It's being reduced though. A lot of private practices are being bought out by big (in many cases for-profit) hospital or doctor's groups, and the doctors are put on salaries instead of owning their practices. In many areas there

lol good catch! Obviously Python is a better programming language for normal work, but I'd still maintain BASIC is easier to get started with. The old 80s microcomputers were absolutely ideal for this, and the other magical thing was

I certainly wouldn't advocate writing production software in BASIC, but I'm not sure Python is better than BASIC as a first language. Suppose you're trying to do maybe the second program someone ever writes -- print out the n

I learned BASIC at age 7 and then shortly thereafter tried to learn C and failed because I couldn't seem to grasp pointers. Then I took a detour to x86 assembly language and then pointers just became obvious. The beauty of BASIC is th

Perhaps the tragic reason for NASA's success in the 60s was Kennedy's assassination. Kennedy set the goal and the deadline, and after his death, it could not be revised.

If you get narrow car seats you can get three across in the back in almost any car. You don’t have to use the latch anchors. The seatbelts work fine. Uber is a problem with really little kids, but you can get portable and even inflatable

Both the Photoshop/Pantone and the recent movie cases revolve around the issue where the seller only purchased a limited time license, but then sold a perpetual license to the content. To me this is simple fraud.

I believe that the government can look at the outside of the envelope or the contents of a postcard without a warrant. This was extended for phone surveillance to the phone numbers of incoming and outgoing calls, and presumably they have a

I wouldn't say I agree with this for the U.S., and Europe is a big place, but at least in Germany this is not true. In fact for example, in many apartment buildings, instead of having cleaners for the common areas, the residents are p

Stephen Pyne has written a few books about this [1] and given talks (this one is very good [2] [1] https://www.stephenpyne.com/works.htm [2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zP7MD2y7T8

I find the glass cockpit airspeed/altitude tapes to be significantly worse overall than analog dials. Not only is it easier to see rate of descent, but it's very easy to see whether the absolute number is where you want it to be.

Elon tends to get a pass (less so lately) because he delivers amazing things. Do the same thing and don't deliver and you're Elizabeth Holmes.

Yes. This is getting at it. But accountability to what? A for-profit corporation has accountability to its shareholders. If you're a shareholder, you can sell your shares. If enough people are willing to sell their shares at a low

The traction control on the Cybertruck looks pretty bad but to be fair the tires on the Cybertruck look really bad for off-roading. A lot of the comments here are about weight, motor torque, etc. Obviously if the wheels are slipping the t

I've been noticing this happening with the American flag, and it drives me crazy because that should be one thing that belongs to everyone.

Now that the UK is down to only submarines, the anti-nuclear people try to get rid of that. A couple of years ago, RT and Wilileaks trotted out this sailor that claimed that the British Trident fleet was unsafe and so they should retire it

I think that a lot of it comes down to marketing position and customer education/segmentation. From a purely technical standpoint, the Prius has a 3.2kWh battery, and the Prius Prime has a 6.8kWh battery. The Prius Prime has a rated r

By that argument though the $20 should also not be popular and we should just use $10s and $50s, but the $20 is very common and the default bill given out at ATMs.

There are four acts to the clause. It says first that you can't sell it, however, if you do want to sell it, Tesla has right of first refusal, but then the right of first refusal turns into a prohibition on sale again at the end.

There's a fourth part: "If Tesla declines to purchase your Vehicle, you may then resell your Vehicle to a third party only after receiving written consent from Tesla." You are simply not allowed to sell the vehicle you "

The war on rain hasn't worked. Many houses have leaky roofs and people get wet. This is painfully obvious to anyone. We should destroy all forms of shelter and we will finally be free.

All of the mid-size trucks (Tacoma, Ranger, Frontier) have 6 foot bed versions. Unfortunately they don't make the traditional pickup single row seat versions anymore, but you can still get a two door model with the little back seats.

The way the system is set up, if the drug is FDA approved, insurance companies and medicare basically have to pay for it, regardless of the price. The drug companies are testing exactly how far they can push this before the system changes.

I love the flatbed with the flip down sides. I used one of these in Europe, and they are incredibly convenient. You flip down the sides and load it up without having to reach over anything and then just flip them back up to drive. Unload

It’s a shame that they disturbed a quail nest on their last test flight and may have broken two of their eggs. They should be prohibited from launching. By the way I was just out for brunch this morning and had the most amazing brunch with
