Hospitals in the USA are not super concerned about patient outcomes at the administrative level. Everyone just wants to be middle of the road “good enough” to not get sued for negligence. There isn’t really any incentive for doing better than that and it costs a lot to be better

Would splitting into regions make things better or worse? It feels like the US it’s going the same way but we’re a couple decades behind you

I’ve tried tweeting the fill settings and while it works the rest of the components are undersized for that load and sometimes the motor overheats and the whole thing shuts down. The side load also tends to leak at too high a water pressure.

You can make diy detergent by adding a teaspoon of TSP to the wash. It helps a lot.

It’s easy to build an airplane. It’s hard to build one that lasts 30-50 years and to prove that it has an acceptably low failure rate.
“ Expect AI to continue spreading into more legal gray areas as companies take advantage of the lack of clarity on legal responsibility to raid and pillage our economy and societies.”

This is exactly what’s happening, it doesn’t even need ai just an algorithm that allows companies to have an excuse for denying care. If there is no human in the loop nobody is responsible. You can’t send an AI to jail so they can just abuse the system.

Judges need to force companies to stop using algorithms and allow approve all expenses when an algorithm is found to be illegal or potentially illegal and that will end the practice quickly. The burden of proof should be on the algorithm writer to show its legal

Wait your work isn’t filled with that group? We don’t have a lot of ballerinas but the rest…

Cowboys run the show, clowns work for them as middle mangers. Most of us low folks are firefighters.

You can already kind of side load via test flight. I don’t really see any additional risk. It will add a lot of additional complications for apps that relied on side loading not being allowed as part of their security plan

Why does everyone have to have a phd to be considered right for the job?

That being said 6 years experience is a bit sort for CTO especially if your college schooling wasn’t in the subject matter.

I guess it’s more like 11 years work experience. That’s more reasonable especially for a high achieving person

There is an old saying that quantity is a quality on its own.

Hyundai is a top tier automaker. In the last decade they leapfrogged America manufacturers in build quality and are basically on par with Japanese manufacturers for quality. They caught a bad rap recently for the cheapness of their low end models and missing anti theft features but they were offering much more bang for your buck at the low end which is why they were popular
