I think the reasons are just that: an administration change, fumbling about, lawsuits (if any) among other things. One specific reason appears to be that some hospitals were able to file waivers apply for exceptions. [1]. Not that I agree w

Really? Thats actually a super interesting theory that I had never considered before. Any more info, I'd love to look into this.

I understand that is the intent, but again, seems unfeasible and more then likely, impossible. So again - how does one enforce this?

Asking because I would genuinely love to know. But how could they enforce a provision like that in the current globalized economy? China for good and bad is basically the worlds factory and even if a product is made in the US, chances are s

It might not be so much that the fiber itself is expensive. It might just be the conduit or other delivery mechanism that can be rather costly to run. But in general, fiber is absolutely a viable option for rural communities, usually if the

As someone who works for an HIE and in the interoperability space, I feel like we have been talking about FHIR for the last decade. Hopefully it hits critical mass soon but I doubt it.

Not really anecdotal, Bernie Sanders did "lead" a "caravan" of US citizens into Canada for cheaper insulin. https://web.archive.org/web/20220521183320/https://www.nytim...

I would think it is fairly common knowledge that insulin is rather expensive in the US, and while the sample size is small, anecdotal evidence from my experience in health IT and working with social determinants of health seems to indicate

DN42 < https://dn42.eu/Home > gets mentioned a lot. Its basically a big dynamic VPN that you can do BGP stuff with. Pretty cool but I could never get my node working properly.

I am really not surprised. I'm under 30, about to get married have a decent paying job but the uncertainty of a lot of things (Healthcare, inflation, global warming, just to name a few) has both me and my SO still unsure if we want kid

Probably not the minority. I know I would appreciate a flush back but lets be real consumers really don't have a ton of influence on a design choice like this.

Oh yeah, hardware access is no problem. Its just cost, for me atleast. Finding people to connect would also be difficult. Funny you mention hammers. I checked and my local ham group is run by a bunch of right-wing nut jobs, so I don't

Personally, I would say this is a much smaller issue than GNU/Linux simply not being pre-installed on machines and sold at retailers. I think there would be much better adoption if people could simply walk into a store like Best Buy an

Right? I am not really sure I see the problem. It seems to me like Huawei is just submitting clean-up patches and the maintainer has higher expectations of what patches they should be submitting. Granted I am not a developer not a maintaine

Fair point. I guess it just depends on what groups you are in and the norms that are present in said groups.

I thought it might be kind of obvious but I think I tend to forget that things posted online are missing some critical context. So anyways, I really I don't want to be dismissive of fair and valid criticisms but its hard to articulate

I agree, I'm not saying you should have your entire life uprooted because you said something stupid on Twitter when you were like 13. The situation in this case is a little different. Again, don't be a dick or try to avoid it when

ISPs cannot compete with local cities offering the fastest and cheapest access in their area, so rather than improving the services offered or incentivizing their customers they simply buy a stake in the Ohio legislature and ban the competi
