80% of their billing was from Medicare and Medicaid. Part of the blame here lies with the governance of those institutions to continue paying claims to this provider. No matter what else the hospital leadership did, if they had had those do

Boo. We used to make up our own names. A group of accountants: a drab.

This is like that time, last week, when I was having issues with do-release-upgrade and someone helpfully suggested to run sudo apt-get purge python* && sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get install python* Which I did with

I was joking around with my freight broker that I should start a hot shot operation up. He responded that in all seriousness, that demand in my state had outstripped capacity by 2 to 3 times because of increased delivery demands, largely du

Ugh. I literally just bought a second GPU for IOMMU for this application. Fuck it, FreeCAD!

I'm with you on this. 20+ years. My usual MO is to walk away from interviews that have jump-scare whiteboarding or require a quiz prior to an actual interview. I recently broke my own code at an interview and was rewarded with complete

Check out non-ACA-qualified insurance. Mine is cheap, low-deductible, and covers catastrophic events. For working numbers, its $415 per month, $2500 deductible and per person/year maximum out of pocket, $5000 for the family. I pay a bi

Finders keepers is actually a pretty strong argument in a case such as this. For instance, years ago, I had a business account of mine attached because an employee with signatory privileges had a garnishment against him. The judge ruled tha

"The idea grew especially popular during the Great Depression, when market failures dried up the supply of cash in circulation." I mean, if you define an executive order seizing money as a "market failure", sure. Or conv

The $10K limit is a federal regulatory requirement. You have to fill out paperwork and provide identification that is turned over to law enforcement for review.

Yes. I would imagine prices would fall rather steeply as the amount of available housing shot through the roof. I bet good money that the decrease in rental prices after a eviction-pocalypse would be significantly more than a stimulus check

Unless your four-year is paid for, community college for core curriculum is a better and better deal every year.

HOAs survive because they are able to socialize long-term costs of maintaining them. If an HOA mandates single-family dwellings and large set-backs, then it should be directly responsible for road maintenance, sanitation, fire, etc. If you

If it helps. I'm a free market type. We've been railing against zoning regulations for decades. Here's an article from Mises.org (about as free-market as you can find) from 2010 railing against it: https://mises.or

"The social impacts of computer vision" says more about the hype around the subject matter than anything. It's marketing, not science. Computer vision isn't that cool, yet. Running a deep convolutional network is a sales

Whatever. I'm sure LeCun will be dying for another job. Gebru undermines her own cause by being a shitty ambassador. While asking for deep empathy in a radically marginal area of inter-sectional study, she seems to lack any of her own.

It's a fantastic reason. Writing code is a job. A well-run business is dictated by factors that will usually dominate language design. If these other languages were better in a holistic sense, businesses would switch. I would argue aga

Maybe for common formats, but that assumes the file was correctly named to start with. It also assumes there's a trivial or reasonable conversion between formats. What happens if I rename a CAD file to MP3? The failure of engineering w

Oh, man. Who lied to you about healthcare compensation? Just go check glassdoor. Major IT companies bail on healthcare because margins suck and it's enormously regulated. I give you, for instance, DICOM, Hl7, Meaningful Use, Infobutton

Telecoms usually pay for their monopoly privileges. This is just a shakedown. The same way Microsoft was deemed a "monopoly" and what? Unbundled explorer? Is anyone seriously worried about their monopoly now? There's always a

A consent wall is consent and this ruling is why I hope European regulatory bodies fall into a hole. How do you think those "free" articles are paid for? They're paid for with cookies. This is the same wall that separates me

So, to be clear, price controls never work. Prices are determined (mostly and usually) by supply and demand. More demand -> higher price. More supply -> lower price. The price of an education (regardless of cost structures, public fun
