Probably nothing (because your gpu has some power spikes, just not hitting max power), but I’d make sure the integrated gpu in the bios is turned off; it’s possible something happened when playing, and the bios reverted to selecting the igpu on your 7900x3d. When I first booted my 7800x3d this was occurring, and I fixed it by turning it off in the bios.

Yes this can happen, though it should be noted that a nonprofit health insurer would be regulated differently than a nonprofit research institute that isn’t responsible for providing or reimbursing care.

There can be corruption in governments and government programs too — but still the data says they do a better job at optimizing public health than for profit environments. Not letting perfect be the enemy of good, or better, it’s pretty clear from what I can gather that non profit is better than for profit, and optimized single payer is better than both of those.

Not all BCBS plans are nonprofit actually. And most comparisons I can find for nonprofit medical facilities show lower costs. I haven’t found many studies on pure on profit health insurance vs for profit insurance, but I did find a Harvard paper which compared specifically BCBS plans that converted from non profit to for profit, and here’s an excerpt from that:

Looping back to the theoretical models of NFP and FP health care organizations, the findings are consistent with models in which NFPs prioritize enrollment over profits (equivalently, models in which FPs prioritize profits over enrollment). While theoretically this difference in emphasis might not manifest in higher premiums or lower quality because FPs could be more efficient and find it optimal to maintain substantially the same premiums and quality as NFPs (and still reap higher profits via lower operating costs and/or medical expenses), empirically we do find there is a tradeoff: consumers face higher premiums when large NFPs convert to FP status. Although we do not directly study quality, we find no indirect evidence of quality improvements, as inferred from a model of employee healthplan choice. Moreover, we do find evidence that rivals of converting plans experienced sizeable increases in medical spending following conversion, a result that suggests FPs are likelier than NPs to engage in risk selection practices (e.g., denying or deterring enrollment of individuals with poor health or high health risk, a practice that was legal during the study period).

Here NP is nonprofit, FP is for profit, and NFP is not for profit. Bold emphasis is mine. You can read the study here:

So I would find actually the opposite of what you said, in aggregate, according to this study. Secondly, I still argue for expanded Medicaid and a public option / single payer. I’ve worked with large population datasets from US and internationally — invariably the health outcomes and monitoring, quality of data and followup, are all better for single payer systems.

I’m not suggesting it’s perfect — I’m suggesting it’s better. I’m suggesting optimizing a healthcare system around profit instead of population level health measures shouldn’t be done. I’m not suggesting that making things be non profit or single payer will magically resolve all issues, only that it will be better.

Firefox based browsers don’t as far as I know support protocols direct to usb connections, so if you’re using a web app based application (for example, some keyboard software) to flash your layouts you need a chromium based browser, and people generally choose brave over chrome (though I think it would be 100% fine to use chromium with hardening but that’s difficult with some of the upstream changes making chrome extension store less helpful — built in mitigations upstream as found in brave may be helpful in this regard, and faster).

Nonprofits are non stock issuing; since there are no shares, they can’t have any buybacks.

Haha well we should have 2Factor but I just meant Medicare for All

Insurance companies should be forced to be nonprofits.

Edit: I mean we should have MfA but at the least hospitals and insurance companies should be nonprofit.

Generally yes, but the F150 Lightning is assembled in Dearborn, Michigan (I believe with union jobs).

My personal order: locally assembled > union assembled > locally sourced materials.

The first because shipping a fully assembled product is costly environmentally, and if it’s assembled locally it also is feeding jobs locally (which the second most important thing to me is union supported). Finally, the more locally sourced the components (which are easier to ship but it still has an impact), the more it reinforces those first two things.

You can, of course, feel free to show us how you’d implement this in python. It’s fine to say you would do it differently, but don’t stop there, show how/what you would do differently. Add to the discussion, like the person you were replying to did, don’t detract.

In addition to other comments here, I also stopped playing because I moved to Linux and not gonna keep a windows partition alive just to play D2.

In the meantime, highly encourage folks to checkout grim dawn. Still gets updates even though it released years ago. Game worthy of buying to support these types of devs.
