Quite the opposite. They tend to be under capitated contracts with insurers, which means they are responsible for the costs of services they provide, but receive a flat amount for reimbursements. This explicitly encourages underutilization of care.
This is excellent but also galaxy brain level. Not something that's ready for popular digestion, given the levels of basic science denial that have popped up post COVID, even among supposedly empirical communities like tech.

Eventually if this gains more predictive power then it can be merged with germ theory and explained better to the public.

Solid is an inherently bad idea. It undermines its own data sovereignty goals by encouraging a design where you grant access to your data to outside servers instead of requiring your data be processed on trustworthy servers. The only reason it would make sense compared to self-hosting or decentralized hosting of applications, is if you are primarily concerned with allowing proprietary apps to do things to your data without your ability to inspect or monitor them.

Just because a guy comes up with a good thing once doesn't mean his next thing needs to be covered ad nauseum on his personal brand name alone.

I was in your situation 15 years ago. I graduated with low grades. I was hired as a designer for a small company that no longer exists, but really I was writing code. A year later I was picked up by Travelocity the travel company. They hired me as a designer as well, but after 3 months of doing no work I was involuntarily reassigned to a developer position. I just figured it out, because I enjoy not starving.

So here are the problems I frequently encounter as a self taught developer:

1) Compatibility. As a self-taught and frequent open source developer I value the no bullshit approach because I would rather do something else with my time. That generally means not revisiting the same problems over and over, which typically describes durability over convenience and reuse over patterns. Most CS developers don't want any of that as they primarily look for patterns familiar to those taught to them at school, which is generally some form of OOP. For many developers when familiar patterns are absent the first priority is to introduce familiar patterns at the expense of everything else. Sometimes people invest so much effort into these sorts of imaginary problems that they are incapable of imagining actual real problems. Joel Spolsky calls these people "architect astronauts", but I just call them expert beginners.

2) Confidence. As a long time military guy you always act with confidence. Always. When you have no idea what you are doing you then make the least wrong decision to continue moving forward because as you move forward you will learn more and your decisions will get better. Most self-taught developers just tend to do this naturally because its what they are used to. Most developers I have worked with do not do this at all ever. Initiative only applies if there is some level of comfort. Generally across the board software as an employment displays extremely high insecurity. If you are insecure in your abilities as developer then you are right there with more than half your peers. This is another indicator of friction, because people gripped with internal fear who don't have somebody putting intense pressure upon them to drive forward will primarily act in their own self interest. This one thing scares the shit out of me more than anything else in software employment.

3) Automation. The only purpose of software is automation. Software solves no other problem, but it does do a lot of other things exceptionally poorly. Self taught developers tend to at least be vaguely aware of this, because they are learning on their own time. Many CS graduates somehow believe the goal is something else. Typically that something else is what they wished software was, as though they are a small child describing how they want to be the president or an astronaut when they grow up. When you are confused about the purpose of the thing you touch for hours every day you will be likewise confused about what the output is, how to go about it, how to perceive risk, what the rewards should be, and what to do with changes.

I've been talking about this for some years as well, but mostly without that audience of news professionals. I absolutely agree with your assessment that people won't be going back to that model of getting one subscription to pre-select what they can see that was the way in the paper age. Perhaps that could be the future if a past in which the decades of ad-funded free online news had never happened (I include "let's have an attractive web presence to lure people to our paper subscription" in ad-funded), but now that we are spoiled by having been able to read through the full political spectrum of publishers (and from every nation where they also write something in English), paying a subscription feels like paying to narrow access and that's just not very attractive.

What I imagine as an unlikely best-case model for reader-funded news isn't "spotify for news", but a "spotify for news without spotify": a step back to the print age where you'd have exactly one news subscription (unless you were particularly rich), but with what might be called reverse syndication, a profit share access scheme where every publisher acts as a spotify for its competitors. Provide proof of subscription with publication A to get a well-defined level of access at publications B,C and D, with a fixed part of the subscription fee divided amongst peers. The exact level of access would have to be well-defined of course, to prevent abusive strategies, but it could be something noticeably below "home subscription" (not ad-free perhaps?) but clearly above the free tier.

The main source of power for early radios in pre-rural electrification 1930s West Texas: small windmills that charged batteries for them - the wind is almost always blowing in West Texas. Zenith Radio Windcharger was the main type I remember seeing at the American Windmill Museum in Lubbock, a must-see if you find yourself in Lubbock for some reason.

On that note, learning CW (Morse Code) well enough to understand it by ear would be one my technical priorities if I were seriously worried about civilizational collapse, as well as more about early (pre-transistor) radio technology.
> The draft legislation defines misinformation as material that is unintentionally “false, misleading or deceptive” and is “reasonably likely to cause serious harm”

The usual trick of "false and harmful" lets whoever decides what is "harm" tilt the scales to their benefit. Inevitably, falsehoods that help their politics will be seen as less harmful than falsehoods that harm it. That's before it gets applied to statements of opinion, like "policy X will help/hurt our country".

Uh, that’s pretty much the definition of single-payer, at least as commonly used.

From Wikipedia:
Single-payer healthcare is a type of universal healthcare in which the costs of essential healthcare for all residents are covered by a single public system (hence "single-payer").

The difference here being the US has a fractured system, with several government systems (but from the same government). Medicare for All would be try single payer.

I agree that the author's framing of having random Twitch streams be "news" because somebody might learn something they didn't is absurd, and the essay relies so heavily on this idea that it is basically unsalvageable.

But...

> News is a newsroom reporting on things of interest.

This doesn't feel right either. It's... not quite circular, but nearly so. It's basically saying there's a single specific historical organizational structure that can produce news, and nothing else. Sure, if you want to provide a steady torrent of news on a huge variety of subjects, you need that huge edifice of journalists, editors, support personel, etc. But why does the same organization need to be producing all the news? What makes the writings of a single individual on a single subject and following reasonable journalistic practices not news?
Not an expert on Oregonian law, but my theory is that Oregon's motor vehicle law references the federal NHTSA regulations, and Kei vehicles laughably don't meet them (exterior lighting, crash performance, theft resistance, emissions, and so on).

ChatGPT's responses have begun to remind me of that trope where the kid who hasn't read the book has to give a book report in front of the class, and masterfully espouses these vague generalities.

"Catcher in the Rye is a book by a person named J.D. Salinger. It is about a person who catches things in the rye. It was written long ago. Every person should read this book. It has many good things about it, but it is too short for such a fantastic American classic. They should make a movie out of it."

This seems like a weird way of US states attempting to enforce their own local interpretation of federal laws and not laws that actually exist as state code. Anything that's over 25 years old is specifically exempt from federal FMVSS. If it's under 25 years old you can't legally import it anyways for use on US roads (with title, etc).

People do import <25 year old kei type vehicles for use exclusively on private property on large ranches and such.

You nailed all the limitations of this app (and others like it) on the head :) The reality is that there will probably never be a foolproof way to understand our consumption/nutrition habits 100%, so my goal with this was to make it easier to understand at a high level what was in my groceries (that didn't require individual scans of each product).

I'm sure most chains have the purchase tracking for ads/marketing, but not sure how their data incorporates nutritional/ingredient data (if at all).
Fair point - my hasty response was over the top. I was thinking of someone whose likeness had been scanned being 'made to appear' as something like an SS soldier in a WW2 movie.
Thinking about it a bit more, it's not just that your code can be re-used in ways you haven't anticipated, but that you'll never get to code again - in that one day, all the code you could potentially write had been expressed, and there was no need to ever hire you personally again to code anything.
Sadly it is an over-funded (1) company that, it seems, didn't know how to pull back to cash flow positiveness when the music stopped. The bikes, meanwhile, are pretty but aside from the online tracking etc. (now an issue) there are far better options out there, especially for practical day to day travel.

The lesson for the sector is clear - make the economics work because funding rounds need to be based in reality, at least for now.

> The Ventris system thus set forth has been widely accepted by Greek scholars, including many of the highest eminence, in many countries. It has also been widely rejected by scholars of eminence, in varying degrees.

> These Ventrisian rules enable bits of a curious sort of Greek to be got out of Lin[ear] B texts; but experiments have shown that bits of English or Latin or other tongues, when spelt out in syllables according to the Ventrisian system, are capable often of yielding bits of Greek just as plausible as anything in the Ventris-Chadwick Documents volume. One eminent Oxonian, dining at a high table, amused himself by taking the names of the Fellows of the College present and turning them into Ventrisian syllables, from which he made a new translation of them into Greek, in which they all turned out to be Greek gods.

Here we have two specimens of the labio-velars, the syllables with q-, discovered by Ventris, to the astonishment of philologists who had not expected to find them in Bronze Age Greek. qe is, of course, equivalent to Latin -que, Greek te, while qi doubtless here shows the development to a voiced dental noted by Ventris and Chadwick in their "Mycenaean Vocabulary,"

> The Greek evaluation of the sentence would be, according to Ventris's spelling rules, halmai wiluite kainōs Tholoiai Diphilimus apolis: "With brine and slime in novel fashion at Tholoia (the place of tholoi, beehive tombs) Diphilimus (is) cityless." No doubt this is a record of a Bronze Age tidal wave.
