@wanglong5930@ritwikpavan@onequince Tbh wasn’t really impressed with mine. Plus their Kickstarter behavior for the launch was scummy. Never backing them again.
Probably upgrading to a Briggs and Riley and selling the @peakdesignltd roller.
Still in love with their bags and pouches.
One issue we commonly face when getting radiology prior authorizations is that the ordering provider has already received a prior authorization at their hospital, even if the patient had intended to go elsewhere.
Often, they have the authorization in place before the referral goes out.
The result is delayed care while we track down someone from the hospital who can cancel the original authorization.
Only then can we actually send the request for the imaging facility the patient chose.
Pair that with a delay, denial, and appeal and you’ve got a recipe for extra patient suffering.
Yes but his degree from Oxford is in public health. My Oxford DPhil (same credential) is officially in “clinical medicine” and I would never ever consider calling myself a “physician”
His Columbia MD is a different story though…
The American Medical Association disagrees with the basic premise of this hitpiece against El-Sayed. According to the AMA, if you have a medical degree from a university, you're entitled to call yourself a physician.
He does have a medical degree. From Oxford. He's a physician.
An under appreciated part of this is the fact he has a “DPhil”. Literally no one in America knows what that is.
Yes, it’s a doctorate, equivalent to a PhD etc. but still confusing to Americans.
I love Oxford’s quirks but maybe they should just go with PhD like Cambridge does.
I don’t love the idea of using minimum release age for protection from Shai Hulud style attacks.
Sure, don’t download a new update the moment it comes out.
But it’s a tragedy of the commons type situation. If everyone just puts off their updates, there won’t be a lot of eyes to spot the issues.
The xz vuln in 2024 wasn’t spotted by a security researcher. It was found by a Postgres dev who noticed slow SSH boots. If he’d been running an older version of Debian, we’d all might have been hit.
We’re further sandboxing our dev environments so there aren’t any tokens to steal from another Shai Hulud attack (ie the one that got TanStack).
Even though we use Bun with a minimum release age, this hit too close for comfort.
If the vulnerability had been at runtime rather than as a postinstall script, we’d be down to our last layer of defense.
I imagine that at some point we’re just going to have to give up on local development entirely.
Stripe’s branding features are great but it’s a bit disappointing they don’t support arbitrary Google Fonts…
Yes we could make our own invoices from scratch but financial consistency > branding consistency
@shae_mcl My PhD stipend was explicitly for doing research, not teaching. I hope to repay our country for the resources invested in training me many times over.
I can live with a world in which degrees that don’t have a positive ROI aren’t subsidized by the rest of society.
But they don’t deny care. They refuse authorization because it didn’t meet pre-stated explicit standards for benefit payment.
Even the much-hated UHC includes this fact clearly in their denials:
“Note: This is a benefit determination, not a medical decision. Only you and your doctor can decide what medical care you need.”
@josefbender_ To be honest, the advice should be not to run npm install any day. Bun’s defaults are just more sensible in our high risk environment.
I wish npm, pnpm and yarn would match Bun’s decision not to allow arbitrary lifecycle scripts. It’s just too dangerous these days
@zikicmilos@aidenybai@sprintoHQ@uglyrobot Oh yes, it’s still quite a bit of work. I just like that Sprinto doesn’t have a single bundled “independent” audit partner like some of the other GRC platforms these days.
They make it very clear that they’re not your auditor and you pick on your own.
@aidenybai I ended up going for @sprintoHQ after reading @uglyrobot’s blog post. They have real audit independence (didn’t even try to push an auditor on me), a free trial, great pricing, and have been solid so far. CompAI was amateurish and Oneleet doesn’t have SOC 2 Type 2 themselves yet!
@anthonygitter@andrewwhite01 Side note: Did NLM change their OG image? I guess they want to make it extra clear they don’t publish the articles. It pains me every time I hear someone say “the NLM published a study…”
@ellis_wyattmusk@amimevalepitito@maiamindel Money alone won’t get you in to Harvard. Merit alone will.
That’s why the Extension School exists. Every student I’ve met from it has been exceptionally motivated and bright.
I’ve yet to meet a Harvard student from any school who was otherwise without merit but had money.
@schanuelmiller@kokaneka@tannerlinsley@tan_stack Is there a world where server functions can have OpenAPI specs? I know Nitro 3 just added beta support (didn’t work with Start when I tested) and there’s always oRPC and Elysia but it would be great to have out of the box
@Rippling has the most infuriating sales process I've ever seen. I've been bounced between four reps and had three meetings scheduled and then canceled by them... and I still haven't gotten pricing!
