I think for the math to work you have to consider the bigger bulk of work that could be eliminated by universal healthcare: the payer industry. Insurers, PBMs, and all the smaller sectors that support them. The utility provided to society i

Right but the “certain regions” were affluent metro areas, the control group was rural counties, and the timeframe was the Great Recession. Even the study authors acknowledge the severe risk of the huge confounding variable.

Thanks. Is it not annoying to play Civ with a touchpad vs a mouse? Or is this just a convenience for situations where you can’t use a mouse?

Can anyone share their experience enjoying the two pads they put on their controllers? I have a Steam Deck and love it, but the only experience I have with those pads is “dammit I accidentally touched the pad again.” If I want a mouse, I ju

The player-coach analogy is very common in role definitions, and it is real concept in sports: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Player-coach

It can both be true that (1) most of the revenue and operations focus is on the core airline and (2) most of the profit and valuation is driven by the loyalty program. This is true for American Airlines: https://viewfromthewing.c

The other answer (staff who use Westlaw) is right, but critically this is the point of adversarial litigation. The justice system doesn't hang on that judge finding the precedent; it assumes that the highly motivated lawyers on either

That is common law, but many jurisdictions have specific regulations related to this. E.g.: https://www.nist.gov/system/files/documents/2017/04/28/US-Pr... I don't know whether "usual

I have never played it, but I could imagine a scoring mechanism that would make it interesting, and perhaps is implied by the rules: The score value starts at 1. Every additional "check" multiplies the score value by 2 (so 2, 4, 8

Perhaps also worth noting that you generally shake the die before releasing it. Thus even if you drop it straight down through a vacuum, you would have done the center-of-mass-impacted-tumbling in your hands first.

...is that really the story? It feels like these are two related, but different things.

Yes but then I think they should leave the header at the top of the page. If I need it I'll scroll all the way back up! Don't make it randomly re-appear and cover the text I wanted to see because I decided to re-read that last p

Seems like a lot of people are dunking on this comment with anecdata. Thankfully there is real data if we want to know how microwaves are used. Survey below says they are used a bit more than ovens, but half as much as cooktops/stoves.

I disagree. If you focus on holding the software creators to account in lieu of the humans in the loop, the we only reinforce the behavior of offloading thinking to the system. If I am a cop in another jurisdiction and I see that in this c

There are tons of examples of this. Heck, even Tetris has procedural generation. I think this argument was a mistake.

The “gambled his life savings” framing in the article is very hyperbolic. He gambled $300K from his extra savings outside his retirement accounts, and he hedged significantly to reduce downside risk.

It seems like the model became paranoid. For the past few hours, it has been classifying almost all inbound mail as "hackmyclaw attack."[0] Messages that earlier in the process would likely have been classified as "friendly
