You inspired me to look at the local hospital we just delivered our first child at. They release 'standard charges' which as far as I can tell means 'the range of charges for this particular diagnosis based on past data'

Things they would love more: Accepting the cash price after billing the person for the full price and writing off the difference.

It could also very possibly be that your distribution isn’t one population but two. Embed a small over performing population within a larger normally performing /underperforming population. You don’t j ow who’s cheating, you don’t know

exactly. And their recourse against that over reach is what? The backpage attack tracks with every other government action that uses law enforcement for moralizing.

By who? You really think a corporation is going to sue police for playing music? That would risk copyright laws being opened up further…benign neglect will rule the day here, bad faith actors rely on everyone else being to afraid to call th

Prosecutors don’t grant change of venue requests… Are you suggesting the courts in this country are unfair? I’m shocked. Maybe this would have more credibility if Black marijuana users were granted such a strident public defense of bad fai

Get a court to rule against cops “innocently playing music” …good luck

I can’t imagine ASCAP doesn’t find cops who behave like this as kinfolk.

I’m surprised they actually got the mistrial. Prosecutorial misconduct is one of the fundamental problems facing this country…it transcends many issues dear to the left and the right.

I wholeheartedly agree. Where is the line in deep conviction? can I steal if I had a deeply held religious conviction that it is appropriate?

> it's useful for a society to formally acknowledge an authority that's greater than the individuals to whom it gives political power. yes, as you noted...that higher authority is society not god. The concept of god is an attem

I’m aware of the other groups existing. When such a group represents police it is fundamentally different and should be treated with much greater suspicion.

And it should be one that we tolerate. There are lots of infringements on speech, especially professional speech. The idea that somehow a group empowered by the state to commit violence in defense of the states policies have a more sacrosan

Chips are also obvious because they are a discrete thing that is at the end of one long supply chain and then beginning of other long supply chains.

Another term that could be applied is 'bad faith'. We're much better at calling individuals out on bad faith behavior than we are at companies.

a plea bargain is by rule a conviction. It is simply an alternative route to one. A plea bargain is where a bargain is struck between some prosecuting authority and the accused wherein the accused pleads guilty in exchange for some no

It’s very easy to not be convicted under the law when you cut a deal with one court where no other court can even attempt to convict you.

I find this response really intriguing. We as citizens are perfectly capable of handling people lying to us...we do it with children, coworkers, salespeople, advertising, etc. Why is the standard response to fix the police. Obviously, they

I think that may be a too narrow vision of “transformative” improvement. I worked in a factory where one of the biggest, and hardest, improvements we made was coaching the managers and engineers to leave the technicians alone when they we

Institutional review boards (IRBs) take a very tight view of doing research in prisoners specifically for this reason. The environment is inherently coercive and when someone wields this much power of you there is very little that you would

The problem with this argument is that the rhetoric is the same whether or not it was gendered. If you see a pattern of people applying a standard disequitably, whether or not the standard is explicitly disequitable it’s worth discussing. I

I can’t speak to NIF but back in undergrad I got to tour a similar facility at the University of Rochester[0] called the laser energetics lab. It’s a similar enormous laser. If I remember, and it’s surely not exactly the same thing, a lot

The DOE is a fascinating organization btw…anyone who is so nonchalant about public oversight and security practices that the DOD gets angry at them has to be fun at parties.

I don't disagree with that but the language, norms, and content knowledge of ANY discioline result in a specific discourse that doesn't necessarily generalize or share easily. It's the reason education folks and STEM folks ge

you disagree with the thesis of someone's argument. Mapping that to 'straight liar' is unlikely to lead to meaningful understanding of their point or sincere engagement with their work...its an unhelpful epistemic and ontolog
