Here's a quote from one I randomly clicked on:

>Respondent admits that there were billings for 35 treatments apiece for two undercover law enforcement officers when each had only five visits. Further, he acknowledged that had he known the true facts, he would have investigated further. However, had he been vigilant, respondent does not believe that he would have detected the problem because patient signatures, as evidence that the patient received treatment, were forged after he issued his reports.

I didn't realize that undercover agents were/are doing sting operations for insurance fraud. (And I don't understand the part about forged signatures...)

The Urgent-Important Matrix (2013)
To ensure proper product-market fit. It is crucial, for one, never to build in isolation and under a rock. From day one, if you want to build something for people you've got to live among them.

I did this while consulting for a motorbike luggage company a few years ago - new nothing of the culture so I bought my own little bike, joined forums on socials, went out for weekend rides with other riders. Chatted with different types of riders, asked them why they chose certain accessories, got a feel of what their motivations were when purchasing, what certain features they prioritized over others, and what pricing threshold they had. All while having a blast and not seemingly over-intrusive. With my feedback the company launched a line of panniers, and tank bags that had overwhelming success despite a high price point and heavy competition in the West.

If that were so, then people without any property would be exempt from tax. I'm not arguing against all taxation per se, but a lot of 'philosophical' arguments of tax proponents are as specious as those of tax opponents.

There's tons of hardware that runs perfectly fine on Windows 10 but can't be (officially) upgraded to Windows 11. Even if you meet the TPM requirement some CPUs are not (officially) supported and you can't upgrade . My Lenovo ThinkCenre with an i7 and 32 GBs of RAM is one of them. I have no interest in buying new hardware when what I have is perfectly ample. I'll just switch back to Linux when the clock runs out.
Argentinian here, we are so deep in the sh*t that in few days we will be paying this tax again because inflation.

And they were all total garbage. Roads were a mess, sometimes paid for by private individuals to suit their own interests. Rich people had better quality roads than poor people, but travel was terrible basically everywhere. Roads were also sometimes built and maintained by the use of slaves and forced labor (corvée) where local courts just ordered people to start digging while letting rich people buy their way out of their obligation, while poor people were stuck serving out their time.

Policing often depended partly on volunteers, while once again, rich people routinely hired private police/security/slave patrols and poor people got little protection comparatively.

Garbage collection was just people dumping their shit wherever they felt like it, including into water supplies.

All the same problems with schools too. Schools were for the rich or the religious, and even when the country saw a need for public schools they were a huge mess. (https://ushistoryscene.com/article/rise-of-public-education/)

Taxes gave us organized systems and standards that meant that services like roads and policing and trash collection were more consistent and a little less dependent on how much money you had. Things are so much better now thanks to taxes that I can't imagine anyone wanting to go back to how things were before them.
Yes this is exactly it.

I like to review stuff and typically don't keep a large cash balance. An expensive month could 5x or more my spend; maybe I just paid for an overseas vacation, my home owners and auto insurance is hitting, and whatever all in the same month. Want to make sure everything is in place before kicking off the payments.
Remarkable, up until recently, requests for a new release were somewhat brusquely rejected and marked as spam.

It is far easier for the government to pressure and control (and spy on?) FB than it is for a CCP company. We don't no one spying on our citizens but us!!!!
It’s invisible in the sense that it requires no action on one’s part for funds to be transferred. Which enables (in many ways) nickel and dimeism, as it disconnects the original spending (nickels and dimes, often) from the actual withdrawal of funds from accounts.

You’d just see the overall bill slowly creep up with no clear cause. Frog boiling.

The most valuable information on the Internet will always come from the chans.

You just need to be able to evaluate everything with critical thinking.

You know, that thing where you can reason about something without necessarily agreeing with it.

Please don't interpret this as bait. From my perspective a vast majority of people have embraced outsourcing their reason.

Things like fph exist exactly because people are told day in and day out that diabetes is healthy. Its perhaps the most ugly manifestation of the natural reaction to this polar opposite called body positivity. But banishing thought doesn't eradicate it. It simply validates all those driven away.

Sadly that is something vitally absent from borg based Internet.
Unless...I program in bash! ^^ haha :)

Yeah, I didn't know that. I definitely had a suspicion it was how you say, and "basically" was my fudge word, because I didn't know. I hadn't thought much about it, but I did not know for sure. Thanks for tellin me.

I've thought about this idea: mapping the internet to the Unix filesystem, a la proc. I know TabFS, but I think the mapping could be better.

I think it's an interesting problem to consider what a good mapping would be. But it's all tradeoffs I guess. I haven't thought that much about it. But it did seem interesting.

Maybe not interesting enough to really commit to, because it seemed kinda like a big project. But definitely interesting to consider. What do you think? What kind of mapping would you do?
hi matt, lemme address each question specifically (this is gary fc founder)

Q. How does this work?

A. investors (or landlords/hosts) are matched with renters based on similar goals (like the amount of return the investor seeks and the amount of return the renter is willing to pay - which is called rent-equity (RE%)).

investors pay-in (to fc) monthly until the down payment goal is reached. the renter buys a home and the investor owns their contribution (as a %) in the appreciating value of the home.

Q. How does an investor generate outsized returns while giving away equity without charging someone a far higher rent payment than market?

A. the investor(or landlord) doesn't give away equity, the renter does that. the investor(or landlord) names their own return and the system matches them with a renter willing to pay it. they enter an agreement to that effect.

Q. And if they are charging a far higher rent payment than market, why wouldn't a person be better off saving the difference on their own?

A. there is no effect on rent payment. whatever the rent is it gets banked (by the investor(or landlord) until (zero to 48 months later) it reaches the down payment goal.

the renter buys a home and the investor(or landlord) now owns a share of the equity equal to the dp funded + RE%.

there are several ways for the investor(or landlord) to become liquid - ill gladly describe if you are interested.

thank you for your questions.
Anyone who thinks they understand unix signals is fooling themselves. Anyway, the basis of the claim that you can exchange half a million small messages per second using signals is misunderstanding. The benchmark suite in question passes no data, it only ping-pongs the signal.

I do as the GP, autopay the minimum to avoid fines (not just interest) but then go in and pay the remaining balance before the end of the month.

Autopaying the full amount would work 95% of the time, except when I put something like a big holiday on my card and autopay pays the entire balance and the payment either fails because I forgot to have sufficient funds in my debit/checking account, or leaves me with very little whilst I wait for the money that was going to come in to pay for it.

Yeah, like I originally said, even if you don't agree with your taxes specifically, you agree to them as part of society by continuing to exist inside in it. By my philosophy, taxes are justified as long as you have the theoretical legal right to emigrate.

Which it does definitely remove a lot of the work. Which removes a lot of the incentive to pay fewer things (requiring such work), and removes a lot of the visibility towards exactly what is being paid (and trends, etc.).

It'll still be good enough for a lot of applications; that guy photoshopping together an ad for Mountain Dew doesn't need images of Xi Jinping anyway.

The very, very straightforward answer is that Facebook is accountable to the US govt in ways that TikTok is not. It's entirely reasonable for the US to legislate accordingly.

Home Depot Tracked a Crime Ring and Found an Unusual Suspect
I set up my (Swedish) CC bill to autopay the full amount each month. I only use it for emergencies though. It seems like it's really common elsewhere (the US) to use it for larger purchases. Isn't it very uneconomical?

I recognize that I might be speaking from a position of relative financial privilege, but it doesn't seem limited to people in acute financial distress?

Maybe it works differently too. I've read stuff about having to use a CC to build a credit score, or something along those lines, just to be able to get a regular loan in the future? In that sense it could perhaps be seen as a sort of investment?

Genuinely confused (as always).

What's a 'natural right'?

Surely all it is, is something most people agree on.

Take ownership of land for example - doesn't really make sense - at some point it wasn't 'owned' then somebody declared they owned it and could pass that right on in perpetuity.

Such a construct doesn't exist outside a system of laws ( created from an agreement from the majority of people ) - it's not some magic 'natural right'.
It can also be the equivalent of picking up pennies in front of a steam roller.
so what i want to know in basic language is, why was the update nessecary?

security holes?

new features?

new shiny version, is better by default?

previous version was deficient with respect to 'modern' tech?
Two bug reports:

1. When I search by "Malpractice Settlements", I get a "Minified React error #31" on every result I click on.

2. You're doing something horrible with the back button - I clicked on one result and had to click the back button 10 times to get out of your site.
But if you're going to check it every month anyway, why have the backstop be the minimum payment and not the full payment? You don't lose the right to dispute a charge just because autopay paid the statement off, and setting it to pay in full means you won't be charged any interest at all if you forget to check one month.
It's also important to mention that given that the projected inflation for 2024 is above 200% and historically this taxes are not properly annually updated, the most probable scenario is that in a year or a few months most people that were benefited are going to pay income taxes again. So this are just populist measures to get some votes for the incoming elections (also mostly forced by the liberal party that is leading the polls), but won't last much.

For me, taking the logarithm makes it even more intuitive somehow - the test becomes something like a modifier in an RPG-style game. In your example, the test gives +2 to the possibility of having a disease, a more powerful test could be +3, etc. Adding all the different +/- modifiers works just as well, and all this math is easy to do in one’s head.

> The article cited 7.2% as the price inflation rate, which is close to the rate of 7.6% calculated by the Office for National Statistics based on my household spending[1] and is consistent with my personal experience.

Do you know if those figures factor in non-consumables like housing and insurance?

Asking because many US areas are seeing 20-100% jumps (or higher), year over year over year. When your largest expenses skyrocket, single digit increase stats don't reflect reality well.
Some people are just bad at managing finances. I had a loved one who racked up $10k in credit card debt because autopay was set to pay the minimum payment. The payments were low enough that they thought they had more money than they did, and adjusted their spending accordingly. Eventually the interest caught up with their monthly expenses, and they came to me confused and overwhelmed. I helped them consolidate the debt and changed the setting to "full statement balance" - it's now been over a year with no issue. (We talk finances monthly to confirm that everything's still going smoothly.)

Manually paying would have caught the issue before it snowballed. Setting up autopay for the full statement balance in the first place would have entirely prevented the issue, as the extra money went entirely to luxuries that they thought they could afford.
That's true in biology, chemistry, and physical sciences, but less true in computer science.
Painfully tonedeaf comment. If you're at poverty level, not making ends meet, and inflation is 30% and your wage growth is 9%, you are falling behind. If you are above "making ends meet" and your income growth is only 3% but you are still "making ends meet", things are fine for you.

Inflation is absolutely decimating the lower half of the country. Your numbers are sophistry.
If they wanted to generate revenue they could simply post up at literally any traffic light in the city and ticket the 99% of drivers that just roll through the red light when turning right.
Taichi solves a different problem. It's (mainly) a tensor compiler that targets kernel generation on different architectures, while Chapel is for orchestrating and communicating between computations over distributed memory spaces (and heterogeneous devices).
I've run the T430 as a server and it's faster, and a lot louder as well. That's the trade-off.
When does it just become "opinion" though?

I can ask humans the same question, but I don't assume any of it is "truth".

People can be nice or be dicks about stuff, and people readily make judgements just on appearance. I see no reason to treat AI differently in that regard.
The FSF disagrees with you on that.
As the author of the changes, I thought you can license them however you wish.

Civil liberties group hated the RESTRICT Act because it basically gives the executive branch unilateral authority to censor web sites, which is why it stalled despite “support from senior leaders in both parties.”

The RESTRICT Act sounds like, and actually is censorship. That’s why the Biden admin is hard at work repackaging it as the HAPPY Act.

Debit cards took a lot longer to take off in the USA than in Europe. They're picking up now, though.

And Europeans took a lot longer to move from cash to electronic payments, IMO. The US has been using credit for everything for as long as I can remember.
The speed at which the models are progressing and new optimizations for reducing hardware requirements makes $20/mo per user not too bad. They'll be able to reduce those costs pretty soon in my opinion, and the users will continue to use the service for years to come.

I'm guessing most of the people here who are saying "be truthful" have never started a company. Sometimes you just gotta fudge the numbers a bit and do what needs to be done to get your company off the ground. I've been in your shoes and I recommend saying something like "we are a team of 5".

I'm all ears listening to suggestions for how to realistically change the current status, I just haven't heard any reasonable ones that are actually tenable. Also, while I think there are plenty of annoyances with the current status, I rarely think they are as catastrophic as their detractors make them out to be.
To be honest i saw a teacher in high school working on his own textbook)the second revision of an already published textbook) in word and while it had the classic wysiwyg experience, it was typographically okay, almost ready to be printed.

My solution: I set all CCs to generate bill on 1st/2nd. Immediately after receiving salary at month end. Than pay them all manually in one go 3rd to 5th. Very less overhead /head scratching.
