Some practices are self-insured. Some practices have to pay the first million, up to five million, out of pocket.

Every prospectus I've ever read, "Past performance is no guarantee of future results."

Let's say every now and then, you need to do X. That means you need to be prepared to do X. And what if some of the components of X expire? That means you have to pay to keep them on hand. And the distribution of how often you do X is

My insurance premiums go up on their own. They go up more when I file claims. I'm betting the same is true of hospitals.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply you didn't know. I meant, "Yes, you're so damned right! It's even in the dictionary! I wish people would educate themselves and not believe lies!"

Merriam-Webster: "The meaning of TARIFF is a schedule of duties imposed by a government on imported or in some countries exported goods." Apparently the dictionary is "woke." Wikipedia: "A tariff, or import tax, is

Yeah, I think you've got it. Agreeing with you and continuing my thought: If I had to guess at the comic author's intention... It's commentary that the logic is flawed. If this is why you're doing tariffs, you're

How many 100% tariffs do you have on every good from an entire country? A scalpel is one thing. Dynamite is something else.

by MattCruikshank 20d ago
It would certainly help if people wouldn't believe flat-out lies. Like, "other countries pay the tariffs." No. They don't. How can we have nuanced conversation about the trade-offs, if the leader of one political party

...this is a github repo. Pointing to an open source project. That is not forced to use any vendor-specific systems to function.

I upvoted, I favorited, I starred the repo, and I even used a smiley. What has OP done for me lately? :)

Great! I'm really excited. So, I want to make an RSS feed Gadget. And you will run an RSS Aggregator Gadget, and then some Presentation Gadget. Do I have that roughly right? How does my Gadget talk to yours? Cloudflare Tunnels for

There are actually championships. People do refer to different bots at being at the Master level, Grandmaster level, etc. In Chess, in Go, etc. They might not be officials, they not might represent the official organizations, but those th

We know which bots are the best at Chess. You'd care which AI is the most accurate at diagnosing your medical condition. It's not a bad thing to keep track of which automated systems are the best at certain tasks.

Sure, but keep in mind that technically New Jersey is "habitable," so don't get too excited.

I feel like there should be an online museum dedicated to reproducing the graphics in movies, as faithfully as possible. Especially awesome if film-makers started DONATING their video assets to the museum.

It doesn't seem like it's popular to put old game ROMs on IPFS...? And that surprises me...

Wouldn't it be better to just have an open source project, where everyone picks some tasks for their "spare" tokens to implement?

Sure, you could think in terms of 1m^3. Yes, you're right that composing the best picture for an eye point could (and does) use splats from all over the scene. But I think if you limit to splats that are (entirely, mostly, partially?)

My dumb idea... do outdoor scans, and then convert the contents into 1m^2 blocks... And then, just dumbly stitch them together. Kind of like Minecraft... but with user-generated gaussian-splat blocks.

I was daydreaming about, picture if a corporation buys an entire state. Say, Wyoming or West Virginia. Gemini guesses $180 billion to $250 billion. With that investment, they'd get to control who lives in the state. So, then the corpo

I blame the intentionally cheap receiving optics. Researchers have reconstructed a TV signal from a hotel room with closed blinds, by very accurately measuring the ambient light intensity of the room (as shown on the blinds.) Knowing that,

I specifically want this device to have no input or output hardware that could be used without my knowledge. IrDA could absolutely be used without my knowledge.
