Not exactly. Only some are paid per session, as this is typically private medicine, which is not the normal in most of the world. Publicly funded medicine accounts for the great majority of work done, and these doctors around the World are

Can confirm many doctors work insane hours, which are hard to even imagine for people who do office jobs. The notion that you can only do 4 hours of productive work a day is frankly a luxury. If you have 10 hours of work to do, all of which

Quality adjusted life years (QALYs) have been used in the UK for a long time, to evaluate whether and when treatments are offered through the NHS. It has its flaws, but its a good start. Generally a therapy needs to cost less than £30k per

Lots of fascinating commentary; But I've not seen mention of these core concepts: Social mobility Equality of opportunity Labour arbitrage I suppose the first two are worth pursuing vigorously. The last is core to capitalism, and some

It's fascinating how on hacker news one typically finds detailed, reasoned and thoughtful comments. However on the topic of crypto and web3 the comments reliably degenerate into partisan tit for tat, consisting mainly of poorly researc

Okay how about a new analogy: Your web app malfunctions, and a diagnostic sweep suggests the code is compromised. It's cloud hosted and open source. You're part of a team and see various recent revisions that could have exposed th

Great Post, thank you for sharing. I do take issue with the commonly parroted claim that depression can be a chemical imbalance. It's a notion arising from pharma marketing psyops, and is largely without utility. It even risks being an

I think they mean: Energy; a shorthand reference to myriad qualities of lived experience including perceptions, ideas and emotions. Deliberately vague to encourage intuitive and personal interpretation. There is a leaning towards embodied s

Agreed. Phrenology was the old hat idea, where names of folk psychology concepts were scrawled across areas of cortex. The brain is specialised and differentiated. However our concepts of what it does are being refined. Instead of hunting f

Hi, I've seen a lot of this and I hope I can help. Some people keep going by trying to make even more money. I wouldn't really recommend this. Some people just continue doing roughly what they did before, but as people here have n

> Now, it might seem rude of me, but I am against killing people that want to live in order to maybe save people that want to die. The point is that most times people who commit suicide don't want to die, they simply feel life is cu

Obviously an emotive topic and I hope to tread lightly. Overwhelmingly people who have bear miss suicide attempts later are glad they did not do it. Suicide is rarely a release from trouble, causing massive problems for those who are left,

While I'm sure you're correct, does that make the comparison any less useful and informative?

Are you saying in the USA your fixed rate lasts for 30 years? Its there a significant premium on the duration? In the UK fixed rates last 2 or 5 years.

Basically I agree: most advice for most people is going to be very similar. However I can see added value in enhancing engagement with that advice by, for example, linking it to that person's specific behaviour. Abstract example: If I

I presume you are in the USA. I watch and marvel at how the USA has such expensive health care and yet apparently has poorer outcomes than other G10 nations, in aggregate. The NHS in my home country is undergoing privatisation of the more l
