It's a meaningless distinction if you're still allowed to raise your prices and then adjust your "costs" within a giant opaque black box that you call the chargemaster.

Lack of price controls and transparency is one (of many) of the reasons health care is so expensive.
everything is partly declarative. you can draw a rectangle line by line, or you can put this code into a function or a procedure, and call it declarative, because it is something like that.

i did not speak about testing, however what a declarative language can do is defined by the framework under it. so you test that I guess?

Well, they can materialize more cash at any time by issuing shares or raising debt. They're well above a fundamentally based fair value share price.

Not a bad hypothesis, at the same time, I struggle to think of cases in social media where users / activity return to a stagnating platform. Seems there is always some new platform users migrate to, rather than going back to something “old”.
Okay guys, that's enough 'well actually' for one day. Go touch some grass.
The trick in a lot of places is to start routine care at your providers urgent care clinics, which are often staffed with NPs instead of physicians; the NPs at those clinics are plugged directly into your family medicine provider. It takes a couple weeks to schedule appointments with doctors in our practice (especially our specific doctors), but I can be in and out of the clinic in under 30 minutes on no notice. It's not a bad system (aside from billing, which is a catastrophe).
In my opinion in this case the fork shouldn't be allowed to be created at all. If this is the final effect it's better to inform the user that "no, we don't let you fork the repo". So he could have done it the normal way, clone the repo and push it with another remote, that would have not had this issue.

To this day I thought that the "fork" concept was only a relationship at the level of UI, but as I see it has a logic in it, that is the fork depends on the original repository even for permissions, and that to me is surprising!
no-one has ever looked at the NHS as a reference to be copied, it is a unique system worldwide

it is one of the worlds largest employers but has essentially no economies of scale due to its structure

an example: until very recently it had no centralised procurement: trusts fought each other for resources (with its suppliers benefiting enormously)

it is exceptional and efficient at treatment if your condition(s) slot neatly into its "production line", but god help you otherwise

(but it's still vastly, vastly preferable to the US system which is an embarrassment for the richest nation on earth)

It doesn't rank well at all. Good thing I never claimed to have a "just listen" mindset. In fact, I said I disagree with it.

Arguably more chronic conditions might point to US health care being better. These individuals with multiple chronic conditions might not be alive except for high quality US medicine.

I pulled an old Kenwood HF transceiver my dad had given me about 10 years off of a shelf in the garage about a week ago. While I was digging around for the various pieces of it (long story short, it was broken, started repairing it, got overwhelmed, boxed it for a decade) I found a USB SDR in another box. I hooked up the SDR and checked out the FM broadcast band from the basement. The online radio guide showed that there were about 80 FM stations within 60 miles. In the basement, I could pick up about 35 of them. 1/5 were Christian stations. 2/5 were country (and/or western) stations, and the other 2/5th were interesting. A couple of 'adult album alternative' stations, a couple of Spanish stations, a few classic rock, a classic hip-hop, etc.

Once I got the transceiver repaired and functioning, I checked out the AM band on the Kenwood with a endfed shortwave antenna strung up in the back yard. between the local stations and the ones coming out of Denver, I think I could pick up about 20 of them with reasonable fidelity. They were, without exception, all talk. Some religion, some sports, a LOT of politics. Shortwave, which is arguably more dead than AM, seems to at least have more interesting content on it. (Still a lot of christian content, but also some propaganda / government news stations and some cool music coming across in languages I don't understand.).

Radio, as a hobby, requires a lot of poking around looking for signal these days.

Ten years ago, everyone interested in military aircraft who was not trying to sell the F-35 told me that it was terrible (too expensive, trying to do too many incompatible things, dependent on software systems which did not work and possibly could not work).

>It's difficult to track infant mortality across countries, because countries have different standards for reporting infant mortality. My understanding is that our ranking there is in significant part an artifact of measurement.

I hadn't heard that before. What specific artifacts are you talking about and do all organizations in the U.S. always use different standards than all other developed countries... have you seen any studies that control for those?

I've always heard this is the measure chosen specifically because it is the easiest to track as nearly all infant deaths are reported in developed countries and death doesn't lend itself to nuanced definitions.
interesting, honestly if that plays out you can quickly 2x your money there

It would be interesting to know whether the fastest supercomputers have truly revolutionized everything or if they simply serve as a source of pride for the countries that produce them. Also, advancements in software often lag behind advancements in hardware. So, is there a unique use for their speed beyond calculating PI to a new world record level of precision?

Right, the entire point of GitHub forks is to make it easier to upstream your local changes to the original repository. If you have no interest in doing that you shouldn't use a fork.
thats a huge amount of work and money.

Were you prescribed those drugs, or did you take them recreationally? It's important to work with a doctor to find the dosage that works for you, and it may be much lower than what you would take recreationally. There are also non-amphetamine medications that can help if you aren't comfortable with adderall and friends. There are also behavioral approaches to ADHD that you could explore with a medical professional.

Since your username contains "420," I will add that marijuana is a bad idea if you are struggling with ADHD symptoms. It may make you feel more productive, but it will greatly exasperate your ADHD tendencies.

My folks had Sirius in their cars when they were still driving, in a mountainous pretty rural area (town of <15k in mountainous terrain within national forest). I'm not sure what if any radio stations even exist for them, when I tried tuning a clock radio in their house I found nothing. Sure there's streaming or podcasts via phone or other Internet connection, but you're paying for those as well - and there are significant chunks of the drive to that town that still don't have cell service even on a state highway.
Wow, I guess PT Barnum was right about never losing money on underestimating the intelligence of people but this really is a new low.

Again, people trying to sell the F-35 in the oughties were saying that, but the experts I went to at the time were skeptical (and especially skeptical whether those extra capabilities matter for those countries which don't have a war against Russia, China, India, or Turkey in their threat model).

We now know that the Russian air force is much less capable than some believed it was.

Even the prejudice part we don't have to dance around.

I'm from the Netherlands, and for the first 24 years of my life have lived in lower working class neighborhoods, 3 in total. Low income families, people on wellfare, the like. In this case all white, so it's not a racial thing.

All of these 3 neighborhoods were awful. Relatively high crime, vandalism, the public dumping of trash, alcoholism, very loud music blasting, shouting, just general anti-social behavior.

The biggest quality of life improvement in my lifetime is that eventually I was able to afford living in a good neighborhood. Middle class to a bit above it. Families, stable citizens, civil, considerate, sane. The piece of mind this gives is invaluable. This is just one step up the ladder, I'm by no means rich.

It's not elitism. It shouldn't be a high bar to feel comfortable, safe, and not constantly frustrated by obnoxious people, or the spaces ruined. But at the same time we should acknowledge that this "bar" is strongly correlated with class. For obvious reasons, in the lower classes more people have what I'll categorize as "social issues".

And here's the thing. It's a rotten apple dynamic. Perhaps as little as 5-10% of the inhabitants are responsible for all this shit, yet the entire neighborhood becomes unlivable because of it. The real issue here is that these rotten apples are not addressed. Because it's near-impossible to address. The behavior is petty crime at best and often merely obnoxious and anti-social behavior. You can't put people in jail for that and they have to live somewhere. This is already the lowest end, there's nowhere else to go.

So the positive here is that it's not racism (in my example), and not even classism. 90% of people in the lower classes are decent and social people. The real issue is the inability to deal with the 10% that is not. The dysfunctionals and anti-socials wrecking the place.

I'm sure that each has their own story, but I'm not going to suffer my entire life at their whims. I've done plenty of that. You could say that this "prejudice" is very much grounded in reality. Sometimes you need to a reality check.

That is so damn pretty. I love the older machines.
The professor was simply stating what they observed. I am extrapolating on the possible problems that'd arise in this environment and what I am suggesting isn't really that absurd.

As a male student during my years in undergrad, I had 2 different instances of team members/partners who outright stated they would not cooperate and would just fail the lab/project unless I did XYZ thing for them. In the 2 cases I remember it was basically "do most of my work for me" despite barely having enough time to complete my own portions. To add onto this, professors often repeated in my courses that "it's your responsibility to make group/pair work succeed" and that students would need to pick up the slack for any deficiencies in the team/pair. To their credit, I occasionally had professors who graded work per team member to prevent this type of leaching but often the answer the professor would give the class was that learning how to pick up the slack was just part of the course.

It isn't much of a leap to see this kind of "if you don't cooperate we can just fail" behavior from someone who already has no academic penalty for failure (as audits don't have final grades) and who joins the class explicitly to try to get laid.

One of our cars is a 2023 Audi e-tron and it has no AM radio.

My immediate question was, was it harder and more expensive to specify a radio module/part with FM, but not AM ?

It seems like a design flex and not an actual cost or UI affordance, etc.

It is annoying because sports broadcasts in the Bay Area are typically on AM.

So much this.

I only recently started working in a big team again and when I'm doing Github code reviews I often find myself checking out the branch locally and reading the file in my IDE and then going back to the Github interface to write my review comments.

Not only is this often the only way to understand the context of a change but it also makes it much easier to spot refactoring opportunities. But it's cumbersome and slow.

SQL does not make sense as a declarative language to me. How you can say that SQL and HTML is the same by nature? Also I can't see why we can't argue about this against the literature. Saying "you are wrong because 20 years old textbook say you are wrong" is not an argument for me
This headline is backed up by overbroad metrics. Life expectancy, infant/maternal mortality, rate of avoidable deaths, and multiple chronic conditions(perhaps because of obesity they say) are how this author determined the US still has the worst...

Obesity actually might account for most of these problems. This article is brief and uninformative. The author overtly implies that guaranteed health coverage is the answer. I disagree.

You are talking as if those two DEs are the only two options in existence. They are not. Xfce started development in 1996 ahead og GNOME. And if the "political reasons" you talked about were related to licensing issues with Qt, then GNOME is not the one to blame for. Asking people to look at the history is only going to make them discover the truth you don't want to admit.
So this is twitter but you can only post articles that contain advertisements? And it even gives you an inbox? Maybe the magic is in the algorithm but I am currently not inspired and I really like twitter.
I do know some high powered industry leaders in the USA. At that level you don’t break the rules, you make them… specifically to exclude you competitors while leaving carefully crafted loopholes for yourself.

I agree that what you are talking about applies to scrappy startup types, the same people that eventually stop breaking the rules once they have enough power not to need to.
Shareholders. A lot of their expenses are equity compensation.
It also further aligns them with the US military complex team which - anyone who’s watching Ukraine knows is the right pick. Gripen is cool but Finland needs a strategic partnership with the US. Sweden is already their best friend and they certainly can’t rely on the big EU countries to not try to not hurt Putins feelings instead of helping a ally in an existential struggle
Are there any jet fighters available to buy that Finland would be the only operator of? I'd assume all other options would be operated in their country of origin at the very least (eg Gripen in Sweden, Rafale in France...)

Those don't have stealth of course and having Russia as a direct neighbor it's much more likely they'll see combat against an advanced military (much more do than western Europe) so I can imagine they wanted that advantage even though it's not perfect.
Ensuring diversity is obviously a terrible goal. The only sane and ethical goal is ensuring equality. If everyone got exactly the same opportunity and the best based on skill got hired, job done.

> It's difficult to track infant mortality across countries, because countries have different standards for reporting infant mortality. My understanding is that our ranking there is in significant part an artifact of measurement.

I'm pretty skeptical of this, at least that there is such a significant difference in reporting that it would actually change the end result. Do you have any links to studies or other resources to add to this?

> On the other hand, there are other metrics of health care quality.

Sure, you can effectively game the system by choosing the right statistic, but broadly speaking the US performs poorly or "the worst" on many, many metrics. Like it is hard to square up the US not being worst or almost worst when it's got almost double maternal mortality than the next country on the graph in the article (New Zealand) and almost 2.5 times the OECD average.
