you can absolutely ask the hospital for a good faith estimation.

well it depends.

for major surgeries, no. after you satisfy your deductible, you’re likely to pay a co-insurance on your procedure.

co-insurance is the percentage you’re personally responsible.

so lets say your procedure is billed by hospital for 50,000. and your co-insurance is 20%.

you would be paying 20% of the 48000, so 9600.

up to your “out of pocket maximum”, which can be like 15000 to 30000 or whatever.

if you’ve already paid like 10k already this year then you would just be paying up to 5k for ur cancer treatment.

confusing? yes. fuck health insurance so much.

no, it works. so they’ll do it forever.

the prevalence of iPads with 20,22,25 percent tips for a coffee is having me question the entire practice for sure.

im also seeing reataurants operating server robots now. for those I only tip 10%.

correct on all parts, it pits dasher against customers. also these companies are still not profitable. that should tell you something.

the truth is that the business model just doesn’t work. if you want to pay drivers actual living wages, delivery fees would have to be more than 20 dollars for each order.

you don’t know what you’re talking about do you. why did you even bother typing all this up if you don’t know shit.

the drivers are paid more or less constant and they can see the total payout and mileage. an order that doesn’t have tip attached will slowly increase in payout until a driver takes it. so those orders tend to be slow.

orders do get ignored all the time and people complain about cold food all the time too.

no that is the truth, what it doesn’t tell you is that the drivers are paid like 2.50 to 3 bucks per delivery. so tips makes up the majority of their earnings at this point.

human math-bags?

hear hear, if it has problem then I take it to apple store for service. I don’t wanna waste time fucking about on my laptop. I’ll do trouble shooting on desktop but I just want long battery life and apple silicone beat the fuck out of anything else.

for some stuff absolutely, styling frameworks like bootstrap and others kludged together the concept of grid based designs. css grid just makes it official and more flexible.

mdn goes into it more and it’s way more involved than I thought, looks like order of operand doesn’t matter. see the number to string section

2 equal signs will coerce the second operand into the type of first operand then do a comparison of it can. so 1 == “1” is true. this leads to strange bugs.

3 equal signs do not do implicit type conversion, cuts down on weird bugs. 1===“1” is false.

edit: it appears to be more complicated than that for double equals and the position of operands don’t matter. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Equality

bro we’re on css grid now

ikr…feels like I’m taking crazy pills here. this is federation at work.

so a malicious instance/user that post child porn should just be able to infect as many instances as they want?

I mean you won’t, they way it’s going to shake out is instances with similar values form nation-states and cut ties with other nation-states they dont agree with

well probably see the emergence of meta-alliances soon that dictate the degree of separation of a blacklisted instance.
