This is true - but they're usually more predictable. Absolutely nothing in the US healthcare market is guaranteed. And, tbh, in healthcare there can always be complications - a simple surgery or treatment might turn into something

If it's an expensive procedure and you want to know what the cost will be you'll usually want to submit for prior authorization before the procedure. In an emergency this isn't an option but for any other treatment this can

This problem is going to get even more fun as AI driven Prior Authorization denials get more prevalent.

As someone close to the insurance industry I suspect this would just lead to a revolving door of Doctor Nicks that get cushy jobs for life and sip margaritas by the pool while their "reputation is ruined" - we need a better approa

I'm still not convinced that the best strategy isn't just to take the acquisition money and bail. Any sort of large corporate acquisition is going to lead directly into a few years of spending an outsized amount of time just conv

That's quite true aye - we really need an anti-trust lawsuit against them.

Tallow and lard are definitely excellent alternatives - but yea I was suggesting seed oils like peanut, safflower, sunflower or canola/rapeseed. Rendered fats have a weird reputation as there were health crazes that demonized it in th

If Taylor Swift had required fans to register in person at a DMV in a series of three different appointments two weeks apart she still would have sold out - when the demand is that high it becomes a bad data point for comparison.

The biggest game changer is actually just using a cooking oil - there are plenty of alternatives that will have absolutely no impact on the final taste... and olive oil actually has a relatively low smoke point compared to other cooking oil

Still, the involvement of ticketmaster will scare off a lot of potential customers - that company is more toxic than saying "Brought to you by Comcast and Bank of America".

Most mid-sized youtubers make a lot more in patreon than they do in advertising revenue and see their content as a way to generate more patreon revenue rather than caring any revenue directly from their content - I also think it's much

YouTube premium's cost is unreasonable compared to the ad revenue they're missing out on. I personally don't mind covering the lost income from ads but I'm not going to pay simply to avoid being abused. And this model

My protip for anyone who has arbitrary food or drink restrictions is to come with dietary restrictions - as soon as you ask for a low sodium vegan gluten free sandwich the company will give you a hall pass to bring your own food in.

Sorry, just to clarify, arbitration isn't a new concept or one that would need implementation - it has always been an option for any legal dispute. In fact a lot of divorces go through a mediator instead of a judge since the differenc

That doesn't make PayPal immune to being overwhelmed by arbitration requests, it just requires clients to file separately (which they generally should be doing anyways).

No - it's not possible to avoid. However, arbitrators aren't robots, if claims are being filed in a clearly malicious or frivolous manner you can expect a level headed mediator to provide a remedy. In a case where one million peo

Yes, you always want to retain your own lawyer - and it will be cheaper to hire a lawyer to see through an arbitration than a full lawsuit. Additionally most of the binding arbitration agreements I've seen consign the cost of the arbi

Arbitration is always an option if mutually agreed to between both parties though. I don't think anyone want to completely outlaw arbitration, just prevent companies from restricting customers from pursuing regular lawsuits (especiall

Uber's[1] is usually held up as a prime example of these agreements - and reading through it the only carve out they allow seems to be for sexual assault[2]. IANAL but to my reading the only other carve out is when binding arbitration

I don't think it should be legal to be able to surrender the ability to pursue legal action outside of very specific waivers. I'm fine with companies incentivizing arbitration but if a company is able to fully block regular legal

Especially if you're going through an IPO or ownership exchange - put every document in front of a lawyer and accountant. You don't want to miss your opportunity to sell or make a mistake on the taxes.

Now that you're familiar with BEM you can use the perfect css approach `.page__inner__title-f-green {color:#0f0;}` imagine the portability!

by munk-a 3y ago
It's extremely important to create classes like `.f-green` in case the definition of green ever changes. That's what we call forward portability. Also, if your company rebrands from green to red you can just `.f-green {color:#f0

The bank isn't named Tresor - it's named Treezor. That's quite a bit closer to Trezor than Tresor. Anyways, if companies are going to use made up words for their names I'm happy to always deny them the benefit of the do

Eh, at this point can we just stop with the echoing of old memes? I used PHP4 and have used it continuously up to the modern day. If it's not your choice of language that's fine - language choice is pretty unimportant in the gra

Depends the environment you're working in - there are several cultures within the US where I think your statement is quite true... but in general people find that working for a company that doesn't care for them is a detriment and
