No subsidy, these are for private ambulances and a result of real competition. Using an average wage in the US to be double of Europe I'd say $200 for an ambulance ride in the US is a reasonable price. Also an ambulance ride is like

I didn't claim emergency flight though, I said you can fly to Europe for less than $1800. Also no wonder healthcare is so expensive in the US - you're actually arguing for it...

That requires ethical people to run and heavy enforcement otherwise it turns in to a corruption fest where doctors run their own private practices in addition to state funded and waiting lists run rampant forcing you to go private. What is

A 6 hour stay plus a few bios for $1000 is not reasonable. For that money you can get a week's care at a premium private hospital in Europe. An emergency ambulance costs 100 euro. I think America has been with an extortionate health ca

This is honestly ridiculous and typical sales tactics. In the end you're happy to pay $1000 for a 6 hour stay... Anywhere else in the world if they tried asking $1000 for that they'd get laughed out of the room, $11,800? Heads w

Circle of life. Stack Overflow came about as a direct solution to Experts Exchange that was doing exactly the same thing. So now it's up to someone to build a new solution which will last for another 10 years until they too decide to c

Optimum for me would be links along with client integration to open said links inline. Links for example in a plaintext email are clickable - not because of HTML, but client integration. The same can be done on image links. That way the big

Go and visit a forum where embedded images are allowed and tell me that there is any sort of "optimum" discussion over there. In the end what happens is people use text overlays in the IMAGES in order to reply to each other. Since

Right, rewrites are basically invest now vs spend exponentially later. They make little sense as soon as a project is completed, even if you rewrite, the software hasn't had time to point you in a direction, a 'nice' rewrite

An engineer with a degree and a contractor can both build you a bridge. The difference is one will remain standing after an earthquake.

Jesus NO at no.2 Rewrites are ALL about the schema. Look, over time, your initial requirements will change. The initial schema will 100% not be what is ideal. On a long enough time scale EVERYTHING becomes many to many. I've found any

This is my story in a nutshell too. After the 2018 MacBook Pro keyboard started breaking down (after 1 year of use, once replaced already) I gave up on Apple and bought a 3 pound LG Gram 17 inch laptop. Using Windows for the first time in 1

Sensible adults don't give opinions because they are wary of politics. It's fine to be opinionated if your opinion is backed up with experience. Young people by definition lack that experience. It's not fine to be opinionated

That makes no sense. It's all about the training. A human can tell ML that the balls in the example are either perceived red (illusion) or reality (brown). The computer will use that training model for future decisions.

It's not about aesthetics it's about identification of problems in O(log n) instead of O(n) time. Scrolling through 100 graphs is slower than scanning 10 main graphs and 10 subgraphs per.

It's hardly a good idea if you have a database that allows invalid state. Otherwise it's a fantastic idea.

Imho that's the only way. Anything else can end up in invalid state.

Redirecting doesn't work - your customer has an application expecting v1 format - and he gets a redirect to v2 which breaks his application. I've found more success in supporting two formats using the v2 api to serve the v1 one.
