The person using my software is not my customer. My customer is the patient and the FDA. If making it easier for the nurse compromises the safety of the patient, its BAD software.
Medical software is a medical device and subject to regulation as such. I am in the business of writing that software, and while I as a developer can and would be happy to make things easy and awesome, risk management often determines that "easy" can also be "dangerous". Make the default route too easy and you risk a user accidentally skipping the correct route.
Not really. if current measures are accurate, and there is a 99.9999 chance of a miss, more measures are 99.9999% likely to support that miss and only 0.0001% likely to contradict it.
Its not quite as simple as that, but its not anywhere near 50/50 like you suggest.
Free market health care is NOT the most economically efficient.
A free market only functions when both parties have approximately equal negotiating power, are fully informed and not under threat.
By its nature, healthcare decisions are almost always made under threat of a cost to ones health or life, and since the alternative is to die, the victim...patient has no negotiating power.
The patches for these issues are intentionally withheld from their products until you encounter them, many of them have existed and have patches for them for several years. Its intentionally crippled code.
As opposed to Oracle error codes that are documented as "Please contact Oracle support", for shit they know about and have a patch ready for but they have you over the coals and want to extort a couple hundred grand from you.
I've literally driven a buggy of goods up to the CSM monitoring the self checkout and told him that he lost a sale today because they were unable to provide a checkout clerk.
And self checkout does not save time. Each item scans slower, bagging is problematic, and it randomly halts requiring assistance.
I've bagged groceries before. I could do it 10 or 20 times faster than the maximum allowed by the self scan station.

But... that would be "raising taxes"! And that is a sin against the lord our god, Grover Norquist.
The ACA is not the crown jewel of the left. it is a right leaning overly compromized piece of shit.
A single payer healthcare system would have been the solution of the left.
Wrong. People didn't generally have the opportunity to move about and seek a place where they can fit in.
Serfs were tied to the land of their lord. The were not allowed to simply free themselves of those obligations.
get with the pogrom.
And it is. Every aspect of medical software is scrutinized by risk management, including medical professionals.

actually earth had the "sharks" with birdlike beaks. Earth had a crap-load of weird-ass creatures in the long long ago.
So? Nearly impossible things happen all the time given a sufficiently large sample.

over 5 orders of magnitude is as close to "almost certain" as science gets.
Hence this post.
Pretty sure you replied to the wrong post.
I'm not sure the math on that will work out.
From the perspective of personal income, we need an average taxation rate of around 27% to balance the federal budget.
And what happens when you transfer money from one account to another? You "receive" the money, so does that mean you get taxed?
Social services are not a zero sum game.

It is if you park near the focus point of one of the parabolic death ray buildings.

What the fuck are you talking about?
Not entirely true these days.
decompiling any code will not inspire confidence. Decompilation doesn't necessarily reproduce the original code.

Or maybe Sandra Bullock used way to much hair gel and it was too rigid to float around.
I feel the same way about self checkout lines.
