>And the answer simply put is our healthcare industry is inefficient at every level seemingly by design.

The health insurance system certainly is.

Health insurance is a method for transferring money from healthy people to sick people who need it.

Health insurance companies don't get rewarded for being efficient. Quite the contrary: they get rewarded based on how *inefficient* they are. The more money they take from health people, and the less money they give to sick people, the more profit they make.

In Soviet Russia, birds watch YOU!

They don't have any pressure to get less lethal, they just have a pressure to spread more. If there's a strain of covid that remains an asymptotic spreader for 3 weeks (instead of the current 2), and on day 22 causes the person to instantly die, that strain would be favored.

Guess none of it was written in 'R'

>The sloppiness of programmers, QA and system analysis in IT systems is at an all time low.

I see YOU don't check what you write either!

What I love are those forms which will helpfully 'sanitize' copy and pasted input by removing the decimal point and leaving in everything after it.

Good analogy - chalk is made of micro-fossils, so an alien planning an Earth expedition would *greatly* benefit from having a sample of chalk instead of going in blind.

That's similar to a sorting algorithm a GAN came up with, but the GAN's implementation is even more efficient.

GAN Sort: Delete the entire array. As there are no entries, it is by definition sorted.

Can you name every felony crime in the US?

If not, how can you be certain that you haven't committed a felony? And before you say you haven't done anything that *should* be a felony, remember that in the united states, picking up a fallen bird feather in your backyard can constitute a felony offense.

IIRC it was someone who snuck into twitter's slack and got access to the tools that way

Pale Moon, a fork of firefox from just before they tried to copy chrome in every way.

In our solar system, cloud city would be best built on venus. If you're 50 km up, temperatures range from 0 to 50 degrees C, and the pressure is around 1 atm. At that altitude the atmosphere is also significantly denser than Earth's, so you can build your cloud city as a giant floating blimp, which circles the planet every four Earth days or so on the prevailing winds.

It's a cycle where media feeds back into the justice system (c.f. the supreme court citing Jack Bauer vis a vis torture being justified)

In the current year, 2020, literal trillions of dollars have been spent in order to prop up the stock market, including buying corporate junk bonds.
