The lesson is that kids of all species are dickholes to each other.

Every civil servant signs off on some sort of ethics policy.

His family were also drug lords.

This wikipedia link is about his maternal grandfather.

FDR did great things in office. He was also acting in self-interest.

In another universe, Henry Wallace wasn’t replaced by Truman as VP and thus Wallace became president upon FDRs death. That would have made a massive difference in our history.

Anyhow, for the edification of all…

love me some opium!

For me, this is making things much much less nuanced.

Drawbacks of EPIC

Super expensive - only large outfits can even afford it.

Poor design - a multitude of modules that often use different design principles so knowing one module doesn’t help much with another.

Extreme vendor lock-in - EPIC is very similar in business model to Microsoft in the first decades, basically a mafia.

Lack of interoperability - EPIC interfaces poorly with lab and diagnostic equipment, EPIC actively fights development and adoption of interoperabilty standards.

Dictating Clinical Workflow - EPIC is designed primarily to assist billing, not record keeping for patient benefit. Thus workflows are highly constrained and significant time must be spent clicking about to get the system to let one do normal things.

I mean, EHR is inherently complex so any EHR, but EPIC makes it much worse than it needs to be.

Yes. That is how it has always been.

We seem to have a suppressive person in the chat.

(JK, yes, it is. I mis-read the question and gave an example of culty stuff that is a hobby.)

There are enough training examples that we could get a reasonable facsimile.

But that’s not what we are getting. They are jamming it into every crevice of society they can. A mild and measured introduction is NOT going to be allowed and the damage will be done.

I have little patience for moderation in the face of serious preventable consequences.

 

Or the one?

I would be curious what Lemmings think the results of a survey would be, if that question were asked in a non-political setting?

 

I mean a cosmically fair tribunal.

Prove me wrong.

 

I am finally making the push to self host everything I possibly can and leave as many cloud services as I can.

I have years of linux server admin experience so this is not a technical post, more of an attempt to get some crowd wisdom on a complex migration.

I have a plan and have identified services i would like to implement. Take it as given that the hardware I have can handle all this. But it is a lot so it won’t happen at once.

I would appreciate thoughts about the order in which to implement services. Install is only phase one, migration of existing data and shaking everything down to test stability is also time consuming. So any insights, especially on services that might present extra challenges when I start to add my own data, or dependencies I haven’t thought of.

The list order is not significant yet, but I would like to have an incremental plan. Those marked with * are already running and hosting my data locally with no issues.

Thanks in advance.

The pearl clutching is strong with this one. As usual, they gloss over the fact that health insurance profits are determined by the denial rate. The author conflates necessary rationing of care in any system with the clear incentive of for-profit insurance to deny care. Such cupidity.

I would love to hear perspectives on the relative strengths and shortcomings of this study.

While the solarpunk in me loves the conclusion because it supports my deepest values, it is also a very strong claim, thus requiring strong scrutiny.

I believe this fits in politics, because, if true, this conclusion must still become politically accepted to be realized.

Article highlights:

As ecological breakdown looms, the basic material needs of billions remain unmet. We estimate the minimal energy for providing decent living globally & universally. Despite population growth, 2050 global energy use could be reduced to 1960 levels. This requires advanced technologies & reductions in demand to sufficiency levels. But ‘sufficiency’ is far more materially generous than many opponents often assume.
