Why wouldn't you wait for one your insurance would approve? You're probably paying them thousands every month.

"And don't you dare ask for a second opinion, you'll get the doctor that has been assigned to you and accept whatever they tell you."

This happened to us with private healthcare. There is basically one specialty group for the procedure my family member needed so any 2nd opinion request just got routed back to the same doctor, "Oh, your Dr X's patient". Also, we could barely afford the procedure so we missed out on some follow up testing that would have verified things worked properly and basically got blacklisted from that practice so hopefully it's resolved...

I use a daily log system. I just run this bash script to open my log for the day. This opens the same file all day, so I can add stuff, and I know how to find old stuff, it's easy to grep, etc..

    ## create new log file for personal logging

    vi ~/daily_logs/personal_logfile_$(date +%j_%m%d%y)

Yeah, I'm not a frat guy, but don't groups like Fraternities build "Study Guides" that are often just brain dumps of tests with correct answers?

Sure, you can work around it; but it blows up the savings alot of people expect when they don't include this in their math.

Also, SAN is often faster then local disk if you have a local SAN.

This looks pretty informative. The terminology can be hard to follow. https://medium.com/@bounouh.fedi/understanding-iops-in-aws-w...

I/O is hard to benchmark so it's often ignored since you can just scale up your disks. It's a common gotcha in the cloud. It's not a show stopper, but it blows up the savings you might be expecting.

The most consistent misunderstanding I see about the cloud, is disk I/O. Nobody understands how slow your standard cloud disk is under load. They see good performance and assume that will always be the case. They don't realize that most cloud disks use a form of token tracking where they build up I/O over time and if you have bursts or sustained high I/O load you will very quickly notice that your disk speeds are garbage.

For some reason people more easily understand the limits of CPU and memory, but overlook disk constantly.

half the time, no sugar means sugar substitute. It is definitely confusing.

Glad you're hear to tell people they are dumb and they should work around systemic problems instead of trying to fix the system.

"At some point OpenAI's investors are going to want their money back."

They do now, that's why they are using a shell game to pump up the stock value.

The one thing Democrats and Republicans always agree on is "No Progressive's allowed".

Yup, these guys aren't the customers anyway. The investors are the only ones they care about because the customers don't come close to paying the actual costs.

I distinctly remember a kid dying by falling off her bike in the late 80's. She was in the class w/ my younger brother but we didn't really know her. It was obviously a big deal at the school.

<to the tune of "all you need is love">

You mean w/ DNS? or an app?

You're talking about conservatism. He's talking about American Conservatism. It's just a name, like "Pro-Life" or "Death Tax". It has no bearing in reality. Similar to how the National Socialist Party was not Socialist and most of the world's Communist parties ceased to be Communist long before the stopped calling themselves communist.

Who said exclusively?

Exactly my point, this has been going on in America for a long time.

wow: "Why would a clan that guarantees its own justice ever yield to a system that promises justice to its enemies? To do so is to voluntarily surrender its greatest strengths: the power to protect its own, punish its rivals, and maintain its position in the world. It is not merely a loss of advantage; it is the dismantling of the clan’s very foundation."

White nationalism and conservatism in a nutshell...

The quality of any individual part of the code might be better, but the architecture is way worse and unsustainable long term.

But it is. This the the same argument against minimum wage. It's just wrong. The government should absolutely set a floor on wages and discrimination. There must be a standard to minimize friction. It's just not something that anyone can do by themselves.

The classic, I'm not a "whatever terrible thing", but those terrible people are ok and it's fine for them to be terrible.

Guess what that makes you?

The arguments are so facetious and facile. India has more corruption then the US and they can handle a free lunch program for all kids. Why can't America?

This is why the wealthy should be required to use public schools.

Why does less then replacement rate equal extinction? It just requires a reimagination of the economy it's not an extinction level threat. That's just scare mongering.

Taxing the rich will have all sorts of positive knock-on effects that will also go a long way towards fixing these issues.

I don't see anyone else saying this, but I don't like audiobooks because of the voices and over production. If I want to listen to a book, I use TTS, it's gotten very good. I can pick the voice and I just hear the story. I can also switch back to reading without trying to figure out where I am since the Text to speech is using the same epub I'm reading.

Probably more then one.

This checks out because all those DOGE hires appear to be hackers, and they are now state sponsored. Most of them could never pass a basic background check, much less a TS or even public trust from one of the more invasive Federal agencies.
