In the US one way to help mitigate this problem is to start shifting some of the risk from the insurance plans on to the provider networks. As mentioned people can change insurance plans frequently so investing in their health can be difficult. While they change plans frequently, the providers they see would be slower change. There are times when a change in plans will cause in change in PCPs. But that should still be less frequent then the change in insurance.
But we would need to reward provider networks for keeping people healthy, not just treating them when sick.
Honestly, the overall process reminds me of what I do some days trying to automate processes which were not designed to be automated. I know what I want to do, I just have to figure out how, step by small step, using things not in the way they were intended to be used.
Fair use is a defense against copyright violations. If you are deemed not to have a copyright violation to begin with, you do not need to use fair use as a defense.
One of the big differences is just the size of the schools. I was in Ireland for 8th and 9th grade. The school I went to consisted of grades 6th-12th with a total of around 300 students, with 48 kids in my grade. My graduation class from high school back in the US was around 600. My high school consisted of 10th-12th grade with around 1800 students total. This difference in size makes a huge impact in the different cultures that have evolved in the different school systems.
There is the HCRA surcharge (at least in New York state) that gets applied to many hospital and physician services. Part of the money from that is used to pay for these hospital services.
But not all colleges and universities are at the same level as Stanford. The idea is to provide higher quality education to a larger group of people who might not otherwise not be able to receive it.
As you state, this cannot replace the benefit of putting a whole bunch of smart and motivated people in close physical proximity, but can complement other programs or help other students achieve a better education then would otherwise be possible.
But all of those answers can be followed up by more detailed questions with specifics. If you are a company that values code quality, how do you back up that value? Do you have coding standards, do you do code reviews and so on. Either way, this provides a jumping off point for further discussion. If the interviewer cannot provide information about why working for them would satisfy those wants, then that company might not be a fit for you.
Insurance rates are based on the risk pool you fall into. When companies are purchasing plans for health insurance, the company as a whole is placed into a risk pool. Since you are dealing with a large group of people, in general the risk pool is lower for the company, then if each person was evaluated individually. Hence a company can achieve lower rates then an individual. And generally the bigger the company, the lower the rates. An individual purchasing would have to pay significantly higher rates for comparable coverage that they would if they were in a large company.
Normally that basic cycle would go:
1. I need to view some data, if I do not already have it, request it.
2. Generate html from data
3. Take generated html and place in appropriate place on page.
This skips step 2 by requesting the required html rather then the raw data. Step 2 is the part that would require the most code.
I see this as more then just an extension. The basic premise is that you cannot build an elegant solution to a problem that you do not have a deep understanding off. When working in a domain that you do not know, create an inelegant solution which works. In this process gain a better understanding of the problem, and use this knowledge in a later stage to build a better solution.
"In the absence of this forcing mechanism human nature takes over and most students fail miserably at the time management aspect of online classes."
But does this have to be the case? In the current educational environment, I would agree that a number of students benefit from being made to attend class. The question is if this is just a result of human nature, or something else. Where that something else could be having students go to college when they are not ready for it, or high schools and earlier killing students intrinsic desire to learn, or some other reason.
Conversely, if a student thinks this is something they want to do, and find out this is not what they want, better to do that sooner rather then later. Cheaper to do it this way then in college.
Well designed and well organized might be a better goal. As you suggest, there does is some bound on the minimum amount of complexity inherent in the problem. The goal is to reduce the unnecessary complexity in your code. Being able to recognize and remove unnecessary complexity is difficult.
This reminds me of the discussion on the where are people located survey and how self reported data like this is essentially worthless. Since the only conclusions one can draw from this sort of survey is that of those who responded 63% prefer the dark background, and that there are people who like light and those who like dark. Further generalization is meaningless.
Because in the end, him meeting a tragic end all to appease the author's anger does no good. While if Kim Jong can open up it would have a larger and more positive impact. Just a matter of trying to break the cycle of violence.
I think the important fact is that this worked. If this did not work even for someone with a sizable reputation and fan base, then the outcome would be bleak for those who do not. Plus as more people follow this path with success, even those who do not can benefit. The studios and other agencies may have to compete with this model, and in the process hopefully improve the current model for those who are still under it.
I would think it would be to make sure to control the actual physical distances. You are more concerned that two buttons are 10mm apart then 10px apart. If they become too close physically, then the higher the chance to miss click or other difficulties.
Unlike trademarks, you can hold a patent without having to defend it. You are not legally required to use it. So the choice to use it is yours. The logic behind defensive patents is similar to creating nuclear weapons as a deterrent and the theory of mutually assured destruction.
The problem is, patents are not a repository for searching for solutions and solving problems. If you were to do so, you open yourself for further liability down the road. Not only that, you then harm the person who discovers the same solution independently, even though, your patent did not help them in anyway.
What might make sense would be a combination. Have some barrier to entrance to limit the people to choose from, but then select randomly from the remaining candidates. For example, to be considered for an elected position, you first have to receive %x of the vote, or maybe only select from the top 3. This way you help to ensure that the person being elected is representing some of the population, but hopefully eliminating some of the games.
With location aware advertising that pays attention to the current conversation topics and that is capable of dropping you off at a businesses physical location which also gets charged on a CPD (cost per drop-off).
Plus the technology involved in storing, organizing, formatting and printing the data. This is more an example of an effective use of technology to solve the problem. Plus it serves as a reminder that the system to be created extends beyond just the computer.
The design of the memory hierarchy is dictated by the fact that in general the faster your memory is, the more it costs. As a way to balance this you have a hierarchy of memory, with the fastest closest to the cpu and also in the smallest quantity. So the compilers are optimized for the hardware, not the other way around.
The idea of an "inborn" trait in this context seems to me as a person who was able to learn something without really knowing how they learned it, which prevents them from being able to effectively teach it. Hence the inborn trait as an explanation of the magical process of learning how to do something.
