Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

Why are you blaming the AMA for residency slot limits? Those are funded mainly by the federal government.

Interesting, thanks for pointing that out—turns out AMA is actually opposed to the cap, but the cap is largely an effect of how they’re funded under the 1997 & 1999 “Balanced Budget” Acts. Of course, outside funding can (and has) increased the cap, but it’d be better if the funding was centralized and purely based on need. (And “need” didn’t include bullshit like assuming 100+ hour weeks are reasonable.)

Why are you guys speaking as if using taxis to get to the ER is a new thing?

Yeah, I'm a 911 operator (well 112 since it's in Europe) and depending on.the situation we might send a taxi to get you. In other cases we'll send an ambulance AND a doctor. One size does not fit all.

Effect of private versus emergency medical systems transportation in trauma patients in a mostly physician based system- a retrospective multicenter study based on the TraumaRegister DGU®

quote:

Private transport (PT) accelerates the median pre-hospital times, but prolongs time to diagnostic measures and time in the trauma room.

...

PT seemed to lead to a small benefit in terms of mortality, which may reflect pre-hospital times, pre-hospital interventions or other confounders.

But if we’re going to have more walk-in clinics open 24/7 that will require more doctors! That would require more residency slots, and then the AMA wouldn’t be able to limit residency slots to haze residents with 120-hour work weeks and also keep out foreign doctors who need to do a US residency to gain licensure and also keep the doctor supply limited to ensure high pay!

The AMA doesn't really have any control over residency spots; they're actually tied to Medicare funding. They did recommend increasing the number of medical school spots, so now there's a backlog students who paid several hundred thousand dollars for an education but can't get placed in a residency program.

Celebrity hologram startup 8i to lay off half its staff

“Although we’ve made significant progress, we are continuously challenging our assumptions about where the AR/VR market is headed and how it will develop. And like any early stage company we need to be honest with ourselves and our employees about what kind of company we should build and how fast we need to grow,” 8i told TechCrunch in a statement. “Consequently, we are consulting internally on a proposal for changes to our organization that would align our teams and resources with important core technology initiatives that create the most long term value.”

I expected nothing less from Uber.

Uber used former CIA officers posing as businessmen to collect trade secrets and other intel, explosive letter claims

quote:

One claim in the letter is that an Uber LAT operative had found a "new technical capability" in a redacted foreign country that allowed it to collect mobile-phone metadata, including call logs with the time and date of various communications, likely phone calls and texts.

"The subsequent link-analysis of this metadata occurred on U.S. soil and revealed previously unknown, non-public relationships between Uber opposition figures, politicians, and regulators with unfavorable views on Uber and the ride-sharing industry," according to the letter, which claims the LATs conducted "foreign espionage" against a sovereign nation.

From a StockTwits "daily rip" email:

The story of Longfin

quote:

Some of you might think of the DotCom Bubble when you hear this.

A company called Longfin, which is a fintech company, IPO'd last week at about $6/share. It did not create much buzz at all. It trades under the ticker $LFIN. But a few days ago, they bought a "Blockchain" company called Ziddu. What did the market think of that? At one point, $LFIN traded as high as $142 per share (here's the chart)!

At $142 per share, Longfin's market cap was roughly $2 billion. During the first 6 months of 2017, Longfin had net income of $2 million.
