The prices have got to be up there. It’s taking up dozens of hours from multiple highly skilled workers at the very least. That with the use of very expensive medication and some very complicated machines adds up.

It's primary for forward tactical, war-time refueling because you can't just drive a jet from a hardened bunker on an air base to a random road far away. Wingspan and trees and such get in the way. Finland, Poland, etc. roads fit the criteria where it makes sense to have emergency alternate landing sites than first-to-be-destroyed fixed bases.

An adversary such as Russia undoubtedly already designates straight, manicured roads in Eastern Europe for anti-runway demolition as secondary targets.

Also, given Russia's hypersonic capabilities, they undoubtedly possess something between JP233 and DRDO SAAW: stand-off anti-runway and hardened target attack with area denial.

Having a single charge master (your first bullet point) largely removes the need for non-catastrophic insurance. The whole problem here is price discovery. As people point out, your car insurance doesn't cover day to day maintenance (generally), but it doesn't need to because AAMCO charges a single price for an oil change and that price is public. The reason you need insurance for normal day-to-day medicine is because you have no idea going into a doctor's office how much anything is going to cost, and for that matter the provider doesn't really have any idea either.
> a competitive retail healthcare market

What's a "competitive healthcare market" for diabetes? Or cancer? Or childbirth?

> Anyone who thinks the universal model standard in Canada and the UK is actually working has a hole in their head.

The UK has a population of 67 million. There are half a billion patient contacts in any given year. I've yet to hear stories like "I can't afford my insulin" or "we had a child, the bill was 200k and we were also charged for holding the baby"

I know what “a model of a theory” (such as a model of a theory of sets, even one which asserts that some expression defines an uncountable set) means.

I’m not quite sure what a “model of a set” means.
I suppose maybe you mean like, the set in some model, which is described by the given description of a set in the theory?

> Thus the power set is, in fact, no larger than the set of natural numbers, because both can be fully described in a countable manner.

I don’t think this follows.

There are countable models of set theory. And for these models, there is (in the meta-theory) a bijection between the set representing the set of real numbers, and the set (in the meta theory) of natural numbers.

I don’t think this establishes that “in fact” there is a bijection between the real numbers and the natural numbers.

Rather, in any model of any of the usual set theories, there will be no bijection between the set of real numbers and the set of natural numbers. (Of course there will not be, because these theories entail that there is no such bijection.)

If I take a non-standard model of arithmetic, and for some non-standard natural number n, and consider the uniform distribution of (non-standard) natural numbers less than n, then for every standard natural number, the probability of getting that natural number from that distribution, will be equal. Are we therefore to conclude that there is a uniform probability distribution over all the standard natural numbers? By no means!

The core thesis of the piece, if I'm comprehending it right, is that a failing retailer had insiders who -- with full knowledge of what they were doing -- engaged in self-enrichment schemes that they knew would leave investors holding a worthless bag. He mentions that they did a massive raise, including billions in debt, ostensibly to modernize and digitize and compete online, and instead they used it to buy back stock.

There doesn't seem to be any waving of hands.

And the primary target of the piece are low info gambling meme-stock bettors.
There is a mapping from counting numbers (1, 2, 3, ...) to rationals and back again that shows these quantities are the same; for every element in set A there's an element in set B and vice versa.

This is not the case for irrationals... therefore it is concluded that the infinity of irrationals is a larger infinity than the infinity of rationals.

It can be kind of high in other contexts too in my experience. I've been using a place called adhdonline for my medication and the zoom meetings (every 3 months after the first month) are $169, no insurance accepted, and my insurance won't reimburse it either. It was a lifesaver being able to find this place since doing the whole procedure of getting medication in-person seemed too daunting, thanks to the adhd. I could find an in person place now that my insurance wouldn't discriminate against but this service is too convenient.

These kinds of comparisons are confusing.

A friend had a grandfather in mexico that had prostate problems. He was 85+ years old, and the doctor convinced him to have surgery. He had some weird problems with the anesthesia, but they bundled him in a car and sent him home. to die. The doctor was still paid up front.

In the US, it would be very hard to convince a doctor to do surgery on an 80+ year old patient. They would have watched over him until he was completely stable. All kinds of other differences.

Also I think in other countries you can't get some operations at any cost, like heart bypass surgeries, while in the US you can pay for it if you have the money.

I think there needs to be more nuanced comparisons.

My assumption is that the many people, if not the majority, still avoid seeking healthcare due to a doctor visit costing a minimum of $250+. You can give everyone the $100k deductible insurance, which is great, but the issue in this thread is that a regular consultation with a doctor costs so much, that a $29 telehealth option (probably with someone less qualified than a doctor) is better.
If there was a "CSAM oracle" that could run on-device and prevent E2EE transmission of CSAM without phoning home, wouldn't that satisfy the EU's proposal without informing anyone other than the participants about the content of the message?

Yes. Unless they are really floored or something. And then things are complex. Sometimes people keep mum about some good thing they find.

Even if all else stays the same (which it won't: prices will go up and quality down) the extra crowd will be annoying.
"Labor shortages can be eased by funneling more people into the labor force or making the current workforce more productive. That can be done through immigration; outsourcing more work overseas; tapping underutilized labor pools such as people with disabilities and the formerly incarcerated; and improving productivity through automation, training and refining business and production processes."

Another underutilized labor pool: parents. Specifically, mothers. Universal childcare couldn't come quickly enough.

> The “South” IO fabric is ordered, but non-coherent and PCIe-based. It is home to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, PCI Express connections, Sensing, USB 3/2, Ethernet, the Power Management Controller (PMC), and Security controllers.

Does "Sensing" refer to human presence based on camera and radio (Wi-Fi, UWB) imaging?

https://lkml.org/lkml/2023/2/12/314

Intel Visual Sensing Controller (IVSC), codenamed "Clover Falls", is a companion chip designed to provide secure and low power vision capability to IA platforms. The primary use case of IVSC is to bring in context awareness. IVSC interfaces directly with the platform main camera sensor via a CSI-2 link and processes the image data with the embedded AI engine. The detected events are sent over I2C to ISH (Intel Sensor Hub) for additional data fusion from multiple sensors.

https://www.techpowerup.com/276114/new-intel-visual-sensing-...

The company didn't detail how it goes about this, but technologies already exist to combine visual input from the PC's cameras; radio from the PC's antennas, audio from its mic array; to form a picture of its surroundings.

But then withdrawn from service due to treaty, because with that accuracy, first striking your target's silos and hardened facilities starts to be a viable option.

Sometimes you can be too accurate.

Also, related, the W76-1/Mk4A height-adjusting fuze solved this this in a different way, by recognizing that there's a 3D kill-volume (above and around the target) rather than a 2D kill circle.

Consequently, if you aim beyond the target and have your warhead measure actual height vs expected once on a ballistic trajectory, you can adjust the fuzing height to detonate within the volume, even if you overshot the target. See figures 2 and 3. https://thebulletin.org/2017/03/how-us-nuclear-force-moderni...

Un/fortunately, this puts us back into viable first-strike territory.

> Those who call it doomerism live near a river called denial, apparently it's a pretty popular place these days.

Well down by denial river, anyone who wants housing bad enough has access to it. The working class isn't being bled dry. There are no socioeconomic problems, and you have your house and comfortable life because you worked for it, just like everyone else is able to.

No wonder it's such a popular place to live.
Bad posture throws off your kinetic chain and forces your joints and muscles to compensate in ways that are not ideal.

For example, anterior pelvic tilt, which usually comes from being hunched over on a keyboard, causes gait problems (since your lower spine is curved more outwards than it should be), which causes additional stress to knees, ankles, and the lower back that can become problematic later in life.

Then there's "tech neck", which happens when your neck is craned downwards towards a device for far far longer than it should be (yay infinite scrolling and endless content juiced for constant micro dopamine hits!). This causes your shoulders and traps to compensate for this unnatural position, which can lead to upper back injuries.

Endemic back problems are basically game over for a comfortable lifestyle. You use your back for EVERYTHING, especially lifting things. Once you have irreversible back damage, your quality of life drops by a lot. Forget running or contact sports, and forget lifting anything heavy. In more serious cases, you can say hello to taking terminal pain meds to do normal light-touch activities that were easy in the past.

But this is one of those things that rears its head at 45, not 25. Kind of like texting while driving (I.e. socionormalized addiction). It's totally chill to text at the red or in traffic because nothings happening...until you hit a car or a pedestrian who crossed the intersection late because you tapped the accelerator out of habit without gathering situational awareness.
That's how you'd expect it to work, right? Not to say healthcare is a functional market (it's not), but in general, if something is less risky, then it should be more expensive. Insurance companies are less exposed to risk, so they're willing to pay more for healthcare than individuals.
Surprisingly, “paying existing workers more” didn’t make the list. Businesses are unhappy their margins are going to compress with the go forward cost of labor, and taxpayers are unhappy they’ll have to pay more to compensate workers providing government funded services (healthcare, education, schoolbus drivers, etc). The US has hit its “labor credit limit” and is cranky about it.

Example: https://www.eastidahonews.com/2023/09/idahos-direct-care-wor...

> The committee heard follow-ups to a February report issued by the Office of Performance Evaluations that found Idaho’s direct care workforce is short about 3,000 workers compared to national staffing levels. That report identified low pay as an issue for the program primarily paid by Idaho Medicaid, whose rates “do not support sustainable competitive wages for direct care workers,” and create a “wage cap,” the report found. The typical nursing assistant in direct care made $14.16 per hour and could earn 39% more by leaving direct care, the report said.

There is no labor shortage, there is simply no longer surplus labor (due to covid deaths combined with structural demographics) enabling churn that kept wages low.
