This may be true, but doesn't mean that all other options are better in the view of the community. They may prefer to roll the whole thing up compared to some models.

Well I did say the actual calculations would be (and are) more complicated. And as I said, short of availability constraints, the MRI itself isn't an issue, it's the follow up. Ignoring the fact that in the real world due to cons

In the abstract more information is always better. In practical healthcare with real constraints, sometimes it makes things worse globally for reason above. Think about say a diagnostic blood test with a poor sensitivity (but better than c

Or it's because the problem is genuinely hard. See above ('imperfect sensitivity')... the same problem exists in e.g. blood tests. I'm no radiologist but I've seen enough of this done that I'd lean that way.

Nothing in the article suggests the $2T moves. At most it suggests at least some of the jobs managing it will, but that's not the same thing.

Most people would, I'm sure. On the other hand, those aren't the only two choices, by a long shot.

History tells us that both the doomers and naysayers are probably wrong. It seems to be pretty solidly demonstrated now to have some limited efficacy across a broad range of areas today, and is very effective in some niches (like the articl

If I recall correctly, the MSG content in both is not inconsiderable, so this isn't really a counterpoint.

That doesn't sound quite right to me. There is a lack of physicians, especially family/general, which makes everything harder. But that doesn't nearly account for everything. It is also true that the system is set up very

Not really relevant to the topic. Replace "hit by a car" with any other unexpected and life-changing illness or accident, and the point remains.

Depends on the area, but qualified yes - many local cab companies now have apps (in response to uber) and some of those will give decently accurate quotes. In some places e.g. airport fares are fixed rate anyway, so you can just check.

Hm, that’s a fair point, it’s only some of the same overhead because it’s not per operation.

It's true that MSG content in e.g. aged parmesan is high... but it's not so low in e.g. cheddar and people tend to use a lot more of that. Also mushrooms, tomatoes, etc. especially dried. Mainly staying away from too much process

Effectively the GIL is incurring that overhead on every data structure whether you need it or not. But with it removed, you'll have to think about it in your designs more than currently. History shows us this is not easy.

It certainly seemed that way at first, now I'm not convinced. They seem to be recapitulating most or all of the bad behaviors. And more expensive often enough I have to check, used to just assume it would be comparable or better unles

The lack of builds is the primary cause, sure. But parent is not wrong that in a lot of places airbnb is clearly making the rental market worse.

A baseline typical scenario when you have high compliance requirements etc. is a very strict separate of "personal devices" and "work devices", so these things don't really come up in the way described.

This is only sort of true. There are lots of population dense areas of North America that wouldn't look that different than much of Europe. E.g. NYC to Boston is shorter than Paris to Frankfurt. The main problem is that the train inf
