> end privatization of healthcare

100%: Nationalize all healthcare providers and facilities. Forgive any outstanding student loans. Expropriate all property used in healthcare delivery. Make medical licensing contingent on public employment. Set up compulsory public housing accommodations at healthcare facilities for every person involved in healthcare delivery. Establish healthcare unions to negotiate working conditions and wages. Use evidence based scientific measurement of expected quality of life years to justify any treatment allowed on a first come first served basis. Anything less is anti-ethical and unhuman.
Ironically properties of groups were one of the first things to come to mind where working on an abstract level makes sense. You can convince yourself groups are an interesting interface/definition (both with a couple concrete examples plus a fuzzy argument that anything you want to call "symmetries" ought to be a group), but then if you want to understand something like commutators and abelianization, I don't really see any insight from working with concrete groups. The point is more abstract: [G,G] is normal (easy to show), so you can mod it out, and doing so gives you "G but everything commutes" (because you quotiented away all the commutators).

Similarly I'm not sure there's a lot of understanding to be gained from writing down cosets (as in the actual list of set members). It's still necessary to know how to calculate, but the understanding of what you're trying to do comes from the fundamental theorem on homomorphisms/first isomorphism theorem. You'll never get it from looking at cosets, and in some way it's actually a bit of a distraction IMO. They're often kind of just there to prove quotients exist.

Tensor products feel similar I think: actually constructing the tensor product is not terribly interesting and mostly just demonstrates that it exists. Focusing on the concrete definition makes it easy to miss the forest for the trees.

Maybe having given a couple examples, we can extend it to the abstract idea that universal properties are usually more interesting than the associated concrete constructions. :-)
An yes. The inevitable, long-predicted end of Moore's Law.
Doctorow also referred to DMCA section 1201 violations (the infamous "anti-circumvention" law) as "felony contempt of business model"
Centrally planning a project is not bad and it was not bad even in USSR. What usually goes wrong is the implementation, where lack of ownership and widespread corruption makes the resource utilization perform pretty bad.

Socialist or Communist countries did some good projects, I saw quite a lot. Implementation, management and long term operation went bad.

Because iPhones are not layers of glass glued together from either end, with a battery sandwiched in-between. Apple gets a lot of shit (deservedly or not), but they have taken pains to make refreshing their phones (battery, screen, etc) a not-garbage experience

If you want to replace a battery on a relatively modern Samsung flagship, you will likely swear, drink, and/or curse the engineers that decided "Glass and glue is good enough"
Your experience with "such tools" covers experience with Mise, or are you just making assumptions?

My experience with Mise is that it's a great tool.
This is about Medicare Advantage [0] specifically, and how it's apparently more costly than traditional Medicare, even after accounting for confounding factors.

Assuming no hardware changes to the 6502 memory access, why would a system routine to output characters necessarily be slower than one that you code that accesses hardware directly?
So there was an episode of “The rest is entertainment” and Richard Osman was saying that TV quizzes are killing the “most watched” lists - but no-one has figured out how to monetise and make that killer app,

This one seems a good try - the mechanic where people trying to solve a daily puzzle are actually building the larger questions is interesting and speaks to the scaling problem.

That sounds very strange to me. If the adjuster has this information, why the need for a review from a consulting doctor? And why would the consulting doctor not be expected to know the costs of these treatment options, at least in relation to alternative options?
I have seen more than one old geezer in NS trains reading the news on the Teletext app on the smartphone :)

zstandard with the correct flags and more cpu/time-intensive options, when creating the compressed file, can be almost as good in ratio as xz.
A concept I learned about in Knowledge Based AI (gatech ONSCS) is called “version spaces” where instead of starting at specific examples and moving to be more general or the other way around you do both as a kind of knowledge bidirectional search. I feel humans work that way too. We need both specific examples and generic models to help us converge to a deeper understanding of topics.
if you use asdf you can drop mise right in and it'll work the same but faster and with better supply-chain security. people have been doing this for almost 2 years and mise fits that use-case perfectly.

You don't have to touch the env vars and tasks stuff.

> um, that's kind of....the diametric opposite of what an overwhelming majority of Americans just voted for.

Point taken about the election outcome, but to quibble, it wasn't "an overwhelming majority of Americans". It was a bare majority of voters. Trump got 50% of the vote with 64% turnout, so it was under a third of the eligible voting population, and of course nobody under age 18.
Anesthesiology average salaries

I wasn’t sure if adding text is considered good form when submitting a link to a project I’m not part of. I followed the guidelines and did not editorialize the title. Surprisingly, ‘zkVM’ is a unique acronym, and search only returned relevant results.
“Public-private partnership” normally refers to public money going to private enterprise. I’m not sure what private money going to quasi-public higher ed, publically administered(?) would qualify as.
Your employer wouldn’t be on the hook for the costs, so I can’t see why they’d care. The legal and social risks would be gigantic for both your employer and the insurance company.

I imagine insurance companies have other easier tricks to delay or deny treatment before considering something like this.

The fact that evidence is likely to make the jury act on factors outside of the law, combined with it being irrelevant to any legally relevant point in dispute, weighs heavily against it being allowed to be presented at all.
I'm genuinely curious, what countries work this way? I've never heard of it, every system has some form of rationing as far as I know.
I'd wager that America is culturally closer to the UK and Italy than Germany (ironically enough), particularly with regard to our attitudes towards social welfare. A decade after ACA's full implementation, I'm thinking that we maybe can't be trusted with Germany's model. It's all-or-nothing, as far as the greater system goes; sprinkle some private coverage on top for the wealthy, if you must.
Ignoring the task runner stuff, Mise is great just as a "better asdf". It allows many more package sources (including pipx, go and cargo), and it puts the actual executables on PATH -- not shims like asdf, which has a tendency to break stuff.
I don’t think this goes far enough. Kids see adverts for this stuff in so many other places, TV is just one small step. Take a kid into a supermarket and there’s junk food advertised everywhere.
Many people think overpopulation is a legitimate concern. I suspect the argument would be "who cares about social security if we kill the planet" (or something along those lines).

Not my view, just suggesting who might believe the "children as selfish luxury" line.
I followed the link in the docs to the page on the hash function. There's a DJB-2 algorithm on that page, but no DJB-1
I think you should give `mise` a chance. I believe it can help improve your workflow.

It's better at managing tools than `asdf`, very close to `direnv` and superior to `make` as a task runner (more verbose but much easier to understand). One of the advantages is that `mise` tasks can be standalone files (you can even write file tasks in python if you prefer, see https://mise.jdx.dev/tasks/file-tasks.html)

China has the C919 (equivalent to a Boeing 737 or A320), which still relies on imported engines, but the country is also developing its own jet engines for commercial use. They would accelerate those efforts if there were an export ban.

Wait until people realize the ladder is a treadmill and any movement is an illusion of entropy.

This is neat, and remarkably small. I personally need more comments in order to follow, say, the growth logic. I see it rehashes but I don't see how it doesn't potentially overwrite entries on the way.

Algorithm for hash collisions is just to find the next empty slot (linear probing)? What happens when the original entry is removed, are the ones in subsequent slots cycled backwards? I don't see that...

Also the name is new to me! TIL 'salmagundi' is an English word (not even a loan-word) for a type of salad made of many ingredients: an excellent name for a hash map that can contain many effectively random items.
True. I feel, this is why sometimes, the notation

a_0 + a_1 + ... + a_n

is easier to understand than the shorter

sum(i = 0 to n) a_i

.

But on the other hand, 2 or 3 elements of the sum are usually enough, i.e. you probably wouldn't improve understanding by writing out the first 10 elements or so.
> No one knows why the CEO was killed.

Whatever the shooter's motive was, you can't deny that the public mood is ugly. There was scarcely any sympathy for Thompson, just an avalanche of gleeful mockery and complaints about healthcare claim handling. The problems are widespread enough that having someone snap because, say, their parents' claims have been denied, is completely believable.
Baffling to me how advertising to those without a stable source of above living-cost income is allowed in the first place. Let alone advertising to children.

It's likely downvoted because it's irrelevant. Very few (if any) private plans in the US would cover it either.
I'v been a lot down the Catacombs, and still go sometimes, but I think you have a too grandiose view of their significance.

Their most ancient existence is as stone carries, the storage of bones only started late, in the XVIIIth century.

They never really held big significance for Parisians.

To quote a great play: “what comes next”?

What’s always missing from these calls to action is: what are you replacing it with? There are a number of healthcare programs across the world and every country has a variety of different problems. There are no silver bullets.

If you want a great read about a few different countries, I recommend The Healing of America by T.R. Reid. It has some suggestions, but in general it is great at illustrating how treating the same illness in different countries can be varied in terms of treatment and cost.
Recording good audio remains more difficult than artificial intelligence.
I've been in such relationship once, albeit only few months. Took me few years to recover fully but it was a lifelong wakeup lesson and I started properly looking into psychology. Afterwards, no mysteries in the opposite camp anymore and straight to my wife now.

How to handle various relationships and personalities should be mandatory psychology 101 somewhere around beginning of high school. It would make whole mankind behave a bit better overall, no doubt there.

The problem with your comment is, kids are by far the biggest stressor in marriages. Wonderfully working, fully matching couples are pushed sometimes to their limits and beautiful relationships become just surviving hardships next to each other. You can't fully know how the opposite will handle this, even under good circumstances, god forbid something ain't right (like post natal health issues in kid or mother), even when trying to use psychology a bit. Sometimes it works, sometimes it fails in myriad ways. You could have felt your ex was the one for life while pro creating, thats happening during (brutally) easy times.
>My experience with such tools is that when you do everything, you don't do anything right.

Does it matter? Even dedicated tools don't do everything right.

As long as it does the things one wants to do good enough, and offers a cohesive interface to them...
Helped me so much that I can't describe it, highly recommend it
Coincidentally, I got a call from a West Texas oil man who is burning natural gas. He's too remote and there is no easy way to move the natural gas to market. It's all being wasted. There are companies in Texas that purchase natural gas, but I was skeptical. His idea is to use this free energy to mine bitcoin. Then this article.

So, why not? Unfortunately, I don't know enough to guide him. If you do, contact me and I'll put you in touch.
Can we do gambling ads next? We banned tobacco ads and then seemingly forgot the lesson that it's actually bad to let advertisers shove addictive and self-destructive products in the publics face, including to former addicts at risk of relapse.
What about adverts on YouTube and TikTok and other online platforms? I doubt kids/teenagers watch much TV at all these days.
It's a first step. The larger point here is awareness.
It's real wealth and productivity growth has dramatically outpaced peer nations over the last 40 years.

How much longer will the jury be out? Will it come back in my lifetime?
> such interference could have an enormous negative impact on the economy

My main economic risk right now is that the German government is a mix of people who want to declare the current situation an economic emergency because without that they have a constitutional obligation to not borrow enough to stimulate it, vs. people who don't want to do that.

My second major risk is that if Ukraine and NATO collapses, Russian tanks may not stop until my house is a thousand kilometres in their rear view mirrors.

Not only is the specific fight the state of Florida had with the corporation of Disney not important, the state and the corporation are also not important.

But weirdly, I know about it.
Forgetting that we just leapt over the fact that the conditions of this planet are the only-evidence for the genesis of Life, and went straight to evolution, and while you logic is sound in theory, I'd again point to the probable fact that the necessary conditions for Life are massively underestimated.

Perhaps mostly in terms of genesis, but also sustainability and even given theoretical evolutionary differences for hypothetical aliens.

But genesis is really the only discussion that matters. Which is also very true for those that believe that there is a good possibility for alien Life.

The math is beyond me to do, but I once got into a conversation with Claude that sought to find the probable distance of the nearest exoplanet that has possible Earth like conditions matching only a couple of additional factors that aren't commonly considered. Whereas I have dozens more. Claude's estimation was that the nearest such planet would be over two million light years away.

Another conversation sought to understand the probability of an exact replica of this solar system somewhere else in the Universe. That probability is zero.
No, it certainly isn't. But it is a social sin to admit otherwise.

For me, it led to depression, therapy and medication. The first time in my life I'd experienced actual clinical depression. We do have a particularly challenging situation though. I'm always tired, ill, stressed, eat unhealthy, don't exercise enough. Being a parent is all consuming.

It has been getting easier as they get a bit older, and I love my children in all the ways a typical father does. I'd literally die for them. But a lot of the time I just do not enjoy it.
I don’t think this would be a good idea… these areas are not the result of desertification but are naturally desert ecosystems. The only way to make them anything else would be to take even more water from bordering non desert areas, which are already severely impacted by all of the water taken to support huge cities and green lawns in the southwest deserts.

For carbon storage it would make more sense to regrow forest in places that naturally have water and soil that support forest.
Strictly speaking, you haven't offered anything to respond to.

Just simply repeating things like :

- "there are unknowns" thus "god is the way"

- "the universe is beautiful, thus god"

- "Truth, Truth, Truth, I know the Truth, listen to me, I know the Truth, you just need to realize it, you can't see it, I can see it".

People have been repeating these same ideas for thousands of years.

When the mother breastfeeds, and dad just fills in around the cracks without directly “providing care” beyond holding the kiddo and changing diapers, how can they be judged for feeling aloof? When are they bonding?

You should consider softening your tone, being a dad is fucking hard.
Some plans, like the one in the article, obviously do.

This is the paradox of US healthcare: it's probably the most advanced in the world if you/your insurer can foot the bill, but that's an enormous if.
My measured upload was 26.2Mbps. They offered me an upgraded upload speed package, I accepted it and am paying for it. It is still 26.2Mbps. I rebooted the CPE, waited months. Nothing changed.
>The company also has a 1.53% dividend yield[1].

I don't get it, is the implication that it's too high? Too low?

>If you're paying a significant chunk of your yearly earnings to be covered by UNH, you expect the money you paid to go towards providing you with service. Instead, tens of millions of it goes towards a handful of individuals

UNH took in 371.6 billion in revenue and made 23.14 billion in profit last year. "tens of millions" is a rounding error.
I was too young at the time, but the perspective here in Tennessee at least is that the wmd allegations were seen as an American and british boondoggle. Were France, Germany, Spain all aboard that train? I thought "the west" had a half hearted push back against the idiocy. Would love to be informed before my Google searches if anyone has their 2¢.
SEPA is not free - it's just often free for consumers (and likely until your bank considers your usage patterns to be 'too business like')

and it can't be free.. even though the systems might have no further marginal cost per transaction, banks still need to do anti-money laundering checks, and someone's gotta pay for that

Totally agree, but it seems likely to me that diet can make a body more or less hospitable to cancer, which in turn could lend less or more effectiveness of targeted therapies.

All very true, but in this case there is no balancing act. Blocking prospective Chinese students from receiving education abroad punishes only the students and also helps the government in perpetuating their censorship, as this student will now never get to enjoy uncensored access to the internet.

> Denmark, where I live now, has the luxury of commanding massive taxes from its citizens to finance its projects,

Well, so does the US - which is also able to do defict-spending much more easily due to the USD's role as a global reserve currency. But as you've pointed out, a huge part of it feeds the military-industrial complex - and that's a part (but not nearly the most important part) of how it struggles to expend on public infrastructure. Also, red tape is mostly not a per-capita thing; that kind of red tape is mostly in distributed execution rather than decision-making, legislation and such.

But point taken regarding Danish overspending on predatory contractors.
>I don’t worry about Girl. At least for now. It’s not difficult to see how traits that are adorable in a two-year old can cause heartache as a teen. Thankfully, Ozempic has arrived just in time to solve what I’ve always worried would be her greatest weakness.

...Ew. I now worry about Girl. Projecting an eating disorder onto a two year old is indicative of a parental complex, which is in turn a surefire route to a genuine eating disorder.
That's an astute observation, especially when I think of all the earliest Sonic marketing material illustrations that came out of Japan.
DOCSIS was unrelated, but was absolutely helped by Sega Channel. Sending data down the wire required cleaning up the signal sent out from the cable plant (and into the sega channel unit) a ton relative to analog cable at the time
This is true, but some of the problems show up in outcomes and some don’t. Sure, I’d rather not wait six weeks for an appointment. But if you can’t show me any sort of worse health outcomes related to those waits, then that seems like a reasonable tradeoff for single digit percentages of gdp.
There is nothing "legitimate" about ads that track me and that I would block anyway.
overwhelming majority of Americans just voted for.

Trump won with a plurality of 64% of registered voters which works out to about 45% of the overall population. Put another way, less than a quarter of the population voted for this shit.
