LLCs and other corporate structures only (mostly) protect employees and shareholders from civil judgments. CEOs and other executives are also at risk of criminal penalties for Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) violations and similar. Actual criminal p

Younger founders coming out of college are somewhat insulated from health insurance concerns. Many of them can remain as a dependant on a parent's employer sponsored group plan until age 26. Others are eligible for Medicaid due to rela

That seems hard to believe. I've been in many tech company offices around the US and they're usually fine. Where is your office located? What are the national origins of your co-workers?

In a lot of large cities, local governments reacted to the 2020-2023 protests against police brutality by drastically reducing traffic enforcement. Aggressive drivers can get away with a lot more bad behavior now and have little fear of con

People aren't driven to this, they escalate to this when there are no consequences attached to lesser antisocial behavior.

Countries can't push that approach very far before new borrowing doesn't just become more expensive, it becomes effectively impossible.

Austerity is not a "problem", it's simply the only remaining option when you run out of other people's money.

Greece could have fixed their problems by cutting spending and collecting more taxes (not necessarily higher taxes, but actually collecting the taxes that were owed). Currency inflation was never necessary.

Right, it's a zero-sum mentality versus a growth mentality. When people don't believe that growth is possible then they focus on guarding what they have.

The next generation of bike computers will probably have links to an LLM cloud subscription service for real-time coaching and route planning.

That's funny considering that all other economic systems that have been tried were never in touch with reality in the first place.

There are already a lot of people doing manual review and editing of medical transcription speech recognition output. That has been the status quo for decades. A lot of those workers are offshore in India and Philippines. Overall transcript

Medical transcription isn't the same thing as medical scribing. Transcription has been done primarily by speech recognition software with human review for decades. The output is just a text chart note, which isn't particularly use

EHRs and other electronic prescription applications pretty much all have automated alerts for inappropriate dosages (like mg versus mcg) as well as allergies and harmful drug-drug interactions. The prescribing clinician likely had to dismis

Yes, some sort of technical default is likely in a few decades. I expect that when debt payments become unsustainable the government will force bondholders to exchange their holdings with new bonds that have the same nominal face value but

No, you just don't understand the basics of how the US legal system works. It's always disappointing to see that level of aggressive ignorance on HN.

That's a silly comment. There's a huge difference between establishing civil liability versus a criminal conviction, and rightly so. The quacks aren't going to be incarcerated.

That's a non answer. The medical profession is already embracing evidence-based medicine as well as specific tools such as checklists and EHRs to reduce preventable errors. But there will always be some providers who are simply sloppy

5 hours per week is very little training. How much time do most people spend scrolling social media or watching TV? There's your 5 hours. It doesn't have to detract from any other life activities.

Perhaps, but given the current shortage of healthcare providers we would probably see many doctors drop out of the public healthcare system and only accept private insurance or cash payments.

You can afford to go to law school if you're willing to prioritize it and make some sacrifices. There are plenty of law schools that have part time night or online options. Take one class at a time and you'll eventually get throug

In a wealthy and civilized society we have a moral obligation to care for all of our citizens. Some of them have pre-existing conditions and can't afford to pay market rates, so the middle class is going to have to subsidize them one w

From a political philosophy standpoint, this is exactly why many people oppose a single-payer healthcare system. When the government is paying for everything it creates a financial incentive for an intrusive nanny state. We can argue about

Nope. More and more providers are dropping out of Medicare, or imposing limits on the number of Medicare patients that they're willing to see. It's tough to sustain a financially viable medical practice on Medicare rates, especial

So what's the solution? Some states have already limited malpractice liability but that hasn't done much to hold down costs. When patients are harmed by preventable medical errors they should be compensated.

It often happens with insured people showing up at the ER as well. Many patients don't pay their bills, either because they can't afford it or are just deadbeats. As overall healthcare costs have increased, insurers and employer
