AFAIK, the other hospitals/clinics under the Northwestern umbrella don't really factor into whether the downtown Northwestern Memorial campus qualifies for 340B The money is shared at the system level. The referrals are to&#x2

For example, Northwestern University (in the middle of downtown Chicago) got itself reclassified as a rural hospital in order to participate in the program. This is also a bit misleading though right? Northwestern was obliged to put 11 ot

I don't know man? The issue is that, most of the time, " incredibly dense cities " are not the places where this is hitting the hardest. It's the smaller towns where the impact of hospital rollups hits hardest on the pro

So true. You can only complain about creativity if you were actually being creative. 99.99999% of the industry was not. But sure, for the 0.000001% of the industry coming up with new deep learning algorithms instead of just TF/PyTorch

Sure. But no one stops you from writing software again. It's not that PE's can't design or review buildings in whatever city the egregious failure happened. It's that PE's can't design or review buildings at a

Yeah. This reporter very likely knew who she was dealing with. For users like her, everything is likely locked down and she probably didn't do much sharing. I'm thinking that, to her, her sources would be probably one of the most

Meh. On one level, it's fair. If everyone has similar services margins, then it's, at one level, disingenuous to single out Apple. At the same time, I have to say that, to my mind, the comment is whatabout-ism. Right now we'r

Apple is not as lazy as anyone else, don't believe the hype. That assertion is a bit overblown. And people can easily find out it's overblown with a bit of research. But at the same time, my whole philosophy is never let it touch

It does. There will be loads more people who will want software customized to themselves and their needs! The catch, of course, is that there are, all of a sudden, a whole lot more people who will now be able to create that software. How

Yes it has changed. But when I was in Scottsdale, I still considered it a long shot. The hot idea down there at that time was that giant Arizona desert PV farms would feed California electricity. They would send it back in the form of water

They're not segregated by zip, they're segregated by city . If you live in Scottsdale, not in a certain zip, and the ish hits the fan water-wise, Phoenix is not giving you water. It's up to Scottsdale to provide you services

California isn't even the problem. They're rich enough and big enough, (and fortuitously situated enough), that they just crank up desal plants and go happily on their way. What about the rest of the west? Arizona? New Mexico? Nev

That won't do anything. No one at a gun range is changing their vote. Both parties already know which voters change their votes depending on the situation. The data's already told strategists in both parties that the hotspots are,

None of that. The SEO solution is to be in the list of results that the search engines return to the LLM. That list is relatively small. You don't even get into the "LLM evaluation" stage unless you're one of the top X n

You are shortsighted. What Trump has proven is that millions of single issue voters can be created on any issue if a political party desires it. Underestimating this reality will only keep political parties that depend on unwritten rules of

Yep. Totally disingenuous to say, "Hey! Look at the richest region in the US! They have electric trains. Why can't we?" Well, make my state the fourth largest economy in the world and we'd have electric trains too.

To be fair, Dell has bigger, more fundamental threats out on the horizon right now than consumers not wanting AI. Making consumers want things is fixable in any number of ways. Tariffs?.. Supply chain issues in a fracturing global order?..

Make no mistake, it's the same in Russia. Globally, it's pretty much oligarchs all the way down.

Here’s the thing, this isn’t an acquisition. This is Nvidia hiring a few guys. What’s the government supposed to do? Tell those guys they can only work for one startup and they can never leave it? You can’t tell people what jobs they can an

That’s just it. We’ve entered a new era. Big companies don’t need your startup. They only need your smart guys. Just those few guys. You keep the rest of your engineers and figure out what to do with them. And lately, the answer has been, “
