It doesn’t matter where he was when he deleted the data. He could be in China, it’s still a crime in the us to destroy evidence wanted by American authorities.

Of course there are plenty of complaints to be made about insurers. The death panels aren’t one of them though. Mangione had a horrible, incurable back issue, and wanted an expensive experimental treatment that wouldn’t work. It was good th

Not really. It’s proclaiming itself to be the party of right populists that also does tax cuts for the rich in exchange for donations/corruption

This country's lack of death panels is one of the biggest contributors to our heinously overpriced healthcare system. Insurers stopping doctors from prescribing shit that doesnt work is literally the only thing keeping costs down in th

And democrats were the party of slavery, these things change since there are only 2 parties in the country

Direct democracy is exactly how you get fiscal policy of wracking up massive debt. Voters will never choose to balance the budget

by HDThoreaun 2mo ago
There is no fiscal conservative option in the US at this point. The republicans are just right populists now

Ive also witnessed this first hand and had the opposite experience. A significant number of WFH employees were not doing the work expected of them. Yes this is a management issue, but many companies have crappy management.

> no other world power would sign up for this kind of relationship with Israel Which is exactly why they'll feel like a cornered animal and become even more violent. Israel has a competent defense industry, they do not need foreign

If the US backs out the hard liners gain even more control, ally with china, and begin their final solution to the palestinian problem. Israelis would go north korea before a one state solution.

What actaully happened to the luddites is they completely failed in their goal to slow down the industrial revolution and force business owners to pay their cartel.

Why would israelis ever agree to give up control of their government? They hold all the cards here, any solution will have to be one that favors israel because the status quo is just fine for them

Even if the memory market was completely competitive the time it takes to expand supply is measured in years. There was no way for them to serve the AI demand without reducing supply given to everyone else in the short run

This is certainly true to an extent, but it ignores some big problems with fee for service. The biggest one is that incentives between patients and providers are not aligned, which means more than 10% of healthcare provided in the US is was

medicare is basically the biggest culprit for the "too much paperwork" stuff. A m4a plan that doesnt involve capitation would have even more paperwork than the current system does.

Radio0logists have been replaced by AI. Its just that we do so much more radiology now that we need way more of them

Where Hinton was right: AI has and will continue to significantly change the field of radiology including making radiologists more productive. Where Hinton was wrong: He figured if each radiologist could do twice as much work we'd only

> "No one said the amount of radiology work would decrease" I was talking about number of scans analyzed, not time. In fact, the decrease in the amount of time it takes to do radiology work is exactly why they are now paid more

He got 45B under management because he published his investment thesis and a lot of tech bros agreed with it. They thought he had a novel investment idea and gave him money to enact it.

The radiology stuff is just jevons paradox combined with liability issues. No one said the amount of radiology work would decrease, the issue is that the ai boosters didnt realize that healthcare providers number one priority is not getting

Well facebook just beat the ad blockers without working together with their ad customers

The ad team runs the whole business at meta. If theres an issue they dont have control over theyll just take control of that part of the code.

I think the linked semi-analysis piece is about right. Google is more focused on protecting its 4.2 trillion dollar golden goose than pushing cutting edge which leads to a bureaucratic nightmare that researchers simply dont need to engage w

Every time nvidia takes its fab time and uses it to build anything other than datacenter chips it is losing money due to the massive markups the datacenter products have. Expanding their consumer offering means the datacenter backlog is goi

school buses only work because their customers have no other options. Take a look at transportation methods among Dallas high schoolers old enough to drive. Suddenly big yellow buses arent so popular.
