I don't know about the violent overthrow stuff, but you're absolutely right about the simple consolidation of Constitutional violations with respect to travel into FBI and ICE. But that's how politics work, if you wave around

Not to put too fine a point on it, but do you consider handwriting comparisons "reliable and definitive"? Because juries regularly convict people in courts based on such evidence. Maybe a better question is, what is the level of &

Liberals and conservatives don't split support in the country 50/50. It's more like 20/20 and then that apathetic majority who can't be bothered to care enough to even vote is the rest. Given the nature of liberal a

If it makes you feel any better, I can assure you we've been using these technologies all along. Only we used it for people we claimed were "street criminals" and "gang members". It's just that now we're r

There are already attribution technologies that are reliable and definitive. There's no real technical reason that they wouldn't have the capability to directly attribute accounts. Now.. is any of that gonna stop John or Joan Q

Yeah. I kind of feel like people gloss over the seismic shift in computing power Apple silicon designs have ushered in. It seems like a lot of people on HN think of building these chips as almost an afterthought if they think of building th

In fairness, even offline they don’t have warrants. They just say, “reasonable suspicion”. I don’t know what the solution is, but trying to hide behind legal niceties is not going to get us very far. At least it hasn’t gotten US citizens ve

Fees mean very little. Go for the jugular. Impact the career of people putting out substandard papers. Come up with a score for "citation strength" or something. Any given bad actor with too many substandard papers to his/her

I swear the social parts of life are what keep the elderly going, in my experience. I could've sworn there was a paper, (or maybe just an article? can't remember), a long time ago about the community on a Mediterranean island so

"only"? Because there are so many alternative materials fit for purpose. /s That "only" is kind of "Jedi Hand Wave"-esque. That said, neither Spain, nor Congo are the be all end all. The required resources

Because they’re rich. In the US, the rich always win anyway. Full stop. If you believe otherwise, I’m sorry to say, but you’ve probably not been paying attention. Under the current administration, as under all administrations, it’s the poor

The material point is that the PE operated hospitals proliferate even in the absence of the regulations.
256.
by bilbo0s 1y ago
But PE owned hospitals also suck when there is no locally enforced monopoly. They even suck when it is easy to open competing hospitals.
257.
by bilbo0s 1y ago
This is another example of a requirement that both PE owned and non PE owned hospitals, presumably, followed.e (I would hope neither of them were ignoring standards of care in the treatment of patients.) Yet the metrics are substandard at o
258.
by bilbo0s 1y ago
Uh, because the original post implied that over regulation was the cause of substandard metrics in PE owned hospitals. It even went so far as to state, "..I'm not surprised by this finding.." after outlining a case for why ov

Oh that could indeed happen in that hypothetical timeline. But in that timeline the developer would be paying the malpractice premium. And it would be the developer's throat that gets choked when something goes awry. I'm betting d

Train the xray tech up a bit more. That's fine. But then the xray tech becomes the radiologist, and that becomes the point in the workflow that the insurer digs out the malpractice premiums. In essence, your xray techs would become r

by bilbo0s 1y ago
Nope. To understand why, you would really need to take a good read of the average PCP's malpractice policy. The policy for a specialist would be even more strict. You would need to change insurance policies before your workflow was eve

As someone already pointed out, PE owned hospitals are in states with, and in states without, CON requirements. Certainly on the face of that fact it would appear the existence, or nonexistence, of CON requirements has no effect on PE hospi

Material point is that people are misapprehending the direction of control here. The tenants have zero control. The only people allowed to reside at the property, are people the landlord has allowed to do so. Those approved residents are no

by bilbo0s 1y ago
Actually, if they rent the home, then they still don't have that control. The landlord does. S/he is free to put someone you don't like in the upstairs unit. Or even in the 5th bedroom of the house if it's a room letting

But this is just a tacit admission that a lot of jobs need the credential. And it's a slippery slope. Should, for instance, a chemist have the credential? It's easy to say, "No". Until you get another Bhopal. Basically y
