So Kushner's phone was hacked around the same time as Hunter Biden's laptop? Why has the latter captured the media so much more then the former?

The ordinary matter that gets tangled up is interstellar dust clouds, not stars and planets.

What are some GNU coreutil extensions that you find you can't live without?

Establishing a correlation is only a starting point. After that there is an entire field of statistics called causal inference that is devoted to establishing causality using a variety of tools.

The strength of correlation is NOT the only useful metric and should not be mistaken for more rigorous statistical analysis regarding causality.

> A hand-rolled recursive descent parser can say something like "missing semicolon after return statement" because the code knows exactly what construct it's in.

> A generated parser's error is usually derived mechanically from the state machine, "expected one of: X, Y, Z, got W", which is correct but generic.

You are not describing the difference between hand-written and generated but rather top down vs. bottom up.

There may be some confusion here because hand-written parsers are almost always recursive decent (a form of top down), while the most popular parser generators (yacc, bison) are bottom up. However hand-written bottom up parsers do exist (Pratt parsing, recursive ascent), as do top down parser generators (ANTLR, Coco/R, Chumksy). Chumsky in particular gives pretty decent error messages out of the box.

Bottom up parsers can parse a larger set of languages than top down parsers, but the tradeoff is you don't know what you are parsing until you successfully reduce the rule (unlike top down parsers). This is why errors in bottom up parsers often lack comments on structure/context like "after return statement" and can only give a list of which alternative symbols would have been valid.

> What am I missing?

Several things.

First, private practice docs see patients with very good employer provided insurance, but residents are largely seeing patients that private practices wont see - patients who are far too medically complex to fit into a 10 minute slot and who also have particularly stingy insurance.

So as opposed to a private practice doc who is seeing 30 patients per day and billing an a average of $250 to $300 per patient (certainly not $1000 - that is unrealistic in my experience), a resident is seeing more like 10 to 15 patients per day (30 minute slots) and billing less than $100 per patient.

Second, residents have to be supervised. You have not included the salary of the physicians supervising them in your calculation.

Third, and I have mentioned this many times before on HN, training is limited by chiefly by the number of training sites that can offer quality training. For example, most hospitals will not see a single case of Guillan-Barre in a single year. Would you want to be treated by a nuerologist who trained at such a hospital? This is why neurology training is generally limited to places with a high volume of neurologic cases that would be considered rare at the average hospital, and these hospitals can only accommodate so many residents. Even for general medicine, you probably do not want to be treated by a doctor who trained at a hospital where any case that passed a certain complexity was transferred out to a bigger center.

General practitioners make more like 250k on average. 150k for general practitioners working in academics, but not overall.

I don't think Zelenskyy is a saint - far from it.

However this is one of the weakest possible grievances you could raise because Putin also released rapists and murderers from prison to raise manpower, most famously during the spring 2023 Bakhmut offensive. There is no moral highground on that point.

Actually, this is actually a near universal issue with Russian grievances against Ukraine. Virtually any grievance that Russia can claim against Ukraine, Ukraine can claim that exact grievance back at equal or greater measure.

This is a classic Russian perspective on the war - that Ukraine is a gang of neo-Nazis that are dead set on eliminating Russian speakers from Ukraine by force. Russians will further claim that this gang of Russophobic neo-Nazis is led by Zelenskyy, a Jewish man who speaks Russian as his mother tongue and Ukrainian as a second language.

The absurdity of this claim should be self evident.

> Early termination of a domain registration does not impact the life cycle of the domain, as the domain can still go through the various stages of a standard life cycle.

According to ICANN cutting the life cycle short doesn't have any effect on the life cycle?

ICANN corruption is at the level of FIFA corruption.

An absolute doddle assuming you have an absolutely excellent test suite. Otherwise on any nontrivial codebase you will still have regressions that make it to production and you will waste your time squashing bugs rather than writing new features.

It's a MongoDBism. The MongoDB community used document to mean the nonrelational equivalent of a row in a relational database. But over time there was definitional shift, and now it means a JSON blob, even if that blob is in a relational database.

I am confused as to how this is an argument for a single source of truth. It seems like you've presented an argument for the opposite. If there were a single source of truth, there would be no point in seeking a second opinion - it would be the same as the first. If the first opinion was correct, excellent. But if the first opinion was incorrect (and no AI model is correct 100% of the time), then you're straight out of luck.
