Thats too much trouble. In India, there is a new scheme of "ayushman bharat" 500K inr which is quite a lot of money, per family. No co-pay, you show the card in supported hospitals or government hospitals and you are in.

There are "problems" but overall it has had a net benefit with poor people who could not afford medical treatment just get it. If you are having an emergency, they just do whatever is needed and you are golden. I know hundreds of people in my neighbourhood who have had surgeries done on "card" and most could not otherwise afford it.


What I've read about government hospitals in India is that they're extremely overcrowded, with people crowding the hallways and waiting rooms to be seen while bleeding out or dying from illness, without even air conditioning in a lot of places. On the other hand, this was reported by a young Indian doctor that wanted to get to the UK ASAP, so not sure how representative his accounts are.

Who will feed 1.5 billion people then? Being dependent on trump for corn and rice?

You don't need the majority of your population in farming to feed your people. In developed countries basically no one does farming. Farmers are technologists who operate vast fleet of machines to do the bulk of the work for them and who think in systems, not the quaint image of a simple man and his plough

In other words in developed countries farming is mechanized in India it's not and until it's mechanized India is doomed to always be an agricultural pastoralist developing Nation


I'm a lawyer. I deal with government officials on behalf of clients.

I will give a different context of it.

Many people "do actually" commit tax fraud. It's just real.

Then you have people who don't do "compliance" and government officials see this as potential cash cow.

Then you have third category of "clients". These people just are unlucky. The officer "wants" to get a certain sum of money as bribes so they are indiscriminate in who they target. Any fully compliant client "has to" pay to avoid "further complications" and they quietly pay because they don't want hassles.

This website was built by end users who see "oh why do I have to pay a bribe" when most likely they have committed tax fraud and just want to be quiet about it.

Example.

People calling fake deductions in their income tax returns or giving fake donations and claiming deductions. People often say "oh I didn't know" but it'd actually tax fraud so why not face full music of the law if you do it?


My question is, how do you "prove" this.

We have cases in India where someone was held to not having been commited a crime 30 years after being first caught taking few bucks.

They lost their life, earnings, social status and in the end a judge says "you are free to go" but there is no compensation. https://www.news18.com/india/declared-innocent-after-30-year...

Or this case

But it doesn't mean corruption isn't caught or people don't care. They do, it's just people get away with a lot of things


What's the current best Mac to buy for offline LLM in used market?

I am seeing 96Gb Mac studio 3rd gen I think for a good amount but I guess it would be better than paying for mac mini newer models with lesser ram?

Or would it make sense to buy used 32 GB Mac mini 3 or 5?

Is there a cost/dollar for various generations which I could compare against used market and pick the most effective one?


Why does it have to be a Mac? Your money probably goes further with a generic PC and Linux?

Really?

The power envelope has to be considered as well.


Later Yahoo public chat rooms.

Loud, noisy, fun


Windows really I'd shitty for "assuming" unlimited ram, storage, processing, internet budget for them to get away with it.

They "could" make it easy but why bother? I assume next update will make calculator 1 gb download, 2gb ram resident and ADS


I grew up and around 7-8 I started cracking my neck. It was like an accordian. For years it worked.

Now I get maybe one crack every few weeks but the magic is gone.

Same for my hands. I was "voracious" cracker, now my fingers get 10% of the cracks I used to get.

I still am able to crack my back, lower back by tugging on my belt and that releases a lot of uumpf. For upper back, I lay on my back, put my knuckles below the spine and go down one by one. Satisfying.

I also have a problem. Every time I stand for a long time, do some work standing up, my lower back is like dead. So I get someone to get on my sacro-illiac joint I think and a loud crack and I'm fit as a fiddle. I'm weird


The back crack is excellent. If I feel it getting sore, it fixes it every time.

Older office 2019 or 21 I think with massgrave.

Libreoffice.

I'm more and more relying less on office nowadays.


Being a potato guy through and through, it grinds my gears that potatoes get a bad rap.


The American Indians in South America, ate potatoes for hundreds of years, potatoes, even saved many people in Europe there’s nothing wrong with them in moderation.


They also had a much more active lifestyle (e.g. farming, hunting, physical training, etc.) that would offset carb heavy foods.


those potatoes aren't like the ones we cultivate now; similar for things like corn and bananas.

and they weren't eating half a kilo of them, deep fried, in a sitting (e.g. fish and chips or McD's french fries) for breakfast lunch and dinner


> McD's french fries

those are not potatoes.


are you solid on the inside or like hash browns?
