Fortunately, even if hypothetically Texas and California will diverge even more and implement even more diverging laws, they will still be more similar than two random EU countries. They will have common legal language, they will have common federal law applied to both, they will have the same freedom of personal movement as exists today. All of the more important things for the business. I'm talking about business outlook here, not personal freedoms or other problems applied to individuals.

Let's imagine for a second you want to create a startup making cell phones, or cars, or TVs etc. You base in say Texas for the taxes, but workforce can freely move to the Texas from California. They have zero language barrier, they have zero legal barrier. Legal, highly skilled immigrants in California can freely move to Texas for work. The product you make has to conform with both Cali and Texas laws, bud federal ones are unified. It needs to be localized for 1 single language. And it can be immediately sold to the 350mil market with minimal changes. Now if you do the same in France, you are limited with French workforce, because of the language barrier and legal barriers. Then to sell to the whole EU you need to comply with 24 laws and localize to 21 language. And support all that. EU company is less competitive on this basis alone, plus USA doing brain drain (which they foolishly want to limit now) is not helping.
Our healthcare system is complicated by the fact America has much larger wealth disparities and more complex regulations stemming from a republican government with disparate laws among the states. Also the baumol effect: America has a significantly more developed tech and finance sectors compared to Europe which inflates the cost of less productive service based industries like healthcare.

The system can't be "just changed" because it's a very complex issue with a lot of entrenched interests. There has to be sufficient political will at the top levels of government that simply doesn't currently exist (in either the Democrats or Republicans).

I like the wording leftover money. My index fund has an "expense ratio" of 0.06% or something like that. Any money that doesn't go toward a patient directly, including everything from CEO bonus to call center expenses should be added as an expense that does not go directly to the patient and this expense ratio should be advertised front and center everywhere.

However, I don't think the problem is truly fixable without Medicare for all or similar single payer scheme. There is just a huge gap in not just bargaining power but just knowledge of the market information between the seller (hospitals and health care providers) and the buyers (sick people) that a free market solution can't even work in theory. Even if you ignore the fact that I can't exactly shop around when I have an emergency any more than I can shop around when my house is on fire. The only viable solution is single payer and the sooner we get there, the better for everyone.

It's using data from the Integrative Human Microbiome Project [1], so, in a sense, hundreds of high-quality biological replicas support their findings. Obelisks were found in a substantial portion of them.

They then expanded the search to millions of sequences, which are publicly available, and found ~30k different classes(!) of Obelisk elements. One could argue that the quality of each of these "experiments" may not be as good as IHMP, but still, the signal is more than sufficient to clearly demonstrate the existence and implied significance of these elements.

Why Customer Journey Mapping Matters
Thank you for this insightful answer.
Love the design. One small comment (not really feedback, just my opinion), it would be cool to see this adjusted for modern resolutions and monitors. So it would adapt to a large monitor and spread out horizontally and scale a bit while retaining the overall style etc.

So a kind of "remaster" of the old style. I wouldn't mind if this trend returns.
Do you have any clear idea yet what the proteins do that the obelisks code for?
Yes. There is a lot of money in this, and not really any regulations.

you're suggesting that the entire difference in cost/benefit between the US and EU model is due to research and development? that seems wildly unsubstantiated. the google blurb puts it at 6% of US spending, but its unclear how much of that is actual research and how much is product development and marketing.

The point, I think, is that a lot of people pathologize "this is just a me problem" to the point that they don't want to bring things up at all, particularly if it's not someone they're very familiar with, because while some people react reasonably to, for example, "please do not include a graphic description of bugs crawling around, I had a really bad experience once and it still bothers me to think about", some people will also very deliberately introduce things for that reason.

Or perhaps you say "I don't like it if X" when you really meant "I am going to have a full blown trauma flashback if you surprise me with X", and they think that you meant what you said, and it's something they would do with all the maliciousness of hanging a "boo!" sign on your front door one day.

The goal is, I think, to recognize that a lot of people are bad at being the first one to bring things up, as well as a lot of people being bad at "reading the room", and set up an explicit normal structure to reduce the friction of doing so.

(Whether they succeeded or not is a different question, but I think that was the goal - to try and make it feel more normal and part of the structure and expectations, and thus have lower friction to bring things up a priori and in the moment, rather than people feeling like "I'm the problem" if there's no explicit moment for it and they have to ask.)

Yes, you can't make people be good people, but you can try to provide tools to make it feel more like the normal part of setting up and running your game to leave explicit room for them to say something. More or less the difference between saying "you can call us after filling out the paperwork and have us add manual edits to what you filled out" and "you can just include a form 412 and check the boxes for which things apply, and fill out an other box at the bottom if it's not covered".
Policy wonks attempt to address this cognitive failure by coining terms to distinquish subsets of people without a permanent shelter (not by choice).

Pharmaceutical companies and hospitals both have much higher profit margins than insurance companies and represent a much larger share of the total cost of healthcare than insurance companies so while I don't think they're the entire problem, they are at least part of it. You and another commenter make a good point regarding inefficiencies in claims processing but I'd be curious to know how substantial that is relative to the entire cost of care.

Inflation is a symptom.

Related or not (Covid was a big shock after all), "rich" countries have been living way over their means for many decades now (in terms of natural resources). It's particularly wild to see people calling for a return to the "norm" that were the post-WW2 decades : that wasn't a "norm", that was the fastest growth period that mankind had ever seen (and probably will ever see) !

So now (since the 1970s) we are way over due for a correction... which is probably going to look like a few centuries of recession with a few good years (for some maybe even good decades) thrown in here and there.

> I enter carbs but only to a resolution of 10g; and as I mentioned earlier I sometimes forget to enter them entirely.

I'm pretty bad at accurately entering carbs. I eat out enough that I've just gotten to the point where I just come up with a rough estimate (which is often wrong). Which means I have to adjust later pretty frequently with snacks or correction doses. Not ideal, but I got so much "carb counting fatigue" over the years.

> Are you using a Dexcom with your omnipod? My impression is that the quality of sensor is the most important factor; with a flaky sensor looping algorithms will be more conservative since they (reasonably) prioritize avoiding lows.

Yeah, I'm on the G6 still. I think the quality of my readings is pretty good, but the Omnipod 5 algorithm is pretty conservative anyway: rather than naturally bringing you down from a high, you usually have to explicitly give yourself a correction dose. Which I suppose makes sense, but I have read that some people have had a lot more success with looping in Androidaps vs the Omnipod 5's algo.

I also wish you could set the "target" a bit lower in the 5. You can't tell it to target below 120: I feel like 100 or 110 would be more reasonable, but again, it makes sense that they prefer being conservative.

> It's entirely legal to arm teachers under Federal law.

Apparently it still requires the state to explicitly authorize it, and states allowing teachers to do this is a relatively recent development. So now we get to find out if it works, e.g. if school shootings in Texas go up or down relative to the trend in states that don't do this.

Question for the techies here: Due to lack of political will and deep-seated corruption I believe a lot of issues in the US system are almost unfixable but I always wonder why it has to be so convoluted (besides being hyper-expensive).

Why can't the insurers have an app where the patient (or the provider) can type in the procedure codes they are planning to use and then the insurer returns the co-pay, co-insurance and other cost based on the plan the person is in? The insurer must have these systems already internally so why not mandate to give access to the calculations to patient? I had several occasions where I tried to figure out how much something would cost and the answer was "we can only tell you after the procedure was done".

This seems to be totally doable to me.

It is same with housing where US housing market is supposedly worse compared to Asia, Europe, Australia or anywhere. Despite clear evidence that housing is increasingly more expensive all over the world. In places where people don't earn half or one-third of US, homes are sometimes more expensive than US. And there is no NIMBYism or bad regulations there to cause high prices.

It gets a little complicated around old pieces like that.

As usual, I am not a lawyer, consult a legal professional before making any decisions based on this information.

Even though an old work like that is in the public domain, if it was played as a recording, whoever owns the rights to the recording still has a claim to copyright.

But even if it was played live and sung by the attendees, that doesn't necessarily mean the sheet music is public domain. Pianos from hundreds of years ago didn't play exactly like a modern piano, so there may have been an intermediary step where the original piece was modified to work on a modern piano when the sheet music went to print. The modifications to the sheet music could grant the person who sold the book a copyright.

Doesn't necessarily mean the person has a valid claim, but it's not impossible.

> Because money is just a tool for allocating resources.
> often devolves into rationing

Just to expand upon what you're saying a bit; most people don't view things in such terms which I think is unfortunate. You often see discussions about waiting times in single payer healthcare systems and cost in more free-market systems. The fact of the matter is that if demand is greater than supply you must ration the supply somehow. Prices are one way but not the only way. Waiting lines, by need, randomly, etc... are all valid rationing mechanisms as well.

What I've noticed is that when people don't view this is a resource allocation problem they are able to always see the greener grass somewhere else. They see the lack of treatment of a person or group of persons as a failing of their system where those people would have received treatment in a different system that uses a different rationing mechanism. The issue is that in a different system there would still be people who don't receive treatment, they would just be different people.

By not viewing it as a resource allocation problem I think it gives the appearance that there is a perfect solution and that its just political will halting its implementation.

I think the healthcare (and other) systems suck because they are complex. There are two ways to hid information: lock it up (lack of transparency) OR dilute it amongst noise. The latter is what complex systems of whatever do. Complex systems create opportunity for those with enough resources to locate and exploit eddies of wealth in the system. While those without the time and resources to spend understanding the complex system just decry it because it is too difficult to understand.
The NHS structurally basically has to get worse no matter who is in charge:

- the cost of top healthcare will keep going up as new technology is invented

- the amount of care you need keeps going up as the population ages

- GDP can't grow because of various political constraints (Brexit, planning permission, Green Belt, environmental rules, etc)

- Tax revenue can't rise much because it's already ~40% of GDP

- NHS can't grow as a percentage of the budget because of competing commitments (pension triple lock must, in the long run, grow as a percentage of GDP)

I'm sure Labour and Starmer want to fix the NHS, but it's like trying to play chess when you're already mated.

I didn't intend to criticize your description of the situation. My intent was to criticize the people who (allegedly) had that goal, because it has become clear that the result of the policy was not to cause user frustration and have that lead to companies improving their privacy practices. Instead, the result of the policy was simply to increase user frustration without improving privacy practies.

Startups and bigger companies too, up to international megacorporations. Companies get more workforce and faster time to market for less cost. EU gets better financial regulation (not more, but better). Competitive products means competitive salaries, which slows brain drain and allows for better export to import ratio. It is always better to export as much refined and hitech product as possible.
Not “due to” in the sense that that’s where the money directly goes, but concerns about slowing medical innovation are one of the big arguments that are raised against reform proposals in the US. In Europe, my understanding is that this is broadly not a concern and few health systems take fully incentivizing new therapies as a design criterion.
I agree that it should go faster.

Unfortunately government bureaucracies basically operate in low trust mode because of accumulated scar tissue from previous problems.

Ripping out guard rails without building a high trust environment is asking for a speed run of all of the scar tissue to reform.

The fact that you characterized a slow process as corrupt, when a huge amount of the slowness is because of mandated rules put in place to attempt to mitigate corruption is in itself a sign of the low trust hell that these regulators live in.
