its logical end would require you to kill all life (even bacteria) whenever it's detected.
> The Affordable Care Act did not directly increase deductibles.

My deductible before the ACA was around $500 before, and around $4000 after. In one year it changed that much. Other people I've spoken with had the same experience.

> It even provided huge subsidies from the young and healthy to the poor

Only to people not in employee health care plans, which always have high deductibles.

> about their premiums going up due to being in the same risk pool as poorer and sicker people.

I'm not seeing the connection. People can buy whatever plan they want, receiving the money in cash doesn't force people into any particular risk pool. Not to mention the ACA majorly combined pools, and in fact did cause premiums to go up for this exact reason.
Every math class I've taken past elementary school and through college has required a graphing calculator. They don't care if you can do arithmetic in your head, they want to know that you know how to solve a problem, which steps to take. Though I think in this way, you can't even really compare copilot to a calculator, as it seems that copilot tries to know how to solve the problem.

Perhaps a better term for "unlimited time off" should be found. I feel like it anchors the whole thing in a weird territory. It's certainly not unlimited and entirely at the discretion of the manager/decision maker. I know its a small gripe but somehow it always feels so off saying "unlimited time off."

* I like the idea behind it. In practice and on paper tho it seems to have mixed results.
Yeah, residency programs are extremely expensive to run -- most of the work they do is duplicative, especially for 1st & 2nd year students. You're essentially paying multiple doctors a little money to follow doctors who make a lot of money around. They do cover overnight shifts, but they still need to be supervised by 'real' physicians so there aren't really any savings. Vox did a good summary of the whole situation last year;

Awesome to see a person in real life who thinks all markets are perfectly competitive and that there’s no such thing as anticompetitive behavior or fixed costs.
For simpler items like croissants, IMO the recipe and following directions is all that matters.
I've made a decent amount of semi complex desserts from recipe authors I trust and they turned out great.
Sure, there are some minor physical skills you learn and knowledge you gain, but for baking I find that as long as you follow good recipes precisely you can get great results.
This does fall apart when you start talking about decorating desserts as that is definitely more art/skill than science.
No it was not bound to happen. Greed and deregulation made it happen.

Don't give people inflation adjusted raises for a decade, remove all nurse to patient ratios, run them through hell, and then you're right it's inevitable
It sounds like we were in very different classes. I was using a graphing calculator mid-way through high school for calculus and statistics. Before that, I was using a basic one for trig and geometry.
It depends on the use of the database. Where there is intense transactional writes (e.g. case management system, etc.) the CTE approach can easily get locked up, especially if the write queries do a lot of their own lookups. I have come from an MSSQL background, so maybe that is an artifact either of the DB or the way it is used in my own history :) Good question though, and I'd like to hear from someone who has experience in other DBs.

WRT subverting the transaction isolation level, using temp tables is a tacit decision to do so and best for non-vital read queries in my own experience. That is, I used it for lookups of tables that did not _need_ to be completely up to date, or when I knew the data _would_ be up to date.

Avi Loeb at Harvard is the one advocating for interpreting this as an alien probe. He writes a very large number of very short papers, sort of idea papers, and he views himself as providing stimulating ideas.

The object was interesting in that it wasn’t just a sphere, it had a non-spherical shape. And beyond that is speculation, the actual shape is not well established, let alone whether it has a shape that suggests aliens.
A high deductible plan can save you money on the front end, but if you start using that plan you should prepare for rain - a deluge of bills from providers who have no idea what the insurance owes and what you owe.

And God-forbid you use a narrow network plan like an EPO because it's hard to figure out ahead of time what services are covered by the network and what's not. I went to see a doc who was in-network and only paid a $25 copay, which was great, but the lab where my routine blood work was sent was NOT in network and now I'm looking at $1,000 in lab bills for a test I didn't ask for.

The way that is worded makes it sound like a certain German retailer is frequented by miners, and this is what the failure mode of RDNA2 cards look like when overclocked and overvolted until dead.

The article says the users claimed they weren't mining, but, obviously, a miner wouldn't say they were mining with it, even though the strict EU consumer protection laws would probably protect them anyways.

Yea it’s quite different than the cardboard.

The cardboard is a VR device where you could only see your phones display.

This uses a peppers ghost setup to let you see the real world , and the phones screen is used to overlay holograms in the space in front of you.

If you’ve ever been to DisneyLand or any place that has hologram ghosts etc, this is essentially the same principle.
> Russia doesn't only export energy. They export 30% of entire worlds commodities.

Not even close. They are one of the largest exporters (some years #1) of wheat, and largest fertilizer exporter. Most of what they export is petrochemicals. Apart from that they are large in gems, and then some metals.

Basically they are roughly similar to Australia, a country with about 1/6 the the population. Russia’s main advantage in extractive industries is low labor costs and lack of environmental controls. If they lose any of that (and they are not maintaining their oil infrastructure) they will lose any advantage, as price, more than anything else, drives global extraction incentives.

This is true of the USA, but is not true about Europe, where few people have AC, and you only see the sun a few hours a day.
If russia is so sanctions proof and it's so easy why no one want's to be on that side. Well, I think it's because russia's economy goes down. And this will be happening for years to come. Who will be buying their weapons now when it's clear it's mostly ussr garbage? Look what happens with Urals price. If you think they're ok you have no idea what's happening inside.
That's a fair point, but I struggle to see how we haven't already reached that point with smartphones. Most people today already have a portable screen they can comfortably stow on-person, it feels like a hard sell to get them to ditch their TV and smartphone for a situationally useful headset. Doubly so if every participant needs a discrete headset.

While I enjoyed watching movies in VR, it's just more comfortable to lay down on the couch and watch a movie without a headset on.

What you're saying maybe true in the long run but it's not true right now. There are more nurses holding nursing degrees that are not in bedside care than nurses performing bedside care right now in the United States.

These people could easily be brought back into bedside care but the pay and conditions are absolutely abysmal.
If I were king:

1) Free time-saver perks for all hospital staff. I'm talking cleaners to the houses, pre-cooked take-home family meals, the whole nine yards.

2) Temporarily lower the threshold for trained medical professionals. There are many students and immigrants with plenty of education and skills. Get them in hospitals until we reach the point where it becomes a space issue rather than a staffing one. Give more experienced staff priority pick on working hours. Stem the bleeding and stop the work exhaustion/burnout.

3) Start longer term efforts to ramp up training of medical professionals. It's only gonna get worse with the baby boomers retiring and needing their own care.

4) Tell "big insurance" and "big healthcare" to put up or shut up. Slap on metrics and quotas focused on efficiency and net outcomes. Tweak the metrics until they get the picture. Set the bars high enough that the majority of issues are solved if the bar is met. If they can't meet the bar, hit their pocket books until they go bankrupt, nationalize them, then convert to single payer.
I actually prefer my pizza with less sauce, or preferably white pizza (I know, sacrilege) either the garlic butter variant or the ricotta variant. I've never had pizza in NYC, but favorites have always been Rizzo's and Roman Delight in the northern Philly suburbs. Both great places that I've eaten at hundreds of times. I'm sure NYC has good pizza, but Philadelphia is no slouch.

> So now looking at the NHS, complaining about under-funding and under-staffing, when those were completely predictable outcomes of Brexit isn't going to inform good health system forces.

I don't agree with this. I don't live in Britain, so I'm not fully aware of how Brexit has affected things over there.

I live in France. Didn't leave the EU, as a matter of fact it's one of the countries pushing the most for it. Same issues with the health system. A few months ago we were rationing paracetamol. Now we're back to not allowing sales of it online because of shortages.

I'm not saying Brexit helped, but I doubt it was the main cause, seeing how the same exact effect happened elsewhere, at the same time, while staying in the EU.

It would seem to me that, for whatever reason, many countries chose efficiency of the healthcare system above all else. Meaning closure of hospital beds, reduction of medical staff, etc.

This may be great for producing cheap Toyotas. No one cares if theirs is one week late because something unforeseen came up. It doesn't work as well for medical emergencies.

In a single paragraph you condemn from multiple sides. Too much and too little controversy, too meaningful yet too insubstantial, subjectively both wrong and right. There should be weight in your efforts.
As noted in the previous thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13701320), there is no good reason for why libc behaves differently when accessing the default file vs. one explicitly specified by TZ. Whether to stat for changes should be orthogonal to which timezone file is used (or to whether the default is used or not). There should rather be a separate way to configure the stat behavior, assuming it makes sense at all. (I don’t know how many programs can actually properly deal with intermittent changes to the timezone definitions.)

One reply comment of the above link mentions user vs. admin, but that’s not a good argument, because users specifying TZ may still want a long-running background process to observe updates of the timezone file, and also TZ may have been set system-wide rather than by the user.

You are looking at this the wrong way. Europe's problem is not its dependence on Russian energy but but its inability to say no to America and Britain when that duo interfere in mainland security matters. Its mind boggling that a country of Germany's size and might can't tell America to fuck off "Ukraine is not going to be in your sphere of influence". The tapped phone call between American diplomats back in 2014 was supposed to expose the outsize American role in Ukraine right before Russia seized Crimea: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26079957
I don't disagree that the population pyramid shape is a root factor. And that shape is likely to get worse, not better as time goes on.

Given that it's not "solvable" (at least not without a nice pandemic targeting old people, who can be convinced not to protect themselves) it's worth then looking at "best", not necessarily "perfect", systems that may deal with it.

The approach of "best healthcare for those who can afford it" is one way to go. All resources ploughed into some sub-section of humanity, those who can pay the most.

Or we might go with "good healthcare for everyone", so alas limited heart transplants.

And I get it. There will be winners and losers. At an individual level you can have all the money in the world, and yet die when some poor person is ahead of you in a queue. "Surely the queue should be in order of net-wealth?".

No system is going to make every medical intervention on all patients all the time. We won't in fact live forever.

That doesn't necessarily mean that the current system is the best alternative. (unless you're a share-holder, then it clearly is.)

> My deductible before the ACA was around $500 before, and around $4000 after. In one year it changed that much. Other people I've spoken with had the same experience.

I meant the deductible increase was not a statutory part of ACA, but an inevitable part due to the drastic increase in benefits (all preventative care, all medicines assuming there was efficacy data, out of pocket maximum instead of benefit maximum).

Before ACA, insurance could deny you healthcare easily. After ACA, they had to provide the benefit, even if the medicine cost $1M per month, and the insurance company could not choose to drop you as an insured.

> Only to people not in employee health care plans, which always have high deductibles.

As far as I know, this applies to all ACA compliant health plans, even ones that employers subsidize:

> I'm not seeing the connection. People can buy whatever plan they want, receiving the money in cash doesn't force people into any particular risk pool. Not to mention the ACA majorly combined pools, and in fact did cause premiums to go up for this exact reason.

Being part of an employer subsidized insurance plan’s risk pool can result in you being in a better risk pool than the public ones on healthcare.gov. For example, white collar businesses with lots of young, healthy employees like law firms and tech companies.

How convenient for Tesla. I doubt we would think this way if your wheel flew off your civic because of a design flaw in the axle.
It has already been confirmed by major people in the community that designs, ref or not, that use a conventional cooler do not exhibit the issue, and will reach about 85c (ie, normal) at 100% load.

The dead giveaway isn't that the chip reaches 110c, it's that the entire card gets so hot (due to manufacturing error of the vapor chamber, independently verified by the community and AMD both), that RAM starts throttling too (ie, identical to the 3090 issue with the special Micron GDDR6, and glad to see AMD also adopt RAM temp throttling), and that has not been observed on any non-vapor chamber card and also any vapor chamber that doesn't have the issue.
