Pharmacy benefit managers are middlemen who often dictate which drugs are available to a plan, and have been implicated in pushing more expensive alternative drugs in collusion with manufacturers desires to push certain lines for profit. Th

If the other players in the pharmaceutical supply weren't pushing regulatory capture, blind deals, collusion, and every other trick to keep ricing under their own control instead of by actual market forces, maybe this would work.

I remember (very vaguely) reading into the debates around domain name sequence and being irritated that natural readability won out over scope order. Codified so deeply for so long that there''s no hope of ever changing it except

Used a Logitech Wingman 3D... Win10 doesn't even recognize it as a device. Low priority to find a current flight stick.

I can say I've done a few 72 - 96 hour stretches of near total wakefulness (power naps of 20-40 minutes as possible, food and caffeine available nearly any time) but there's definitely a feeling of disconnect, being separate from

Perhaps compare this to snail mail: if you recognize the piece of mail as coming from a known source of offensive material, you can choose to open it, discard it, or respond, as you see fit. This sort of filter just puts an envelope on mat

Having seen at least three or four multinational-level SharePoint environments, I would strip them all back down to raw HTML with an ACL enforced editorial process. Then try again from scratch. I shudder to think of ever being a SharePoin

A notification sounds like less interruption than a full screen modal "Click here!" that will fire the feature to demonstrate it. Absolutely hate those dialogs.

Wow, that's seriously dysfunctional. I get that Apple doesn't do UX testing but maybe they could do some UX testing? Getting at least one user's opinion about a redesign might have nipped some of this in the bud

That 4d structure sounds like a very steep jump in complexity. I love it, and I imagine I might never finish one.

Term limits. Or vote them out next time. Part of the reason the Constitution writers made 2 and 6 year terms, to try to force the House to be responsive to public opinion and the Senate resistant to GIGO cycling of proposed bills. Of course

True, but that gives a bottoms up workflow, and if you clear a page, it goes back to the top and you have to navigate down again... at least it used to. Annoyed me enough to go find a different client. Being able to sort oldest first means

One big thing I see with feelin g like email is a stack is GMail's insistence on newest first and no sort option. I have Thunderbird set up with IMAP'ed GMail accounts and it does allow oldest first, turning the process back into

Thank you for reminding me I can do that... going to give it a try and see what I'm missing/forgotten, and what features I might miss. Wish there was a VCS-ish way to get an intermediate version.

Hope you don't mind if this part-Scot American envies you that just a little.

I think you'll find that your opinion is rather hard line on this... compared to the vast majority of actual racist type behavior, and actual putdowns based on <ethnicity>, this is mildly amusing and speaks to a general behavior.

We've had more than one cat that absolutely loved playing fetch. When my wife figured out how to toss a bouncy toy from the bedroom and two rebounds to get it down the stairs to the first floor landing, it was game on for Gabriel... A

But that's ambush style... cover, creep, approach, then burst, startle, takedown. Or go hungry.

It's the fact that the affected staff deliberately didn't follow policy, and chose the inflated bids regardless of any others, that drives this. There's no reason at all why BCG can't submit better rates. But that ensur
