There is no "full current subsidy" - the existing contributions from Medicare are already a partial subsidy.

But this is kind of a meaningless debate after a point, because the number of unmatched residents is already an upper bound on the number of additional matches (you certainly wouldn't have more people interested when you increased the price to them). And even then, we wouldn't see a huge difference - the number of unmatched domestic applicants isn't enough to make a meaningful dent in the labor supply of practicing physicians - and that's assuming all of the unmatched doctors are as properly qualified as their matched counterparts.

In other words, no, we're not at the exact market-clearing rates for the medical education market, and we consistently bias in one direction from that equilibrium, but we're measurably not far off from it.
It is an odd design choice, I wonder how much it will effect your back after a few hours, from offsetting your right arm, or conversely your next from offsetting your entire body and turning your head.

Anecdotaly I had to get a third monitor as my next was aching from always turning straight to right then back only, no left turning.
Your whole argument is that people are biologically set to specific roles because in some countries where they have the free choice they still go for those roles. But that ignores the fact that even in those societies children are still constantly bombarded with messages telling them what their gender should be when they grow up.

You're looking at the finish line and making an answer while ignoring the fact that they are placed on different courses from birth.

Ask HN: Register Delaware C corp electronically?
Clerky say that they can register Delaware C corps electronically, however on the site corp.delaware.gov, I can only find some pdfs to mail in, and those pdfs don't seem to render correctly.

From the Clerky site:
"In order to ensure reliability, we electronically file your certificate of incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State. We typically return the filed certificate of incorporation to you within 2-3 business days."
Plenty of people actually have this position, "you can only be racist or sexist if you have power", i.e you belong to the dominant sex or race.

The truth is that power is based on wealth and class, not your gender, race, or ethnicity.
The concept of force applies only to a very few.

No, it applies to everybody. That you, by happenstance, voluntarily do something that somebody is trying to coerce you into doing does not negate the threat of force.

Your position might change one day when your circumstances change, and then the seemingly benevolent government that you put your faith in may well show its teeth. But those teeth are always lurking, even if they're just out of sight.
That will probably be pushed back when the baby boomers start retiring and the super funds come under pressure with more people withdrawing than members contributing.

This is kind of a pet hate I have. Super funds only make sense when you have more people paying into them than withdrawing. Super funds being a business still need to make a profit to pay investors, wages, brokers, and building associated costs and lawyers. That is kind of the reason why I have my own self managed super fund under my wife and my name that that we purchase government bonds.

It's not perfect by any measure, but its a small price to pay to know that we don't need to pulled over the coals when the whole thing falls in on itself.
That's a good analogy - the problem is a student could reasonably ask "why would you do it this way"? - i.e. this kind of algorithm seems like a better candidate for iteration. Instead of asking the guy in front of you, get up and count the rows. I know it's for teaching purposes of course, but I'd like the analogy to involve a task that requires that you try something, then back track to some earlier state, then try a different thing, etc.

Of course, I guess this just highlights how all the toy examples we see in CS courses often use trivial things like computing Fibonacci sequences or factorials, which are much easier to do iteratively. This often leaves students wondering why anyone would ever even use recursion, or at best, makes it seem like recursion vs. iteration is a mere stylistic choice.

I don't know if it is enough to balance the social aspects.
I can understand it, but it's basically a classist system. The advocates are saying rich people are better than everyone else, they should be able to bribe their way into better health care because they can afford to. A single payer system that puts everyone, regardless of race, class, age, at the end of the line - and as they do not like how things work, they fix it. What's important is creating the auditing mechanisms for identifying and evaluating problems, prioritizing them, and then getting them fixed.

But the reality is, the for-profit system already forces people into a substandard single payer system in a huge portion of the U.S. where there's only one insurer, not least because health insurance is an anti-competitive business but aren't regulated per competition law.

A point well worth emphasizing. Probably would help if more people interested in such stuff (whether academics or private enthusiasts) started to recognize the importance of the biochemical side and striving for an ever more complete understanding of it, rather than piling epidemiological and observational long-term "study" upon study.. these are valuable, too, granted, but just like in software development, I suspect there's a lot of castles being built on profoundly muddy/slippery/incomplete foundations

> attributable only to difference in gender.

Ehhh you're really gonna need to show me this study, including detailed descriptions of the male and female cohorts showing that every male and female pair in the study are exactly the same age, have the same amount of experience, exact same education level, and work for the same company. Otherwise you can't really claim that the only difference is gender, now can you?

The problem is, you can't come up with such a study. Furthermore, the idea that companies are paying women with "exactly the same" skills as men in "exactly the same" positions up to 20% less doesn't make any sense at all. Why would I ever hire a man in that case? I'd rather save 20% off the top. And if I had no choice but to hire a man, why would I pay 20% over the market rate? And how is it that this conspiracy to pay women less exists in every company, in every industry, in every country in the world?

In a single payer system thats not going to work. Keep in mind that you don't make money anymore you have a taxpayer paid budget. Thats not going to leave room for that.

Well the problem is the question "how about you devs". This is very much not aimed at developers or professionals of really any kind (well maybe one kind). This is aimed squarely at gamers.

I used to play semi-pro gaming back before it was a televised event, and an offset keyboard was normal. The mouse was of equal importance, and home row was WASD. I controlled the keyboard with my left hand exclusively, so having it offset to the left on a laptop would make sense. Of course, I wouldn't use a track pad but I actually know people who did (believe it or not).

The target market for this device already have their keyboard offset to the left. And they're not typing 120wpm into NetBeans.

(Besides, as a desktop replacement they're almost expecting you're going to have a mouse and keyboard attached)

I assert being bankrupted

How is being bankrupted a violation of your rights? If anything, it would seem that it's the opposite, as it's your creditors who lose something that you had committed to repay them, no?

affordable, accessible healthcare

You have the right to purchase as much health-care as you can, based on some balance between what you want and can afford. But on what basis do you assert that the world owes you health-care? In the absence of any other system, would you say that it's OK to stick a gun in the face of a doctor and command her to treat you for free? Are you entitled to medical care to the point that your "right" trumps the rights of others to avoid coercive force?

That comment sums up what I learned from http://www.alfiekohn.org/homework-myth/.

Every so often I run across more recent research on the same topic. It always comes to the same conclusion.

But parents generally feel better about their kids having poor results if they see evidence that their kids are at least putting out lots of effort. Homework serves as evidence, so it is hard to get rid of it.

In the meantime I'm lucky that 3/4 of my children get to go to https://www.vandammeacademy.com/ which believes in doing what is proven to work. Therefore they have a no homework policy, adopt proven methods like Singapore math, and so on. Which is why 3/4 of my children are getting a truly superior education with far, far less work.

Just to give a relevant anecdote about how strongly parents can feel about it, I know a fellow parent there who turned down a $400k/year job at Google because it would have meant that he had to move to Silicon Valley. He is convinced that he has found the best K-8 school in the country and won't take that away from his children.

He's far from the only parent at the school who feels that way.
Nope. Not remotely worth it. The off center keyboard would be a deal breaker even if it were $1k less.
> Paxos-like algorithms which are used by existing distributed file systems, can have artificial contention points due to their dependence on a distributed log.

It's half true. Paxos is an ambiguous term. It includes Multi-Paxos and Single-Decree Paxos (aka Synod). The first one is a log based algorithm, while the second is a just a register. So your critic is valid only for the first part of the Paxos family.

Actually, Bizur is very similar (almost indistinguishable) to Single Decree Paxos - just compare it with the algorithm described in the video [1] by Heidi Howard or in my post "In search of a simple consensus algorithm" [2]

IIRC that benchmark is garbage, because the compiler they use was so old that Debian Stale had a newer version in their repos, when that article was first published.

Ah, here it is. From https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/3snvpc/steamo...

"took a quick peek at the latest Geekbench executable for Linux(3.3.2,) it was compiled with GCC 4.4.3 on Ubuntu 10.04 - a 5 and a half year old compiler. Windows version was compiled with MSVC 2012 update 4 released 2 years ago."

Take note: That ars article was done ~15 months ago (november 2015). In it, they used Ubuntu 10.04, which was released in April of 2010 (thus '10.04')! Steam wasn't even released on Linux, until nearly 3 years later, in 2013!

That article is so BS that you should ignore it outright. It's not even fit to be toilet paper.

The government can charge rent for utilisation of land and other natural resources. That's not the same thing as a tax, and it can be morally justified.

Revenue from such rent would be enough to cover the government dealing with externalities, whether that be generating positive externalities or reducing negative ones.

Welfare is a nonvoluntary transfer of income, to force one party to provide for the basic needs of another. It can't happen in a free society. It leads to an explosion in single parenthood. When a guaranteed income is conditioned only on a person existing, then you will encourage people to bring people into existence at the lowest possible cost to themselves. That's indeed what the statistics show for Western countries over the last 40 years.
This is one of the problems with IT: it has too little science behind it. A lot of things are built based on common sense, tradition, and chutzpah. Much like building was in medieval times. No wonder things often crash and take a hard-to-predict time to build.

Some things can be over-engineered but under-scienced, so to say, at the same time.

A lot of great computer science already exists, and is applicable, and some of it is taught at universities. But it's not required for a CRUD app or for a flappy bird clone. And when you grow up enough to want more complex things, a lot is already forgotten.
Keep in mind that this was a study of 60 individuals all in the same old age home. I haven't read the study (just the abstract), but it seems possible to me that the study is biased by having selected the participants based on the results rather than as a random sample. For example, let's say I look at 1000 old age homes and find one in which all the residents are healthier than other old age homes. Then I find some unusual behaviour in the old age home and attribute that to the increased health. This is classical biased sampling.

It's like looking at all the classrooms in the US and picking the one with the best grades. Then noticing that there is a higher than normal occurrence of the letter "M" in the students' names. Finally we conclude that using the letter "M" in your child's name will lead to a better outcome in their schooling.

Like I said, I haven't read the paper, but I've seen so many similar studies with biased sampling (or with absolutely no mention of their sampling techniques) that I'm highly suspicious.

While it is interesting (and possibly merits further study), I don't think you will find an answer to your question in your lifetime, unfortunately. Experiments that would provide good results will take a long time, if they are ever even attempted.

I think about that a lot. I don't know if the events in my life would have unfolded the same, but all things equal, I would've had them earlier just so their mom and I would be in their lives 10-15 years longer. Also, just pushing 40 health starts becoming a real issue vs. thirty, so that can be a bit of a stressor, but I try to manage with diet, exercise.

Wait until the May 2017 budget. The government may announce co-payment or tax incentive to keep the system going. For my situation I will jump and purchase a new house if I can deduct interest repayment from my taxable income. It would level the playing field where as a investor you can deduct interest repayments from their taxable income but as a owner occupier you cant.

I get a bit emotional about this because I went got a CS degree in 2000 and my colleagues quit high school at year 10, and purchase a house in 1998 for $80,000 and in 10 years time that same house was now worth $450,000. In that time they've leverage themselves with 2-3 investment properties. They pay less tax than I do and simply because they got in before the massive housing boom.

Yes I'm pissed about the whole situation.

You can only get these improvements if you understand what you are writing and stop using sass to write bloated files.

Just having decent health care is a struggle in america. if you don't have a job and you are not independently wealthy you are basically screwed pre-ACA.

I was about to start writing a similar comment, but you saved me the time. I just wanted to emphasize that this is why people consistently under/over estimate how many calories they eat.
