I hate every part of this. The pain and suffering and the struggle for money that family had to go through because the richest country on Earth can't be bothered to provide for its citizens. Rebecca should not have had to use a damn gofundme to get health care while struggling with cancer. Her family should not have been forced to publicize her care in the desperate hope that strangers might help her live. Utterly inhuman.
It’s a very sad situation, but she had an aggressive cancer that killed her in a matter of weeks. In Germany the healthcare option that would have been offered is hospice care. (Source: family friend runs a hospice facility in Germany and it’s much more common than in the U.S.) I doubt any other socialized healthcare system would have responded differently.
Germany most certainly covers treatment for aggressive adenocarcinoma, and it's covered at 100%. Germany is literally one of the best places in the world for all levels of oncology.
This isn't just with the hope of curing someone, even when you're terminal things like palliative chemotherapy are covered which can drastically ease your suffering.
That only because that spend is misattributed. Much of the money spent on US "healthcare" ends up wasted on admin in billings, collections and haggling with insurance co... Aka, not healthcare. I'd be very interested to see American numbers without the absolutely insane admin overhead...
unfortunately, many of the people who are in favor of providing more financial resources to patients are also in favor of a more extensive regulatory framework, so the two ideas don't get balanced.
"Regulatory framework?" What are you talking about? Centralized information processing is faster and carries much less deadweight loss from duplicated admin and roundtrips. Having a system built around profit maximization isn't one that minimizes cost, as you have shown in your previous post.
The resources spent is more important. Not to prove that you are wrong because I don’t know the answer too, but we should compare actual care per $. Like service and medicine and such, not just the $ amount.
Is this supposed to be a rebuttal? It's inability to provide for its citizens while spending the most is proof that its model for health care is an utter, abject failure. That money is going to incredible private profits, not the citizens.
I don't really believe this to be an issue - Valve directly contracts CodeWeavers, they developed Proton together, and they've been pretty clear from recent hiring bursts that it was specifically to work on Proton. I have to imagine the income from Valve is exponentially higher than the relative niche of CrossOver. They're basically a subdivision of Valve now.
The alternate explanation is that it's rather pointless to integrate it because all new Macs are ARM, and there are basically zero Windows games compiled for ARM.
Not likely considering Valve are working on an ARM version of proton in the open, have published test results for x86-64 windows games playing on proton-arm64ec-4, and there are credible leaks that the Steam Frame uses an ARM cpu.
If anything Valve is moving towards ARM and taking the library along with it.
I think part of this is just laptop vs desktop. Everyone I know has a macbook, not a soul I know has a mac desktop. Everyone has either a console or a separate "gaming" desktop.
You wish this timeline was Idiocracy. In that universe the president realized he didn't know best, freely admitted it, and recruited the smartest man alive. Even gave him credit for the problems they solved.
That would _never_ happen in this timelime. Imagine Trump thinking "Maybe I dont know anything about the weather, maybe I should ask an expert instead of suggesting nuking a hurricane."
Trump brainstorming about getting light or bleach in the body to kill Covid was a shimmer of him actually acting intelligently. He was just way back on the starting line, whereas most people cover that ground when they're children.
By what metric is he an extremely succesful businessman ?
Why would he have to listen to experts to become president ?
I personally think he's an expert salesman... But take away the wealth and time he was born in and he's neither president nor nearly as rich (he'd be comfortably off <> salesman.
The truth is not always, but definitely very often, in the middle. I think most people don't like that answer.
API pricing rates probably. If I take a look at my current usage since it came out, it'd be about $12000 CAD if paid at API rates. Ridiculously easy to rack up absurd bills via the API, and I'm mostly just using it for code review. Someone using it heavily could easily, easily get way over 70k.
Also the statement was "We". It's not a single user's billable usage and we have zero details as to how many people made up "We". So any analysis into the cost or value are meaningless.
He's wildly financially independent. He had early shares from red hat and geeknet, on top of millions from the linux foundation and corporate work. His net worth is in the tens of millions at least.
When Red Hat went public, they gave those who submitted a bug report or fixes a chance to buy pre-IPO shares. I got a chance despite just a minor bug report and bought some shares and despite some poor timing of selling, eventually made enough along with my work related stock to have enough financial cushion to leave my job to get my masters degree and a career change. And it worked out well because not long after the dot com tech bubble burst and many tech stocks plummeted or went out of business while I was focused on my education.
I've reported blatant phishing attacks targeting seniors dozens of times to cloudflare (and so far it's always been cloudflare) and never once have they replied with anything except "we could not determine this was phishi g". They absolutely facilitate phishing through inaction.
Not my experience at all. We've reported hundreds if not thousands of sites and with few exceptions they have taken them down swiftly. Definitely one of the best cloud operators when it comes to this.
As recently as August 8th, I reported a phishing site targeting seniors into installing a pre-configured Atera client (who _also_ failed to respond in a reasonable time) by pretending to be an event invite. It was blatant and obvious phishing. This was the response:
---

This is the typical response for me from Cloudflare - it took 2 more weeks before it was finally taken down. If I had to hazard a guess, your high volume of reports gets you into a very different support bucket than the occasional reporter.
My most recent experience was terrible for two reasons:
1. They didn't take down an obvious banking scam site that was hiding behind their service
2. They forwarded my "report phishing content" submission, including contact information, to the scammer, resulting in a roughly 100x increase in the amount of spam I receive and ensuring that I won't ever use their reporting function again
And on the flip side, the status page literally says:
> Importantly, we never intentionally degrade model quality as a result of demand or other factors, and the issues mentioned above stem from unrelated bugs.
I was trying to say that systemic issues (such as load capacity) seem to degrade the models in US working hours and has been noticed by a non-zero number of users (myself included).
Been awhile since I employed anyone in America (that whole "we're going to annex you" thing) but if I had to hazard a guess, it's the company's portion of their FICA taxes? The company withholds the employee portion to remit to the IRS, then matches it dollar to dollar. If the company is structured so that Andrew is self-employed, it'd be SECA instead and you can count that portion as a business expense.
