That’s not how insurance in the US works. Fundamentally it makes money by denying service and that will be it’s focus. Meanwhile costs will rise as the cost of healthcare reliably out paces both inflation and real wage growth. So you’ll pay more for even fewer services. It will not error to the benefit of people.

Maybe evil world concluding AI gets it start as a pharmacy benefit manager.

Reply to comment by UrbanSpartan in [OC]Combating The Opioid Epidemic Medicaid's Opioid Prescription Decline by Away-Pepper-9239

Ketamine, alcohol, nitrous oxide… short acting injectable local anesthetic. None are reasonable for chronic pain management. Additionally the evidence for gabapentoids working outside neuropathy is extremely poor.

I didn’t say all were impractical, I said many.

…and high dose NSAIDs will end up killing more of your chronic pain patients than opioids.

Obviously multimodal is the way to go, but it’s also wrong to pretend we have easy, effective solutions for opioid replacement.

Reply to Diving drone can switch between flying and swimming | A drone that can fly like a standard quadcopter but also operate underwater could be developed as a tool for engineers and search and rescue teams by chrisdh79

Hmmm… and we’ve been having weird little craft pop up next to naval ships…

This possibility has always struck me as more plausible than aliens or whatever. Many of the encounters don’t involve the jets and are instead very close range, relatively slow moving uknown objects that appear and disappear seemingly randomly. Seems to fit the bill for a submersible drone.

I suppose that might be somewhat true if it isn’t especially clear why you have that information/interest. Much of the time it’s just a professional discussion akin to one researcher reaching out to another.

They almost certainly didn’t “investigate.” This would have been closer to a “chat.” Not everyone at the FBI is an idiot and if someone has an interesting idea relevant to their interests, they’ll say what’s up to see if they can learn anything to revise this approach to a problem.

I did not originate the idea that NASA should be doing exclusively unmanned science missions. There is a long history of support for it in the scientific community.

What’s SLS/Artemis up to now? 100 billion? Come on.

Resource extraction for the purpose for commercial use: sounds like a good job for private industry. Which is what’s going to end up happening in very short order. NASA should be doing science. Let commercial interests do the mining.

It was recently pointed out to me that we could have had 9 JWST’s for the cost of this the useless Artemis program. Imagine how much science could actually be done! Instead we’d going to send three guys to live in a closet sized base on the moon to break a bunch of rocks.

Good job NASA 👍🏻
