Sounds like it's been infected with the MBAs.

I've seen it in many companies. I don't think there's a vaccine yet.

Seems to me you're more interested in finding problems than solutions.

Every other developed country has managed it so why don't you look to see how they achieved it?

Wouldn't you like to never worry about healthcare costs again?

The lie you're believing is that the decision is made by government bureaucrats.

See my other reply in this thread.

It's not how it works in my head: it's the reality of how it works here.

To quote from my other reply:

They don't fund everything. They don't fund anything in particular.

They provide the funding and the medical professionals decide how best to allocate that funding for the best results.

It's a bit different in Canada to my situation in Scotland since there is also the choice of private healthcare here if you want to pay more to skip queues etc.

No, doesn't mean that either.

People would sell piglets and would try to sell "a pig in a poke" (where a poke is a bag).

That's why you don't buy a pig in a poke because you can't see what you're buying.

Letting the cat out of the bag is because you've revealed that it was a cat rather than a piglet. You've revealed the deception.

Yes it's literally what it means. It was worth that to you (even if just to prove a point).

What else does worth mean?

No, you just make it compulsory to accept Medicare.

Actually I thought that was already the case.

> someone has to approve or deny healthcare. Every universal system does it too, but by government policy instead of corporate decision

That's another lie you've been told and believed.

With Universal Healthcare the government just provides the funding. Medical decisions are made by Doctors.

>theres an argument for removing private insurance companies in favor of thr government

I don't see why you'd need to do that. Just expand medicare to everyone and if people want to also buy private insurance they can.

They'd just need to be more competitive and add significant value, which they don't currently do.

So you support single payer where none of that exists?

I didn't make it up, I found it in the articles explaining why the treatment had been suspended in China.

You need to think more.

It would be great if it works out, but I believe this treatment has been suspended in China as there are mixed results (ie people have ended up worse).

Being from Scotland I'd trust an NHS evaluation more than random news reports.

Doesn't the director generally receive more credit than the producer?

How many films do you remember the producer above the director?

It rather obviously is. It can converse on a thousand topics, in 20 different languages, and produce poetry and song off the cuff.

You just think that because it doesn't know about your tiny little niche in as much detail as you, that makes you smarter.

If I gave a general knowledge test to an AI vs you, who would win?

I like to call them TODO, TODOING. and TODONE. Keeps them in alphabetical order and is not in the slightest OCD...

Well not for any reason given in that Wikipedia link because it's about something else entirely.

But humans have driven multiple species to extinction and destroyed pretty much all their natural predators. They didn't do that by being stronger or faster or having bigger teeth and claws. They did it by being smarter than the dumb animals.

So it's clearly and obviously a terrible idea to create something smarter than us, in case we get the same treatment.

It sucked.

Download Edge for Linux and use the PWA. It's still crap but at least it kind of works mostly.

I'd have thought so too, but when I went looking for a copy in Waterstones and failed to find it under popsci section, or in maths, I tried the enquiry desk.

After a few attempts where I eventually tried "goddle s-chair batch" we found it.

It was under Western Philosophy.

Well today I learned. I guess Germany has problems getting away from its police state past. By "many places" did you just mean Germany?

I can post defamation because I live in a better country.

Until we get dry coated sodium ion batteries of course. Not sure it's over.

There is nowhere in Europe that is true. Why exactly are you posting misinformation?

> If nobody can challenge science, then it's not science.

If someone has spent some time actually learning science then of course they can challenge science.

If they are a lazy halfwit parroting crap they listened to on the latest podcast (because reading is hard!)... no. Not so much.

In fact that means the largest factorial that doesn't end in 0 must be 4! because you could always move the ...x2x5 to the end of the series.

The number of permutations is 52! which is 1x2x3...x51x52

So, at some point you're going to be multiplying by 10, 20, 30 etc. Plus you'll have 2x5x.., 4x50x... (if you rearrange the terms). It therefore makes sense that you'll end up with a bunch of zeros on the end.

> by way of example, when every woman I know got pregnant

Impressive work, but surely there were suspicions?

I don't think so. I've seen those complaints for more than a year.

I have an Ops background and I strongly suspect they were given a stupid timeline for the Azure migration.

I've got to believe Microsoft have decent Ops people but the management wanted to move faster than was reasonable and screwed it up. Move one thing at a time and double check it all works and you can do a migration like this.

I wrote my reply before yours appeared but it's basically agreeing. A simple Forgejo hasn't given me any grief. It really seems simpler.

Maybe they're hosting in us-east-1 though :)

I'm starting to really hate analogies. They more often obscure than enlighten.

It's rather amusing to see a PG post flagged on HN.
