IIRC about 40 percent of all medical expenses are administrative costs and about 20 percent is drug costs. Improving those could drop healthcare costs by nearly half, without lowering healthcare salaries.

To lower medical salaries, we need to address (a) the AMA acting as a cartel, (b) residency slots being paid for by Medicare and being limited, and (c) crippling student debt problems. As an example, nurse practitioner salaries have dropped as supply has increased.
Sure; I guess it depends if we're talking about a web site or a web app.

> To me, the reason most people choose liars as leaders is because they prefer comfortable falsehoods to hard truths. Decisions aren't driven by self interest of material benefit, but rather the ego boost of what makes them feel smart/superior/etc. This also applies to nuance that would make people think, which is why for every political topic in the US, the mainstream opinions are invariably based around some ignorant groupthink.

“People” don’t see the reality but you do—huh.
Not me. It's usually vote for the person on the ballot or not at all. Either way, the person wins and could not care less what my stance is. In the rare instances there is a choice, the ordained person usually wins. In the even rarer case the non-ordained person wins, they flip and carry on the status quo they claimed to be fighting.
I somewhat dislike the line of Kafka commentary that focuses on The Trial and The Castle and then associates their bureaucratic themes with his own life experience working various office jobs.

One, because his writing is about much more than this theme (in which kafkesque is too frequently confused/mixed with Orwellian) but more because it pushes away his short stories and aphorisms, which I think are much, much better than his longer works – and more mystical and mysterious in nature. I'd take A Hunger Artist, In the Penal Colony, or some of the aphorisms from the Zürau book over his more famous works any day.

It's unfortunate that writers tend to be known for a single "brand" which causes off-brand works to be pushed to the side.

This is all a long way of saying that if you associate Kafka entirely with insurance administrators and oppressive bureaucracies and don't find this compelling, check out his shorter works.

Yeah, it is probably helpful to be aware, that quite often the person you are complaining to, knows the flaws of the system way better than you, but is equally powerless to change anything about it.

But sometimes they can do something that helps you, so it often helps to not treat them like they are personally responsible for everything, just because they work there.

There may be a tipping point where you're burning XXM/year in API costs and the maintenance cost of rolling your own can be justified.

In the short term I agree, and one thing to consider is how rapidly the space is evolving and whether your team can even keep up with the latest advancements.

However, there will come a time when the bill comes due after launch and it will be very tempting to hire people to reduce the CapEx on the API.

The main use case highlighted here seems to be retrieving quantitative data from financial reports and then doing sophisticated analysis (trendlines, forecasting etc) using ChatGPT (basically what’s currently done in Excel).

I doubt any finance professional would want to move from Excel to ChatGPT for these use cases.

A secondary issue is that numbers in financial reports need to be standardized before they can be used for analysis - say comparing ROE of a stock with industry average. That’s not possible with numbers from raw reports.

> how do we rank differences in terms of dependency and addictiveness

They are somewhat confusing terms, but important to understand if you want to have a critical conversation about the subject.

Dependency relates to the physical symptoms of withdrawal; i.e. whether it is safe to stop and how to manage it. Many medications need to be tapered down before stopped to not harm someone, despite the person not being addicted to them, i.e. not craving more when they stop. If drugs merely caused dependency and not addictiveness, detox might be required but people would be able to stop anytime they wanted. Addiction is more how hard it is to stop, once you want to. Some people become addicted to alcohol, but most don't. Comparatively, few if any people can avoid addiction to heroine once begun.

> If addiction is such a problem, shouldn't we make it as cheap and as safe as possible?

Cheaper, more available highly addictive drugs is the source of the current crisis. I am pro legalization given the right framework of supportive services around it, but it has to be realistic (especially cost wise). Oregon's current plan is very far from realistic; its creating a destination for the countries addicts, without enough services to support their current ones. They are going to exhaust people's goodwill and likely backpedal having caused more harm than benefit.

> I don’t get what I want so I don’t play at all” no

It’s not “I don’t get what I want so I don’t play” it’s “The outcome doesn’t change if I play or don’t, so I’ll just live my life and do something else”.

I can tell you exactly which party is going to win local elections near me, and in many cases which candidate because I know the demographics and general zeitgeist of the area. If I’m part of that zeitgeist, it doesn’t matter if I vote or note because I get the outcome I want either way. If I’m not, then it also doesn’t matter because no action by me is going to magically change anything. In national election, I have no interest in picking between thing 1 and thing 2, they’ll both fuck me over anyway, perhaps in different way.

Maybe if you live in a highly contested swing state or area it’s worth it to vote.

The second point — ability to wrap `unsafe` code in safe APIs — is especially important.

Ability to isolate high-risk "hold my beer" code from boring glue code has many nice side effects.

In a team, you can agree who can write and review `unsafe` code, and not be afraid that your junior team members will cause some horror heisenbug (there can always be other types of higher-level bugs in safe code, but safe code doesn't cause them, you'd have them anyway, on top of memory issues).

People often move abstractions built from unsafe code (like clever data structures, concurrency primitives, OS or C library wrappers) into separate crates. This makes it easier to thoroughly test and fuzz just the unsafe code, without having to test a larger project as a whole (once you ensure your safe API is indeed upholding safety invariants, the compiler will prove all uses of that code are safe too).

iCloud Private Relay uses a variety of third parties for their network connectivity. If it's working fine, you might be going out via Fastly or someone else. The person who it's not working for is likely getting Cloudflare.

With iCloud Private Relay, it sometimes works for me and sometimes doesn't depending on which CDN's system I'm using at the time.

edns-client-subnet only provides an IP address; the receiving CDN still needs to geolocate it.

So the main difference is that Cloudflare's servers need to be present in the IP geolocation database. Given their prevalence, they're probably in most of them already.

SerpApi needs to improve their hiring process, I've also seen others complain here on HN, where they would give you a software engineering test and just go silent after it's done.

Not even a rejection email, and when you reach out to recruiters/other software engineers there is always radio silence

If you chose Rust because you want speed that comes with natively compiled code, and you want optimal performance, in general you will probably come across a place where you need to dereference pointers without anything extra running.
This really isn't the same thing because you know how stores work. The whole argument here is that these websites aren't being upfront about what they expect from you. If you said "sign up for a free account and you can get some samples" we walk into the situation with eyes open and that is not what this article is complaining about.

This is why I want a browser where I can use Reader Mode on everything. Not just articles and blogs but also forums, q&a sites, online stores, image galleries, video sites.

Because of this I don't bet on the web because it's really designed to be an app framework now (admittedly the best one) not for being a simple client that sends and receives data (like XMPP, SIP, IRC, SMTP, IMAP and NNTP).
While that is true, European universities are generally not dependent on bribes from rich families so they are not incentivized to prioritize rich kids. Rich kids still have an easier path but the discrimination happens at an earlier level than university admission.

When you talk about inexplicable voter behavior, Trump is at the top of my list by a mile. I'd say Bush was worse in terms of outcomes, but you could at least understand how mania over terrorism lead to a lot of bad decisions. I actually think most of the Bush admin believed they were doing the right things and not lying at all. Trump is a whole different beast. He lies like he breaths. Makes up facts that aren't even relevant. Says things in direct opposition to observable reality. Denies saying things he said on camera a week earlier. His hand-modified hurricane map was both trite and shocking at the same time. I personally do not understand his appeal to anyone at all and would love for a political scientist to tell me something new.
Still not a great study...when you say its "cost to charge" but include incidentals like EV registration fees you might as well look at the total cost of ownership and call it that. Throw oil changes in and other maintenance for ICE vehicles...don't just do it lopsided.

Not to mention they added completely unrelated costs like "time prices" for how long EVs take to charge: Hourly wage at a $70,000 annual salary: The average hourly wage foran individual earning $70,000 annually is about $33. This implies a fueling time cost of around $100 per month for an EV driver, and $30for an ICE drive (page 42 of their report).
(Throwaway for obvious reasons.)

Hey friend I was in this situation until recently. A decade of trying to stop smoking and drinking wore me down and I’d given up trying. As long as I could get it, I would.

Im sure you are familiar with the seductive compulsion that results in the daily cycle... that feeling that more is always better and yes of course you want some right now even though it’s probably not a good idea and oh whoops I’m high/buzzed already so might as well keep going.

I’m happy to say that feeling is now completely gone. Eradicated like it never existed. I still enjoy the experience just the same, but “that feeling” of, idk, thirst-like need I guess? That became suddenly and totally absent.

What worked for me was my first experience with Psilocybin. I was surprised, likeI said I’d given up trying to quit but was always thinking about it.

I did not take enough to have noticeable visual effects. The experience was more like an extremely lucid drunk. It comes in waves, and each wave took me out of my own perspective long enough for some real talk with myself. Identifying the Skinner box was part of it: seeing myself wanting and responding like a rat. Seeing with new clarity what it really does to me, not how I view it internally though the filter of my self-deluding stories.

All this to say, I hope you can find what I found; the ‘grass’ really is greener on the other side of addiction. I’ve smoked and drank since then without relapse—no continued use after the social event, and no desire to. Good luck internet stranger, my heart is with you and there is hope.
Yes, we do! There is a procedure code and corresponding rate for each type of medical procedure/service that can be done, and that includes ER visits. For example, when I went to the ER for an ankle issue, I was billed for https://www.aapc.com/codes/cpt-codes/99284 which had a corresponding rate of $1072.50 for my insurance.

So we can predict what the cost of the visit is. However, emergency care is much more difficult to predict the total cost of in terms of what gets done during the visit. For my visit, I also had x-ray imaging done, but it can be more difficult to predict the full scope of services that could be done during an ER visit.

So it is something we plan to address later. But it should be a tractable problem that we plan to solve.
I wish I knew a good answer - this is an excellent concern. I'm skeptical of recyclers/waste centers, but that's what I've got.
Tangentially, various network providers (eg. some mobile networks) block access to some archive sites (particularly the Internet Archive as it's the most well known one) on the basis of them containing adult/pirated content.
> Anything surgical is typically billed against a dozen or more CPT codes for a single procedure and often involves more than one provider.

This is the real startup gap. There are thousands of CPT codes. When a medical provider is trying to give an estimate, it should be easy for Medical providers to have packaged, template CPT codes for template procedures. Then, they should be able to add/remove CPT codes from the package (like drag and drop), and the prices should change automatically.

The template packages could even be put on a social marketplace for doctors so that the information is shared.
While archive.is' reaction is questionable (and even then, its their own server and can do whatever they want with it) this blog post is throughout Cloudflare advertising. The CEO used the scenario to their advantage very cleverly, but this blog post could describe all of that without constantly reminding how wonderful CF is.
thanks very much, I'll be glad if I hear that someone uses this as a learning material in the future.
This makes a lot of sense, and this comment should be higher.

The other comments that only present the Cloudflare side of the situation make it sound like the archive.is owner was being unreasonable, but as we see there is more to it!

I personally tried to use 1.1.1.1 as my resolver a couple of years ago but I use archive.is a lot.

Regardless of who is “at fault”, not being able to access archive.is is a dealbreaker for me so I quickly stopped using 1.1.1.1

But Cloudflare has a lot of other things that work well for me.
