If there is an opportunity, aside the pharmacy’s perpetual inventory, this could be inferred from PBM data, the wholesaler, an EDI trading partner like a 340B TPA or a DSCSA compliance vendor, or a manufacturer.

Assuming the patient isn’t locked into a pharmacy by their PBM, there might be incentive for the pharmacy to expose their inventory. Otherwise, the PBM or the manufacturer may have incentive to know or share that their beneficiaries or end users have access to drug. 503B compounding pharmacies and GPOs would have an incentive to know which drugs are difficult to purchase.

Market failures and special access programs notwithstanding, almost any drug can be delivered by the wholesaler to the pharmacy next day.
I work with some Indian colleagues, and when I heard something about the caste system, I decided to look up some of my colleagues' names. I found that most of them come from higher-ranked castes, while a few are from lower-ranked ones. However, I can confidently say that all of them excel in their jobs.

I hope that both the Indian people and the government can take more steps to promote equality. The current situation is unfair to those from lower-ranked castes and a huge waste of human potential.
There's an overarching theme in the world today of the existing power structures being challenged by new power hopefuls. It almost never works out in favor of the new power, however. It doesn't stop the hopefuls from engaging their cognitive biases, and reality distortion soon follows.

My wife and I were planning a trip over the holidays and it was getting out of hand on Google Docs.

Ended up building a small tool over 3 days (v1) and then sharing it to Reddit on day 7. Got a bit of traction and started working on it full time over the summer, but I don't think I can figure out a business model.

So enjoy an ad-free, complelety free collaborative trip planning and travel blogging tool for obsessive planners!
Well, it can't be completely dumb and still support billing. There are several competing factors here:

- They want to support billing - which requires network access, at least for the station itself

- They want to minimize the cost of the station both up front and maintenance. Fewer cables and accessories (eg, card readers) helps a lot here

- Much of their target audience is inside of parking garages where cell reception can be spotty. This means mesh is a must and bluetooth for client connectivity is best.

- They need to have power metering built-in and there are related regulatory concerns due to usage based billing

All of this means that it can't be a truly dumb device. What they've come up with is essentially the lowest cost solution that can possibly work.
I've probably searched 100 BG3 related questions on Google in the last week or two and have always found what I needed.

I’ve seen many more monitor compatibility issues under MacOS than Linux, and have plenty of older hardware that works with reverse engineered Linux drivers, but no longer works with Windows.

I think the common case is that vendors test with the current version of Windows, MacOS and/or Linux (in decreasing priority order), then hope that it the hardware is EOL’ed before the drivers bit rot.
That's a poor excuse for shuffling screens that, like rather many (so not a rare bug), don't have unique serial numbers in their EDIDs, just because the user folded the laptop to sleep, and unfolded it the next day after breakfast to continue working/using.

Resolving assignments of cloned screens in the absence of physical-plugging-involving hotplug (that thus only comes from the monitor(s) also turning off when the laptop goes to sleep) by random instead of remembering physical ports/paths to them, across sometime as tame as a suspend-to-RAM, is frankly terrible UX.

Trying to use uniqueness features to be sticky across port swaps is good.... but I'd not be surprised if my grandparents would actually assume the way to swap them is by swapping the ports they are plugged into. Especially I'd expect them to be confused/surprised by swapping the plugs _not_ resulting in swapped content.
Dropbox with important data—not backup, just in case the computer dies on me.

Books and music synced across several computers. Not backed up as I can redownload them, but would prefer not to.

Documents synced with iCloud.

Movies and TV Shows on a small server (a Mac Mini) with a couple of external HDDs.

My Downloads folder is my inbox, as anything created by me is already in its proper folder. I go through it at least every day and add each file to the relevant library. Every once in a while, I just delete everything in this folder. I only take photos with my iPhone, which is synced with iCloud. I mostly write notes (Bear), todo lists (Things). Anything else is tied to a project, and I have something similar to PARA for them.

Multiple inputs works fine with gpu pass through, but regularly switching monitor inputs is honestly a pain depending on your monitor. Its like a 10 second process for my monitor.

Also people running a setup like this are using the Linux host as their main desktop. If you only have one monitor and are switching inputs you lose your whole workflow on Linux host when using the vm. It’s better with dual monitors but I’d still prefer looking glass.

> In 2019, 26.5% of Australia had travelled overseas with the percentage growing y/y:

Yeah, that doesn't matter. Most of that percentage is young Australians who buy a $2000 'round the world' ticket with 8 stops or whatever, and they just get drunk in every place. Most of them are not really bothering to explore the countries or cultures, and have no context to claim Australia is 'the best country in the world to live in'.

> And the reputation of being the best country in the world comes from city/country rankings which routinely have our cities in the top ten:

There are plenty of different lists, but sure, Australian cities often make it into the top 10. But not 1st place, sometimes not even the top 5. Which means Australia is among the best, but certainly not the best, which is the claim many Australians insist upon. Hell, there are plenty of countries with all the same advantages but less censorship and less jacked up prices, so that disqualifies Australia right there IMO.

I don't think what you've said in this comment has much credibility beyond "take medication seriously", which you've blown far out of proportion imo.

I'm on concerta, and was nervous to take it, because of all this fear mongering. I don't think you have malintent, but you gotta dial that back quite a lot. They started me on a tiny dose, even as an adult, and gave me a massive booklet with all possible information I couls have asked for. They said "Try this, see how it makes you feel, if it doesn't seem to help or has negative effects, we can figure something else out". Yes it's potentially addictive, but you shouldn't be going around putting the idea of turning into Alex Jones into anyone's head. That's ridiculous.
How is it Islamic?
Technically yes, but CPU only. In theory it might be possible to support ANE/MPS, but it wouldn't be useful in practice because Linux software isn't built to use them, and there wouldn't be a good way to expose them.
The problem isn't your PHI, nor is it a legal problem for you. The problem is them knowingly permitting you to record in a situation where you may capture someone else's PHI. (As in the "shared hospital rooms" example we're in a discussion thread of.)

You've also mixed up what's legal for you to do (record, in a single-party state) and what's legal for them to permit by policy (knowingly agreeing to recording). You won't get arrested in a single-party state for recording; it can still violate the clinic's policy, and they can make the decision not to continue doing business with you after.

No one's going to stop you from writing down a note, though. Thinking "doctors don't write anything down" is universal may indicate you need a better one; mine definitely does, and I get sent the summary shortly after my visits.

Are you referring to the images in the post or the actual game? Looks good on my side, might be the unexpected extra traffic. Sorry about that! In any case, you can try the game directly here: https://echochess.com/

The rules are really simple:

1) You are playing White, there's no opponent. You must capture all pieces to win.

2) You become the "echo" of any piece you capture. Captured a bishop? Become that bishop.

3) You can’t pass through red obstacles. Find the best move order to clear the board.

You can play it on any device, just drag and drop the white piece to move around. Let me know if you have any issues.

p.s. love that you just made your own!

Why is this relevant other than as an attempt to misdirect blame from the "caste system" to "the writer of the article"?

I read the article as a critique of India's caste system evidenced by the lack of representation for a class that represents almost half the population. What does the actions of individuals in this group(that makes up half the population of India) have to do with that point?
While this is a cool idea, is typing speed really the bottleneck for anyone who uses a keyboard for a living?
Maybe, but that's not interesting. It is possible that the physics inside are different from the physics outside, but that tells us absolutely nothing of value about whether we are in a simulation or not.

If we do assume that an observer cannot differentiate the simulation from the outside world, then we can make an interesting argument: if the rules of physics in some universe entails that this universe will simulate many other universes with the same apparent rules, then an observer of these rules is probably simulated regardless of what the root universe happens to be. This is the only way you can ground the probability calculation. A lot of things are possible. Not many things are probable.

It's no surprise that social distancing is the most clearly effective intervention here. Obviously no virus can spread without some kind of contact.

It's also no surprise than N95 masks are significantly more effective than "surgical type" masks or plain cloth masks. However the study does not address how much better masking is than not masking. There is no quantitative data at all, from what I can see. Telling me mask mandates reduce the spread of the virus is not meaningful until I know how much by.
Original Royal Society report: https://royalsociety.org/-/media/policy/projects/impact-non-...

It's too bad that the report has a quite vague description of its methodology and data sources and analysis. From what I read it's mostly a qualitative assessment more than anything else.

Also the big elephant in the room is conflict of interest.
While the report states "by a group of expert scientists convened by the Royal Society, independently from the UK Government", they're all funded by the government (most public health experts are) including the Royal Society itself. The next statement confirms that the UK public health office was involved in the drafting of the document: "The Royal Society is most grateful for early comments from the then UK Government Chief Scientific Adviser, Sir Patrick Vallance, in helping the Society to refine the concept of this report and ensuring it has value for future science advisers and decision makers.

I can't help of thinking that the government asked experts they fund to investigate itself and they found nothing wrong.

Caste classification is a big sh*t show. For example, Rajput is supposedly an upper caste, but by just changing it to "Rajput Bhamta" and bribing some officials one can get classified as "Vimukta Jati" in Maharashtra (which has tons of benefits at). I wouldn't be surprised if such lapses in the regulations have been abused in the past.

A community has no moral obligation to accommodate outsiders with different values. Rather, the outsider has a moral obligation to adopt the values of the community if they want to join.

When a large group of people join a community and disregard/replace their values, that is morally equivalent to an invasion or colonization, for lack of a better term. The original community never consented to it.

I agree. Code is a liability, and you should think as hard as possible so that you can write the smallest amount to produce value.

But at the end of the day, you are often going to be writing something, and once you figure out what that is, it should transmit from your brain to the editor as fast as possible.

As a translator who billed approximately 750,000 words last year, yes. Speech to text software is another good tool for circumventing this bottleneck that many translators use.
The real value of dictation, IMO, is it's so much easier to ramble verbally than via text, so you can just bang out a draft without getting blocked on picking the exact correct words.

This isn't really a zero knowledge proof and could technically be de-anonymized and requires a third party service but you could easily set up a trusted verifier that generates one direction hashes which validates whatever claim you're trying to make. And if you trust the verifier to not leak back your personal details and the adult website trusts the verifier's verification, then all you need to do is send the hash to the adult website and they can validate that the hash is valid by checking against the verifier.
if you're using a keyboard, slow typing speed is overhead on getting your job done.

The problem with distancing with a very contagious disease is that it only works for a time. The title would be more honest if it said "prevents transmission for a while". Which was always the goal to begin with, to flatten the curve and not to overload the system. But preventing, as in never happening, the infection of a SRAS disease, even with vaccines, was already known to be impossible well before this pandemic happened. (Remember this critic used to be directed against the "Trump vaccine" and against racism in the China Towns being avoided).
Google was supposed to solve the info overload problem that growing networks produce.

Instead they focused on growing the network and making content creation and broadcast of content free.

So today less than .5% of content produced is consumed according to the UN report on the attention economy.

Whats the fix? Content production needs to be scaled down. A better system is required that decides Who gets to broadcast, how much and when. Bandwith Advertising consumes within such a system must have a cap. Now there is no cap. Ads can be shown on everywhere and all the time. "Scaling things up" should be a political/social decision not a business/technical decision.

The focus must be brought back to solving info overload.

In a court, hearsay is inadmissible; a recording (critically different than mere hearing) is far more likely to be admissible. That's for a good reason. (HIPAA compliance is also not a strictly moral question, but a legal one.)
