They may not have a bottom line, but they certainly put up barriers to accessing specialty care that I never experienced when using the Sutter/Blue Shield combo. Also this wasn't a North Kaiser vs South Kaiser thing. More like Sol

I wish I had your experience with Kaiser. I've hit that conflict of interest multiple times. Most recently, after going through triage and waiting six weeks for an appointment, and after half way through it with [specialist], I learn t

Yep, my XPS does too. I believe it's called "coil whine" and is caused by surface-mount inductors whose windings aren't fully encased in resin or whatever material they use.

Who is we? YMMV, but any sort of emphasis on critical thinking wasn't my experience in an Arizona school district in the late eighties/early nineties. If such curriculum was available, the kids who took it were likely outliers in

Contracts or momentum? Haven't looked at actual dates, but my guess is that this project was established long before SpaceX was a viable option.

Where I live, we used to have tons of frogs. The city actually built a freeway bypass to prevent too many flat frogs. Didn't work. Anyway, the frogs quickly vanished around the same time we started spraying to reduce the spread of West

Does anyone remember Win4Lin? It would run Windows 98 as a process and translate system calls to their Linux equivalent. It was very convient for testing my websites in IE. And I swear it was faster and more stable than running Windows on b

I believe the problem in any society is that the older generation relies on the younger to care and/or subsidize costs of said care for the older as their health declines. That breaks down when population starts declining.

A little late to this conversation, but I want to point out that it appears dopamine does have functions other than neurological.[1] Of course one might take the view that immune function is regulated by the nervous system and thus it may n

Sorry for the late reply. For me it was Fructose and Sulfites. See my above comment for more details.

Sorry for such a late reply. For me the two biggest culprits are sulfites (increased sleep disturbances) and fructose (reduced deep sleep and more chaotic cycles). What's weird about the fructose is I don't have the symptoms assoc

Right. Now that I think about it, I've seen some crates that perform interesting codegen tasks at compile time; things like ffi bindings that automatically stay up-to-date. The only part I found difficult about working with generated c

I agree, but I'm wondering if there is anything inherent in its design that facilitates this. Or is it mostly attributable to the fact that it makes use of LLVM?

I dropped one on automata after an exercise in the first exam required making use of an undisclosed algorithm that wasn't central to the topic and not covered in any of the required reading. When asking the lecturer about it, he direct

Kaiser is great for critical care and general practitioner stuff. But they do most of their cost-cutting in specialty care; the stuff that is rare or tends to not be easily diagnosed while having a major impact on patients' quality of
