So here's something I don't understand about medical insurance:
My insurer has outsourced approving claims to a third-party. Isn't approving claims like, a core function of an insurance company?
This is a pretty good sign of a company that has fallen into late-stage capitalism, where they've decided their true function is to make money for the shareholders.
I miss the days when big companies took pride in their work and not just their profits.
Oh, @raven , my sweet summer child,
I wish I knew less about this business...
Approving claims is on the expense side of the ledger. They see automation as a cost , so they out source it.
This is a domain that is ripe for disruption. If anyone from #snowflakedb is listening, I would be delighted to contribute to the disruption.
Listen, there have been a lot of times over the years where my refusal to take shit in a workplace environment has harmed me, sometimes with severe financial consequences lolol, but I don't think anyone looks back at their working life and says "I wish I'd taken more shit"
@sue
Thank you!
In fact, I can confirm wishing that I had taken less shit.
I will admit that the financial impact hurt my kids and that was regrettable.

If you like old man shouting at the clouds energy, you must love my rant about the flaw in accounting that records investment in efficiency as an expense....
I don't think I'll ever understand the kind of person who says "you MUST fight with me about technology minutia. And if you choose not to, I will block you forever." Like it's such a weird combination of principles.

There should be no shame in recognizing that there are two kinds of developers:
those who like to write code
those who like to build things
The writers are happy to reimplement the same project with subtle changes over and over again. It doesn't really matter to them what the code does.
The builders prefer to solve problems, improve quality and increase layers of abstraction. (think of @simon )
Basically, any forum that destroys itself by using Discourse instead of phpBB is dead as far as being a proper forum goes. Bulletin Boards DO NOT need to be more like other social media shit. They NEED to be their own thing.
@howtophil
I'm generally a fan of discourse for forums, precisely because they are more structured than social media.
Then again, I'm not familiar with PHPbbs.
I do tend to replace the default theme for something more like reddit.
Anxiety that I will do it wrong and have to start over.
Then getting lost in video tutorials looking for one with concrete, opinionated cards. Morganeua on you tube has good, concrete examples.
Impatience that it's faster to just have project cards.
Both of those are common among people with ADHD (who may benefit most from the system)
Here's the logical structure of what you will be taught in terms of #statistics as a masters student in pretty much any #science field.
If MY DATA is a sample from two random number generators of PARTICULAR TYPE, and MY TEST has a small p value then MY FAVORITE EXPLANATION FOR THE DIFFERENCES IS TRUE.
This is, quite simply, a logical fallacy. The first thing wrong is that your data IS NOT a sample from a random number generator of that particular type. So we can ignore the rest logically.
Good example, and it is timely.
In fact, the cost for the recovery will show up as an expense on someone else's balance sheet.
So the only financial incentive is to save money on insurance premiums.
The example that brought me to this discovery was trying to answer the question
"How much can we spend to test the service before we release to the customer?"
The answer was "we can't spend more than our overhead budget for any single project."
I call this pattern "hire 9 women to have a baby in a month."
Investors keep doing this because every now and then they get a baby. Usually, they don't.
Accounting has no way to record that one of the women is 8 months pregnant.
