Technological advancement seems like a pretty big culprit here? An MRI wasn't available at any price in 1982 so the fact that it's available now makes it look like "imaging prices have gone up" even though the imaging th

936.
by bandrami 10mo ago
I mean, if we're talking Christensenian disruption, that happens in neglected markets rather than currently dysfunctional ones. There's no shortage of actors wronging money out of health care so there's not a disruptable s

IDK, the owners of retail clothing chains buy yachts and yet that sector is jaw-droppingly efficient at delivering clothes to people. Executives can be annoying tools but I don't think their pay is the problem.

And "disruption" (a pretty ill-defined term) is the solution to that?

Has anybody tried getting an LLM to pitch them an idea for software that they then implement themselves? I might actually try that now...

There have been incredibly clever attacks based on tricking intervening routers into routing the traffic to the target gateway, but more prosaicly my next hop ISP is itself a threat I worry about.
