Not unlike roomate, which is really roommate.
I have mixed feelings about this.

On the one hand I don't want doctors to charge for an email consultation every time I need a prescription refilled.

On the other hand, maybe insurance companies should encourage doctors to do this by paying them (and not charge a copay) because it will reduce the need for office visits which will probably be cheaper for them overall?

Well, you just got an user. Love the concept of temporal, but i can't justify the overhead you need with infra to make it work for the upper guys... And the cloud offering is a bit expensive for small companies.
The title of the post isn't exactly inaccurate either. If we assume titles can be the subject matter, "Why Tolkien Hated Dune" is the subject being discussed isn't it? It's not like the author titled it "Here is why Tolkien hated Dune".
Depending on the use case, this is definitely an option. I personally prefer using Proxmox under my Container Orchestration hardware because, as it seems to always eventually do, my home lab has become production, and being able to do software patches of the underlying system without service outages is really desirable. I've been agonizing and going back and forth between various potential solutions for this for a couple months now, with the most recent attempt being "Deploy k3s, with a fully separate control plane from the worker nodes, and run all of those atop a Proxmox cluster because being able to migrate VMs across nodes and also stand up isolated workloads to test out other solutions makes changing things in the future far less risky".

That said, I was running the Homelab on effectively a single Unraid hyperconverged NAS/compute layer before then, and that worked wonders for quite a long time. I wouldn't consider Unraid my first choice now, given the advancements in TrueNAS SCALE in the time since I chose it as the solution, but the concept of NAS + Container Orchestrator as hyperconverged homelab today is quite attractive.
> So according to Apple [edit] one isn't allowed to say bad things about a company publicly or they are allowed to ban your account? Interesting view.

No, according to Apple, they believed Epic was going to violate their developer agreement again, and when they asked Sweeney for a commitment he sent them a two sentence email. His public actions were only a modifier on top of his seeming lack of committal and previous history of being a bad actor on Apple’s platform.

Spotify says bad things about Apple all the time, but they've never been banned because they've never violated Apple's rules.

Sure, but there's one clear answer to that question which you can refresh your memory of in under 3 minutes of reading.

C does live in the filesystem, but where in the filesystem? Oh and it doesn't always live in the filesystem--sometimes it lives in the package system.

The US came very close to passing similar legislation recently and it still could. This bill had bipartisan support. Apple was able to kill it using relationships with leadership, but the votes were there. My organization Fight for the Future worked on lobbying for this, and while it's super difficult to pass legislation over big company opposition, it's not impossible. We can have similar rules in the US if we keep pushing.

You don't even need a devtmpfs in the initramfs environment, and it may or may not even persist into the fully booted system.

In this case, my point is for a system where the "fully booted" state is still within an initramfs. There is no "new root" past the initramfs, it IS the rootfs which will run forever until the system is rebooted or shutdown.

Because computer science was one of the most in demand fields for many years, attracting the most ambitious and talented undergrads -- that is to say, the average google employee is pretty well educated likely via a liberal education institution.

Those who are educated are more able to clearly understand the consequences of their actions or inactions and understand lack of solidarity for others means lack of solidarity for yourself.

The purpose of liberal education is to teach people how to critically think and build a world that they themselves would like to live in, so when a liberally educated ambitious person realizes that they are contributing to building a lesser world it becomes problematic and they correctly feel a need to take responsibility for building a better future.

Add in a legacy of declaring that "don't be evil" is a founding principle and you are going to find people being pretty upset about being lured in with promises of social responsibility and like-minded peers, only to find an ethically devoid pursuit of next quarters profit that can be found at nearly any company in America.

Most likely, a person consuming greater than or equal to two cans of sugar-sweetened beverages a day is also consuming other foods that are sugar-sweetened. A retrospective cohort study design like this has no way of preventing that from confounding any conclusions about the impact of just beverages if you're otherwise eating identically.

I think "don't drink soda every day" is about as likely to be good advice for everyone as any diet advice a person gets, but as I ranted about in a very long comment yesterday, this is an inherent limitation of nutrition science. Even what is probably the actual study here that someone linked to says in its conclusion that what they found "supports current recommendations to limit the intake of SSBs even for physically active individuals." They make no claim that they found a concrete causal link and for sure soda will hurt you if it's your only vice.

I think there's enough popular disagreement on the issue at hand (Israel's response to Oct 7 attack) to say that for sure this issue is for sure a political one. You can't just handwave "ethics" from your high-horse and expect all the people that disagree with you to backdown.

There is a wide disagreement as to who is at fault and what is to be done here. Stakes are high, people are dying. Resolving that is pretty much the exclusive realm of politics, and (when that fails) warfare.
This is true, and as a recent convert, I would like to recommend that other Americans check out their local farmers market to see if there is a baker that sets up shop.

Good quote from Neil Peart.
Roll the bones
I agree that charging a fee can be fine. For me it's often a win-win. I spend less time having to go there, and the doctor can spend less time than an in-person visit and even do it on some down-time. But it's still a service, so paying about same as a regular doctor visit (about ~$20 or so here in Norway) is fine.

My biggest gripe here is that if the doctor answers me outside office hours, an additional "emergency / inconvenience fee" is added. Like, I can't control when you answer, and I didn't choose it. If I send in something during daytime and you didn't get to it, answer me the next day, then. Or make it a choice that I want a prioritized answer so at least I decide. It's just bonkers.
+1. They also will write new prescription for low-risk things. And you don't necessarily need video, they do it over messages and just ask for photos of symptoms, in some cases.

Why does the RabbitMQ dependency matter?

It was pretty painless for me to set up and write tests against. The operator works well and is really simple if you want to save money.

I mean, isn’t Hatchett another dependency? Graphile Worker? I like all these things, but why draw the line at one thing over another over essentially aesthetics?

You better start believing in dependencies if you’re a programmer.
Who knows what the future will bring (will we ever get AGI)?

Needless to say, fundamentals, that is, math (geometry, algebra, and calculus) and physics (mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics).

Some basic algorithms/techniques such as backpropagation, triangle ray tracing and rasterization, and some fundamental awareness that you can compute anything given 5-6 instructions (Turing completeness). Knowing how to program in a language like Python might suffice.

Then there are skills that are essential to maintain your life, such as fire making, fishing, and water filtration. You need to get energy someway.

MindMed’s MM120 is set to compete with such drugs as Spravato, a type of ketamine that, for now, is the only FDA-approved nasal spray for treatment-resistant depression. When Spravato came to market in 2019, its manufacturer Johnson & Johnson charged $4,720 to $6,785 per dose.

>American pastas are more often than not highly processed components that have lost their nutritional value then have been enriched with low quality multi-vitamins.

What's the source of that claim? America's most popular pasta brand is Barilla (also probably Italy's most popular brand), and that's made with exactly the same ingredients, process and machinery in the US as it is in Italy.

Then buy 51% of shares, do a hostile takeover and stop their anti-competitive madness before it is too late.

30% isn't some outlier share though? It also has been that way since the beginning, so it's not like they achieved their market position and then jacked up the prices; it's been this way the whole time - and, in fact, they've added programs where smaller businesses only pay a 15% commission..

When my wife was pregnant the OB gave her a list of foods to eat during the first trimester nausea and ice cream was listed because it's a good source of protein. So there's definitely some aspect of judging by a single metric. I've busted my butt making semolina pasta before and eaten way less than if I buy a box of barilla because it was a lot more pains-taking.
Culture is a very hard thing to change at any company, including in the face of existential threats. Look at what's happening at Google with AI.

"We are a walled garden and will not interoperate or tolerate alternatives" is in Apple's DNA, and no decision maker at any level at the company will risk suggesting otherwise for fear of being branded a traitor, even if it is a very good idea.

In other words, "don't eat the kind of diet that people who drink two or more cans of soda per week tend to eat"?

If the message here is supposed to be “if you eat sensible portions of healthy foods and lots of vegetables but you also drink two Dr Peppers a week then you’re going to have measurably worse health outcomes” then I sure want to understand that.

Was sugar considered to be heavily studied too?
I’m not defending Apple’s stance here, but I think the point they were making is that Epic had already admitted to intentionally breaking their previous agreements with Apple for their own gain. The court then ruled that Apple could ban Epic for any reason. Sweeney essentially called the new terms illegitimate while at the same time entering a new agreement where those terms applied to Epic. It’s somewhat understandable that, when seeing that, Apple would not trust Epic to not intentionally break the rules again.

I personally think it’s silly to believe that Apple cares even a little about Epic’s criticism. They probably thought they had a legitimate case that would let them stomp out a potential big App Store competitor before it could get off the ground.
How do we know that (re 'ultimate' and 'it's the best')?

Dictionaries don’t determine how populations actually use words. They either tell you what the author thinks the word should mean, or more optimistically how a population used to use a word, with considerable lag between updates. When a dictionary fails to capture the meaning of how people use a word, is that a failure of the dictionary, or the people using the word?

To be clear, you are not wrong for having your own definition, but neither are others. Which is what I’m trying to communicate.

Again, what’s most important is to hear what people are actually saying in good faith, instead of trying to jam it into the shape we’d prefer. If so many people have a more complex definition of forgiveness than expected, does constantly waggling a finger and pointing to another definition facilitate communication, or does it start resembling gaslighting? For many people, telling them to “forgive” is identical to telling them to say “it’s fine/it’s no problem anymore”. What a dictionary says is irrelevant here, is the above what you really want to say, even accidentally?

When a population is clearly split on word meaning, then frankly the best thing to do is find a better word that can properly separate the concepts being used. Or just call it what it is, “letting go of anger/resentment”. Frankly that’s a lot more clear on the scope and benefits of what is being talked about. Perhaps psychology has something applicable, dunno.

> If you're an EU citizen travelling to the US, that's kinda playing on easy mode

Whatever country you are traveling from, the procedures are the same. The only variation is if you need a visa or not.

What changes from one country to another are the rules the US will apply to decide if they'll allow your entry or not. But that's not something you do.

Services like those sell two things, the legitimate one is knowledge of the rules. But for US entry, the rules are some 5 or so steps you can easily get on their immigration pages. If your country has an embassy, the steps will be even translated to your language. The other one is bribes, that I don't believe would apply to the OP's case. So yeah, it's nothing more than a scam.
