Well it depends, France adopted widespread use of diffusion weighted MRI as first line modality for stroke because it's much more sensitive than cect, but yeah, most institutions do CT scan as a first line for several reasons including one you've provided.

Can you provide a citation for the France assertion? I think it’s wildly unlikely a protocol for acute stroke would favor mri over ct but could be wrong. It would take 20 minutes to transfer a pt to mri in a lot of stroke centers in the USA, as opposed to CT’s that are generally across the hall, where imaging should be read within 30 minutes of door time I believe.

Also I’m not sure what you increased “sensitivity” would get you. Acute stroke is a clinical diagnosis, the imaging determines the type of stroke and treatment.

Bezos didn’t get where he is from just the free market. He got here because he was fortunate enough to have parents who could give him a $250k seed round.

He was a finance guy during the tech boom. He could have gotten the capital somewhere else.

My career started in the 2000s. Oracle was already a bit of a cancer then. It was Oracle or MS SQL for "real" databases. There were technologies that had been exciting in the 90s but were already choked out by the duopoly like InterBase and Foxpro.

There were "greybeard" DBAs who were all smug Oracle guys.

My impression then was that Oracle didn't invent anything but had dominated through better funding and ruthless expansion. Administrating a Oracle DB at scale was really hard but that created armys of loyal DBAs protecting their hard-won skills.

What ever happened to foxpro?

Caddy coupled with Caddy-Docker-Proxy [0] is a marvelous way to set up a server with multiple docker projects. I have it running on a couple of servers, and it just works!

Have you tried Traefik? Could you compare the two? I was going to migrate to traefik soon but would consider any alternative

Side note, but I hate that we're moving to a world where coding costs a subscription. I fell in love with coding because I could take my dad's old Thinkpad, install Linux for free - fire up Emacs and start hacking without an internet connection.

We're truly building walls everywhere.

Vs code is free. And copilot has a free tier.
