Mixing private with public does lead to spiralling costs. To me it seems like a system such as the one in Germany offers good outcomes at a reasonable price, while not denying anyone care.

Interesting that you seem to imply that the private sector is the one with overhead issues...

I think the current explicit f-string syntax actually aids readability. When I see an f-string, I’m immediately aware that some interpolation is taking place, and my eyes can quickly scan for the braces. Additionally, it helps me to differe

I mean, they don’t solve the same problems, so I’m not sure how useful this comparison is. I know some people do have an irrational hatred of JQuery, but in my experience most people’s views are more along the lines of “sure, JQuery is grea

Attempting to force market-like incentives on the public sector often ends up working even worse than a purely public system, it seems to me. Use public or private, but mixing the two leads to odd incentive issues and bad outcomes.

There are also rumours (and I stress, rumours) that healthcare workers are getting more severe disease due to being infected with a higher infectious load. This would also fit with this theory.

Some 15% of people become “seriously” unwell, and require medical intervention such as oxygen. In a situation where the peak is hit unmitigated, these people will not get the medical care they need, and a lot of them will die.

I’m not sure this is true. The enormity of the amount of things that need to be configured before it becomes usable leads new people to use things like Spacemacs etc. This means they rely on other peoples’ config, and aren’t able to customi

This man was killed because he drank fish tank cleaner. Frankly, I don’t believe his death is causally linked to certain people speculating that hydroxychlorouine might be an effective treatment.

There’s definitely some danger in people downplaying this virus, I totally agree. But I don’t see that happening in this comment section. I see people discussing how the virus might work, and trying to explain why these examples have been o

The Oxford study is based on blatantly, and easily demonstrably, bad data. For example it relies on only 1 out of every 1000 infections needing hospitalisation. This is not supported by any current evidence. https://www.wired.co.
