My claims were entirely substantiated. Original claim: doctor salaries are part of the problem. Substantiation: Doctors in the U.S. earn way more than doctors elsewhere. It logically follows that higher salaries lead to higher healthcare co

Or you should provide some evidence? What’s your source, “trust me bro?” It’s already a well established fact that the AMA lobbied congress to impose residency quotas, a position they continue to support. Therefore, the only logical conclus

Hmm I guess when I see a single, unified viewpoint codified into law by the singular professional association representing the entirety of doctors in America, I don’t really think “hmm l, those doctors really have varying viewpoints on this

It sounds like they want to increase the cap, not remove it entirely. This is, again, likely self serving. If there aren’t enough anesthesiologist, for instance, surgeons can’t perform surgery. But, honestly, good for them. I wish other whi

Except in this case, the main group of doctors (the AMA) convinced congress to cap the number of residencies available to med school graduates explicitly to prevent the “over supply of physicians”.

No, the issues is that the AMA convinced congress to limit the number of residencies available, which acts as a hard cap on the supply of doctors.

It is a supply issue. And supply is artificially limited by the AMA by limiting the number of residencies available.

I always find it funny that doctors never think their huge salaries are part of the problem. Doctors in other countries earn way less than doctors here. That helps keep costs lower.

It’s not helpful to think of most pain clinics as fundamentally interested in treating chronic pain. Rather, these pain clinics were an experiment with de-facto legalization of opioids for recreational use. Just like you used to be able to

I don't understand the focus on Intel's board. Intel released a new processor back in October (Arrow Lake) and it was a total flop. That is why Pat Gelsinger was fired.

One thing you could try is to get into a field that skews older. Most people don’t enter the trades until they’re in their 30s, so a 36 year old apprentice wouldn’t be out of the ordinary. From your post, it doesn’t seem like you’ll ever be

Violence certainly can be effective, but also not. Everything is situational. See the Black Panthers vs. peaceful protesting during the civil rights movement. See also the American Revolution. Whether or not violence makes sense likely depe

That how we define "all" logically but not linguistically. For instance, linguistically we would consider this inconsistent: "all 10-foot men have black hair AND all 10-foot men have blonde hair" yet it is true, logicall

I think Gelsinger was fired because Arrow Lake was a total flop.

Bioengineering will obviously be a large technological force moving forward. Quick vaccine development and targeting cancer seems like the tip of the iceberg. Technological advancement in semi-conductors has enabled human-like AI models.

The article doesn’t actually explain how they work… How does the indirect pointer get set to nil? Does it use runtime.SetFinalizer?

These are all very interesting points. I’d like to add the total flop of Arrow Lake. That’s the type of thing the board likely cares about.

50M in salary is actually quite high. The S&P 500 average is less than 20M. I’ve seen companies half the size of Intel pay their CEOs ~11M.

The article focuses on the boards alleged ineptitude, not about Gelsinger directly, but the article directly states that Gelsinger was the best possible candidate: > But the reality is he’s the single best candidate for the company. Howe

There’s an implicit assumption in the article that, because Gelsinger was technically competent, he was going to be a great CEO of given enough time. Personally, I’ve heard nothing but bad things from Intel during Gelsinger’s tenure. He had

Rumors are that Gitlab is for sale, so the move might make sense in that regard.

I once had a dream to be a writer. I made a tool that was going to help me write every day. The most insightful feedback I got was: "Wow, aspiring writers will do anything to avoid writing!" I think something similar applies here:

That’s pretty cool! But v8 alone kind of sucks unless you specifically want isolation. Sometimes you just want to make a network request, you know?

I think the point is that X had this feature when Wayland was launched 16 years ago. That’s not exactly an inspiring pace of development.

My daughter sits in a W pose and has since she could sit independently. She never uses an iPad or other device. The doctor said it’s due to having flexible hips. Just an anecdote.

This argument assumes that code is an ends not a mean, which is false. The value you deliver is not your code, it’s the enablement of business functions. Let’s say you launch a new product that gains traction. Sure, in 5 years your code may

Up until earlier this year, many "grease proof" papers (e.g. butter wrappers) were PFAS.
