I don't think there is any country outside the US where a healthcare system would have paid for his untested two biologic combination. Do you have any examples?

This guy's condition is tragic, but it's crazy to me that people can read this and come away thinking the insurance companies are the bad guys. Many drugs don't work, they are expensive. If there are no voices in the room say

I don't understand what you're trying to say here

Where is the list? And what if I don't know the category exists?

You can read the actual scientific content of the article and decide for yourself EDIT: When it released, seems like they have not published yet

I think you're confused about which samples you are talking about. The samples discussed in the article you linked to did not come from the lab. You can read your own link to see "They do not provide evidence either for or against

That's not what I said, you can harm somebody who is too young to understand. I'm claiming that nothing bad happens to you from information being traded about you, under whatever definition of "bad" you prefer

Harm is when something bad happens to someone, and the someone is aware of it

I don't and I've never worked on ads in any way, but I use them

How many businesses have you built? Have you thought about acquiring customers without ads? Have you ever talked to anyone who built a business before Internet advertising? You don't know how good we have it
401.
by mgraczyk 2y ago
No it's not what's happening. The sites I visit and the sort of information that is used for ads isn't sensitive. I'd happily share it Also, most people wouldn't actually be harmed by what you're describing. It

You get used to it in a few days, and it's part of the reason why businesses grow so much faster in the US (especially online). People who want your product find out about it much faster. For example I buy SaaS, and the way I hear abou

Nothing is being forced on you. Just don't buy the product. We're not talking about your church or your kids school, it's a website you can choose not to visit

The 10 will all be born rich And almost no startups extract or exploit. The reason Europe is so poor and not growing is because of this dark turn toward zero sum thinking. Startups literally create new wealth, it's not taken from somew

Neither, I do it to make money in a way that also helps other people. Almost nothing worth doing is zero sum, and most businesses are positive sum. UBI won't work in the US, we have enough data now that I've moved on

Ads aren't money, they are a thing you spend money on. What you're describing is leveling the playing field. Without Ads you'd have 10 entrepreneurs. With it you have 10000

No, those are different things. Tracking me around the Internet is fine though, I don't mind and it has never harmed anyone. If you show me an office full of distractions and say, "would you like to work here? It comes with distra

I'm old enough to know that in the past the Internet was for a few, and now it is for many.

No but I don't care, and business class now is cheaper than basic fare 30 years ago If there were a less uncomfortable and cheaper option, many more people would fly

The real price of airline fare has been going down for decades, and aside from the Covid dip it is the lowest it has ever been. In part thanks to changes like this I almost never bring a carry on and it bothers me that I have to pay for it

by mgraczyk 2y ago
I would actually take most of these for lower fare (except the last one)

All of the numbered qualities listed are true of some cryptocurrency, and it would be easy for the Fed to issue a CBDC that has all of them. In fact all but one (tolling) are event true of BTC

That's not the position of the article. Did you get to the part where it says > Because privacy is something that regular folks value for licit reasons, their welfare would be reduced. There is a tradeoff which the article discusses

A long time ago I interviewed at an Andy Rubin company building something similar for telepresence. I asked, why wouldn't the user just mount a few iPads on the wall? It would be cheaper. Their answer made no sense, and the product nev

The main problem isn't that it isn't a science, but that to the extent that science is used in sociology, it's mostly badly done. Findings don't replicate, data is used to tell lies, policy built on scientific findings i

Are any of the MOND theories consistent with this new data also consistent with recent gravitational wave observations? My understanding is that gravitational wave detectors have recently ruled out most plausible MOND theories. The linked p

Thanks for the reply! At large companies with many designers, a lot of time is spent coordinating and planning. LLMs can already help with that. As far as design/copilot goes, I think there are reasons to be much more optimistic. Exist

I worked on the Qualcomm DSP architecture team for a year, so I have a little experience with this area but not a ton. The author here is missing a few important things about chip design. Most of the time spent and work done is not writing

You can do a mutex in like 10 bytes, how could redis be more memory efficient?

All modern AI technology can give more power to humans, you just have to use the right tools. Every AI tool I can think of has made me more productive. LLMs help me write code faster and understand new libraries, image generation helps me b
