Not if you put your apple device passcodes into your password manager as well -- all those biometrics are just shortcuts to avoid having to enter your passcode constantly.
My read of the fourth bullet is that if you're receiving non-emergency service from an out-of-network provider, they can still balance bill you as long as you've signed the plain-language consent. (Presumably with such signature being a pre-requisite to receiving services.)
Agreed. They are making in network and out of network the same from the the cost sharing perspective. To avoid screwing over out of network providers, they allow out of network balance billing, but only with consent.
The actual rule also goes into things like consent to be balance billed for your knee surgery, is not consent to be balance billed for the ICU care when that surgery goes wrong and you nearly bleed out, and suffer major organ damage, etc...
This consent option is not always available, an in those circumstances, balance billing is simply prohibited, and in network and out of network are fully equivlent in those cases from a patients' perspective.

The linked article is literally where it came from — The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows project coined it and some other words in an effort to describe an emotional state that was in need of a name.
(It’s ~8 years old at this point, just for the record.)
Sorry I didn't mean "I don't know where this word came from" because that's a straightforward and in this case uninteresting problem.
I meant I don't know where the apparent widespread online interest in making this word mainstream came from. Not a lot of _individual words_ have a lobbying team but this one seems to.
Samsung has a long-term capital and capacity planning process. Isn't it possible (if not likely) that they would pre-order equipment as part of capacity planning without having already decided where it's going to be deployed?
>Samsung has a long-term capital and capacity planning process.
This. Samsung is another company like Amazon that takes long view and flywheel to another level. And to answer question to comment below. Yes at one point Samsung was trying to make their own EUV Scanner, if you consider their NAND and DRAM scale it should comes as no surprise. And Samsung has their own Chemical Subsidiary along with dozen of others for their Foundry. They are taking vertical integration to an extreme.
And that is speaking as someone who dont particularly like Samsung. But Credit where Credit's due.
Let's also not forget their digital imaging line, specifically their foray into Mirrorless cameras
Sure, they shelved it (Hard to compete with established players who can spread R&D over volume), but people were pretty amazed at how well Samsung did entering that market from a quality standpoint.
Why does that matter? Because that indicates they have plenty of skill in lens manufacture, which is another critical component to a good fab.
That's right. Deep UV. They all but threw in the towel on EUV.
But the difference is that ASML + Carl Zeiss absolutely run the market.
Nikon has about 10% market share, and Canon 5%. The rest is basically ASML.
The thought on my mind is that any one of the major American semiconductor equipment manufacturers could partner with either of the two Japanese optics houses. Canon is worth about US $25B, and its semiconductor business generates about a fifth of its revenue. It's big enough to be useful, but small enough to be acquirable.
it's possible but it's going to take at least a year to build the building, another year or so to install, and another year to qual (these are ballparks).
Not to mention they have to staff the thing, train the staff, etc.
All of those things can be parallelized. It's one thing to say "opening by the end of 2023 is unlikely", but to say it's impossible is unnecessarily dismissive.
You can’t parallelism those... you need a building to install tools in it. You need the tools installed to qual them. You need the tools quaked to qual a process...
From personal experience I would posit scaling semiconductor manufacturing as 10x to 50x harder than getting a process flow to work in a development fab. Ramps are absolutely killer.
While I'm also optimistic on Samsung's ability to execute some version of this plan, those things can't be parallelized. You can't set up a complex water delivery mechanism until after the building is completed and the cleanroom has been built to spec and tested, and you can't calibrate the gigantic ASML machines until after that.
That seems like a reasonable timeline, which means the fab will be online by 2023, just like the article says. Mass production won't start until 2024, though.
Resting heart rate is commonly tracked by wearables e.g. Apple Watch. Blood glucose can be self-monitored with the same tools diabetics use. Nutritional deficiencies can be measured with blood tests; WellnessFX was one of the early channels to get these but I believe Quest will let you self-order them now.
That's not surprising -- those companies are all using their attorneys for registered agent services, and the law firm states that they specialize in energy companies -- both transactions and litigation.
It appears that the developers of solar projects follow the same pattern of real-estate developers: each project gets its own LLC, which allows them to contain any potential liability for the project, as well as sell ownership interests in the LLC to raise the funds for the project.
Per your linked article (and easily confirmable through public records), the Jackpot* series are all projects of Robert Paul of Alternative Power Development who has been quoted in the Idaho press about solar for the last decade.
> each project gets its own LLC, which allows them to contain any potential liability for the project
Interesting. That's a great idea for any fixed time + capital intensive projects. Keeps the structure, ownership, and responsibilities clean for a small amount of legal/paperwork.
>Each property is its' own LLC to minimize potential liability/risk.
The individual SVP structure for rental properties is primarily used to avoid land sale taxes. Sell the shares, not the building/land etc. to benefit from a different tax regime.
Generally speaking, folks use the CME futures as a leading indicator, so you may have several different trading strategies that trade against the European markets and just use the CME pricing as one of their inputs. In that case, the most bandwidth-efficient play is to send your market data over once from Chicago, replicate it / make it available to all your trading strategies, and let them do their work locally.
Sure, you're certainly not sending a full feed -- presumably you've got some algo sitting in Chicago that's looking for interesting / potentially profitable price / vol changes and sending them via the fast path, while the remainder of the feed is going via higher-bandwidth but slower paths.
You might as well have your decision logic before the communication path, then you can send like buy/sell orders in code using an agreed decryption pad/dictionary. (Akin to Morse's original conception).
I'm not an algo trader, but you need the data from both ends of the link to determine if there is a trade you want to make, right? One side or the other is going to need prices from both ends in order to make a trading decision, and preferably both, since each side can only make decisions that are relevant to their side of the link, because needing a round trip negates all of the speed advantage you incurred by developing a top secret HF trading link.
Edit: I meant the HF here to refer to the "high frequency" wavelengths in use in the link (in Ham parlance, HF and shortwave are roughly synonymous), but just realized it also could be "high frequency" as in the frequency of trades.
