1. Good luck finding a startup, especially a VC-backed one (which for this kind of market I would expect is a borderline necessity), that isn't going to charge at least this much if not more per transaction.

2. Would their customer be the insurer or the doctor? If it's the doctor, I can't see insurers wanting to reimburse anyone other than the doctor. If it's the insurer, why would they farm out their billing to this third party when they already have the capability, and it's clearly lucrative?

3. Medicine in general is ripe for disruption, but it's so heavily regulated that eats into a lot of the potential profits from any service provider. Everything is an enterprise contract negotiation and the technical talent leaves pretty quickly when they see how slow everything moves. I've worked with large hospital systems that were still running Windows 7. Recently.

You don't need to do any wheel building yourself. You can buy the hub motor pre-installed in a wheel. Simply purchase the proper diameter wheel for your frame. The only aspect to keep in mind is to get the right sized motor for your frame. Too many people chase the "big number" hub motor wheel, picking up a 3KW or 5KW motor, and installing it on a frame that will shake itself apart, or a frame that isn't made to travel at 40MPH/60KMH with brakes incapable of handling that speed. If you do end up purchasing just a hub motor, and want to fit it to your current wheel, find a good bike shop that does wheel rebuilds, and have them put the motor in for you and tension the spokes. Takes like an hour of their time. My old motor is 500watt, which gets me a top speed of around 18MPH/30KPH on the flat and a 15 mile range. I am contemplating going to a 1KW motor. Eventually. Maybe.

The SGPT model is a very high performing text embeddings model adapted from a decoder. Using the same techniques with Llama-2 might perform better than you expect. I think someone will need to try these things before we know for certain. I believe there is still room for significant improvement with embedding models.
Fair points! I did say Axis powers (to include Japan).

I think though, that the average Brit did not care so much about Poland. It was clear by that point that Hitler intended to take all of Europe and the exact event that triggered it was maybe not so important. After all it's not like France was wrong to declare war - it was obvious that they were going to be next.
> Basically, it's "We've never seen true Communism in action"; whether that statement is said seriously (as actually has been done elsewhere in this discussion (!))

We’ve seen capitalism done better and worse in various countries, many times dissolving into dictatorship or fascism, and usually built on the backs of a downtrodden group (a racial minority, a migrant population, outsourced indentured labour, etc.). The idea the handful of attempts at communism (all while being besieged by the capitalist nations around them) shows that communism is a bad idea, is just as laughable as the idea that capitalism always succeeds.

So, not sure that’s exactly what you’re (!)-ing about here, but the truly intellectually curious position is not to oppose communism, but to wonder if there is a way to achieve its noble goals while avoiding the pitfalls that that the ussr fell into.

> People are paid to deliver features and yet the forums are full of why this and that is annoying in React (...)

Online forums dedicated to frameworks are filled with questions on what the framework does and how it works. No news there. What did you expect?

> Knowing how to architect your app remains important, and once you know it, it's trivial. For those who refuse to learn it because they deem it a gargantuan task, frameworks will keep trying to provide a "generic" solution, but a "generic" solution is by necessity overcomplicated, overengineered, and bloated, because it's trying to address EVERYONE's concern and specific needs.

I'm sorry, you typed a lot of words to actually say nothing. So you don't use all features provided by a tech stack. So what? That is not bloat. Writing software is not a game of bingo.

Also, reinventing the wheel when a fully working and tested wheel is already available is a very dumb mistake and a fundamental failure in the decision-making process.

> React started with the promise of simplicity, and being a library, not a framework. Somewhere along the line this ideal was lost, this happens often.

I don't think this is remotely true in any way. Undoubtedly React greatly simplifies the work of putting together working and full-featured SPAs. The concept is so good and so extensively proven that React is already being used to develop native GUIs in desktop applications.

Your comments reads as if you're tilting at a React windmill. It's ok if you like vanilla JavaScript, but you're not being honest with yourself if you're failing to understand what problems React solves, how well Reacts solves them, and why the whole world has basically standardized around it.
You're the one pitching an "ought to be". Your pitch is "Poor people ought not to aspire to roles above their station". That sounds pretty dystopian to me.
Possibly naive, but hopefully trying to reason from first principles:

The insurance companies are the ones paying for care. The hospital systems are the ones charging for care. The entity that pays for care has every incentive to keep costs _low_. The entity that charges for care has every incentive to charge as much as possible. i.e. The ire of consumers should be directed at hospital systems rather than insurance companies.

I want to do cross platform native C++ dev. Maybe I should switch to Microsoft-land. I've been using a MacBook for years. I see Visual Studio docs talking about C++ cross-platform mobile (iOS, Android), but nothing about desktop (eg, Linux, macOS).

It was a simple text outliner - but press a button and the structure turned into a presentation.

(Mostly people that wanted it for outlining more than presentations.)

It's certainly impressive, but not extraordinary by the standard of the day for a good programmer.

I once stuffed a software UART, simple command interpreter and a temperature control algorithm into a microcontroller that had a single accumulator and a grand total of 504 bytes of OTP Flash (a donut to anyone who can guess what it was from that odd memory size :-) and didn't give it a second thought until years later someone pointed out that it was unusual.
You can call me wrong, you can claim you’re not arguing that one casualty is too many, but your actual argument remains that any negative consequences of giving up some privacy for substantive benefit are infinitesimally small yet somehow not worth the real value provided.

> A better way to solve the problem is to go with a single-payer healthcare system

Possibly. But there are countries in Europe where healthcare is primarily or to a large degree (or even entirely like in Switzerland, they don't even have any Medicare/Medicaid equivalents) financed through private insurance systems. Yet they manage to keep prices from spiraling through effective regulation.
Not too sure about this part. Lot of program are written then used, but never revised. Code is a tool and not an end in itself.
Honestly, do you want to revise your code on and on ? I didn't. I still don't want to. Then when I have to, I'm sad that I didn't add more comment. Or better code. Like code I don't have to improve. Or come back to... Well. F* ;)

Hmm, I wouldn't say alcohol is a good example of something well regulated.

There should really be cancer warnings on every bottle to really whack people over the head that scoffing at smokers exposing themselves to lung cancer while drinking cancer juice is majorly stupid. People are mostly naive to how much risk they're taking by drinking. Less than smoking - but still a pretty decent amount.

Smoking is something that's well regulated.

The real trick is doing both. Code that reads like a short story while including error handling and edge cases. This is achieved in a practical way by first keeping it as simple as possible only implementing strictly necessary abstractions. When the code reaches a "tipping point" then refactor. Rinse and repeat. If the code is structured reasonably that refactor should be mostly limited to the trouble spot.

We can't have a why, because the claim that the norm is L2 is axiomatic [1]. However, as the sibling comment notes, we can argue from consistency. Would any other norm give us a sensible theory? Or we can put quantum theory in a larger framework of theories and discuss why the L2 norm makes more sense within that framework. Scott Aaronson discusses some of these idea in his lecture [2].

I think the alternative is not a hellscape. The alternative is a clear, specific, transparent, rule-based moderation. In particular, I think that it's best to control the "temperature" of the discussion (even if subjectively), but keep the topics of the discussion completely open. Why would people not be allowed to discuss certain things, if these things gain enough traction? Instead, you could just control the temperature: banning the usage of bad words, personal attacks, etc...
Guilty as charged! But to be fair, this applies to human writing too:

“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.”

The delivery mechanisms for a nitrogen-free air – be they personal respiration devices or sealed environments – could be onerously regulated, or effectively banned for certain places/purposes.

It can be hard to confine helium, and its presence can make some electronics malfunction: https://www.ifixit.com/News/11986/iphones-are-allergic-to-he...

Occasional helium shortages, and the characterization of terrestrial helium as a 'non-renewable' resource, has also made it the subject of industrial policy, with the federal government maintaining a reserve whose planned privatization is controversial.

Plus, there's often widespread resentment of performance-enhancers – hormones, stimulants, etc – when they are only accessible to a select few.

So I'd not be so sure that, if helium proved an essential part of some novel cognitive enhancement practices, its acquisition & use would remain legally-unencumbered.

> It certainly felt that way and it was talked about... but people I knew always listened to a variety of music.

Before about 2000 I think you'd find most people, not all but most, tended to listen to smaller varieties of music. Top40/Pop radio stations played a very safe middle ground of music. There was never anything too avant-garde or experimental. The 70s and 80s saw a lot of radio stations cropping up targeting particular genres rather than just one late night DJ that loved that genre. This included "oldies" stations catering to previous decades' Top40 back catalogs. Big record stores were very clearly organized by genre which was copied by the big box stores when they started carrying significant music sections.

It wasn't until finding single tracks online was easy that I think many people branched out with musical styles. Someone hearing a single on the radio of a genre they didn't normally listen to were unlikely to go drop $15 (in 199x dollars) on a whole CD of that artist. Relatively few artists actually released CD singles (in the US) so that $15 entry fee to a new genre wasn't trivial.

Fast forward to the early 00s in the era of P2P and iTunes (the clear industry juggernaut) and singles were now readily available. If you wanted that one rap or dance track you could easily get it without dropping $15 on a whole album. YouTube and then streaming just made this sort of thing even easier and cheaper. Someone spending $10 a month on music in 1993 had access to far fewer choices than someone spending the same amount today.
> while providing nothing of value you can't get from a game that's not for stakes.

When I play poker, I don't get the same fun value when it's for nothing but the clay chips or even if it's for $2 total win (_when playing for pennies_). The _fun_ for me is when it's a $20+ decision, the _fun_ for me is to play against other people where the decision they have to make has _weight_ to it. I think that there is _fun_ to be had when you're playing for stakes that cannot be had when you're playing for nothing. When I throw the dice, it's not _fun_ to see if it lands on a 7 or 11 or whatever the rules of craps are. The _fun_ for me is the betting, the winning or losing of the money. If I just wanted to see who could get a set of numbers from random dice rolls without money involved, I'd play Yahtzee.

I agree that _some people_ shouldn't gamble because it's not _fun_ but an _addiction_. Just like _some people_ probably shouldn't drink because it's not _fun_ but an _addiction_ or shouldn't smoke weed because it's not _fun_ but _addicting_. That doesn't mean that there is _no value_ being added to the people's lives that _find it fun_ and don't find it _addicting_.

We may disagree on if _fun_ is of any value to people vs the harm that that _fun_ might give them and I think we both agree we should make it _really clear_ the consequences of the _fun_ someone chooses to have. But I disagree that gambling adds _no value_ whatsoever or the idea that what I find is of no value means that everyone should agree it adds no value. Let the players have their fun, tax the shit out of it, and offer help to those that have an addiction to it, just like smoking or drinking or anything else that we as a society have deemed not illegal but not directly beneficial.

A few problems with your comment -

1. 10% of your time doing devops work isn't necessarily a waste - if 10% of that time is cheaper than enterprise offerings, then this is probably worth the resources, unless you are very short on talent.

2. You have an assumption laden in this comment that SaaS products eliminate the need for spending time on "devops work." It can greatly reduce that time, but IME even administrating a SaaS product can come with a ton work - look at EKS, a "managed" kubernetes cluster, but often requires a lot of kubernetes know-how to properly configure and maintain.
So you're saying the illegal drugs market exists inside governments.
Sometimes I feel like most of these Open Source SAAS businesses were also only possible in the 0 interest rate era. If your product is open source then you are competing purely on service offerings, and it will be very hard to compete on support alone, since you have by default higher costs due to maintaining the software itself. Redhat is the exception that proves the rule, and even they are trying to get as less open as possible.

Case in point, it would be very hard for Elastic to develop Elasticsearch and then compete with Cloud providers purely on hosting quality and price. Opensearch seems to receive very very few new features compared to ES, and will have features that will not be opensource, like all the hot and cold storage stuff.

When I was a kid, one piece of software that we had during "computer class" at school was a turtle who would take instructions like "walk 8 steps, turn left 50 degrees, repeat 100x" and the path of the turtle would generate this beautiful geometric pattern.

It taught me a lot about emergent properties from simple systems (or, at least a child-like understanding of it), and the concept of having something follow I told it to do (and all the problems that arise from it).
