Most of the time when I interact with a doctor, they're just entering in information into a database.
Maybe we could bust this guild of ridiculous standards to maybe squeeze in a few others? I don't get why we gotta firstly work our doctors to death, and secondly ensure they are "the best." Seriously, sometimes "good enough" is just that. Just don't let junior doctors make critical decisions for people until theyve got a few years and show skill. I don't know, kinda like every other job. I'm not saying like let any schmuck do it, but any I crazy or is it not obsessive how high the barrier to entry is? That's bs purported by lobbiests and guilds of doctors trying to keep people out to keep their demand and wages high. It's the inverse of how a union (whereas this is a guild of skilled laborers not paying dues) abuse this.
It's not just about the labor, it's also about the liability and risk mitigation. Most diagnosis and treatment decisions are made by the doctor because they typically face the consequences if they are wrong.
You can blame US law for that. Why not treat them like a prosecutor once they've reached a certain expertise or status? It keeps them from any absurd liability because it's guarded by the state. I'd like to ask why doctor is going to intentionally put someones life at risk cause they're lazy? Sure you'll find some in government work, but if it's government, they'll easily have oversight.
They can also blame themselves. My partner was a healthcare worker (medical surgical) named in several lawsuits because someone on their floor fucked up and now some person is suffering. It's expensive to care for someone whose been disabled due to malpractice, so suing for even nominal damages is going to be expensive.
People make mistakes and sometimes they are deadly. This doesn't just happen to "lazy" doctors. If someone could die every time you introduced a bug, you still couldn't write bug free code.
There are services now which allow the doctor to film their interaction with a payment and then a lower paid person transcribe and do data entry. It's remarkable that we've come to that.
This is what happens when the government regulates hospitals just like they do banks. At this point they might as well single payer the whole thing. It save everybody loads of time and energy. Not to mention the abhorrently massive data entry.
Qubes on a solid state usb is my go-to, but this brings the functionality of trustedpdf from qubes to anything that can run a docker container. It appeals to a much wider audience, as disposable Linux boot drives have a significant barrier of entry to the not-so-technical folk.
My only concern here is vm escape and Libre office are two VERY big targets for nation state actors. (libreoffice had an exploit exposed in the vault7 leaks) It's a tradeoff for being able to safely open "totallynotphishingexe.pdf" on windows or osx.
Do you hate your job, coworkers, or employer? If it's your job, do a LOT of research on what you'd rather do. If it's your coworkers, get a better job. If it's your employer, get a different job.
Consider maybe going back to school in a new field. I'm currently doing it now going into CS. I've learned I'm a tasked based person, not a people type person. I was in business but hated it because relationships arent as measurable in terms of achievement as an actual skill is. You may have to do some soul searching here to try and figure it out. Good luck!
I say that in reference to the type of job I like, not in the sense that I'm anti-social. Those jobs just never appealed to me. I've always worked with people who did those jobs, but they made it sound like you are constantly at the customers mercy. I always hated doing that type of work in like early retail stuff because I don't like the customer at my neck. I don't work well under pressure that way because I feel I can be overly objective in those scenarios.
I like programming and skill based roles. I like to come to as a resource and someone who is competent. I don't like being some faux salesman with no skills except how to talk to people. That doesn't have a realistic value to me and I can't drive myself to get better at...nothing.
I'm in the camp of Dolph Lundgren honestly. You cannot tell me this virus has a higher mortality rate than any other major outbrekas like cholera, polio, tuberculosis, leprosy, etc. If we're worried about old people dying, tell them to stay inside. I don't get why we gotta halt the economy for less than 10% of the population. I personally feel it was a major overreaction by governments.
People get weird when they come to grips with their mortality. Yes ideally we don't want people to die en masse but have we gotten so cozy that we forget it's still a fact of life? People die, tragically and often.
This shutdown is going to have larger long term ramifications to our system than if we just let it spread like normal. Those numbers reported, do we know if they're even accurate? What if a doctor was like "welp it sounds like Corona, so I'm just gonna say it is."
It's not only about people who die. We don't fully understand the implications of the virus on people who do not die. It's possible a large portion of recovered people will have other problems down the line because of the damage to their lungs. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22943406
> You cannot tell me this virus has a higher mortality rate than any other major outbrekas like cholera, polio, tuberculosis, leprosy, etc.
Cholera and polio are transmitted by unhygienic food and water supply, you don't catch it by breathing in someone's cough or spit, we try to (and largely successful in developed well) by improving access to clean water and cooking food thoroughly. While they can be deadly, they are not highly transmissible between people.
Transmission method of leprosy was not well understood (even now, and especially when its effect was devastating), and nowadays it can be treated and even cured, plus it's effects are slow and rarely result in death.
TB is the closest in your examples - but it has some key difference, for one, it is not transmissible while it's still latent, so you are not going to think you are in perfect health while actually transmitting it. We also have vaccine for it, that is in wide use in areas where TB is commonplace, we also have treatment for it. It rarely results in death in places with adequate medical facilities.
In short, this virus is different from "any other major outbreaks", at least in recent centuries. And we currently do not have vaccine nor treatment for it.
I'm no economist, so I cannot tell you if "less than 10% of the population" dies or become severely ill would result in bigger economical impact, but I find it highly responsible to basically say "sorry, but these dozen companies' survive is more important than your grandpa's life" to the society at large.
It's not some libertarian ideal saying companies should survive over people, it's if a large portion of the economy gets halted, other people will become impoverished too possibly leading to other devolving societal effects.
Remember that the black death cause such population decline among the peasants that the equivalent of wages increased dramatically. Artisans as well as they were skilled. Leftists always claim they want higher wages, well a dramatic death toll and innumerable job openings will put a massive premium on labor. Even bad labor.
My job I was at previously has a management team so out of touch that employees show up to the office physically, but spaced apart, meanwhile management is work from home.
Is that not the biggest FU a company could give its employees? They gave them all a $1 raise (woopee when you're making 12) to compensate them. All because they didn't want them to work from home either. Old people clinging to old ways, namely, do as I say not as I do.
Well I'm currently in school for a CS degree in SWE. I'm 25M currently attending a state college with hopefully 1 and a half years left if all classes align.
I didn't know what I wanted to do when I graduated high school. I just wanted to work. I tried community college but sorry burnt out. I tried business, welding, and IT. I passed a few classes, others I just quit attending. I had no goals or direction and super depressed I couldn't even get a job that made more than $11/hour. I worked probably 15 jobs total in my life by 21. In hindsight looking at it I think this mostly had to do with me wanting to be a priest but people talking me out of it. I struggled with religion ultimately just recanting allowing for myself to rebuild my purpose as a weird way of putting it.
I then got an assiciates degree in business and started working at a bank. From there I worked for a few years building up skills and experience. I got really good with Excel and realized a lot of what I was doing with the functions was very similar to programming. So the logic part and substituting variables was super easy for me to comprehend.
The thing I really appreciate about going back to school now is I know what's what. I know what matters and what doesn't. I had a fully laid out plan and understanding of the way in which I'd achieve my goal. It's so weird that the whole Corona issue didn't even put a dent in how I planned things out. I think it actually helped even get an internship. I'm still very green in terms of skill though. But I enjoy learning it because it's a skill. It's not like hypothetical nonsense they teach you in business classes.
Money laundering is still pretty easy to do. If you go through the proper channels and know the reporting laws, it's easy to avoid altogether. Although time consuming and you deal with swaths of physical cash, it's not impractical. You could honestly pay high school students like $20 to convert $1000 cash to a money order or something addressed to your company. They "pay" the company for it's "services" and you wash it through loans and other stuff.
Now the trick is to manage it in a way that a prosecutor couldn't convince a jury of structuring. Have an accountant fabricate records and mix it with legitimate purchases and expenses. It's essentially a front...but what corporation isnt one?
I still can't get over the fact that apple is still putting in less than 2000hz batteries. Sure the life is great the first year, but as they make updates and increase the processor usage, suddenly that battery can barely last a day. I know people hate phablets, but if that gets me a 2 day battery life, so be it.
If I recall correctly the iPhone 8 actually lost battery capacity because they needed space for the wireless charging system. So if they wanted to use the same case design (to save money on re-tooling/re-use existing assembly lines) and keep wireless charging it might not be avoidable. We'll likely know more if IFixIt or similar do a tear-down.
I do agree though that even with potential battery savings from the newer CPU architecture, it could be a problem in the latter half of the SE 2's life.
It's what happened to the original SE. I lose like 20% battery on my original SE from 2 years use on iOS 13 just from web browsing for 30 minutes.
Apple has been making some just flat out awful design decisions in terms of their hardware for the past, what feels like a decade at this point but it's much shorter than that. While form can be greater than functionality, why would I ever want a phone that blatantly has printed on it "Planned Obsolescence?" The things I care about on an iphone are not "the best processor" out there. I want efficient ram usage and long battery life. Ram was never an issue with iOS so they just needed a great battery. What did they give us? A better processor...that's going to drain the battery in a year with the next iOS update because they keep pushing software updates that demand more of the system. I won't be shocked if malware get's into iphones any time soon showing how lazy they've been with MacOS in the last few years.
I think Islam may like a word with you on that one. There it's not just the priests. It's very common for minors to be married off, young boys to be sold as sex slaves (common in the turkic -stans areas although not sure about today), and the "it's only gay if you take it" reasoning I believe in one of the hadith's which condones pedophilia.
Religion was created in order that priests, mullahs, etc. could perpetrate otherwise forbidden sexual acts on defenseless people. Some later offshoots have forgotten this, but Catholicism and Islam remember. What was the ISIS caliphate, if not organized sex crime? It seems the Protestants favor abuse of girls instead of boys, which in their minds is more moral...
However life back then was incredibly different. We can look at it in hindsight and judge it with the morality of today but that's somewhat unfair of how life was. I mean slavery was commonplace, death sentences for most crimes, and not really any "true" justice system.
