What you are looking for is called Direct Primary Care. It exists in nearly every major city in the US at this point, and is very affordable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGZaRnC1wNg to hear one doctor talk about how th

Colorado has this cool law which, as far as I can gather, requires hospitals to report prices for various conditions. It results in tools like this: https://cha.fhsclearquote.com/ You put in your zip code, how far you want

Personally, I find the recipe of kindness, honesty, laughter, generosity, loyalty, plus a bit of magic to be both practically effective and somewhat philosophically profound.

Happens in real life, too. The income level of the top 10% and the top 1% and the top 0.1% are relatively stable in aggregate, but who is in each of those categories changes drastically over time.

I don't have special knowledge of the particulars of the internship, but characterizing the effect as creating a ghetto makes sense to me, and I can try to explain why. Have you ever heard the argument that donating free clothing to Af

Haha! On point. I can identify with that article. Man, there's this wonderful quote about this I wish I could find, about how women were somehow sold the idea that the working world, the land of heart attacks and ulcers, was where t

Addendum - these ideas are not original to me. If this way of thinking resonates with you, here are a couple of the things I've been watching and listening to that taught me to think this way. They're worth your time. Men Have P

That's a great loss. Freedom and rights are wonderful things. But as I see them used to justify censorship, I can't help but think that's exactly what's happening: they're being used . I don't know about you,

That's how I feel about it, too. There is no war. Women are not oppressed, men are not oppressors. We're all just people with problems who need support and compassion. Besides being morally wrong, a tribal approach is limiting.

This argument is exactly analogous to the argument that privacy is for people with something to hide. There's a very good response to that argument, and it applies here as well. It runs thus: sometimes society is wrong. Every advancem

That doesn't seem like a mystery to me. The argument in favor of tabs boils down to "tab damage won't happen". The argument in favor of spaces boils down to "tab damage will happen". I know which of those tw

No. It is the pride of independence. I can provide, rather than being a dependent. It is literally being the one who has the power to make your family's life better, rather than being one of the powerless. Being able to provide yo

Egg yolks are one of my favorite examples of things that look simple but really, really, really are not. Its structure is intricate, much like a Chinese set of nested spheres carved from a single block of jade. We see the fi

Well, this is a subset of the things the military has given us. It has also given us duct tape, for example. And NASA gave us velcro. The common theme here, it seems to me, is that when people are working in hostile environments for high

Automated tests are code, and come with all the engineering and maintenance concerns of 'real' code. They don't do anything for your customers, though, so are only appropriate when they actually make your work faster or safer

Wow, seriously? I know this sort of thing is the fashion these days on the internet, but dude. I'm standing right here. Anyway. To take the comment seriously -- if only it were that easy! Perhaps one of the biggest selling points of

The resources involved in preventing a GRB from hitting us, on the other hand, are . . . . . . actually I have absolutely no idea how you would practically do that at all.

Haha! My link doesn't go to a video about meteors. Your point is taken, though. I was just being cute and/or hoping you hadn't heard about this. But I have heard the possibility of a GRB discussed seriously as a motivator

The mirror doesn't do the swapping - you do. If you hold a piece of paper so you can read it, you have to turn it around to show it to a mirror. Did you turn it up/down? The mirror shows it upside down. Did you turn it left&

I find it horrifying. Newborns need to bond with their mothers. Keep them both under observation if you must. Separating them is cruel.

That doesn't make sense to me. I have, many times in the last year, had a doctor say to me some variation on, "this isn't dangerous, but it could become so -- we'll keep an eye on it." So it's not that they ca

I've heard the same said of getting mammograms started earlier in life: they don't recommend it because the time spent chasing benign lumps is neither safe nor efficient. This always seemed to me a terrible indictment of how medic
