Hospitals have regional monopolies are are being consolidated by private equity companies. The doctors have way more leverage with the hospitals.
Maybe the reason why people are so miserable in your country is because they execute people. Drug use is a symptom, not a cause. A society that devalues life to the point normalizing of ending of it can never be a happy one. People abuse drugs to escape, what do you think they're trying to escape from?

If it's the drugs and the dissemination of them that you find are objectionable enough to murder those who participate, my nice pharmacy lady is just as guilty. You want her to die, or you're a hypocrite.
Didn't they removed the cross too?
For the short time I was there, I had no issues accessing BBC or CNN from Singapore.
> This is achieved by a unification of cognitive and neural phenomena known as the Fundamental Code Unit (FCU), representing identifiable patterns of brain activity at the submolecular, molecular, and cellular levels (intra-brain communications), as well as their manifestations in thought and language (inter-brain communications).

Is this for real? I mean it’s a granted patent, but it reads like sci-fi

Can you get a patent for just ideas/concepts that you think might pan out in the future, but no one has put into practice, not even the applicant of the patent?
I remember reading a weekly newsletter (perhaps in email but probably on Usenet) that listed all the best new websites that had been set up. One week such-and-such university's law school had set up a site that listed their state's laws (but for the full text you still had to go to the library). I can't remember what it was called - it could have been Jerry and David's Guide, which became Yahoo, but all snapshots that I can find look more like an attempt at a comprehensive hierarchical list than a weekly "what's new".
you are saying that US military leaders should have served time too?
In one sense it is less religious than your approach, because you don’t need to believe anything, just approach the issue with an open mind and do some experiments.

It is more religious in the sense that some ”religions” are closer to science and philosophy with regard to these issues, because they teach you the methods to run these experiments instead of just wiseacring about them.

It is not scientific in the sense that scientific equipment is currently not sensitive enough to for example measure the weight of a thought, although there appears to be nothing that would theoreticslly prevent that.

In short consciousness you talk about is just an illusion created by your mind. A lie you make up so you are more convincing liar when talking to others, trying to prove you are a good person so that they do not throw you out of the ”group” i.e. society.

From your experience it is impossible to talk about consciousness as you have not experienced heightened levels of consicousness.

To have a meaningful discussion we need to have shared experiences, and to have shared experiences you need to run some experiments on yourself, and to run those you need to be open and interested in learning.
If being a doctor is so incredibly hard then why are they allowed to practice after not sleeping for so long?
Wait how do you think hiring is done right now? What do you mean “dedicate a month to hiring”? Once you are senior enough at a company you end up having to interview multiple people a week, plus all the other meetings, scheduling a full day interview, where someone can actually hang out with you for 2 hours is going to require advance notice. And not many candidates want to wait for a month+ for their interviews.
I'm curious. What would you do, host on-prem? Even if I had the hardware, as a pure software person, I have no clue how I'd even start setting up a physical location to serve data on that scale. And even if the people on the NixOS team know, it sounds like their time would be better spent working on NixOS than building & maintaining a data center (even if small). Bare metal storage services seem to be on a similar price level as lower-cost cloud services like Cloudflare or Backblaze, but I'm very interested if you happen to know a cheaper alternative!

Plus, even if you deal with the storage itself, how do you deal with serving the traffic globally? Optimally you'd want a distributed CDN, but that doesn't really sound feasible without the cloud. Would you still use a cloud CDN, or just serve directly from your own server?
It's funny because I actually had to buy app called "Macs fan control" just to get the M1 Pro's fans to spin up. While I also prefer quiet laptop, if I do some heavy tasks, I want it to actually spin up instead of making the case hot. The app is nice because if you pay, you can have quick presets for different fan behaviors and temperature curves. Other than that I usually SSH to a Ryzen workstation to run heavy workloads, but it's useful when that option is not available or not needed.
yeahbutwhatabout the fact that the trial was mostly a sham?

that kind of whataboutism?
Guarulhos and Galeão are international airports in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro respectively.

"The only solution to the Brazilian problems is [leaving through] the airport" is a common trope among disatisfied, angry and fed up Brazilians (and I bet every other problematic country).

Ah yes, the classic argumentative technique: "take the most reasonable and best-presented version of my side's arguments, and contrast with the craziest nutjob version of the other side's arguments." Here, I'll try:

> There is a Grand Canyon of difference between these two that goes well beyond simply "anything one doesn't like":

> 1. " Eliminating ID requirements in left-leaning cities, and extending early voting to before the debates affected the election."

> 2. "Direct high-level collusion between one of the candidates and the Russian Federation, as part of a treasonous plot to overthrow American democracy and cover up the Pee Tape (they'll release it any day now!), stole the election."

> The first are verifiable facts though the conclusion remains speculative.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/trump-or-bide...

> The second is 100% pure made up BS, making the conclusion a summation of BS. You know the second is nonsense when even surreptitious recordings of CNN producers all loudly dismiss 2016 Russia collusion conspiracy theories as pure cow manure. Even Robert Mueller was VERY careful not to assert treason in his report due to the lack of evidence, even in front of a Democratic House of Representatives. Adam Schiff kept saying in front of cameras that there was evidence of widespread collusion. https://thehill.com/homenews/media/339632-new-okeefe-video-s... https://thehill.com/homenews/media/339867-okeefe-video-shows... https://www.politico.com/story/2019/04/21/adam-schiff-collus... https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2017/12/10/adam-schiff-r...

> So yeah, I'd distinguish between the two. The first is speculative based on verifiable evidence while the second is demonstrably misinformation precisely because it lacks any evidence for its far more incendiary claims.

The 2016 election taught me that the institutions I once believed to be respectable and honorable were actually completely dishonest and totally off their rocker. The 2020 election taught me that "my side" was capable of just as much insanity. To fix our problems, we must go beyond blind loyalty to our respective "teams."
Again, it's best not to align planning to political methodologies. Cuba has success stories. That isn't a vote for communism.

Equally, another "communist" state (China) is doing very well and while there is a lot of planning there, there is also a lot of free-market. Again, not a vote for communism.

I use communist in quotes here because Chinese communism is different to communism as practiced in the USSR. Just like capitalism is different in the US compared to say Switzerland.

There are (literally) hundreds of political systems, and we find it helpful to lump them together under broad names, but that can lead to a misunderstanding of the actual system.

Incidentally some planning is necessary- but it remains hard.

Cuba planned for, and got, a fantastic heath system built around primary health care. Cuban doctors are well respected, and are exported all over the world.

Cuba also got a lot wrong, and saying they got something right is not an endorsement of all ideas Cuban.
Super interested. As with most things Apple, the lack of control is infuriating, and I hate how the QR scanner auto visits the scanned link rather than just decoding the data.
That’s not an argument for the death penalty. Are you saying that it’s ok to kill people for whatever reason as long as they’re informed?
Too many white doctors? Have you been to a doctor in the last 15 years?
> As a matter of fact I do, if you read my comments in other threads, before jumping to conclusions without knowing me.

Come on. If you have them formulated, you should have responded with them. It's not that hard.

> Regardless, I flagged your comment since it really doesn’t follow HN etiquette on respectful arguments.

Again, come on. The disrespectful thing is expecting someone to go on a scavenger hunt just to find out what you, some internet rando, should be saying in your half of a conversation thread.

It's also just bizarre for you to note you flagged my comment. Am I supposed feel intimidated or ashamed or something?

My mother always refers to "teenage cats" which is a cat of N years of age which she deems to be somewhere between kitten and full-grown. So sure, why not.

Then there's my niece who refused to be known as a "tween".

I learned relatively recently that "teenager" is a uniquely English phenomenon because of the way we count.
Is there any prediction as to economic efficiency, even with Starship payloads?
If they are revealing themselves now, I'm saying if your culture is acclimated to something for 40 years, it's all they know. Sort of like wandering for 40y in the desert to create a new culture, the outcome is the same, where it's the minimum amount of time for people to not completely freak out from an ontological change as radical as the one represented by said orbs if they were extraterrestrial.

The difference between "aliens invaded us!" and, "those things that were always around? yeah, turns out they were fine." is about 40 years.
I think the forced tracking is half the point.
My experience with PAs and NPs have been mixed. I would still prefer MD doctors if I have a choice.

Now that there are many reasonably good medical education systems outside US, why doesn't US just open more to those international MDs? I would prefer those MDs to NPs or PAs. Maybe doctors' golden years have been passed, but I don't think that necessarily means more accessibility to quality cares.
What’s discriminatory about MCATs?
I thought I’d take a quick look to see what your app offers.

Here’s some feedback:

* On launch, it asks for Camera permission. I declined and the app crashed. Next launch, it opens to the blank screen with a (scan) icon and an Edit option, both on the top right. Tap on the scan icon and the app crashes. Tap on Edit and it changes to Done (there are no previous scans, obviously). It should ideally provide instructions to enable Camera permissions in the Settings app and also say why it needs it and how it’ll be used.

* The App Privacy section for your app declares that it collects usage data and diagnostic data. It would be good to know more details of what’s collected (preferably in the app description). Generally, people wouldn’t expect such a (simple use case) app to collect and transmit information (unless they explicitly ask for it to be done).
Critics of mostly free market systems generally base their argument on a comparison of wealth levels in such systems. They implicitly assume (or don’t care) that in a planned system the total wealth would be the same, just distributed differently. There is little evidence to support this.
When I think of Singapore, I think of “benevolent dictator.” They may mean well (for now), but it’s still authoritarian.
this is amazing. our brain sizes will no longer be limited to the size of our skulls. we can have giant pulsating brain organoid the size of a meat locker with oxygenated hemosynth, glucose, antibiotic, and cooling tubes going in and out of the room. the room is the size of a meat locker but it's non-ferrous. It's actually housed inside of a MegaTesla fMRI that monitors the organoid and this is in fact how the output is read from it. input to the organoid is visual. the organoid's surface is spotted with light-sensitive patches of proto-retinal tissue of varying degrees of organization and development.
I suppose they are worried about losing audience to Twitter, which has both reduced censorship and emphasized video content recently?

There is almost no greater pleasure than having a very difficult problem to solve, or systems to design, then going to do something enjoyable like having a beautiful sleep, swim, or hike and then letting the answer come to you.

There is almost nothing to be done but just wait patiently.
Interestingly, Singapore provides "yellow cards" to foreign prostitutes in an effort to manage the sex trade. It's entirely hush-hush, there are no government websites about it.

- You have to be between 21-35 years of age

- You cannot be Malay or Muslim

- You cannot be Male on your ID card (this includes pre-operative transgender persons)

- You have to be from a list of approved countries (i.e. China, Malaysia, Thailand, etc)

There are organizations that support sex workers in Singapore that you can find out more:

Maybe you tried it a while ago? You can tile unlimited tabs either horizontally or vertically (but not both). I've never found any reason to tile any thing vertically anyway, the web just isn't designed for small horizontal windows.

I use an ultrawide 32" screen and even for window tilling I use PaperWM (technically a Hammerspoon script because PaperWM isn't on MacOS). So I only need to navigate windows/tabs in one dimension (horizontally).

Arc does have the benefits of native UI, Vivaldi at least when I tried a couple of months ago was very janky, presumably because the browser chrome is written in React.

Somewhere in this thread people mentioned Stack browser which is actually closer to PaperWM in terms of how it tiles tabs. For both Arc and Vivaldi it's very annoying if you resize (going fullscreen and back) windows with tiles because the size of the tiles gets messed up. Stack just keeps the size and make them scrollable.
Yes an awful lot of civilians died after the war for numerous reasons. People rarely talk about it.
This article is based on reading (some) government reports, not on actual experience reports from medical schools, funding (which has increase), etc. Still, it's an important issue and set of data.

It's not unreasonable given the training investment to err on the side of avoiding wasted education, and fill gaps with less-trained people.

The physician/patient ratio is not a good measure of service availability. Some would say US doctors are more productive.

The alternative is not more doctors, but more "advanced practice" providers - Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants (or Associates). Their numbers have increased dramatically, and they have taken over anything routine and many ancillary functions of complex cases. PA schools in particular have proliferated, and produced an over-supply of PA's, who depend entirely on having a supervising physician. NP's by contrast benefit from the long history of unionization in nursing, have taken over management in many cases, and restrict the supply at the school level. Overall they top out at what doctors start at, even with decades of experience. It's good for young professionals, but there's not a lot of headroom.

As for dependence on foreign schools, the US has more foreign graduates in every field, and most have been hired into hospital systems as a way of combating medical practice groups.

The independent medical practice groups almost completely died out, as hospital systems refused to contract out to practices, and instead hired doctors as employees so they could control costs. Recently with private equity targeting specific local monopolies, you're getting specialty practices in radiology, anesthesiology, cardiology (mostly stenting) and now even GI, where the same private equity firm coordinates everyone in a geographical area (and pursues a number of dark-billing practices). There may be small internal practice in the hospital for poor people to get middling care, but the good doctors go into the practice groups.

Access to care comes down to logistics (terrible IT) and PCP's being used to reduce care. They hate it, which is why those who can avoid primary care.

The other side of supply is loss. Doctors are leaving the profession at a high rate because they're not really doing medicine (and they can afford to leave). They need better systems and adjuncts and more sensitive administration.
Yeah, that was an unfortunate typo.
There exists no AMD alternative to CUDA. How is this a “gimmick”?
You're right. It's been noticed. There are regulatory initiatives (in the U.S.) to address that for doctors. Also for pilots of passenger aircraft.
Can you switch between just 2 windows (current and most recent) in hammerspoon while holding (and not releasing) an arbitrary modifier key and tapping some other arbitrary key?
I’m married to a doctor. My opinion is training level generally needs to correlate to the level of acuity.

Surgeons will always need to be extremely highly trained because they do not have the ability to hesitate. Most of healthcare simply isn’t anywhere near the acuity level of surgery.

By far, the biggest need is primary care. The exact opposite of acute. The rigor, effort, and expense of medical school simply doesn’t match modern primary care. Either the system needs to change to accommodate that or physicians are in for a reckoning.

Physician lobbies have a golden opportunity to ensure even higher pay and better product by building better care models. Instead they simple say “fuck your I got mine”
>This is my big gripe with the intellectual crowd - because they want to be smart solely for being smart's sake so they'll sacrifice the due diligence it takes to correctly solve a problem in order to "get further" and appear smarter, and it misleads a lot of people on what true intelligence is.

That's a remarkable generalization. In reference to the article, perhaps you should have thought longer about it.
correct: there IS tabs/groups pinning, just no extensions support, for now.
The alliance failed from day 1 since they were also supposed to declare war on the soviets and not just Germany since they were supposed to protect the integrity of Poland which was violated by both Germany and Russia.

again something nobody talks about.
> While free speech and access to information is almost always a good thing, people raised with western values should not overlook that the east does things a little differently; not all countries started from the same place and lifting people out of hardship is the primary goal

It’s deeper than that. Generally, asian cultures place a higher value on community and thus have a lower tolerance for antisocial behavior. That same communalism also means they tend to place a lower value on individual life. Hence death penalties for people engaging in antisocial behavior.

It might not be your cup of tea, but Asians tend to think that their “well manicured garden” is desirable. In my view it’s far better than say San Francisco—the embodiment of European individualism taken to its logical conclusion—where you’re stepping over needles and human feces to get to work.
The data validation concern seems fair enough.

> Almost all application programming languages use utf16 anyway, (javascript, c#, swift, Java)

Swift 5 switched to UTF-8: https://www.swift.org/blog/utf8-string/. I’m hopeful that other UTF-16 environments might eventually manage to switch to UTF-8 internally despite retaining some UTF-16 code unit semantics for compatibility; two projects have already demonstrated you can very practically do this sort of thing: Servo from fairly early on (WTF-8 despite the web’s UTF-16 code unit semantics), and PyPy since 7.1 (UTF-8 despite code point semantics, not sure what they do about surrogate code points). I know the web has largely backed away from UTF-16 and uses code point semantics (well, scalar values plus loose surrogates) on almost all new stuff, with good UTF-8 support too.
I don't want to derail the thread by getting into that; you can ask people from Ukraine to Cambodia to Indonesia to Latin America about the real-world effects of his brand of realpolitik. He's a big fan of placating dictators and invaders by ceding other peoples' territory to them.
I watched Lucifer Rising when I was a teenager because some of my Tumblr friends recommended it to me. While I can't say I took much away from it other than it looked cool, I'll always have some fond memories of that time associated with it.
I was very confused when I saw that.
I have a theory about the origin of UFOs: Given the Drake equation, and improbability of aliens deciding to travel thousands - millions of years to specifically this lone planet at less than the speed of light, and then making the mistake of being totally detectable despite having better technology by hundreds or thousands of years, I suspect that UFOs are in fact terrestrial.

I had read about the Silurian hypothesis recently, which states that it's extremely hard to detect evidence of a past civilization: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silurian_hypothesis
Can it be that these metallic spheres are remnants, either AI or non-carbon-based lifeforms from a past civilization? It's all speculation at this point, but I'm starting to find this theory more plausible.
Most germans POW in Russia were never returned back to their country after the war and died in russian camps.
Medicare and most insurance strictly control this.

But the industry benefits from a constrained supply of doctors because it means less competition; laws ultimately require doctors to be in charge of a practice. Some laws are now even restricting the number of PA/NP's that can be supervised, but it's not a strong effect.

Some states permit NP's to practice without a physician, but PA's all require a supervising physician.
It could be 2 or 4 but they pick 3 because it will be faster and less upsetting for people to eventually return to office 5 days a week, which is the goal here.

What makes it more ridiculous in this case is that "virtual human interactions" is literally embedded in their name.
Thank you, I started reading it tomorrow
Just a matter of business deals -- but Su "played a prominent role" in those deals, at least according to Wikipedia. Those deals kept AMD alive.
It's fun to see these continue. The HTML5 parser and web browser project will be interesting to see develop.
Using the pricing from your other comment and the numbers from the parent, if I estimate correctly, Storj comes in at about $8k/month? That's cheaper than AWS (considering there are no CDN costs), roughly on the same level as Cloudflare and Backblaze, but still more than the entirety of NixOS Foundation's (monthly) incoming funds in 2022.
