When you login into capitaliq or factset or look at a bloomberg screen, you access data, you can then do the same here. Excel plugins go on top which can then get this data into excel to build models. The api that powers this app, can also send data into excel for instance.

You are indeed reading the chart incorrectly.

That and not enough pushback from devs. Devs, of all people, should be the ones advocating for their customers.
Good question - so the problem we're focused on solving and that we've personally experienced is surprise medical bills, which generally only happen if you have health insurance. The Transparency in Coverage Rule that went into effect in July 2022 is the unlock to solving this since it required all insurance companies to publish prices in public machine readable JSON files that could be ingested.

Medical tourism is definitely something we'd want to eventually add, though that pricing data is not accessible in one place like the insurance company data, so it seems to be a bit harder starting place.

With that said, you are absolutely correct that CAC is probably the biggest challenge with this marketplace. Healthcare is generally infrequent and unpredictable (unlike travel or groceries). But the market is huge (probably biggest in the US), and there's only been one company that's made any kind of dent in becoming a consumer marketplace (Zocdoc). Our hope/belief is that being the first place to allow consumers to see prices creates the product-market fit to lower that CAC and gain traction over time, but time will tell!
I'd like to see instances where it fails. to understand it's limits.
For what it's worth: references in Rust (both `&` and `&mut`) are just pointers with stronger static (compile time only) analysis. They have zero runtime impact vs raw pointers.

Even heap allocations like `Box` are still just pointers, that have destructors that run when they fall out of scope, but access is just a pointer dereference, the same as you could do with unsafe.

It wasn't shame. It was age restrictions, banning smoking in most public spaces, addiction acknowledgement and smoking cessation resources, public health awareness campaigns, and increased taxation. "Shaming" smokers was just the cultural byproduct in the change in smoking, and arguably a negative one.
Pretty much expect the Mini to end up this way within a few generations. Somebody in the Mac team really hates wall warts, but given all their other hardware is going USB-C one would think they’d want to standardize & eliminate the space/heat of the internal power supply.

Re: overhead—I think the compiler helps a ton here, but I do think that it makes a lot of memory-related concerns explicit where they are usually implicit, and dealing with lifetimes can be quite burdensome. Now: I also think that those concerns still exist when you're using other systems-level languages, and that the tradeoff therefore often ends up looking like "Deal with it up front, or deal with it on hard mode later."

I personally don't think this can be a long lasting trade or profession if it is a thing as you question.

Ideally the language models should understand a question that is not really well formed. Like how Google can understand the queries that lack a ton of context but can figure it out.
Sounds like a way to launder money. Make lots of small bounties everyone ignores and run bots that vote you into a match. Hell you don't even need the bots if nobody else is trying to match you; just need a few votes. Ignore the match and collect a clean bounty.

Like others said, crowds paying out and receiving money lacks accountability.
> What do you mean shame doesn’t work? America is a country that literally can’t reproduce itself without importing people from countries where mothers shame children for not having children in a timely manner.

Not sure why you are trying to invoke shame for something that is a well-known effect of economic conditions, and which has been observed to change with those conditions much faster than (and likely driving rather than driven by) cultural change.

> America had 100,000 people die of drug overdoses last year, whereas societies that shame people for drug use have far lower rates of overdoses.

So do countries that shame people less, like most of the rest of the developed world.

> Middle eastern and south Asian countries that shame people for pre-marital sex largely managed to avoid the AIDS epidemic that gripped similarly poor countries in other regions.

Which is some good luck for them, but one of the reasons it spread so much and i nterventions were so difficult jn Africa was strongly shame-centering cultures interfering with both prevention and treatment (and even acknowledging the fact and nature of the problem.) So, kind of not helping your argument.

Wouldn't you have to decrease spending on admin and drugs up to 10x which would likely bring US well below the costs in most/all other rich c

I'm not sure how feasible it would be to reduce admin and drug costs by almost 10x?

Edit: to be fair 10x might not that far-fetched as I might have thought, admin costs are massively higher than anywhere else:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1264127/per-capita-healt...

I'd assume the way they measure it might differ significantly between some countries. Also ~1000 is just 10% of per capita spending in the US.

If we look at drugs:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/266141/pharmaceutical-sp...

The gap is quite a bit smaller. Also in total drugs+admin seem to be about 25% or so?

Yes.

It’s pretty common to need to interact with existing APIs or libraries that only have a c interface.

Fortunately, rust is good at that.

Unfortunately, it’s impossible to do without unsafe code.

You can wrap libraries in safe wrappers, or if you’re lucky someone has a wrapper you can use…

…but I’ve heard it several times for this reason, especially in shops that have existing internal code bases (Ie. 0% chance of an existing safe wrapper) and want to incrementally adopt rust.

Never heard someone say it’s because of perf tho; that sounds like a strawman argument to me; if your code is seriously too slow because of the bounds checking you’re doing something crazy and probably want to be using a gpu instead.

It’s usually io bound, and unsafe code doesn’t fix that.

These are called NEET (not in education, employment, or training) in the west with a similarly large populace. I don't think we can attribute this to just Japan. Canada also has a NEET population problem.

I would rather attribute this to the rigors of society which doesn't allow for different development paths. Adulthood is a hard transition and some people need more time or different structures than others, but society doesn't allow for that. In the past these people would be vagrants until they "settled down" and could somewhat easily re-integrate back to society (employment as a stablehand could go to ferrier, horse trainer, or other land management). Now, with the need for specialization and training paired with age expectations, there's much less room.

It's only reasonable to decide your window is missed and therefore there's nothing for you.
They probably mean dynamic.
Sugar can be problematic, but those rat studies are quite contrived. They follow an intermittent fasting schedule where rats don't have access to any food for 12 straight hours of each day and then they are presented with the option for unlimited sugar drink for a period, with this cycle repeated for weeks to get the reported results. If the rats have 24/7 access to the sugar drink they don't develop all these addict-like behaviors. Such research can be mechanistically interesting for biologists but I don't think it says much about how we ought to assess human behavior in practice.

Here is a review article discussing in more detail relevant literature on evidence for/against sugar addiction: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5174153/
Certainly questions remain, but I think it's pretty clear sugar and cocaine are not actually in the same stratosphere here.

In the context of a human raised in isolation by orangutan-like primates on a deserted planet, their intelligence would likely adapt uniquely for survival. However, without exposure to human culture, language, and technology, certain cognitive aspects might be limited compared to those raised in our society. The role of artificial intelligence, while not directly applicable in this scenario, underscores the importance of human cultural and technological influences in shaping well-rounded intelligence.

What else did you expect? It was wartime.

Controlling the propaganda and information and not letting the enemy direct their narrative was something each government wanted to fully own regardless of the outcome to civilians, even the allies:

The Londoners were told that the V2 rockets landing on their heads were "gas explosions" because it was better for population morale them not know the enemy has such advanced long range strike capabilities as that would increase fear and lower morale and we're less likely to support long time war attrition with this knowledge.

Same with the Japanese, why would they parrot the enemy narrative to the population, especially that until after the bomb blast was examined, Japan didn't believe that the US already had a nuclear weapon so soon.

It's odd that the article does not mention that Hikikomori syndrome is a disproportionately male phenomenon. Most estimates put it comfortably above 75%, with a 65%-85% tolerance range. Extreme Social withdrawal isn't an exclusively male problem, but it is hard to ignore its disproportionate impact on men.

I don’t work on server code, and I think a lot of discussions are really focused on server-side work. I have done desktop, mobile, and developer tools (CLIs and “scripts”).

If I was working on a server thing Kotlin would seem really good. In my work it is obviously applicable to Android, but not so much elsewhere.

I think Rust is nearly perfect for developer CLIs, you don’t really need to deal with the thorny memory and lifetime stuff because most things are allocated on the stack and the entire program is synchronous. clap is very good. Performance, especially startup performance, is incredible.

For anybody new or returning to SSS, check out SLIP-0039: https://github.com/satoshilabs/slips/blob/master/slip-0039.m...

One of the big downsides of SSS is that it’s very raw and you have to do a lot of legwork to make it actually useable. For instance, you can sss_combine any arbitrary polynomial coefficients and get a result, you don’t know if the reconstituted data is correct until you try to use it. Implementations can vary in the finite field chosen because SSS doesn't specify one, and not all are equal and they are not interchangeable (coefficients from one don’t work in another). Another issue is that it’s susceptible to collusion. It’s rightfully criticized for its shortcomings and the argument follows the don’t roll your own crypto vein. SSS is like handing a dev XOR and telling them “now go encrypt things”.

SLIP39 solves this by formalizing a protocol for handling SSS splits built atop standards for crypto key serialization (BIP-39). SLIP defines a standard finite field (used when interpreting the polynomial coefficients), SLIP shards are unique on each generation so parties with the same underlying SSS shard can’t compare mnemonics, they’re mnemonically serialized for humans, and they have a checksum and group index metadata which makes a more sane UX possible when combining. SLIP also describes a two layer setup so you can manage trust by cordoning people off into groups to help litigate collusion.
