It's not just r/politics—that's just one example.

r/programming is another good example. The community there is very hostile and actively downvote and hate on most new things that aren't C++/Java/.NET/Python sometimes. It's been stereotyped as a bunch of overly angry .NET/Java devs, not sure how accurate that is but the angry part is right. It's just a waste of time.
At least one has: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermont_health_care_reform

It apparently didn't work well, though.
Heh. I've never thought of solving that via a delay before but it's a brilliant idea. I can't think of the site at the moment (but it was a popular well respected one) but yesterday I got caught 3 times in a row by this issue. I just kept thinking to myself "how could you have so little respect for your users?"
Probably gonna get downvoted for this, but I want to point out that there's a lot of coded language here:

"urban" = poor/not white

"transient" = homeless/drifter

"aren't as invested" = don't contribute to society

> It's very easy to frame up a plausible argument which is actually false, and inexperienced people do it all the time.

The problem is that experienced people do it too, though (hopefully) less often; so, if you get in the habit of trusting arguments more because of who has made them, then you will never have a chance of catching that mistake.

I think what is missing here for me (and in a lot of these types of posts) is a discussion of volume.

Now, what happens if someone with an infant or developmentally challenged teenager signs up? Their needs present an entirely new set of problems, problems that could be solved by a startup but not necessarily by ours. Remember you don’t have to pivot your business because a customer needs something that you don’t offer.

Is he literally saying that someone would be tempted to pivot a product based on a single instance? Or is that loose language for some, say 1% of the user base.
"Startup says they don't want developmentally disabled people as customers."

No reason this should be an issue (provided it is handled tactfully) as many daycare centers aren't able to take on special needs children, either.

React native was not mature enough the last time I had to solve this problem. After writing and maintaining native clients in both Android and iOS for years, I decided to try something different. SPA app + Cordova + writing custom, native plugins for performance has worked out pretty well. Some things in the UI are not as fast as I would like, but develop/test/release cycle is so much faster (web, ios, android released nearly at the same time). It does help that I can write native Android or native iOS (obj-c/swift) to handle the plugins where needed. Cordova can also be a bit of a mess to deal with sometimes, but it is improving.

There will be a class action over windows 10, and it not assured that MS will win as you seem to think. Sorry that is just not how any of this works.

This is sad but true. Most of my local startups desperately want to hire students from top schools even just for short term internships to attract investors.
I went through this. It's only possible to stand your ground if you have sufficient capital reserves to wait for other customers. In our case we had burned up most of our funding through several pivots so when a prospective customer agreed to pay for Product Y there was no practical alternative but to say yes.
They mentioned that the exit node can see your traffic, but they left out that they don't know who you are. They also left out that the VPN can both see your traffic and probably knows who you are.
I mean, you can literally just ask a site like Shodan to give you a list of publicly available SNMP interfaces. Do you see a lot of what look like ASAs on that list?
I was running Ubuntu 14.04 on a small PC with XBMC and proprietary Nvidia drivers. The standard `apt-get update` would never rebuild the nvidia drivers so inevitably on reboot, X couldn't start and I had to figure out why, then rebuild the nvidia drivers manually, and try again.

I'm much more scared of Ubuntu aptitude updates than I am of Microsoft updates.

It's a shame we see it this way. Fewer people would resent paying tax which goes towards roads and healthcare even if they never travelled much and were healthy - they appreciate this as a basic right for people (sure, some will even disagree about this) but we now live in times where raising a family is no longer seen as a cause we should happily support as a part of our society.
Yes, obviously you can sniff community strings, but that only helps if you're speaking SNMP over the Internet.

Again the case I'm making is that this particular bug is really only useful for persisting onto networks you've already compromised.
I don't have a cover for my OnePlus One, and I don't believe I ever will. I have dropped it maybe 5 times, sometimes on concrete, and it's still fine (with some minor chips on the side). I'm very confident I won't scratch the display in any reasonably conceivable scenario.

Maybe instead of making thin phones so people can have covers, the focus should be on making more durable phones that don't need covers.

(Then again there's the whole obsession with personalization, especially in Asia - but they'll put rather bulky things on the phone in the first place, so thickness should not be a huge issue)

I think that I don't understand this post. This sentence seems to start by saying that we should respect people's desire to be anonymous, but to conclude by saying that it's a problem when … we don't know who they are?
What is the harm in rewriting history in your private "topic branch"? This is not uncommon for the use case the author was describing. It certainly creates a cleaner logical history.

Analysis of 1981 Paper “Climate Impact of Increasing Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide”
Yes: http://www.wsj.com/articles/as-rental-supply-grows-landlords..., but NYC and CA have both been underbuilding for decades; price growth has slowed and even declined by about 1%, which is an improvement over perpetual growth, but it would take far more units to see sustained declines towards the cost of construction. See for example http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2011/03/how-skys....
It took me like 30 seconds of thinking before I could think of any reason why this would ever matter.

ASAs are often used at the perimeter of small satellite networks using a local ISP's internet access, and then connecting back to HQ with IPSEC tunnels. I would guess that it is not uncommon, though bad practice, to centrally monitor SNMP on the external interface instead of over the IPSEC tunnel (which can be a little tricky to do).

i think your diagnosis is wrong. show me a conservative news outlet on the web with a high SNR of thoughtful and intelligent comments, free of frothing, conspiracy-laden bullshit. maybe the NYT is an echo chamber because modern conservative positions are so weak and contradictory, they can't stand the withering critique of a well-moderated forum. instead, they only survive in troll havens.

as for brooks' column, you might be missing some context. brooks has made a career of talking out of both sides of his mouth and (annoyingly) providing intellectual cover from the NYT for a plethora of bad conservative ideas. now that they're blowing up in his face, he's backing away from these stances.

this comment articulates it well:

"He should realize that we’ve been trying to bring the tribal ethos to the U.S. for a long time, with strong local communities providing the sort of help and social services that bind people together and take care of each other as we get older, or fall short in some way.

But He Who Talks with Forked Tongue likes to imagine an egalitarian utopia where 99 percent of us are quietly stitching blankets while a few get to hoard the vital resources. When the tribesmen and women protested and occupied Wall Street, Brooks nearly went on the warpath, and wrote a column in the Times entitled “The Milquetoast Radicals,” (10/11/2011) in which he castigated the unwashed hippies who dared to protest the insane degree of income inequality in this country."

> you end up controlling costs by compelling the providers

This is the basic premise of socialism. But it never works out. What you end up getting is either very low quality at high prices or very low availability.

Obamacare attempts to do exactly that, and as a result the providers are simply leaving the "market". Meanwhile, price has skyrocketed, and quality of coverage has dropped dramatically.

My marketplace plan would likely bankrupt me if I got a serious condition, however the coverage I had before Obamacare was very good and very cheap. I'm not that much older!
> It's funny, but the website is actually the preferred format, and way better than the ebook.

I agree but I'd correct that to 'web is the preferred medium' instead of 'website is a preferred format'.

Websites aren't a book reading experience. I mean they can hold the content of a book but even as we gain on accessibility with a website the reading direction, proper pagination and memorize-ability is lost.

It doesn't feel like a book anymore.

The issue is not that the ACA is causing Aetna to fail. Aetna makes an enormous amount of money on employer sponsored health care plans. Where Aetna was losing money was on the public exchanges, a new line of business that didn't exist before the ACA.

And it's not just them. Nearly all of the large insurance companies are pulling out of the exchanges because they're losing money. A lot of people believe this is because, as they are currently constructed, the public exchanges are untenable. And that's a very big deal if it's true. Not for the profitability of insurance companies, but for public health care policy in this country.

Thats really interesting, thanks for breaking down the numbers!

Ultimately it looks like it is nice consumer friendly option, but the repair costs are being subsidized by Tesla at great expense to Tesla, and even then the total cost compared to the gas car is only marginally better.

The primary takeaway here is that the more expensive car has better resale value, from name and build quality. Which is the only saving grace in this equation.

After Elon's crowdsale cars come out at the lower price, its game over though!

Speaking as a veteran Microsoft administrator, in total seriousness: buy a Mac. If you have a corporate network complete with good administrators, Windows can be made to work well enough. If you are a lone professional, Macs are secure, low-maintenance and have an OS designed by people that care about your privacy. Windows is probably not worth your time or energy right now unless there a specific piece of Windows-only software that you must use.

There's an enormous information and power imbalance in the health insurance contractual relationship. The large number of medical bankruptcies by people that had health insurance is surely a testament to this fact.

Look, I know this article is a bit diluted, but haven't you always wanted to hear your favourite music filtered through an obnoxious reverb filter? Imagine, you can now have the experience of hearing Bob Marley perform in an opera theatre!

In all honesty this has to be one of my favorite quotes from the article: "But there are good arguments to be made for embracing USB audio, Saunders said, and the companies that make USB controller chips are very excited about the idea." Wow, the people manufacturing this thing are excited about it? No way
And one other thing, Simply choosing other software is pointless unless you can get the majority of users to follow you or get enough users to make a large enough PR problem for the offending company they must react. (as MS has done several times when complaints have reached critical mass)

one way to do that is Continue to bring up this issues in public forums, to educate the users of these software products.

One way not to do that is to continue to be a defeatist and say "well the world sucks and is run by sociopaths so i give up" which is what your posts are about
As a counterpoint, I'm exactly the opposite.

In general I won't buy a book unless it's available as an ebook. Over time I've found all of the features of paper books that I like are just no comparison to the convenience and usefulness of ebooks.

> Driving the quickest 4 door sedan ever made: $0

The Tesla can’t even reach 160km/h, while on the Autobahn the average speed on some stretches is around 180km/h, how is it the "quickest 4 door sedan ever made" when even a fucking VW passat sedan or minivan is faster?

The most likely outcome is a public option in the exchanges. I don't expect that many private insurers will continue to participate in the exchanges if they have to compete with a public option, so the public option will end up being a de-facto single-payer system for poor people who have to use the exchanges.

It's because in healthcare, the vendor never knows if or when they will be paid, and how much it will cost to get paid, so the strategy is to charge as much as possible and just hope for the best. That means people who are dead broke get their care for free since they have nothing to pay with, insurance companies and the government strong arm the vendor into discounts since they buy in volume, and the person that gets screwed is the little guy who makes enough money to not be poor, but not enough money to have gold plated insurance but he also can't fight the hospital.

I don't understand why so many private insurers participated in the exchanges in the first place. It seems pretty obvious that the people who need to purchase from the exchanges are less likely to be healthy than the general population, because they probably haven't had much preventative care in the past, due to their prior lack of insurance, and also because poverty and poor health are highly correlated.

Imagine that you ran a car insurance company, and the government set up an exchange where the least-skilled drivers could purchase insurance. Would you participate?

"Provably the most productive" seems to boil down to estimating that Smalltalk is more terse in statements per function point. Incidentally, by that metric Python is only half as productive as Visual Basic, which doesn't seem plausible. No comment about extra test coverage and prod bugs caused by lack of static typing.

"Image-based persistence" means your production-ready code and dinking around during prototyping (in a language with frictionless monkey-patching!) are all buried in one big mutable blob. It's often argued the impedance mismatch with version control is what killed Smalltalk.
Yeah, it's true I guess, and if you're using a random community string and this is NSA, I think we can all safely assume NSA knows every community string spoken anywhere on the public Internet.
