News in it's current state is not getting my money.
There's very few that aren't just all click bait and stories about celebrities, and even the NYT has decided that luring climate denialists is a positive business decision.
They'd get/some/ money if there was something like Newsflix, that cost 10 bucks a month to subscribe to everything, but I'm not paying 10-20 of them that each because I might be directed to them once a month from a search.
This is Jobs reality distortion field at work. It was never more obvious how to do everything on a Mac or iOS than competitor products, it was maybe a little easier to do the stupid user stuff after a "genius" had configured it for you, but it was f**king awful to be the local "IT Guru" that had to fix everyone's Apple shit.
Most people do what, make calls, texts, use the app store, and browse the web? Yeah, everything "just works" for that.
Do Americans give out tickets for double parking? Last time I was there the right hand lane was effectively useless because you couldn't go a block without hitting a double parked car. Most of them with no driver, not an Uber (and I'm no fan of PonziTaxi).
That's about the most I've seen a rental for in the RedBox equivalent here (Australia) unless you want to rent a movie from Google or Apple ($5.99 SD, $6.99 HD), but that's just lazy tax...
I'm OK with that 6 months later at DVD rental prices ($4), but there's not a comedy been made that would get me to shell out $40 to watch with the wife.
It's always fun trying to sell a DR failover test to a 24/7 company.
- So what's this for? - To make sure you can recover quickly in the event of a disaster. - What if that fails, worst case? - Well, your warm site fails to take over, so you have a planned outage now instead of an unplanned outage later. - How long an outage? - Well, if we fail to bring up the warm site, and fail to fall back to the current production site, there may be some lost transactions and we'd need to shut down long enough to make sure the databases are correct. Say, a day? - You want to shut down for a day? How likely is this disaster we're talking about? - Well, you have RAID, clustering, UPS, generator backup, probably a 1 in 10 year event? - Ok, then no. We'll take the day outage in 10 years. - Wait.. I said... - Thanks, goodbye.
Also, an ethical hacker will not start with insider information. I suspect a proportion of these are workers at outsourcing companies who are frustrated at the quality of code their organizations are shipping.
That's not necessarily the case at all; white box hacking starts with/all/ information available.
I wouldn't even contemplate dumping real contractors in with "gig workers". That's like confusing Hobby Lobby with an aspiring author that sells bangles on Etsy for pin money.
Well, call me an optimist, but I'd have thought it would be a pool the workers would have to pay into themselves.
It's not like "benefits included" jobs don't take the cost of those benefits into account when creating a salary package, it just seeks to make that same arrangement more portable.
The flaw, of course, is that "gig workers" are paid shit. It looks OK on the surface because they're comparing their income to one that has already had a good portion removed before they see it to pay for benefits, but it's shit.
Really? Because it's presented as an estimate in the paper.
It's probably about right in the US, and would explain a lot of the unusually adverse outcomes if you're unlucky enough to be admitted into a hospital there, but it's still not a statistic.
Yeah, I agree, except that the life expectancy for people over 65 going to the doctor is probably more consistent.
Plus, it's about the weight of numbers; if the mortality rate for all patients that attend hospital A was 10% and hospital B was 15%, does it matter how old you are when you're picking between those two hospitals? Assuming the same catchment area, hence the choice.
Attending hospital tends to already select for people with a higher than average mortality rate.
Besides, the authors understand there's not enough information to act on, but it's enough to suggest that the area be studied at greater depth to see if there's a case for adjusting how continuing education is managed.
Summary says they were all "elderly patients", so the factor changing is the age of the doctor.
I think the busy doctor == good doctor correlation holds true as well, was certainly the case for mine. Might be that the good ones are kept busy, but I suspect as much that the work keeps their minds sharp.

Surely you don't mean Bret Stephens? Who's about as liberal as Dick Cheney? Just because he's anti-Trump doesn't make him liberal, you asshat.
Oh, and half these asshats allow taboolah and other malware to advertise on their paid sites. Ha, no.

Yeah, cable companies competed up the price of television, particularly sport.
NFL players would play for less than $155 million per team, and they will in the future...

Yes, if by "read a paper" you mean "watched MythBusters". https://mythresults.com/airpla...

Last note... Our health insurance was $12K pre-AHCA. I'm literally paying for two other families health care now.
The $12K is too much, I'm paying ~$6K in Australia (private + the earmarked Medicare levy) and have left hospital after orthopedic surgery owing $0.
The US medical system is the problem, and the invisible hand is never going to fix that, it's not broken according to those profiting from it.
Cost is a metric.

You effectively don't have to worry about that now, or terrorism in general.
Most people die at home and the most dangerous thing you can do is leave the house.

But, robots make money laundering so much faster.
It's like you're replying to someone else, but partially quoting me, and I certainly wasn't trying to convince the faithful.

I'm more interested in knowing who gets sued if the AI is hacked to deliberately misdiagnose...
Yeah, at least O'Reilly wasn't an empty shirt with a bow-tie or a (publically) raving lunatic like Hannity.
Just a shame he couldn't keep it in his pants.
Yes. It was a homophobic 'joke' according to SJW's.
Bullshit. It was a homophobic joke according to Fox commentards.
Someone gave Fox'n'Friends a copy of Saul Alinsky's book and it's been nothing but ever since.

Numbers are probably too big for this theory; 700,000 cases.
