That’s wrong. The poor people who don’t pay are Medicare and Medicaid patients, and both pay for medically necessary transportation. Those calls essentially cover the base business expenses.

EMTs are like veterinarians. Lovely people who get ruthlessly exploited. Benefits are garbage unless you’re a unionized public employee.

Ambulance crews are almost never 2 paramedics. Most often they transport and do BLS only. If they are it’s because a local government is paying for that service. EMTs make minimum wage. The people who own ambulances typically have a little

The thing with the Economist is that they have a style that’s like an erudite version of the old Time magazine — that is stories written to say what the editors want. Except the economist is way more dogmatic. I used to read it regularly. I

I’m imagine that’s coming soon. Most new large cars are getting turbos now to meet federal and state standards, the turbos wear faster and I’m sure there will be a desire to validate them.

I bought a fancy Toyota SUV after my trusty 2008 Honda was damaged in an accident. The nagging is ridiculous. I’m actually not quite sure what lane assist does, but if I look at my side mirror it chastises me for not being attentive. It als

The military thing is a much bigger flywheel. A lot of technology really comes out of military research or is supported in key ways by military projects. Healthcare was similar until the wage stagnation really started impacting the ability

It’s the logical next step for the crypto bros. At this point it’s just political patronage for the small time MAGA grifters who are outside of the big boy financial frauds.

In Ukraine, that was last year. The persistent drone surveillance and strike capability and fire radars have made them very vulnerable to counter battery/drone fires. The failure of legacy air power to sustain in a hostile environment

Artillery and air power killed fortresses. De-industrialization and technology pretty much killed artillery And sustained air power engagements seem to be difficult for the same reasons. Drones democratize airpower but have significant limi

With a metastudy based on EMR data, I’d only use this to advocate for studying the issue further. Information like this get collected at a point in time and never goes away. People have EMR fatigue and click though the questions. Anecdotal

It doesn’t matter to these people. The guy is an official martyr now. Phoney patriots supposedly representing phony religion looking the stage a coup.

They are optimizing for time and cost, not message board clout :) They presort regionally and the trucks at the delivery stations are loaded with assigned containers/pouches of packages. It doesn’t make sense to hold a truck for a pouc

That service was really weird. They had a special arrangement with the post office. They’d slice cold cuts in New Jersey, and have USPS bring it to upstate NY and deliver before 8AM. There would literally be a mail van with two orders in it

There’s a whole layer of companies providing these data centers. CoreWeave is one example, and there are many others. SpaceX is in this business in their gross Memphis facility. The big providers lease capacity in addition to their own capi

That’s just a minor speed bump in the circus of criminality that has been created by the US regime. When Elon did his thing, it was way more than just firing federal workers. They dismantled key parts of the regulatory system. The SEC was p

Personally, I think GenX are the lost. (I'm a late GenX) Our colleages took the brunt of the global war on terror, and because we entered the workforce at the peak boomer pivot away from the pre-Internet era of business those of us tha

Tesla and I think Rivian goes deep into the computer as a control surface. They save $10 not having a handle for the glovebox or whatever. GM just wants to extract a pound of flesh. All are companies making dumb decisions by ignoring what c

They do spying to understand the capabilities of allies and adversary weapons. The goal is to maintain supremacy and slow down development. The US had a spy in the Soviet era that provided the entire Soviet radar roadmap into the 1990s, and

It matters for combat readiness. The F-35, which was optimized for congressional district employment, has an effective 25% readiness rate (another 25% can fly but not fight), which is half of the 40 year old F-15C and 1/3 the newer F-1

The good news for China is we fired or reassigned most of the counterespionage agents to chase gardeners, so lots of technology transfer is happening.

This was almost 20 years ago now so yes and no! We wired up the network monitoring systems which built out the hierarchy of network gear, then used a fairly lightweight filter/rules engine to dedupe and normalize events. For example a

Years ago I worked on an event system that correlated about 500k daily events to about 40 actionable daily events. A big part of it used prolog to map artifacts to application to business and technical accountable individuals. So if a down

No. Parallel construction means they have an illegal bugging device in the courthouse bathroom, and use a conversation that you have with your attorney to identify a witness. Then they independently arrest the witness for something and pres
