I feel like this assumes the old world order is still in place when it clearly isn't. Even in the last two years it's undergone a radical shift, let alone from the time since the Trump / Kim meeting. Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, wars and conflicts are cascading across the globe at an ever increasing clip. Hamas' attack on Israel, the attacks in the Red Sea, Iran hitting Iraq, Pakistan and Syria with ballistic missiles, Venezuela threatening to annex territory all happened over the last few months. Destabilization of the order is evident everywhere.
Wrote Hacking Healthcare, operated/managed hospital systems, blah blah. The study being referenced here is https://doi.org/10.1001/jama.2023.23147. The conclusion of the study is that the identified set of hospitals performed worse on some key metrics, hospital acquired infections are in my opinion a pretty good bellweather of other problems. However, what they are defining as "private equity" seems to be pretty amourphous. Most of the studied hospitals were in private ownership that a lot of people would call "private equity" and then bought by different "private equity". I previously was involved in ownership and management through my company ClearHealth, of some of the facilities studied. Most people would identify that ownership as "private equity". I don't dispute that the hospitals seem to be performing worse after the ownership change (after our interests were divested in 2017-2020). As "private equity" we took over operations and management of many facilities of both public and private ownership and made them run really a lot better for both patients and owners, we were very very good at doing that.

Bottom line there are a lot of very incompetently run facilities out there, of both private, "private equity" and various form of public ownership/management.

It makes a great headline to say that a hospital can be "bought" but ownership and management of hospital systems takes a book to explain. Outside entirely vertical systems like Kaiser and even that has some complexity, hospitals are much more like medical malls than anything else. An ownership and or management company does not dictate what happens under their roofs in anything like the manner a private corporation like Coke, GE or Google would. 29 states make it outright illegal for non-licensed persons to own or manage an entity that engages in the practice or medicine. Most hospitals of any size over 100 beds involve at least dozens of seperately controled and managed entities. See "corporate practice of medicine (CPOM)" laws.

Finally I would add that measuring outcomes on an apples to apples basis is more or less an impossible thing to do. Lots of people don't like to hear that. Again something like HAI I think can be a useful general indicator as well as other measurements of preventable complications, but comparing outcomes at different facilities especially across size and location is more or less useless.

This CEO sounds atrocious. One thing I’ve experienced recently is that boards tend to have warped incentives to keep backing their CEOs even if objectively they’re not good CEOs.
Yeah not having to be in the hot seat is crucial. Stuff like FAQs for personal things are helpful not just because they deduplicate effort, so people can just read it and grok your deal and then bond with you without excruciating rote ramp up, but also because it's emotionally exhausting to have to go through explanations about personal things, especially often, whereas pointing people to an FAQ alleviates that and actually makes further bonding possible bc you won't be harried and tired.

> More than 50 cycles of laundry were carried out using a standard household washing machine (Amana, USA). The light-emitting pixels were put into a water-permeable protective sack. Each laundry cycle was conducted using 10 ml of commercial liquid detergent (Tide, USA) at an auto-sensing mode with a duration of approximately 45 min, which included spinning, rinsing, and spin-drying. After each washing process, the light-emitting pixels were dried for at least 30 min using an air conditioning heater (PTAC, Amana, USA) at 26.7°C. In the machine washability tests, a standard “Amana” household washing machine was used, a methodology corroborated by numerous reputable studies (7, 36–38). The significance of international standards such as AATCC LP1-2021 or ISO 105-C06 is recognized, and their incorporation is anticipated for future evaluations to ensure improved reproducibility and validation.

You realize difficulty in dating goes beyond the binary of "has partner? Y/N"

Your article outlines several potential reasons. Many of which present challenges to young women as well. Do you talk to your female friends about dating? Most of the men in their 20s need a mom, not a girlfriend. There's a reason women are tending to date older guys... and it's really shallow to attribute that entirely to materialism.
Secure boot more or less prevents rootkits entirely
I don't mean to say they are cheating. I'm saying, in my experience, a lot of 'dating' nowadays in Gen Z is ambiguous. Zoomers call them 'situationships'.

Basically they're dating for a while and having sex, but never have a conversation about exclusivity or 'making it official'.

So in such a situation, one side might be under the impression they are 'boyfriend/girlfriend' because they are seeing each other frequently for months, having sex and so on, but the other side might think they're still just 'casually dating' and assume they're both free to play the field/'date around' still.

So it's not necessarily cheating. There's ambiguity/poor communication skills and one side thinks they're in a serious relationship, while the other thinks it's casual and therefore is seeing other people.
I think so. The big shifts are:

-production costs have dropped so much so there are more options from more content

-broadcast costs have dropped so you can have 4 hour podcasts for basically the same cost as 1 hour

-audience is global instead of local, so way more listeners

-asynchronous nature makes it easier to fit into your schedule. I can’t listen to my favorite talk radio show because I’m working. But I can listen to my favorite podcast whenever.

So this should mean that there’s more people, and more money. So investment makes sense.
>An observation: I switched to mainly reading my email in a text client (vi-cmdg, which is a fork of cmdg, a Gmail client that uses the API rather than IMAP - the fork has vim keybindings).

Welcome to the club. I've been using Emacs continuously for almost three decades, 99.9999% of the time text-only (whether Linux console, X terminal console, xterm, or SSH client) on a remote server. My email client is VM, written in Emacs Lisp. I've used it to read mail for almost as long as I've used Emacs.

VM (and ancillary tools, like Personality Crisis and mairix)

* does a great of job displaying HTML messages with Emacs's integrated W3M browser engine. For the very few that it doesn't, one keystroke sends the message to my web browser running locally.

* sends URLs I select (all from the keyboard) to the web browser (it doesn't use the add-number method; rather, W3M's built-in navigation keystrokes are available, including Tab and Shift-Tab for moving between links)

* opens images and attachments

* auto-adjusts the From: line of outgoing messages depending on the recipient

* archives messages to various folders using various criteria

* searches my archived mail at lightning speed

Of course, I can write Emacs Lisp code of my own to extend any or all of the above.

VM isn't perfect but, overall, I really feel like I have a superpower for email handling with it. (But I will check out cmdg; using the API is intriguing.)

> Used car with front wheel drive, preferably traction control, put Blizzaks on all four wheels and you’ll do OK in snow unless you insist on driving on unplowed roads.

There's more to cars in snowy climate than driving. OP clearly wants AWD, why tell him he doesn't really want it? As someone who's lived North most of their life, AWD is clearly a big advantage both for driving and for getting unstuck.

Have you never been snowed in by a snow plow and have to spend an hour trying to get out of a snow bank because your stupid front wheels won't grip? And then they finally grip but you drive a bit too far and you get over another snow bank and the front wheels are now lifted, losing all chances of getting out without spending another hour digging?

So in the end you arrive to work 2 hours late and with wet clothes from all the sweat and snow that got in while you fell repeatedly pushing your car?
This is not accurate. Do more research.
Steam has a tiered cut they introduced to keep big players on their store, for example. Google and Apple both offer a lower rate for small business. And alternative stores on PC successfully operate with much lower cuts (EGS, GOG, itch, humble). It's not "in line with the rest of the industry", it's "no higher than the other bad ones".

Steam also doesn't collect 30% for distribution (ie developer issued keys for things like bundles)
Yes and no. The hospital in my hometown is owned by PE. The situation is bad but they still exist, and are still the only hospital without driving half an hour to 'the big city'.

I haven't been in that loop since before covid, but last I heard they were running at a loss for years because they couldn't keep staff. The conditions (and pay) were abhorrent. They also really, really liked to buy entire practices from the most experienced doctors. The practice got absorbed and died quietly while the doctor would very understandably retire early or move far away.

So, yes, they've maintained market share. But only by virtue of being a natural monopoly.
I know of Doucet not because of games, but because of his extensive work and amazing writing in favor of a land value tax. Seeing this article title last month was such a gut punch.

So here is the interesting part. The physical aspect of money is really just a static representation: a coin or bill, a few coordinated bits. Producing those involves technology, moving them around also. How do you distinguish trade that involves money from the money itself? What is it about money that is a technology?

The fact that people give it a certain status is inherently social. It has no utility except in transfer from one person to another, giving it to your pet fish is meaningless to the fish and burning it for fuel utilizes it quite differently.
I would love to do an EV conversion of an old Subaru, but I'm not the handiest with cars myself, lack suitable garage space, and have not found any shops anywhere in the US that do conversions for anything other than classics. If you have a lead on EV conversions for 90s-ish cars, I'd really appreciate it.
No I haven’t but it sounds like you should carry kitty litter in your car.

I never understood the boom given the economics of the space.

Pretty much all the podcasts I regularly listen to are part of a larger brand/media ecosystem so they clearly aren't intended to make money as a standalone. Mostly a mix of guys with day jobs blowing off steam talking to people they find interesting, or media people with full time jobs on radio/tv or in print/etc. Bloomberg for example puts out a lot of interesting ones.
This to me is the larger issue. Younger people are more isolated than ever. Dating apps have commodified human intimacy in a way that will have generational consequences.

I was watching "Married at First Sight" in the background as filler noise, and something that stood out was a bachelor that had been on 100+ first dates in the past year. The second anything he didn't like came up, he would pull back and go on a different date. It's never been easier to say "there's always more fish in the sea" even though good relationships are built, not found.
I think this becomes clearer when you think about e.g. Walmart as something like an invasive species. When you take into account that they very often take far more than they give to a local environment, it's really hard to have any sympathy when they lose revenue through shoplifting, or whatever, by ALSO not employing and/or having a decent relationship with the people who live there.

If you minimize your screwing up their environment, they'll return the favor.
Does Apple even track app analytics? They definitely don’t share it with anyone.

I think you're looking for a 20-year-old car. The last car I had that met all these criteria was a 1999 Mazda. But you will have a hard time finding a car that was marketed in America 20 years ago, that realistically gets > 30 MPG.

Adding to the list of 2010s-era Japanese cars, the 2nd gen Mazda3s have good reliability without the "Toyota tax." If you don't want to go with a 10yo car, current Toyotas will let you disable the 4G modem by pressing a series of buttons, and have physical HVAC controls. There's pretty much no getting away from touchscreens in current cars, though. The only alternative is Mazda with their selector knob, but I've found it more distracting when I rented one.
Documentaries are usually painfully open about their agendas, like changing policies in Madagascar to save the lemurs, save the smokers, save the obese, etc. But no documentary until "The Billion Dollar Code" ever made me feel genuinely lied to and outright manipulated, and there's no way I would have known if I hadn't read the primary materials. When I discovered the deception, I edited the Terravision Wikipedia page to mention SRI, so there's clues for the next person who enjoys the series, but someone would have to write truthful secondary sources in order for the article to be improved further. Who can say who benefits from poking Google Maps in the eye. Netflix must have been tripping when they approved that one.
what we really need is a way to disable forced updates. how people are not more upset by that is beyond me. every time I say that people scream "BUT MUH SECURITY", as if thats the only thing that matters and nothing else should even be considered.

I am an adult. if I want to disable updates, I should be able to do so. give me multiple, loud warnings before doing so, fine, but dont stop people outright. otherwise its no longer an operating system, but a toy for babies.
During the part of my life when I lived in an intensely snowy climate, I never had a vehicle with four-wheel drive, and never had any issues. Four-wheel drive is a crutch to get you into situations your brakes can't get you out of.

I just bought a 2016 Volvo XC70. Only 40K miles. It checks all you boxes except the MPG (I think it's 28). It'll replace my 2004 XC70 - which only has 120K and could probably run for another 100K miles. But I was ready for an "upgrade" - including a backup camera and Bluetooth and USB port. I'll put on Blizzaks like I have on my current Volvo, and I'll be able to go anywhere in most any conditions.

Edit: I've a well-serviced 2004 XC70 for sale.
You fail to address the issue that none of these resolve the issue that people still don't follow best practices. This is especially true the further one is from best practices. The reason why cryptography is significantly better is not because the best research has been done. It's because it's impossible for cryptography work to be done without the best people because it's that hard. Drop cryptography engineers into this Post Office mess in the middle of the implementation and they'd say screw it, you can't pay me enough to deal with this crap. They'll leave to go work for an organization that respects them enough to listen to them and still make it worth their while.

You can talk about best practices all you want. You're not going to get most organizations to afford or convince the best people capable of following best practices to come work for them. And even if they did, those best people will leave before they can even change the technical culture. No effective person would put up with the insanity that exists in subpar organizations, many of which continue to exist in spite of their incompetence for many other reasons.

You have no concept of working in the real world where people who suck exist. You talk like you've only ever worked with all-star Linus Torvalds types. Of course it's easy to do what you are recommending when you're working on the Linux kernel, for FAANG, startups with competent founders, etc. All those organizations are able to do what you recommend for reasons that many other organizations can't.

You're a Xoogler working with startups. I get it. You're in that world. You have no idea how to fix an organization like the British Postal Office so that they will do IT competently.

Snow tires help you decelerate, and provide a bit of extra traction to accelerate from a dead stop.

4wd will get you moving from a dead stop as long as you aren't bottomed out. I've gotten several cars un-stuck with both a pickup truck and a UTV in 4wd, neither of which were bothered by the snow that had left the cars marooned.

AWD is better than FWD with snow tires if and only if it also has snow tires.
