What’s the slash dot of the current era or blogging?

I’m skeptical that it’s out there and robust because I think hn would be the obvious answer and yet it’s not as if small bloggers are dominating the charts here.

I am skeptical that there is any single author where I would be interested in the majority of their output. Perhaps I’m the outlier and other people find authors where they want to consume ~all.

Regardless it seems to me that all of these sole proprietor subscription models are contingent on being generally interested in that person‘s average output whereas the past was faceted meta-aggregation over all producers which I think made it work.

> 150 of world’s most expensive modern hospitals

https://sfyimby.com/2024/06/construction-underway-for-4-3-bi...

Probably not the most expensive , just first I thought of … so maybe it’s more like 10-15 typical urban hospitals.

This is a more comprehensive survey that’s light on methods but from a respected industry watcher with similar conclusions:

Record retention is covered by a complex set of overlapping regulations and contracts. They are dependent on much more than date of service. M&A activity, interstate operations, subsequent changes in patient mental status, etc can all cause the horizon to change well after the last encounter.

As all the comments in this thread suggest the cost of having an extra record , even an extra breached record is low. The cost of failing to produce a required medical record is high.

Put this together with dropping storage prices, razor then margins, and IT estates made out of thousands of specialized point solutions cobbled together with every integration pattern ever invented and you get a de facto retention of infinity paired with a de jure obligation of could-be-anything-tomorrow.

I’m from a culture in which family use a very small number of very highly conserved names and non standard name positions. I’ve noticed this is sufficient to confuse the low rent data brokers that do statistical linkage. My parents and grandparents and my siblings and my children have all at various points shared addresses landlines and have overlapping names. The brokers are very unclear on how many people are involved , what sex , what generations what states.

This is a suboptimal characterization of this site.

I think it would be less wrong to say this is where covered entities that discover reportable breaches of PHI (whether their own or that of a BA) that trigger the immediate reporting obligation report them.

This is a narrower scope of coverage and shallower depth of epistemic obligation than you implied.

I don’t follow it but your last suggestion (use single income not household) was new to me and interesting in as much as it seems like an obvious extension of “The Two-Income Trap” thinking.

To some extent seems like it would also provide a margin of safety given homogeneity effects eg https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/working-pa...

Isn’t the obvious answer that many would refute the premise of meaningful regional variation? In which case the claim isn’t that somewhere else is that place but rather than all places are substantially equivalent on this difficult to measure concept (or difference is unknown).

An adjacent point but despite ubiquitous birth order superstitions quality literature consensus seems to be that birth order is not a large driver of predictable differences. Example:

This paper shows a use case running on Apple silicon that’s theoretically valuable:

Who cares if result is right / wrong etc as it will all be different in a year … just interesting to see a test of desktop class hardware go ok.

S&P500 isn’t “the economy” but in the context of talk of a bubble it seems like we’re talking about equities not the whole economy. So let’s just keep taking the short cut …

The top is over performing so concentration is real but it’s not the only growth driver:

The return / valuation concentration prob not as titillating as the PE run up:

True or not true hard to say without better definitions of terms but seems like current profile is not ultra common in history but it’s not a bunch of losers getting diluted out.

The article is clear — lottery offer of a seat in a school which met inclusion criteria. Inclusion criteria are clearly outlined in the supplemental materials which are a single URL away which also include details on the allocation.

Talk of causation anywhere other than the unit of randomization is speculation.

I have heard variations on this many times but never a definitive expert assertion of its truth rooted in confirmed facts. Did he forego cure, or was he merely quirky and uncured as two independent truths?

A bit of searching did not bring me complete clarity.

The undisputed fact of his liver transplant in TN suggests a sophisticated deployment of his considerable means to me. Given this it seems to me that he may have been as described above at the time of diagnosis but he probably was not by the time of transplantation.
