These test codes mean X people showed up at the emergency room.
Since medical providers are required by law to treat anyone who shows up (and someone has to pay), the laws are forgiving about the labelling and YOU pay the cost.
This is like a cell phone contract. You are paying for the phone... just in a disguised way. And in this case the people who are milking the system are most likely not the ones contributing to it.
I don't get it... I get to select the cheapest food (which in terms pays certain employees lower than they might expect at another restaurant) when I go out to eat.
Why should the 1% have different rules applied to them. Wasn't that the reason the French Revolution happened? The aristocrats got different rules applied to them?
You lost me there. I don't understand why Billy Gates is the "neo liberal". You come across more critical of the free market, which suggests you are more "neo liberal".
"The function of the leaf is to present surface area to the sun for photosynthesis."
Too monolithic here. If someone thinks the purpose of a leaf is to make salads taste good, or for keys to surface properties of electricity, who is to say he is wrong?
You can't really talk about purpose in any meaningful way without also introducing someone or something that purposes that thing. I can see how people, (and more superficially) animals, even plants aim to accomplish objectives. I don't see how evolution does that.
The arrogant style here is a major problem for me also.
"deficits tend to drop due to the policies of liberals"
Which examples were you referring to?
The deficit has increased massively faster under Obama than W.
Obama has retired some of Bush's tax cuts (effectively raising taxes), but the deficit doesn't go down and the rate of deficit spending doesn't go down.
I concede the character you describe is common and a burden on the audience. Romantic comedies have the same defect (male characters swooning for the female lead).
But this is just a symptom of plot-driven content. Plot-driven content is a symptom of pursuing ratings breadth instead of depth. The main solution is to jettison all this emphasis on vanity and superficiality.
The only concrete evidence is when people confess to misogyny (and even then we could ask if they aren't trying to get attention or some other motive).
As far as metrics go, people apply for developer work at my job with things like, "Hey! I'm 27 years old! So I'm a good programmer!". Metrics are superficial and a way to distract from what is really going on. Example: the trains in the USSR always arrived on time (pay no attention to the 4-6 million people who starved to death in the Ukraine because they didn't have the most "correct" political views).

How is science not just "judging by appearances"?
Don't you feel a little superficial looking at people and experimenting with them that way?
Would you want to be treated like that?
Do you believe love is completely logical or should we toss that one out also?
What tech stack are you in? What part of the country?
By implicating the free markets you are also (implicitly) saying older developers contribute less ... leading to a decrease in demand.
... not a sentiment I see around here much.
I disagree mostly because I hope you are wrong.
Anyway

Vendor lock in: yes.
Windows only: not so much
Not disagreeing with you ... just trying to learn what I can from others.
What IT skills do you have? Are they more like sys admin or development? What stacks? OSS / Microsoft?
If you had it all to do over again how would you have done it?
At what point did it go south? Was it all at once or gradually?

usually "the definition" is 2 or more quarters of negative growth.
on the other hand rigid language definitions can often disguise what is really going on.
technical truth is often a pretext for putting lipstick on a pig.
also likely that people using ad hominems are despairing for a persuasive argument ...
More like a "stunning and unexpected" way to interpret the finding ...
Just when I thought the federal government couldn't spend any more tax dollars, they have found a way to do precisely that!
Then your definition of intent is too broad / bland to mean anything.
It's like saying you inspired someone by not parking in a handicapped spot.,

Interesting. I had no idea.
How are you going to cut off access to something that is legally purchasable domestically?
What's going to stop a customer from just turning around and selling it to Beijing?
Just seems like a lot of tax dollars thrown into the fireplace.
May cause visible signs of cancer in real time ...

Well, if the movie isn't better than this is a waste of my time as a potential viewer and the production budget.
I thought about your comment for a while.

I won't say the case for AGW has nothing going for it other than ad hominem attacks ...
... but its proponents contend for it as if it did.
The style is the message.
My intent is to attack the emphasis on superficiality.
And, yes, I intend to find some pre-mortem satisfaction in that.
Seriously, we should stop caring about the male/female thing and start caring about people being people.
Misogyny lives in the thoughts of people.

Go ahead and misrepresent the world I say.
It doesn't care.
To say life is improved by something related to a quantity of maleness or femaleness is to misrepresent life entirely.
