I don't have a better reference than 'stuff I heard from people who worked on EOF'. The EOF Wikipedia page puts like this:

EOF 1.0 was the first product released by NeXT using the Foundation Kit

One way or the other, their development was closely connected/overlapping.
Ouch! I hope those weren't the proverbial "priceless holiday snaps".
Pulse and Red Devil are the two major series that have hit the tops of the charts among miners; they overclock easier, they survive at overclocked longer, and they run at overclocked cooler, and their fans survive higher RPM longer.

They are also the two launch day non-refs for the 7900 XTX, and due to the vapor chamber issue, vanish from stock as soon as they come in.
"Rust 1.66.1 fixes Cargo not verifying SSH host keys when cloning dependencies or registry indexes with SSH. This security vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2022-46176"

Wrote Hacking Healthcare for O'Reilly, created ClearHealth/HealthCould open source EMR, built and operated ~90 acute care management services organizations (MSO) (the "things" that operate the non-medical aspects of many acute care systems).

Healthcare is highly dysfuctional but I want to dampen the notion a little bit that it is in some unique and new kind of collapse today. Everything you are stating is nearly verbatim what was being said in the 1980s at the dawn of HMO legislation which was somehow supposed to fix things.

There has been a lot of pushing the food around the plate since then. My view is that there are three legs to the tripod of the healthcare system, providers, patients and insurers. For fourty years those three legs have been fighting each other on many fronts and no leg is willing to give substantial ground. If I had a magic wand I would bring into existence a being of profound integrity and leadership that could negotiate meaningful compromises between those three groups but I think practically speaking, that is a pipe dream. The current status quo will continue, more or less, how it is for several decades yet.

I will agree with the other comentator that if you are sick a direct access primary care doctor or concierge doctor can really help. In many cases they can end up saving money versus deductibles and by helping you find specialists and facilities in your budget and timeframe. They vary but can be found in most markets for $1500 - $3000 per year. That's not cheap by any means but something that can pay for itself quickly.

I would also say to OP, seriously consider becoming a direct access provider. Feel free to reach out to me and I can put you in touch with some folks who you can talk to. You are not alone in your sentiment and in large part those sentiments are what led to the creation of direct primary care.

Human generation times across the past 250k years
I personally think the way your question is framed is kind of an example of how insidious the influence of the current system is.

It's not a matter of "are there enough humans who have sufficient training in medicine who are willing and able to fill all those positions?" It's are there enough humans with sufficient training in whatever positions there could be to meet the health needs that exist?

Just for example: it's pretty clear many things done by physicians could be done by other providers, like pharmacists, psychologists, dentists, optometrists, if we broadened our idea of what those specialties (and their subspecialties) could look like. There are also probably types of providers that could exist that don't exist at all now, that we're not imagining because the healthcare system makes so many assumptions about what it looks like. Maybe all these things will involve additional training opportunities or whatever, but if you let people do what they are capable of, they'll find a way.

Sure, train more physicians. They'd be there. But you'll find even more people willing to do all sorts of things in ways we aren't currently imagining. We're constrained by convention.

A serious, meaningfully effective range hood is much more expensive to install than a 240 plug. Most range hoods are performative. Can you sear a steak without setting off a nearby smoke alarm? If not, your range hood isn't doing much.

It's also much more expensive to maintain long term.
It took me a month. About 10 years back when Android just introduced "Fragments". Didn't know Java. I did know C from college and learned PHP in 1 day through work.

We basically had to turn a mobile web design into a full app for a paid client. Somehow my manager had a lot of faith in me actually doing it when nobody else (including me) did. So under the pressure, I picked it up enough to build something of commercial value.

Things have become substantially more complicated since then. Back then, it was about wrestling with the IDE, Java, XML, SQLite, tablet designs. Today, it would be wrestling with architecture, tests, nested UIs, reactive programming, and most examples and tutorials being out of date in some weird way.

I do teach bootcamps and expensive week-long training modules, so feel free to drop me an email if you have any questions or need help with hiring. It's on the bucket list to actually write a good starter guide to native Android, just something I've put off for a while.

Also here's a really good (free) course for Android though, probably better than most of those: https://www.udacity.com/course/developing-android-apps-with-...
I thought in middle school I was still using a normal calculator and was not allowed to use a graphing calculator. But now I don’t remember.

The other important part of that at least in my school, we had to use a graphing calculator but were also not allowed to use certain models that made things too easy.

That’s exactly my concern here.

Once you’re taking algebra it should be a assumption that given the time you can do basic multiplication, division, square roots and others given enough time but there isn’t any point when the more important part is solving other issues. That’s the simple stuff so why not make that easier as long as you learned how to get where you need to get.

But can you imagine having a tool like this when taking data structures?!?
I've tried to get myself writing a few times but never succeeded, so I don't have a blog. But - I am actually doing parameters like so in the view where I copied the above from:

CREATE TABLE view_confs (key, value);
INSERT INTO view_confs VALUE ('start', 2), ('end', 4);

Now prefix it with another one:

vals_range(x, y) AS (
SELECT x, y
FROM vals
WHERE x >= (SELECT value FROM view_confs WHERE key = 'start')
AND x < (SELECT value FROM view_confs WHERE key = 'end')
),

And swap the rest of the original query to use "vals_range" instead of "vals". Just gotta remember to update view_confs with the new range whenever you want to change the view. I think it should work inside a transaction to avoid multiple threads interfering with each other, but also to be clear: This is a workaround for sqlite not having stored procedures, and not wanting to implement it in code (so I can JOIN to the view in other queries). Better to use stored procedures in other databases than this workaround.

You have to hold a smartphone. The great thing about TV is that it is on in the background and you can do other things while you (don't) watch it.

That would make total sense had Germany not been making all of the wrong moves and relatively in bed with Russia the entire time, as opposed to the United States' support of Ukraine and anti-corruption movements there.

What to Do If Dependency Teams Can’t Help
+1. I mined on a few 3060s (and heated my house) last winter. All with cores underclocked, memory overclocked, all at ~60C temperature wise, each consuming about 120W.
I mean, the last few lines I wrote still stand if that's what you want to do. I would learn some CAD software, download a few files and try to cnc or 3D print something. Even in that link, I saw a screenshot of some CAD software.

I personally use a Sainsmart 3020. It's relatively cheap and pretty small. For my goals, it gets what I want done. I used to have an Ender 3 Pro for 3D printing but had to give that up. If you want to get into the business of manually using a lathe or something, more power to you, but why when we live in an era of desktop manufacture? But regardless of what equipment you use, you need something that can inspect, possibly edit, and transfer the design file to the equipment i.e. CAD.

Is direct primary care something to do instead of insurance, or in addition to insurance? I know someone who gets direct primary care and has no insurance, but I was telling him he should get insurance anyway in case of disaster -- was my advice incorrect?
> I suppose the same is not true in a skyscraper. Do elevators shut down in those too?

Generally, yes. In very tall buildings it will often be possible to seek authorization to use elevators for evacuation but you need to specifically arrange for the elevators and rest of the building to be suitable, in most cases it makes more sense for the evacuation plan to rely on stairwells instead. Walking down even 100 flights is a huge annoyance, but it's not impossible for able-bodied adults.

You'll know if you visit a building where the elevators are to be used in evacuation because they'll say very clearly on them that's what you should do, it's part of the regulations authorizing such things in the US and other countries I looked at with this allowance.

In addition most tall residential buildings have "Remain in place" strategies where evacuation would rarely be needed because the building is supposed to be designed so that most occupants are in no danger from likely emergencies such as a fire in another residence.

> I wouldn't think that the idea that hardware should obey its operator would need to be defended in HN of all places.

"I am entitled to whatever I want" is indeed a pretty common libertarian nonsense we see on HN but it tend to get shot down more often than not. There's no reason that hardware should be designed to do unreasonable things just because that's "obeying its operator".
Reminds me of a friend who passed away from what was essentially doctor apathy.

While recovering from a major surgery started getting terrible abdomen pains. Doctors could hardly even be bothered to tell her to deal with it, completely dismissed her.

about a week later a new resident comes in, pokes and prods her a bit (no doctor prior could even be bothered to do that), looks horrified and orders some scans.

Her stomach had burst and was leaking into abdominal cavity the whole time, she later passed from the complications.

I gained a ton of sympathy for folks for fight and push back against doctors after that.
I take what a researcher said with some confidence

I take what "some people said" with a grain of salt

I take what a "well-known" Brazilian actor said with another grain of salt

Should we make an affirmation based on what "some people said", or what researchers said?

OP's article about twitter:

> may have played

But the researchers said it "has played a role"

But about Kwai, based on what "some people" said, it is "Have played a role" and not "may have"

What's disinformation? does it have a different meaning based on the subject?

That the Kardashev scale exists does not necessitate that any civilizations will ever reach Type II or III.
It is simple, calculating, and heartless.

When there is a fixed amount of X available, a fair division of X across Y people gives everyone X / Y.

When you need more than X / Y, you are screwed (ask anyone in england who's needed cataract surgery on their second eye and was told that QoL improvement was not there, like it was for the first, so GTFO)

Since I can afford to buy a lot more than X / Y of healthcare for me and my family, should it be needed, the outcome for that limited and, to be honest, complete set of people whose well-being i care about is better in the current system.
Would it still be good to have insurance in addition to this, in case of disaster?
Have you noticed that looking at a monitor is harder to do with a bright background, such as a window with a sunny day outside hurts more than it used to? I do, and I concluded it was increased sensitivity (in a bad way) to contrasting light levels in the one viewing field. I raised it with an optometrist and they didn't think it was a problem. It is for me, though and also affects my ability to drive past cars with headlights on :)

Not saying the other comments are untrue, just adding my own experience :)
Wow thanks for sharing, that was very interesting.
All states except sort of Montana are "at Will".

Yes but not in any practically detectable way.
The last sentence is chilling. What can or will replace it? And how?

tbf, it sounds like you're just saying the US will collapse because while the health care system is a big part of it, the whole US is facing issues as you pointed out.

> As the article makes clear, there is not evidence that they are unsafe.

I admit I did not read past the third or so paragraph, when it was clear the author didn’t understand PR vs OR, despite their lengthy explanation. I have little hope that the rest of the article becomes magically well informed.

> Cities have already begun outlawing gas appliances in new construction. People who are concerned about the CPSC rumblings are justifiably worried.

Okay but even you have to be able to see that outlawing in new construction is not the same as the feds confiscating your existing stove right? No one busted down my door to take by Bucky balls when they got banned. Lawn darts? Lead children’s toys? Because the CPSC only regulates what is sold in the US. Not what people own. This is a complete overreaction.

The notion they’d ban new sales is a little more plausible, but still not realistic when there’s a thousand things we can do to make these things safe. There’s currently no emissions standards for gas stoves. Builders are allowed to build poor or no ventilation in new homes. There’s no warning labels. If we can make magnetic desk toys safer for sale after a direct DEATH and numerous injuries, we can definitely require ventilation of a stove.
Advanced aliens could only do space travel and they have no interest in us nor our science.

Its pretty easy to find shortages and flaws in any system.

And yes, national health is always tempting for budget cuts because its a huge number, and trimming it 5% gives real returns.

Shortages of drugs and equipment are often tied to supply-chain issues more than budget, and again that's a barrel of worms best left for another thread.

Clearly single-payer can work, but it does need the single-payer to, well, pay.

Brexit is a large factor because the UK was a net-importer of aid from Europe. And Europe was the biggest trading partner. Predictably leaving has decreased the economy such that tax revenues are down, which in turn means less to spend on social services.

Then we can talk about freedom of movement, and the number of Europeans who staffed the NHS and who no longer do so, and cannot be replaced by other Europeans.

So sure, the global economy is taking strain at the moment. Brexit is not the only cause. But its a pretty big sucking chest wound.
> the fault of a single-lane rear end collision is always the fault of the following vehicle. Always.

Courts have found that drivers that suddenly stop are sometimes liable instead of the car behind that was not able to stop.

In California, we have CVC 22109, which prohibits coming to an unnecessary stop.

Usually CVC 21703 -- which imposes a duty to not follow another driver when prudent, wins.

But 22109 came about, and courts often choose to weigh it heavily in fault determinations because of a couple primary circumstances:

* Cases where the leading driver deliberately instigated an accident because of road rage or to attempt insurance fraud.

* Cases where the leading driver's car had inoperable brake lights, which impaired reaction time in the trailing vehicle.

In these cases, the leading driver has been given the majority or even all of the fault of the accident.

You seem particularly passionate about this topic having popped up on multiple threads about it, and you're just not correct. The things you're saying about rear-end collisions are usually true, but not the type of things that are always-true absolutes.
I can nag everyone to use reflect.DeepEqual and live with some false negatives, but maps always use k1 == k2.

I like thinking about why something that survives interstellar travel might be elongated and off the top of my head I think of what analogous shape is familiar. The best way to penetrate mass is with length and density and of course space is “empty” but not over long time scales, and not when you add up interstellar medium over long distances. A big feature of such a shape assuming some stability is a small cross section and the length comes as a side effect of the necessary mass. It makes some sense that an object would be shaped like that but I do wonder what might provide the stability to maintain a small cross section rather than having a more chaotic rotation about some axis other than the radial one. I don’t think we know enough about Oumuamua to say whether this wondering is even relevant to it, but it’s fun to speculate, it could also be Darwinian in a sense. Its stability about a long rotation axis over long periods of time is why we end up seeing it on a long, long, long journey, or it’s something totally different :).

>a deluge of bills from providers who have no idea what the insurance owes and what you owe.

But if the provider can't communicate with the insurance in order to figure that out, why would a different deductible/coinsurance change that?

I was actually told that I met my deductible in 2022, and then I got another big bill in the mail. So that made me think deductibles are a scam and I should just pick the plan with the lowest premium.

(Thanks a lot for answering my questions by the way!)
I can't imagine that at all.

A TV is like a piece of furniture, or a decoration like a painting. As compelling as it is, you can choose to ignore it, make eye contact with and talk to someone else in the room wether the TV is on or not. It's casual.

I imagine too what an outrageously high pixel count a VR set would have to have to render a virtual TV with the same resolution as a real one.

And even aside from the above, I really can't see myself putting something on my face and dropping out of my environ for anything more than about 5 or 10 minutes. It's just weird.

Not a very original or clever form factor. At least design it more like the Mira Prism (https://www.mirareality.com/) where the phone position is closer to your head and have a large open FOV. I get that they want to expose the phones back camera for tracking - but use some fancy mirrors or something?

Ultimately this is very google cardboard like and passive so $129 is quite expensive.

I built a fun toy like this in the early 2000’s for $10 using foam board and a $5 sheet of teleprompter glass.

Ultimately anything like this has failed to capture the market because people just don’t want to have their phones out of reach and/or risk their battery using the camera/tracking.
Oh yes! Extend that to fish and you get Tokyo where you have to work your ass off to get mediocre sushi.
Doesn't look like phantom break, which is usually very sudden and no lane change. Most likely the driver was hands off the wheel and was warned multiple times before the car pulled itself over.
