Ina threw herself into running the Barefoot Contessa with well-heeled Hamptons clients, including a woman who came in every week to buy 10 pounds of grilled lemon chicken. “And finally after weeks and weeks of this, I had to say, ‘What are you doing with ten pounds of grilled lemon chicken?'” Garten recalled. “She said, ‘My cat likes it.'”

She explained that her late husband, Oswald, was an actor. In the late 1960s, he had recorded the “Mind the Gap” announcement for the Northern Line on London’s sprawling underground network. Even after he died in 2007, McCollum could always come to the station, sit on the platform, and listen as her husband’s distinctive, sonorous voice boomed a safety warning to passengers, reminding them about the gap between the train doorway and the platform. It was a ritualized comfort, a tiny audio link to the man she loved and deeply missed.

This interview with the Longshoremen’s union leader is worth watching for its full 17 minutes. Mind-blowing blue collar perspective. Wow!
All this to say, Epic is a monorepo of unfathomable size and complexity. Facilitating the broad range of workflows and users involved in the many modules and applications they’ve built over the years entails a massive data model. The Epic EHI Exportspecification gives us a small glimpse of this – while it does not include all the non-patient-related data structures, it alone has 2,541 tables, meaning the real size of the data model is even larger. This size, this complexity, and these decades and decades of code all funneling to a single shared instance are Epic’s undeniable and near-impregnable moat.
For no particular reason, here are some extracts from British fiction about sausages. The first few are primarily about breakfast – the real thing, not that Full English Breakfast that was invented by marketing people.
If you want to escape from the sadness of the end of the world, I recommend tuning into this episode. Sometimes. You just need to listen to smart women discuss the corruption we fight. It will make you feel better, I promise. @NicoleShanahan is my hero.
“Rather than debate and persuade her fellow Americans, she’d like to censor people who engage in ‘misinformation.’ I think that is a much bigger threat to democracy than anything that we’ve seen in this country in the last 40 years.
Also, how the faulty component, part of an optional autoland system, ended up on a MAX though United hadn’t ordered that option
“Are you talking about that faith or some nebulous, general ‘faith’ that says we’re good enough, and smart enough to make our own decisions? What ‘faith’ are you talking about?”
“Ambient listening is a solution to a self-created problem of requiring too much data entry by clinicians.”
Epic wouldn’t be where it is today if it weren’t for the federal government.” “We digitized the health records over the past 20 years,” another veteran of those efforts recalls, “but lost the hearts and minds of clinicians along the way.”
Pretty soon my perfectly automated system was not just a UI mess but all the logic was about handling different circumstances for running the business.
I’ll note here both Mr. Trump and JD Vance have now taken questions from reporters in Wisconsin without the campaign deciding who gets to ask them. That hasn’t happened yet with either VP Harris or Tim Walz.
These cases still carry the downsides of database-owned code listed above, but are also places where the benefits of putting them in the database outweigh the costs
A group of private helicopter pilots working on their own at great risk to rescue people deep in the mountains of storm-ravaged Western North Carolina. Their time, money, heart, soul.

So @fema is broke? What did they do with their funding?
One vehicle regulation that needs to change is, a software update is not a recall. @Reuters knows that, but they also know their readers are stupid, so they can continue to tell lies with their Tesla headlines. Actually, their last paragraph usually does mention a software update, but they know their readers don’t read that far.
It seems to be a simple matter of incentives: the more illegals imported, the higher the Dem vote over time. It will only backfire on the Dems if there is a revolt by existing citizens, otherwise it is a certain path to permanent single-party rule!
EV prices relative to traditional vehicles in the US market are higher than in China and the EU, and Washington has reduced competitive pressure by walling off its market to Chinese exporters with 100% tariffs.

Registration lists are updated but they aren’t kept anything like “current.” Voters must affirm they are eligible but that’s not really a safeguard against persons who don’t pay attention, don’t understand or are going to vote anyway. That doesn’t mean that there is widespread fraud but it also doesn’t assuage concerns about election security.
The Network Swarm used bureaucratic lawfare against Musk to coerce him into alignment. It backfired, and the government lost some legitimacy.
Why has the greatest entrepreneur of my generation (@elonmusk) risked his career to side with Trump? Why has the most consequential grassroots environmentalist of my time (@RobertKennedyJr ) sacrificed friends, family, and reputation to side with “The Orange Menace?” Why has the most courageous peace activist of the twenty-first century (@TulsiGabbard) left our party? Because Tulsi, Bobby, and Elon see what I see.
“What they were buying was the ability to charge patients who were consuming a non-shoppable service,” Adelman says — one for which patients are unable to compare prices. If you’re having a heart attack, you’re not going to call around to hospitals to find out who is going to give you the best deal.
Diehl was a fixture in Wisconsin Dells and Lake Delton for 57 years and helped the area build a tourism industry that went from largely a summer endeavor to a year-round enterprise that now has an economic impact of more than $2 billion annually.
